--Chas II. Evans Washington avenue
between Eighth and Ninth streets, has on
hand IA splendid stock of family grocer
rics of all kinds, which he is selling at the
lowest prices. lie is determined TO be
not undersold, and challenges compari.

house in the city. If
Under the ordinances the mayor Is
authorized to make rules and regulations
for the government of the police force oil
the city. Would it be improper in US to
suggest that Mayor Lansdcn might prob
ably make worse rule than one prohibit
ing any policeman from "going through"
ordinance breakers. A police constable
has no right to put his hand into the
pocket. Of prisoner and kindly propose
to "takc care Of these things
Capt. Halliday returned from New
York yesterday evening. We have not
had the pleasure of seeing and convers-
ing with him since his return, but gentle
men who has talked with him say he
represents Gen. Burnside as still hopeful
This means much or little, and how little
or how much the good people who are SO
anxious for the construction of this road
will soon learn. Cairo has been fed on
hopes f'r q long time, and now wishes
a little reality to di;sipate upon.
Mr.. Timothy Coyle, formerly of Cal
ro has fitted up the Central House at
Villa Ridge and is now prepared to ac-
commodate the public with frst-class en-.
tertainmenst. This fact is called to the at
tention of the Cairo people, who will al
ways receive from Mr.. Coyle a hearty
welcome and be furnished with the best of
everything his house affords. The Gen.
trail House is next door to the Hudson
House, west Of the station.
William Alba's barber 81 op is grow
ing in public favor every day. 1t is neat
ly fitted up, and can boast of the most
skilltul workmen in the city. The pro-
prietor has had many years experience in
his business and is recognized as one Of the
most expert shavers in Southern Illinois,
while young Alba is a master in his pro-
fesson. Citizens and strangers who wish
q painless shave, luxurious shampooing,
or their hair cut in the latest style should
patronize Alba. His shop is on CONNER
cisl avenue next door to lannon's news
depot. DIFF
They poison dogsin Peoria-the police
do. In Cairo We don't touch the dogs at
all. They have become sacred property
and as numerous as feas in hog pen or on
the sidewalks where hogs most do ,,congre-
gate. If the marshal shoots dog, the
council shouts stop; you'll kill some-
body If he throws out poisoned meat
to the, ours the council shouts "Stop;
you'll poison chicken, or goose, or hog"
And SO the marshal is compelled to hang
up his gun and lay aside his strychnine.
The council then. as matter Of course,
does nothing. The dog problem is SO
large. 1t is mountainous difficulty in
the path Of municipal legislation. 1t
would block the wheels Of congress.
The bridge over the Cache on the
road from Cairo to Mound City has be-
come impassable-it having settled "
in the middle and swaged more than a
foot to one side. The cause of this mis-
fortune has not been ascertained definite
~, but may be attributed to the remov-
al of certain bolts which some person has
taken cut of the bridge. What motive
impelled any person to thus ruin bridge
SO necessary to the public is wrapped in Il
mystery. Judges Bross ard Pidgeon and
Col. Taylor visited the bridge y.ster.iay
and had the approaches to it boarded up.
Judge Pigeon has agreed to supervise the
repairs necessary to make the bridge
available, and will probably have;it ready
for public use in a couple Of weeks.
The freight car blockade on the levee
is creating great Indignation in levee
| business circles. All the merchants are
cursing. They say Johnson, who is al
ways polite and always clever, repeatedly
assures them that he will telegraph and
ascertain if openings can be left IN the long
line ut intervals of say Il square or two ;
but the switch man "cusscs' them and
johnson too-behind his back. What,
therefore is to be done? How, would an in
dignation meeting, with Linegar as orator,
do! Or how would memorial to the
officers Of the road, humbly praying, etc,
answer Or il no remedy for the NUS
ance can be found, how would it answer
10 have the levee merchants delegate few
OF their number TO commit suicide
