We reckon the ice dealers from Terre
Haute, Indianapolis, Cincinnati. st. Louis
and Louisville viii not be compelled to
come as far north as Rock Island this sea-
son to find a supply. Sorry for it, for we
hoped they would furnish a few weeks
work for two or three hundred men here,
as they did last year. But the polar wave
seems to have reached pretty well south,
this winter, as will be seen by the follow
ing from the St Louis Democrat.
Ice next season promises to be drug,
as any one who uses it to any great extent
is putting up full supply. Many of the
breweries have already filled their ice
houses. Southern orders are coming in
more briskly as the season advances, and
the two lines operating from here to Cairo
and Belmont by rail, and thence south by
boats, will be able to load two boats a weel
each from this on, instead Of one as here
tofore.

Our accurate and intelligent cotempo-
rary says the man Hendricks, in Daven-
port sustained a compound fracture of
the scalp! of which he died." &c., &c.
Who in the world ever heard of "a COM
pound fracture of the scalp ?"-or any
body dying from that cause? Drs French
and j. F. Baker, who made the post NOR
tenn, testified that they found fracture Of
tbs skull extending from one temporal
bone to the other, and also extensive effu-
sion of blood between the scalp and the
skull. The whole frontal bone was nova
ble-the scalped handle could be inserted
in the fracture. The injury looked as if it
had been caused by fall. The effusion
of blood in the brain was sufficient to cause
death And the jury returned verdict of
death ''by falling down steps and striking
his head against stone wall and pave
ment, fracturing the skull extensively, and
producing effusion of blood and compress
sion of brain

The City Don't Pay Cash sor its Orders

Saturday, it was reported that the pre-
sent city administration had busted the
city treasury and was issuing scrip to pay
city Indebtedness. This morning, on in
quiry of the city treasurer we learned that
the clerk was directed by the council at the
last regular meeting to fill orders "paya-
BILE in sixty days" Why did no. this fact
appear in the published proceedings :?
Was the administration afraid to have the
people know that il had spent too much
money and was compelled to repudiate
payment when due? The published pro.
ceedings read as follows:
The clerk read the following bills and on motion
the rules were suspended and bills allowed and Or
dered paid.
And then follows list of bills allowed
amounting to $l,6O606, But it now turns
out that the published statement is not
true. They were not ordered paid"
They were allowed, and the clerk directed
to issue sirty day orders Why not say so
in the published proceedings? The mayor
and aldermen are simply hired men, at
work for the people Have not the people
who hire and pay them a right to know
everything they do7 When they attempt
to deceive their masters and suppress from
them information they have a right to, it is
time to turn them of and hire another set.

q Young Nan is Deserted by His Com

A Kaskaskia correspondent of the Spar
ia Plaindealer, writing under date of De-
cember Is, 1874, gives the following ac-
count of horrible death near that place
from smallpox,
About three miles above this town, at a
clearing on the kaskaskia river, the re-
mains of young man, who died of SMALL
pox last Saturday, is still lying in an old
shanty, no steps having been taken to bury
it. The story as it was related to me this
morning is as follows:
The deceased and two companions occu-
pied the shanty as wood-choppers. Some
time last week the young man was taken
sick, and his companions suspecting the
nature of his illness and fearing the con-
tagion, deserted the hu:, leaving the poor
fellow to his fate; first, however, mailing
to an adjacent tree written notice of their
departure and the cause This notice was
not observed until after the mao DEATH
which is supposed to have occurred on
Saturday or Saturday night. When dis
covered he was lying upon rude bedstead
with no other bedding than some old
straw, and his headwaslhanging!over a board
nailed across the end of his rough couch.
And he lies there yet His miserable
remains are still rottlng above ground,
and doubtless the winds are scattering the
loathsome pestilence all over the country.
No one it seems, even Of those land there
are seyeral) who have had the smallpox in
its worst form has had the temerity and
charity to give the wretched corpse burial,
although box and grave have been pre-
pared for it. The suffering of the poor
man must have been dreadful upon such a
deathbed, with 10 one to give him drink
of water or alleviate in any degree the

stances The unfortunate creature was
