A NoYEn. REOUEsT

In Milwaukee woman weighing 800
pounds applied to the chief for permission
to keep dog without license. Her dog was
healthy one from the country, (which she
was tattening preparatory to serving him
up with relishes, for first-class dinner.
The chief was astonished at the request
based upon such unusual grounds, and
sent her to Mayor Ludington. She
visited the honorable gentleman in care
Of the interests of Milwaukee, and made
her mild request. The mayor leaned
back in his chair, surveyed the rotund
woman before him, then hastily penned
the following:
william Beck, Chief OF Police:
DEAR SIR This lady has applied 10
me to have her dog relieved from the
city tax, as she is fattening him for the
purpose Of eating.
From her emaciated appearance
judged she needed something Of the kind,
and SO agreed to have you Instruct the
policemen not to interfere with her, but
let her cat dog or any other rare food
that will suit her delicate palate. Yours,
with respect,
II. LUDINGToS, Mayor.
That woman's family would be of ill.,
calculable service to such towns as Cairo.

LITERARY SOCIETIES

All cities have their literary societies
and debating clubs. They are the schools
whence orators and statesmen come and
when conducted on truly intellectual
basis, do good from the moment Of their
organization. We have ono In Cairo, the
Taylor Literary Club, composed of the
very best and most promising young
men in the city. All their efforts are be-
Ing directed towards permanent estab-
iishment Of the society In the field of lit
erature and knowledge. To reach this
position money is necessary TO supply it
with encyclopedias, dictionaries, works
on art and science, the poets, histories,
globes, apparatus for scientific research
ana observation, and whatever may tend
70 advance them In their search after use
tui information. In view of this tact they
nave set apartfriday night, 2ith inst, for
musical entertainment of q novel and
interesting character, In the Athcneum.
Inc citizens of Cairo should take pleas
ufe IN assisting the members of the Tay-
1or Literary Club in their efforts to arouse
among the young people Of the commu-
NIFTY aspirations TINT lead TO honor aud
distinction. We are satisfied the Cair,
club will be success, as the young gen
tlemen who are interested in its welfar
are energetic, talented, and devoted I
the enterprise. Assistance now is wha
they most need, then their route on war
will be easier and better defined.

TROUBLE IN THE MuRPMYsBORO
JAIL YARD.

A few days ago fire broke out in the
rear ofthe Murphysboro Jail. which drew
to the scene a large crowd of people.
The fire was extinguished. when a larger
crowd than was necessary fingered in the
jail yard. Inside the jail are Bulliner and
the rest Of the Williamson county men
charged with the murder of Sisney. The
jailer's wife, Mrs. Connor, fearing that
something was wrong ordered the crowd
to disperse. A few obeyed the command
Of Mrs. Connor, but a number remained, ,
pushed her aside and told her to 60 about
her business. She called her husband
who was inside the Jail. In obedience
to the summons he appeared ON
the scene, and after being told by Mrs.
Conner how matters stood drew his pis-
tol and emptied the contents OF two
chambers into the crowd. A man named
Ned Driver was shot in heleg. Drivers
brother received shot in one Of his arms.
Both are reported as quiet and law
abiding citizens, and it may turn out that
Conner was little too haSty. But it is
generally conceded that the jailer cannot
be too vigilant when it Is taken into con.
sideration that inside the jail walls are
some Of the noted men of the williamson
county vendetta who have desperate and
true friends on the outside.

causes OF thought, have increased in
mathematical progression since the
invention of the art Of printing, yet
the pen has received small
aid in its endeavOrs to record them.
Men have drudged long enough; the
drudgery should last no longer. Observ-
ers Of the evils of the English alphabet
have many times attempted to devise q
phonetic system Of writing. In 1887 a
system of shorthand was published by
MIR. Isaac Pltman, Of Bath, England; q
system so simple and philOsophic in its
principles, tending SO certainly to the
speed and legibilify which are the great
requisites of system Of writing for the
masses. that it became deservedly popu-
lar. One Of the inventors own brothers,
Mr.. Benn Pitman, travelled over Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland, spreading
knowledge Ofthe art, and finally located in
Cincinnati, Ohio, where he now resides; by
him an American edition was prepared
and copyrighted with many improve
ments suggested by the needs of the
American public. This edition was follow.
ed by many others from the same source,
and these are now preferred to English
editions.
