medical boards in charge of the sanitary
affairs OF the cities named prove by ire.
tutable statistics that the practice OF dis
infection, once so popular, has almost
completely removed the scourge OF vel
lew fever from those cities, or at least di.
vested it of its principal terrors. While
we OF Cairo need have no fears on &C.
count of the yellow ieyer, there are other
diseases that it is as well to guard against,
and now is good time to 90 into the
! disinfecting process. An "ounce Of pre-
vention is worth pound Of cure
There. is much complaint among TIN
fremen of the city at the condition O.
the public cisterns, and we have been re.
quested to call the attention OF the mayor
and city council to the matter 1t is
said there is not cistern in the city that
could be used in Case of fire. All
except the one at the corner Of
Commercial avenue and Fourteenth
street are entirely empty, and while the
one at the corner of Commercial avenue
and Fourteenth street has water in il
the manner in which the opening OF
mouth is covered with dirt rendc rs it I'M
available in the case OF fire. This is a
matter that deserves the immediate at.
tention of the authorities, and we hope
they will see to it without delay.
There was an unusually large nun
Der Of people in attendance at the cere.
mony of decorating the graves of the
soldiers in the national cemetery a
Mound City yesterday. Allthe railroad
running into this city and Mound City
run special trans, and it is estimated
that not lcss than fou
thousand persons visited lht
cemetery during the day. The cere
monies were OF the usual impressive ant
beautiful character, and all the graves
in the cemetery, Federal and Confeder
ate alike, were decorated. Col. G. W
Mckeaig, of this city, was chosen presi
dent Of the day, and patriotic and ap
proprlate addresses were made by Col
Bagby of Paducah, Kentucky, and Col
Wallace, of Lexington, Missouri. Ev
erything passed OFT quietly and pleas
antly, and we hear OF no accidents OF an,
kinds occurring g.
But few persons outside OF the shel
IFS office have any idea of the number O
people who at every term of court see
positions on the juries. There are pl
fessional iurymen-men who do not hes
tate to make application to the sheriff an
his assistants to be placed on the regula
panel OF the petit or grand juries. Tn
