We were exposed last week to pitt
less storm, that wet our feet and stockings
and indeed our person all over. In fact
we took a cracking cold, which brought
sore throat and severe symptoms Of fever.
The good wife asserted her authority,
plunged our feet in hot water, wrapped
us In hot blankets, and sent our faithful
son for bottle OF Ayers Cherry Pectoral
1t is splendid medicine pleasant to
take, and did the job. We slept soundly
through the night and awoke well the
next morning. We know we owe our
quick recovery to the Pectoral, and shall
not hesitate to recommend 1t TO all who
need such a medicine. - Tthuacana( Teras)

"Uitizen," who, the Bulletin gays, IL
heavy taxpayer, Is mistaken, when he
says the Sun advocated party politics In
the coming municipal election. We did
not. The BULLETIN declared for the In.
PRODUCTION OF party politics some weeks
ago. and we said II nothing else would
DO, why let the Democrats nominate
their ticket. We thought the RepublI-
cans would not In the paper Of the 2lst
we gave currency to the rumor that the
Republicans were about to take steps to
enter the race. That is all. We are not
In favor OF party politics being intro
duced.-Sun.
The San 10 mistaken. The BULLETIN
has not at any time declared for the In.
PRODUCTION OF party politics In our city
elections. Some time ago the San de.
clared that the Democrats Of the city
were advocating the nomination OF
straight Democratic ticket, and continued
to harp about the matter for several
days. The BULLETIN, in answer to the |
Sun. simply advised that paper to take |
care Of Its own party and the Democrats |
would take care of themselves. So far
az we are aware there has been
no move among Democrats looking to
the nomination of straight ticket, and
we do not know that there will be such
move. But as the editor Of the Sun Is so
anxious for party contest, we are anx-
ious to accommodate him, and assure him
we are not averse to the movement. The
Democrats of Cairo have nothing to tear
from party contest for municipal OH
GERS.
Sometime ago Chief OF Police Goss-
man arrested man named John Duffy
alias John Donnelly, for breaking into
and stealing goods from cars on the Hi.
nois Central railroad. Duffy was tried
before Judge Bross and was held to BAH
10 the sum OF $500. For some time pre-
vious to the arrest of Duffy it was known
that an organized band Of thieves existed
here. but all efforts to break 1t up failed
until Duffy fell into the hands OF the Off
GERS. Duffy's arrest, however, was the
beginning of the end Of the operations
of the gang. Tor several days az
ter his arrest, he sent for the chief
OF police and told him the whole history
Of the operations Of the gang, and gave
him the names Of all the parties belong
ing to il. With this information Chief
Gossman and Officers Andy Cain and
Sargent started out and arrested John
Mccarthy, keeper OF peanut stand on
Ohio levee between Twelfth street and
the Stone depot, and Lewis Stewart and
John Williams, who were taken before
Judge Bross for hearing. Duffy was
brought into court and detailed the OPP
erations Of the thieves from beginning to
end. After hearin z Duffy's evidence the
parties were all held to bail in the sum OF
six hundred dollars each. Two of the
gang. on hearing of Dufy's arrest, left
town and their whereabouts is unknown.
The particulars of the arrest OF these
parties has been kept quiet in the hope
that the parties yet at large might return
to the city, but it is now pretty certain
that they have gone for good.
