their facilities for moving through freights

date all demands that will arise during the
coming winter. The Cairo and Vincennes

The old Baumgard rookery, at the cor
ner Of 18th and Poplar, is a nuisance that
ought to be abated 1t is filthy and dilap,-
dated-gives out unwholesome smells, and
" liable at any moment to tumble down
upon its inmates. If it can't be renovated
end repaired it ought to be demolished
Sill they come and 60. To-day we
strike the names of six of our old friends
from our subscription list and add but five
new ones. The new ones are welcome
The old ones, some Of them have stood by
US for years and we part withregret They
assured us that It is not because they love
THE BULLETIN less, but because times are
hard and money scarcer. One other stops
until winter comes May it soon be here
Among the recent deaths in this city
was that of Dane, named Leon Peterson.
He was cripp lie, quiet unobtrusiye man,
but person of varied information and
more than ordinary culture. No man in
Southern Illinois was more thoroughly IA
miliarized with the modern history of En-
rope. Mary years ago, while rounding
ing Cape Horn, his feet were frozen, so that
,Ccomotion, with him, was quite difficult.
He died on Friday.

The report current yesterday evening
to the effect that the dead body of a negro
woman (who mad not been seen for a week
or more) was found in the old Bsumgard
building, at the corner of Seventeenth and
Poplar, was not warranted by the facts in
the case. Kate Stokes, a colored widow
woman, died there during the day; but had
been sick two or three weeks, end, at the

No troupe travelling ever won so rapidly
and wonderfully upon popular favor.
Crowded houses greet their entertainments
everywhere; and in truth no one can wit
ness them without feeling the better and
happier for it. 1t has been justly said Of
the entertainment that the music, always
pleasing and vivacjous and at times really
beautiful and captivating, relieves the prod
igality Of nonsense, and the nonsense re-
lieves the profuse and bewildering situa-
tons; and everybody is amused and goes
away with halfa dozen pretty airs humming
in his head to be wh;stled on the morrow.
1t is not for the want Of kindly feeling
toward the lamented DR.. Waldo, Phil How
ard, Henry Wilcox and other victims of the
yellow fever, that we do not bes.ow npon

topic from our columns. With our citizens
who knew them, and relatives who loved
them, memory will serve as a more endur-
ing re ostory than the perishable columns
Of newspaper, and in that repository we
feel constrained to leave the store of cher
ished recollectons fiat so intensity our sor-
rows over their loss. after lifes titful

spected, in death they)are lamented,
