For many years past the salaries of certain public officers have been by law, payable in advance. An act of the last Assembly, passed on the eve of final adjournment, provides that all public salaries shall be paid quarterly in advance. Irecomend the repeal of this act, and all pre-existing statutes authorizing ad- vance payments. l cannot imagine any poss- ble reason for such payments. The objections are self-eVident.

THE LATE LEON PETERSON.

The following obituary notice Of Leon
Peterson was handed into THE BULLETIN
Office on Monday evening, but owing to a
crowd Of other matter, we were compelled
to defer its publication until to-day. The
Rev. Mr.. Deuschner's reference to the char
scter of Mr. Peterson we heartily endorse.
Peterson was a man of fine culture, although
unattractive exterior By many who were
capable of judging he was pronounced an
excellent scholar An honest, upright and
conscientious man we knew him to be. Rev.
Mr.. d. notice reads as follows:
Last Saturday night, at the hospital in
this city, Leon Peterson, a native of Den
mark died and was buried at the Seven
Mile graveyard Sunday at noon. He had
for years been resident among us and was
known as peaceable man, who tried hard
to live honestly in spite of the fact that he
was paralyzed in both hands and feet. He
was schoolmate Of the late Louis Jorgen-
son and was thoroughly educated, but
owing to his misfortune he was compelled
to depend for subsistence upon whatever
sympahzing friends gave him to do. l de-
sire to sincerely thank his benefactors in
his hour of need, especially those who were
instrumental in placing him in the hospital
and contributed to defray the expenses Of
the funeral. c. DUERsCHNER"

DEATH OF BRYAN SHANNESsY, ESQ.

II is with feelings of genuine sorrow that
we record the death of Bryan Shannessy,
ESQ, which took place ut his home, in this
city yesterday, about the hour Of II o'clock
A. N.
Squire Shannessy had been resident Of
the State of Illinois fora period of over forty
two years, over forty years of which time he
lived in Cairo, Hence, at the time Of his
death he was, indeed, and in verify, "the
oldest inhabitant During that long
period of time he had served the people in
different public capacities, having filed the
offices Of justice of the peace, county com
missioner, overseer Of the poor, alderman,
postmaster and police magistrate; and II
any man lives who can say that, in an official
capacity, Squire Shannessy wronged him
out Of one dollar, or one cent, We have no
personal knowledge of that man, and never
heard of him. No man is without his

Squire had his; but no man was
more prompt or scrupulonsly exact in
paying his debts; more liberal in his deal

hold upon his purse strings when appealed
to in the name Of charity. At death he
was nearing his 73rd year, having been
born in the year 1906.
Few citizens of Cairo are more widely
known than was Squire Shannessy, most
especially among the old residents OF South
ern Illinois, Southeast Missouri and West
ern Kentucky. Everywhere IN those seq
tons of the country the intelligence of Ills

THE ELECTION IN CAIRO IESTER-
DAY, AND IT'S RESULT

ia i, AN ~ VIII
The election yesterday was remarkable
for the absence Of feeling. Save when
stimulated thereto by several horns
ahead, no intelligent voter ventured single
"hurrah' for his favorite and the number
who resorted to the more effective method
of hard work in behalf of their ticket,
were exceedingly few End widely scattered.
The places Of voting wero readily distin'
guished by the squads Of colored voters
that remained on the grounds but among
these nor anywhere else was there any en-
thusasm.
The vote thrown was, by no means, full
one, as will be seen by the figures which We
give below.
The candidates for Sheriff worked like
Troans, and had u few friends at work for
them. Between the candidates for Coroner
and County Commissioner the contest was
less spirited. Apart from the service per
formed by these candidates and their few
active friends, the efforts expended for the
success of the Republican ticket, constituted
nearly all the work we saw performed du-
ring the day,
For the following figures, which may be
accepted as reliable, we are indebted TO the
kind offices of Mr.. c, N. Hughes, Capt, W.
NJ. Williams, Mr., VIM, McIIale, Alderman
Foley and Mr. G. Close, all of whom were
officers of the election

reeling across the street. he aimed terrific
blow at the big panes in Farnbakel's win
