The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-10-19

pa'chctier " LOFTS circus charged 90 cent
admission In Charleston and only 20 cen 4
in Cairo9 We do not know that we car
solve the problem. Probably the agen
concluden that Charleston could not furnish
enough people to cover expenses, at Q,
cents; and that Cairo could. We car
conceive Of no other reason, unless it exis
in the fact that the agent concluded that
he was adjusting his Cairo prices to the size
of Cairo purses.
The Paducah fair was an unexpected
success, this year; and at the urgent reques,
OF the multitude of people present, it was
prolonged one day beyond the advertised
time, closing yesterday evening, instead OF
Friday evening Parties who attended
from tins city, speak in the highest terms
of the exhibition, and more especially OF
the stock department. The show of horses
is said to have been the finest ever seen In
this region Of country. The management
was spoken Of as sensible, liberal and
judiclous, and is credited with tair that
will bear repetition, even ten years hence.
The crowd at the circus, yesterday af-
ternoon, was the largest we ever saw any
where at ar afternoon performance. It is
estimated that over three thousand people
were present At night the immense can
vass, which the posters say, seats eight
thousand people (but which will not seat
over 5000 was jammed and crammed full.
With the exception of the crowd
that waited on Bill Lake, when extra seats
brought the multitude directly up to the
ring ropes, and when William ill-naturedly
remarked that he "never did visit this id
town unless he lost money'-with tn ex-
ception of that crowd, Batcheller g. Doris
had the largest that ever witnessed circus
performance in Cairo, And everybody was
pleased, too, with what they saw. The
gymnastic performances of the three
boys-the Seigrist brothers-were sim.
ply wonderful-far excelling anything
of like character ever achieved by adults.
The ushers, too, were courteous, and we can
scarcely think that anybody left the can
vas dissatisfied with either the show or the
management.
The alarm sounded at about 0 o'clock,
last night, was to give notice of the out
break of a fire in Koehler's sausage factory.
Before the bells sounded, however, the
whole building appeared to be completely
enveloped in flames. BY the time assistance
arrived, the fire had communicated to the
dwelling house of Messrs. Z. II. and f. w.
Thieleckc, who, with their mother, were oc-
cupying It, Mr.. Z. II. Thielecke, who is
foreman of THE BULLETIN news room, was
among the first to arrive on the ground. The
neighbors were at the circus or elsewhere,
so that there was no help on the ground to
save any of the contents of either building.
Mrs Thleleckc succeeded in throwing some
bedding out of the house, but it subse.
quently caught fire and was destroyed. The
flames, famed by strong wind, spread
with feaful rapidly to Thielecke's and
koehler's barns, which, with the factory
and dwelling, and all Of the contents of all
Of them, were burned to ashes. Mr..
hoehIcr, we understand, was in.
'ured. The amount of his loss above
his insurance, we did not hear
.Shmated. The loss to the Messrs.
falls with crushing effect. The
'ayings Of years went with their home and
IS contents. They had paid the last hun.
ITed dollars on the property only last week.
The house had Just been plastered and car
1etcd and made comfortable for the winter,
'hd ltSSaS their purpose to apply their next
'Arnings to the procurement of insurance.
}ut now everything is gone-Mr. +. II. |
lhlelecke being left without coat to his
back, and the balance of the family were
'quaAy unfortunate. How the fire origi-
lated we could NOT, with any degree OF Ger.
ainty, ascertain.
We don't know that the information
would be Of any service to anybody il the
births and deaths were reported as the law
'eQuircs; but since the law docs require
nat such reports shall be made, and names
penalty for neglect, our physicians and !
nidwives are Liable to prosecution, at any
mc for the manner in which they fail TO |
observe the law. For instance, there is !
scarcely a neighborhood in the county
where the local physician is not able 10
'ount up as many rs seven births during

orms the sum total reported for the whole
county. Two pairs Of twins are accorded to
