DIR. REYNOLDS THIRD NIGHT IN
CAIRO.

TALKs BY SEVERAL CITIZENS, AND Az HOUR
SPEECH FROM DIR. REYNOLDS.
The crowd that turned out to hear Dr.
Reynolds, last night, was the largest that
ever assembled in the Reform club hall.
Before introducing the first speaker
President Barclay remarked that he noticed
most gratifying evidence that the interest
in the temperance cause in Cairo was not
dying out On the contrary, the leaven
that had been set during the past day or
two was doing a noble work. As an in
stance he referred to an uptown saloon
where, on Thursday night last, as many as
twenty young men had gathered and were
passing the night in drinking and card
playing. Last night, at 10 O'Clock, the man
who happened to be passing that saloon
saw but one man, that man was the propri-
etor and he was shutting up shop. From
this circumstance could be argued the effect
the present effort was having upon the pub
lie mind, and especially upon the young
men who frequent oursaloons.
Mr. Chas. Pink was next introduced, and
regretted much that he did not possess the
eloquence of Webster, Clay, a PrentisS
or a-Reynolds, that he might move men
and women to jealous, enthusiastic effort
in the cause of temperance. His whole
heart was in the work. He whould have
the fathers and mothers of this generation
inculcate in their children zeal for the
cause and an adherence for the curse of
drunkenness. He would have the young
thus educated from generation to generation
until we could proudly boast of country
entirely free from the blighting effects of in
temperance Mr.. Pink continued in very
earnest manner for five or ten minutes
when DR.. Dunningw was brought to the plat
form.
The Doctor said that the reform club
had heard him so often that he feared the
application to his case of the adage that
familiarity breeds contempt" He said
that when he first engaged in the cause and
accepted the presidency of the club, many
Of his friends admonished him that, looking
at the matter from a business standpoint,
he was pursuing an impoltic course but as
he had, as well in the study as in the pur.
suit of his profession, been schooled TO a
full knowledge of the damning and de-
moralizing effect of liquor drinking, he felt
impcllcd, as if to the discharge of great
and pressing duty, to throw his influence
to the help of the temperance reform. let

arrest them, when both OF the bclligcrcnts
turned upon Hogan, and swore that they'd
"be - if they didn't arrest him." Alder
man Yocum attempted to assist, but was 50
mcnaced by third rufian, that he deemed
it advisable to wait for recruits. Mean
while one of the trio secured n bludgcon
with which he threatened Hogan, but the
sight of revolver had the effect
of esscning the violence Of the
demonstration. About this time Il
number of citizens, including a policeman
or two arrived on the ground, when all three
of the unruly fellows were marched of to
the calaboose. Other rutfians who have Il
pcnchant for bullying officers of the law
would have drawn useful lesson from the
fact, had officer Hogan furnished subject
for the coroner, when the brawny briiser
menaced him with the bludgeon.
The editor of the Carbonate Free
Press doesn't endorse the suggestion Of our
correspondent Cosmos that the wrath OF
temperance reformers be withdrawn from
the whisky maker and seller and rained
down upon the head of the whisky
drinker The Free Press says ::
"When a man has forsaken family and
friends for the purpose Of gratifying an
appetite, the whippng-post has no terrors
for him. There are, we think, but two
remedies namely moral suasion and con-
finement and medical treatment at public
expense. Any one who has lifted the sable
curtain that enshrouds the drunkards life,
and witnessed the sufferings, the misery
that words cannot utter, will shrink in hor-
ror at the mention OF the whipping post as
Il remedial agent. Moral suasion, backed
by answering vigor in carrying stern leg
islation relative TO the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic liquors, is just what is
needed. Let temperance people continue
increasingly their labors of love. We have
good temperance laws--let them be en-
forced. We ought to have better -prohib-
itory laws, if necessary. Moral suasion and
legislation will, in time, do the work"

A wElI-GR0USDED COMPLAINT AND PRO-
TEST, AND FEW REMARKS THEREON.


TEST, AND PEw REMARKS THEREON.
EDITOR BULLETIN A neat little card is
now being offered the citizens OF Cairo, in
the shape of an admission ticket" to the
Evelyn Spyer entertainment, but which will
cost the investor just ONE DOLLAR apiece.
Now, it does seem to me that with the
depression in business, and the hard times
the people are undergoing, that to be called
upon to pay any such price for an even
ings entertainment is simply an OUTRAGE,
(even though it be to hear a prodigy and
should be regarded by our citizens as such.
As young man working on salary,
and feeling the worth OF dollar, do not
feel justified in paying this amount, espec-
tally when it will require an extra ticket for
company. This is no particular case, but |

wife Eeaass.

AT about IL o'clock last night, persons 1iv-
ing III 1.-THE upper and western portion of town,
were disturbed by the plaintive outcries of a
woman and child, and the sound as if some
one was striking another with a board. One
ortwo men fastened to the spot to discover
what the matter was. On investigation it was
found that a man, whose name we omit, was
severely beating his wife. Such things might
have done, perhaps, before the time of Black
stone, but in this civilized age, the man-rath-
er the person-who thus whips a helpless wo-
man, deserves, in the first place, a few days in
the cooler aud then something more. Several
citizens have deter niuel, if the thing again
occurs, to give the mar a punishment, which
may make him more gentle.
