A day or two ago an item appeared in
THE BULLETIN in which it was stated that
the night police were practically under the
charge OF no onc--in fact were running
loose, without anyone to direct their move
ments, or in case of immcrgency to give
Instructions. In making this statement we
were in error. John p. Hogan is sergeant
of the night police, and in the absence of
Chief LaHue, has full control of the move
ments of the force. 1t may be further
stated that the officers on duty during the
night are required to report to the sergeant
at least three times, and at stated hours,
during the hours of duty.

up in the city Jail. On Monday morning
while Jailer Cain was attending the wants
OF the prisoners under his charge, Dunnell
slipped out and succeeded in making his es,
cape, though the Jailer sent several bullets
after him. On Monday evening case con-
tanning a dozen or more French harps was
stolen from Mr.. Dan. Hartman's store, and
the police have substantial reasons for be-

implicated in this second offense Dunnell

the time being at least, is givenup.

S. 4. WILSON,
besides dong large general commission
business, deals extensively in lemons,
oranges, cocoaputs, etc. His place of bust
ness is on Ohio Levee, near the corner Of
Eighth street and it is the only place where
such things can be at all times found. Mr..
Wilson is Il young man, who has, by strict
attention to business, fair dealing and low
prices, established for himself trade and a
reputation that is not confined to Southern
Illinois, and Of which any man might very
justly be proud. He is gentleman IN
every particular, and that he is shrewd
business man who watches the fluctuations
in the commercial world as they effect his
business and who profits by his past cXpe-
rcnce and allows his customers to do like
wise, is amply proven by the fattering re.
suits that have attended his efforts within
the last few years. To say that he deserves
to be eminently successful is only giving
expression to New Years wish that is felt
by all who know him and have had deal
ings with him.
HARRY WALKER,
another of our most liberal users OF prn-
.er's ink is proprietor Of the Crystal Sa-
loon" on the corner of Sixth street and
Commercial avenue, and is also proprietor
of the 'Theater Comique," right next door.
He is an energetic business man and one of
our oldest Cairoites. lie keeps one of the
finest billiard saloons in Cairo His stock
Of wines, liquors, cigars, etc, and oysters in
their season, is complete and unsurpassed
Some months ago'he conceived the idea
Of catering to the amusement loving people
of Cairo, by establishing the "rhcatel
| Comique' in connection with his saloon
The venture although started merely as ar
experiment, has, owing to the superiority
of the performances given, proved entirely
successful. When Mr.. Walker first con
ceived the idea of opening the Comique
the predictions that he would fail in his I'M
dertaking in week. we're numerous ant
heard the city over; but by the business
tact and energy which is Characteristic o
the man and by close and personal atten
ton to his affairs, Mr. Walker has proven
these rumors false and has further proven
that the ComiQue is living concern.

Why Submit to the Discomfort, and
humiliation entailed by local disease
of the skin, when GLENN's SULPHUR
SOAP will rid you of it with certainty
and despatch? 1t is remedy which
never fails to relieve cutaneous disease
and, as q means of banishing defects OF
the complexion, it is equally reliable.
The Benefits arising from the use of
Sulphur Baths, in cases of skin disease,
and of rheumatism and govt, are well
known, but the cost is too heavy to
be incurred by many persons who
would otherwise take advantage OF
them. GLENN'S SULPHUR Soar answers
the same purpose, and is both ineXpen-
sive and convenient. No one need stir
abroad III search of asulphur bath who
has this admirable means of provid-
ing one indoors. 1t is incomparably
the best deodorizer and disinfectant of
clothing and bed linen in use, and pre-
vents diseases of an obnoxious nature
caused by contact. Sores. ulcers,
bruises, sQalds, cuts, and sprains are
promptly remedied by it; and its clean
! ly, healing and soothing properties
constitute it far more desirable rene
dy for scorbutic ailment than ointment
Of any description, since such greasy
compounds soil the clothing, often ag"
gravate, and very rarely indeed do any
permanent good.

gests another valuable lesson, which is,
that the men who hold to the true demo-
cratic faith must be patient with weak
brethren and with brawling opponents.
1t is but little while ago that the green
back heresy, phantasy, and fallacy made
what appeared to be astrong front against
the democratic or constitutional doctrine
and the rights of the people. 1t appeared
to timid souls as if all the property of the
people was to be swept away in a financial
deluge, and that ruin would be entailed upon
US and our children for many generations.

ANOTHER CONVERT TO THE SILL
YER DOLLAR.

That the world moves and that some
men would rather be right than consistent
is shown in the conversion of the Ex-Sec-
rotary Of the U. s. treasury, the Hon.
Hugh McCulloch, from the republican
doctrine of monometalism to the demo
cratic theory Of the free coinage of silver
and gold. He has seen all his old theories
upset aud that universal bankruptcy and
ruin has not followed the restoration Of
the old historic silver dollar to the money
OF the country, but on the contrary that
the times have gradually improved and
that all national securities risen accord
lngly. The real wisdom that is to con-
tlnue this prosperity will be 10 regulating
the value between gold and silver SO that
relative and SO called legal value of the
TWO coins shall approximate each other as
closely as possible.

this changed position of the Elk. Secrstarv
says: -
