p's' sHot ou tHc Srouuu' Dr' TWhcT car
ried off the fifth prize, but inwhat scheme
we were not informed. The DR.. remained
in Peoria.
The is no perceptiblc thinning out OF
tide canine species, so far; but If the catch.
ers do no weary in we'll doing, their work
will tell after while. The destruction OF
even five hundred week will afford some
relief.
The City Marshal will proceed at once
to the empounding Of horses found run
ming at large. 1t will cost $3 per head,
and charge of twenty-five cents per day
for feed, to redeem impounded animals of
this species.
The Cairo City Mills will shut down
for a season to give force of mechanics
anopportunity co strengthen the foundation
of the building by the erection of brick
piers, etc.--a work that will probably con-
sumo several days.
The county Jail contains seven prison.
ers not large number; but they are held
to answer about as large an amount of
crime as any seven men ought to be held
responsible for. Their cases will probably
be disposed of next month.
Miss Hattie King, alias Black Hat
the female who manages to figure in the
police reports oftener than any other per
son in the city, returned to Cairo yesterday
from Paducah. She returns, we understand,
fully determined to enter upon long
career of good behavior.
Orders were issued by the city clerk,
yesterday, for the claims allowed Tuesday
night. The largest order, $74SG6, was
drawn by Dan Galligan in payment for ma
terial used and labor expended on the side
walks. The smallest order was rs cents
drayage of dead drunk to the calaboose.
One of our leading physicians inform
ed our reporter, yesterday, that during the
preceding day he received twenty-three
calls, and in every single case he gave,what
the patient needed of course, a prescrip.
ton for diarrhea. The ailment is not an
alarming one, but it is certainly remarkably
prevalent.
The large shipment of chickens tc
which we referred few days ago, is still
at the depot awaiting shipment. From
thirst, heat, hunger or some other cause
they are dying off so rapidly that the owner
will reach his destination with nothing
but empty coops, if he delays forward
movement much longer,
AT about'9 o'clock yesterday afternoon
patch of plastering came tumbling from
the ceiling in Miss Foss' school room, and
portions of it striking several of the pupils
quite panic was created. Some of the
little fellows, like the tabled "chickcn-lit-
tlc," were quite ready to believe it YER
table falling of the sky. Nobody hurt.
Parties to the Rittcnhousc- Linegar con-
tested election case for the possession of
that prize of high calling-a seat in the
city council-commcnccd yesterday. just
| when or where that kind of work will end,
if both parties set about it determinedly,
it is difficult to determine. 1t may involve
the examination of half the voters of the
ward.
And now the young folks have caught
the archery infection. Night before last 1t
was solemnly resolved by the misses of
from twelve to fifteen and boys Of like age,
to organize club, and the project was for
warded somewhat yesterday-enough to in
dictate stout resolve among
the youngsters that the glory of "centcr
shots" shall not be monopolized by the
grown folks.
If Justice Cunningham carries out his
purpose to run hack regularly from the
st. Charles via. the Planters, Arlington
and Eight street to Washington and thence
to the court house, charging s cents to tho
post.otiice and 10 cents to the court house,
he WILL in time, make money. Unless he
intends to give the undertaking at leas
two weeks trial, he shouldn't make sin
gle trip. Less than two weeks will tel
nothing.
Elsewhere we refer to the close of on
public schools and we give word Of prais
to our Cairo teachers, Of the principa
and his other assistants, who really CAV
tone and character to the school, we cal
say no less than that they have performed
their respective duties well, and to the gen
eral satisfaction Of our people. They hav
shown themselves Jealous workers, an
given 10 Cairo a school that is everywhcr
recognized as among the best Of tn
country.
