evening. Mr.. f. is said to be an enter
tanning talker, and is confidently expected
to be on hand. .H
From ten o'clock forward yesterday,
the rain tall was incessant, and at times
heavy and drenching. The weathcr-wise ac-
cepted it as the dividing line between warm
and cool weather--thc latter to obtrude it.
self tins morHing.
The manuscript of our valued Thebes
correspondent is uniformly subjected to
great delay in reaching our hands. The
BULLETIN, started on its journey for Thebes
on Monday evening or Tuesday morning,
reaches its destination Saturday This is
very vexatious all round
Should the weather be tolerable both
the circus and Alice Oates Pinafore per-
Torrance, tomorrow night, will draw ire
mendous crowds. Our people are furnished
the opportunity to see Pinaforc as it is
presented on the boards of the best thea
tiers of the country; or to see, for 95 cents,
the best circus and largest henagerie trav-
cling in the Northwest.
In his allusion to the Hogan trial,
published elsewhere, the editor Of the Muir
physboro Era gets the names of the at
torneys somewhat mixed. Mr.. Lingar as
sisted the defence, not the prosecution. The
name of Judge Green, who also assisted in
the defence, is omitted. States Attorney,
w. c. Mulkey was assisted by Judge Allen,
in the conduct of the prosecution.
There are thousand and one stories
sloat in Pulaski county in connection with
the Mecham assassination. One of the
latest is that Mrs. Mecham held the candle
while Howard blew her husbands brains
out. We have never entertained an exalted
opinion of the woman, but Of such blood
thirsty fiendishness as that we certainly
feel inclined to acqut her.
Later returns from Ohio only confirm
those given yesterday. The Democratic
party was subjected to the worst rout it has
suffered anywhere during the past ten
years. Thurman presidential stock has
been thrown out of the market, by the re-
suit, and Sherman stock appreciated fully a
hundred per cent For verify it looks as
if Sherman were the coming man.
The old roof to our job Office leaked
badly and we had new one put on in its
place. Now what we want most is the new
roof taken off and the old one replaced, as
the new one seems to have concentrated the
leaks in a place where it will do the most
harm and is provocative of the worst kind
of profanity on rainy day from everybody
connected with the establishment.
Stock sold at the Central Stock yards
of this city, command as good prices as are
paid in St. Louis, and within fraction of a
cent as much as is paid in Chicago. The
highest price paid in St. Louis, on Wednes-
day, was $2.62. ''Scallawags,' as inferior
cattle are called, commanded only sl.2j to
Sli0. Good butchers cattle sell in the
Cairo market as high as $2..j per hundred.
The regular weekly meeting Of the Re-
form club will be held this evening. with
the new president, Geoge S. Fisher, in the
chair. Fisher, though quite young man,
has been o most constant and effective
worker in the cause, giving to il more time
and labor than any man, old or young in
the city. He certainly deserves well Of the
club, and of everybody else who is in sym.
patty with the reform movement.
Such of our clothing merchants as
have laid in full fall and winter stocks are
disguised with the weather. Instead Of
the rush for warm clothing that they had
occasion to anticipate, they are supplying
demands for summer goods. Light cloth
: ing that was slowed away for the winter,
has been unlocked again, and customers who
want to provide for the winter, have not put
in an appearance. There is some consoIa-
ton in the thought, however, that such a
condition Of affairs can't last always
