sufficient number of the members will be
present tonight to effect the reorganization
since important business will shortly come
before the department which needs their
early attention.
The meeting of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union was quite largely at

The successful candidates on the in
dependent ticket will, in few days, Shout
der their guns and make trip out in the
country, with the expectation Of returning
loaded down with game of all sorts. They
arc only now waiting for the return of Mr..
Pat Fitzgerald, who, it is believed, has
been lost in the woods of Kentucky, and
after whom q courier has been dispatched.
As soon as he Is found the party will start
accompanied by the defeated candidates,
whose duty it will be to pitch the tents,
kindle the fires, handle the pots and kettles,
carry water and make themselves other
wise useful.
Rev. Kone had another most interest.
ing meeting at Reform hall last night.
The audience was large and earnest, and
his words were duly appreciated. He
seems to be warming up to his work and
arousing some of our good people from
their long slumbers. The meeting last
night was, perhaps, the most interesting
one he has held in this city since his first
appearance, and he has reason to congrat-
ulate himself upon his success Eight
young ladies, three ladies, and two gentle
men, embraced the faith and were received
into his fold with appropriate ceremonies.
The meetings grow more entertaining as
they continue, and our people would DO
well to crowd the hall every evening.
Last night was made memorable to
many of our young people by the Cooking
Clubs ball that was given at Hartmans
hall. AS it was expected, me attendance
was large, composed chiefly OF our best
young people. The preparations for the
occasion were complete. The grand
room was brilliantly lighted and varl-
,usly decorated. Every convenience that
select crowd of pleasure seekers could de-
lire, was provided. Music was furnished
)y Mr.. Boicourt and his band, TO which in
pretty feet kept time until very
ate in the night That all were entirely
atisied with their nights fun cannot be
doubted, and the club deserves all the
praise it will receive for this, its first effort,
% furnish innocent and healthy amusement
or our young folks. At the present writ
NO we are unable to give the full particu-
ars which will however appear to.mor-
ow.
The cities below Cairo are greatly
lated over the effect that Eads jetties
AVE had on the commerce of the Mssis-
ippi Valley and the cities north Of Us, too,
re pleased 18th the result Since January
st St. Louis has shipped to Europe twice
s much grain by the way Of New Orleans,
S passed out of the country by that route
n the corresponding period Of last year
II present the shipments are limited by
gant Of barges with which to move the
rain, and feet of them are being built
0 supply this want, The crop to be moved
} so great this year that in
pite Of the increase in shipments by water
rom St. Louis the railroads eastward have
een doing an immense business at paying
ates. Oar western congressman, our
nember Mr.. Thomas included, will do
'ell to give this subject thorough inyesti

Orcibly present to he national Legislature
he great claims Of the west for appropria
ions, which are to lower the rates Of carry
