A young man from Vienna, apparent
ly ignorant of city life as a wild Zulu, came
to Cairo Monday with the avowed purpose
of a "high- old-time" After seeing all that
was moral, his appetite was sharp for the
opposite. The last den of vice that he
visited, was the notorious brick on the cor
ner of Fifth street and Commercial. There
| he became infatuated with two inmates, so
much so that he paid for their photographs,
also for their drinks and the story winds
UP in the old way. They all became
drunk. He found himself the next morn
ING in one of the rooms of the house, minus
$4,000, watch, revolver and accordeon'
He reported the above to the police, but
$50 far no clue has been found leading to
the detection of the thief who relieved him
of his money and valuables.
The rain of yesterday was delightful
laying the dust and completely changing 1t
to mud to be churned into mortar by pass
ing animals and vehicles 1t cooled the air
but not the temper of Bob, the driver OF
| Klen's butcher wagon, nor of John, the
manipulation of the rens that guide kluge 5
ponies IN the way they should go. Bob is a
dusky son of Ham, and John came from
over the Rhine. We do not know how or
where their trouble com menced, but their
wordy war lasted until they arrived on
Tenth street, near Cedar, where it culmi-
mated with Bob in the gutter and John sit
ting on him "just wearing HIM out" as a
bystander expressed it. 1t all ended with
Bob promising John that the little amuse-
ment shonld cost him fifty dollars. Chap
ter second may be looked for in the police
court notes tomorrow.
Cairo is about to have Union depot
for three or four railroads built in the rear
OF the St. Charles hotel on the site OF the
old United States sanitary commission or
soldiers home. How are the passengers,
strangers, and all others to come into town.
They must walk in counting the cars as
they come or drive through q narrow alley,
: part of the railroad strip. That is the pres
cnt prospect, and very poor one for max
Ing a favorable impression Of the city on
visitors. The levee is covered with rail
road tracks from Second to Fourth street
Commercial avenue will be in the same condi
. ton Second street has railroad track or
its full length There is but one remedy
and we here suggest it: make broac
street Of the railroad strip from Fourtl
street to its terminus. Will the city coun
Gil do this and in so doing do, we believe
} wise thingl We trust SO.
Some OF the young men OF the Roost

they might learn the minor military tactic
/ and practice for parade They claim the

as member who was under 81 or over 3
wears of age. However, on the evening @
j., the organization, they say, by some mean
Q unknown to them a gentleman "a years
c months, 3 weeks and days old, was az
pointed on the committee on permanent OF
gaulzation, and in the report Of the con
mittee the figures 80 were raised to 3.
furthermore the report provided that hol
" orary members, with all the privileges {
regular members, could be elected, no ma

u puts damper upon Capt. Barclay and h
licutenants.
