The temperance meeting which was
conducted at the Reform hall by the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
last night, was full Of interest. The
night being pleasant one the
attendance was quite large the hall be-
ing nearly filled with ladies and gentle
men. A very entertaining composition was
well read by Amy Wilson, and several
gentlemen made short speeches-the most
telling one which was the speech of Rev.
George The meeting adjourned at about
8 o'clock.
There was never but one man who
committed no fault and he so far forgot
himself as to turn water into wine at we'd
ding. Ever since then men have been in
the habit of getting drunk and among
those who have acquired the habit may be
named one Henderson Schember, who was
yesterday found in booty condition by
Officers Woeten and Tyler and taken in.
Justice Robinson, although kind hearted
man, refused to listen to his 'pleadngS and
excuses and fined him one dollar and costs
which he didn't pay.
The Metropolis Democrat says that
Capt. J. H. Newman has retired from the
| Champion, and that the steamer Is now
owned by a stock company, composed OF
Capt. John A. Bruner, A. j. Bird, Hunter,
Ben. Jenkins and ]. n. Skunk, 1t is I'M
derstood that $4,000 of the stock is owned
at Cape Glrardeau, Mo-. Other points
along the river taking stock sufficient to
swell the capital stock of the company TO
100000 The change we think will work
well and assures regular St. LOUIS packet,
which is and will continue to be a great
convenience to our citizens. Success to the
Champion and her officers, say We.
For the benefit of poor people, we
mention the fact that dangerous SEQ
counterfeit United States treasury note has
made its appearance in Southern Illinois.
1t presents a remarkably good appearance
at first sight, but will not bear 'close ex-
animation. 1t was the opinion at first that
il was all pen and ink work, but as a num-
Der of these counterfeits have appeared, ii
is thought that the outlines are photo
graphed in some manner, and the notes fin
ished with pen The notes are signed John
Allison, register, and John c. New, treas
urer. A close examination of the note will
reveal its character. 1t is only dangerous
because the issue has not heretofore been
counterfeitel, and the public are only in
the habit of looking at the denomination Of
the issue of this series
The announcement of Mr.. Geo. +
Olmsted, for police magistrate, appears il
another place in this issue Of The BuLLE
TIN. We can say nothing whatever, eithej
against or in favor of the man that every
voter does not know. He has lived among
us quite number Of year
and has so far succeeded il
gaining the confidence OF the people
that they have entrusted him with very i'm
portant public duties which he has faith
fully and satisfactorily discharged, No on
can say that he is undeserving OF the ofic
he seeks or that he is incapa
BILE Of discharging its duties, for he i
known to be honest, honorable and to pos
sess more than average intelligence. W
believe hlm to be as good a man as coul,
possibly be chosen to fill the place
