The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1880-04-28


have under contemplation the project of
establishing a beer garden half way be.
tween Mound City and Cairo, across from
Goose Pond. The place is unquestionably
one of the most attractive and altogether
pleasant round about Cairo, it being mos
sy spot well supplied with tall
shade trees and free from weeds
and underowth. 1t is the object
of the gentlemen who have the project un-
der consideration to have the garden open
only on Sundays-thus afiording those Of
our people who choose to avail themselves
of it, an opportunity for pleasure and rec
reatlon. OF course, the garden once under
way, would speedily become very popular
and would be visited by many people from
this, city, who would patronize our livery
stables in order to reach the site, and this
being the case, we must pronounce it an af
fair which, when in running order, will"lay
over" almost anything and in which there
will be millions for the proprietors and
livery men of this city.
"A remarkable feature of the cyclone,
which did so much damage in Arkansas
and Missouri, is that it was accompanied by
a wave Of water This wave seems to have
followed the cyclone up all hills in its
course, but there is nothing showing that it
followed the cyclone down hills. Professor
lice, who went to Marshfed to investigate
the course and cause of the cyclone, says;
Everywhere along the track of the tornado,
there is evidence Of wave Of water flowing
in the rear in the cloud-spouts. At some
places there are only faint traces of such u
wave; at others, the debris is carried up
and over distractions of two or three feet
high. These waves, or currents, flowed in
greatest volumes up hills. There are places
where the entire top Of the soil is washed
away by the currents. Fibrous roots and
tufts of grass show their direction to have
been uphill, and what is significant from
all points of the compass towards the top of
the hill, where the tornado was raging at
the time and spent its force. No trace can
be found at any point where they flowed
down-hill."
--ltmay not have occurred to everybody,
and 1t may not be a very significant fact, but
fact it Is for all that that the political
Of our city council is decidedly
Democratic, In fact, unless we are great
ly in error, we have but two Republican
aldermen in the council the remaining eight
being Democratic. The Democrats are NJ.
j. Howley, from the First ward D. T. Line
gar and Majok Iinkle, from the Second
ward; E. A. Smith and B. F. Blake, from
the Third ward; A. Swoboda, from
the Fourth ward, and Z. B. Petit
and Thos. W. Halliday from the Fifth
ward Peter Saup, from the First ward and
G. 0. Patier from the Fourth ward are the
only Republicans Should it, however, turn
out that some Of the gentlemen whom we
have counted as Democrats are Republi-
cans, we will have no excuse to offer since
from their marked intelligence and gentle
manliness they would be takei for
nothing less than Democrats the |
world over. Concerning Messrs. |
oaup and Patier we have Lut this to say:
They are gentlemen who possess in no less
degree the same excellent qualities we
attribute to our Democratic members and |
tins being the case we shall at no time be
surprised to hear Of their being read out of
the Republican party.
