"A disease seems to have sprung up
among cows in this city which proves fatal
in nearly all cases. Quite a number of
them have died and been haud away aud
other carcasses are lying around in the
weeds back of the Mississippi levee Some
of those who have mysteriously lost COWS
may find an explanation of the mystery by
looking up the dead ones
The street committee, which met in
the council chamber Tuesday afternoon,
agreed to give the gravel, to be found up
the Cairo and Vincennes road, trial on
our streets. 1t is reported to be of good
quality and if found satisfactory, sufficient
amount will, at once be procured to cover
Eighth street. The committee decided to
place the gravel on the street without wet
ing for rock. All of which is wise under
the circumstances.
AS was seen from the names published
in yesterdays BULLETIN quite number of
our citizens have agreed to adopt the tele-
phone in their places Of busln' s and resi-
dences. 1t is desirable that as many people
should adopt it as possible, for the more
wires that are stretched the more extensive
will be the communication, and the greater
will be the benefit derived from the instru-
ment by all concerned.
-Barnum made Cairo lively Yesterday
all day and part of the night. His circus
came in from Centralia early in the morn
ing, and although the weather was bad the
town was full of people. There were pee
pie of all sizes, shapes, sexes and colors,
who came from III around us. The trs'r s
were all full, the transfer boats ditto, the
ferryboat was crowded at each trip, and
our streets were full of farmers wagons
loaded with produce and children. The
great Barnum took everything in, and no
doubt departed with snug sum OF money.
On last Friday Mr.. and Mrs Harry
Schultze boarded the Illinois Central train
for Jonesboro, taking their one'year-old
child with them. As the train neared the
station the child became uneasy, and Miss
Emma Lohr, who had accompanied the
family, picked up the child and tried to
quiet it by carrying it Up and down the
car in her arms. But as
she walked along she stumbled
over something in the isle, and in falling tc
the floor one of the chid's legs were broken
above the knee. 1t was not until the next
day that it was ascertained, end then Dr.
Wardner was at once sent for, who set the
limb. Mrs. Schultze is still in Jonesborc
with the child, and will rem ain there unit
the child Is entirely out of danger. W.
regret to hear of the accident, as will {
large circle of the family's friends,
; DIR. c. W. Dunning was sent for yes
tcrday by Dr. Bass, Of Ballard county, Ky.
to assist in the treatment OF Mr.. Grund,
Bryant, who is afflicted with hydrophobi
in its first stages. The case appears to b.
dangerous one, though some hopes ar
entertained for the patients recovery. Mr.
Bryant was bitten in the cheek some tire
weeks ago by dog that was fighting witt
his own dog, and with which he interfered
He Immediately applied maidstone, ant
the wound caused him no Inconvenience
until a few days ago, when he was takel
with spasms, and has since become worse
At the sight Of water he is thrown int
commissions, yet be in full possession Of hi
senses, and believes that he will liv
through the ordeal all right. DR.. Dunnin
had not returned yesterday evening, an
we have no advlccs as to the state OF MI
Bryant yesterday.
