DR. William Wood. Alexander &C

DIR. William Wood, Alexander county's
worthy overSeer of the poor, is Angry. He
is very angry at THE BULLETIN, because,
he said, THE BULLETIN abused him wrong
fully. The doctor is good physician and
an educated gentleman; he has served the
county for many years in the capacity Of
overseer of the poor and county physician
combined, and the fact that he has held
the office 80 long gives ground for the be-
lief that he has generally served the county
well. But the doctor is human, and there
fore liable to err, just as common people,
who do not glory in distinguishing title
and a public Office with the princely
salary of $1,000 per month, sometimes do;
therefore, il is not strange that he did err
a few days ago in his treatment of the
woman, referred to in Saturdays BULLETIN.
But he denies that he erred, and, with all
the fluency and eloquence of born orator,
coupled with his experience of years as a
physician and county officer, he declares
that he did his duty in the premises, and
what is worse-.abuses THE BULLETIN
for differing with him. The BULLETIN
takes the doctors unjust abuse calmly; it
processes to be the doctors friend, and it
knows that the doctors wrath is but mo-
mentary and that, at heart, the doctor is
inclined to be friendly toward The BULIE-
TIN, which, even in his fercely eloquent
trade, he admitted to be the only respectable
paper In the city. But let us reason to-
gether. THE BULLETIN said in SATURDAYS
issue that it was the duty of the doctor as
county overseer of the poor and as ply
scian to 60 and see tho woman at once,
have her Immediately conveyed to the
hospital and give her whatever medical at
tention she needed at the countys expense,
and that the doctor neglected his duty be-
cause he did not do any Of these things.
The doctor does not deny this; he admits
that The BULLETIN stated his duties cor
rectly, and he admits that he did not do
what THE BULLETIN said he did not do.
Heigoes further than that. He denies the
statement made in Sundays BULLETIN,
that the doctors illness twas a good
enough excuse for not attending to the case
himself" and asserts that his own Hines
was NOT an excuse for not attending to the
woman himself. And yet, after admitting
all that TnE BULLETIN charged and even
resigning oil claims to the extenuating cir
cumstances admitted by THE BULLETIN to
have been in his favor, he charges THE Bull
IErrN with having wrongfully abused him

The water in the wabash river CONT,

The water in the Wabash river contin-
ues to rise steadily. The banks no longer
contain the water, the bottom-lands on the
west side being covered with water to the
depth of several feet. The steam-mills in
the Town of Chauncey and the Novelty
Machine Works have been compelled to
shut down. the water driving them out. A
portion of the roadway leading from Lafay-
cite, Ind. to Chauncey, small town on the
opposite bank of the river, is under water,
and all communication is by means of skiffs.
This proved a serious inconvenience to the
country folks, many of whom were unable
to get to this city to do their Christmas
trading. A lad attempting to ride across
the levee got into deep water, and only
saved himself by clinging to the horse,
which swan out. August Minnich's team
ran off the levee bank, and one horse and
the wagon were lost.

The many country papers in Southern
Illinois are sugar'coating Representative J..
II. Thomas all over because he spent year
in the far west; because he remained at
Washington during the late presidents i'll
ness; because he is so healthy and robust /;
because he wears good clothes and an
empty pocket-book, and because he recent
ly introduced thirty-fve or forty-three bills
(some say the first number, and others the
second) in the federal house of represen-
tatives. In what way any Of these things
enhance Mr.. Thomas value as a represen-
tative in congress it is very difficult to
understand 1t is plain, however, that the
editors of these little papers are enamored
of Mr.. Thomas, and that in their blind,
unreasoning affection for him, they over
look, or transform into virtues, all his faults
and grow eloquent in praise of him where
he deserves no praise at all.

"A serious runaway nearly took place
on Commercial avenue, near Seventeenth
street, yesterday afternoon. A colored man
was driving somewhat spirited horse,
hitched to buggy up the avenue, and
when at the point named a white urchin,
who had not yet gotten over celebrating
Christmas, threw a burning fire-cracker
across the street, which exploded just after
it passed over the horses back. The ami
NAL sprang to one side at first and nearly
upset the buggy, causing the driver to let

then the horse took sudden lunge for
ward which righted the vehicle and enabled
the driver to again catch up the reins and,
after some distance had been passed over,

no damage was done.

AT Mt. Carmel, Ill.,. several deaths from
small -pox having occurred, the mayor or.
dered that services in all the churches be
stopped. One church refused to recognize
the order and held festival. The mayor
.thereupon telegraphed for advice to the
state board of health, which instructed him
to compel obedience to his order by force
if necessary, and to call for state militia to
aid him in case the ordinary officers were
powerless. They also instructed him tc
have every person who attended the festival
vaccinated. This incident illustrates the
activity of the state board in stopping the
scourge, and also their apprehensions that
IL will become epidemic.
