The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-09-24

OF failures throughout the United States
and Canada, during last week, aggregate
1913, an increase of thirty over the record
for the preceding week. In the Middle
States there we're twenty-eight failures in
the New England States fifteen, in the
Southern States ten; in the Western States
twenty nine; in California and the terrific
rics six, and in Canada fifteen. 1t is sug-
gested that many Of the failures were
caused by inexperience and inadequate
capital, as most of them were Of traders
who started business within the past twelve
months and found it impossible to compete
with old established houses.
The Bloomington Bulletin says:
"Of all the partisan public journals of Hi
nois only two, within our knowledge, re-
fused to put on mourning-the Blooming
ton Paragraph and the Quincy Herald"
There is still another which we have reason
to believe finds its way to the exchange
table of the Bloomington Bulletin. We
refer to the Cairo Daily Argus, which, in so
far as giving any signs of grief at the sad
ending of the country's chief executive, is
concerned belongs to the Bloomington Pan
tagraph and Quincy Herald stripe of "public
journals" But perhaps the Bloomington
Bulletin doesn't consider the Cairo Argus
"public journal"
1t is cruel in the Paducah Enterprise
to administer such thrust as the follow
ing to the Cairo evening paper; "The petit
ton in Neff S house, corner Commercial
and Eighth, has been torn down and the
room will be 22x60 feet Cairo Argus.
Go tonight school, young man" We re-
peat, the Enterprise is cruel. The editor of
the Argus is fully aware of the difference
between "petition" and partition. He
knows that it is "petition" to shout,
enough" when you are downand the other
fellow fails to let up; and that partition is
something that one can avail himself
of to keep out of the
reach of the other fellow.
For several days past he has availed him
self OF the latter. He has enclosed himself
within an impennetrable wall of silence.
Mr.. Samuel Mcclure, one of Alexan-
der county's wealthy farmers, yesterday
brought down to Cairo one John Miller,
whom he charged with having stolen span
of horses and wagon from him (McClure)
some months ago. Miller was in MIR. Nc
Clure's employ at the time and took adj
vantage of the latter's absence, to drive
away with the team aforesaid He
left his wife in Jonesboro and
went TO small town in
Tennessee, where he doubtless intended to
farm for himself. A few days ago he came
up with one of the horses and rode to
Jonesboro to see his wife and while there
| Mr.. Mcclure heard of him and, with the
assistance of sheriff Rcndeman, arrested
him. Miller had preliminary examination
before Justice Robinson yesterday and was
held in bond to the amount Of five hundred
dollars. In default of bail he was sent to
the county bastile, where he will probably
languish until December. Mr.. Mcclure re-
covered the horse Miller was riding and
also got an order on the parties holding the
other horse and the wagon in Tennessee for
the same.
"A number of the members of the Hal
liday Guards met at their hall in the Hiber-
nian engine house last evening for the pur
pose of attending to some business of i'm
portance with reference to the funeral of
the late President James A. Garfield. To
decorate the hall was the first duty to
which those present applied themselves,
and to say that they did this work well is
hardly doing it Justice A large quantity
of mourning material was hastily arranged
around the walls OF the large room and the
chandeliers and pictures among the latter
one of the lamented president, were all
gracefully drapped in black and
white. Other business consisted
chiefly in making preparations
for marching through the streets of the
city on next Monday, in honor of the dead
commander-in-cbief of the United States
army. Orders to do this have been re-
ceived by Captain John Il. English from
the adjutant general at Springfield, who
has issued similar orders to all the MALTA
companies Of the state The company also
decided upon a line of march; but 1t desires
to confer with the various other
organizations in the city
and arrange with them the live OF march
for general turnout. The company has
also engaged brass band for the occasion.
