Might before last Officers Hogan aud
bunker heard vigorous blowing of a
police whistle and, tracing it up, found it
in the hands of an intoxicated woman-a
hired girl-who was wandering about the
streets in n helpless condition. She stat
ed that her "felow" had first beautifully
supplied her with liquor and then left her
and she had blown the whistle in order to
put the officers onto his track. She was
taken to her home by the knights of the
Star, but not without great difficulty.
The system OF steam pipes for heating
the Halliday house from the basement to
the top floor will be completed to-day, but
the plastering will probably not be finished
| until next April. When the house is open
ed to the public it will be one of the finest
and completest in the west, possessing all
the latest appliances for the comfort
and general convenience Of the travelling
public as well as regular boarders, and
will be conducted in style that will rival
the grandest institution of its kind in the
country.
1t is estimated that during the present
winter not less than ten car loads of coal
were stolen from the cars in the Illinois
Central yards and the officials,
with view Of stopping the
thievery, have concluded to vigorously
prosecute all offenders. The last person
caught in the act of stealing coal is a negro
boy, named William Brown. He was cap
tured by Monroe Wooten and Yesterday
brought before Squire Osborn, for hearing,
who bound him over in the sum of fifty
dollars The father of the boy giving bond
for his appearance, he was released.
The English language is twisted into
all imaginable shapes nowadays. For in
stance one of our southern exchanges says:
ATLANTA now runs through sleepers to both
Louisville and Cincinnati" Taken literally,
this would be the whole city Of Atlanta
tearing through the air and pass
ing through every sleeping thing
between its present locality and the
two cities mentioned And that would be
a spectacle indeed. The sentence, how
ever, means only that cars for sleepers
now run from Atlanta TO Louisville and
Cincinnati. Through" is an adjective
nowhere but in railroad news.
Here is the way the republican organs
choke off the colored voters of their party
when they demand Office. Says the stalwart
St. Louis Globe-Dcmocrat: "The colored
men who are urging the claims Of Mr..
Langston, Mr.. Fred Douglas or anybody
else to a cabinet office, solely on account Of
his color are violating the spirit, if not the
letter, of the civil rights bill, and may be
prosecuted the first thing they know. That
law forbids all distinctions on account of
race or color, in certain specified matters,
ofiiceholdng among the rest, and to urge
that man should lave an Office because
he is black is to discriminate against the
white race
Since Mr.. Oberly appears to be taking
nearly everything out of The Bulletin
Office to Bloomington with him. the ques
ton has been raised AS to what will be left
to continue the publication Of The BUI.LE
TIN wth.-News,
We appreciate the difficulty when we
undertake to reach the understanding Of
the editor Of the News, through a skull
which rivals in thickness that Of his
ancestors, who disputed with the cave bear
in prehistoric times for the possession OF
his cave.home, but we will make the at
tempt--even if it is time wasted: First
then, Mr.. OberIy took his house
hold furniture to Bloomington.
Second, He bought the mate
rial and press OF the Office OF A. j.
Alden & Son, which had been stored in
room in The BULLETIN building. Third:
He took the Cairo City bindery which had
never been part Of THE BULLETIN, but
was under the control Of A. w. Pyatt, who
proposes to replace it with new one. The
editor Of the News might be able to say
what the effect of these removals would
have upon the future publication of The
BULLETIN. Further, The BULLETIN office
contained two steam power, cylindar press
es either one Of which was capable of print
ing the Cairo Weekly News-whole edi-
ton, both sides at once, in less time than
fifteen minutes. One Of these presses had
been used, like the old hand press of the
News, only to run off the edition of The
BULLETIN, while the other was held in re-
