The temperance people met at Reform
hall last evening and transacted some bust
ness of minor importance. The meeting
was well attended and quite interesting,
Mr. Ben Lynch was robbed of two
fine coats night before last by some one
who cut the screen out of the window OF
his sleeping room and entered it. There is
no clue to the burglar.
The Ohio river fell quarter of foot
during yesterday. 1t was twenty-five and
quarter feet above low water mark in the
morning at eight o'clock and twenty
feet even IN the evening, at six o'clock.
Some interest was excited last evening
among pedestrians aud others, who passed
the commons on the west side of Washing
ton avenue, above Fourteenth street, by
an attempt made by Mcssrs. Moses Foss,
Ford and Frazier to break young horse,
belonging to the latter The horse was
hitched to small two.wheeed cart, which
he flung around quite lively at times.
Some OF the telephone wires crossing
Washington avenue have been cut in order
to permit Mr.. Louis Herbert's house, which
Is being moved to Fourteenth street to
pass. This again suggests forcibly the nc
cessity of having larger poles for the wires.
This, we understand is about to be done
and when this is done the people of Cairo
may expect aperfect system and not before.
AT the meeting Of the Knights of the
Golden Rule at Odd Fellows hall few

day, secretary; P.E. Barclay, herald; A.
Black, treasurer; Joseph Lavender, warden
/. j. Kerth, sentinel.
Another evil effect of the presence of
the comet, or of the resignation of Conk-
ling was the loss Of twenty dollars yester-
day by Mr.. S. B. Penn. He drew two
twenty dollar bills from his vest pocket
on the corner of some street and hand
ed one to some one to take out five
dollars the other bill he thinks he placed
in his pocket, but upon searching he found
it not, and can not tell where 1t went to.

The Womans Christian Temperance
Union met at Reform hall on Thursday
afternoon. The attendance was very good.
Chief among the business transacted was
the adoption of IA motion to the effect that
the association decorate the Tenth street
stand and on the Fourth of July
furnish the thousands OF strangers in the
city who may wish it, cool water and lem
onad free of charge, That the resolution
is good one and will be appreciated by
the many visitors thirsty visitors as they
will surely be, cannot be denied. The few
dollars that it will take to carry out sue.
cessfully this idea will be gladly
contributed by the members of the
because it will not
only be blessing to the multitude, but
also, to great extent serve the great pur-
pose of the organization.
"A gentleman from Pulaski county
came down short time ago and told Mrs.
Mccarthy that he had fine milk COW for
sale. She offered to purchase the COW and
old him to bring her down the next time
