IS to be hoped that there Will never be
cause for its expenditure at this point and,
IN all probability our wish in that regard
will be verified.

j. T. Rennie, left for Terra Haute by yes
terday afternoons Illinois Central train,

we regret his departure.
The Bloomington Daily Paragraph
contains the following; "Mr Oberly is
being entertained by Mrs. Matt Scott. He
will bring his family here about the time
the new daily appears and is looking out
now for suitable residence. Mrs. Oberly
is said to be charming lady Of rare intel
lectual endowments. She is a Baptist, is
very plain in dress, and not much given to
society affairs. The family consists of seven
daughters, ranging from young ladyhood to
babyhood John himself is the only boy
in the family"
A large crowd gathered at Temperance
hall last night, to take part in the sociable
and dance given under the auspices of the
Temperance Club At the proper time
the ladies of the club spread splendid
lunch OF which everybody partook heartily.
Dancing commenced at the usual hour and
ended at the usual hour. There was
no limit to the fun, and everybody entered
into the amusements of the hour with a
vim. None can say that the means of
enjoyment were not ample and of a char
acter which insured general interest.
Tony Denier's Pantomime and Speci-
atty company will visit Cairo Friday and
give one performance at the Atheneum, in
the evening. THIS is what the st. Louis
Republican says of their performance IN
that city: TONY Deniers Pantomime and
Speciality company opened season at the
Olympic theatre on Sunday night to full
attendance. The entertainment is called
"Tickled or Humpty Dumpty Re.hatched."
| 1t is q novel medly of dumb show, mechan-
ical tricks, acrobatic and musical,
singing and dancing novelties, with
occasional glimpses of spectacular. 1t is a
lively potpourri performance in three acts,
full OF variety and merriment, and is an
agreeable change from the old style pan
tomime. The pantomime performers
proper are good, the feature being Geo. H.
Adams, who is the funniest trick clown IN
the country. The newly-hatched "Humpty
Dumpty" made hit with the audience of
Sunday night, and promises to entertain
large audiences at every performance OF the
week. The children will have q chance
to laugh heartily at it, Thursday matinee
and night.
Mr.. Frank Petit has recently made
several inventions that are by no means to
be made light of. One of them is thrible
water cutoff on which he, not long ago,
received patent. 1t is a very simple and
practical affair and the only invention of its
kind in existence. Beside this, he has
patent on double water cutoff, which is
also recent invention and pronounced
superior to most Others by experienced tin
ners. He is now engaged in manufactur.
ing waterboiler for saloons, which may
be set upon the stove and is both practical
and handsome. 1t is made of highly
polished copper and is adorned in various
way. water and steam gauge in front
shows how much water the boiler contains,
as well as how hct it is and many other
arrangements tend to make it very useful
to bars where any manner of hot drinks
are sold. Some idea of its beauty may be
obtained when we mention that, with all the
adornments, it cannot be sold for less than
forty dollars, while plain one can be sold
for three dollars. No patent has yet been
obtained on the invention.
In our search for news yesterday even
ing we were lead to the hall of the Temper
ance club on Tenth street and, prompted by
a lively interest in the organization, we en-
tered and were struck by the pleasant ap.
pearance of the place. The members of
the club have transformed the rough walled
room, into an attractive place, where
everybody may 90 and feel at home aud be
entertained any time during the day. The
room is furnished with several tables, desk,
an organ and number of chairs for the
