Last Friday morning an old white man
named j. Lewis, living IN Kentucky near
Vaudeville, where he has a son-in. law liv.
ing, came to Mr.. A. }. Carries livery stable
and engaged pony for the purpose of ia
king ride up in the county. He had been
in the habit of doing this nearly every few
weeks and Mr.. Garlic had the greatest con
fidcnce in him. Friday he said he would be
gone but few hours, But the entire day
passed, also Saturday and Sunday, and
yet the man did not return and
nothing was heard of him. On Monday
Mr.. Garlic sent his son Frank out after him,
who telegraphed from Cape Girardeau that
| the man had been seen about five miles be.
low there on that day, but further than
that nothing could be learned. Yesterday
| Mr.. earle himself started out to find the
man and pony, but up to late last evening
no further tidings had been received here
| 1t is not believed that Lewis who is an old
man about sixty years old and known as an
honest old man, has improperly made away
with the horse; it is rather believed that he
has been foully dealt with. He was not a
wealthy man and had nothing of much
value about his person when he left here.
But why he should have crossed the river
with the horse and continued
on to Cape Girardeau, as he
is said to have been seen to do,
| when he intended to use the horse but few
hours, is a circumstance which only tends to
make the mystery more mysterious.
The North American turner's union
has resolved as body to oppose sumptuary
laws, prOnouncing "every attack upon the
personal rights and individual liberty of an
American citizen as not only unwisc but
| unrepublican, and to the last degree dan
gerous and degrading to our form Of
government" The North American tur-
ners' union lie a strong body and this dec
laration Of principles is certainly vigorous
and plain. The instinct of liberty is, to
the credit of the Germans, always strong in
that race. The turner society of this city
which numbers among its members some
of the substantial men of the city, is not
defunct as many suppose. 1t is
in the full vigor of its existence
though it does not have its regular meet
ings for exercise. Its members are now
nearly all beyond the age In which the
rules of the organization require them to
participate in the physical exercises of the
organization. Some time ago the organ
izstion abandoned its hall and sold all its
accoutrementS to an organization OF young
Germans in this city, who made an attempt
to organize another society among them
selves and hold regular meetings to carry
out the principal aim of the society, physi-
cal development. But up to the present
time, it is to be regretted, they have
failed to accomplish their object and have
not effected an organization, 1t is prob
able that the activity to which the Union
has been aroused by the temperance ele-
ment in different parts Of the country, will
nfuse new life into all the local organiza
tons, and some interesting meetings may
be expected. In communities where the
turner's are formed into active socities, they
afford much entertainment to the public by
picnics, etc, at which exhibitions Of their
athletic accomplishments are 4 ven.
| There is no reason why Cairo
should not have an organi-
cation Of young men devoted to the
principles of the "ulrn .vcrein" and put
those principles to practical use
Last Sunday white man was brought
here from Missouri by the transfer steamer
w. b. Duncan, and from the moment of his
arrival until Tuesday when he was arrested
by Officers Tyler and Wins, he laid around
the lower portion of the city, in empty
freight cars and on and under sidewalks,
chewing old boot legs or anything else he
could get, aud shattering all manner Of
nonsense when approached by anyone. He
was undoubtedly helplessly derangod, and
he was also undoubtedly not entitled to
care from the authorities Of this city or
county. Chief Myers therefore very prop
erly compelled the boat which brought
him here to take him back to Missouri
where ne came from. But it seems that
the man laid around in the railroad yards
at Birds Point, just rs he had been doing
bore, and Tuesday he met with severe &C.
cident which may prove fatal lie must
have been SttiDg on the track and was
run over by freight train on the Iron
Mountain road, which nearly cut of one of
his feet and gave him bruises
