representative men of the community should
and doubtless will, all be there.
"A case of shoes, which was missed
some days ago by Messrs. Haythorn& Sloo,
and thoughiby them to be stolen, and look
ed for by the police force all over the city,
has been found. 1t appears that Mr.. Hay
thorn had it stored away without Mr..
Sloo's knowledge, and left the city with
out telling where it was. Mr.. Sloo missed
it, thought it stolen and put Chief Myers
on the scent.
Important changes and improvements
are in progress in connection with the
Theatre Comique. Mr.. Harry Walker has
concluded to vacate the corner house and
to transfer his saloon into the front end of
the theatre building, SO as to run both in
the same place Carpenters and other
mechanics are already at work preparing the
theatre building for the change, which will
probably be affected within week.
1.-THE Cairo authorities or the governor
of Illinois, says the Paducah News,
SHOULD offer a reward for the arrest of
Maytield, who shot and killed Mr.. James
Biggs at Cairo last Saturday night. 1t is
folly for Illinoisians to talk about Ken.
lucky murders when such murder as the
one spoken of can be committed, and no
extra exertions made by the authorities of
the city or state to arrest the murderer and
bring him to punishment" The News is
right, some steps of this kind should be
taken and that too, by the state. The mat
ter should be brought to the governors no.

Forty nine feet ten inches is what the
Ohio river marked on the gusge here yes

all points above. At Cincinnati it showed

vile the rivers fell two feet, and eleven
inches, respectively. The Mississippi river

The public generally and the ladies in
particular, are informed that wide.wake
dry goods store of j. Burger is again
prepared to co business at the
we'll known business house, on Commercial
avenue. The house, always one of the
handsomest, best stocked and most popular
in the city, has been renovated and the
stock has been re-arranged and added to
where it was found lacking until it COM
prises everything new AMI desirable in the
dry goods line. A full line of oil cloths,
mattings and carpets, of good qualities and
latest pattern, is also on exhibition and for
sale at prices rs low as the market will
permit. The establishment will be
pleased to see their many patrons and will |
insure them the best of attention and salts

Until now it is impossible to deter
mine even approximately what the cost of
the city's fight with the recent food has
been, but the TAX payers may rest assured
that it was not a small amount Not less
than eighty thousand feet of lumber were
used for bukheading aud about forty thou
sand sacks were used by the city alone
besides these there were the great number
OF implements, such as shovels, axes, hatch
cts, monkey wrenches wheelbarrows, nails,
ETC., many Of which were taken away by the
laborers and will be lost to the city. To
the cost of all these must be added the
total amount Of the daily pay roll and then
the grand total will appear. Up to several
days ago the amount paid out by Col. Tay-
Tor for the Property Company was about
five thousand dollars; the city's expenses
may reach twice or three times that. But
there should be no complaint. There is
many city and town above and below US,
which would have been glad to expend
twenty-five thousand dollars to escape as
Cairo has escaped.
