Increased the amount of yearly saloon Ii
censes in order to raise more money for the
necessities of the municipal government.

stream, leaving the poor inhabitants no
alternative but to get astride Of a plank and
come to Cairo for refuge.
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, issued an
order the other day that all gambling
houses should close Saturday night at 7
o'clock. The object of this was not to
trouble the gamblers, but to protect the
wages of the working classes from the keno
