start iroth herc ior hcu Duu taxing on all
the employees and their families and such
of their friends as they invite, between here
and that point, and will be met
there by like train from East
st. Louis. The Cairo party has made
arrangements with Mr.. Harry Walker by
which Prof. AL Goss' cornet band is to
attend the excursion from this end of the
line. The East st. Louis people have
also made arrangements for tho presence
of celebrated st. Louis brass band. The
two bands will of course, each seek to out
play the other and we feel safe in betting
that Prof. Goss and his band will take
the cake"
"A country man came over from Mis-
souri, or Kentucky yesterday, bringing with
him calf which he sold, and promised to
deliver, to Mr.. Fred Koeher. Subsequent.
", before he had delivered the calf to Mr..
Koehler or received any money therefor,
finding that he must make haste or be left
by the ferry boat, he sold the calf to Messrs.
Hinkle & Son, delivered it, received ten
dollars cash, and then left. Messrs.
Hlnkle 81 Son had the animal taken
to their slaughter house and killed
and dressed ready for the market, all uncon-
cious of what awaited them IN the near
future. Mr., Fred Koehler learned that the
granger had "gone back on him." and, be-
ing determined not to be thus beaten out
of what he had bought, he swore out q
writ Of replevin aud got possession Of the
dead {. Messrs. Hinkle then also swore
out a writ of rcplevin and again took pos
session of the calf and have it now on SALE
A suit will be the result of it, of course.
"A dispatch from Columbus KY,
under date of August 10th says "Mr.
Albert Lower, formerly a TRAVELLING sales
man for DR.. j. H. Mclean Of st. Louis,
and we'll known in that city, and half
brother to ]. d. Roberts, druggist of this
city, was murdered here by some unknown
parties last night. Mr.. Roberts was alb
sent, leaving his house in charge of Lowell
who slept in room in the rear of the
drug store This morning Roberts house
keeper called at the store at an early hour
and found Lowell dead on the floor in his
night clothes. The thieves had entered
tho house from back door in room still
in the rear of Lowel's bedroom, robbed the
cash drawers and took two or three pistols,
and the circumstances indicate that in
their attempt to leave the honse Lowell
detected their presence, sprang from his
bed, and in his attempt to prevent their
escape, was shot dead. The ball entering
the left side Of his neck, passed through
the spinal column, fractured the vertebra,
made its exit from the right side of the neck
and lodged in wardrobe. Mr. Lowell at the
time of this tragedy was travelling for
Messrs Glover & Nichols, druggists of
Detroit, Much excitement prevails here
over the sad affair Mr.. Lowell leaves a
wife and two small children. No clew to
the murderers and thieves as yet, but ac-
tave efforts will be taken TO bring them to
Justice.
There is no end of monopoles here
The telegraph, which, in England, is as
free to all as are the mails, is monopoly
here; railroad monopolies discriminate as
they please; telephone monopoles, mining
monopolies, qulnine monopolies newspaper
monopolies, oil monopolies, monopolies in
short, of every kind abound, and now
another is threatened on an article in COM
mon use. The telegraph announces that
the wholesale grocers of Philadelphia have
Just been served with notice that the
price Of matches will be raised henceforth
from % cents to 81 80 per gross, according
to quality, and the likelihood IS that
grocers of other cities will soon receive
similar notification A great stock compa.
ny has been formed representing 90 man
usacturers with capital Of 100000 and
this stock company proposes to furnish the
country with matches at its own figures.
A congressional act in regard to the stamps
ON matches was hoped for to relieve the
country ofthe monopoly, by making COM
petition practicable, but such action was
; nottaken and with the adjournment of con-
gross, the combination promptly shows its
hand Another tax is thus levied indi-
rectly on all classes of people, rich and
poor alike, aud another group of schemng
capitalists are fattening on the public.
There is not the slightest doubt that this is
a great country.
