The mildness of the winter throughout
the West, upto this date, has done much
to relieve this country from the effects OF
the short crops of last year. If the season
continues as now and the spring be forward
as it promises, the law of compensation
will leave the country in nearly as good
condition at planting time this year with
respect to actual resources as it would have
been with full crop from last year and a
severe winter following.
The preliminary examination of John
Wilson, who shot and killed Andrew Fry
at East Cape Girardeau on Saturday, last
week. was the occasion for much comment
in that burg on Wednesday. The trial was
largely attended and close attention was
paid to the proceedings. A number of wit
nesses were examined, and the result was
that Wilson was acquitted. There was not
much excitement, probably because de-
ceased was not popular. Wilson is said to
be man given TO peaceful ways and dis
posed to avoid anything which might tend
to disturbance. That he is such man
was amply born out by his behavior as
sworn to before both the coroner's jury and
the magistrate.
1t is said that the nurse in the st.
Louis quarantine hospital has had the
smallpox once in the natural way, and
that he is now suffering from varioloid.
The health officers and physicians of st.
Louis are much interested in this case. One
of the newspapers of that city says that
the city physicians account for the nurses
condition on the hypothesis that he is suf-
fering with the second attack of an inherit
ed disease which sometimes presents an
appearance similar to small pox. SomeFof
these doctors claim that smallpox and va
rioloid are not types of the same disease,
but different diseases, arising from similar
causes, and that small -pox and varioloid
may occur MS often as other fevers. That
these medicine doctors are not in error we
cannot believe. If they are not, then vac
cination is no protection against either
smallpox or varioloid, and that it is pro-
lection against both diseases the exper-
fence of the wsrld has clearly demon
strated.
THE BULLETIN was called upon yes
terday by Mr.. Patrick Sullivan, Of San
dusky Precinct, in this county, whose name
appeared under the protest of the people
along the line Of the Cairo and st. Louis
railroad in this county, published in yes
terday mornings BULLETIN. Mr.. Sullivan
"protests" against the "protest; he denies
that he signed his name to it, or that he
authorized any one else to do so; he does
not endorse the sentiments contained in it
and does not wish to be understood as
entertaining anything but the kindest
feelings towards the people and
merchants of Cairo. He is
sensible enough to see that, to resolve not
to trade with Cairo merchants so long as,
by sheer force of circumstances, one cannot,
without extra trouble, trade with Cairo, is
very much like placing oneself in the posi-
ton of the fox with reference to the grapes.
1t is probable that there are others whose
names appear under the "protcst," who be-
lieve just as does Mr. Sullivan, and who,
like he, were not aware that they were sign
ers TO the protest" until after it appeared
in print The person who took upon him
self the responsibility of signing names to
the protest without the knowledge of the
owners thereof, should be discovered and
prosecuted for the larceny Of one of the
most valuable things man possesses.
"A great pressure is being brought to
bear upon the governor of Illinois to refuse
to incorporate in his call for an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature any recommendation
for action to relieve the suffering Of the
drouth-stricken counties of Southern Hi
nois. Springfield specials report that pro-
tests are pouring in from Southern Illinois,
and among the arguments made against
sucha recommendation is that the discus
sion Of the subsection in the assembly,
with the pitiful appeals for assistance with
which some of the members will be heavily
charged, will have atendcncy to iDjure the
fair fame Of Egypt as prosperous and
highly productive country, and seriously
affect the price of real estate. tits said
that the governor has already signified his
willingness to let the matter drop, much to
