The Comique band, with Mr.. Harry
Walker at its head, and AL. Goss and Ed
Lemons as leaders, made the rounds OF the
city Yesterday afternoon. cit is rapidly re-
gaining its former popularity, because, un'
der the tutorship of Prof. Goss, it is rapid
ly approaching its former perfection as a
producer of fine music.
The average state of the thermometer
at twenty one points in the northwest, as
reported by Sergeant W. H. Rays weather
bulletin yesterday afternoon, was sixty-tve
degrees above zero, showinga decline OF
several degrees from the state given by the
previous report. The weather was general
Iy clear; rain was reported only from Pitts

dredths of an inch.
"A very interesting event which occur
red at the Tenth street hall on Monday
night was entirely lost sight of on account
of the election. 1t was the drill of the
Halliday guards for an elegant gold medal.
About twenty-five of the best drilled
members took part in the drill; Col. John
Wood, and Mr.. Geo. r. Lentz were appoint
ed Judges, and, after several hours of tactics,
during which much skill WAS displayed by
the citizen soldiers, and during which each
one as he made an error left the ranks, Mr..
Patrick Dugan remained alone, the best
drilled member of the company, and he
was awarded the elegant medal.
County court, Judge R. S. Yocum
presiding, convened at the court house yes
terday for the purpose of disposing of some
important probate business. The case of
c. r. Clark vs.. the estate of VIM. Self &C
cupying nearly all day and was still being
argued late last evening. Clark and Self
were partners in business; Self died and
leftSa will giving Clark control of his
(Self's) property; subsequently later will
was discovered, giving some Cincinnati
man full control of the property, and now
Clark brings suit against the estate to re-
cover wages for services performed for de-
ceased while alive and for other claims.
--Newland s. Co.'S water works are now
in steady operation and is supplying the
street sprinklers aud also the water carts,
or at least the few honest ones who furnish
their patrons with pure filtered water.
Now when cisterns are ruined and the peo-
pie are dependent upon the water carriers
for their supply they should insist on hav.
ing only that taken from Newland & Co.'S
pipes-and not dipped from the river
where it is mixed with sipeage and sewer
water. The only place that water carts
can be filled is just below the mouths of
sewers the water work pipes are above
these. Water from the works being filter
ed IS clear, while that taken from the
river is muddy. The charge for the filter.
cd water is only % cents extra on three
loads, which is really cheaper to the driver
than filling his cart by hand and hauling
up the levee. Buyers should be careful
and patronz only those who haul from the
water works.
GRANDMOTHER Argus, doubtless be-
ievng that discretion is better than vaor
under certain circumstances, had not
word to say in abuse Of the Illinois state
board of health and of DR.. j. Ii. Rauch dur
ing the several days of the latter's presence
in the city. Before this the old lady took
advantage of every opportunity to criticise
unfavoraby the Illinois board and es-
pecially Dr. Rauch, for his energetic efforts
in suppressing the smallpox in the state.
1t would seem, that during the doctors
presence here, when he could defend him
self against any charges worthy of
notice, lit would be the
proper time to call HIM to account for
any sizes of omission or commission Of
which he might have been guilty; but the
old grandmother knew better than to open
her sour old mouth, especially sour since
the election, and will reserve her foolish
complaints until all danger of back hand
slap from the energetic M d. is passed.
AT u meeting Of the Grafton Fishing
Club last night, some important business
