He thinks they deserve
Although the city council has engaged
the services of scavenger who makes the
rounds of the city every day and makes his
presence known by ringing bell, some citi-
zens-too many of them throw whatever
slops or kitchen offal they may have into
the street right in front of their premises
If placed in buckets by the gate the scavcn-
ger will remove it, and the streets and
premises will be kept clean. The ordi-
nances prohibit the throwing Of any yegeta-
bic or animal substances into the streets,
and there is no reason why it should be
done 50 long as there is man paid by the
city TO remove such substances from citi-
zens' premises.
"A drunken white man was lying prone
on the sidewalk near the Vicksburg house
on Commercial avenue last evening, when
two river men came along, one OF whom
suggested that they throw the drunken man
into pond of water near by. No sooner
said than done. The helpless wretch was
picked up and pitched head foremost into
the pond which was but about foot deep.
In doing 80 one of them shOved another who
was sitting on the railing, off into the pond.
This latter individual turned upon the man
who HAD accidentally showed him and let
forth a stream of absceue abuse, which
brought on fight and most ludicrous
scramble in the pond ot.dirty water. After
some gore had been mixed with the thor
oughly stirred up bog, the trio came forth
besmeared with filth and generally very
much worse for the ducking.
"A collision between the delivery wag-
ons of Messrs. Smith Bros, and Pettis &
Meredith, on Fourteenth street, back of
Washington avenue, yesterday morning,
caused the horse attached to the former to
run away. The horse ran toward Washington
avenue, and in turRing quickly down this
street toward the store, the occupant Of the
wagon, little white boy about twelve years
of age, named Johnnie Jones, was thrown
from the wagon and got his arm broken,
and sustained other minor bodily injuries.
The horse continued on his way until he
reached the store at the corner of thirteenth
street, where he ran the wagon against an-
other standing by the pump, causing the
horses attached thereto also to run away
and badly wrecking the delivery wagon
DR.. G. G. Parker was called to give the
injured boy surgical and medical attention.
The first of a series of temperance
REVEALS was held at Reform hall last night. |
MIR. Hoofstitler, the we'll known temperance
orator OF the central portion of the state
arrived accordngto arrangement and oc-
cupied the platform at the hall The hall |
was thronged with good audience, com
prlsing some ofour best people, both young
and old, nearly all Of whom were enthusiast
TIC temperance workers. The exercises
were opened with prayer and song, and
then the speaker of the evening was intro
duced by President G. NJ Alden. The
speech Is said by one who heard it to have
been one OF much merit, q powerful argu-
ment in favor of total abstinence, and free |
from uncalledfo personalities, which is
often the chief stock in trade of the |
temperance orators. The speaker
was often and vehemently appauded. A
number of signatures to the pledge were
obtained.
Metropolis Democrat; "The building
season has opened brightly. A spirit of en-
terprise has taken full possession of our CIT
liens and we note in many parts of the city
new brick residences are being put up to
take the places of unpretending little
frames. Judge Mulkcy, of Cairo, as we
have before stated, has determined to make
Metropolis his future home and has pur-
chased an elegant site and will soon let the
contract for fine residence. And we hear

ing. The cause of the enterprise is obv-
Gus. The country around our city is far
ahead OF US, and it is but natural that we
should try to catch up.'-The Democrat
seems to find much consolation in imaeln-
ing that Metropolis is about to depopulate
