county, with fair chance Of election. We
know enough OF Mr.. Warder to safely say,
Alexander county will have first class
Judge if Walter is chosen He is a
scholarly gentleman with legal ability suf-
fcient TO put him in high estimation OF
those who might have occasion to DO bust
ness in the court over which he may preside
Early Sunday morning the remains Of
young Henry De LsMot, who committed
suicide the night before, were taken to the
Seyen-Mile graveyard and inferred La
Mot was about twenty one years old. An
examination of the phial out of which he
had taken the poison revealed the fact that
be had taken thirty grains of strychnine
instead of fifteen or sixteen as he had said
He took i. as solution and had taken
large doses of morphine before. 1t seems
hardly possible, therefore, that any med.
ical aid which could have been given
would have saved his life He was prompt.
ly given very large doses OF cmeticS by
Messrs, Barclay, which had not the slightest
effect The cause of his rash act is not yet
positively known, and some who knew him
best believe that he had no cause, but that
he was mentally deranged, Yet 1t was
learned yesterday that he admitted to some
one that the cause of his departure from
Germany was love affair of some kind
which was dstasteful to his parents who
compelled him to leave. He wore double
| ring on one OF his fingers, on the inside of
which the name of the young girl was
engraved.
To-day jenkins & Ellis and Wiley &
| Cstollous, negroes who are keepers of
gambling dens up town, will be tried for
| this otfense Warrants were issued and
served yesterday The first named firm
was tried, convicted and fined for the same
offcnse once before. They were fined ten
dollars and costs then, the lowest fine i'm
posed by the ordinances. They will have
shown, if they are proven guilty again, that
q ten dollar fine has no terror for them,
| therefore heavier fine should, and doubt
less, will be assessed this time. A warrant
has also been issued against negro named
Webb Mckinney, agambler by profession,
for striking young Italian named jim
Kritchlow, also gambler, a severe blow
in the face with a cigar box
used for deposting the money
paid for the games played The
officers are confident that they have
good cases against all these fellows.
These negroes have become bold in their
infractions of one of these most important
laws in the city; places of business, if they
deserve 50 dignifed name, are com
monty accepted to be gambling hels If
they are proven such to-day their keeper
! should be fined in amounts that will at
least make them take in their horns lit

The Argus thinks The BULLETIN
Cheeky" because it suggested TO the st.
Louis and Cairo railroad company that
Cairo would be a suitable place for the
company's machine shops, and suggests that
the city withdraw its injunction against
the railroad before it is reasonable to eX-
pect the road to even consider Calros
claims as point for the shops The Ar

nauow.guage standpoint 1t seems that
the city has wronged, and is under obliga.
tons to, the railroad company aud can there
fore not expect any favor from said com.
pany. The Argus certainly expects that
its words shall be understood in purely
Pickwickian sense, for in no other way
can they be taken without rejecting seri-
ously on the good sense Of that paper. If
there has been any exhibition OF "cheek"
it has come from the railroad company,
and consists in demand upon the city for
perpetual protection against the river, free
Of charge, after having swndled
the city as never city was
swinded before. The city's injunction
sgainstthe company is but an attempt to
protect itself against monstrous piece of
Cheek hurled at it by said company
The BULLETIN did not abuse the company
it told the truth, and defended and justified
the city in its endeavors to protect itself
But the war is over now. The company
can atone for its past ill treatment of
the city by paying fair price
for perpetual protection against the river
and 10y bringing its machine shops to Cairo
II it will do these things, although the city
would not thereby be UNIDENTIFIED for all
