Chicago, September lS.-Ali i
quiet and serene in this meek o
woods.V We continue t--4ldulge In
The Sunday murder; I believe it oc
Cured late Saturday night the last
time. but no matter few hours is
nothing. We have more policeman
than we used 20 have, but not more
order. Gut when one considers the i'm
mcnse number of saloons and low dives
that are allowed almost absolute free
dom, u Is not wonderful that there is
rs much crime as there Is in this city
which has 100000 souls Within its fire
limits TO say nothing OF the many
suburbs which are virtually Chicago.
\ BIC SCHEME.
The aldermen OF Chicago planned n
Zig scheme TO elect an acting mayor
during Carter's absence in the Yellow
stone park, but Carter has saved them
the trouble by telegraphing that he
will be back before their first meeting
IT, cold day when Carter fails To bob
up serenely in time 10 nip in the bud
such movements.
MoDJEsltA.
Modieska left masy pleasant remem-
bfances in this city where the Won
deriully talented Polish actress has
always been II prime favorite. Mr..
logeph Singer, n musician Of Chicago,

THE EXPOSITION.
The exposition is In full blast. II IL

solos on the cornet. aud was gradually

young man with straw hat, linen
buster, aud winter gloves, heaved a
sigh and exclaimed: "Derned If

that followed was greater than the
applause.

coming convention of colored men, IL
any presidential preference is made,
the name OF Robert Lincoln will ilg

THE MoRMoNs MIST GO.
Mormon missionaries are busy aud
are adding train-loads of converts to
their faith more rapidly than the peo-
pie OF this country realize. Never he
fore have the polygamous Mormon
elders been so active as Mt present
They seem to realize that there Is the
greatest necessity for activity, while
tho government allows them so much
freedom 10 violate the laws as at pres
onf; FOR they can see M clearly as any
that u day OF reckoning must come,
however tardy II nay be. The oues-
ton of extcrminatiou OF the polygu-
nous Morinons should receive the
special attention OF the next congress:
and the subject should not again he

the problem. Delay Is dangerous.
