The Bloomington Bulletin publishes a
large number OF reports from prominent
Democrats all over the State, giving the
local political outlook, among which we
find the following: "Judge William II.
Green, of Cairo, one of the most valuable
members Of the Democratic State Central
Committee, writes; The outlook was never
so bright for the Democrats IN Egypt. We
have two big Jefferson clubs who are doing
excellent work, and Cairo, and Alexander
will not be found wanting in November |
have been member of the State Central
Committee for many years, and cannot re
member the time when there was such har
mony in the party or when the outlook was
80 bright for us as it is at present.
Burglars entired the Novelty Iron
store, on Ohio Levee, during Tuesday night
and stole upwards of $400 worth Of fine
cutlery They gained entrance by means
of the hatch-way in the roof which they
reached from the adjoining building tc
which they had gained entrance by forcing
open rear door They took two baskets
that were in use in the store, filled then
with all manner of fine cutlery from the
show cases, and departed without being
troubled or leaving any definite traces
They also broke open nearly all the draw
ers in the house, finding about $40 il
money and postage stamps but an effort tt
open the safe failed for some reason MIR
John Majors wagon shop was also broker
into the same night, and some tools were
stolen.
"A gentleman who protested thorough
acquaintance with the st. Louis & Cairo
railroad and its affairs, said recently to {
st. Louis reporter, "The cost of the st
Louis and Cairo, two years ago, was 49,,
792, 800; expended on betterments (Colum
bia branch, &0G,9S0; total 1855 S9,OSO
The net earnings during the fiscal veal
ending January 81, 1884, were $210,S53
| Ten thousand tons of steel rails have re-
Gently been ordered by the management
and connections beng made with the Mo-
bile & Ohio at Cairo, there no longer ex-
lists, in my opinion, any necessity for con
solidating the two roads. Mr.. Smithers
the former receiver of the road, is now il
Louisville, KY, on business connected
with the Louisville md Nashville Railroad
They want 80 100000 for betterments, ant
| they expect to sccnre it,
About I 80 O'clock last night off,
GERS Mahanny and Dunn arrested white
stranger who was in the act Of departing
on the steamer Arkansas City for Mem
phis, and placed him in the city jail to be
examined to-day upon the charge of hav.
ing stolen gold watch cham and ring
from Mr.. E. a. Buder yesterday after
noon. The man came into the store an6
selected large lot ofjrwelry, saying tina
he would return to-day to get it. He al
so went to Mr.. Woodward's store, wher,
he selected lot of cutlery and left it
and then went to several other places
where he also selected goods, promising t.
return to-day to get them. Mr.. Buder die
not miss the jewelry till after nigh
and the officers had some difficulty in find
ing their man; but they caught up will
him just in time and found gold chair
and ring on his person which Mr.. and
Mrs. Buder both concur belongs to them
The supposition is that the man is one of {
gang Of sharpers who have been working
this city for several days, and that he got
the jewelry while making the selections
He will probably be examined to-day.
THAT The BULLETIN has prospered du
ring the last several years is, perhaps, pat
ent to all who have watched it even bu
casually. The fact that it has been able
to make an important addition to its read
ing matter, in the form Of daily dispatches
and to procure new cylinder press thai
will permit it to be increased in size when
ever other circumstances shall permit, may
be taken as ample proof of this. 1t is I
fact, also, that after these several additions
had been made, the prosperity continued
and increased also, so that now there is nj
longer any doubt that the Improvement
were justified and will be permanent. More
thanthis: The new press was procured, o.
