Mysterious Death.

Mrs. Geek was found dead in her house
at the corner OF Fourteenth and Walnut
streets, last night about 0 80 o'clock. She
was found by her son, seated in rocking
chair, quite dead. The son gave the alarm
and officer McTigue, who was near by,
called DR.. Gordon who fastened to the
scene, but found that be could render no
service in the case.
A cut over the dead womans lett eye,
and slight bruises under the eye and on the
chin, first attracted attention. One Of the
pockets of her dress was turned inside out
and nckle was found lying on the floor near
her. A wash bowl of water discolored by
blood, was standing on table near by, and
beside it lay hand looking glass. AT the
suggestion of the officer the SOD, William,
looked shout the house to see if there had
been robbery, but nothing was missed. But
the search resulted in the finding of Mrs.
Gecks pocket book in closet ia the room
where she sat The pocket-book was blood
stained aud contained two fve-dolar bills.
The first impression was that she had
been foully dealt with, but the circumstan-
ces and inquiry among the neighbors seems
to dissipate this opinion. She
and her son, a young man
about twenty-one years old, were the
sole occupants Of the corner house. Her
son had left her alone shortly after supper,
and she had told him that she would 60 out
in town. 1t seems that she started to 90
out, for colored man says that he saw her
come forth from the house and suddenly
fall forward upon her face, striking her
head against the edge of the sidewalk She
arose almost Immediately, however. and
went slowly up stairs, holding one hand to
her forehead. The circumstances in the
room seem to indicate that she bathed her
wounded face in the wash-bowl, by the aid
Of the looking.glass, but becoming faint,
sat down and expired 1t is not at all
prob able that the wounds che received
caused her death, for they are all too slight.
The largest, that over the eye, was but skin
deep and hardly an inch long, the others
were only surface bruises. DR.. Gordon was
puzzled to account for the fatal result un.
der all the circumstances.
Deceased Was probably over fifty years
old. She was an old resident here and had
lived for many years in the house mention
ed which she owned with several others
adjacent. She leaves two grown sons.

much importance to the disaifectons in the
party in 1882 particularly in view of the
fact that several of the counties in which
dsaiiection WAS believed to be strongest
gave larger Republican majorities than
they did when all was believed to he
harmony0 No, sir. The Republican party
of this district was not any stronger in 1882
than its majority indicted, and there is
good reason to believe that it Is weaker to-
day than it was then,
Mr.. Joseph Steagala has returned to
Cairo to stay. He is tired of Hot Springs.
The recent serious disturbances there have
paralyz busin 'ss Of every kind and un-
examped dizziness is expected to reign
there for a considerable time. Mr. S. ex-
poets 10 sell out his business there very
soon and will again devote himself entirely
tn his interests here. H. is the first of sew
eral who have left Cairo within the last year
or SO to return to his first love-" 1t is the
old story. We are never satisfied with
what we have and it is only after having
tasted that for which we SO ardentlv wished
and been sorely disappointed, that we learn
to appreciate what we had before. While
Cairo may be less attractive than other
cities, she is, in other, more important re-
spscts, the equal of most other cities of her
size, and superior of many. Put it will
probably take bitter experience tc satisfy
many OF our chrome malcontents of this
fact-of whom, by the way, Mr.. Steagala
was not one.
Only three or four members of the
Csiro lodge of Odd,Fellows will be in attend
ance upon the anniversary celebration at
Murphysboro to day. These paid the reg
ular fare which amounted to probably a
little over ten dollars in all, whereas, but

road companies leading to Murphysboro,

gotten two hundred and fifty dollars for
special train. 1t was expected, no doubt,
thatthe Odd Fellows, seeing that they could
not get special train, would 90 anyhow,
and pay regular rates. But no; the Odd
Fellows refused to be caught in the trap
and are cheerfuly remaining at home. Here
then, Is one case at least In which "pool"
played the devil with the business of the
roads that were included 10 it; and it is only
another of many illustrations of how little
act of meanness intended to inflict punish
ment for a wrong, fancied or real, only to
satisfy a thirst for vengeance, may suddenly
become boomerang and return to strike
those from whom it came There is NOR
al in all this, and it lies so near the surface
that it needs not be stated to those whom it
most concerns.

II was rum0red in down town business circles

gone to keep an engagement which they had to
play billiards with John G. Emo on New-Years
