--Excursionists are drifting back home
from their trip to St. Louis fair, exposition
and yelled prophet parade. The exposition
is voted the blue ribbon, but the V. P. can
not hope to equal circus parade in the
eyes of the bucolic visitor for many yeers to
come.
Louis Herbert has six car loads of pro-
duce on the way here, which will arrive
tomorrow morning. His business is rap
idly Increasing and his orders are far in
excess of receipts. Mr.. Herbert is a thor

"A special train of five coaches on the
Cairo & st. Louis narrow gauge left here
yesterday morning for Murphysboro. The
Hon. r. ]. Oglesby, Republican candidate
for Governor, was on the train not a sin
gle passenger was added to the list from
Cairo, and only three at Jonesboro. "What
can the matter be2"
The Oglesby demonstration ut Mound
City this afternoon and evening will doubt
less attract quite number from our city, as
it should. The General, as a candidate for
the Governorship Of as great common
wealth as Illinois, is very important per-
sonage much more so, in fact, than he
will be few weeks in the henceness.
Prof Hagan's portrait school is pro.
crossing nicely. His pupils are all perfect
ly delighted with the new system, which
has enabled them all to place on exhibition
drawings as fine as steel engravings,
though only one week has been devoted to
the work. Only one day more remain
for those now contemplating learning this
new art to enroll their names for the next
course.
With stock law Alexander county
will not have to fence the court yard. Saw
ing number one. The money thus saved
could be used in patching the cornice of the
court house before it falls off and kills some
one, necessitating an inquest and conse.
quent expense. Saving number two. The
writer is not, as might be supposed, dc.
scendant of the old maid who sat before
the fire and wept on possibilities. But the
stock law is what we all want, whether we
know it or not, and it is well to consider all
things that bear on that question.
On and after November all employees
on Cairo Short line passenger trains will be
uniformed in splendid gray suits, similar
to those worn by letter-carriers, except that
they will be a shade darker. Baggage.
men will wear sack coats while brakemen
and conductors will wear close fitting frocks
with monogram badge of the road on the
right breast. All suits will be mounted
with plain brass buttons of the pattern and
style of fifty years ago. The object in
changing suits is to avoid the monotonous
blue 80 common, by reason of which it is
quite difficult at times to distinguish be-
tween an employe and private citizen

Dropping into Prof. Hagan's studio, on
Commercial avenue yesterday, we were, to
put it mildly, surprised at the progress
shown by all his pupils. While not wish
ing to make any invidous comparisons, we
feel safe in making special mention Of the
crayon drawing of an old mill, by Mrs.
Farrow; den of foxes, by W. Z. Hendricks
(who has had but two lessons); life size por-
trait, by Willie Smith Uhree lessons) land
scape, by Miss Emma steagala, and land.
scape by Mrs. j. D. Ladd. Prot Hagan,
who is the inventor and patentee of the
system, is making Cairo his headquarters,
and has quite q large class, every student
showing progress that must be called
simply wonderful.
