and should be elected, are multiplying

"the Republican Congressional Convention
did foolish thing. They threw overheard
Hon. John NJ. Crum, who so ably filled the
office Of member of the State Board OF
Equalization, to make pace for an office
seeking politician, Mr.. Crum has looked
well to the interests of Southern Illinois,
and was among the most able members OF
the Board. This will secure the election OF
Capt. Wilson. lie has filled the position
before with ability, and is just the man to
succeed Mr. Clum."
AT the Council meeting last night
Counsellor Gilbert submitted report on va
riuus matters referred to him at previous
meetings of Council. He reported adversely
on proposed ordinances requiring owners Of
property on Ohio levee to pay for recent
crawling of SAID street. And also
reported an ordinance requiring
railroads to keep street crossings
in repair. Street Committee recommended
fencing in outer slope of New Levee Street
also to have Cache bridge repaired at cost
of not over 800. Petition of Mr.. f.
Korsmeyer for permission TO lay brick
walk around his premises on corner 18th
tn and Walnut Streets was grained, May
or re-appointed Rev. F. p. Davenport,
Judge w. II. Green and Mr.. Wood Ritten-
house directors of Public Ii library.
Mr.. B. F. Kefc, yardmaster of the
Wabash Road here, and Mr., Shearer con-
neCted with the same road at Mt. Carmel,
took drive to the National Cemetery at
Mound City Monday afternoon, and when
near the cemetery on the gravel road, they
saw, sitting III the grass near the road, a
woman and child, evidently in distress, and
some distance on buggy turned over end
horse having but fragments of his harness
on, aud man trying to subdu1 the still
obstreperous animal. MeSsrs. Kief and
Shearer took in the situation at once and
offered assistance. The lady and child
were assisted into the buggy and were
taken home to Mound City by Mr. Shearer
while Mr.. Kief rem aimed to help the man
right his buggy and subdue his horse
The wrecked party turned out to be Mr.. A.
j. Dougherty and family, of the Stave Fac
tory at Mound City, who were on their WY
to Cairo. Mr.. D. attempted to drive down
the side of the cemetery road, when the
buggy turned over, and the horse became
frightened and ran away. Mr.. d. got
bad cut across his face and Mrs. d. was
injured in the side, while the child was not
hurt at all The horse dragged the over
turned buggy some sixty yards, while Mrs.
D. and the child'werc held prisoners in the
raised top. 1t is remarkable, therefore,
that they were not more seriously injured.
Civil Engineer Chas Thrupp is en-
gagged in laying out plat of ground that
was bought last week by Mr.. Jno. Bur
goise, from the Cairo Trust Property Com
pany The ground adjoins the already ex-
tensive garden of Mr.. Bursoise, near the
city's lcvee, and comprises about fourteen
acres. The price paid for WAS $500 pei
acre and it included piece of sipewatel
land at that. That the price paid for it
though two hundred dollars per acre more
than it might have been bought for several
years ago, was not too high, is proven by
the fact that Mr.. Burgoise could have sole
it at 500 per acre almost immedatel.
after he had bought it, and he refused t.
sell it, But the land is VIGOROUSLY of TIT
best quality for gardening. Our half dozer
or more gardeners up town have all beer
doing well during the last few years. Som,
of them have only small patches of grounC
from which they manage to CLEAN enough
vegetables for this and other markets t
live well and lay up something for rainy
day; while others, who had been working
larger tracts, have prospered in proportion
There is any quantity Of this sort of land il
this county that is unimproved. Larg
tracts of the richest bottom lands in tn,
country lie idle in this county, which, i
cultivated, would yield to the owner, anC
TO the county and city untold wealth il
