added that TO make such an offer would be
poor policy, setting a precedent that would
soon ruin clubs efficiency.

made complaint that be was suffering Sc
verely from the depredations of members

A man named John Brown recently was
given employment by Justice SPRINGFIELD,

evinced his gratitude by stealing the Judges
gold watch and chain, and taking his de-

A resident of the upper portion of the
! city desires attention called to the side
| walks on & street, between Twelfth and
| Thirteenth. He declares that the brick
sidewalk on the south side Of the street,
near Twelfth, is so uneven and out of
proper condition that it is disagreeabe to
walk upon in the daytime, and at night,
when the people cannot see where they
| place their feet, very much worse. 1t is
| badly overgrown with weeds on the sides,
| and pedestrians have to walk in the center,
where it is full of holes and inequalities.
If people, to avoid it, take the other side of
| the street, they find q section of the side
walk entirely removed, it having been
| taken up two or three weeks ago to allow
| house to be moved in upon a lot, and
never replaced.

engagements of stomach and bowels, cured
