The CumlsFl&nd is still rising slow.
| ~ at this Sofnt.
The Steamer b. S. Rhea will leave
Paducah to-day for Nashville.
The Dover is tied up at Nashville
and will probably not enter the trade
until next summer.
The Cairo steel bridge is TO be
1926 feet in length and is to have
fifty spans. 1t is 234 feet less than
two miles across it.
Capt. It. G. Ryman is in Paducah,
putting the steamer e. G.. Ragon in
tirst-class order, preparatory to her en-.
tering the Nashville and Evansville
trade.
This season indications are that
navigation win open earlier than
business. Three mp river boats are
now lying at the wharf at Nashville
idle, and plenty of water for trip.
Sam Walker, the pilot, is engaged
for the season ON the City of Clarks-
vile, which plies between Celina and
Point Burnsides, the head of naviga-
ton on the Cumberland.
Steamer J. p. Drouillard, now
lying at Jeffersonville, will leave
there in a few days to enter the
Nashville and Cairo trade. Capt, w.
r. Gracey will be in command and
and Frank Baugh will have charge
of the offie.
Capt. Lowell the owner of the Matt
Allen, with characteristic progressive
ness, has had this boat lighted with
electricity. He has been fortunate in
securing the services of r. A. and B.
M. Goad, as pilots, for the season.
The Crusader was sold by her
owner, Capt. VIM. Litterer, to some
Tennessee River parties, who will run
her in that trade. Capt. Strong took
her to Paducah, from which point she
will enter the Tennessee River. The
sale of this boat leaves an opening to
some person to put in a low-water
boat next summer.

Amusements.

We take great pleasure in announc-
ing the appearance at Elders Opera
House on Monday and Tuesday even
ings of next week of the dashing
protean actress Miss Nellie Walters
who is universally acknowledged by
both press and public to be one of the
brightest soubrettes on the American
stage today. She is supported by
her own excellent company Of CO.
medians and is producing the new
musical comedy "Criss Cross espec-
tally for her by Gus J. Heege the
author of "Wanted the Earth"
played last season by Mr.. John Dill
lon with such great success,
Miss Walters is very versatile
actress of the Lolita type, but has a
style peculiar to herself and has a
pleasing way Of catching an audience
at the outset and holding until the
finish. Criss Cross is one Of thuS2
bright musical comedies and abounds
with very funny selections brim full
of new catchy music, and is full OF
vim from start to finish which in
variably keeps the audience in a
roar from beginning to end. We
bespeak them full houses during their
engagement as they surely deserve it.

monstration Of the fact that the
world progresses. This decision
should give the life insurance compa-
mics an increase of business. When
the law Of Imprisonment for debt
was abolished, civilization was adj
vanced immensely, and now that the
highest court of the most enligh-
tened nation on the globe decides
that man may lay something by
for his family to be secured to them
in the event of his death, it becomes
quite worth ones while to make the
struggle of life.

THE New York World thinks that


THE New York World thinks that
the Republican party is going to
make a change in its policy towards
the South that "having failed to
hold the Southern States by force or
to recover them by misrepresenta-
ton and threats, is to try to the vir-
tue of coaxing and cajolelry." The
World notices that already the over
lures made by the bloody shirt
waivers have been welcomed in va
rious quarters of the South, and it
observes that while the Southern
States cannot be turned back to negro
and carpet-bag rule, some of them
may be secured to a National party
that will give them decent home
rule, at the same time liberal Federal
appropriations and a protective tariff.
The World thinks the split would be
a good thing for the country, but it
promises the Republicans that for
every Southern State they gain the
Democrats will win one in the North
and West.

Oldest Chime of Bells.

The oldest chime of bells in America is
the chime of eight on Christ church, Salem
street, Boston. They were brought from
England in 1744, and were procured by
subscription, Mr.. John Rowe giving TIE
freight. They cost e5GO; the charges
for wheels and putting them in place
were G03. The inscriptions on them are
as follows; The tenor first says ''Thi5
peal of eight bells is the gift of number
of generous persons to Christ church in
Boston. New England. Ammo 1744, A.
r." The second: This church was
founded in the year 1923, Timothy Gull
Ter, doctor in divinity, the first rector, A.
Il. 17l4." The third says: 1--WE are the
first ring of bells cast for the British en-
piro in North America, A. r. 1744. :"
The fourth exclaims: "God preserve the
Church of England, 1744." The fifth
commentaries "Wiliam Shirley, ESQ.,,
governor of Massachusetts bay in N. f.,
Ammo 1744." The sixth bell tells us:
1.-THE subscription of these bells was
begun by John Hammock and Robert
Temple, church wardens, 1744." The
seventh says: "Since generosity has
opened our mouths, our tongues shall
read aloud its praise, 1744," and the
eighth concludes. "Abel Rudhall, Of
Gloucester, cast us all, Ammo 1744. -

No Independence in Columbia.

The Columbia municipal election
was held on Tuesday, and everything
passed off in the best good humor.
Tho great interest centred in Ward d,
tho ward of the now well-known
Smith.
The election was most gratifying
one to tho Democratic party, for tho
straight ticket was elected by q hand
some majority over tho Independent
tickek and thus forcibly illustrated tho
fact that tho masses of tho people in
Columbia fully appreciate the impor-
tanco Of union in the Democratic
ranks. Ono feature in the election,
as reported in tho papers, deserves rs
much condemnation as that which has
been poured upon tho heads of mis-
guided Independents. Indeed, it
amounts to tho same thing in tho end.
Mr.. Beck, who was regular nominee
Of the party, was scratched by somo
voters because his name also appeared
on tho independent ticket. His name
was used without his consent, and
there is no excuse for those regular
Democrats who scratched his name.
Tho principle is tho samo in either
case
Now that this election is over Let us
hope that any bitterness that may
have boon ongendcrcd by it may be
forever buried, and that our orring
but patriotic citizens, who wrongly
thought that their action was for tho
bcst, may again come uirlcr tho pro-
tccting fold of tho Democratic party
and dwell with their brethren in
peace. They probably do not think
they have ever left tho party, but that
is what tho action amounted to, and
we hopo they will como back and uso
their influence hereafter in preventing
any distasteful selections In tho party,
and work with will to secure it's
success Mt all times.

several pretty movements by twos,
fours and Fights, platoons of sixteen
and company front marchings. One of
the neateSt figures was that of open
order with locked arms. There
was pleasing contrast in
the white, red and blue cOlors of the
Seven Corners club, the black and yell
low of the Pioneer Press brigade, and
the blue with yellow military trimmings
of the Little Crows.
AS soon as the drill was over Col.

that he was surprised to see men not
military men and boys like the Little
Crows do so well, awarded the prizes,
giving first to the Seven Corners club,
second to the Pioneer Press brigade and
third to the Little Crows.
The banners are very pretty. The
first prize has white satin front with
letters of gold, a border worked in gold
and Nile-green satin back. The taS-
sells are in gold, the staff gilded and a
gold eagle sits upon the staff head. The
second prize has blue satin front and
a pink satin back, and the third prize,
shaped like shield, an orange satin
front and red back.
The clubs cheered one another, Col.
Hornick starting the cheering, and the
war yell of the Seven corners club, lone,

bursts of laughter. The clubs marched
to Third and Minnesota streets, the
