SERIOUS CONFLICT.

Report comes to us from Rudolph
that Messrs. William and Wilfred
LaMay, brothers, whipped and seriously
beat their neIghbor Mr.. Joseph Akey
on Monday morning June 11th. 1t
appears that bad blood has existed
between these parties for some time.
LaMay's cattle entered Akevs yard
and while Akey was driving them out
the LaMay brothers came over and
commenced the trouble. They knocked
him down, dragged him into the road,
struck him several times with a spade
cutting his head badly and breaking
one rib of his left side. They left him
lying on the roadside unconscious. He
was carried into the house and DIR.
Ridgman sent for, who dressed his
wounds. The LaMay brothers were
arrested and gave bonds for their
appearance in the sum of $780, The
examination will be held on Wednesday
June Goth.
LATER.-Just before going to press we
learn that Mr.. Akey is improving and
will soon be out again.

Bicycle Drawing.

An eagre looking crowd of gentlemen
holding blue tickets in their hands were
noticed in J. E. Daly's pharmacy about
s o'clock Tuesday evening which caused
the unknowing passcr-by to wonder
what had happened to DAILY. 1t was
the occasion Of bicycle drawing, Mr..
DAILY having sold 155 tickets on Lowell
wheel the winner Of the lucky number
having his choice of lady or gents
bicycle valued at $l15.
One hundred and tifty-live tickets
numbered cOnsecutivelv from l to 155
were shaken up in Il box with hole at
the top just large enough to admit an
arm. The number on the last ticket to
be drawn from the box was declared
winner and after half hour of fun and
suspense it came to light-NO. 26 held
by Otto Hclmold. He selected the
lady's wheel for his sister. Mr.. Hell
mold had taken % tickets which cost
him $500, an easy price for 4 nice
wheel. We congratulate him for his
good luck but were sorry, in common
with good many more, that our ticket
was not No. 2G. Mr.. DAILY has already
started the gentleman wheel off again
in the same way.

BucEianan'S Comedians.

The buchanan Co." have been
playing to fair houses this week. The
attendance would be far better if the
weather was not so warm. They will
be here the rest of the week. The
company is first-class in every respect
and deserving of liberal patronage.
Their band and orchestra is excellent
and the music they furnish well worth
the price of admission. The extreme
hot weather is their only draw back
and it is to be hoped that it will not
last the whole week. The band appears
on the streets every morning and
evening.

Small POX Scare.

Dept of Health, Chicago, June 6, '94
GEO. H. HEAFFoRD, Esq,
Gen1 Pass. Agent, c. NJ. & St. P Ry.
Dear Sir.-I have your communication
Of June 9TH, advising that you have
information from your agents at points
remote from Chicago, that people are
afraid 10 come to our city because of
the published reports of smallpox here,
and asking for a brief statement of the
condition of affairs in relation to the
disease in this city.
In answer | desire to say that there is
absolutely no more danger of any one
contracting smallpox by visit to
Chicago, either for business or pleasure,
than there is of contracting any of the
other numerous diseases. There is,
and has been, more smallpox per capita
IN many towns in our country than in
Chicago. We have / ,600,00 people,
with $50 cases of small pox. We have
on an average about eight new cases per
day, less than one-third of what we had
one month ago. Smallpox in Chicago is
and has been, confined to those who
through misfortune or otherwise have
been forced to live in crowded and lily
ventilated quarters. These people have
been largely Bohemians in the
southwestern portions of the city who
had never been vaccinated until forced
to do so. As soon as vaccination became
general the disease abated in a marked
degree. There is no shadow of reason
why any one should stay away from
Chicago Oh this account, as they are
just as likely to come in contact with
the disease elsewhere as they are here.
Very truly yours,
ARTHUR r. REYNOLDS.
Commissioner of Health.

Bulletin No. 9.

Bulletin No 8.
The cold weather during the first part
of the week, and the continuation of
the drouth has retarded crop growth,
which together with the slight damage
from frost in some sections, makes the
crop prospects less favorable than last
week. Corn has not been n ateriaIly
injured and is now being cultivated.
On the whole the corn crop is doing
well. Winter wheat and rye in the
central districts are heading out; the
intense heat of the past few days has
brought the crop forward rapidly.
Frost occurred throughout the state
during the first part Of the week, but
the damage done is not great. A great
need of rain is felt throughout the
state, and unless the drouth is soon
broken much harm will result.
The prospect for d large hay crop IS
less promising than last week, and it is
probable that only fair crop will be
secured. Cranberries are doing well
although some marshes were damaged
by frost Potatoes are probably suffer
ing from the drouth and a reduction in
the Yield will result unless rain soon
comes. Potato bugs have appeared in
few counties only. Practically no rain
fell in the state during the week.
The normal rainfall for the past week
is about so Of All inch.
