CO. BOARD OECIO{S
THAT DR.. M'MANuS WAS REALLY
SHERIFF BY ORDER OF
THE GOVERNOR.
Accepted His Report and Allowed His
Expenditures Out Of Fees Col
lccted by Predecessor
-O"er $50

In the matter of the two reports by
the two cx,sheriffs of the county,
Franks T. Davis and Dr. James NJ.
McManus, the Board of County Com
missionefs has reached a decision, af-
ter weeks of discussion. The trouble
arose from Mr. DnVis refusal to ad-
nit that he had been ousted from the
office by the law or by the governors
proclamation under tncr law. which
designated DR.. MeManus as sheriff:
and he made his report 10 the Board
to cover the period during which Dr.
MCManvs performed the duties Of the
office. Or. McManrs bad charge Of
the Office during a period whom therc
were practically no receipts. and he
pa; over $500 out of his own pocket
to meet The expenses. Had Sheriff
Davis been in the office he would have
paid these expenses out of fees pre-
yiously collected and made his report
accordingly AS it was there were
no fees out of which Or. McManus
could pay himself and there seemed

the Board was unable to decide
whether to accept Mr.. Davis report
or DR.. McManus', for the time the
latter had been sheriff. Attorneys
we're consulted and they differed in
their views; but tho Boaru snnaIly
acted on the advice Of Judge l.ansden
who is regular advisor. and concluded
that the law under which Mr. Davis
was removed IS q valid law until il
is declared invalid by the Supreme
court of the state, and that there

HIS S7TH BIRTHDAY
r. p. Robbins, Caro's Famous Band
Master N.ll Have Quiet
Celebration Thurcday.

Thursday, Feb. 10th Il 2, Robbins
will celebrate the eighty-seyenth an
niversary Of bis entry into this lite
quietly at his home with some of his
children and grandchildren, He was
born a musician" as the saying goes
and INDUCED much in his younger
days-always given to the study of
the rudiments and practice OF music
on the various instruments used in
bands and orchestras. At the age of
19 years he taught his first band
away from home-at Charleston, w.
Va. That was in 1892 The follow
ing year he renewed his work in the
western country where he was very
busy in instructing bands principally,
for some years, In 1882 and 1855 he
was postmaster of Edwardsvillc, Ill.
He was induced to come to Cairo in
1862 where he took a position under
David T. Linegar who was then post-
master and was here but short time
before the old band bought new in
strumcnts and rather pressed him in
as their leader Soon tne noted Cairo
Silver Cornet Band was organized
and finally became one of the best
bands in the western country.
On the occasion Of the national con.
ycntion of Knights Templar in 1874
yir Robbins went to New Orleans
with a band Of thirty players as the
Cairo Silver Cornet Band" ut is
generally known he says that We
had a large delegation on our steamer
tho eli Thompson Dean-Capt,
Paul, master. At New Orleans our
band healed tho long procession and
carried of the premium over twelve
other bands.
The Silver Conet Band at that
time included the following musicians
besides myself as near as can recol.
lect; Pat Reilly, Bernard Smyth,
Walt Mckee, Morris Wiley, Judge
Bross, Adolph Swoboda, Henry Cos
man, Fred Teichman, Carl Thomas,

Wayman and others from Anna and
BuQuoin, many Of whom are now IN

occasion the members had to work
hard but they were a Jolly set and
told the story of their trip many
times after their return
At this time Mr. Robbins shows age
and is somewhat shaky. He may hold
out many years yet to come, but
above all he hopes to be ready when
the trumpet is sounded and the last
call is made

Waved as slight, people who needed
every dollar they had at home. would
spend dollars to contribute to the
floral display at a funeral .....
Frequently costly coffins and equip
pages and mourning phcrnalia
have loaded a family with debt for
months and sometimes years. This
is passing cut. thanks to the example
OF people in good financial crcum-
stances. who have recognized the
necessity for a change in the fashion.
The new style is to have public fun
eral services and private burials. It
is no longer the fashion to put on
heavy and expensive mourning garbs
1t is now properly considered bad
taste to ostentatiously parade before
friends or in pCbic by mourning ap-
pareI.a bereavement. and keeping this
up fqr.a long period as was formerly
the fashion.
The change in the funeral and
mourning fashions is a step forward.
The most appropriate way for
friends desiring to pay a tribute OF
respect to deceased person. if they
can afford 4, is to give something for
a headstone or monument to be
erected at the grave.

the Importance to the city of the
work proposed to be done. In past
census years there has been more or
less complaint that the work was not
thorough. and in the census Of two
decades ago the city authorities fol
lowed up the work of the government
officials with revision which brought
a thousand more names to the list.
The work of the census taker is not
pleasant one, and the system OF pay
offers little incentive to thoroughness.
AT so much the name, man makes
a fair salary for the first few days
but after that it will require painstak-
ing effort to make good showing.
Those who have had experience in III
rectory work and in census taking
know that many people are missed on
the first round, some on the second
and some ON the third, for various
reasons. Hence the difficulty and un
~ertainty of getting the inhabitants
listed. If the census taker cares on
ly for the money there is in his work
not for its thoroughness. he will go
listlessly to his task after the first
two or three DAYS and may drop it
entirely when it ceases to yield what
he considers fair pay, with the result
that the censrs figures as finally put
forth viii fall far short of the rea.
