Ii Is Only Win TIE ala OF Ice waite
that yourcorrespondent is enabled TO re-
port progress for another week. Since
the eclipse we have had uniformly good
weather, although unusually warm. To-
day it is simply melting, still | will en-
deayor to make up my weekly budget in
as good style as possible.


The citizens of the West Division Of
the city are sorely afflicted with the heat
and very limited supply of water. y
careless vessel captain had his vessel
towed out of the stream stern first with
the anchor dragging. As they crossed
the main water pipe, which passed under
the river. the anchor tore large hole in
it. 1t will take week tc repair it and
probably cost $1,000, besides greatly in.
convenicncing 100000 people.


4 cause OF great alarm has arisen and
one which makes every pork eater feel
decidedly nervous. 1t is no less than The
appearance OF the dreaded parasite called
Trichina. Several persons were taken
sick and no satisfactory result could be
arrived at in reference to their complaint.
1t was finally discovered that they had
eaten pork which was affected with this
much dreaded parasite The Board OF
Health have taken the matter in hand
and viii allow no meat to be sold that Is
net free from this pest. Every effort Is
being made TO restore those afflicted, 10
perfect health.


A case Of no small Importance, is soou
to come before onr courts. \ confideu-
tial clerk Of joint stock company stole
some so, 600 Of the money Of the Co.
\ heavy stock holder has commenced
suit against the Directors for his proper
ton of the sum stolen. lie alleges that
they are guilty Of lax management and
allowed the secretary and this defaulteI
too much liberty The case viii be very
important as it viii decide to a large ex-
tent the actual responsibility of directors.
The agitation for the removal of the
capital has continued to increase and
spread. The citizens of St. Louis have
called a convention to discuss the subject
but they proceeded in a manner that will
| probably not accomplish the end. This
is too important a matter to be dealt with
in that manner. The call should have
come from the official heads Of cities,
districts and states and even then a large
proportion of all the Center and West
should be represent.


\ large excursion party from various
| places along the line of the n Western
r. Il. visited the city this week. n
large proportion of them were well bred
ladies and gentlemen, but there were
some who were evidently away from
home for the first time. The whole party
''did Chicago thoroughly.

ed by undaunted energy and the applica-
! ton Of honest purpose. This is eminent
ly the case in the great trust of life in
surance, where the competition is keen
and the best order of talent is employed
! In the face of these obstacles the success
of the Globe Mutual Life of New York,
which has earned the title Of the ''solid
| Globe from the New York Independ-
ent, shows a prudence of management
that deserves investigation. Only five
years old It has between two and three
millions of assets already. The Company
