Pa ducih was similarly afflicted a Bhort timo ago; hut it seems that tho authorities of that city took tho Bulletin's advice, cleaned up, and is now comparatively free from "tilth diseaseB." Owing to tho recent sudden changes in tho weather hero warm days and, as Vonnor would say, ''cool t cold" nights, there nro many cases of sovero cold iu tho city, in many instances accompanied by slight symptoms of malaria. This mala ria, a physician says, was laid in during tho summer, and is now coming to tho Biirface. A few sharp frosts aud brighter weather will, it is to be hoped, bring tho public he.Vth up to its usual high standard. Tho I linois Ceutrul company is pro- paring a now timo table for tho running of trains on the upper end of tho line, to take effect to-morrow at noon, having for its ob ject principally to checkmato tho Milwau kee and .St. Paul on its Sioux City business. The card was not yet issued, and its provis ions not mado public yesterday, but enough is known to state that the morning train which passes Freeport about nino o'clock, will bo thero about an hour earlier. Tho business west is what incites competition. A steam engine and boiler arrived a day or two ago for the Bunner & Cleaner oflice, and are being put in position at the oflice, in the second story of tho third brick building, from the corner of Twelfth street and Commercial avenue, be low the council chamber. Property holders in that square arc somewhat dissatisfied at this innovation, because tho insurance com panies have notified them that they must pay an increased rate on their policies, be cause of the increased danger from tire that results from the establishment of the steam machinery. Two men, experienced workmen, havo arrived in accordance with instructions from Wood it Co., Philadelphia, and a-c at work in the custom house, giving the heating appaiatus a general and needed overhauling. Messrs Wood k Co. are the original builders of the apparatus and are thoroughly acquainted with its needs. The government has negotiated with them for the repairs to be made, and expects to sp?r. d al xv,u one thousand dollars in their accomplishment. Among other things it is prohibit? that the steam pipes leading to the nvim now u-ej as the signal office will le eaUr.'ed s.i as to make it, what it has not be?n in the past, comfortably warm duri: the winter. A r?p rvr of IS. G.

For over f j:r weka the farmers have been unable to d- the n.-.nal fII work aud marketing. Grain in v:ic is much damaged. Pota tfi and r.ot in the fields aro rotting in t: ), Much corn in shocks has sprouted and is ruined, and the outlook generally is had, he believes, for the farmers to get their produce to market. All this will prove disastrous to country merchants. He be.ieves the damage to w heat in stacks and in nhocks in the field is very Bcrious. Several Cairo business men havo taken silver dollars, commonly called "Daddy Dollars," which are probably the best counterfeit ever put in circulation. Tho bogus dollar is beautifully made aud has a slight iron nppearanco which is often found in genuine standard dollars. It is Bilver plated and acid doeB not affect it un less the surface is scratched up. Tho weight is the marvelous point in the deception. The counterfeit as it stands would pass in size easily and its weight would not be de tected on uhy but a fino scale. It weighs 08 per cent, of the genuine, while tho aver ago good counterfeit docs not weigh more than 7.'5 or 80 per cent. Tho ring is excel lent, and the silver plating hs obviated tho usual greasy feeling in counterfeit dollars. The coin is almost perfect, and will un doubtedly create much trouble in business circles. Tho date of tho coin is 1878, al though that may bo changed in tho futuro by tho makers. The experts at tho sub treasury pronounce it tho most dangerous counterfeit dollar that has ever appeared. Tho Bloomington Bulletin, speaking of the sad death of Mary Baugh, in this city, after speaking of the temptations surround ing her and describing tho manner of her deatii, as given in these columns at the timo of its occurrence, Bays: "But in Mary Baugh 'h frail body beat tho heart of a moral heroine. Pure in mind and heart, all her instincts rebelled against tho bad influences of her n.other, and living in tho atmosphere of a saloon, with the surround ings that temperance people tell us aro tainted with all moral impurities, Mary Baugh lived a lifo as pure as unsunnod, snow, The pains of death wero brief. 8ho died almost immediately and wus forever removed, by her own election, from tho sorrow and tho shame that had environed her ysung lifo.

If heaven wero not mado for such as she, who is good enough and pure enough to walk its golden streets?

DO The affirmation that Mr. Skinner, for merly of tho Wabash railroad, used the language attributed to him in a recent issue of Tiik Bulletin, unlike tho denial, tests not upon anonymous, but upon responsible authority a reputable newspaper. If Mr. Skinner was wronged, he will probably care enough for his reputation to deny that he used the infamous language. Until he docs so "officials of the Wabash Railway Co ", having no knowledge of the facts, but judging only from what manner of tele grams ouoiiT to pass hetween "oincials who are cultivated gentlemen," and be lieving that "official correspondence is not couched in Btreet boys' language" should hold their peace; for their denial is not of sufficient weight. The Announcement previously made that Rev. B. Y. flenrgo would speak to the temperance people at Reform hall caused a large crowd to assemble there last even ng. As was proven by subsequent events, the audience was not composed exclusively of men and women who have always been indentified with the temperance work since its inception in this city, but that there were present a r umber who wero not formerly connected with tho club. Mr. 0. M. Aldcn occupied the chair and introduced Mr. George, after a formal open ing of tho meeting. Tho speaker occupied tho stand for about an hour, during which ho satisfied his audience, by the combined power of eloquence and argument, that nothing but total abstinence was a sure guarantee against drunkenness. Ho was often interrupted by tho hearty applause of his hearers. After Rev. Georgo had finished, the chairman, in a few well-chosen words, called upon thnso who pretended to bo in sympathy with tho purposes of tho club, but who were not active members thereof, to manifest more enthusiasm, to boldly announce th ir sympathy, became activo members and thus encourage, rather than discourage, those who wero devoting their time, minds and moans to tho furtherance of the good cause Mr. Aldcn concluded by requesting all present, who were not members of tho club and wearers of tho red or white ribbon, to como forward, sign the plcdgo and re ceivo the ribbon whilo tho nudionco sang "Come, Brothers, Will You Jnin Ufl," to which request four men rcspondod. Tho chairman thon announced that tho officers of tho Tcmpcranco Allianco and tho organization of Good Tomplars would meet for tho transaction of business at Reform ball next Monday evon- inrf. and that the Young Temporanco Peo- pie would hold their regular mooting at tho samo place next rrwsy evening, i no benediction, by Rov.

These phrases are from the sweet girl graduates w ho stand up in the month of roses and read charmimr essiivs on "The Real and the Ideal," "Life As It Shoud Be," "Reform," and other practical sub jects, and who turn from admiring teach ers, to whom they have been listening with mock serious cyep, to sny in a low aside, v"IIe's giving us taffy, girls," and who christen everything that does not pleaso them as "snide."
