Health, therefore, as well as personal attractiveness is promoted by the use of BOZUDUK r, pare in composition, agreeable in flavor, prompt and effective in its purifying action, and economic, since only a few drops upon the brash are needed at time.

The Morgan succeeded in cutting her way through the ice to ths Iron Mountain incline at Bird's Point yesterday morning and will probably transfer trains at usual hereafter. A joint resolution has been offered in the U. 8. senate for the immediate appro priation of $1,000,000 for ths Mississippi river improvement as asked for by the com mission and recommended by the president. -The president sent a special mssssge to congress, transmitting the report of the Mississippi river commission, which aaks for an immediate appropriation of a million dollars to complete the work below Cairo The president asks for the passage of a separate bill as soon as possible en this subject.

The Brooklyn Eagle aays: "Chaste and refined without a suggestive inuendo, a merrier crowd never filed out of the thea tre. Every scene, character and line ii productive of the heartiest kind of laugh ter." Referring to "Our Strategists" st the Opera House to-night. The citizens of New Grand Chain, III., have petitioned congress for an appropria tion of $50,000,000 to be apportioned among the states for educational purposes. Capt Thomas oresented the modest request to the lower house of congress, and it was re ferred to the committee on education. The fire alarm last evening wss the ra- suit of a second breaking out of fire in the ruins ot the houses destroyed the night be fore. There was little or no occasion for the alarm, as the flame was but slight and was put out before the down town engines arrived. All the legal holidays of 1884 will fall on Thursday and Friday, as follows: Wash ington's birthday, on Friday, February 22; Good Friday, on the 11th of April; Decora tion day, on Friday, May 80; Fourth of July, on Friday, July 4 ; Thanksgiving, on Thursday, November 27th; Christmas, on Thursday, December 25. A band of Turks consisting of two men, a woman and child, tnree Dears, two donkies and a rickety wagon arrived in the city from somewhere in some way some time yesterday. They started to give street shows with their bears, but Chief Myers in terfered and ordered them to leave for any- here as soon ss possible, which they agreed to do. -Among the amendments to the laws andconstitutiont proposed in the United States senate Tuesday is one repealing section 277 of ths revised statutes, which requires all foreign vessels to unload at a port of entry prohibiting them from pass ing up our rivers. The pusage of this amendment would prove of great benefit to Cairo in the course of time. A thorough examination of tht mat tress improvements made on the banks in front of the city during the last few months, provss thtm to have acted like a charm during the recent brief high water. No damage either to them or the bank they ware intended to protect it visible. It is ikely, however, thst before long they will receive a severer tttt in which they will prove equally effective. The wedding of Mr. W. D. Lippett and Mias Fannie Pitcher is fixed for Tues-1 day morning, tht 15th. It will be a private wadding, only a ftw intimate friands hav ing been invited. But for this fact it would ba one of the grand social events of the season, tor no two young people enjoy more fully the friendship and high esteem of the entire community than they do. They will have the hearty congratulations and many wishss for a bright future, of Thb Bulle tin. There is more slush in the streets of cities now than in the newspapers; but the intelligent reading public will probably perceive that this state of things is not se much the fault of the newspapers as of the elements not so much because of a rise on the part of the enterprising press as of a fall in the thermometers and barome ters ot the country. On second thought, however, we would prefer not have this appologetic reasoning applied to the Cairo press. This morning for the first time since the close of the Mississippi, back ot the city, will the W. B. Duncan bring over the Tens and Bt. Louis passenger train from Bird' Point. The incline of thia road is about four hundred feet below that of the Iron Mountain and the Duncan has been hri at work for several days breaking the ice from in front of it. She succeeded yes terday morning in reaching the toot of the incline and made some transfers yesterday afternoon in the usual way. Alter this she will probably make her usual trips and trains will be transferred at utual. An opinion that is of considerable im portance to stock men has just been ren uerud by the railroad and warehouse com mission. A. J. Streeter, of New Windsor, III., complained that the Chicago, Burling ton Se Quincy railroad has charged him on a car load of stock, more than the lawful rate. The rosd set up the defense that the car in question was thirty feet long, where as the standard car it but twenty -eight feet long. The extra charge was made on the basis of the legal rate, and was for extra car room furnished. The commissioners decide that their schedule rate applies to car loads, irrespective of the tize of the csr, and that in the cue under considera tion the railroad company had made an overcharge. Near 9 o'clock last night Mr.Ssbastian Bsrtb, of the Postofflce ssloon, accompanied by Mr. Jemet Meehan, paid Tib Boixitiv office a visit on business, and as he started to go down the stairs on leaving he made misstep and fell headlong down to the foot of the stairs, where Mr. Meehan found him lying in an insensible condition and bleed ing from a wound in the head. Dr. Parker was immediately summoned snd Mr. Bartb waa conveyed back up stairs. Examination proved that Mr. Bartb was bleeding from a bad cut in bis scalp just over the left ear, and was otherwise bruised about the bend His injuries were not serious, but it is by the meerest accident that they were not He soon recovered sufficieutly from the shock to walk honm. Jack Frost yesterday sued Walter Cun diff, in Justice J. H. Robinson's court, for $100 claimed to b due him from the said Cundiff. Plaintiff had been in the employ of dofendant fur about a year, and it ap pears that there has arisen a difference of opinion between the two as to what the former was to receive per day for his services. One claims it wss $1.25 per day, the other that it was $1.00. The plaintiff was represented by Mr. Geo, W. Hendricks, and the defendant by Mr, W. C. Mulkey. The case was concluded, and the courn took it under advisement, The very intelligent readers of The Bul letin will, of course, understand that the plaintiff in this case was not the "Jack Frost" who has, for ten days past, com milted such murderous assaults upon the thermometers of this section of the coun try. The Abe Lincoln Mutual Life and Accident society, which takes the place of the Widow's and Orphan's Mutual Aid society, is now firmly established, with J. II. Robinson as president and Mr. Thomas Lewis as secretary. The latter has been actively engaged in bringing about the re organization and has succeeded in getting nearly all the members of the old society to join the new organization, besides many who were not members of the old society. A very attractive feature of the new society is the accident insurance, which entitles the holder of a policy to $25 per week in case be or she is disabled ia an accident not result ing from the voluntary act of the insured Secretary Lewis says that new members have been added at the rate of about seven ty-five per diy, since the new organization has been thoroughly under way. A nsgro named Edward Dillard, alias , alias, alias, created a disturbance in Scott's Congress about 1 :30 o'clock yes terday morning and was shot in the left breast by ths bar-keeper, Charles Jones, the ball glancing off and creating only a flesh wound. Both were arrested by Officers Cain and Boughner immadiately after tht occurrence and yesterday brough betore Magistrate Comings for examination cr trial. Dillard, etc., etc., exhonorated Jones from all blame In the matter; saying that he himself was the aggressor snd that Jones only did what be ought to have done. Jones was, of course, discharged upon this testimony. But charges of disorderly con duct were preferred by the officers against each ot the prisoners sud each was fined $10 and costs. Dillard was given a stay of execution on condition that he would leave town. The fire of erly yesterday morniag broke out in the roof of the bouse occupied by Mr. John Koehler, atter the house had been closed for the day, and all but a boy, who sleeps there and "opens up" in the morning, left. The origin was presumably a defective flue. The house was occupied down stairs as a saloon and up stairs was unoccupied, though furjished. Mr. Koehler was insured for $500 on his personal pos sessions in the house. The house was own ned by Mrs. Lenn&han and was not insured. The house next below which was also de stroyed, was occupied as a butcher shop and residence by Mr. A. Lum nor, who saved nearly all stock, fixtures and furnitures, and holds insurance for what is lout. The house was owned by Mr. Thomas O'Callahan, and was insured for 500 in the Wells & Kerth agency. Mr. Richard Welsh, who occupied the building next below as a grocery store and had a lare stock, probably lost con siderable by having his goods removed and all heaped up promiscuously in the street. One of the great eastern "Protection ist" dailies says, "1883 1ms not been re garded as a good year. From the outset it has had a bid reputation. It has been a yenr of universal distrust and apprehen sion. Business men in the United States have plodde I or staggered along from month to month, oppressed with the haunt ing thought that a panic was impending. They have been over cautious and unduly auspicious, and havo passed the year fight ing shadows. Bradstreet reports 10,187 failures this year about one-third more than in 1882, about 66 per cent, more then in 1881 and 110 per cent, more than in 1880. There is complaint of dullness in the iron trade iu this country and reduction of wages in that and the cot ton and woolen branches of manufacture is in some quarter proposed. The tbnnksge in volume of business here, other than in stocks, will be close to 20 per cent, for the whole year 1888, in comparison with 1882, of which a part is due to decide in prices, but probably more than hslf to com parative inactivity in trade." And tht Louisville Courier-Journal replies pointedly, "this reads more like the wild Republican predictious of what would happen under a Democratic Administration, than like the actual record of a year under Republican regime." latest Dispatches. riffhtlasr atosmttk Chicago, Jan. 10. A Wsussu, Wis., epeeiai says ntwt Has been re ceived there of a fight be twoen tbs bands of the Chippewa and tbt Pottawattomla Indians belonging on re servations In that State.
