A negro hi-uriug the click of a gun and forthwith making his identity known, saved himself from being sho; one li ght last week. Tae negro is em ployed at a home up town and th.1 man with the gun resides next door The latter keeps a death dealing gun in a closet fir emergency pur pos.'S. unloaded to prevent accident, but within easy reach a good supply of sheila. On ibis particular night he wis awakened by a noise in the rear yard and going to the window saw a man walking about. Believing that the man was a robber, he rushed to the closet and securing tiie gun ana some hells hurried back to the rear win ow. Kn route he broke the gun and nscned a shell and when near the window snapped the gun in position or service. It was this click that warned Ihe negro iu the yard that someone was at the window and as he saw the muz- e nf the gun pointing out of th. window in his direction, he knew it was high time for him to make h'm self known. "It's me mistah " he cried. "What are you doing down there his hour of the night?" was asked. The negro explained that he had been kept from sleeping by some cats courting in the yard and had gotten up and climbed the fence to drive thera away. "Cats or no cats." replied th? man with the gun, "you get out of there as fast as you can and don't you ever be caught in this yard again." It is needless to say that the negro got away in post haste and will never again attempt to enter that yard at night even if all the cats of the en tire neighborhood congregate there and hold a Cairo convention.

' ' ' . v.'.' s, e. .-.- Mrs. Zion Bishop and daughter, Miss Mable. Anna .Haynes, have returned from a ten days' visit to the former's laughter, Mrs: R. A, Blanchard, at Memphis. Tenn. is. estimated that fully two hundred gallons of that commodity are shippe out of this city each week in jugs and that hundreds of cases of beer also go to "wet the whistles" of thirsty ones in adjoining states. In speaking of the wh'skey buslne a few days ago the manager of a well known mail order whiskey house said "No, our business doesn't fall off in the summer, although one would nat urally suppose that it would. Our biggest patrons are farmers in th states adjoining and they enjoy thei nips In the summer as well as din ing the winter months. If any thin the business is larger for every thirst farmer has many equally thirsty farm hands and harvesters to keep paeifiet and an occasional sniff at the black bottle adds zest to their labor. Con sequently he deems it money well spent to provide them with a moder-j ate quantity of the juice of the rye each day. And besides, you know, snakes are more numerous in the ! summer than when there is snow on the ground and a store must be kepi as medicine in case of a bite. That is my joke. "The farmer likes something that he can feel going all the way down and would a good deal rather have a good pull of h'gh proof whiskey out of a jug while in the field than he would to have a cold bottle of beer. And too, one point he considers in making his purchases is the difference in tho expense of the two drinks. Beer costs him more in the long run when you consider that it is not good unless kept on ice. But at that a number of the more prosperous residents of these "dry" towns get a case of beer regularly every faw days." WEATHER CONDITIONS. A cyclonic disturbance of consider able intensity centers this morning off the New England coast. Slight depres slons, or disturbances, center in Ar kansas. Arizona and in the north Pac ific slope. An extensive area of high pressure attended by unseasonably cool weath er, centers in t'ae northwest. Tem peratures ranging as low as 44 degrees were reported this morning from North Dakota. AVithin the last. 24 hours showers have occurred along the Atlantic coast, in Arkansas, southern Illinois Pennsylvania, Minnesota, South Dako ta, Colorado, southern Arizona, and southeastern Montana. Washington Bulletin. AVashington, Jul 31. The following is the weather forecast for Illinois for the next 24 hcurs: Fair Tuesday and Wednesday; light north winds becoming variable. Special to The Bulletin. The story of Nance Olden. Philadl phia charity waif, pick-pocket, belt boy at a swell Brooklyn hotel and Broadway vaudeville sketch artist, reads mure like a romance than real life. With a valuable watch deftly "lifted" from the pocket of Edward Ramsey, millionaire slock broker and niau-abouMown, in, l passed to her by her confederate and lover, Tom Dorgan, late of the House cf Refuge, she eluded every policeman but one in plain clothes and sought refuge in the ladies' waiting room of the Penn sylvania railway s-tatkm. An object bf suspicion on the part of the officer she coolly appropriated a $IU0 chin chilla coat and collar, in exchange for her own wraps, and so disguised es caped for the moment to the street. Hard pressed by the uncertain sleuth she at last succeeded in throwing him off the scent, baffiol, by calmly enter ing the smartert carriage in sight, awaiting its owner, Bishop Mills D. Van Wagenen, and drove triumphant ly away to safety with that gentleman before he discovered that the carriage contained another occupant. As events proved, however, the trib ulations of the Olden had but barely commenced. She had yet to devise a plausible excuse for leaving her un conscious preserver. Touched by the entleness and kindness of Bishop Van Wagenen, she is shocked to find htat she has unintentionally placed him in a most embarrassing position. comprising to the distinguished pre late and dangerous to herself. The situation was one calling for an active display of ail of the ingenuity and daring possessed by this resourceful and original produce of "the Cruelty" (Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Children). Nance must rejoin her "pal" and dispose of the "swag," still on her porsoii, which could only be ac complished by the greatest risk anil which i;;, in fact, attended by numer ous hair breadth escapes and excit ing experiences, the recital of which constitutes the most vivid and ab- sorbing narative f modern times. The Bulletin lias been fortunate enough to secure the exclusive serial rights of this out-of-the-ordinary piece of fiction and the opening chapters will appear in its issue of next Fri day, August 4th. It is a story you should not fail to read, one you will complete if you start with the open ing chapters. There is love, advent tire, pathos, comedy and right trium phal in it this story of the New York girl thief. Secure the opening chapters in next Friday's Bulletin or you will miss the literary treat of the season. PROMPT PAYMENT BY THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

A venerable professional man had a joke played on b'm last week that he did not appreciate. The joke not only caused this well-known citizen to an swer many questions from anxious friends but it resulted in a money expenditure on his part of $4. Mr. in order to be more comfortable slipped off his shoes when he reached his office. A client came in so suddenly that the gentleman did. not have t me to correct the tie flciency, in his wardrobe and excusing himself conducted business In his sock feet. The" client left and Mr. (his regular title will be omitted), no ticed nothing wrong until he got ready to go to supper when to his horror It dawned upon him that, the client had carried off one of his siioes. He had no others in his office and he had to 'go to supper. After much searching around he found an old pair of carpet slippers and putting one of them on his shoeless foot he quietly made hlg way down Commercial ave nue to the nearest shoe store, On the way everyone he knew in sisted upon being told how he hurl his foot. Tacks were the handiest thing he could think of and there are doubtless B great many people In the city today who are waiting anxiously When the county commissioner meet next September they will under take the big job of making the tax levies for the ensuing year. For the past t wenty or thirty years no special levies have been made by the com missioners but Instead all the levies were put into a general fund, but a decision handtu down last winter by the supreme court it showed that this manner cf taxation is illegal and in direct violation of the law. In consequence of this decision the commissioners will set about, at their next meeting making appropriations for the different county offices, poor farm, maintainance of public roads and bridges, the courts, etc., and on the total of these various appropriations they will found their basts of taxation Out of the one hundred and two counties In the state eighty five of them have for the past twenty ot thlr ty years been making incur tax levies In the same manner as has been pursued In this county. The le gality of the methr) 1 was never ques tloncd until the Chicago and System railroad took up another matter to the Supreme court, and incidentally it was brought to light that, taxes le vied for general fuuds instead of for the different funds described by law, were Illegal and therefdre property owners were not compelled to pay taxes so assessed. No one, however, took advantage of this technicality but next year the commissioners, to avoVi a possibility of such action will make Ihe assessments as prescribed by law. The state law allows the county only 75 cents on th one hun dred dollars and the amount collected must be divided among the different funds and after each fund Is exhausted for the fiscal year all claims against It must lay over until the next year. SISTER M. ROSE DEAD Member of the Order of the Holy Cross and Sister of Mr. John Crow ley Died at South Bend, Ind. Sister M. Rose, a sister of Mr. John C. Crowley of this city, d ed in St. Jos eph's hospital in South Bend, Indiana at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. She was a member of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, the Mother house be ing at Notre Dame, Ind. She under went a surgical operation for the re moval of a turner on July 13th, and has been gradually sinking since. Sister Rose left the home of her uncle, John Howloy in Cairo in 1870 to join the order. She has been sta tioned In var'ous houses of the order throughout the United States, her last mlss'cn having been in St. Cecllia'R Academy, Washington, D, C. Her death leaves Mr. Crowley the only surviving member of a family of seven brothers and sisters. It is a great satisfaction for a woman to (eel that she can write to anothertellingher the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that her letter will be seen by a wo- j man only, a wo man full of sym pathy for her sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has bad more experience iu treating female ills than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pink ham every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been go ing on for twenty years, day after day. Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experi ence, especially when it is absolutely free. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con fidence of women, and every testimo nial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women tuav be benefited as thev have been. Mrs. Fred Seydel. of '412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mra. Pinkham: " Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as I had female ills and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your kind li-tter 01 instructions and followed your advice. I am not only a well woman in con sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. I wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so niucn tor me. Just as surely as Mrs. Sevdel was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female Ills. No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as lias Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore 110 prudent woman will accept any substi tute which a druggist may offer. If you are sick, write Mrs.-Pinkham, Lynn. Mass , for special advice.
