Jackson Goes Dry.

Last night as the clock was striking
the hour of twelve the lights went out
in the last legal liquor dispensary in
this city, and so far as open saloons are
concerned jackson is as dry as spow-
der horn" To say that this last place
did q good business is putting it rather
mild. A glance at the mad rushing
crowd of men that were constantly
pouring in and out last night was q
forcible reminder of the much talked
of Tub Mill" and the impression was
made on the mind of casusal observer,
that a large part of the population Of
jackson was reluctant at parting with
this seeming necessity to mans world
" happiness. Jackson Neics, June 9th.

Certain Features of the Capital Increase

Other General and Local
Raiiroad News.

The increase OF the Illinois Central Rail-
road Companys capital stock to $4,000 goo,
which will take place at the special meet
ing OF the directors on November 26, has
great significance in connection with Pres
ident Theodore c. Bates recent move
ments In the North end. 1t has long been
rumored that the Illinois Central is to be
one of the two or three great roads which
have a share in President Bates plans,
and are seeking an entrance into Kansas
City. The Chicago adviceS state that the
main purpose for which the increase Will
be made Will be for the purchase of the
Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern railway
which has been in the hands of receiver
of the $40 100000 that is to be applied to this
purchase is SI5OO,O 900, and of the balance
81 100000 is intended to be spent in carry
front This leaves $l,3O5OoO which the Off
cialS of the road at Chicago are most ret
icent about They declare that this sum
will probably he spent largely in improve
meuts over the entire system: The lth-
hood Is that this statement Is meant to
cover up the plans of the Illinois Central

The proposition Of the Illinois Central to
bridge the Mississippi lends color to the
Kansas City speculation.
The purchase Of the Chesapeake. Ohio &

gives the purchasing company IA direct
route between Memphis ana Louisville
and New Orleans and Louisville, and MAX
