vention in session In this city was pre-
scented at the opera house last night

At the conclusion of the program
Col. John l.. Vance, president of the

made a short talk in which he ex
pressed his thanks and appreciation
for the reception the Cairo people had
extended the delegates. Col. Vance
spoke eloquently Of the work of the
Association and told how some day
when the nine foot stage was a reality
how Cairo would. grow to be one OF
the largest and most important cities
Of the country.

While it Is assured that the Kitty
league will be greater in 1906 than
ever before and that the charter and
protection OF the National association
will not be forfeited, ii Is recognized
by baseball promoters over the circuit
that some sweeping reforms must be
inaugurated If the organization is TO
continue In existence Especially Is It
necessary that some radical action be
taken to keep the various local asso-
Citations within the salary limit. Dur
ing the past season very few towns
observed the limit fixed by the by
laws of the league, and the result was
disastrous to the organization. 1t IS
proposed that the local clubs be re-
quired not only to FURNISH each other
with certified copies of all contracts.
but also to submit sworn statements
Of their monthly pay rolls. Practically
every association in the league vio-
lated the salary limit last year, Cairo,
Paducah. Vincennes and Princeton
permitting their pay rolls to run
away above $500.

Cairo Meeting Fruitful OF Good
ResuIts-PrOspects Bright
For the Ohio Improve

What Col John L. Vance and the
other officers of the association say
was the most important meeting In
the history of the Ohio Valley I'M
proyement association came TO an end
vest rday afternoon
II had been planned TO have the con.
vention last three days bur owing to
the speedy manner in which the work
was carried on for the first two days,

Much Routine Business
Yesterday.
The routine business of yesterday
was the election Of officers, the adop
ton of set of resolutions and the
selection of the place for holding the
xxi annual convention.
There were several candidates for
the convention but all gracefully
yielded to Portsmouth, Ohio
The forenoon session was occupied
largely by the memorial to The late
John F, bravo, of Pttsburg, and Mr.,
T. Frank Tiley. of Pitrsburg, sup
plemented the report of the me
moral committee with a personal
eulogy OF the esteem in which the
lamented member was held by himself
ami all who knew him Albert Bet
finger and Capt. Ellison, of Cine matt
added their tributes to the memory Of
the deceased.
The Cairo convention was made
famous by the assurance given that
the United States is now definitely
committed to nine foot stage for the
entire river This assurance, given
primarily by the change Of the upper
SIX dams to nine foot stage and the
appointment Of a commission of engi-
nears TO report upon the adyisahility
of improving the entire river so as 10
give a nine foot stage was emphasized
in the speeches and resolutions.

CONVENTION SIDE LIGHTS

IL was a noticeable fact that every
delegate and visitor at the opera house
yesterday had a copy of The Bulletin
in his hand or conspicuously apparent
in his pocket Hundreds of other
copies had been mailed to friends at
home for reasons that are obvious.
Cairo people evinced a good deal
more interest in the proceedings of the
o. Y. |. A. convention yesterday, and
the attendance was noticeably larger.
The Murphysboro band of twenty
eight pieces made quite an attractive
appearance yesterday as It paraded
the streets in the natty blue uniform
of its members. The music was cool,
too. Pity Cairo can't have such a

Union Stock Yards, Chicago, August
22.-Under increasing receipts western
cattle values declined 1925 cents last
week. Prospects are for a big run
this week. Some 5000 arrived today,
and the market was weak to 10 cents
lower. A load of very choice 1,36O-lb.
North Dakota rangers sold at $5.05,
top price this season, and 50 heifers OF
the same brand, averaging 1928 lbs,
made $4.25. A train of 1,241-lb. x. l..

DR.. Salmon's obnoxious order of
July 9th has been rescinded and ship
pers will mot be compelled to unload
cattle en- route to market, provided
they are in cars fitted with appliances
for feeding and watering. The origi-
nal 28-hour law remains in force but
is not likely to be rigidly enforced as
the railways are not in condition to
handle the business if it were. Secre-
tary Wilson and DR.. Salmon were in
Chicago several days last week and in
vestigated the situation thoroughly.
These officials saw very clearly from
practical illustration at the Chicago
Stocy Yards that the strict enforce
ment of the above law would work
great injury to shippers and they will
doubtless use due discretion in the
matter hereafter.
The sheep market is off a trifie to-

Feeding lambs are very strong, selling
up to $40 today. The supply of feed

figure.
