THEBES.

A new railroad is one OF the things
now being whispered which may add
greatly TO the impetus of the Greater
Cairo" movement and tina the Chica-
go and Eastern Illinois railroad will
soon extend its line into Cairo from
Tamms, III, is the belief of many who
are familiar with the workings of
that road
For years the c. and E. company
has wanted access to this city and,
with such move in view, purchased
tract of land lying north of Thirty
second street and west of the old fair
ground addition between the old
levee tor between what is known as
Levee street, and the Mississippi
levee proper on which the Mobile and
Ohio railroad runs into Cairo, There
is twenty or twenty-five acres in this
piece of ground and it was purchased
by the president of the c. and Il. l. a
few years ago.
About two years ago a corps of G.
and L. I. surveyors came through
Alexander county TO Cairo They sur
yeyed a route this way as far as the
new levee. 1t is well known that
President Carpenter, Of the road al
tina time. desired 20 run into Cairo,
but for some reason never succeeded
in carrying ont his plans,
Msy Build Both Ways.
A we'll defined rumor is in cireula-
ton that the c and f. l. will soon dis
pose OF its line from Thebes to Olive
Branch 10 the Illinois Central It
will then build across the county from
Tamms direct to Thebes II viii also
build from Tamms 70 Cairo
One reason for this belief is that
che ground owned by the road as men
toned above. has been in the name Of
John +. Windsor and Eliza l.. Wind
sor. his wife, for some time and that
a deed was received at the circuit
clerks office recently transferring
the property from them to Jonathan
p. Reeves. assistant treasurer Of the
c. and +. l. Before the deed was re.
corded a telegram was received ask.
ing that it be returned without re
curding. II is believed that there was
some alteration to be made in the
deed and it may be returned here for
record any day The deed was
and The consideration was
only 81 showing that the land be.
longed to the railroad and was in the
name Of Mr.. and Mrs. Windsor II
was received here on the 21st and the
telegram was received two days later

Commissioners After Two and One Half
Hours Conference Adjourn Until Ger
tain Points Are Settled by Sub-com-
mittse-sweden Win Sign Treaty.

Karlstadt, Sept. ls.-Norwegian and
Swedish delegates were in conference
two and a half hours today and ad.
journed to meet when an agreement was
reached on certain points which were
submitted TO subcommittee.
A certain element in Norway is op-
posing the proposed terms Of agreement
thus placing a difficulty in the way Of
the delegates. 1t is understood that as
basis of an agreement Sweden has
promised to sign an arbitration treaty
as soon as Norway recognized as a
separate state, while Norway agrees
to destroy all of her new frontier for
tiiications. The other conditions are
still under consideration.
The Norwegian premier, NJ. Michel
sen and one OF the commissioners au-
thorized the following statement:
"The reports regarding the mobiliza-
tion in Norway are greatly exaggerat.
ed and are probably circulated with the
intention of creating a sensation. In
any case no more troops will be destinee
TO the frontier while the conference is
sitting.

Firms Name to Whom the Checks
Were Issued-Makes Full Confession.

Washington, Sept. ls.--James W.
Boyd, clerk in the Public Health and
Marine hospital service was arrested to-
day on a warrant charging him with
embezzlement.
The discovery Of facts leading to
the charge was made last Thursday in
Boyd's absence, and the amount alb
stracted will, according to Boyd's own
confession reach not less than $4,000.
Boyd's duty was to prepare bills for
the approval of the surgeon general,
and when the checks were signed, they
were delivered to him to be mailed to
persons for whom they were intended.
1t is charged that he manipulated the
bills by erasipg the dates and amounts
on duplicates lett in the Office and he
secured the money on the checks by
on them the names of the
firms to which they were issued. The
alleged defalcation has been in progress
for the past three years and Boyd was
not suspected until his recent illness
