blow that Coroner McManus after OK

evidence ordered the barkeeper. Firas

coroner refused to permit It, ordering
that Dodson be held without bail ~
await developments.
This is the second time within a
week that Beckwith's place has come
into public eye In an unpleasant way.
The other case was recorded in this
paper at the time-the case of a
young girl from Tennessee, who com
planned to an officer that she had been
accosted by Beckwith on the street
and induced TO accompany him 10 the
house under a promise OF employment
ard that she found on going there that
she had been enticei into disrepu.
table place. Chief Egan and other
officers agree dat the girl impressed
them as an innocent country girl
but Beckwith's friends swore her
character away and he was acquitted,
There is ample reason to believe
that Beckwiths place is one of those
designated as a dive--a
house Of prostitution as well as a
tough saloon resort Such places are
not to be tolerated in Cairo. The peo

MUCH WORK IN SIGHT.

There is likely to be plenty of work
for the Cairo Contracting T., Dredging
Company right in the city OF Cairo for
many years to come. No doubt at all
can exist in any reasonable mind that
this city will grow vastly in population
during the next decade, and 1t is en-
tirely within the range of probability
that the population of the city will be
80 900 within five yeas. The most
conservative estimates fix this as a
low figure. some going as high as
10000 But will probably not be
necessary to enter into an elaborate
and exhaustive statement of facts and
figures TO demonstrate that there Is
sure to be such an increase in popula-
tion as will necessitate widening of
the city limits as fixed by the seven
miles of levees surrounding It, AS was
stated by Mr.. A. T. DeBaun few
days ago. so much of the thirteen hun
dred acres of ground enclosed within
the market to be devoted to the needs
of railroads that those seeking resi-
dence property and manufacturing
sites will be compelled to so outside
the leyees In avery few years There
may be room within the levees for
10000 people comfortably, there may
be room for $4,000 If they will crowd
themselves together. but there is not
room for 10000 and that we will have
10000 people in Cairo within five
years seems so certain that IT is hard
ly debatable question among mon
who can read the signs of the times
aright-signs which are not specn-
iative or problematical. but are in the
nature Of events already here whose
effects are as certain as shadows on a
Hunshiny day. Hh
And wherelwill these people go?
They will go either into the Drainage
District. north of the city. or they
will go into new Drainage District
that viii be created by the building Of
a levee which viii enclose that several
thousand acres of ground which the
Mississippi river has made for MS on
the west side of the city
If an Improvement company should
be organized which would build this
levee and pump the district full to the
topic a point several feet beyond
the highe water ever known-what
an ideal site for a city II would make
end what wild rush there would be
for lots and blocks Of ground for all
the purposes of thriving and grow
ing community
More than likely both the north
side and the west side districts viii
be needed for the Greater Cairo Of
the next decade The railroads and
commercial and manufacturing plants
viii crowd into the west side and resi-
dence seekers win probably go into
the north side district-and in either
care vast amount Of filing must y
done which should be done By the
company which will be organized at

SELLING IN STOCKS.
Acute Pressure In Liquidation Causes
 Lapse In Market.

New York, April 26-There was acute pressure of liquidation in the stock mar ket at the outset today. The selling was the general outcome of the conditions pre- cipltated by the San Francisco disaster and the losses growing out of 1t, and di- rect liquidation was traceable to the ae- count of the fire insurance companies, which are driven to provide money for meeting the heavy losses. The sharp de- cline in prices of the last few days has had the result of reducing margins and in some cases wiping them out The forced character of the selling was easily per eeptible and the bears helped the decline and took advantage of the necessities of those who were obliged to sell long stocks. The high grade investment stocks and seasoned dividend payers of char acter usually found in the treasury of in- surance companies were conspicuous in the declines.
 During the course of the morning losses of 1 10 points were fairly general all through the list. Reading showed some evidence of support and the occasional rallies when the over extending shorts were driven to cover centered on that stock Consolidated Gas also acted well on the reduction in it's quarterly divi- dend rate to 1 per cent thus cutting In half the recently prevailing rate. This stock declined ? points early, but later ruled above last nights level.
 Part of the losses were recovered late in the day when the pressure of liquida- ton relaxed, and bear operators bought to coVer their short contracts.

Christianity spreadlna in Japan.

From Leslies Weekly.
 Dr. William Elliot Griffls, who was formerly a professor in the Imperial University of Japan, and is one of the highest authorities in all matters per taining to that country, expresses 1t as his belief that the prospects for the spread of Christianity in Japan are much better now than they were be- fore the war. The fact that so many of the prominent generals and Japan csc statesmen under the new regime are professed Christians has undeni- ably given a great impetus to this faith among the common people. This prom ise is confirmed by the reports of mis- sionaries in Japan, and also by the American Tract society, which has maintained an extensive work in that country and In Corea. Among the cities from which in the last year have come requests for the permanent estab- lishment of administrative secretaries Is Tokio. In reference to the possible extension of the tract society's work, we are informed that Englands en- trance to Thibet has left its gates aja-, and that certain sacred" cities of Arabia seem about to pass out of their exclusions under the Sultan's rule.
