There can be no question in the
mind OF any reasonable man in Cairo
that the sentiment of the people OF
this city is most emphatically. and BY
an overwhelming majority. in favor
OF public Improvements. All the great
projects which have thus far been
presented for their con; liberation have
been approved with unanimity more
striking than the most ardent we'll
.wisher of the city could nave hoped
Tor.

Intimate that the advocates of public
improvements in Cairo are flying In the
fare Of the popular viii; and that alder

u has been stated by people who
ought to know that under favorable
conditions ice can be produced at les3
than one dollar per ton. and one would
think that the manufacturers of Cairo
are about as favorably situated as
they could hope to be. Their price Of
i0c PEI hundred Yields them So per
ton. less loss in handling which can
hardly be over ten per cent. But. be
this as 1t may, 1t is quite safe to say
that If the dealer of Kansas city can
bring in and pay freight on it, stand
ng the loss in transit and then sell it
for zoe per 100 there 3 no good reason
why manufactures should charge
consumers i0c and load them down
with various restrictions and condi
tions.

THE ICE TRUST.

\ Much has been said lately in vari-
Gus parts of the country about the
J ice trust" That complaint comes
Il From so many points seems to indicate
that ice manufacturers In all parts
Iof the country have. somehow, been
Edoing pretty much the same thing In
Cairo recently the price of ice was
advanced from so to 40 cents per 100
pounds, and a regulation was adopted
that no ice be sold to non-manufae.
turing dealers who have been com.
PEELED to send out OF the city for their
| ice.
But Cairo Is not as badly off as
come other points. In Springfield. ILL.,.
the trust advanced the price to IS
cents per 100 and requires the pur.
chase Of coupon books for 1000
pounds. Commenting upon this the
Register of that city says:
The editor of the State Register
spent few days in a city in south
eastern Kansas recently. That city has
no ice plant of it, own, but the deal
ers ship their manufactured ice in and
have to pay the freight, of course |
They get their ice from manufacture. |
from so to $50 miles away. One might |
think there was some excuse for these |
dealers charging little more than
they did last year. But they are selling |
It to family consumers and delivering |
Z at their doors In such quantities and /
as many days in the week as they de-
Sire FOR 30 cents hundred aud do
not require them to buy coupon books
Or tickets for any quantity. All fam
ly has TO do is to put a sign Ice on
he window or on the porch or at the
gate and the ice man responds when
passing"

WYOMING WANTS TROOPS.
Local Authorities Unable to Handle
the Unruly Utes.

Whether troops are sent to Wyoming to
suppress the unruly Ute Indians will prob
ably be settled by the government today.
Secretary Hitchcock day before yesterday
notified Gov. Brooks of Wyoming that
federal troops would not be sent unless
asked for Last night an appeal came
from the governor, addressed to the Sec
rotary Of the Interior. saying that the 10
cal authorities could not handle the In
dams and that troops must be sent.
Secretary Hitchcock. who has not wanted
to send troops, sidestepped this request by
saying that the application should be made
in formal shape to the President under
article 4, section A. Of the Constitution Of
the United States. 1t Is not known whether
or not Gov. Brooks had copy OF this
valuable reference book handy, but up to
noon today he had not replied. and 1t Is
possible he was sending east for copy
Of the Constitution to see just how his re-
quest ought to be worded.
Meanwhile the Utes are having good
time. Maj. Mclaughlin of the Indian Of
fee has done his utmost In getting forty
of the 800 Indians back to their reserva-
ton, and Is now en- route to Washington.
But the rest of them are still at large,
which, being citizens Of the United States,
they have perfect right to be-
There are no reports of serious disturb
ances SO far, but the state authorities al
ways have the satisfaction Of knowing
that the worst Is still to come. And the
outcome Of the situation is looked forward
to with interest.

Cancellation of Assessment Asked.

Suit has been filed in the Supreme Court
Of the District of Columbia by Alice Brooke.
a resident of Silver Hill. Md. against the
District of Columbia, asking the cancella-
ton of an assessment of $47O.77 levied
against sublot 26, square TO, for connecting
the houses on the lot with water and sewer
under the authority of act of Congress APP
proved May 10, 1896.
The petitioner contends that the assess
ment is invalid because the act, assuming
1t to be constitutional. was not complied
with by the municipal authorities, and fur
Their because the act itself Is unconstitu-
tional and void in that 1t discriminates be-
tween owners of real estate in the District
and because the act is not uniform and ca
pable of universal enforcement. 1t is stat
ed that the outcome of this litigation will
be of interest to many property owners.
