Next Thursday night will wit
ness great events at the opera
house, the occasion being the
seventh annual High Jinks" of
the local lodge of Elks, 1t is
poverty ball, and aHy Elk dar-
ing to enter the hall with
white collar on will be sentenc-
I'd to few years. He may get
fined if he don't wear white
collar too. Hard to tell. Any
way, there will be dancing,
cards for those who do not
dance, and best of all. there
will be big feed. The menu
that has been gotten out is
unique in every particular. The
Best People On Earth have a
knack for running social sess-

take hold of is finished to a T.
Any Elk that does not attend
will be sorrowful the rest of
his days, so take ed.-Wins-

There are quite a number Of
Elks here in Holbrook that are
members Of the Winslow lodge
and they should not fail to at

The Interstate Commerce COM
mission is holding an inquiry in
Washington relative to the use
or abuse of the block system on
railroads. -Four wrecks of great
magnitude and minor disasters
of late gave rise to the inquiry
and the result is likely to be very
startling revelations in railroad
methods. The testimony is to
bring out the fact that it is far
from uncommon to allow two
trains in a block at one time and
the laxity of railroad officials in
their supervision of employees in
charge of the blocks is only
equa1ed by the Indifference and
recklessness of employees them
selves. The railroads are wealth
ering bad times of late for not
only has the system of rebating
been abolished but passes too,
which furnished the roads, legal,
congressional and newspaper
immunity have been prohibited
and now the investigation into
the management of the block
system shows such a deplorable
state of neglect that there is
likely to be congressional actor
looking toward other necessary
but expensive reforms in the
roads.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.

Some interesting incidents trans

mercial situation yesterday. 1t de
veloped that a few men mad done q
thriving business by disc0unting the
Clearing House certificates, but these
will probably soon lose the confidence
OF the men of whom they have thus
taken advantage. Az a stand off tc
these there is steadily growing
number OF business men who offer 70
take the certificates at par. and One
even comes to the front this morning
Offering to take them at a premium Of
I s per cent in trade.
Very generally the reputable, intel
Jigent portion Of the community, In
all the walks Of life. are accenting the
certificates in good faith. They
realize that the action taken by the
hanks OF the city was for the good Of
all. II was to save the commercia.
ard Industrial interests OF the city
from such embarrassment rs would
have necessitated complete cessa,
ton Of activities. II does not take
any intricate system Of reasoning

the banks of community means car
be easily imagined.
Cairo bankers arc therefore to b.
highly commended for their action
They have saved themselves, Il Is
true. but they have saved also every
one Of their depositors, and they
have saved the business men of
Cairo 10 many of whom they have
loaned money In order that they may
continue In business-they have
saved the factories so that those can
continue operations, and the employ !
ers Of labor generally so that the
thousands of men who work for

and earn their wages and support
themselves and their families
All this orght to he recognized by
the people of Cairo and ought to b.
