attorneys, WIS read to the council
last night BY Judge Lansden
| Cairo, ILL.,, Jan. T. 1908.
| TO the Honorable, the Mayor, and
City Council Of the City Of Cairo.
Gentlemen: We have thought it
would be of interest to you for us to
lay before YOU a statement of what
has been done In the matter OF public
Improvements In the city since this
work was undertaken or entered upon
something less than two years ago
A very considerable amount OF
work had been undertaken during
Mayor Winters administration. ! but
it had all to be abandoned owing to
a decision of our supreme court as
tc the validity OF the act which had
been passed to allow cities to make
improvements without the necessity
OF petitions from property owners.
The first work done under the pres
ent law was begun In March 1906. and
since that time the following ordi-
nanees have been passed and assess
menfs made under the same, except
that the assessments for improving

The fire started at 2 p. m.
The Lookout Inn was erected a.
bout eighteen years ago and atonce
became and has continued to be a
popular summer resort because of
the healthfulness Gifts location and
the magnificent view Of Chatta-
nooga aud its environs, and the
great ranges of mountains of five
adjoining states.
It has been the meeting place of
many national gatherings and is
surrounded on all sides by scenes
of great historic interest in cOnnec-
ton with the civil war. It has been
owned and controlled for years by
Cincinnati parties in connection
with John Shamoltulski, a local
capitalist.
The hotel was not closed for the
season, but only a few guests re.

Nothing Heard of Kemp.
Nothing has been heard of the err
ing young man since the receipt OF
his letter from Ell Paso. The presump-
ton is he was well on his way to his
unknown destination when the letter
reached here. Kemp spent several
years in the interior of Mexico and it
was thought likely he returned to that
country He is originally from Chi
cago, where his people now live, and
he may have gone to that city.
His friends are still at loss to ac-
count for his conduct which seems
stranger the more one thinks of it.
If he was downright crooked it seems
strange that he would send any word
back and it seems strange. too. that

Douglas he would pay one firm.
which was not pressing him, more
than $50, the last item of which was
paid the Saturday he left here.
1t is not unlikely that Kemp became
discouraged and respondent within
the past week 1t is known that he
was in i'll health, suffering from heart
trouble and still another affliction.
This, together with one or two Incl,
dents that occurred of a private and
personal character that might have a
tendency to make him respondent,
may have been responsible for the

DOUGLAS. June 17.-(SpeciaL) -
Considerable comment has been cali
ed forth regarding the large number
of 81 and 50 bill now in circulation in
this city. A reporter called at one OF
the local banks yesterday where he
was met by the explanation that they
were responsible for the invasion Of
this dinero OF the effete east. The
reason that we have been paying out
these small bills said tae cashier is
this. Ordinarily Uncle Sam pays all
express charges on silver ordered by
banks, or on shipments ordered by
private persons, which expense is met
by an annual appropriation by con-
gress for that purpose. On account Of
the unusual demand for silver during
the past few months this fund has be
come exhausted and express charges
on shipments ordered from the treas
ury have to be met by the eonsignee
The rate 10 points in Arizona is seven
dollars per thousand, against probably
seventy five or eighty cents on thous-
and dollars in one and two dollar bills
Some people censure us for putting
them out, others welcome them and
say they are preferable. However, the
chances are that the public win stand
IN favor Of the silver dollar as they
represent something tangable when
you get a few of them in your pocket"
