on the lounge in an alcove out of sight.
She had been there some time when
the door was pushed gently open and
a young girl came into the room. She
walked softly over TO the dressin- Ia

as Mrs. Blank started TO call he ~

NEW ERA FOR CAIRO.

e.
There will be. little surprise this
morning over the announcement that
"the Mckinley people have bought
out the Cairo interests of the Cairo
Electric & Traction Company and the
Cairo City Gas Company The public
had an inkling some days ago that
this was in prospect, and even tai
heard some of the important details,
to which others were added as the
rumor flew. But doubtless there will
be a general expression of satisfac-
ton that the change has been made
because of the reasonable certainty
that some extensive and much needed
improvements will be made. and that
above all things else We will now be
assured of an interurban railway.
The Mckinley company and its as
sociates is one of the strongest rail
way concerns in the state. II has not
only an extensive system of interur-
ban railways, but owns local systems
for lighting and transportation IN
more than a score of cities In Illinois
How near its interurban system comes
to Cairo Is not definitely known fey
probably all of the short lines in OBJ
Grafton or projected in this part of
the state are indirectly fathered by
the Mckinley people; and 1t seems
safe to say that the requirement OF
the Cairo properties by these people
will mean connection with the general
interurban system of the state in the
very near future-for it Is clearly tn
purpose of the purchase to secure
Cairo as a southern terminal point
for this system.
Doubtless simultaneously with the
construction of the interurbau rail-
way. or perhaps preceding it. will
come the rebuilding of the Cairo sys.
tenn, new power house, new. up-to-
date equipment generally, new gas
making machinery, the erecting Of
depots and other buildings. establish
ment of yards, altogether invoI
wing an expenditure of some hundreds
of thousands of dollars in improve
ments in this city,, .s.
Everything considered, and as init
mated by Mr, Aisthorpe in the inter
view elsewhere. the first day of CcY
TENDER may be regarded as a great
day for Cairo for it may mean tie
dawn of new era in her commercial
development.
