PRICES WILL GO Up.
NEW YORKER PREDICTS IN
CREASE IN COST OF LIVING.
Prof. Joseph r. johnson Says the Con
sumer's Burden viii Grow and
That Wages VIII Not AID
vance in Proportion.

New Notwithstanding to Prof JOS
eph French Johnson, dean Of the New
York universitys school of commerce
and finance, in ten years the people OF
this country will have TO pay about 30
per cent. more to live than they do TO-
day. He bases his conclusions on past
performances in the purchasing power
of money. which, he says. has alarm
ingly decreased in the last ten years,
until now one has to pay about a per
cent. more for commodities than in
1897.
Figures prepared by Prof Johnson
are embodied in the record of the gov
ernmenrs case against the Standard
OH Company Of New Jersey, for Prof
Johnson was one Of the witnesses
called BIZ the Standards lawyers a few
weeks ago to tell how the price of oil
has not kept pace with the gradual in
crease of almost every article the pub
lie is obliged TO buy.
The conclusion-reached by Prof
Johnson after several months Of inyes-
tigation-is that the end Of The steady
increase in the price Of commodities is
not yet. and that. unless all signs fail,
the consumer in this country will bee
taxed even more heavily for the neces.
stiles of life for many years TO come.
lie blames it all on the pleuiude OF
gold

4 sensational story was in circn a
ton in the business part of the city
late yesterday afternoon, to the eff ct
that President Egbert \. Smith, Ct
the Cairo & Thebes railroad company
had resigned: that the affairs of the
company would be looked after locally
bv Judge w. s. Dewey and that eff
cials of the Louisville & Nashville
railroad company would take matters
in hand personally, coming here twice
j month 10 direct affairs.
The report flew fast for a time ami
caused some wild speculat.ons as 70
reasons and results with the usual
variations and expansions peculiar to
reports aud rumors. It was said that
the relations between President
Smith and the financial hackers OF
the enterprise had been strained for
scme time past, owing mainly to the
situation at the Thebes bridge, tire
latter neople feeling that a thorough
understanding with all parties con-
cerned should have been reached b.
fore the building of the road was
started. In reply to this it is stated
that President Smith had every rea-
son TO believe that no trouble would
be met with at the bridge, as Re
had letters from officials of railroads
interested. which satisfied him on this
score. 1t appears however that WREN
il came to carrying out what the let
terq seemed to have promised there
was hitch and the result was a hard
fight in which the Cairo & Thebes
he's thus far failed to gain what It
is after. The hackers of the enter
prise presumably the Louisville q
Nashville Coz have spent some hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars on the
improvements thus far made and II IS
stated they wish TO have all matters
AZ issue speedily and amicably set
tied in order that the road may be
pushed 10 an early completion what
is regarded as q significant circum-
stance is that a force of engineers
