a lively one, President Hnette pre-

while Secretary Carey presented a
number of important matters for con-

President Huette spoke briefly CT
the Cincinnati trip OF the Cairo and
Mound City delegations. He said he
had, been asked what he brought back
to Cairo. He considered the question
fair and would say In reply that he
brought back some very pleasant
memories and strong hope that the
trip would result in good for the city

solidation, but could see no harm in
appointing the committee as proposed.
Secretary Carey spoke strongly for
consolidation, citing the cases OF Gin.
cinnati and Indianapolis. both favor
ably situated; but the latter having
far surpassed the former In progress
during the last decade as shown by
latest census. There was some cause
for it he said he believed 1t was due
to the fact that indianapolis had
strong and active commercial organi-
cation composed of GOO of the leading
citizens, who left nothing undone to
push the city forward in every way
possible.
j. B. Magee believed the discussion
out Of order since the meeting was
not called upon to decide the question
of consolidation, but merely to name
a committee to consider the question
and report upon 1t, when it could be
discussed
The motion to appoint the commit
tee was carried unanimously.
The 5000 Fund.
President Huette called for a re-.
port OF the Bankers committee on the
proposition to raise $4,000 as an in
dustrial promotion fund
Mr. Aisthorpe said he understood
the proposition to be to raise money
not as a factory fund, but as fund to
be used in presenting the city's aG.
vantages effectively In cases to induce
factories to come here. In his opin.
ion, whether the commercial organiza-
tons of the city consolidated or not,
the $4,000 fund ought to be raised
The committee could offer several
plans for raising 1t. One was that ten
men contribute $500 each; another
that twenty men cntribute $3.50 each;
a third was that 100 men contribute
$50 each. But in the opinion of the
committee the fund should be made
a popular one; 1t concerned every
citizen in Cairo; every property
owner for all would be benefited by
the city's growth-an should be given
an opportunity to contribute toward
the fund. In the opinion OF the COM
mitee the money should be raised by
offering five thousand Cairo Booster"
buttons for sale and urging every
citizen to buy one. This would not
bar any citizen from buying five or
ten or twenty buttons II he were able
and so disposed; but It would give
eevry one chance to contribute to-
ward a movement mat was for the

Captured.

entered the Snow residence out on
Ponchatolowa, last Monday, sat down
at the table and ate what he could
find in the cupboard, drank up the
milk and ransacked the house. He
took with him some valuable papers
and also made away with the chick
ems. The family were away at the
time and found all this out when
they returned home. Deputy La
croix took the hounds out and at
tempted to trail the thief, but was
unsuccessful. He is still at large,
and il his appetite held out he is
probably eating roasted chicken and
drinking milk at somebody else's
table
