FAST BASKET
BALL GAME IS
WON BY CAIRO
Local Boys Beat Team from Duqoin
by Score Of 1922 in Ex-
citing Finish

In the fastest and most exciting
game of the season the local Basket
Ball team defeated DuQuoin by the
close score of 2S to %. The game
was snappy and fast from the time
the referees whistle blew for the
start; to the final minute of play,
DuQuoin's record for the past week
or two has been good and the out
look at first was anything but favor
able to the Egyptians.
First Half.
The first half started off with
foul on Cairo, Davis OF DuQuoin,
throwing it. Metzger, Cairo's star
center, from a difficult position
threw the first basket for Cairo. An
other foul was called on the locals,
Davis scoring again. Ulrich, Du-
Quoin's "Long Tom" forward, then
scored twice making the score to
. for the visitors.
At this stage Of the game things
looked good for DuQuoin but Cairo
braced and scored baskets and then
foul raising them points Here
several fouls were called on Cairo
and the visitors rang up more
points.
Ireland, Cairo's bantam forward
pulled off grand stand play and
dropped the sphere through the ring
for more. The half ended with
the score, DuQuoin 10. Cairo o.
Second Half.
In the second half of play Cairo
was determined to overcome the
slight lead and to the surprise of
the guests threw 2 baskets in quick
succession. In this half the lead
went back and forth from the locals
to DuQuoin and the excitement was
intense. Cairo, however, not wish
ing to show up disfavorably on their
home floor set their hearts on win
ninEI and win they did BY a sue
cession of quick pays and bit of
luck the locals then put the finishing
touches on the score leaving on the
slate the final count of 2s to %.

weather Is not in sight, judging
from the reports OF the weather bu-
rcau which has been promising
warmer weather for the week end
The prediction Of last night was that
it would be warmer today, but that
it will become colder as the day
wears on.
Should another cold wave follow
this one, Cairo may face a serious
situation On the street car and coal
questions. The cars are having trou-
bic running now and any more snow
wauld increase the difficulty almost
70 the stopping point
The street ears yesterday were
running on as near schedule time as
possible, but all were running in the
same direction. The usual scheme
of running ears in both directions
was abandoned and the cars ran
close together SO that should one get
stuck, the other could aid in push
| ing it along the track
Snow Shovelled Off
| The heavy snow along the tracks
has been shovelled from the rails,
but not 50 that another snow would
not cause trouble. In many cases
the stems of the cars rake the snow
drifts
The coal situation in Cairo VIII
become serious should the cold
weather keep up more than week.
The mines throughout the state
have closed down because of the in
i ability Of the railroads to handle
cars and deliveries are SO slow that
dealers are unable to keep up with
I their orders.
! Throughout the country the coal
situation Is much worse than in
Cairo. In Oklahoma the residents
are Offering as high as $40 ton for
the fuel with none in sight In sew
eral Illinois towns the supply of fuel
is running so short that thcre is
danger of running out.
1 Other Cities Colder,
! While Cairo was worrying about
the degrees below zero other cities
were suffering twice as much, In
st. Louis, Belleyille, East st. Louis
and several other cities near the
central part of the state tempera-
lures of l6 to 30 degrees below zero
were recorded. AT Mt. Carmel the
coal supply is running short and, to
add to the troubles of the people, tho
Wabash river has frozen over and
shut off the water supply, The only
water left Friday night was what
was in the standptpo.
/, Throughout the north and west
much warmer weather was expert
enced. Saskatchewan Can, where
the temperature was reported ~ de-
grees below zero Wednesday, report
ed temperature ( 3S degrees
above zero Thursday night and FRI
day morning, and Medicine Hat,
where the official weather comes
from. was 4 degrees warmer. Both
places reported colder weather last
night.
River Filled with Ice.
The Ohio River is in the worst
condition of years. Great cakes OF
ice that extend 100 yards in each
direction, are floating down she
river and 1t is practically impossi-
BILE and dangerous for steamboats, to
venture away from their moorings,
The cnly boat to make trips yestcr-
day was the transfer boat Henry
Marquard, and she made no time,
The other boats are either tied to the
Kentucky shore or stay close to their
moorings,

Pekin, China, Jan 13.---The abdi-
cation of the emperor is expected to
take place within three days, but
events may occur to give the Man
chus a new lease on life, as they
often have in the past, when mat
ters seemed hopeless.
Yuan Shi Kai's secretary made no
secret of the preparations and the
premier conferred with the throne
guardian respecting measures to be
undertaken.
Will Go to Jehol.
1t Is understood that plans are be-
ing arranged for the departure OF
the Imperial party to Jehol. The
Imperial guard probably will act as
escort unless the flight must be made
in secret which is not impossible be-
fore the abdication proclamation ap-
pears. 1t is said the Manchus have
considered and arranged to accept
the plans offered by the Republicans
several days ago.

Last eenine at about o'clock Mrs.
Herbert Coffin passed away in this
city. having succumbed from the re-
suits of a very delicate operation
which was a necessity and the only
hope OF prolonging her life Know
ing that the lady was in critical
condition and realizing the only
hope lay in an operation this one
chance was taken last Sunday, but
from her weakened condition she
proved unable to stand the shock.
Mrs Coffin had not been we'll for
a long time and this summer spent
some months on the coast believing
that the lower altitude would be ben
etCial, but she returned to her home

tate which has overtaken Charlie, X.

The report comes direct from people
OF absolute reliability that since
Nc Clatchey's trip to Europe that he
has become inoculated with the virus
OF Britishsm and is assuming alarm
ing Cockncy habits.
\ few weeks ago Mr.. McClatchey
was seen at a social junction arrayed
in the conventional swallow tail coat
which lor years he mas affected to
despise. He appeared at a wedding
party arrayed. not only in a full dress
suit with the vest cut Outrageously
low, but he wore kid gloves and
strutted about with an easy air of
nonchalance which was intended to
convey the idea that he had been ac-
=customed to such togs all his life.
Many people who had known Nc
CATCHY for years gaspcd tor breath
when they saw it but he made no
explanation OF his conduct but wore
the apparel OF the aristocracy with a
shamlesSncss that left no doubt that
he gloried in it.
In the old days the Bee has con
tanned many "A vigorous slam at the
dre>, suit and the flunkvism OF the
aristocracy, The Bee was for the
tillcr OF the soil. the man with the
overalls and the common people.
Before McClatchy went to London
and brcathed the atmosphere OF the
Courtof St. James he never thought
OF wearing spiked coat but now
things are different

happen to the robust exponent of
the plain people if he took another

{. {. ROBERTS
FOR CONGRESS
To Make Clean Fight
on Proper Lines

Under the regular heading in an
other column of this issue will be
found the political announcement of
+. f. Roberts, regular Republican
nominee for Congress from the State
of Nevada
Congressman Roberts, the present
incumbent to this important position.
as everyone knows, won the position
and was elected after a hard-fought
political battle two years ago. Mr.
Roberts is now making a campaign
for the purpose of succeeding him
self and as he states, is going to make
a Straightforward d-out fight to retain
the position and if elected it will be
on merits after c1eanly, gentleman
ly battle
In the halls of Congress it cannot
be ganisaid but that CONGRESSMAN
Roberts, as a new man. made himself
heard and was considered an import
ant factor in Legislative matters, and
in issues before the body of which
he was a member his influence was of
more than passing note.
Although politically. The Appeal
does not agree with Congressman
Roberts. still in all fairness, we admit
his oratorical and other powers as j
legislator
1t appears that few of his actions
while in the halls at Washington have
not met with the approval of the
general public, but as to the merits
or dement's of his actions in these
cases this paper is not prepared TO
Judge at this time as we have not
heard Mr. Roberts side of the ques-
tions and we know that all questions
have two sides and sometimes more.
Congressman Roberts states that
he is in this fight to win and if elect
ed will do the very best he knows
how to further the interests of his
constituency.
He realizes that he may make mis-
takes but who does not, and he
places himself once again before the
