L|NENAN MEETS
DEATH INSTANTLY
FROM hot Wires
Employe of C. G. st. L. Co. Killed
When High Tension Current
Shoots Through Body.
ACCIDENTALLY GRASPED
WIRE WHILE RIGHTING SELF

While working as lineman for the
Cairo and st. Louis Railway com
pany, A. S. Thompson. who has
been in the employ of the company
for the past four months, was cleo
trocuted while working on pole
in the Drainage District.
The accident occurred about $3.50
yesterday morning. Thompson and
another lineman by the name of
Cole were engaged in transferring
two wires from one side of the pole
to another. The wires were with
out insulation, and it is thought
that Thompson in some manner ac-
cidentally grasped one OF these to
balance or steady himself. His
contact with the wire short circuit
ed a circuit of electricity which
shot $500 volts through his body
causing instant death. Thompson S
hands were badly burned.
Cole on the other side OF the pole
heard his partners death cry and
at once knew what had happend.
The dead mans body was removed
from the pole by Cole and several
other workmen who were engaged
near by.
The remains were removed to
Cairo on an interurban car and
taken to the undertaking parlors OF
Mrs. M. E. Feith where an inquest
was conducted at II o'clock by
Coroner McManus A verdict that
Thompson met death accidentally
while engaged in his duties as Q
lineman was returned
The accident occurred near the
Suburban hotel which is Just oppo-
site the Pioneer Polo and Shaft
company's plant on the Sycamore
road
Deceased was about 50 years OF
age, and has no relatives here, How
ever it is thought that he has kin
folk in Shawneetown and the re-
mains were prepared for burial yes
terday and will be shipped to that
place today.

STATE JOB FALLS

Another state appointment has

known veterinary surgeon, who has
been practieing in Cairo for the
past eight years and whose head
quarters are at the establishment
of Il. A. Burke, the undertaken and
livery man was the rec i'ent of a
commission as assistant State Vet
erinarian signed by b. j Stanley
of the State Board of Live Stock
Commissioners.
The appointment was received
yesterday and came through the in
strumentality of r. f. Cannon tC
whom the documentary credentials
were mailed and by whom they were
turned over to the recipient OF the
appointment
Great strides have been made in
recent years in the science Of vet
erinary and practically all the
states have come to a realization oi
the Importance of safeguarding the
live stock and inaugurating educa.
ttonal campaigns among farmer.
breeders to render less likely the
spread of contagious diseases which
in times past have become epidemic
and wiped out of existence untold
millions of valuable stock.
The object of the State Live Stock
commission is to appoint men
whose experience with animals will
render their judgment keen and
who will exercise all possible care
and precautionary measures to guard
against the spread Of stock diseases

CITY ALIVE WITH
NEGRO VISITORS
Southerners Come Up On Special
Excursion From Points
in the South.

An excursion train composed Of
about eleven cars was brought to
Cairo at noon today by the Mobile
and Ohio railroad and the number of
as estimated by John II.
Jones passenger agent, reached an
aggregate of four hundred, about
ninety-fiye per cent being negroes.
The tourists came from points in
Tennessee, Kentucky and Mississippi
and the return trip will be started
at about ten o'clock tonight.
Street car rides and visits to the
various points of interest about
Cairo are apparently the objects of
the visit and the wide eyed wonder
of the dusky skinned visitors forms
conclusive proof that Cairo has some
thing to show.

At a late hour last the reports
from the race for nomination as rep
resentative of Carlisle and Ballard
counties had not been received but
the prediction was that the race lay
between w. T. White of Wicklirre
and f. G. Fraser of Bandana.
The day passed quietly conslj-
ering that such an important issue
was at hand and that intense rival
try had been shown which at tines
had almost bordered on violence
during the stump speaking which
has been in progress for the past few
weeks.

the burden of the enterprise.
From those who originally evol-
we'd the plan and those whose un-
failing faith moved them to stren-
uous efforts to arrange for financial
support to those who with cour-
age and skill have wrought order
out of the chaos, should come a due
measure of gratitude from the long
suffering residents of the flood-in-
tested district.
The contracts are let in the
Drainage District. provide for a level
three feet above the record high
water mark and n top width OF
eighteen feet with a drop OF three to
one. which means three feet slope
to every one foot of fall making a
base width varying with the height
Of the embankment on the various
levels.
The preliminary work consists in
removing all trees, grass and debris
from the banks and then a force Of
thirty teams is put to work plough
ing the sides of the embankment as
fresh earth put on a hardened level
surface will slide and the burrows
form basis for knitting of the
soils and insure the welding togeth-
er Of the substances
Among the record achievements
performed in the course of the work.
the moving of the signal tower at
Davis Junction shines out promi-
nently This tower was moved

slightest disturbance TO the service.
not d connection being broken and
with no effective jar to the equip
ment.
The telegraph poles have been
moved down the embankment TO
be out of the way while the work
was IN progress and will be raised
gradually to the new level without
q moments halt in the service.
Another feature Of the work con-
sists in the extention of the sewers.
twenty feet of concrete extention
being added to each terminal and
, all to be equipped with flood gates
to be closed in times of high water
aud thus prevent the floods from
backing UP.
( The modern dump ears used by
the contractors render possible
surprisingly quick placing Of the
dirt after the steam shovel has
loaded il on the cars. Each car IS
estimated to carry fifteen cubic
yards and It requires about seven
1 buckets from the steam shovel to
fill each car and the speed at which
the hugh digger is operated makes
/ 1t possible to load a train Of fifteen
cars in less than thirty minutes,
An interesting detail OF the work
is the system of drainage establish
ed which Is rendered necessary to
prevent the accumulation of water
in the vicinity Of the steam shovel,
as the gradually lowering plane ef-
