RETURN FROM Gin.
Attended Twentieth Annual Con-

LITTLE DAM PROSPECTS
IN IMMEDIATE FUTURE
Delegations Received No Encour-
agement That Dam Near Here
Will be Built Soon.

The Cairo delegation to the
twentieth annual meeting of the
Ohio Valley Improvement A@ocia-
tion held at Cincinnati Tuesday, re-
turned home yesterday about noon.
They left Cincinnati Tuesday night
at 8 o'clock.
The Cairo delegation augmented
by several citizens from Mound City
was by far the largest at the meet
ing.
The session of the Association
was short, the meeting was called
to order at 10 o'clock and adjourn
ed sine die shortly after the noon
hour.
The purpose Of tho strong delega-
tton from this city aud Mound City
was 70 hurry the beginning of the
work Of building the dam in the
Ohio river to be located between
here and Mound City. The govern
ment engineers with plans and
specifications were present at the
meeting According to the report
cf the members OF Cairo delegation
the early building of this dam is a
matter of doubt, owing to the fail
are of tho last congress to make
adequate appropriation for the i'm
provement of the Ohio river.
Col Vance, the president Of the

presiding officer. The other Off
GERS were also reelected. NJ. J.

The Ohio Valley Improvement
Association in It's Twentieth An
nual convention assembled adopts
tile following declaration of facts
and resolutions:
The recent failure Of Congress tc
make adequate provision for the
ontinued vigorous and economical
prosecution of the great work Of
creating a permanent nine foot
charnel In the Ohio river has tnc
effect to materially delay its ulti-
mate completion and to that extent
to deprive for the time the COM
rnerce of the country of the vast
benefits which the completed i'm
provement is confidently eNpectCl
to produce. We therefore deeply
regret that the method employed to
prevent appropriations for real or
fancied uumeritorious waterway
improvements should involve SER
ious delay of such improvements as
have been approved by the best
agencies employed by the Govern
ment to test their merit.
lnasmuch as moro than one-half
OF the improvement has been COM
pleted and consequently more than
one-half of the ultimate cost has
been invested, with impossibility
of substantial benefit or advant-
ages to commerc, until the nine
foot channel reaches from Fits
turgh to Cairo, It is Of most vital
Importance to the commerce of the
county and from every other point
# view, that the remaining work
should be pushed to completion AS
rapidly as men and money can dc
40. Therefore We most respectfully
urge upon Congress that provision
be made for carrying on the re-
mainder of the work under the con.
tinuing contract system, with ap.
preparation sufficient for placing all
the remaining dams under construc.
tion within the next threa years.

cousin, by marriage, and Grains three
year old son, whose dsath it Is gem

one voice was raised against him, all
though there was none to condone
the deeds or offer justifying motive.
Henry was undoubtedly crazy,
was the word ON every tongue among
the hundreds who crowded the little
village public hall, when the inquest
convened at nine o'clock.
Climaxing the public confidence and
overshadow1ng the puzzling lack Or
motive, was the tearful charity of two
widows whom Henry's gun had rob

fathers.
