giant during his last illness and some
OF them were with him when he died,

BUILD CAIRO SEWER

Cairo, ILL.,, Oct. 25.-The work of re-
pairing the broken Commercial avenue
sewer is to be started Immediately, a
contract for the reconstruction having
been awarded to F. w. Keller of Cape

material on the ground and that ne

tive reconstruction of the sewer.

the work which will afford full oppor-
tunity to go ahead without any inter

serve that only the best of material

Accompanying Mr.. Keller's bid was
the required certified check for s2050
which represented 10 per cent of his
bid This will be returned to Mr. Kel-
Ter if he shall within the next 10 days
file good and sufficient bond in the
sum of so per cent of his bid.

Oliver and United States Attorney Ar
thur L. Oliver, as well as brother of
r. B. Oliver of the Cape, last night
was brought to the Cape where an
x-ray photograph of his right hip was
taken at st. Francis Hospital to learn
if he sustained fracture as a result
of having been thrown from a wagon
in runaway near Neely's' Landing
yesterday morning.
Photographs were made of the bones,
but at a late hour last night the plates
had not been developed so that it was
impossible for the physicians in at
tendance to ascertain if any fractures
have resulted from Mr.. divers fall.
Mr.. Oliver is 90 year old. and q

State.
Yesterday morning he had i team Of
horses hitched to one of his wagons
on his farm two miles north of Neely's
Landing and was preparing to drive
to Fruitland. He was to be accom-
panied by his wife.
He had mounted to the seat of the
wagon and Mrs. Oliver was Just about
to step into the wagon when the team
of horses became frightened at some
thing and ran.
The sudden start of the vehicle
threw Mr.. Oliver off his balance and
he was hurled out of the wagon. He
landed on his right hip, and it is said
by his physicians who have examined
him, that that is the only serious in
jury that he sustained. unless there
are internal injuries that have not de
veloped.
The team of horses continued to run
for a distance of about 4 half 4 block
where they went under n tree and stop
ped between the barn and house.
Doctors were summoned at once
from Jackson and yesterday afternoon
as the steamboat Peoria passed Nee
ly's Landing, efforts were made to
have it land in order that Mr. Oliver
could be brought to the Cape by boat
and taken to the hospital The boat
could not be singalled for a stop. how
ever.
The Jackson physicians who were
summoned advised that he be brought
to the Cape as soon as possible in or
der that an X-ray photograph might
be taken to learn the exact character
of the injury. He was brought in on
the local train that arrived in the Cape
at 10:4O o'clock last night and taken
at once to the Hospital where mem
bers of the Oliver family in the Cape
went to Join the members of the fam
