WARMEST MAO ON RECORD HERE POST OFFICE IN THE FIRST CLASS Receipts at Local Office Show a Big Cain AMOUNTED TO $41,111 CAIRO OFFICE NOW IN FIRST CLASS WITH LARGER CITIES WILL RESULT IN AD VANCE OF THE SAL ARIES. Postmaster Sidney B. Miller yester day completed his reports for the amount of buslnes.i done during the past fiscal year which ended with tho close of business, on March 31st. As formerly stated the amount of busi ness done was sufficient to put the Cairo office In the first class. When the receipts reach $10,000 the office goes Into the first class. The reptirts for the different quarters shows that during the fiscal year the total amount of business done here was $11,111.14. The passing of the Cairo port office Into the first class speaks volumes for the growth of Cairo. The business has been steadily increasing for a number of years, but last year the advance was more than usual. For the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1904 the total amount of business did not reach the amount done the past year by $4,- 523.18.

QUEER ACTIONS OF CONVERTED NEGROES BY A "DO RIGHT" BISHOP LED TO A RIOT, CALL BEINC TURNED IN. The conversions by a "Do Right' Bisuop, in a negro family on Seventl street, last night resulted in a riot call being turned la to police head quarters. Several messages were telephoned to the police from residents on Seventh street, to the ef feet that someone was be'ng murder ed in a big ramshnckllng house on that street, known as Sayars building Officer Wilson, who was the onl) officer at headquarters responde. to the alarm. When he reached tht neighborhood screams, moans, of the most terrorizing and blood curdliag rort were Issuing from the Becond story of the building. The sounds seemed to be coni'ng from a real rooom and were so terrifying In the r effect that many of the men resident refused to enter the building wit! the officer, who fully expected to en counter a maniac or desperate mnr derer at work. With drawn revolver, he dashed around to the rear of the building and up the steps. Instead cf witnessing what be thought was a bloody drama he found a negro preacher, known as tae "Dc Right" seated in the center of a group of. women, who were weeping and wailing, rock'.ng to and fro and at ntervals giving vent to the screams that had arouse! the neighborhood. One old negro mammy leaped tc her feet, flung her arms around the astonished officer's neck and scream ed at the top of her voice," Glory I've got religion. I loves everybody. Oh, Glory." Officer Wilson quelled the disturb ance by putting an end to the meet ing. The "Do Right," a new sort of rellg ion that has taken a great hold on tae negroes of tlf's city seems lo be a strange and fanatical belief. The m'nlsters and the bishops In the church are said to exert a great pow er over the members, especially the women. This strange sect is gaining new members every day. There are a number of workers who have spent the past month In Cairo holding street revivals, etc. RUNAWAY HORSE BOLTED INTO BARBER SHOP. A horse attached to an empty deliv ery wagon broke loose from his moor ings on Railroad street yesterday fore noon and sailing before a stiff gale ran up to Eighth street and thence took a short tack direct for George Steinhhouse's barber shop. One wheel collided with the striped pole while one shaft was poked through tbe big glass in the door, smashing It Into a million pieces. The animal finding he could get neither a hair cut or a shave at a union shop, kicked so vigorously that the harness and dash board were soon reduced to junk. The driver showed up in the meantime and rescued the horse uninjured. I. O. O. F. HOME DESTROYED Ccrslcana, Tex., April 3. Fife to day destroyed the main huildin gof the I- O. O.

According to the re-1 porta circulated last night the confer ence was held for the purpose of in luclng Mr. Parsons to get off the track and allow the present mayor to be re-elected without opposition, promising hlra In return the mayoralty two years hence. It was later report ed that Mr. Parson3 had refused to listen to the propeisltion and that a similar effort was to be made to in luce Mr. Winter to withdraw in order to give Mr. Parsons a clear field. Last night ' Mr. Parsons told The Bulletin that the committee said to have been appointed at the conference had not called upon him, but that he would not withdraw from the cam paign unless the COO voters who had selected him as their candidate agreed. i Mr. Winter told The" Bulletin that he had neit been waited upon by a committee, but added that he had be "ome a candidate at the request of hundreds of citizens arid did not see how he could consistently withdraw. Mr. Winter's friends last night stat ed that the effort was made to induce Mr. Parsons to withdraw In order that Mr. Winter might have in opportunity to enter the mayor's off re without be ing handicapped by pb Iges and obli gations that are bound o result from a hot political fight. It was also stated th t the citizens who were present at i ie conference thought that it was fof the clty'g In terest that there be no opposition for mayor.
