There will be large southern demand
for ice from this section of the country if
the crop continues promising. A promi-
nent st. Louis ice merchant In a CONVEX
sstion with general freight agent. c. d.
Ives. of the B.. C. R. s. N. stated that
''if the present open weather continues
much longer. there will be good demand
for ice in St. Louis. They have had ice
as late as February at st. Louis and so
the Ice men are holding off as long as
possible before taking any definite steps.
If it comes off warm as the indications
are now. the orders will be great without
doubt"
They will need from 1000 to 10000
cars of ice in 81. Louis, from this section
OF the country" said Mr.. Ives to Cedar
Rapids Gazette reporter yesterday. 1--WE
do not expect to furnish them with all of
1t, but we expect to send at least 2 900
car loads before we quit. If it should re
main cold, however, it will knock us out,
as such weather as we have been having
will make ice at Rock Island and Daven,
port and that will be better point for
ST. Louis people, because of the differ
ence in the freight"
what will it cost the ST. Louis deal
ers to get their ice from your territory,
Mr.. Ives2"
well, it costs about $50 car in the
first place, and car holds twenty tons of
ice. There will be considerable shrink
age and the cost OF cutting and storage,
so that St. Louis dealers will have to sell
it for five or six dollars per ton to get out
On it at all This is the reason they hes
itate giving us the order now If they
should have a crop of ice, the smaller
dealers there would put in stock. not
being able to come north, and that would
make great loss for the large dea le1s
who had come north after ice here"

Plea for the Hospital Guild.

Editor ARGUS:
ROCK ISLAND. ILL, Jan 29.-As the
Hospital Guild cannot raise money
enough from subscriptions to run the
hospital, they are compelled to resort
to public entertainments to help replenish
the treasury. If those persons who con-
denim the ball as a means of raising mon
ey for the support of the hospital would
pledge the amount in subscriptions. these
entertainments could be done away with,
and the Guild saved much trouble and
hard work. But as there seems to be no
such prospect. the Guild feel their enter
prise should not be condemned. and hope
the charity bait will be well patrenized.

Morgan read peculiar open letter, which
vas unanimously adopted as the uttersrce
Of the meeting, which said:
To Judge LOngnecker, States Attorney.
DEAR SIR:-we respectfully recsll your
attention to the case of Ernest Dunnivant,
sentenced by Judge Anthony, February 9,
1887, to four years imprisenment. We
submit the following synopsis Of the case:
Dunnivant, poor but respectable paper
carrier, became acquainted with the daugh.
ter of millionaire living on Dearborn av-
euue, who becoming aware of the intimacy
Of the young couple, employed city detect
ives to fix some criminal charge upon bis
daughters admiIer that would send him to
States prison. This was accomplished
with the aid Of sslfconfessed thief who
pleaded guilty to an alleged burglary and
sw0Ie that Dnnnivsnt was q partner.
Though both were sentenced, this agent of
the detectives was liberated after two
weeks visit to the Bridewell, while the in
poesnt victim is yet in prison.
The facts in the case the letter says were
known to every we'll informed newspaper
man in Chicago. In conclusion the States
Attorney is urged 10 endeavor in this case
to prove that the law is more powerful than
the greatest millionaire.
