Church, the president of the Independent Ice
Company, this morning to a STAR reporter,

from the coast of Maine owing to the
failure of the ice crop in other portions of the
country that it is now a serious problem to get

sells that were never before used tor this pur-
pose are now being impressed into the serv-

find it difficult to supply our customers. Nat

the prices are going to stop. This is the uncer-
tain factor that enters into our business this

city, but in order to continue to supply our
customers we may be compelled to advance
prices to meet the situation. We have already
instructed our drivers to take no new trade
except private families and We propose to con-
time to furnish our customers at as low rates
as possible"
Mr. Church said further that the closing of

twelve men of the Omaha, Superior x South

having concluded a satisfactory survey from
Superior to Hays City, Kan. distance OF

days be engaged at the Offices of the com
pany in this city making maps, protlcs, esti-
mates, etc, after which the work OF securing
right Of way and terminal facilities will be
taken up. The people along this line are very
desirous that construction work shall COM
mence this season and right of way secured
at reasonable figures, which being done
would without doubt insure this.
The building of this line of road Is of special
importance TO Omaha aud Lincoln, since II
will bring within their reach rich and
prosperous country that is now exclusively
controlled by Kansas City. The distance
from Hays City, Kan to Kansas City is 2o9
miles and from Hays City TO Omaha via the
Omaha, Superior x Southwestern and either
B. d NJ or Chicago q Northwestern Is 294.
Thus it is apparent that with the completion
of the Omaha, Superior n Southwestern,

TROUBAE WITH THE CIsEYENNEs
Left Without Rations the Indians Are
Dying BY Dozens.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July S.-A special from

Indian agency confirms the surmises of
trouble at that point. About four thousand
Indians are at the agency, and created dis
turbance today, when they found no rations
could be issued until Tuesday. The delay
was caused by the fact that the cattle
had not been drived in from the
range, thus leaving the Indians almost
starving from Monday until tomorrow. The
Indians also object to be counted in the cen
sus and the census could be taken with great
difficulty. The condition of the Indians is
dCplorable. Yesterday twelve died of con-
sumption and lung fever and the physician
had as many more serious cases on his hands.
The sickness prevails almost entirely among
