CHASTITY SIGHT.
Tho Bloated Body of Dead Man Seen
Floating Down the River.

Yesterday afternoon the floating
body of an unknown man WAS dis
covered IN the river at the Pearl-st.
bridge, bv William Cotton. In the rapid
ly moving current the body disappeared
down stream before time was afforded
to make close observations of the ex-
ternal appearance of 1t. farther than
the fact that 1t seemed to have been a
long while in the water. When Cotton
give notice at police headquarters OF
what he had seen. policemen were de-
tailed to make search for the body.
Sergeant Webb and Detective Cast went
down the river even "a far as Grand
vile, but owing to the turbld state OF
the water and its agitation, close observ-
alton was impossible. All efforts to
find the body were futile.
The only explanation of the mystery
az all satisfactory IS that the body is
that OF Grant Porter, who disappeared
about SIX weeks ago. The last seen of
him was NJ the Northern Hotel, which
he left with the intention of crossing
the river TO the house of relative. AT
the time OF his disappearance, II was
feared that he had undertaken to cross
Oh the ice and had broken through.

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1891-01-21
A Few Prices.

The persistent repetition by the
Republicans of the assertion that the
talk of Mckinley prices before cleo
ton was all the result of Democratic
conspiracy to deceive the people hard
ly deserved notice. Democrats can
we'll afford to hold their peace and
leave people to find out how it is
themselves in their daily experience.
Not only is the Republican charge
of Democratic lying and conspiracy
contradicted by everyday facts, but
it may be Offset by the Republican
claim that there was not time enough
before election to explain the McKin-
ley bill. The Democrats didn't have
time before election TO organize con-
tinental conspiracy embracing all the
merchants and statesmen in the country,
John Wanamaker included, to de-
ceiye the people about prizes. 1t
takes good while to organizs a con-
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1891-01-21

The following is from the Chicago
Grocers Criterion:
"The manufacturers of pressed glass
ware, as soon as the new Mckinley
bill went into operation, began to
shove up prices"
They appear to have followed the
example set by the manufacturers of
window glass, who raised their prices
three times while the bill was pending,
being confident that the duties would
be satisfactory, and who are now said
to be contemplating another advance.
In the course of some remarks about
the wholesale clothing trade, the Com
mercial Bulletin says that the small
part of the cloth yet to be purchased
for next springs consumption "will
show an advance of from 10 to Ii per
cent, which will add 6 or 8 per cent.
to the retail prices of the garment"
1t also says: "The final adjustment
of prices will undoubtedly be gradual
The new tariff must influence higher
values for clothing, but just how high
no one at this time can say. FIX.
