To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The telegram from Noblesvi,le. relating to
the candidacy of Comrade Henry NJ. Cay

liant soldier during the war in defense OF
his country and flag. Serving a private
in Company ID, Seven.y-ffth Indiana Vo,-
unteers, he crossed the Ohin river at Louis
vile IN the early part of 1862 and from that
time until his muster out n June, 1865. never

AN AVERAGE TONNAGE
LOADED-CAR MOVEMENT ABOUT
THE SAME As LAST YEAR IN MAY.
All Lines Permitted to Make Half
Fare Rates Sunday - Prompt
Movement Of Through Freight.

The train records show that there Were
received and forwarded at Indianapolis in
the week ending May 2. 2. 425 cars, 1920 be-
ing loaded. In the total number handled at
this point there was an increase over the
week ending May OF 6l0 cars, while
forty-one fewer cars were handled last week
than in the preceding week The number OF
empty cars handled was unusually large. In
1885 twenty-five more loaded cars were han
died than this year, but the tonnage OF last
week was probably as heavy as in the cor
responding week last year, as cars are now
being loaded nearer TO their capacity than
in former years. On the corresponding week
of 1884, which showed about the average
movement for May. there were 2.03S fewer
loaded cars handled at Indianapolis. A
freight official says If freight rates are be-
Ing held as claimed, the gross and net rev.
enues at Indianapolis should certainly show
an Increase over last year and doubtless
they do, the loss to the roads now being
largely IN passenger earnings. Still. the
latter are increasing and with the present
volume Of business good results should be
obtained. In east-bound tonnage a slight in
crease is shown in grain SHIPMENTS, while
the shipments OF live stock, dressed meats
and provisions are the heaviest ever known
in May. West-bound traffic is below expec-
tations. the dizziness in trade all over the
West undoubtedly being the cause. Farmers
are holding their money, retail merchants
say, not only TO see what the prospects of
TINS years crops are, but fearing hard times
as a result Of the agitation OF the money
question. They have sold and shipped most
OF their hogs and cattle. but are holding
the money, which makes the merchants
stock I'D lightly, and this in turn affects
west-bound business and also extends to
local traffic. which is by no means what it
should be at this season Of the year. The
large business the stock yards are doing
and the increased shipments Of local manu-
facturers are helping the Indianapolis lines;
still. the small amount of building in prog,
ress and the delay in beginning street i'm
provements cuts inbound business down
very perceptibly. Below is given the car
movement for the week ending May g. AID
for the corresponding weeks Of 1895 and 1894:

MONEY LENDERS ELDoRADO.
Is Is Found In Russia, Where the Peo-
pie Are Terribly Burdened.

Russia, although usually considered one of
the richest countries in the world is more
oppressed with debt and loaded down with
tho payment of enormous rates of interest
IMAM any other nation on earth. The whole
empire Is In debt, while every state and
peasant Is under an obligation either to the
government or TO private usurers Tor ad-
vanced loans of money.
The truth of the matter is that Russia
has more land than ii knows wat 70 do
with. The government, therefore, eneour-
advance them the money, which, with child
IKE simplicity, they promise to pay back in
the future. The Russian peasant never
thinks beyond the present.
About fifteen years ago the government or
ganized what is known as the Land Bank.
Every year it supplies 100000 to be loaned
out either to villages or to individuals for
the purpose of buying land. Since the
scheme was first adopted, nearly ten thou
10000 families. Through this bank the
peasants have been able 10 purchase more
than 100000 acres OF land, on which, how
ever, they still owe so per cent. of their
indebtedness.
Among other schemes of a similar kind
the government will make advances TO farm
ers on grain, either stored N warehouses
or in care OF the railway companies. The
Treasury Department can authorize a COM
pany TO advance loans not TO exceed so ger
cent. OF the value of the grain deposited,
the money 20 be paid back in less than six
months. If II IS not forthcoming the grain
VIII be sold by public auction, all expenses
from the proceeds. The farmer gets what is
left.
The system IS very popular among the
peasants. the charges being much smaller
than those OF the usurers. with whom Rus
STA is inundated. This latter class Is known
as koulaks. They constitute more than s
per cent of the population of Russia, and
are the hardest usurerS in the world. They
are usually peasants VINO have saved a
small amount Of money, which they lend
out at excrbitant rates of interest. IF the
borrower Is unaole 70 pay them back, which
Is very often the case. they demand that
he shall work of the debt. On loan OF SO
the peasant viii work for two days week
for his money lender. -

siiser Wilson's Money.

COLUMBUS, Ind, May s.-Dr. Banker
has been unable to find any trace of the
family Of James II. Wilson, the dead miser
with nearly $4,000 on his person. The as
slstant postmaster Of Pomeroy, o.. tele
graphed that Wilson was formerly in the
butter business at that place, but of late
years no one there had known anything
about him or any of his folks. 1t has been
learned that the dead man was born in st.
Clair, o., and at one time conducted a tan
merry at that place. Since he has lived in
Brown county it seems he cared for nothing
but making money. His neghbors tell
many stories of his cupidity. He would re-
member even the pennies that people owed
him and take them out of any dealings he
might have with the debtor. Besides the
cash and his farm he was the owner OF two
saw-mills and large amount of lumber.
Last night James Jones, an attorney Of
Nashville, Ind. came to this city and proved
a claim of 800 against the estate and was
appointed administrator under the law of
creditors rights. He filed bond and will
dispose OF the estate. Ii no relatives are
found the property will be turned over to
the State. This afternoon the remains were
