DROWNED MAN FOUND.
Body Of An Unknown Man Fouud Near
Lincoln Believed to Be From Salem.

Body Of An Unknown Man Fouud Near
Lincoln Believed to Be From Salem.
/ This morning some OF the deck
hands on the Steamer Gypsy reported
70 coroner Clough. upon their arrival
here, that they had found the body
Of dead man coating 10 the river 10
the vicinity OF Lincoln.
The coroner Immediately started
for the scene with the intention OF
holding an inquest and bringing the
body back to Salem for burial.
From the description given II is be-
lieved to be Walker b. Ray, a man
well-kpown about town but who has
been missing for nearly month.
Ray was a native OF Pennsylvania,
where he has relatives. AS far as 10
known he has no relatives in this
state. He came TO this country about
six years ago aud acquired some land.
For some time he was employed in
the livery barn OF Richard WestR-
colt, going from there TO the
dairy from OF Westacott &
Irwin where he was employed as
foreman for some time. Later he
came back 10 town aud re-entered the
service OF Mr.. r. Westacott at his
livery barn. For about two months
he has been out Of work and most OF
that time was drinking heavily. He
was a man about 30 years OF age
and was we'll liked by all who
knew him, his worst enemy being his
love for drink.
For some time prior to November l2
Ray roomed at the Salem lodging
house, and for a week before that
date was confined to his room. On the
evening OF the 22nd he was in his
room at o'clock and the next
morning at seven O'Clock his door was
open aud he had gone. Nothing has
been seen Of him since, various
rumors being circulated as TO his
whereabouts, some saying that he had
gone to Oregon City and some that he
had left for the East. He left some
clothing 10 his room and also sock
of belongings at the livery barn. He
had stated that he intended jumping
in tide river as soon as bis money was
gone.

POOR OUTLOOK FOR ICE
THE ARTICLE WILL PROBABLY BE A
LUXURY NEXT SUMMER.
Last January Furnished a Good Crop
shipping Advantages in
IndianapOli

The ice merchants are becoming uneasy
over the ice prospects for the coming sea-
son. The month of January is nearly gone
and no ice yet housed of this years freez-
ing. One of the larger dealers says it re-
quires about four hundred tons of ice a
day to supply this market eight months OF
the year, and although the city has six
first-class modern artificial plants in oper-
alton, their capacity will not supply one
half the amount required. Last year at
this time it was very cold, and on the 18th
day of January Ice twelve inches thick was
cut at Indianapolis. There may be plenty
of ice yet, but the conditions for cheap ice
next summer at Indianapolis are by no
means as favorable as one year ago.
The fact that no ice has been cut this sea-
son by local dealers at Warsaw and other
points in the northern parl OF the State is
an item worthy of consideration. The
dealer quoted said that there was some ice
of last year still in houses in the northern
part of the State, and later some ice may
be cut to fill the empty icehouSeS, but
taken as a whole the outlook for a good
crop is not as favorable as the dealers
would like to have it. 1t has been demon
strated that the citizens of indianapolis
will not pay high prices for the article, and
unless it is plenty 1t means that a few
will control the business and Ice will be a

good ice harvested in February, and next
month we may get all we will require But
the outlook is not favorable.

DELEGATES ARRIVING.
Some Views of Those from New York
and Boston.

ana Boston,
Four delegates to the monetary confer
ence arrived in the city yesterday They
were Evan Thomas and Alfred Romer, both
ex-presidents of the New York Stock Ex-
change. Henry w. Peabody, of Boston, and
J. W. jerks of Ithaca, N. Y.
Messrs. Thomas and Romer are both typ
zeal New York men of affairs, and are in
close touch with the business heart of the
Nation They said yesterday that the com
missions report was a splendid document,
very comprehensive in its treatment of the
money question and convincing in its logic.
Both gentlemen were of the opinion that
the plan 1t laid down would be enacted into
law without any material changes.
Il have heard no adverse criticism on the
report in New York city, said Mr. Romer,
land the general tone of the sentiment ev-
erywhere so far as | know, is commenda-
tory of the document. The report shows
that a number of things are necessary 70
be done i'm order that prosperity may be
permanent ia the future. The country is
liable at any time TO financial trouble grow
ing out of the existing, currency system, a
system which does not furnish sufficient
basis of redemption. L cannot see why the
silver question should stand in the way of
remedying this evil. The report advocates
a fuller use of the white metal than is OBJ
tanned now, and the national bank currency
will supply that additional medium
which some of the so-called silver
States stand i'm need Of do not
think it is proper at this time
to speak OF the report in detail, but l will
say that ! regard the proposed formation
of a redemption bureau, to be separate
from the fiscal department of the treasury,
as one part of the plan that commends
itself very strongly to the business COM
munity."
Mr.. Thomas Endorsed what Mr. Romer
had TO say and added that he thought the
conference would be Instrumental in arous-
ing a public sentiment that would persuade

Competition Brings Benefits to Local
Manufa cturers.


There are but few local manufacturers
and merchants who appreciate the advan-
tages they have in the matter of shipping
their products or the benefits they derive
in the matter of rates by the number of
competing lines to ship over" said a mer-
chant one day last week. But as a ship
ping point Indianapolis is not excelled by
any city in the country. There are 256
switches leading to the manufactures and
other private industries, and cars are ham
died on these switches at lower prices than
at any other railroad center in the coun-
try. 1t is equal to one-half the cost at
Chicago or st. Louis. At the present time
sixty-four switching engines are required to
do the work at this terminal, which is large
ly on these private switches.
Probably Kingan & Co. are the largest
shippers, it not being an unusual thing for
this establishment for many successive
days to ship as high as forty carloads of
provisions and dressed meats. The cerealine
mills would probably rank second, although
their shipments are not as large as their
receipts in the way of carloads. Often thiI-
ty carloads of corn are placed on the switch
in twenty-four hours, and the shipments
would not be more than half that number
of cars. The Indianapolis hominy mills and
starch works are large receivers or corn and
shippers of cerealine products, probably av-
eraging to ship ten carloads each a day
through the year The business of the In
diana Car-serVice Association is largely or
private switches at Indianapolis, and the
fact that in 1897 the association handled
2l7,320 loaded cars gives some idea of what
the switching service at Indianapolis means,
and in this number the large business done
at the stock yards is not included. The -four
ing mills are another industry which counts
largely in shipments. and there are dozens
of manufactures which ship from forty to
sixty carloads of freight a month. So GEN.
tralized are the city freight depots and the
bulk tracks that in the shipment of less
than carload lots Indianapolis manufacture
erS have great advantages, as the city
freight depots of the fifteen lines are all
within a radius of six squares and cOnven-
iently reached with no hills to climb and
with so large a mileage of paved streets
that a one-hore dray can haul ton or more
to any depot in the city,.
j. q. Hicks, general yard master at this
point of the Big Four lines, states that he
is well informed regarding the switching
services at the leading railway cepters, and
he does not know of any railroad point
where the switching is done at SO low a
cost TO the consgnee and shipper and SO
promptly at Indianapolis. The fact is,
says Mr.. Hicks If a road does not keep on
a full complement of engines and crews
the business goes to the road that does han
die it's cars expedtiOuSly.
