The body of an unknown man was
discovered in Lake ST. Croix. near the
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul trestlc.
yesterday morning, and nothing was
found On his person by means of which
he can be identified The BODY was as
| covered by Engineer John Stocking of
lhe Omaha road, who passed close to
me lrestle early yesterday morning, and
coroner Freligh was notified. The body
was toWed to shore and taken - Wing

search of his pockets was made All
that was found was half pint of Whis-
KY from which a small drink had been
taken a card bearing the name of the

ana campaign card. Not a cent of
money was found upon him and not a
scrap OF paper that would aid Ia his
ioehtlhcation. From appearance the
pody had been in the water two or three
udSs ana the face was badly bloated anG
oecompoSed. The man was apparentIv
thlrty-hve to forty years of age, and
was attired in black coat and dark
gray trousers and vest. He had a prom
lnent forhead and dark brown hair and
d large req moustache. He was six feet
tan and weighed about 200 pounds.
There We're no marks of violence on the
pody and the supposition is that the
man was drunk and fell from the trestle.

MILES OF RAILROAD TICKETS.
Some Statistics Complied bya Ne
braska Railroad Man.


If the passenger tickets issued by the
Burlington & Missouri river road from its
Omaha general Offices last year We're
PLACED end to end they would cover d dis
lance Of 430 miles, or, in 9TH az words,
would reach from Chicago to Kansas
City
During the fiscal year just closed there
were 1880 mileage books issued from the
Omaha office Some of these books, those
containing 5000 miles, easura tWent y-siX
feet i'll length when pulled out. The 600
mile books, which are the more common
aie only nine feet long. These hooks are
printed off one piece of paper nowadays,
and the counterfeiter has a somewhat
difficult job to duplicate them. All these
mileage books placed end to end would
extend for a distance of twenty miles
The total transportation in actual miles
miles. Taking this number into consider
alton one could, spend a tolerably long
life time doing nothing but riding on the
train. If he rode 200 miles a day. which
would be a fair average for an amateur
traveller he would just about use up his
book in sixty years.
There are many interesting facts which
could be gathered from the issuance and
sale of abroad tickets, of which the ones
mentioned are fair samples. The long
continuous mileage book is coming more
and more into vogue nowadays than ever
before, and while they may be made the
subject for interesting stories, they also
serve most eXpedient use which other
tickets can not be made to do.

announced no decisive action, except that
it will, in all probability, make a radical
cut.
The Northern Pacific officials stated
yesterday that early this week an an
nouEcement of reduced rates would be
made by their company. These rates
will, of course contemplate reductions
on passenger traffic to and from the Pa
citic coast and intervening points, and
are to be made in order to meet the
schedule recently announced by the
Great Northern. 1t is also stated that
the Northern Pacific intends entering

MILLS DOING LESS WORK.
Scarcity of Export Demand Causing
Closing Down of Mills.

A number of the local -four mills were
closed down last night and will not be in
operation for perhaps a week or two. The
reasons for this action are a slow de-
mand for export, a large stock on hand
and a desire on the part of some of the
mills to make repairs while the demand
Is not brisk. The mills have all been
grinding a their full capacity for some
time, and stocks have accumulated SO

erred While on the Continent.
Judge and Mrs J. B. Gilfllan returned
to Minneapolis yesterday from trip
abroad which has extended over the
greater part of the year. In the course
of their travels France, Germany, Aus
tria, Italy and Great Britain were visit
ed, and some time spent in each coun-
try. In speaking of his trip to the
Times last evening, Judge Gilfllan said:
''It is worthy of notice that Americans
travelling abroad are much more courte
ous1y and respectfully treated since the
war with Spain than they were hAfore
that unpleasantness occurred. This was
noticeable in England as well as on the
continent. Foreigners generally are daily
becoming more familiar with the United
States. They appreciate now that 1t is
a great sea power as we'll as a country
covering an immense amount of terri
tory"
In speaking of the sentiment abroad
regarding the possession of the Philip
pine islands by the United States, Judge
Gilfllan said that all Europe has come
to appreciate that America cannot le-
eede from the position she has taken
in the Pacific.
