Lost in Raging Rain Storm and Might

Many Theories Advanced and Pa

Special to Times Republican.
Perry, Oct. 2O.-The blowing OF the
fire whistle at eleven O'Clock Friday
evening aroused the town to search
Engineer and Mrs. Warren. The lit
| tie fellow was last seen wading in the
water at the side OF the streets bu.
might have lost his way in the rain
storm. Searching parties We're out all
might but no sign of the missing boy
could be found and up to late hour
today the parents are still grief stricken
for the lost one.
The boy came down town shortly
after school with his older brother.
but fell in with some companions of
near his own age, who improved the
opportunity, following the rain in the
afternoon, to wade in the bitches along
the sides of the streets. Master Glen
had on rubber boots and a rain cap.
Little George Crist was the only one
in the crowd last night who remember
ed seeing the boy and talking with
him as late as six o'clock in the even
ing. He was then wading In the wat
err in front Of Amnerman's grocery
store. The worst of the storm came
up about that time, and the boy has
not been seen or heard Of since.
Searching parties started out from
Fourth street and worked west to Frog
creek, looking everywhere that there
was any probability of the boy being
found excepting in the houses. others
went into other parts of town. eXamin-
ing streets, alleys, culverts, barns, etc.
There could be absolutely no clue found
to the boy Every report of any kind
whatever that might lead to the recov-
cry OF the little fellow was followed
up, but all in vain. One man reported
that he had seen Il boy put on a freight
train that went west about six o'clock.
The dispatchers caught the train crew
at Manning and asked them II there
was a boy with them. and the answer
came back that there was not. A wom-
an on West Second street said she
heard child go by her house at about
eight o'clock crying, and another on
Otley avenue said she heard a child
crying as it was going thru the storm.
The boy is believed to still be alive
and that he will be returned home
safely in few hours. He probably
wandered about in the storm until ex-
hausted and crawled in somewhere
and fell asleep, or it may be he was
taken in by somebody and put to bed
until morning, they not knowing who
he was. A few seem to think he may
have fallen down in the water while
wading and been carried down the
stream to Frog creek, which Was as
high last night as it has been for
wears.

BURLINGTON IMPROVEMENTS.
Track Work and Changes Being Made
in Southern Iowa.

Hastings. Oct 2O.-1'he material is
here on the track for the largest COM
pany coal chutes on the Iowa division
to be located at the east end of the
Hastings yard. This move is made
necessary for two reasons. First, the
water at Hastings is the best on the
line, as it is we'll water. Nearly all
other tanks along the line are sup
piled from rivers. and in wet seasons
are more or less muddy, while the
water at Hastings is always clean and
clear, and the engine men like it.
The old turn table that has done it's
duty here for so many years will be
taken out and wye" installed for
the use of the branch trains and stock
turn arounds" of which there will
be many. The depot will be moved
directly south across the tracks, where
it will be remodeled and made into
more inviting place. This will be an
improvement in many ways and will
save accidents.

Elmira.

Special to 'rimes-Republt\n.
Cedar Rapids, Oct 2O.-Nhe east

bruised about the back and shoulders,
and a mail clerk was injured, tho not
seriously.
The wreck occurred about o'clock

many trying to sleep IN the waiting
room at the union station.
The thru freight on the Rock Island,
No. 9S, is a fast train and makes no
stop, ordinarily, between Cedar Rapids
and West Liberty. There is bad
curve with deep cut near Elmira
making it one OF the worst places on
the line for collision OF such a nature
as that of Saturday night, so railway
men say.

The Unofficial Fee System.

Both bills require that all fees. official
and unofficial, shall be turned into the
treasury. Reorganization or no reorgani-
zation. this feature ought to be adopted
at once, but every consulate affected by
this change should be fully reimbursed
for the losses sustained. except in cases
where the salary and the unofficial fees
make the income larger than at other con-
sulates of the same grade. The strongest
barrier to an improvement of the service is
the unofficial fee system. 1t tempts to ex-
tcrtion; 1t creates friction among consuls:
1t often wrongs the American citizen at
home and abroad. and it is sometimes an
unjust burden to the foreigner"

DIES OF STARVATION.
Man Supposed to Have Been Resident
Of This City.

A short man, apparently about fifty-five
years old. died In New York city Wednes-
day night of starvation. 1t was regarded
as possible that he had disappeared from
this city, but the police records show no
man of his description who has left here
during the past year. His hair and mus
tache were brown mixed with gray. and
his clothing indicated that his finances had
not been In prosperous condition for long
time. His pinched features showed traces
of suffering.
Wednesday night the man appeared at the
basement door Of Michael Martins house
and his unsteady steps gave the impres
sion that he was intoxicated, but when he
said he was starving he was told that he
would be given good meal.
Take this piece Of bread and stay your
hunger until the meal can be prepared" !"
he was told.
The manner in which he devoured the
bread showed he had been without food for
a long time. After eating part OF 1t. now
ever, he became unconscious and had to be
taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. where he
died.
