SELLING COAL AT CUT RATE.
But the Combines Figures Are
NOminaIIy in Effect

The present soft weather has had an evil
dent effect upon the price Of hard coal and
that commodity is selling at reduced rates
The reduction, however, is not a general one
nor is 1t officially recognized by the retail
dealers. But 1t can be had on application
nevertheless.
local dealer was asked by a reporter for
the G o g yesterday afternoon concerning
the statement that the rate had been gener-
ally lowered. 4 cannot say that prices have
been reduced, was the reply. "It is true
that the coal business has fallen off largely
during tae past two or three weeks In fact
people are about out of coal. If any man
wants to buy fifteen or twenty tons of coal
a dealer will probably knock OF so cents on
a ton in order to secure the business, as
competition is very sharp. / do not expect
that this state of affairs will last long, as
cold weather will soon return and the bins
will have to be rehlled. l will say that strict
iy speaking, coal still sells for 1885 a ton
People had the idea thar by burning wood
or oil they could break the combine and re-
duce the price, but they have not done it vet
and any local influence could not break it.
The big companies own all the coal on the
docks at the head of the lake. and they can
hold it or sell it at a high price, just as they
like
do you anticipate that the railroads will
reduce the rate to st. Paul and make lower
prices possible?" was asked of the dealer
Il do not expect anything Of the sort The
rates were cut last summer but that was
because certain railroads interested in illinois
coal brought il to st. Paul for S135 a ton
and the roads from the head Of the lakes were
forced to meet the rate to hold their prices
The competition resulted in again excluding
Illinois coal, and now we are getting nothing
but Pennsylvania and Ohio COAL

ONLY ONE WEEK MORE
BEFORE CHRISTMAS EVE WILL BE
RIGHT AMONG US.
Prepare Yourself by Getting an
Assignee Sale Piano Before
They Are All Gone.

A week from tonight will be Christ
mas eve 1t will be the night before
Christmas, when all through the house,
not a creature is stirring, not even a
mouse. Leastwise that is the apocry-
phal condition, according to poetic IL
cense, but if you have had the good
judgment TO come to 40 East Seventh
street, between Cedar and Minnesota,
where the Munger Assignee Piano Sale
is in progress, and had Piano rolled
into your parlor Christmas Eve your
whole family will be stirring that mem
orable night They'll be too joyous
to sleep and you'll feel the merriest OF
the lot, because you will SO much enjoy
the happiness of your wife and chill
dren. When<a cash payment Of $25 and
$40 per month for the balance will do
this and give you a grade of piano
such as never has been offered at the
prices | make don't you think it's an
opportunity you can't afford to lose?
l have been in business in st.
Paul for sixteen years, and challenge
any one to find piano or organ which
l have sold which has not proved ex-
actly as represented. But I don't charge
my customers anything extra on that
account. I notice some dealers are Of
fering their Christian example as
their great bargain, with their pianos
secondary. I don't believe in making
merchandise of goodness, but am will
ing to have my reputation for fair
dealing compared with any other in
this line of business. When a dealer
wants to sell a piano. based on his
personal virtue, you had better exam
Inc the instrument pretty closely.
The Munger stock was the highest
grade ever carried by a dealer in the
Northwest His creditors have au--
thorized me to turn it into cash and
notes regardless Of their loss That's
can get such high grade pianos for
business DEAL and the fellows who
shout Bogus, evidently feel a little
hostility to that kind Of business.
Look at these for Christmas:
Basins upright, large size, beautiful
Circassian walnut case, never sold by
any dealer for less than $500. 1t possesses
an exquisite quality of tone and a per-
feet action. Do you want this we'll
known piano for $24S with stool and
scarf?
The famous New England upright,
massive mahogany case, with extra
moulded ends, hand carved trusses and
pilasters of solid mahogany engraved
panels, French repeating action, an or
nament to the finest home in the city,
should sell for $425, we say, $212 with
stool and scarf
Ten good upright pianos, $95 to $40.
No charge for stools and scarf.
They won't be here a great while. Out

COUNTY SALARIES FIXED.
commissioners Work All Ended,
Except Their Report.

The county commissioners have ceased
holding executive sessions for the considera-
ton of the salaries to DE paid the county
officials, having practically fixed the amounts.
The whole matter has been referred to the
committee appointed to draft resolutions to
govern each Of the county offices. The reso-
luton Will not only specify the salaries to
be paid, but also the number of deputies
clerks and other assistants that the county
officials will be allowed TO employ during
each month in the year for the ensuing five
years The committee will make it's report
some time next week.
The salaries as agreed upon up to date
though there is a possibility Of one or two
slight changes before final action is taken
are as follows:
For the sheriff county auditor, county at
deeds, $3,S09 each Fer annum; for the county
surveyor $500, and for the abstract clerk
not more than s., 200. In view of this re-
duction in the compensation of the officials
receiving fees, it was thought that the salary
of the coroner, who now receives So 500 a
year, ought to be reduced to 81, $50 or s. 500.
One or other of these figures will undoubt-
eddy be fixed urcn.
1T seems to me- said a prominent attor-
ney last evening that the action of the
fixing up salaries for the county officers, at
least where the offices are fee ones. is a
waste CT tire. In the first place, the law
under the decision of the supreme court in
the board of public works case is clearly
unconstitutional. Another point that looks
bad to me is that there is no provision In the
law as to what is to become of the fees even
should the officers be put on a salary. AS
/ understand 1t, the bill was passed two
years ago simply as a party measure and
with the understanding at the time that it
was purely for political effect. About the
only thing the county commissioners can do
own salaries, and possibly that of the court
commissioner"

MI Kellogg commended that, there
fore the vote of Higden should be
thrown out. 1t was evident that the
county canvassing board had ignored
the apparent fact that the vote had
not been in accordance with the in
structions on the ticket, viz: That each
voter should vote on but one PROPOSE
ton He cited number of decisions
to establish the illegality of the return
as. made, and demanded that the re-
turns from Higden be thrown out
That would deduct five votes from the
number in favor Of Garfield county,
leaving 59S, and would deduct thirteen
from the number against 1t. leaving
595. The county would thus get in by
a small plurality. Judge Stuart created
some interest by suggesting that Gar
field county, judging from its shape,
was only a gerrymander anyway. Mr..
K ellogg secuted this, although he ad-
mitted that SO far as he knew, they
might all be gerrymanders. He main
tanned, however, that the state canvas
sing board was quasi-judicial body,
and should consider returns made as
such In this view of the case he was
of the opinion that the returns from
Higden must be thrown out. The
question was taken under advisement
by the board which viii meet again

Cable ACCIDENT VICTIMS.

The victims Of the cable accident rested
comfortably yesterday under the care Of ply
sicians. and it is thought that no more seri-
Gus injuries than were at first reported will
result to the wounded. Miss Holmberg is the
most seriously hurt, and while her injuries
are very bad, she is doing as well as could
be expected under the circumstances. No
complications were developed in the case of
Miss Munson, though it is not yet certain
that her spine was not injured in the colls-
ion. Henry S. Young is not in precarious
condition, but it is possibility that some Of
his bruises may be productive Of internal
injuries. Conductor Nassau is lame as a re-
suit of the crushing his leg was subject to,
but will not be incapitated for any length OF
time.
