Anthracite Coal Trade.

The anthracite coal trade is beginning
to show signs of weakness. The demand
S less than it was expected to be at
this time, due not only to a reduced
consumption but to the policy of large
dealers who are postponing purchases
with the idea that prices will be lower
month hence. There is little doubt
that, some of the New York companies
are cutting prices. The very best evil
dence that cutting is going on is the
fact that the companies holding to the
circular are getting no business, while
other companies are moving nearly all
their output.
There will be no activity in the trade
until the spring prices are fixed, about
the middle Of next month.

The annual meeting of election judges
N the Middle Coal Field poor district,
ut the almshouse in Lowrytown, took
,lace on Tuesday. This farce costs the
4axpayers of the district over $500 an

necessary. The returns from each dis
trict at every election of poor director
ire made at the prothonotarys Office of
Carbon county, and there need be no
extra count made at the poor house.
The directors of the district cannot
discontinue this meeting unless the law
Ealing for same be annulled. 1t may
not be generally known, but special
aw of this state makes the return Judge
lay necessary. This can be easily re-
Jealed if the legislator from Carbon
will ask for its repeal. No sane person
would want to oppose the bill.
When the Middle Coal Field Poor
district was first organized, there were
only seven election districts included,
but these have grown until now they
number seventy-one.. One judge from
each district was on hand last Tuesday.

Stanley Kalinoski and Miss Annie

m Saturday, and all went well until late
in the afternoon, when the happy pair
started off to enjoy a short drive before

the carriage was departing one of the

taken to Hazleton hospital for treat

taken before Squire Shovin and placed
under 81 900 bail and the other was ar
rested by Hazleton officers. The injured

Put II Combustible in His Pipe.

A decidedly peculiar accident occur
red in Luzerne Tuesday evening. 1t
happened in the building where the
band rehearses. Joseph Williams, one
of the members of the band, has an i'm
portant part to perform in one of the
bands favorite selections. 1t is mar
tial piece and in order to make it realis-
tic Joseph explodes a rifle. For this
pnrpose he keeps a stock of cartridges
on hand, which he carries in one of his
pockets. Tuesday evening he thought
he would like a smoke, and in pursu-
aDce of his desire he brought forth his
pipe and proceeded to take some tobacco
from his pocket.
In the same pocket in which he carries
his tobacco were several cartridges and,
as ill-luck would have it, one of the cart
ridges got mixed up with the weed and
formed component part in the filling
of the pipe. Joseph quietly lighted up
and settled down to comfortable
smoke. He way putting away serenly
when a loud bang" was heard. Joseph
J"'hPou eeNcidi iScI III lhe ALI anu rag
ments of pipe were scattered promiscu-
ously about the room.
The other members of the band who
were present were as much startled as
Williams, and for time pandemonum
reigned. Several minutes passed before
the strange explosion could be account
ed for. Strangely enough Williams
escaped with slight injury.

Creamery men give it as their opin-
ion that butter is on the way to higher
prices. Their receipts of cream have
fallen OFF greatly in the past few days
and they look for speedy rise in the
price of the product.
The dry spell effected the pastures
greatly. The feeding grounds dried
up very quickly and the recent rains
will not afford much relief. A much
heavier downfall is needed. One
creamery operator said that the re-
ceipts of cream at his factory fell off
SO per cent. ia three days
A prominent agriculturist advanced
an interesting reason for the decrease
in the product of the industrious COW.
He says many of the pastures are in
tested with myriads of flies which
sadly torment the cattle and prevent
them from feeding. Such a number of
the insects was never seen before. and
they seem to be new variety of pests.

THEY WANTED wATERMELoNs
Four Young Men Get Them and Fines For
It, Too.

Four young men. Joseph Everett,
William McLinden, William Gunster
and Joseph Johnson, by name, started
out Sunday night on a lark. They
were in buggy with horses attached
and were looking for watermelons.
They found them on the place of 81. 6.
Anguish, who lives on the lake road in
the town of Somers, north OF the city.
Two of the boys got over the fence
and began rummaging around. They
found the melons and were handing
them over the fence to the other two
when Mr.. Anguish appeared on the
scene. 1t was II o'clock at night but
Mr.. Anguish never sleeps when there
is anyone in his melon patch. He be-
gan a parley with the boys, but they
they didn't want to parley. They
were there for melons and must have
them. So Mr.. Anguish got the services
of Constable Truesdell and the boys
were all arrested. Mr.. Anguish told
the boys that.if they would act decent
about the affair that he would not
push them hard. Mr.. Gunster did and
went before Justice Slater this morning
and pleaded guilty to malicious mis-
chief and paid a fine of 81 and costs.
The other three fellows would not do
that, but declared they would fight the
case. So Mr.. Anguish decided to push
the charge, and otter the first one is
disposed of to charge them with lar
ceny.
1t is said that when Mr.. Anguish ap-
peared IN the scene that the boys as
saulted Aim, and that he may add the
charge of assault and battery to the
other charges.
The young men all appeared before
Justice Slater today. McLinden paid
his fine and the other two cases were
set for. trial on week from Thursday,

MR.. SIMMONS FUNERAL.
It Is Held From the House, Rev. Harry
Thompson ofhciating.


All that was mortal of the late Rouse
Simmons was laid away Monday.
The funeral was held from his late
residence on Prairie avenue at $3.50
o'clock. 1t was very largely attended
by the deceased's late business associ-
ates and many of the old settlers of the
county. The services were conducted
by Rev. Harry Thompson.
That Mr.. Simmons was one OF the
popular men of the community could
hardly have been better~attested than
in the tears which rolled down many a
furrowed cheek today when the last
sad rites were said over the late de-
parted. It can be more truly said OF
him than of almost any other man who
ever lived in Kenosha that he was the
children's friend. He was an idol OF
all childhood and many tear coursed
down tiny cheeks when the news was
passed out that Uncle Rouse" was
dead.
Mr.. Simmons was born in Marcy,
Oneida county, New York, Sept. III,
1882. When he was still small boy
the family moved to Rome, in the same
county, and shortly afterward all came
west in what was known as the Rome
colony to farm in Lake county, Ill.
The removal west came in 1913. Ezra
Simmons, the father, bought farm on
the state line where the boy Rouse
staid until 1850 when he came into Ke-
nosha and went into the business
which made his name known all over
this section of country. In 1875 he was
elected member of the state assembly
and held that Office one term. He had
several times been a member of the
board Of aldermen and of the county
board of supervisors. He had recently
been appointed deputy collector of Gus
toms for this port.
He leaves a widow and two SONS,
Samuel S. and Clayton.

STRIKE ANOTHER sNAG.
The M, R. & K. Electric Road Has More
Trouble.

The board of trustees of Racine
college have served an injunction on
the Milwaukee, Racine & Kenosha
Electric railway company, restraining
that corporation from laying tracks or
erecting poles along Main street, Ra-
cine, adjoining the college grounds on
the east. The complaint alleges that
the electric company has no right to
run a commercial road on the said
street; that it will place additional
burdens and servitude to the AUDITING
property owners; that the lake bank is
SO high and abrupt at this point that
the vibration of cars will break off and
destroy the street; that the noise of the
cars will disturb scholars at the college;
and ia fact decrease the value of the
college property and be great detri-
ment. The case will be heard here in
Kenosha, before Jadge Fish, on Sept
ember l5.
It was the desire of the electric
company to pass through the college
grounds along side of the G. & N. W.
railroad tracks, but no agreement
could be reached and the company
proposed to take the street to reach
Kenosha.
