Believes in Cyclone Caves.

An Iowa editor has the following to
say OF cyclones: ave belong to the
fellows that would rather keep a cy.
clone cave in repair 514 days and
three months than to have chair leg
driven through our liver. We have al
ways been a little timid and ticklish
in spots anyway, and when we think
OF having a rolling pin punched
through our pancreas, or q box car
showed into our watch pocket, 1t
makes a cyclone cave look like fairy
castle, and we'd rather roost behind
an old krout barrel with a cobweb as
big DIS dishpan hanging on our nose
than to see pendulous ficadoodle
Of a cyclone Hopping our devoted
head. We have never had to climb
tree to pick the children or hired
girl, and have never had any hen
feathers driven through the rose
wood top Of our piano, but we have
hustled the whole caboodle into a
cave two or three times, and the reas-
we went i'll last was because the rest
could outrun u.s."

the prominent issues before the peo-
pie in 1900.

CONDITION OF THE COAL TRADE
What the Engineering and Mining
Journal Says About It.

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal Of Saturday had the following of
the condition of the anthracite coal
trade:
I'm the west the demand for anthra-
cite Is as strong as ever dealers an
ticipatng great fall and wuter
business, and in Chicago territory the
trade Is In better shape than for sew
eral years. The receipts Of coal at
upper lake ports, though ahead of last
years figures at this time do not seem
able to keep docks supplied with oil
the sizes wanted. Lake freight rates
apparently will stay mp well, in fact
September frcights down the lakes will
he the highest in some years. This
being the case, II Is likely that a lot
Of coal will have to go forward by
rail.
Trade at points between Buffalo
and Chicago is reported in very good
shape. In the east, business Is bound
TO drag a little for a few weeks, So
far as reported, all the principal pro-
ducng companies cancelled all or
ders for coal at the June figures not
filed on Aug. I, and anybody that
wants coal now is expected to pay
the 25 cents advance. AS New York
and Philadelphia are so near the coal
fields that coal can be got forward
quickly, dealers will probably wait and
see how firmly this 25 cent advance is
maintained If no orders come in for n
| month or more. Shipments TO Sound
ports and points beyond Cape Cod
| have been very heavy of late.
AT the COllieries we hear of spor-
| adic labor troubles and more or less
| unrest among employees. Still it looks
now as though the year would go with
| out any general disturbance. Pro-
| duction continues rather heavy for
! this season of the year. and no doubt
| considerable coal has gone into storage
at Eastern points. Quotations are firm
| at the July prices

FRED SMITH EXPLAINS,
Tells Why He Stole Liveryman
Bellies Horse and Carriage-Very

His young wife and he were in sad
circumstances, without money and
friends. At Newark she has a grand
mother, and If they could reach there,
all would be we'll Transportation by
train was not to be considered, they
being penniless. Becoming desperate.
Smith went to Bellies livery, as has
been told in The Tribune, and engaged
the outfit for the day, stating he was
going to Waverly.
Not acquainting his wife of the
manner he secured the horse and car
riage, they started for New Jersey,
making the trip in three days. He
traded horses twice, once at Portland,
this state, where he received forty
cents besides his new horse. The
second deal was made on turnpike
near Washington, n. j., he also re-
ceiving a small sum in the bargain.
Reaching Newark, Smith offered the
outfit for sale, for $40. He will be
brought back to this city and held to
await trial Detective John Moir will
leave for Newark, when the requisi-
tiOn papers are received from New
Jerseys governor.
Liveryman Bellies has gone to New
ark to identify Smith, and will go to
Portland where his horse was traded
and have it shipped to this city.
