MATTER OF COAL.
Local Dealers Taking Orders at
Old Prices,
They Smile When Referred to the Minis
neapOlis Conditions, But
Say Nothing.

The Minneapolis Journal last night
in commenting upon the hard Goa
situation in the cities an referring tc
the fact that four of the large COM
panies handling that fuel in that city
had refused to take new orders on
Tuesday, says:
1.-THE situation is even worse today,
as all but two of the eight companies
who have dock facilities at the head
of the lakes, and who absolutely con-
troll the supply of anthracite coal in
the northwest, have withdrawn from
the market.
THE situation is re garded as ex-
tremely critical by every coal dealer
in Minneapolis and st. Paul The
only hope they have is speedy settle
ment of the great strike which has
thrown more than 100, 900 miners out
of work. If that struggle is prolonged
for a few weeks there will not be a
scuttleful of hard coal for sale in the
northwest at any price.
THE coal men are completely at sea.
Their operationsare of course determin-
ed by conditions in the eastern mines,
and aside from their Geographic orders
to stop selling anthracite coal, they
know as little of the outcome of the
present difficulties as the average citi-
zen
The two firms taking orders yester-
day were charging $7.75 and $S.25
respectively. The dealers there esti-
mate that only about 20 per cent of
those who use hard coal, have yet Or
dered their winter supply. Continuing
the Journal says THE dealers say
that everything depends upon the
strike. Some of them have coal
enough to supply their customers. but
they positively decline to take any
new orders. They protest they have
not got the coal in sight, and cannot
sell what they cannot deliver.
IF the strike continues until after
the close of navigation, the shortage
in the northwestern market will have
to be brought in all rail, and the
great advance in freight rates which
this condition must induce will put
the price of the anthracite product
Just inside the prohibitive limit. This
is the opinion of the dealers who are
as badly mixed as their customers.
Every attempt is being made to fill Or
ders and clean up present obligations.
Then the coal men will do the best
they can to supply everybody's needs,
but at present they are up against a
stone wall.
"While, the anthracite product has
about passed beyond the reach of con-
sumers, there is good supply of soft
coal at the head of the lakes. This
fact is encouraging to both the con-
sumers and the coal men. They say if
the worst comes to the worst, people
will make use of the bituminous cod
and manage some way to keep sup
ply of fuel. -
Local dealers seen by the Free Press
today smiled when referred to the
above and said that while there might
be something in it, they were still
taking orders at old prices and for all
that they knew would be able to
handle all that come AS to the future
they all profess to know nothing and
would not be quoted.

were on sale, the y, ,Jsqdle wheel ven ded

of $3.50 was realized from the days
business.
A business meeting of the Christian
endeavor society will be held at the
Lake house this evening, for the pur-
pose of electing officers for the ensuing

and Durrin went to LIE Sueur Center

The Free Press of Monday brought
the first intelligence to the people here
of the terrible affair in which Mrs.
Van Lew is involved. The reading
of the news caused CONSERVATION on
every hand, for Mrs. Van Liew. dur
ing the many summers she has spent
here, has made a large number of
friends, none of whom saw any signs
that such an event would ever occur
in her life. 1t is the hope of her friends
here that there is mistake, and that
investigation will prove her innocent.
DR.. Benham has bought the Davey
house and lots, north of the railroad
tracks, and will build an addition
thereto and move his family in before
winter comes.
A letter from Charles F. Sawyer,
who was the principal of our schools
last year, brings word that he will go
to Chicago this fall and enter North
western university. Mr.. Sawyer S
ambition is to become a bones,
and that school will give him the de-
gree of A. B. and also that of M. D.
in four years-one year in the liberal
arts department and three in the
medical school. Mr.. Sawyer is a tai
ented young gentleman, and we wish
him rapid progress and su ccess in his
profession.
L E. Thompson came home Sunday
evening and visited with his family
until Monday noon. He will this week
enter the employ of the Northwestern
railway, quitting the picture bust
ness. He will be stationed some
where in South Dakota, at just what
town he does not yet know. Mrs.
Thompson and the children start this
week to join the head of the family.
Mr.. Thompson was very accomodat-
ing and genial agent while here, and
the good wishes of all patrons of this
depot follow him to his new field of
labor. Mrs. Thompson was prominent
in church, lodge and social affairs,
and will be greatly missed.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Kramer and Mr.
and Mrs. j. H. Gerlach, of Elysian,
were among the number who came
from that place to the picnic Sunday.

TAX COM. MEETS.
The Balance of the Council
Members Also Present.
The Current Fund is Cut Down $1,000,
While the Road Fund is
Raised $4,000.

The city committee on taxes met at
the city hall last evening. An invita-
ton was extended to the other mem
bers of the council and all were pre-
sent
Matters appertaining to taxes were
freely discussed and it was decided to
raise $43, 900 for the coming year,
this amount to be placed in the funds
and distributed as follows:
Current fund, $40, 900; road fund,
SO, 900; interest fund, &c. 500; park
fund $4,000; library fund, $4,000 ;
bills payable. $4,000; sinking fund,
$500.
The current fund was cut So, 900,
while the road fund has been raised
So, 900 as compared with last year S
figures.
A discussion arose among the alder
men why the road fund should be
So, 900 higher than last year. The
committee on taxes answered that the
bridge across the river needs replank-
ing which will cost in the neighbor-
hood of 81, 900. Storm sewers must be
laid to catch the water coming down
the hill and that Front street needs a
general overhauling and they did not
think that the amount to be placed to
the credit of the road fund would be
any too great. No provision was made
for culverts at this time.
The members of the council in
charge of the fire committee visited
the fire station to look over the needed
repairs in the line of plastering and
cementing of the floor in the basement.
These matters will be brought before
the council at their regular meeting
tomorrow night.
The total levy as recommended will
be So, 900 less than last year.
