COAL TO Be HIGHER.
Expected the Miners Strike Will
Affect the Local Market
Before Long.
ANTHRACITE RAISES ST IN CHICAGO
Said to Be a Good Supply on
Hand, But Not Enough to
Meet Demand.

Chicago papers announce an ad-
vance in the price of anthracite coal
of about dollar ton. While this has
not so far affected local dealers, it is
o .ly question of a short time when
they will be forced to meet the adj
vance. The immediate cause of the
rise is probably the strike now on in
the anthracite regions of Pennsylva-
MIA, and there are those who say that
the coal operators are encouraging the
strike in order to get rid of the sur
plus output now on hand. However,
there has been a strong tendency ever
since last season to put up the price,
and one attempt in that direction
miscarried. There is an increasing
sea board demand for hard coal and
the smokeless grades of soft coal.
The European countries, as well as the
navies of the world, are using rapidly
increasing quantities, and for the
same reason: that of economy of
space in transportation. In all prob
ability the price of West Virginia
smokeless will follow closely after
that of anthracite coal, and the length
of the strike is the only element that
will limit the ultimate price of both.
East Greatest Sufferer.
OF course the east will suffer more
than the west, for nine-tenths of the
hard coal consumed in this country is
used east of Chicago. 1t has been es-
timated that there is sufficient of the
product now On hand in Chicago and
Milwaukee to supply the west till the
first of January, but this is probably
not true. A large number of country
dealers have neglected to lay in their
winters stock, hoping for more favor
able prices, and when they begin to
order. the supply will soon become
exhausted. Wholesale dealers are not
fixing prices in advance, but sell only
subject TO those prevailing at the time
of delivery. Hard coal is now selling
in the local market for $3.50 per ton,
or % cents cheaper than in adjoining
cities.
1t is not expected that bituminous
coal will be affected by the rise. The
demand has not increased over that of
last year and the cost of mining is the
same. having been settled by the
union scale. If there is any advance
it will come through a combination
of the operators for the purpose of in
creasing profits.

DENTON FoUKE HAS
BEEN SEEN AGAIN

Denton Fouke, the alleged murderer
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bobbs, at Freeport,
seems to have the faculty of being in
several places at once. A week ago
he was reported to have been seen in
Edgington. Later suspect was ar
rested a Andalusia, but was released
after the authorities were satisfied he
was not Fouke. The Rockford Star
claims Fouke is in the vicinity of Leaf
River. and gives the particulars as
follows:
About 2 O'Clock Wednesday morn
ing member of the family of Samuel
Kendall. who lives two miles south
west of Leaf River, were awakened
by the noise of some one using the
pump. They looked an 1 saw a man
getting drink. After satisfying his
thirst he FASTENED to a cornfield close
by and disappeared from view.
''Iu the afternoon a young son of
Mr.. Kendall, while driving by the
cornfeld, came upon Fouke unexpect-
edly. He knew the man well, as
Fouke formerly resided in Mt. Morris,
only a short distance away. When
Fouke saw young Kendall, he flung
himself fat on the ground. face down.
and thrust his arms around his head
20 that the boy would not recognize
him.
Young Kendall was not fooled, but
ne was badly frightened, as he had
heard that Fouke was accused Of the
awful crime of murder. He whipped
up the horses, and arriving in town,
N Notified the DeoDle
"A party was at once formed to
visit the cornfeld. About twenty
men, the majority armed with shot
guns and Ievolvers, hurried to
Fouke's hiding place. Surrounding
the field, they marched into the field
ready to shoot. Nearly every foot of
the field was covered. but Fouke had
vanished. Evidently he had lost no
time in moving out after young Ken
dali drove on.
The party found fire and rem
nants of a chicken which Fouke had
cooked. The indications were that
he had been in the cornfield for sew
Ieral days. Further search was II ade,
but the man had made good his es-
cape"
And now comes the absolute an
nouncement from the Rockford Ga
zette that Fouke mas been arrested at
Freeport by the sheriff of Stephen
son county and is at last safely landed
in Jail there.
