1t is reported that the recent advance
of 81 cents a ton in the price of coal In
this city, Is likely to be followed by an
otner advance. One of the prominen
dealers said yesterday that all orders
which had not been shipped from ship
ping points had been cancelled. There
is only about a supply of three weeks at
present. While there may not be a coal
famine the outlook is that the supply
will run very short. Under the new ar
pea coal Is So q ton; Cumber-
land, which has not changed, is $4.25 a
ton; egg, stove and chestnut, S. ton;
and Franklin, $3.50 ton.

GORHAM.

The loss of votes by defective ballots
has created considerable discussion in the
town OF Gorham. Whether this
unfavorable condition can be provided
for and prevented is an Important ques-
ton. The present law has been in opera
ton for several years and each election
shows about the same number of 1rregu-
larities and consequently many voters
lose their votes on this account. 1t seems
proper that each town should make pub
lie the particular cause of so many irreg-
uIarities that the voter may learn how
to correct the same errors in the future.
There were sixteen ballots thrown in
Gorham which were not counted. The
reason they were not counted was that
the voter failed to make the proper cross
IN the SO uare over the party nomination.
Three ballots of this number the voter
put his cross on the outside of the large
square in proximity to the word Republi-
can, Democrat and Prohibition, thus each
party lost one vote of the sixteen. One
ballot was clean without a cross any
where, The other ballots were unmarked
on either of the squares and from stick
ers that were placed upon the ballot it is
evident that the Democratic andgRepubll-
can party lost six votes each for nearly all
of the candidates. S, r. Pearson
the candidate for sheriff would have had
eleven votes more than he did if these
votes had been designated by the legal
cross at the head of the ticket. 1t is I'M
derstood that the same condition applies
more or less to every town in the State
and certainly demands some remedy.

The athlete who uses Omega OIL as a
rub down viii finish the race quicker
than the athlete who does not use 1t.
The OIL gives strength and endurance.
lthardens the muscles and makes the
flesh firm. It loosens up the joints. It
should be used freely both before and
after exercise. It contains a wonderfully
soothing and strengthening green herb
from the Alps mountains. This herb is
the real thing that makes Omega Oil 50
famous and so good. There is no other
liniment in all the world like it in any
respect whatever.
Among the thousands of athletes
who use Omega Oil as a daily rub down,
no one thinks more of it than DO. My
trainer agrees with me in declaring it a
liniment of amazing Strengthening and
soothing power"
