When Coal Was Prohibited.

1t makes the present generation smile
TO read the accounts which have come
down to US concerning the prejudices
which were formerly entertained
against certain articles which are Of
everyday consumption.
For instance. il is said that when coal
was first used in England the prejudice
against it was SO strong that the house
of commons petitioned the king to pro-
hibit the use of the ''noXious" fuel.
A royal proclamation having failed to
abate the nuisance. q commission was
issued 10 ascertain who burned coal
within the city OF London and it's neigh
borhood, TO punish them by force for
the first offense and by tie demolition
OF their furnaces IL they persisted in
transgressing. A law was finally pass
ed making it a capital offense to burn
coal in the city and only permitting 1t
to be used by FORCES in the vicinity. 1t
is stated that among the records in the
Tower or London n document was
found according TO which man was
hanged in the time of Edward I. for TO
other crime than having been caught
burning coal. 1t took three centuries
to entirely efface the prejudice.

Antiquity of PIayine Cards.

The game of cards was first played
in the east and seems TO have had a
military origin. Cards were introduced
from Asia into Europe at the time of
the crusades and were first used by
necromancers to foretell fortunes. They
soon became II popular amusement in
the south of Europe. where the Sara
Gems and Moors taught the people how
TO use them. and card playing spread
TO all parts of the continent. The state
records of Germany mention the fact
that Rudolph l., in 1910, was fond of
the game and played with his court
iers.
After the invention OF paper the man
ufacture of cards became extensive,
but declined somewhat when card play
ing was forbidden by several of the
German states and by the English gov
eminent on account of the supposed
immoral tendency. Before the era OF
paper cards in the orient were made
of ivory, papyrus and canvas. less fire.

But Mr.. and Mrs. John Mclaughlin Leave
the Station Together.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Mclaughlin,
sos Forty-fifth street, have troubles
of their avn. A couple of weeks ago
they had n family rumpus and were
taken into court, each at the instiga-
ton of the other. The husband fin
ally came to the conclusion that he
was bound to get the worst of il in
having to pay the damages, even if
he proved his case against his wife,
so he pleaded guilty to a breach of
the peace and was fined So.
Today Mr.. and Mrs. Mclaughlin
sent in each separate and urgent
calls for an officer to take care of the
other. Officer Moody responded and
brought both of them to the station.
There Magistrate Johnson sat in
formally on the case. 1t developed
that the head of the house wanted
nothing but a chance to pack his
grip and get away and this the wife
agreed to grant, after both had been
gwen n heap of good advice by the
magistrates. When Mr.. Mclaughlin
started away he asked his wife if she
would go along and both left the sta
ton together, probably to patch up n
reconciliation on the way.

HEMMED IN BY FIRE
Crowd of Men Break Through
Window of Thiermann's,
Saloon.
ARE CUT BY THE GLASS
An Exciting Affair on FOurth Avenue
and Eighteenth Street
Yesterday.

a person passing Ed Thiermann's
saloon on the corner of Eighteenth
street and Fourth avenue about 4:30
yesterday afternoon might have been
astounded to see about a dozen men
come squirming and tumbling
through the east window sashes,
pushing the glass out before them
and bringing up in a heap on the side
walk gasping for air, with smoke
pouring through the window after
them. That was just what happened,
as the broken window, pavement COW
cred with glass and singed wood
work and whiskers of some of the in
mates of the place abundantly testi-
fed today.
Yesterday was just the sort of day
when good portion of the citizens
hunt the back door entrance to es-
cape the inclemency of the elements.
Thiermann's, in common with the
other places about town, held an I'M
usually large crowd.
Lamp ExpIOdes-
About the time stated the proprie-
tor prepared to light up the place
with the big gas lamp. He took the
lamp down on the floor and turned on
an air pump to begin the generation
of the gas that is necessary before
the light will begin to burn. The gas
was generated. When n match was
applied there was an explosion that
wrecked the tank of the lamp and
scattered the burning oil all about
the interior of the place. Thiermann,
with considerable presence of mind,
n hn In nd
door by the pump which was at
tached to it with a rubber hose, and
finally brought up with it in the back
yard, but not before the entire in
side of the back end of the place was
in flames. cutting off the only avenue
of escape of those inside.
Beat Out Glass
The other inmates of the saloon
were in the front part of the room
when the explosion took place. The
air at once became sitting and the
heat intense. There was a rush for
the front door, but, in accordance
with the city ordinance it was locked
and refused to open. Several rushed
for the window and with their hands
beat out the glasses and tumbled
through. The last man out was SO
badly suffocated that it was neces
sary to drag him out. The injuries
of the party consisted of a few minor
burns and singes and some scratches
and cuts sustained in breaking and
getting through the glass.
The fire department was hastily
summoned and arrived in time to con-
fine the blaze to a mere scorching of
the woodwork.

Joseph K. Fezler Stricken With
Paralysis While Driving Near
Coal Valley.
UNCONSCIOUS WHEN HE Is FOUND
Now i'm n Critical Condition at His
Home on Twenty-fourth
Street.

Joseph X. Fezler, the veteran Rock
Island engineer, lies in a critical con-
dition at his home, $50 Twenty-fourth
street, as the result of a stroke of
paralysis sustained Saturday under
rather unusual circumstances.
Early Saturday morning Mr.. Fezler
started to drive to his farm near
Cambridge in Henry county to leave
his horse there for the winter. He
was apparently in the best of health
when he reached the vicinity of Coal
Valley, however, he noticed numb
ness i'll the lower part of his body
that he attributed to sitting in the
same position during the long drive.
He thought little of it at first, but il
became worse and when he was about
half way from Coal Valley to Orion
he appears to have become uncon-
scious. He remembers having at
tempted to alight from the rig, but
that is all.
Unconscious In Road.
Some time later n boy picking corn
in n field beside the road noticed the
horse standing in the road and on
going tn investigate found the rig
overturned and Mr.. Fezler lying i'm
the road. Summoning help he re-
moved the unconscious man to the
home of farmer named Noruuist
and summoned DIR. Meyers, of Coal
Valley. The strange part of Il is
that the identity of MIR. Fezlcr re-
manned unknown for some time and
IL was not tin yesterday morning
that the police in this city received n
telephone message stating that n
man supposed tn bc he had been
found in an unconscious condition in
che country,
Help sent.
When the members of the family
here were informed of the message
help was sent out ut once and in the
evening Mr.. Fczlcr, who had partly
recovered consciousness, was taken
in spring wagon to Orion and
brought to this city on the evening
y train. He was met at the station
with the ambulance and removed to
his home, where today he is reported
as resting somewhat easier. The
lower part of his body, however, con-
tinues to be numb and the kidneys
do not properly perform their func-
ton, a condition which causes grave
apprehension in the minds of the at
tending physicians.
