Speaking for the plant in this city. he said
that the cabacity Will be increased very

COTTON PICKERS SCARCE.

this season the complaint seems to be un-
usually well grounced. for the availapie

when these agents commence work In I've

Railroad construction work has drawn

NO INCREASE
IN PRICE Of COAL,
st. Louis Dealer Says Production
Is Great as sEver-Obstacles
to a Combination.

Despite reiterated rumors of a proposed
coal combine. including practically ali the
coal-mining companies of Illinois. a st.
Louis dealer who has closely watched de-
velopnents in this field declares that there
In prices this winter.
There is much coal as ever" says
this man. Scarcity of cars to haul it
from the mine might possibly force an in
crease of price. but nothing else can"
So far as local coal men are informed the
talk of a combine has been without founda-
tion- j. Pierpont Morgan has denied that
he was back of the enterprise and others
have corroborated his statement
The real stumbling block lies in the op-
position coming from the railroads. The
Consolidated Coal Company of st. Louis
and the Madison Coal Company are prac-
ucaliy owned by railroad companies. Vice
President Wells of the Wabash Railroad
company Is president Of the Consolidate
Coal Company. Vice President Harrahan
OF the Illinois Central Company is at the
head of the Madison Coal Company.
10 acquire possession of these mines
owned by the railroad companies at least
under their control. the latter would require
an iron-ciad contract that the price to them
should not be raised. Unless such a con-
tract was made the railroad companies
wuoid exact a corresponding shipping rate
which would mean the same thing. The Illi-
nois Central Railroad Company uses 1000
tons of coal a day.
Another obstacle In the way Of a COM
bine for the Illinois mines lies i'm the fact
mat heariy every farm in the mining ois-
tricts lies over beds Of coal. and it would
be an easy matter for independen, cam
pahies 10 procure coal and market il in op-
position TO the combine.

PROOF OF DEATH WAS A SHOE.
BY This Means Charles Shelton of
st. Louis Identifies Sons Body.

All the proof that Charles T. Shelton of
No. 1896 Pierce avenue has of his 15-year-
old sons death is his shoe. but this evil
dence. with other circumstances has thor
oughly convinced him that the body buried
last Saturday in AJAX Hill Cemetery,
near kirkwood, was the remains Of his
boy.
John L. Shelton. the missing son. is be-
lieved to have been found dead in Glaize
Creek. near Valley Park. last Thursday
and Coroner Armstrong. who held the in
quest. thought that he had either been hit
by a train had fallen from one. This
supposition, according to a letter received
yesterday by the Parker Bros. Under
taking Company in Webster Groves, proved
to be a correct one
The letter was from J. S. Casey. a mer-
named Smith had come to his store and
said his companion. John l.. Shelton. had
fallen off the top OF freight train
shortly after they left ST. Louis last Thurs
day. He said they lived at Dixon. Mo-.
and had run away from home to St. Louis
Tiring of the city and penniless, they tried
to beat their way back home.
Mr.. Parker kept the body for two days
and then buried it On Sunday Mr.. shelton
who lives In st. Louis. called at the rooms
to view the remains. day had elapsed
since the burial. As soon he saw the
shoes, he declared they were his sons.
The body had fallen into a bed OF dry
sand, face downward. and Doctor Arm
strong says that a perfect imprint of his
features was left there Every detail. even
to the buttons on his clothes. are shown.
The doctor says IL Is the most remarkable
cast he ever saw. and IL has attracted con-
siderable attention in Valley Park.

GREAT WHEAT CROP
OFFSETS CORN LOSSES
Director of the Mint Roberts Saws
Farmers Do Not Seem at
All Discouraged.
REPTBLIC SPECIAL


Washington. Aug. 19.-George f. Roberts.
Director OF the Mint has returned from a
trip through the West. He said this even
ing:
The corn crop has been hard hit. and ii
would be a very serious matter were it not
that the West has 50 much money in its
wheat. 1t has been the greatest wheat crop
ever raised. and with short crops abroad. 1t
is bringing a great deal of money. Kansas
and Nebraska have done so well on wheat
that they are in a position to stand the less
on corn.
Minnesota and the Dakotas are better
off than last year. But the loss on corn
will be felt all through the great cattle
and hog producing States. 1t means dearer
feed and meats.
THE encouraging feature of the situa-
tion is the cheerful manner in which 1t is
accepted. Nobody seems discouraged, i'm
provements are going on. trade is good, and
everybody seems able to stand Ii without
making sacrifices. II is convincing proof
of the fact that the farmers of the West are
on Easy street financially.
Farm lands are everywhere advancing in
value. and there Is an active movement in
them. There seems TO be no good reason
why that kind of prosperity should not run
on indefinitely
