ONE result Of the prolonged coal
strike is the importation OF coal.
Several days ago a consignment OF
Welsh anthracite reached New York
1t was the first cargo to come here
from Wales, as direct consequence
of the domestic coal SITUATION. but
more is on the way. The Herald
reports that two cargOes, now atioat
include about 5000 tons Of Welsh,
anthracite ut is reported, y says
the Herald, that orders have been
placed in Wales for hundreds of
thousands of tons Of anthracite,
and that contracts have been made
for the immediate shipment to this
city OF from 20, 900 to 30, zoe tons.
As anthracite comes i'll duty free,
it can probably be pat on the mar
ket at better figures than the New
York dealers are now asking,

supplied from abroad. Coal lmpOr-
tation may figure at New York or

BANKERS RESERVE LIFE
This Name and the Excellent Life
Company For Which 1t Stands
Continues
THE FAvoRITE COMPANY
OF the West, As IL IL the Most AgGreh-
sive and Successful of Western
Associations.

When the Bankers Reserve Life associ-
alton entered upon Its successful career
President B.. II. Robson, its founder, an
nounced that the new company would pro-
vide Nebraskans a home organization for
the protection of their families.
On this principle the Bankers Reserve
Life has built itself into the hearts of the
people Of the west and by economical
management, prompt payment of losses,
up-to-date contracts and aggressive bust
ness efforts has established In Omaha a
frst-elass company.
Within two years the volume OF bust
ness of the Bankers Reserve Life assoc a.
tion Will have reached the handsome sum
Of $40. 900, 600 and the annual new business
will shortly reach $1,000. 900.
within FIVE years from this date the
great Nebraska company will be writing
$5,00O,O 900 per annum
These phenomenal figures represent a
rapid increase of risks. but they import
also a substantial growth upon a secure
foundation.
For every single dollar Of actual liability
represented by this IS, 900, 900 at risk the
young organization has assets Of IS.
These assets are growing as the business
Of the company expands.
Every month now carries into the
available assets of the company a hand
some sun which under the charter of the
company must be invested in Nebraska
securities.
The Bankers Reserve Life is a pro-
nounced success. 1t is one Of the perman-
sEs institutions or the growing west, as
secure for the future as any nduciary in
stitution in this important section Of our
great nation.
President B. H. Robson needs energetic,
experienced and successful life underwrit-
ers. No better field is open and no bet
ter company offers the life insurance
solicitors a better form of policy or more
liberal terms. Write him for terms.

II the Birmingham man does not care to
buy a gas stove the city will put in one
for him at a rent Of 2 cents a week or $1.O4
a year, or he can have a larger stove
for 8 cents per week. A small gas boiler
about as big around as a tea plate, with
little holes about the edge, Is furnished for
nothing.
The gas for poor people Is largely dis
tributed through penny-in-the-slot meters.
These meters are like the ordinary gas
meters save that each has a hole In the
top. Dropping a penny in the hole opens
a valve, which let's out enough gas to run
three burners for three hours. The gas can
be turned on and of, so that the econom-
ical man can burn less and have his lights
for perhaps / cent per night. The meter
is connected also with a gas stove, and
am told that 1 penny will give enough gas
to cook a dinner for a family. There are
other meters so arranged that you can put
a shilling in the slot and get a proportion
ately larger amount OF gas. These meters
are used to some extent by the better class
families. 1 noticed especially that all the
flexible connecting tubes in this gas office
were Of American make, and the manager
told me that the city bought all such sup
plies from the United States.

WILL MORGAN BUY TREM OUT?
Believed That His Company Will Take Harris
Gates Holdings in L N.
(By the Associated Press

New York, Aug. THE unusual
strength and activity of Louisville and
Nashville shares today gave rise to a
variety of rumors, the substance of
which was that the trouble which grew
out of the attempt to corner the stock
last spring had been settled in way
satisfactory to all concerned. These ru-
mors were confirmed in part by persons
in authority, but nothing like a definite
statement ON the subject was obtain
able.
August Belmont chairman of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad and
Samuel Spencer, president of the South
ern Railway, conferred with representa-
tives of j. p. Morgan C Company during
the day, and the return to town of John
w. Gates, coupled with his protracted
visit to Morgan & Companys office,
were regarded as of more than passing
Importance.
The story most persistently circulated
was that Morgan & Company, who are
believed to hold 10000 shares of Louis
Vile and Nashville, for which they paid
about 100 according to report, have
agreed to buy the Harris Gates holdings,
estimated at something like $1,000
shares for 80.
Questioned on this point member of
the Morgan firm said:
I'VE are not in position to say any
thing about Louisville and Nashville, but
there are no differences and there will
be none"
Coincident with the movement in the
Louisville and Nashville was the sharp
rise in Illinois Central, Hooking Valley
issues and Nashville and Chattanooga.
So far as surface indications went moth
ing developed to connect the movement
in these stocks with the reported settle
ment in Louisville and Nashville.
