as the eastern house that is supplying
1t can dispose of its stock alta higher
figure than the contract price with
Mr.. Snyder.
.Householders as rule are caught
without COAL and as cold weather ap-
breaches they are feeling very anxious
about their fuel supplies. They can
get very little satisfaction from the
dealers, as it is not question of price
but one of getting coal at all. The
dealers say that when they get some
coal their customers can get some,
but this is very indefinite. 1t is said
that If the strike was to be declared
off tomorrow coal would not reach
Mankato inside of two months, as
the east would absorb the first output.
Lake navigation will be closed before
that time. and all rail rates will rule.
The eastern cities are greater sufferers
than the western, as they carry short
supplies, being near the mines.
The price of wood is keeping pace
with coal, and fuel will be a greater
item in household economy this year
than ever be fore.

GETTING THE FAIR
Merchants Favor Offering SUI
ficient inducements.
Would Obtain the County Fair fol
Mankato PeaceabIy---How to
Advertise the City.

The Merchants Protective associa-
lion considered the matter of getting
the county fair moved to Mankato at
some length at its regular meeting last
night. The committee to which the
matter was referred at the last meet
ing reported that it had considered
the subject but taken no action as yet.
1t deprecated all ideas advanced as to
buying a majority of the membership
tickets and voting the fair to Man.
kato. 1t was in favor of getting the
present members of the association to
vote the fair to Mankato of their own
accord, through inducements to be
offered by this city for the location of
the fair. If enough was offered to
make it an object to move the fair
to Mankato, the committee thought
that this would be done.
The members generally coincided
with this, and two locations were
talked over as being desirable sites
for the county fair. The Burmeister
place, between Sibley park and the
river, contains 81 acres and can be
had for So, 500. The land south of the
park, where the horse stables now are,
was also considered good site if it
is large enough.
The committee was continued and
will bring the matter to the attention
of the board of trade and ask the lat
ter body to cooperate in an effort to
bring the county fair to Mankato.
The matter of advertising Mankato
in the. surrounding country was talk
ed over. and I. Longini, who brought
the matter up, suggested that space be
taken in newspapers in towns all

IS charged with Forgerx.

The Reverend Mr.. G.. l. Hicks,
Of Hockingport. good preacher,
eloquent exhortor and powerful.
pleader for Others sins, alleged
expert horse thief aud slick evader
of officers of the law, is now
charged with fresh offense.
A detective arrived in the city
Monday night. from Pittsbnrg,
with warrant for the arrest of the
Rev. Mr. q. L Hicks upon the
charge of forgery. The Pittsburg
detective stated to Marshal Dye
that Hicks forged paper for $500
at McKeesport, Pa, and the
authorities of that city were aux-
ious and eager that he should be
dealt with legally.
The detective had visited the
home of the gentleman of the cloth
at Hockingport and had used every
endeavor to locate him, but to no
avail.
The people of that vicinity had
no information to give and could
not tell th9detective in what part of
the coutry the minister was, at the
present time, sojourning 1t will
be remembered that this is the
same man who gave the officers
such merry chase last summer,
hen he was arrested in this city,
charged with horse stealing, and
then allowed his freedom when
the owners of the horses turned
up, and the local officers started on
merry chase after the rider, who
visited his home aud then rode out
like young Lochinvar from the
west.
Since that time Rev. Mr. Hicks
has shown himself but seldom and
always at opportune times in the
little village of Hockingport and
upon the home farm. The people
down in that part of the country,
generally do not believe in Rev.
Mr.. Hicks guilt. and it is with ex.
treme difficulty that the officers are
enabled to extract any information
whatever from them.-Marietta

Strike at Hobson.
Pomeroy Leader.

A strike is on among the en-
ployes of the car shops at Hobson.
Monday a commuter train was put
on between Middleport and Hob.
son by the K. & NJ. people. When
the employees were going up to
Middleport Monday evening on the
oommuter the men refused to pay
a fare of FIVE cents and got off to
wait for the regular K 6 NJ. train
on which they had passes. One
hundred men are now ON strike
because of the disposition on the
part of the railroad company to
charge employees fare of five cents
between Middleport and Hobson.
The men declare they will not go
to work until matters are made
right. The commuter is still run
ming and the men are still striking.
Up to the time of going to press
six commuter tickets had been sold
