DEALERS CANNOT
GET ANY COAL
Reading Railroad Fails to
Supply the Demand Of Will
mington Merchants
MAY HAVE TO ADVANCE PRICE
No Orders Have Been Received by
Local Dealers for Two Oays--They
Cannot Get Coal Themselves to
Supply Customers

Many people In Wilmington are wor-
ried about the coal supply, but they
are not nearly so much disturbed as the
dealers. They have not received orders
for two days now, and when they have
delivered what they already have on
hand, It Is probable that several days
win elapse before they have any more.
IL is rule with the Reading railroad
that all dealers ordering coal must ac-
company their orders with check COW
ering the amount of coal they order.
Two dealers did this ON Monday but
the checks were returned. together with
the orders, the company saying il would
be impossible to tell when they could
ship the coal. as they were already so
overcrowded with orders that It would
be sometime before they could ship
the fueL
This puts a new phase on the coal
situation in this city, as the dealers
have been able to get the coal. and tha
only trouble was their inability to de-
liver IL as fast as the orders came in.
IL is the first time since the strike was
arhitrated that the dealers felt any ap-
prehension about the supply at the
mines being shut Off entirely. although
they knew it world be limited.
Will Price be Raised
II is now question whether the
Reading Railroad Company can hold
the dealers to the agreement of selling
coal at 81 a ton. as they are unable
TO supply them, and as a consequence
they will have to get their supply from
Iother sources. This will cost them
more. and 81 seems improbable that
. the price can remain the same. as the
/, coal will cost the dealers more. and 1t
is perfectly natural they will have to
lcharge more Tor il.
Y One Of the reasons advanced for the
scarcity of coal at the mines is the
fact that all that can be gotten away is
being sent TO the New England States,
where the cold is so severe.
Soft Coal Higher
The price of soft coal Is now 81 a
ton. and is as scarce as the hard. It Is
{ only being sold for steaming purposes,
? that is Tor to furnish pOwdr to run
machinery in the mills and factories.

Messrs. Carl Paulson and Peter Slet-
ten; also the Kensal Lumber Com

wish them we'll in their chosen field.
An account of ball game between
Kensal and Courtenay is given in the

Buried in Same Grave,

closely following the death OF her
daughter, Sadie, comes the sad an.
nouncement of the death of Mrs. Jane
Ferraby, OF Grove Lake, Pope coun.
ty. The demise occurred at the home
OF her sister, Mrs. Frank Connolly, in
Sauk Centre, on Sunday evening, the
10th inst. Death resulted from a long
siege of typhoid fever, which the de-
ceased had contracted in St. Cloud
while attending her daughter. She
was SO years of age the Goth of May.
Surviving her is her aged mother,
who has reached her 74th year, and
who has made her home with the de-
ceased. She also leaves a sister,
Mrs. McLease, at Bolder, MINI, and
another residing in the town of Green
Lake, Mrs. John II. Martin. The fu-
neral of the daughter was to have oc-
Cured on the following Monday, but
was postponed until the next day,
when both were given interment at the
old home at Grove Lake. The re-
mains of the mother and daughter
were buried in the same grave in the
presence of a large number of mourn
ing relatives and friends. This sad
ending of two lives who had became
so endeared to each other calls for the
most profound sympathy from every
body.

BURcLARIZED REvEREnD's HOME
Lake to Face Z Serious
Charra

An arrest was made near Elbow
Lake last week by Deputy Sheriff j.
L. Hanscom for a theft which was
committed at the home Of Rev. T. O.
Tolo, at Burbank, on Sunday, April
IL. The party accused of appropri-
ating to his own use articles not his
own is Carl Hanson, a former resi-
dent of that town. The prisoner was
brought to Willmar Friday morning
and arraigned before Judge Roise the
same day, on the charge of grand lar.
ceny in the second degree, preferred
by Rev. Tolo. Among other articles
which it is alleged was stolen was a
gold watch and chain and some money,
which were discovered missing when
the family returned from church
The preliminary hearing resulted in
the case being continued until Tues.
day, and in default of $500 bail Han.
son was committed to the county jail.

Big Deleratjon to Duluth.

An immense crowd took in the Du-
luth excursion last Saturday. When
the Benson and Litchfeld sections ar.
rived here the trains were pretty well
filed, and there were not enough ex.
ira coaches at this point to properly
accommodate the crowd from Will
mar. More tickets were sold than
had been anticipated, the majority be-
ing to parties from the surrounding
country. 1t is safe to say that an ex.
ira section could easily have been put
on to accommodate the crowd between
here and St. Cloud, for there was a
perfect jam and great many were
doomed to disappointment on account
of lack of accommodations.
Duluth had within her borders one
of the largest crowds the city ever en-
tertained, there being excursions at
the same time from other points, and
the hotels and restaurants did land.
Office business. These popular excur.
sions are big thing for the city as
we'll as the railways which carry the
crowds, and another one this season
is not an improbability. Some over
three hundred tickets were sold in
Willmar alone. The crowd returned
to Willmar Sunday morning between
the hours of three and four.
An unpleasant incident occurred on
the return trip, when couple of fell
lows from the country who had
"bowled up'' too much made them
selves perfect nuisance by their ac'
tions and became so hilarious tha
it was necess ary to arrest them. They
were taken off at Sandstone to res
up until found more peaceable.
