COASTERS IN A COLLISION
One Boy Comes Dat of the General Mix-Up
with Serious Injuries.
DOZEN OTHERS ESCAPE WITH SHAKING UP
County Commissioners ostrOm, Eye
Witness, Gives Graphic Descrip-
tiOn of Accident, with Observa-
lions on Possibilities.

Harold, the 12-year-old son of Charles L.
Molander, a painter at 2715 Blonde street,
is in bed with two puncture wounds in his
left side and a slight fracture at the point
of the hip bone. The injuries were received
in an accident which spoiled the fun of a
coasting party on the Parker street hill
Tuesday evening.
The Molander boy was steersman for the
dozen children who started from the crown
Of the hill at Twenty-ninth and Parker on
q long bob" to make the trip to the bot
tom. Just as they were approaching the
Twenty-seventh street crossing a delivery
man from a grocery store at Sixteenth and
Corby drove onto Parker street. There
was little light and he did not appear to
notice the coming sled until 1t was very
near. Then, in his surprise, he half
checked his team. which caused Molander
to steer his sled to pass in front of the rig.
At the same instant the driver. recovering
himself, decided the best thing to do was
to whip UP and get out, of the way entirely.
Accordingly he dashed the horses and they
sprang forward, just in time to bring the
wagon directly in front Of the sled as 1t
was then headed.
County Commissioner Henry Ostrom, who
CHANGED to be a witness of the accident,
said:
when that driver whipped his horses !
saw what was bound to happen and
actually / felt the hair stand on my head.
There we're at least a dozen children on
the sled and it was going so fast that 1t
couldn't possibly be stopped nor the chill
dren roll from IL in time unless they all
rolled at once. I felt as certain that some
OF them would be killed as I ever felt Of
anything in my life. and as / supposed ~
the time that a boy Of my W was in the
party I came nearer praying than I have
for some time.
"In less time than 1t takes to tell It the
crash came. The sled struck the rear
wheels OF the wagon, and instantly every
thing and everybody was in the air In q
black tumbling mass l ran 70 the spot
and found the children scattered about in
a circle, some of them several feet from
the place OF the collision. Both rear wheels
Of the wagon had been torn completely on,
the vehicle had been overturned and ths
driver given quite an aerial journey.
EVERY child, of course, was frightened,
but when we began sorting them over We
found none very seriously injured except
young MoIander. He was dazed and bleed
ing, and there we're two holes In his left
side. made apparently by contact viii
something sharp-perhaps the end Of 6

him home. The doctor says the hurt u

Largest shoe House in the world.

The Hamilton Brown shoe company Of
st. Louis, Mo-, has Just passed It's s7,OOO,-
900 mark in sales. Since they opened up,
thirty-one years ago. with capital S23 900
and first years. sales $2t5 900, It has been
their custom 10 set a certain mark and
work up to It. Ten million ts the next
station and the world is invited to watch
them reach It. Their sales IN exact figures
are weekly posted in the windows of their
store and factories and each month every
actual or prospective customer receives a
letter from them, giving a comparative
statement of their sales for the current
month and year to date.
This secret of the marvellous growth of
this house seems to be in the fact that
they have no secrets at all. Their business
is run wide open, the outsider knowing as
much about 1t as the insider, and this
straightforward, open way OF doing has
won for them the confidence and friend
ship Of the trade all over the Unitsd
States.
No panic, business depression or other
calamity has ever retarded their progress
a day. They have gone through such
things invariably with their usual large
gains and such years to them have been
as prosperous as any. Their factories are
always open for inspection and anyone IN
tsrested Is welcome to go through and In
spect for himself the quality of the ma
teriRl and workmanship of which their
shoes are made.
KEEP THE QUALITY UP Is their watch
word, and the president Of the company,
Mr.. A d Brown, is a man Of temperate
habits and simple mode OF living, devoting
his entire time to the company and min
Cling with the employees in all departments
in such a way as to induce them to fol-
low his example.
January l, 1908, the company Increases Its
capital stock from $1,000, 900 to $780, 900
They are about to begin erecting a new
factory near their present one at 21st and
Locust SITS, making two factories at this
point Of equal size. one to be called Amer
lean Lady and the other American Gentle
men, to manufacture their shoes which
go by these names and which have a world
wide reputation. This, together with add
lions they are building to their other fac
tories, will give them a total capacity Of
81, 1000 pairs per day, and their employees
will number 5000.
They are the largest shoe advertisers in
the United States.

COAL SITUATION IS WORSE
Closing flake Navigation Nearly Shuts
Off Shipments to West.
SHORTAGE OF STEAM COAL HERE ALSO
Use of Mine-Run Product by Many
Western Railroads Greatly Re-
duces the supply on the
Local Market.

The local coal situation is apparently
worse now, from the standpoint OF the
dealer In hard coal, than It has been at
any time since the resumption Of work by
the miners in the anthracite fields. The
navigation OF the lakes has been closed by
the cold weather and all anthracite ccal
VIII now have to be brought to Chicago
entirely by rail. II is seldom that any
considerable amount Of coal is sent in this
way 10 the west, the greater part coming
by water from Buffalo to Chicago.
1t was hoped by western dealers that
coal from the mines could be shipped to
Chicago in large quantities before the clos
ing Of lake navigation. and that from that
city some coal would be shipped to the
Missouri river by January 1. This hope
has failed and with u has gone, IN a great
measure, the hope of any coal from the
mines this winter.
Added to the usual diniculty in getting
coal to the west by the ~ali-rail route is
thu condition which exists in the east. At
the present time all of the coal that is
mined h required in tho eastern cities, in
many Of which there is practically a fuel
famine. All of the cars available for
handling coal from the mines are engaged
IN hauling to the east, and local dealers
say that II lie doubtful II any OF these cars
would be DETECTED to the west under any
circumstances
Steam Coal Gets scarce.
There fs considerable complaint OF a
shortage OF steam coal. The greater part
Of the steam coal used In Omaha comes
from Missouri and eastern Kansas. Until
lust year the railroads in that territory
insisted upon being supplied with
screened lump coal and there was conse~
quently a great amount of steam coal on
the market This stock increased faster
than II could be used and a shortage of
steam coal was considered beyond the pos
sibiiit1eS About a year ago the Frisco
railroad started TO experiment with coal
as IL came from the mineS unscreened.
Al the reduced price made by the miners
It was found that the mine run coal was
cheaper than the screened and other roads
began TO use IT. With the difficulty in secur-
Ing fuel which all roads have experienced in
the last six months, other roads have
used mine run coal, so that practically the
fun output Of the mines could have been
sold as mine run. The result is that the
output of steam coal has decreased to such
. degree that 1t is now scarce and the out
put II limited almost exclusively to the
product which is screened for domestic
use.
The local stock OF soft coal for domestic
use Is as large as the dealers desire and
there IL said to be little danger Of a short
age in this line this winter,

The Nose Indicate. Character.

A large nose is always an unfailing
sign of a decided character. 1t be-
longs to the man Of action. quick to
see and to seize opportunity. A small
nose indicates a passive nature, one
less apt to act, although he may feel
as deeply. He will have many theo-
ries, while the possessor of a large
nose will have deeds to show. Persons
with small noses are most loving and
sympathizing. but their friendship is
not the active kind.
A nose with the tip slightly tilted is
the sign of the heartless fiirt. A long
nose shows dignity and repose, a
short nose pugnacity and love Of
gayety. An arched nose-one project
ing at the h-idge-shows thought. A
straight nose shows an inclination to-
ward serious subjects. A nose turning
up slightly indicates eloquence. wit
and Imagination. If turned up much
1t shows egotism and love of luxury.
A nose that slopes out directly from
the forehead. that shows no indenting
between the eyes. indicates power. If
the nose is indented deeply at the root
the subject will be weak and vacillat-
Ing. nose that turns down signifies
that the possessor is misery and sar-
