Despite the TACT that the settlement Of the
coal strike IS now accomplished. there are
good reasons for the belief that the price of
coal will not descend 20 the normal level for
months.
During the winter season tho consumption
Of coal exceeds the Production, and It il only
by the work during the summer mouths
when the consumption Is comparatively
small. that the operators are enabled to
supply the demand and secure surplus
stocks. The strike extended over n period
Of about FIVE months. during which time the
amount OF coal taken from the mines was
practically none Mt all, During the last
month of the strike the consumption was
probably nearly as large as the production
would have been under ordinary circum.
stances. great many substitutes for an.
thracite were used. IL is true. but their use
was largely in the nature of experiments. in
most cases, and every available ton OF an
thracite was Immediately bought aud con,
sumed.
This naturally brought the stocks OF coal
in the hands OF dealers down to q minimum
figure. and in view of this fact and the
others related here it seems unlikely that
anthracite may be had for the usual price at
any time during the present winter There
appears to be some warrant, too. for the be.

Five years ago, two years ago, such PROPOSE

by violent denunciation. II would have been
termed vicious attack upon vested interests, a

he felt that he had accomplished his
work as pastor of this church, and felt
that it was his duty to resign. Rev.
HASTE was ordained five years ago at
the church in which he yesterday ten
dered his resignation, and it was his
first charge. He has been a hard and
conscientious laborer for the cause
during the passionate of the church,
and he has always been a true Chris
t1an. He has gained many friends by
his careful and earnest manner, and
they all unite in expressing sorrow
that he should see fit to sever his con-

divided in two parts, fraternity and
life insurance. He took for his first,
Fraternity, Am | Thy Brothers Keep
er, Where is Thy Brother?" He read
for his scripture lesson Luke 10. Mr..
HASTE said it was all right to have in
surance for the present time, but it
takes different insurance in eternity.
He spoke of the lodges and different
organizations, that if we did not have
so we could get life insurance who is
going to help the widows and the or
phans? Are the churches going
around and see that they are kept up?
Mr.. HASTE said that there were more
people spending the same amount of
money and even more for tobacco and
foolishly. than it took to keep up life
insurance. Rev. Hastie spoke at some
length and his listeners returned to
their home with the thought that they
had been greatly benefited.

MEETING OF ROOSEVELT CLUB
j. p. Breen Delivers Principal Adj
dress and Pleads for Higher
ideals.

At the meeting of the Roosevelt club at
Idlewild hall last night constitution. and
bylaws were adopted. The rules provide
for the election Of en- executive commit
tee, one from each precinct, and the cleo
tion of these ofhcers was fixed for next
Saturday.
The following manifesto was the
adopted. ordered spread upon the minutes
and published:
Believing that the present administration
OF our government is in the best interests
OF the American people; that our soldiers
are TO be commended for their patriotism
and bravery in unfolding the American
flag. and that the principles of the repub-
hcan party are right, we have organized
the FIRST Roosevelt republican club I'm the
state OF Nebraska for the following pur-
pose:
To give the president OF the United States
our support in his present wise, courageous
and patriotic administration Of our govern
ment.
TO use our best efforts TO further the
interests OF President Roosevelt, and by so
doing the best interests OF the American
people.
we invite every citizen. regardless OF
party, 20 unite with us In supporting
Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency In
1904
After the transaction Of club business J..
p. Breen was introduced Mr.. Breen
opened by congTatulating the club upon
the selection Of its name and object. He
then told of the life OF the president. Of
his painstaking efforts to fulfill the du-
ties Of the ofhees which he has held as
police commissioner Of New York. as an
assistant cabinet officer. as officer in the
army. as governor OF the state and presi-
dent Of the United States.
The speaker then referred 70 local mat

If being a mixer means to clasp the hand
of every man 1 meet just before election,

mixer. II l know a man / know him all
the time. But / am nobody's tool. No

cency to refrain from characterizing as a

coed him.
did It ever occur to you that in this
state we have too low an ideal Of the fit
ness Of public men? Look at Iowa. Its
senators and representatives are close to
every president. Allison stands at the
head of fnanciers. Young Dolliver has
taken his place high among statesmen.
Iowa's influence in Washington is due to
the fact that men are selected because of
fitness. We should raise our ideals, not
only Of the mental fitness OF men in pub
lie life, but also of their moral integrity.
Nebraska stands at the head Of the states
for general diffusion of education. and I
do not understand now We have dropped
down in our ideals"

UNCERTAIN AS TO IDENTITY
Police Cannot Make Up Their Minds
as to whether Mrs. Gibson is
Emma Goldman.

The Omaha police are still endeavorine
to settle the question whether or not Emma
Goldman, the ~archangel Of anarchy, is DOM
iciled In this city. Chief Donahue believes
now that she is not. although the woman
giving her name as Mrs. Mary Gibson, who
was thought to be Emma Goldman. is still
under police surveillance.
Early yesterday morning Detectives Dunn
and Savage went to the Martis block, where
Mrs. Gibson" occupies a suite Of rooms,
and made an investigation OF the rooms and
their contents, incidentally submitting Mrs.
Gibson" to a slight eross-examination, de-
signed to bring out her identity. II was
tentatively decided she was not Emma
Goldman.
Later in the day the woman called at
Chief D~onahue's ONCE and the chief held a
long consultation with her. He said after
the talk:
