SUBSTITUTES FOR COAL.
Kenosha Fares Better than Other Cities in
the State in Facing the Coal Famine.

Kenosha Fares Better than Other Cities in
the State in Facing the Coal Famine.
The people of Kenosha, like those of
every other city in the State, are anx-
iously awaiting the settlement of the
coal strike and if settlement is not
reached in the next few days there
will be great deal of suffering in the
city from scarcity of coal. A visit
to the different yards in the city re-
veals the fact that there is not singh l.
ton of anthracite coal for sale in the
city.
One of the yards had pile of
twenty-five tons, but this was sold
out in small orders al the rate of S14. so
ton. Many of the weather. people
of the city have imported coal from
other cities, but they have paid for it
at rates that would be prohibitive to
the ordinary householder. In the alb
sence of hard coal the people have been
forced to use ''smokeless' and clock
ing Valley" coal. This coal is now
selling in Kenosha at the price usually
asked for the best of anthracite.
kenosha is very fortunate on &C
count of the fact that it is possessed
OF public heating plant. This plant
is now furnishing heat to a hundred
homes in the city at a contract rate,
and the coal strike will make no diff
terence with these contracts. The
company furnishing the heat is pri
vate company and it uses soft coal en-
t1rely IN producing the heat piped to
the different parts of the city, so the
coal famine would not affect the plant
One Of the dealers stated this morn
ing that he thought he would have
plenty of coal by the middle of next
month and that the price would not
exceed eight dollars and a half ton.
The factories Of kenoahd are going a
long way toward assisting the house
holders by selling the waste from the
different mills. This is furnishing a
splendid substitute for hard coal and
it is being eagerly sought after. The
price for this waste has been kept at a
reasonable figure.
In some parts of the county the
farmers have taken small amounts of
peat from the peat boys, but it is said
to be of an inferior quality and scarce
ly worth anything for fuel.

The statement made by the Presi-
tatives of the miners union at the con-
ference called by him to consider the
strike situation urges the settlement
of the strike in the interests of the
general public and is as follows:
81 wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties af-
fected by the situation in the anthra-
cite trade-the operators, the miners,
and the general public. speak for
neither the operators nor the miners,
but for the general public. The ques-
tions at issue which led to the situa-
ton affect Immediately the parties
cencerned-the operators and the min
ers; but the situation itself vitality af-
fects the public.
LAS long as there seemed to be reas-
enable hope that these matters could
be adjusted between the parties it did
not seem proper to me to intervene in
any way. Idisclaim any right or duty
to intervene in this way upon legal
grounds or upon any official relation
that bear to the situations; but the ur-
gency and the terrible nature OF the
catastrophe impending over a large
portion of our people in the shape of a
winter fuel famine impel me, after
much anxious thought, to believe that
my duty requires me to use whatever
influence personally can to bring tc
an end situation which has. become
literally intolerable.
ST wish to emphasize the character
of the situation and to say that its
gravity is such that I am constrained
urgently to insist that each one of yor
realize the heavy burden of responsi
bility upon him. We are upon the
threshold of winter, with an already
existing coal famine, the future terrors
of which we can hardly yet appreciate
tThe evil possibilities are so fal
reaching, SO appalling, that it seems t.
me that you are not only justified il
sinking, but required to sink for tn.

WOMEN URGED TO VOTE.
President of State Federation of Women's
Clubs Sends Out Circulars.

President of State Federation of Women's
Clubs Sends Out Circulars.
More serious consideration of the
question whether women shall vote
for state and county election is to be
expected now that the state federation
of women's clubs has taken it up
Though generally conceded to be a
privilege which should be seized, Ke-
nosha women for the most part have
up TO VOW given the matter little at
tention Mrs. Henry M. Youmans, of
Waukesha, president Of the state fed
Grafton, has, however, just sent out a
circular letter to the presidents of
clubs throughout the state urging that
club women take the matter up. Her
letter sets forth the vital importance
to women of all questions having to do
with the education of their children,
and the need, now that opportunity is
given them for the first time, to show
by large attendance at the polls that
they feel interest and responsibility
enough to take advantage of the open
ing given them.
It is her request that all club women
shall work to bring as many women as
possible to the polls to vote for the
state and county school superinten-
dents, and especially for the amend
ment which separates school interests
from politics. This suffrage matter
promises to be one of the live issues at
the state federation convention at
Ashland Oct. 29-31, and it is safe to
say that goodly mum Der of delegates
will return home pledged to make the
most of their privilege.

In other words estimates of the crop are being increased daily and 1t is claimed now that crop larger than last year is already assured which will be materially increased by late killing frost. In addition to this the continued strained condition of finances in New York Is not encouraging to specula tion However, irrespective of these factors til after the date of killing frost there fore we would suggest buying only on weak periods with view of realizing on spurts.

 IBy Private Wire.l

New York. Oct. 11.--A sharp advance in the Liverpool market this morning came as a surprise to the local trade who had been prepared for weakness abroad. espe- cially since the coal strike had reached mere acute stage and number of New England mills were reported as ex- periencing a famine of fuel necessitating a shut down. Furthermore The Chroni- cle published a special crop report to October first winch showed the crop to be generally equal to last year with possi bilities of exceeding it. all however. de- pending on frost. This report would have commanded more attention, but for the fact that Alabama was placed in the column of States with a fine prospect. Alabama condition quite the reverse of that claimed by all other authorities and private individuals and even so conceded by bear faction. The appearance of storm from the gulf working its way through the Atlantic States and causing more or less rain with Montgomery re- porting 1-2 inches offset the bearish features elsewhere and early prices moved up in keeping with Liverpool, but later receded. At Liverpool the tendency was buying all in sight while local operators were eager buyers of March and May The taking of one firm at Liverpool were estimated at 25.0O0 bales Private dis patches forecasted pleasant weather for Texas

Weekly Cotton Review by R. N
 Scale & Go.

The cotton market for the past week has been very steady and one to furnish few surprises. In the beginning the weather was most favorable for matur- ing the top crop and believers of this idea Were aggressive in their sales. Under this influence the market sold down to S:60 on January cotton in New York only s67-sS
 The great rain storm over the Eastern belt was entirely lost sight of owing to the depression and detrimental influence of the coal strike, which has assumed a position of great importance to the entire country. as 1t is claimed many mills will be compelled to close down owing to the Inadequate supply of coal.
 Again we learn from The New York Chronicle that the crop will equal last year in case of an average date of frost. This we consider more bullish than bearish on account of the fact that last year s actual production of cotton was not ex- ceeding 10.250.000 bales when it Is admit ted by the most noted authorities that unless excessive prices check consump- 9ion. the world will require from Il, ,0o00 O0O to Il, 800 600 bales to meet trade demands. Viewing the situation from strictly an an insufficient yield to meet requirements and again advise our friends to hold on to spot cotton for much higher prices in the end. Do not let the manipulations of a treacherous future market shake your confidence. You may hear theories ad- vanced by very learned people who from in their minds regarding the great possi- bilities of a top crop, good weather, etc. You will also possibly he frightened by the early anticipated estimates of the wise prophets <who annually give to the world the result of their vast investi- Eation. Some come from afar and some are home products, but all of whom have opinions that must in a way govern the market temporarily. Just here would like to advise our customers to buy cot ton on the break which follows MT. Bus ter's estimate in the next few days, for twill only be short-lived.

In case of bad weather, stay long. The coal strike cannot continue through next week, some settlement must be made, as the entire i Aation is vitally interested in such gen. ] eral calamity.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES COTTON UNCHANGED TO A

New York, Oct n.-The cotton market opened firm with prices unchanged to points higher and following the call stiff Tened up to S.S0 for January, and to S.6l for May, on small scare of shorts and moderate pulling by room friends of the staple.
 The chief cause for the better feeling was rise of points in the Liverpool market at the close. After the first wave Of buying in the local ring subsided. the market eased off several points under liquidation of a profit taking order by scalping longs and commission houses. Then a rally on bad weather news, pres ent and prospective, over the South At 1antfc States caused brisk general buying and the whole market again hardened.
 For the balance of the session the bears devoted energies to the defensive rather than follow former aggressive tactics. Receipts were about as expect cd, but the estimates for Mondays ar- rivals fell short of general ideas.
