Neither OF theE Local Dealers Has a
POundofI Anthracite Coal to Sell
and None is In Sight.
DEALERS REFUSE TO GIVE PRICES
Dealers State That 1t is Impossible to Get
the Coal and They Are Making No
Contracts For the Winter.

Okenosha is threatened with ncoal
famine. There is not a pound of an
thracite coal inseither of the coal yards
of the city and what is worse the deal
ers state that they have no assurances
that they will have any Of the coal in
the next two or three months. The
big bins in which the anthracite coal
is usually piled high at this time of the
year are empty and not single boat
load of hard coal has reached here dur
ing the summer. The famine in soft
coal is not SO bad as several loads of
this coal have come in the last few
weeks and more can be obtained. The
miners strike in Pennsylvania has put
stop to the shipment of hard coal
and it is possible that not single
cargo of hard coal will reach the lakes
for the fall delivery.
The man who always puts in his coal
early in the season has been to both
the yards in the city, but the coal men
refuse to quote prices for the delivery
of the coal and state that they can set
no date at,which they will have coal.
AS to price this is another enigma.
Some of the coal men have volunteered
the cheering information that the coal
may soar to ten dollars a ton while
others are more comforting and state
that if the strike is settled the price
will not range above the prices de-
n1anded at the close of the last season.
The fact that it will be impossible
to move the coal by lake transporta-
ton seems to be the main reason for
expecting an increase in price, but
should the railways offer the coal deal
ers anything like reasonable rate for
the shipment of the "black diamonds. =
there would be little trouble in filing
all demands as soon as the strike is
settled or called off.
This is the first time in many years
that there has been hard coal famine
in Kenosha and the people seem to be
taking little interest in the matter, all
seeming to think that the strike and
the conditions produced by it will be
righted before the coming of the cold
weather.

AFTER MANY YEARS.

Mrs Josephine Winslow Asks Divorce
From Her Husband, Stephen Winslow.
Suit for divorce has been filed in the
Circuit court in which the plaintiff is
Mrs. Josephine Winslow, of this city,
and the defendent Stephen Wins1ow,
of Howard City, Mich. The couple
have been married nearly thirty years
and both are advanced in years. In
her complaint Mrs. Winslow alleges
failure to support. Fn the answer to
the complaint the husband claims de-
sertion. He states that his wife left
his home several years ago and came
| to Kenosha to keep boarding house.
He claims that since that time she had
asked to have the children sent to her
and that he fixed" them up as best he
could and sent them over. He alleges
that he is willing to support the woman
in Michigan but that he is unable to
support her in Kenosha. The defend
ant files schedule of property which
is quite unique. He states that he is
possessed of real estate valued at $50
and personal property as follows: His
wearing apparel, which is very scant;
a cook stove and some carpenters
tools. The case will come up for trial
at the September term of the court.

sWIMs POWERS LAKE.
Miss Hattie Puelicher Performs Feat
Hitherto Untried by Amy Woman.

Miss Hattie Puelicher Performs Feat
Hitherto Untried by Any Woman.
Miss Hattie Puelicher, of this city,
is the athletic ideal of the summer re.
sorters at Powers lake just at present
for Wednesday afternoon she swan
across the lake, feat that has never
been attempted by another woman.
Miss Puelicher is probably the most ex-
pert swimmer in Wisconsin and her
feat in swimming the lake will be a
mark which the female swimmers of
the State will probably not equal in
years.
The lake is about a mile and a
quarter in length and when Miss
Puelicher proposed to George Brown,
of Chicago, to swim the lake the
friends of the young lady smiled at
her. Mr.. Brown and Miss Puelicher
soon arranged the matter and both
dashed into the water. With full over
hand stroke Miss Puelicher continued
to swim until she landed safely on the
other side. She was not in any way
exhausted by the long swim and the
people who witnessed the feat state
that the young lady could have easily
swan another half mile.
Miss Puelicher is the first lady that
ever attempted to swim the lake and it
is probable that it will be many years
before the feat will be attempted
again

Electric Railway Company Seeks the
Services of the Electric Com
pany For Power.
POWER PLANT IS CONTEMPLATED
If Deal Retween the Two Companies is
Made Power Plant Will Be Installed
and Kenosha VIII Have Power.

B. J. Arnold, of the Kenosha Elec
trio Railway company, has re opened
negotiations with the Kenosha Gas &
Electric company to secure power for.
the operations of the Kenosha street
railway. The company will need SIM
ply power enough to run the cars in
the city and it is thought that it will
be more profitable for the company to
secure the power from the Gas COM
pany rather than to build a power
house of their own. It was first in
tended to bring the power from Wau-
negan by means of a NUM- Ger of power
stations but this plan was found to be
fraught with many difficulties and as
the Kenosha company was willing to
furnish the power at a very reasonable
rate it is probable that their offer will
be accepted.
Mr.. Arnold has stated that the work
of setting up the new Main street
bridge will be started within a few
days and it is possible that the line
will be ready for the power by the
1AAAA0AN "a uCAl NOIOOC1s i TIC Cd1 y WILL
not be started until the paving work
has been completed and the tracks
have been brought up to the grade in
all parts Of the city.
Should the offer Of the Kenosha Gas
& Electric company be accepted by the
Railway company first class electric
power plant will be Installed in Keno
sfla. This plant has been greatly
needed IN Kenosha for many years
and the managers of the Gas company
have agreed to put in the plant if six
customers can be secured to use the
power. In other cities many of the
smaller factories are run by electric
power and there are several plants in
Kenosha which would use the power if
it could be secured at anything like
reasonable rate.
This change would also insure the
merchants and others in the city cleo
trio lighting service during the day
and this is badly needed in the city.

SILVER LAKE.

Judge Howard is out of politics and in
the country. He says he doesn't know
where his party has gone.
| IfDr. Hubbard had killed the deer he
followed SO long and one more, the state
attorney could have had job. Strange
how easy some can evade the law.
Ed Croweu trailed deer to the Stock
bridge line, came upon big red fox ana
sent a bullet through his head, satlsned
with this game. II was a mate ana only
one pound lighter than DIR. Hubbard ;
champion. Two larger or handsomer AMI
mails are not often seen.
A. w. Thompson, who lives in the edge
of Pomfret, was in town recently. looking
over the buildings on his Maj. hichmono
farm. He thinks of putting an entire set
of modern windows in the mansion;
Those now in use are not as well preserved
as Mr.. Thompson himself and viii feel the
coming zero weather.
The big buck, weighing 326 pounds,
killed by Sam Cady, was shot within 81
rods Of +. j. Wheat's house and had been
frequently seen with two others by MI.
Wheat's family all summer, and, as they
saw, never did one cents worth OF damage:
Morris A. Lilley probably killed one OF
this trio with revolver, which l have yet
to learn has been beaten by any deer
hunter. Morris Was not educated by the
James Bros, but for cool, steady nerves he
goes to the head.
l.. c. Thayer of Boston made call at

drive over the road TO Vermont with
brown mare who holds almost an unbeat-
en- record OF three-year- olds, pacing
quarter IN 30 seconds, and the same daY,
without any change OF shoes or boots,
trotting quarter in 81. Such dou lie
gait is OF great value and is seldom found;
She was purchased for his farm TO be used
as a brood mare. We congratulate Mr..
Thayer on his success in obtaining this
animal
Thanks to our legislature in killing the
bill to extend the time Of open deer season.
After all these years OF protection and
nursing, to throw open the doors, giving
hunters the chance to exterminate what
has now become one Of the chief attrac-
tions of our state would be sheer folly.
Barnard, an average town in Vermont in
all kinds Of products, but in deer more
than an average, wintering more, perhaps, /
than any other town in Windsor county,
and standing nearly or quite at the head /
OF numbers killed, would hate to lose the /
excitement OF a deer hunt now SO thor 4
oughly enjoyed the last days in October /
] have yet to learn Of one dollars damage /
done in this town by these beautiful ami /
mails, but they do furnish quite an income
to the successful hunter, besides almost un- I
bounded sport that is looked forward to /
through the whole season. Old Home !
week was no comparison to numbers and /
interest shown BY former residents in |
coming to Barnard for a weeks ramble /
over the hills and scenes OF younger days. /
