GENERAL NEWS.
An Artist Through Fire.

1t was the Chicago fire that mace
Timothy Cole wood engraver-today
at the head of living wood engrayers.
In his younger days the lads devotion
was divided between his violin and his
graver's tools; and the elder Cole, an
Englishman OF more than ordidary INTEL
igence and culture, left his son to work
out his own salvation. The Chicago fire,
with its other havoc, made ashes OF the
gifted youths precious violin; and the
weight of these ashes turned the scale in
favor of wood engraving.
The Coal Situation.
Not since the great fuel famine began,
have the crowds been so great or the
appeals so urgent in Boston as they were
on Saturday. Of all the would-be pur
chasers, only the regular customers were
allowed to file their orders, and not one
of them could procure any coal during
the day. The head Of large coal con-
Germ said when interviewed:
CONDITIONS are really worse today
than they have vet been. We are receiv-
ing only a comparatively small quantity
OF coal day here, and the demand tor
it is increasing constantly, so that each
day really finds worse off than before.
There is plenty of coal being mined. In
fact, something like 100000 tons a
month is being sent to the surface, which
is considerably above the normal pro-
duction. This output is being distributed
over such a wide area, however, that
each particular section of the country
necessarily receives very little of it. New
Eugland's proportion OF the anthracite
output is only about 13 per cent, ard
this, you must remember, is generally all
received and stored here bttore the real
cod weather arrives at all. The situa-
ton this winters unprecedented in every
way, and do not see how it is going to
mend Tor many weeks. We are getting
only little coal by water, and large
shipments by rail, even at the cost OF
higher prices, is out of the question at
present. The coal roads themselves are
naturally shipping over the routes to
tiGewater on which they can utilize the
largest number of cars per month, and
this is one thing that is operating
against New England"
Some of the smaller dealers in Boston
and a number Of the out of town places
have increased the price OF anthracite tC
$12 ton; the larger firms adhere to SO
They know they could just as easily ge
$25 ton, but feel something is due thu
customers, and hesitate to increase it tt
even $40.
In Portland, Maine, the sales are beinl
reduced to a quarter OF ton at time
The price varies from So to $40 TOT
for soft and Welch coal and there is
very little wood at SIP cord, and prac
tically no hard coal at all.

THE JURY SECURED.
In the Cofelt Case 15e Men We're
First Questioned.

Winfield, Kan, June 20-A jury In the
o'clock Thursday afternoon after ex-
hausting the regular and special panels
of 159 jurors. The jury Is composed of
nine COwley county farmers and three
Arkansas City men and for the most
part is evenly divided as to young, mid
die aged and old men.
Following the swearing In of the jury
County Attorney Torrance made his
opening statement. which in substance
was the same as given in the first trial
in April with the additional declara-
ton that he would introduce witnesses
who would testify that g. man answering
Coffelt's description was seen in ATkan-
sas City between II and 1 o'clock the
night Of the murder of Montgomery, who
bought a half-pint of Whiskey, got into
a freight car, rode to Bliss and went
out to the Miller ranch, arriving be-
tween 3 and 4 O'Clock Then he went to
Joe Miller's house and raped at the
door. The cook answered and the man
said he wanted to see Joe Miller quick
The cook answered that Joe was asleep
and who should she tell him wanted to
see him? He said Colorado" (Coffelt)
Miller went down and Coffelt said: we
have fixed that fellow" Joe Miller said:
All right" and told him to go over and
tell the old man. Coffelt then went over
to George N9iller's house
After hanging fire for nearly two
weeks on motions and petitions by the
defense and the securing Of a jury the
Coffelt case seems to be now fairly
launched.
