MINING COMPANY rs TO
QUIT RETAIL BUSINESS

Saturday of next week the Coal
Valley Mining company will discon-
tinue retailing coal. For great
many years this has been chief sup
ply for the local market. and the an
nouncement will be received with
considerable surprise. The abandon
ment of the retail department is un-
derstood to be the result of pressure
brought to bear by shippers upon the
management of the Rock Island road,
which controls the Coal Valley Mining
company properties, as many of the
local coal dealers are large shippers
over the Rock Island. However, the
Coal Valley company will continue to
sell it's product here at wholesale. and
it will be handled by the several loca!
dealers.
In Davenport the price of coal was
yesterday advanced a cent bushel.
or from 1915, delivered. to 81. There
is some talk of an advance on this
side of the river, and the withdrawal
of the Coal Valley Mining company
from the retail trade renders it the
more probable that such move will
be made.

A Surprising Fact.

y good many men think if they
have $1,000 life insurance that they
are insured 50 that their families are
protected. They do not stop to think
that if they are bringing in say 1000
year, that to leave them in as good
shape as his income provides, he
would need to have property worth
at least $4,000 to make as much. You
cannot afford to have your family's
comfort and happiness stand on the
contingency of your early death.
They and you had better economic
little more closely in order to in
sure this present income, or, in other
words, insure this human piece of
property is you-that brings
in this 81 900 year. If your income
was produced from real estate You
would not wait minute TO insure it
for something near its value. You
make them take greater chances than
you do yourself. The Bankers Life
of New York provides a way for YOU
to protect them, while at the same
time you save every dollar for your
self if you live. Aou dnSnot have to
die to win. You take no chances It's
worth looking into Don't wait until
it's too late. +. E Lamphere, district
manager, Mitchell & Lynde building.

Mrs. Clara johnson, Aged Rural
Woman, Commits Sui
eide.
ONLY GRAND CHILDREN HOME
Piqued Because She Was Not AL
lowed to Change Her
Abode.

Tired of life and piqued because
she was not allowed to leave the home
of her son to live with a daughter,
Mrs. Clara Johnson, aged So and
resident of the vicinity of Swedona
for a quarter of n century, suicided
by jumping into a cistern at the home
of Edward johnson, her son, one mile
north of the county line, in Rural
township, yesterday morning.
Word of the tragedy reached Cor
oner Eckhart late yesterday after
noon, and he left at night. holding an
inquest over the remains in the even
ing. The verdict was one of suicide.
Yesterday morning the adult mem
bers of the family, including Mr..
johnson. his wife and daughter and
the hired man, went to the field to
pick corn. The only occupants of the
house were three small children and
Mrs. Johnson, the grandmother. The
latter was left in bed. but during the
morning she arose, prepared and ate
breakfast. Soon afterward she was
seen by one of the children to 60 into
a room adjoining the kitchen where
the sink was located. Under the sink
the cistern is nearly full of water,
which is reached by means of trap
door. The child saw the grandmother
lift the trap door. and she then turn
ed, and saying goodbye" plunged in.
The children ran TO the field and
summoned the men as quickly as pos
sible and within quarter of an hour
the body was drawn out. All efforts
at resuscitation failed, and physi-
clan who was called pronounced life
extinct.
Had Lived with Daughter.
Mrs johnson had been living with
her son for the past five months.
Prior to that period she had spent
part of the time with her daughter,
Mrs. Gus Lundquist. in the same
neighborhood. Lately she had desired
to return to the daughter. but the
children objected to the change. She
had never been heard to threaten self
destruction. She was a native of Swe-
den and had been in this country &c
years, the greater part of which was
spent at Swedona. She always enjoy
ed good health.

facts was composed of John Long.

August Leueth, the youth charged
with the abduction of Mrs. John Tells
row, is on trial in the district court
at Upton, Iowa. Mr.. Telsrow has
told his story of the kidnapping, which
is we'll remembered. The defense
contends that the boy could not have
been at the supposed scene of the
ransom at the appointed hour, claims
that it can establish complete abb,
and declares that it is preposterous
to think that he would attempt or
could conceive of crime of such dar-
ing. The Telsrows claim to partially
identify Leuth. but the defense de-
clares this IS not sufficient.
