DEMAND is EASED
Coal Dealers Report Hopeful Out
look for Remainder of
the Winter.
EFFECT OF THE MILD WEATHER
Some Anthracite Expected to Arrive
Before the End of the
Season.

Coal dealers agree that the situa-
ton, locally as well as generally, is
more hopeful than it has been at any
previous time this winter. The alb
sence of protracted cold spells, and
particularly the warm couple of
weeks just past, have enabled the inn
mediate wants of the people to be
supplied. and at the same time many
of the private consumers have laid in
supplies sufficient to carry them
through the remainder of the winter
At the same time the wants of the
larger consumers have been looked
after.
1t is believed now that. unless there
is an unusually severe finish, the win
ter will pass without any general suf-
fering here. In fact, real hardship
has not been so imminent at any time
as the demands made upon the deal
ers seemed to indicate, the people be-
ing actuated largely by the fear of
want rather than by want itself
the city is being largely supplied
by wagon from the mines in the
southeast part of the county. The
Mercer county mines are yielding
about the same amount for local con-
sumption as they have been doing all
winter, the Rock Island and Burling-
ton roads still taking largely for use
in locomotives.
Small Dealers Suffering
The season is a disastrous one for
the small dealers, the trade having for
the most part gone to the large hand
lers. Credit * due to the Wholesalers
for the resistance they have offered
to the movement to advance prices to
the extent that has been done in 9TH
er places.
The Mercer county mines are ham
pered. as others are. by the scarcity
of cars. The Sherrard mines are not
working today ON account of the lack
of cars to carry the product away.
Hard coal dealers claim to see en-
enlargement for the belief that there
will be a little hard coal on the mar
llet here before the winter is ended.
The situation in the east seems to
warrant the belief that there will he
hard coal coming this way as soon as
cars can be gotten to carry il.

Troubles Saturday Afternoon.
Judge Burnham Saturday afternoon
granted two divorces, giving DEGREES to
the plaintiffs in the cases of Orpha O..
Hosclsw vs.. Henry c. Holsclaw and
Corintha Bivens KS. John v. Bivens.
The decree in the first case was
granted on the grounds of cruel AMI
inhum;n treatment. Some of the tes-
timony was sensational in nature, and
tended to show that the defendant,
Holsc:iw. was believer in the prin-
ciples of free love. and because of that
had caused his wife much mental an
guish and suffering.
In the Bivens case the charge was
adultery. Bivens was arrested In this
city az the home of Mrs. Mollie Nc
Intosh who was also placed under ar
rest The two hearings in Justice
court. on the criminal charge, We're de-
ferred until after the action OF the
grand jury. but 1t is understood that
the wife is not asking the grand jury
to return an Indictment complicating

question solely matter of credit, as
the pla ntiff has property and the de-

The defense made the motion for an
application for temporary alimony on

ed similar motion. asking alirnony
of the defendant on the theory OF a
counter irritant.
Kendall c. Roberts. the defendant in
the case, was formerly at the head OF
the Christian Scientist church. of this
city, and is now Ole of its leading
members. The plaintiff will attempt to
show III her case that the neglect of
his family is due to the defendants
work III the church. She claims that
he sends sums of money to Mrs. Eddy
for the mother church in Boston, and
to Mrs. Webster, in Chicago, a leading
Christian Science worker, we'll known
here. The defendant denies by affi-
davit that he has given more toward
the support of the mother church than
was expected of him. and that he
could afford. but admits sending Mrs.
Webster money for instruction in
Christian Science. and the gift of 500
out of $3.50 he borrowed toward the
building fund of the new Christian
Science church in this city.
