THE TRUST BEING HURT.
Twice ~ Much Coal Being Imported
Under Free Coal ~ In Any
Previous Year,

says.
"He said that the plan he had in
augurated when he became president of
the Reading of making q reduction Of
so cents a ton in April. and then ad-
vancing the price ten cents a month
until the figure again reached normal
by September had worked very salts
factorily."
Yes. Mr. Divine-rights Baer, it does
seem to have worked beautifully-for
the coal trust. 1t is, however, little
hard on a few millions Of us coal con-
sumers who now have to pay higher
prices for coal than ever before, except
during and after the strike OF last year
The retail price of anthracite at Wash
ington is now $7.25 and at Chicago $3.50
a ton.
Immediately following the Baer in
patch from Pennsylvania saying:
1.-The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company has issued a sweep
Ing order closing every one Of its wash
cries that produce small sizes. and other
corporations and individual operators
have followed suit. 1t is estimated that
there are 2,OOO, 900 tons OF small sizes
now in stock, for which there 10 little
demand"
The inadequate demand for anthra-
cite coal is said to be partly due to
closed mills and to the increased use Of
soft coal for steam purposes. But the
statistics of foreign commerce for the
year ending June 30, 1903, offer some
additional explanation as to this over
supply of hard coal. They show that we
imported. last year, 3.S18,1S9 tons of
coal. or nearly 1000, 900 tons more than
were imported in any previous year,
and that of this amount 2O7 .664 tons
were anthracite. This is more than 100
ported in any year since the Dingley bill
taxing anthracite became law.
1t appears, then, that free coal, while
it has not compelled the hard coal trust
to lower its prices for ordinary sizes of
coal (and this Is not strange when it is
considered that there is nowhere else
anthracite like ours-that is Baer's-to
take its place., especially at interior
points, has compelled it to reduce prices
of it's smaller sizes used for making
steam and which, therefore, compete
with bituminous coal. Nearly all of
this imported coal 10 consumed in New
England and on the Pacific coast. It
does q great deal to free manufacturers
in these sections from the exactions OF
the hard and soft coal trusts now
charging us two or three times a fair
price for this bounty of nature. Pos
sibly some mistake was made when the
Almighty consigned this most valuable
heritage to Mr.. Baer to parcel out to the
rest of US earth dwellers at SO much per
ton.
It will be observed that the excess of
imports over former years (2,00O, 900
tons) just about measures the surplus
stock Of steam coal for which no mar
ket can be found. although prices have
been reduced from IL to 30 cents ton
for these Sizes How Mr.. Baer must hate
free coal! But he IL lying low and say
ing nothing. for he knows that his re-
publican friends In congress put cosl
on the free list only for one year and
that bituminous coal will be dutiable
again next January. He will not agi-.
tate this coal tariff again. But win the
manufacturers and the people keep
quiet? s .

Worse than alarm of fire at night is

and quickly cures the worst forms OF
Group. Mr.. p. l.. Cordier, Of Manning
ton, KY, says: my three year old

Tendency Of the Timsn.

The tendency Of medical science fs
toward preventive measures. The
best thought Of the world is being
given to the subject. II Is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
Deen fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one Of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by these
Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from a cold
or from an attack OF influenza (grip)
and It has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency Of
these diseases toward pneumonia.
This has been fully proven in many
thousands Of cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger Is apprehended until 1t is sud-
denly discovered that there is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains in
the chest, then 1t Is pronounced that
the patient has pneumonia. Be on the
safe side and take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is
contracted. 1t always cures. For
sale by all druggists.

Congressman Lacey concerning some
matters in connection with the herd
Of buffalo, In which Major Lacey 10
very much interested
"The superintendent, In coHversa-
tion with your correspondent, paid q
very high tribute to Major Lacey as
q statesman and as a man. He re-
marked that every sportsman in the
west was the staunch friend OF the
Iowa congressman and considered
him their best legislative friend.
Speaking of the working ofthe game
law enacted atthe last session, known
as the Lacey act, the superintendent
said that even in so brief time the
effect Of the law was clearly manifest.
The lswI prohibits the shooting of
game in the park, aHd the result Of
only one years. relief from irresponsi-
bic hunters has been that game has
increased remarkably, and the herd
of buffalo is increasing rapidly. Un
der the present law it is said the buff
falo may once more become quite
numerous"

Walker V. Powell, right-of-way
agent for the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn, was here Thursday, after a trip
up the White River branch, and talks
interestingly of the progress of rail-
road building in that rough section
above Cotter, which has been as
snred the division on the new road.
Two-thirds of the track between
Newport and Cotter is now rock
ballasted and the work is proceeding
at the rapid rate ofone mile per day,
which assures its early completion.
The bridging of White Rivf at
Cotter has been a difficult piece of
work, but trains will be crossing
soon. There are thirteen concrete
piers of an average height of forty
feet supporting the draw bridge and
once across the river, the track darts
into a tunnel 1900 feet in length,
which is expected to be ready for
trains by February /.
This will open up another stretch
of 45 miles of track, the grading hav-
ing already been finished as far as
the Omaha tunnel.
Mr.. Powell is of the opinion that
in another year trains will be run
ming through to Carthage, Mo-,
over the White River line and on to
