Brieadler- General kobbe Makes An
nuaI Report to War Department.

Washington, September 15.-The annual
Kobbe. commanding the department of
Dakota, was made public today. He says
that with troops returning from insular
service and the relatively large number
of young and more or less inexperienced
officers, progressive instruction through
out the year seemed of the first import
ance. Unusual interest was taken in the
course of physical training.
The report says that officers have been
infinitely encouraged in providing and
pursuing courses of instruction by consid-
ering that with the organization of genA
eral staff, these will not as has frequently
been apprehended. fall into dsuse. but
what is good in each territorial depart

In St. Louis several buildings were

SOFT COAL GOING Up
An Advance of Twenty-Five Cents a
Ton Is Scheduled for
Aug. 10.
Possibility Of a Shortage in Anthra-
cite Is Given as the
Cause.

Soft coal will be advanced % cents a
ton Aug. Is, and perhaps another advance
will be made Sept. l. The condition re-
suits from a possible shortage of anthra-
cite because Of slow lake shipments. Hard
coal now brings $S.55. Aug. an advance.
of 10 cents will be made and another.
will follow Sept. l. This is the regular
schedule of advances.
In the local market there seems no pos
sibility of an extreme shortage OF hard
coal, but no surplus will be shown In the
spring. It will be found Oct l, when the
regular coal season usually begins, that
at least SO per cent of the customers have
been supplied. This early demand and
early filling of orders has resulted In a
short supply in the coal bins, which would
give the popular mind the impression that
a shortage was already evident
One dealer has this to say of the sit
uation:
Hard coal is coming over the lakes
slowly. The eastern market is buying 1t
as fast as it is mined, and the companies
are unable to get enough ahead for ship
ment.. There is a strong chance or a
shortage this year Of northwestern re-
quirements, and 1 believe it will amount
to 200, 900 tons.
"From April 10 to date only about 225,-
900 tons have been shipped over the lakes,
and this has all gone out to the country,
Or has been distributed in the twin cities.
There will be shipments of 100000 tons
per month for the next four months.
which will make 100000 tons or more that
we still have coming, and with the 225,-
900 tons we have already received a total
of 625, 900 tons. This season the require
ments of the northwest must certainly be
at least S25, 900 tons, which, as I said, will
leave us 200, 900 tons short"
Other dealers believe the probable short
age will not be more than 10O 900 tons.
because the amount coming is in excess
Of 400, 900 tons.

their divorce case.
The case was that of Marion A. Deming

on a motion Of the PLAINTIFF for temporary
alimony and attorneys fees. A. H. Hall
for the defendant argued against the mo-
ton, but as Is the practice, $25 attorneys

plaintiff.
. The plaintiff alleges cruel and inhuman
treatment while the defendant sets up a
counter claim Of cruelty and violence. In
addition he alleges that he and the plain
tiff are not legally man and wife since she
had at the time Of their wedding a hus-
band living named James L. Mccarthy.
Mrs. Deming denies this.

a square yard. This includes the price Of
the slate and the expense Of labor for
hauling the slate, distributing it. sprin-
king and rolling. Such macadam thus
costs less than half as much asphalt,
and e-quarter less than usual rock
macadam.
The slate paving is almost noiseless,
more elastic than any road except the
natural earth, and very clean. The small
er particles Of slate, when moistened and
rolled repeatedly, form cement or
bond without the use of sand or gravel
The finished pavement becomes smoother
and cleaner the more it is used. Dust
may be prevented by very light sprtnk-
ling. The durability of slate macadam
has been proved by years of trial on many
roads in other states, especially in Penn
| sylvania. A threeyears test has shown
excellent results on Sixth street Sc, near
Central avenue.
This slate paving on Seventh street SD
was begun two months ago under the d.
rection of e. R. Dutton, assistant city
engineer. The macadam, thirty-six feet
| in width from curb to curb, extends a
mile and a quarter. The slate is supplied
by William c. Sargent of Duluth from
quarries at Thomson, Minn close to the
Dalles of the ST. Louis river.

TRIP TO MOUND CITY
Few Machines Turn Out for First
Country Run Of Automo-

Several of the Rigs Hung Up Along
the Route Some Good
Time.


Only six machines took part in the first
country run Of the Minneapolis Automobile
club to-day. The threatening weather
probably kept many away: It had been
the intention to start the machines in
three classes, grading them according to
price. Only one machine Of the second
class ($S0O to $1,000 showed up, however.
DR.. A. A. Law was pacemaker for the
first class. which started at 9:25. It was
soon apparent that few Of the larger rigs
would take part, so w. E. Wheeler, with
his Knox, the only machine Of class two
on hand, started fifteen minutes after
the first -class machines.
The route followed was thru WayZata,
and Minnetonka Beach to Mound City,
which DR.. Law, in his Rambler, and
Wheeler in his Knox, reached at 11:15.
H. p. Partridge, in an Olds, arrived a few
minutes later. w. Y. Chute's Rambler.
one Of the starters, threw a shoe before
reaching Harmon place and abandoned
the run. r. e. Stoddard and w. M. Ad-
land were delayed along the route and
were met by the others on the return
trip.
1t had been the intention to go to Ex-
celsior for luncheon, but after reaching
the Mound the plan was changed, and
the chauffeurs separated, some returning
directly to Minneapolis and others going
to various points around the lake for
luncheon. w. e. Wheeler made the re-
turn trip from the Mound in an hour and
ten minutes.
