grief over her child's hasty action.
For two years past, Hjalmar Erickson
has made love to pretty Hetty Reed.
Yet consent of Hetty's parents was not

SCREEN BROKE FALL
Baby at st. Paul Falls from Third
Story Window and Escapes Death.

julie Morey, the 2-year-old daughter
Of Harry Morey, 631 Mississippi street,
St. Paul, was playing near the window
in the third story Of. her parents home
last night. Painters had taken out the
window screen, which had previously
been nailed tight, and failed to put it
back securely in place. The little one
climbed upon the sill. A baby brother
pushed her and the screen fell out;
The screen acted as parachute and
sailed out into the street. The child
struck far less heavily than she would
have done had the fall been direct.
She was unconscious when carried into
the house but revived and today was
in favorable condition.

GOAL DEALERS SAY
PROFITS ARE SMALL

Coal dealers are up in arms today
over the admitted statement of the LIE
high valley coal representative yester-
day before the board of equalization
that with hard coal at $3.50, there was
a profit of 1884 ton.
A prominent coal dealer. said today
that coal costs $7.55 to the companies
which secure coal at the docks and SIS
who buys coal at the yards and retails
it at $3.50. Small retail dealers pay
$7.55 at the yards for hard coal. It
costs them As cents to haul, leaving
a small margin Of IS cents. Large re
tail companies pay $3.50 at the head
Of the lakes for their coal. The freight
costs $l.25, and to this must be added
the hauling and yarding before any
margin is realized at the retail price to-
day of 1886.
