EMPTY ANTHRACITE BINS.
Council Bluffs Coal Dealers Cannot
Satisfy cIamorous Patrons.

Special to Times Republican,.
Council Bluffs, Feb. 13.-For the
first tine this winter, Council Bluffs
coal dealers are confronted with empty
anthracite bins on one hand and clam
orous patrons on the other. Saturday
was the first day on which household
ers could not get what they ordered.
The dealers found themselves all at
once running short. They helped one
another out as much as possible but
now all are without hard coal. The
supply of steam coal is also gone. The
dealers all say they have coal ordered
and in shipment but complain that the
railroads are setting it out to make
way for other kinds of traffic. There
will be much hardship here if the pres
ent weather continues, unless the de-
layed shipments are received soon.
Reports from outlaying towns are to
the same effect.
