COAL TRADE REVIEW,
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS ~
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 2e.-The trend
.sif the Chicago market during the
past week has been downward rather
lthan upward. The volume of business
|Iransacted has been light and the
quotations unsatisfactory low and
fuctuating without apparent reason.
Most conspicuous among the feat
ures of the week mas been the state
of the market for screenings. Illinois
and Indiana screenings have been
abundant and many cars have goneTp
to demHrrage each day, forcing their
\ owners'or consignees to sacrifice them
4 at whatever prices could be obtained.
The week opened with the ruling
price from twenty-five to thirty-fiEe
| cents at the mine, but successive
forced sales have crowded the price
down so that the quotation of ten to
| fifteen cents at the mine has been
most common, though by no means
| the lowest in cases of especial stress.
A considerable tonnage has been sold
for the freight charges and in some
instances it has been possible to OBJ
tain aifew scattering cars for as much
as fifteen cents below the freight.

Speaker Cannon occupied the most
of the evening with a brilliant adj
dress dealing with national politics,

the republican platform of today con-
tanned the same plank on tariff for
protection that was placed there in
1860 when Abraham Lincoln was the
standard bearer. He gave a resume
of the conditions from that time TIC
the present day, showing the rapid
advance in all lines made Iby the re
publican party.
Concerning reciprocity with Can
ada, Speaker Cannon said that he did
not favor reciprocity with any coun'
try. With reference to the situation
in Iowa, Cannon suggested that We
again this year elect the republicans
to office, and above all things not to
have two parties in the one.
Major Lacey was the subject OF
some Straightforward comment, In
which mis- excellent work in the
houses was lauded highly.
Following Speaker Cannon Mr.. Wat
son made a few remarks, referring
briefly to Iowa affairs and soliciting
the support of the voters for Lacey
ut would gladden. the heart of Thee
dore Roosevelt to send Congressman
Lacey and the whole Iowa delegation
black again to hold up his hands II
support of good republican govern
ment," said Mr. Watson.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
Successful County Convention. Pres
Hedge Reelected.

The thirty-second annual Sunday
school convention of Mahaska county
closed Friday evening after most
satisfactory meeting and one that
showed conclusively to those in touch
with the work that the effort of the
association is bearing abundant fruit
and reaping greater harvest than
ever before.
The organization of the Sunday
school association may not be gener-
ally understood. 1t is planned upon
the same lines as are township, county
and state representations in the gen
eral government Each township has
its organization and holds its conven.
ton in which all of the Sunday schools
of the township are supposed to have
part. The townships send represent
tives to the county meeting, the coun-
ty to the state and the state to the
national, which is the working head of
the organization The state organiza-
lions, however, have the greater jur-
isdiction over the schools.
The county convention this year
was better than previous efforts and a
keener interest seems to pervade the
organization. A determined efforts is
being made to moderniZe the schools
and to get them out of the ruts of the
roads long Travelled with little or nc
showing Of results.

The Muscatine News-Tribune has
the following:
"The principal singing part in the

The convention was, all in all, en-
joyable and successful, rejecting
much credit upon the Oskaloosa Corps,
the members of which have labored
long and hard to have the meeting a
success. No business is transacted
at district conventions, the idea be-
ing to make them purely social and
devoted to the best interests of the
order.

Keep Coal Dry.

Coal that is kept in a dry and airy
coal house will burn much brighter
and longer than that kept in a, close
cellar whe1ce it has no ventilation
When coal is kept long in a close
place its gas is lost, and the absence
of this gas renders it less powerful
and more wasteful when burned.
