STORES COAL.
Reserve of 1900 Carloads Available
 in Case of Strike.

Van Buren, March 7.-Despite the continued rumors that there will be 10 coal strike within the next sixty days in the coal fields of Arkansas aod Indian Territory, the Iron Moun- saln railroad continues to make prepa- fdtions fer ii, and the very fact that (he company is getting ready for such a contingency is deemed significant.
 The railroad is now at work piling 3p coal ill the old yards here, on the ground formerly occupied by the old Tunuhouse, unloading on an average ef fifteen cars per day, and those in } position to know say the plans are 10 store 9oo cars on the ground there, unless prevented by the strike. Early last fall the Iron Mountain stored more than 600 cars in the new yards, md that is practically untouched, titus giving the company a reserve of I500 car loads of coal at Van Buren, should there be a shut down of the mines.
 As this coal must be handled twice sith a shovel before it can be put in the coal docks ready for the engines, t will nearly double the cost of fuel. &n expense the railroad would not in- cur except as a matter of self protec- lion.

The vaiIs Coming.

The Mysterious Vails and their con- pany of select entertainers will pay Ca- naan 8 short visit, commencing tonight. They will remain in town three days giving exhibitions of that marvellous enigma which they call Somniloquism. It is said that Mrs. Vail while in an ap- parant hypnotic trance tells her audience what they are thinking, reading their thoughts and answering all sorts of mental questions, such as locating lost articles, missing relatives, stolen proper ty, giving advice in business etc.,
 The Danbury News of September 16th says the Vails give the most bewildering and entertaining entertainment ever seen in these parts. The New Milford Gazette say their performance is weird and that Mrs. Vail is a wonderful wo- man with strange power. They come highly recommended and should do a good business in Canaan. Their prices are 15, 25 and 35 cents.
