COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Oct 26.-The Black Dia-
mond today says:'.A great deal of bull
ish talk is being INDUCED in among
the sellers of coal in Chicago and the
apparent Inference is that the market
is stiffening all along the line with
something of runaway tendency in
prices. PROFESSIONALLY the market is
in a good position as far as the future
trade is concerned and especially in
those grades where the country trade
has an influence. Nevertheless the
market, for most Goals sold in Chicago,
is just little bit easier this week.
There are exceptions to this general
rule, but the rule applies.
"The easier tone is manifested first
in the eastern Goals, but quite gener-
ally in all of the lump preparations.
AS far as eastern coal is concerned the
explanation is found in the fact that
shipments to the west are just little
bit freer, possibly due to the diversion
from the lake trade. AS far as west
ern Goals are concerned, any easier
tone is the direct resultant of mar
rowing of the market through the re-
strictions placed upon the movement
of cars. The easing of the general
tone, OF course, is found mostly in do
nestle sizes and part of this can be
explained by the fact that the warmer
weather has lessened the demand tenn
porariIy. The anthracite trade is ex-
ccptionally strong, selling agencies be-
ing behind on orders anywhere from
200 to 500 cars"

PIPE CAUSES ALARM.
"Corn Cob Merchum" Starts Fire
At Hotel Downing.

What might have proven a damag-
ing conflagration and even the loss of
lives was prevented by the diligence
of the employees of Hotel Downing
early Sunday morning. Night Clerk
Perkins discovered fire in the house
and checked it before the flames had
gained any Roadway, and before the
guests of the house knew of the dan
ger
The origin of the fire was a peculiar
one. Thomas Jackson, coal miner,
came to the hotel late Saturday even
ing and registered. He was assigned
to room 211. Jackson had probably
lit his pipe after going to his room.
When he retired for the night he put
his corn cob pipe in his hat on the
chair.
1t is the duties of either the night
clerk or night porter to make a tour
of the hotel every hour, so as to see
there Is no fire or other danger in the
building. About three O'Clock Sun
day morning Night Clerk Perkins
while going through the halls on the
third floor smellcd fire. He soon saw
smoke issuing through the transom OF
room I'll, occupied by Jackson. He
called Mack Whitehead, the porter.
and they had a hard time getting into
the room and subduing the fire. The
flames when discovered were making
good Roadway and the room was filled
with smoke. The miner slept unaware
of the danger he was in. Luckily the
only damage done was to Jackson'S
hat and the chair.

Fined But Released.

Jonas Mitchum, residing, near oska-
loosa and probably one of the oldest
offenders in the local police courts.
broke into the limelight by coming to
the city and getting drunk again. He
was arrested last night by officers and
spent the evening at Hotel Valentine.
He was escorted this morning to JUS
tice Woodruff, where he pleaded guilty
to the intoxication charge and was re.
leased upon his promise to pay fine
of ten dollars and costs, which he
agreed to pay, and Squire Woodruff
hung thirty days Jail sentence over
his head providing he forgets to pay
the fine.

Fox Is Better.

Austin Fox, the street car conduc-
tor who was hit by the Iowa Central
passenger No. Thursday evening
while tagging the crossing, is getting
along as nicely as can be expected.
How he escaped death is miracle,
as the train was travelling at the rate
of about fifteen miles an hour when
it hit him. What seems more miracu-
lous is that the gentleman suffered no
internal injuries or broken bones. He
was badly bruised, however, about the
hips and is very sore.

BASE BALL
Kewanee Wants In.

Kcwanee has always been known as
a hustIing place and this fact was
never better shown than by the ener-
gy displayed by the base ball associa-
ton of that place in raising funds to
secure financial backing in an appli-
cation to the Iowa league next sea
son. Though the attitude of the di-
rectors of the circuit was only luke
warm toward Kewanee. when the town
was first proposed for membership,
the constant efforts of the Illinois
town to gain place in the league are
bearing fruit in more cordial feeling
on the part of the older towns. There
is no doubt but that Kewanee would
draw well, and were the town not so
far. out of the circuit it would be an
ideal successor to Marshalltown. How.
ever, the directors of the league at
their meeting next month will give
the Kewanee application careful con
sideration.
Tho Kewance Democrat says:
First definite steps in the way oil
securing for Kewanee berth in the
Iowa State base ball league were tall'
en- yesterday afternoon when the Ke.
vance base ball association author
lied a committee to go ahead and So
cure forty stockholders who would
subscribe for fifty dollars worth OF
stock. 1t is not thought that this will
be difficult proposition and Kewa.
nec's chances of taking the Marshall
town franchise are better today thar
at any time slhee the project was
first launched. i1oN-1Na
six good points in favor of the lea
que base ball proposition for Kewanee
are as follows:
First. There are hundreds of Ke
vance people Interested enough in tho
national game, who would travel miles
TO see league teams play, whereas they
never attend an independent team
game.
Second. Hundreds of Kcwanee PEG
pie who arc anxious to sec ball games
never attend on Sundays but would at
tend big percentage of the wcek-da!
games.
Third. Kewanee would be one o
the best advertised cities in the state
as every day the newspapers in ever!
direction would publish the accoun
of the games.
Fourth. Many out of town people
would come to Kewanee to sec tn,
league games, and while here would
have time to do little trading and II
that way the merchants would b
benefited.
Fifth. Between forty and fifty bal
players who are now not residents O
the city would have to find boarding.
places here, and the hotels and board
ing houses would reap benefits.
Sixth. The street car business
both interurban and local, would b
greatly increased and money would b
left in the city in this way"

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES
Items Of Interest Concerning the
Oskaloosa Organization

- Is
Under the direction of their enthusi-
astic leader, Mrs. F. D. Reid, the Phil
anthropic and Civic Improvement de-
partments Of the Oskaloosa Woman's
Club held their first open meeting of
the season and the event was in every
detail a gratifying success. The at
tendance was quite large ON the part
OF both the club members and outsid-
ers and all We're equally pleased with
the program which was carried out in
full as published.
The musical numbers by Misses Mae
Millar and Mollie Strohmeier were ex-
ecuted with more than usual skill and
exhibited wonderful interpreting pow
er.
The whistling solo by Mrs. Bell was
certainly treat, and as a beautiful
and very agreeable variation from the
ordinary musical numbers it was much
appreciated by all who were fortunate
enough to hear it,
In former years Oskaloosa audiences
have been charmed by the beautiful
voice of Mrs, Virginia Knight Logan.
but on this occasion the lady succeeded
in captivating her hearers as never
before. Her selections were all pro-
auctions of her talented son Frederick,
and as such were appreciated all the
more.
"Altruistic Work of Women's Clubs"
was the subject of carefully prepared
paper read by Mrs. Reid, in which
she spent no extra efforts in sighting
local conditions. She handled her, sub
ject in a rather clever but very prac-
tical manner. She referred in not
very complimentary terms to the
present conditions of our opera house
The title Grand" is almost hypocrit-
ical, according to her presentation of
the manner I'm which the theatre is
being cared for. In keeping with the
elevated name which has been applied
to the playhouse she believed that it
would be highly appropriate to have
it cleaned up. Other public utilities
in the city were also included within
the scope Of her comprehensive paper
and she offered the suggestion that an
Improvement in the city gas and water
facilities would be possible. Laundry
experiences of the past summer she
did not believe would be soon forgot
ten. Altruistic work of other clubs
over the state was brought forcibly to
our minds. Oskaloosa's Woman's club
has been very instrumental in bringing
about needed improvements in this
city and the results OF it's good work
will be lasting. Let us not weary in
our well doing.
Mrs. r. C. Hoffman offered "An Out
line on Civic Improvement" which was
considered excellent from start to fin
ish, pointing out to us many things
which it will be possible to accomplish
with our united efforts and in view Of
the natural advantages with which our
little city has been bestowed.
A motion prevailed to the effect that
Mrs. Oppcnheimer be made chairman
of committee to agitate curfew or
dinance
The Board of Management held a
meeting and transacted the usual rou-
tine business. A large list of new
members were received into the club
and according to impartial Judgment
the meeting was a success from every
point of view. The various commit
tees in the club are working hard and
accomplishing much.

| windows of the Rosemary were all
dark, and there was nothing to stay
for. So he thought, at all events; but
IL he had not been musing distracted
ly upon things widely separated from
his present surroundings. he might
have remarked two tiny stars of Ian
tern light high on the placer ground
above the embankment: or, falling
the sight, he might have heard the
dull, measured slumph of a churn- drill
burrowing deep in the frozen earth OF
the slope.
AS 1t was, a pair of brown eyes
blinded him, and the tones OF a voice
sweeter than the songs of Oberon's
sea maid filled his ears Wherefore
he neither saw nor heard: and taking
the short cut across the mouth of the
lateral gulch back TO camp. he boarded
the dinkey and went to bed without
disturbing Adams.
The morning OF the day TO come
broke clear and still, with the stars
paling one by one at the pointing fin
ger of the dawn, and the frost-rime
lying thick and white like a snowfall

mighty explosion trembled upon the
still air. followed instantly by a sound
OF a passing avalanche.
Winton was out and running up the
track before the camp was fairly
aroused. What he saw when he
gained the hither side OF the lateral
gulch was sight TO make a strong
man weep. A huge landslide. starting
from the frozen placer ground high
up on the western promontory had
swept every vestige OF track and en-
hanAment into the deep he'd OF the
creek at point precisely opposite Mr.
Somerville Darrah's private car.
