COAL GOING UP.
Lump Coal at ottumwa Now Selling
for $3.25-loeaIIy Mined.

Special to Times Republican.
Ottumwa July 29.-Coal 1t Is said is
going up again this winter
1t is not going up because there Is
a shortage in Iowa or the miners have
secured raise in wages or because
freight rates have gone up.
1t is going up because the eastern
dealers and operators say so.
Local dealers are now selling lump
coal for 1925 ton but are not willing
to accept contracts to furnish coal at
that price to their patrons all winter
Coal may go up to $3.50 within week
or two which is now the prevailing
price in the state. Here Is what one
dealer, said today:
Iowa coal dealers are contemplat-
ing raising the price of coal this
winter Iowa mines do not have q big
enough output to supply the demand
Of the railroads therefore coal must
be shipped from the east At the
present time the eastern dealers are
maintaining stiff price and of course
this winter when they are shipping
coal into the state the higher price
will prevail"

Cedar Rapids, July EFF the STORY
told by Master Earl Cline to Probation
Officer Miss Fletcher and Judge Milo
p. Smith is true then his father car
ries off the palm for brutality.
Shortly after dinner yesterday af-
ternoon Miss Fletcher received a
message from a family who resides on
H street west to the effect that Jo-
seph Cline had almost beaten his boy
to death. Miss Fletcher at once went
to the police station where she and
Police Captain Joseph Kroulik took
the police rig and drove to the resi-
dence which Is near Eighth avenue
on II street, west. They found the
boy, who is fourteen years of age
huddled up in bedroom where he
was crying as tho his heart would
break. Police Captain Kroulik at
once talked to him and between sobs
he told the ptiful story. He said
that yesterday morning his father had
gone to the country to get a load of
sod. The boy had taken his COW to
pasture near Riverside park for the
day and fingered awhile with some
companions in the park. 1t was near
" noon when he returned and his
father had in the meantime come
back from the country and unloaded
his sod. He then wanted to know
where the boy had been and why he
had not been home to help unload
the wagon. The boy admitted play
ing in Riverside park and the father
took the horsewhip and gave the boy
a fearful beating. There were welts
on his legs and hip raised as high as
ones finger Blood was oozing from
these. Not satisfied with this meth
cd of punishment the father hit the
not have been so bad but the boy is
just recovering from the effects of an
operation performed some time ago
and is ruptured, being forced to wear
a truss at all times. The probation
officer stated that 1t was one of the
most pitiful cases that had ever come
under her observation. The Judge
was non plussed as to just what action
to take as his authority does not ex-
tend to the punishment of adults He
hardly knew either as to what disposal
to make of the boy. The lad ex-
pressed desire to go to his grandpar-
ents in "a neighboring city and 1t is
possible that this will be the final dis
position of the case
