COAL ORDERS PLENTIFUL
QUESTION OF OPERATORS is MAT.
TER OF FILLING THEM.
Encouraging Reports From General
Observation-Disclosures Were Least
in Several Years.

Chicago, Sept. 4.--The Black Dia-
mond in its issue to-day says: #
THE coal trade as whole is gett-
ing in that enviable position where it
is not a question of orders so much
as it is an available and quick sup
ply of coal to satisfy all demands. OF
course, there is coal enough to go
around, and, of course, the possible
production of the mines could far ex-
coed any normal consumption but it is
a serious question whether the oper-
ating companies are going to be able
to obtain enough men to work the
mines, and whether the railroads are
going to be able to get enough cars
to move the product to market. Those
two things are the uncertain factors
of the future, and seem to predict fav-
orable prices to the operators, but un-
favorable conditions for the retailers
and the consumers. From east to
west the conditions are the same.
General Business Good.
New York, Sept. 4.-Bradstreets
to-day says:
''As the season advances the trade
tends to show further expansion and
industrial lines are becoming more &C.
tive. Outputs are being increased by
plants already in operation before the
reports come to hand of assumptions
by concerns that have been shut down
for some time past. Payrolls are larg.
er and more men are employed. In
nutshell trade is good; industry
particularly iron and steel, is active;
outputs are close to normal and pros
poets are pleasant.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Sept
were 100 against POI last week, PIC
in the like week of 1908. 100 in 1907
IL in 1906 and 1877 in 1905.
Wheat, including -four exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending Sept. aggregate 3,lSS,
GAL blu. against 2,934,543 last week and
5,396,026 this week last year."

SUICIDE AT PELLA
Robert De Vris Blows Brains Out With
Bullet.

Pella, Ia, Sept. 4.-Robert, or
"Bub" De Vris, son of John De Vris,
committed suicide here last night by
shooting. The boy was about twenty
five years of age and was respondent.
He was in i'll health and had been
drinking to excess for some time. A
shot was heard by number of peo-
pie about nine O'Clock but was thought
to be the exhaust of gasoline engine
in printing office. The body was
found about two o'clock this morning
where it had fallen, at the rear of the
fathers jewelry store. The ball had
entered the brain near and a little
above the ear and had coursed through
the brain, coming out at the outer edge
of the eye on the opposite side of the
head.

Needed Improvement.

The widening of the side walk ON
the northeast and south sides OF the
park would be a much appreciated
Improvement. Market street on the
west side has the Improvement and 1t
was great benefit to the business
houses on that side. Frequently the
crowds about the park streets are so
great that many must walk In the
street to get through the jam. The
widening of the walks mentioned
would do much toward relieving the
congestion complained OF.

thing, which taste we must follow
In order to obtain happiness and

IN the right place. This is the
law Of selection Where a man is
apt to succeed In his line of bust
ness, he may fail in one outside Of
1t, for the reason that he does not
understand how to manage 1t.
Yet some people fail IN their own
vocation.
There is also q taste for amuse.
