COFFEE GOES UP.
Marked Advance in Price of Berries Is
Noted.

Noted.
There has been a marked advance
in the price of coffee and the house
holder who goes to the grocery, tea or
coffee store after this will find coffee
worth about five cents more a pound
than formerly. This applies to pack
age goods as well as bulk coffee, and
more particularly to the cheaper
grades. 1t will be hard in the future
to find any coffee selling for less
than twenty cents a pound.
The local dealers say that the reason
for the advance is the shortage of the
crop in Brazil, and as Brazil furnishes
three-fourths of the worlds coffee sup
ply, it effects the market everywhere.
The coffee raisers in Brazil were prac-
tically bankrupted several years ago
and the Brazilian government took
charge of affairs. They refused to al
low new tree to be planted and in
sisted that better care be given the
trees already bearing, also limiting the
sale of coffee to 100000 sacks year.
This held back about 5000, 900 sacks in
Brazil and this year as there is short
age, this surplus will help out, but IT
is not enough to prevent a raise in
price, as there is not enough coffee In
the country to satisfy the demand.
The raise in price is chiefly in the
lower grades, but there will be adj
vances in the more costly grades also.
1t is said that this is not the result of
cornering the supply of coffee in Brazil
but that the government is saving itself
by strategic means, which is to pre-
vent the market from being flooded
with coffee when the crop rs large and
to carry a surplus to provide against
failure of the crop. This keeps the
prices steady.

ever unfolded in the annals Of
the large and musty tones Of the
superior court.
The Merks were married in Spo-

three children. They got along
pretty we'll, the husband says, until
four years ago, since when 1t has
been lone slam thing after an
other"
Merk charges that his wife start
ed the festivities some time ago by
hitting him in the face. In round
two she slammed him one in the
jaw. She next ridiculed and
abused his aged parents most
shamefully and made him feel aw-
fully mean.
In the next round, the wife is
charged with having cursed, swore,
abused, harassed and annoyed
Merk until life was rendered mis-
cry to him. She then got a gun,
he says, which she kept in one
of the dresser drawers and threat
ened to use it If he said anything.
She once pulled the gun from a
drawer to use it on him.
Continuing with the details,
Merk says that his wife robbed his
trousers and kept the money. He
says that she was excitable, err
ratio and jealous, and on one occa-
sion knocked a dish of fruit' from
his hand when he was serving her
at the table. Coming back to her
with another dish of the fruit. she
likewise slammed that to the floor.
The browning indignity heaped
upon Merk was when his wife, in a
fit of rage, locked him in room.
