A hard coal famine is threatened in

and the situation may be relieved be-
fore winter sets in, but another long,

promises no comfort eo the burners of
hard coal What coal wac mined this
summer was quickly taken up by the
large dealers at the eastern ports
and they have none to offer to the
smaller dealers.
The bituminus coal supply is more
encouraging. Prices range from 1880
to 1878 per ton and there is ample
supply for the demand AS most of
this coal comes direct from the Hin
ois fields where work was interrupt
ed only by a small strike, which was
easily settled this summer, there is
at present no outlook for scarcity of
that article.
It is estimated that one-third
more coal was used last winter than
usually, and the inability of the
mines to produce enough coal result
ed in unusual prices. However, no ad-
vance in price is expected in Keokuk
at the present time. The large pur-
chases of the railroads this summer,
mindful of past conditions. is given
as another cause Cor the possibility of
famine this winter.

publican secretary acted in and with
the consent of the spea.-er advertised.
Just why Mr.. Folk was SO anxious to
speak first and leave the hall is lett
to the imagination of our readers. He
probably knew who he was up
against" and deemed it wise. Meek.
cr's speech was along tariff lines prin-
cipally, and those who heard his adj
dress say it was one of the best on
this important subject that they ever
heard. He presented facts and argu.
ments which were unanswerable. He
passed the bull mooser up with but
one or two digs. Owing to the wealth
or conditions, the crowd was not large
One bad feature of the meeting was
that with a few exceptions the demo

speech. This was not fair to the re
publicans as the republicans sat

courtesy. Every republican and demo

complete realization of all circus day

has been greater effort than ever be-

before. With complete reconstruction
and enlargement of the Hagenbeck-
Wallace shows the task became COM
paratively easy, merely calling for a
financial outlay in proportion to that

people and four hundred horses were
sufficient in number, but the demands

QUIT caLoMEL!
Thousands Are Turning From This
Dangerous Drug.
A Safe Vegetable Substitute Is Olive
Tablets for the Liver.

Dr. F. NJ. Edwards. prominent
physician of Ohio, has discovered a
new laxative and liver toner in a
combination of vegetable materials,
mixed with olive oil, which Is In et-
feet almost exactly like the old and
untrustworthy calomel, except that
there are none of the bad after ef-
fects of calomel.
DR.. Edwards has long been a foe of
calomel, though he recognized its
value along with its dangers.
His distrust of the uncertain drug
eventually started him years ago to
wards experiments with the view OF
discovering a substitute, and he is to
day in possession of the long-sought
for combination, which is in the shape
of little sugar-coated, olive-oil col
ored tablet.
