COAL PRICES NOT RAISED
Illinois Coal is Fifty Cents Cheaper
and Petroleum Coke is Down
Dollar a Ton.
DEALERS ARE NOT ORGANIZED

''No one in Omaha need have any fear
Of being overcharged in buying coal"
said Victor White, discussing the prices
OF coal that obtain in Omaha. There is
no chance for there is no coal exchange
or organization of coal dealers here.
Everybody i'm the coal business is going
il for himself sort of free lancing AS
a matter of fact, while hard coal has adj
vanced 60 cents a ton at the mines since
last April. the Omaha dealers are still
selling It for the same price. They have
not advanced a cent. They are selling
the regular furnace size for 5000 and the
smaller size. or base burner size, for Sill
Yes, the coal man is the worst hated
man I'm town, and l don't see why. we
are unpopular and people complain about
the price of coal. even of the price oil
hard coal, when we would rather sell any
thing else in the world than hard coal,
Tor there is no profit in it for us
Coal is not costing consumers in Omaha
bit more this winter than usual, and in
some grades It is even costing them. a
great deal less. While wheat flour,
sugar. beans meat and all the necessi-
ties of life have made a greater or less
alarming advance since the opening OF
the war. coal at least has remained neu-
trail.
Illinois Coal Cheaper.
Illinois. coal is even so cents ton
cheaper than last year 1t sold in Omaha
last year for 81 and this year is selling
for $3.50. Dealers account for this by the
fact that this coal comes into direct and
sharp competition in this district with
the wyoming and other western Goals
Petroleum coke also has come down a
dollar a ton, for the first time. For years
IL has sold In Omaha for $3.50 and this
winter the Sheridan Coal company, which
has obtained the exclusive agency, has
reduced it to $780,
More Coke Sold.
Coke is coming more and more into
favor for furnace use in residences and
dealers say that they are selling more
of II this winter than in years past.
Petroleum coke comes in large irregular
chunks. 1t is a byproduct OF residue that
occurs in oil refineries 1t contains a
quantity of crude oil that is not extracted
i'm the refining process and therefore
makes a very hot fire. 1t is used largely
in hot air furnaces.
Vulcan coke also sells for $3.50. This is
a firm, hard coke, with considerable
weight Ordinary gas coke sells at $50
This is the light coke with little body
to it.
To get the best results from the burn
ing of coke in furnaces dealers say one
must supplement it with some kind Oh

LIVES SAVED BY TELEPHONE.
One Man Drank Poison, and Another
Severed Four Arteries.

Within the last several days two lives
have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. |. w. LentZ, OF Orders, Breth-
rem minister, took poison by mistake toT
his medicine. No physician being here,
his family got instruction from a distant
physician. Antidotes were administered
and his lite was saved.
William MlonIch, in Pendieton county
tried to cut a bullet from the breach OF
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
OF bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, al
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave instruc-
tions over the phone. Another lite was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is 10 years old.

Tho Moon and Timber.

It may be asked in all seriousness
how much longer the superstition will
live which ascribes to the moon an
influence over timber? This unset
entifc and improbable claim has long
held a place In the backwoods, where
people were prone to accept the teach
ings of tradition without much con-
Germ about cause and effect; but 1t
is rather late in the day now for edu-
Gated people to attribute to the dead,
inert moon an influence on vegetation.
II there Is anything certain 1t Is
that the moon has no observable erect
on the flow OF a trees sap or on the
characters and qualities OF the wood.
1t can be argued scientifically that
it cannot have, and it has been dem
onstrated in practice that 1t does not
have such effect. Apparently there Is
some mistake in the statement that
the telling is done by moonlight, or
with regard to any phase Of the moon.
Accounts Of modern mahogany-logging
operations In America and Africa do
not mention that custom. In some OF
the tropical regions hauling logs from
the woods is done at night because the
heat by day cannot be endured by the
men and teams.-Hardwood Record

WOLVES ARE HARD TO TRAP
Shares, to Be at All Effective, Must Be
Handled Only With OIL
Soaked Gloves.

Wolves are the most difficult OF all
animals to traps, and it Is usually by
working upon their uncomfortable curl
osity that they are most easily de-
ceived. The campfire set" is one OF
the best. When man makes camp in
the forest the wolves, II there are any
near, are sure to note his whereabouts,
When he has gone they trot up to In
vestigate the ground. and with due
caution pick up any scraps he may
have left lying about. The campfire
set" is made as follows: First, hollow
out an oblong hole in the ground. just
large enough TO take the trap. and per-
haps FIVE inches deep. Cover the trap
with q sheet Of brown paper, and over
this fill the hole with damp earth
Then light fire on the top OF 1t, and
into the fire, as 1t grows low, throw a
few scraps Of raw meat.
Should wolf come along to inVes'
tigate the place, he is sure to scent
the cooked meat, and Will start
scratching in the ashes for 1t, thus OF
course springing the trap.
One Of the greatest difficulties In
wolf-trapping Is to hide the aforesaid
telltale scents, so keen Is their sense
OF smell. The traps must never be
handled with the naked fingers. Old
gloves, soaked in oil or fat, are used
and It Is best to smoke the trap over
"smudge" fire before setting 1t, and
then inclose It in a paper bag.-H
