The Devil Loses an Army.

A, midnight last, statewide pro-
hibition went into effect In seven
states. The first effect is the putting
o,t Of business Of a large number OK
breweries, wholesale liquor houses ana
disti,leries. Also more thans 5000 sa-
looms close their careers Of spreading
death, restitution and crime. inc
states are Arkansas. South Carolina
Idaho. Iowa, oregon and Washington.
Idaho's law is the most drastic thus
far adopted, making possession Of any
kind of malt or spurious liquors
crime, excepting wine for sacramento
purposes and pure alcohol for medical
scientific and mechanical purposes.
OF course these state laws throwing
Off the yoke Of the liquor interests con-
stitute an invasion of personal lib
erty''-the personal liberty to exploit
the follies and weaknesses of the peo-
pie for personal profit. Let us hope
the majority Of men turned out of en-
ployment from the closed saloons,
breweries and distilleries will enter
useful industries and produce some
thing where they have been tearing
| down and degrading. Our mildest
wish would be that every institution OF
~ -
the kind be wiped out Of existence be-
| fore another year-twenty -four hours
would suit us better.

Fuel Famine in Some Places.

The following statement is made by
the anthracite coal operators:
Numerous reports have been circu-
lated that there is a shortage OF an
thracite coal and that the price is in
crea sing at various points. AS mat
ter Of fact. there is plenty OF anthra-
cite above ground to meet all demands,
and the only difficulty is that Of dis
tribution Owing to slack buying dur
ing the summer months less anthracite
than usual was delivered, and, because
Of the unprecedented congestion OF
freight fewer cars are available for
moving it. Due to the demand in the
foreign trade, the available floating
equipment is also shorter than usual,
while unloading is slower because of
general pressure upon facilities.
There has been no recent change
in the wholesale price of anthracite
The last was in 1912 when stove coal
was advanced sc ton, chestnut l3c.
and pea soc, as an offset to the rise in
: wages granted that year and to other
increased mining costs
| However there is a very serious
prospect for some localities if we are
to believe all the reports. A New York
correspondent deals with the situation
somewhat frantically as follows:
predicting newyear dearth of
fuel that will send coal soaring to pro-
hibitive prices and pinch the poor to
the point of widespread disease and
death from exposure. experts in the
employ of this city are planning heroic
measures for breaking the serious
stoppage in supply and transportation
from the fuel fields While coal can
not be procured for love or money by
many big consumers, whose bins. upon
which hundreds depend for heat, are
now almost empty. the small house
holder is bidding record prices for his
furnace supply and the people OF the
tenements are paying as high rate as
s25 a ton for their tiny pailfuls. I'm
less the carriers cut the congestion OF
fuel freight and the miners speed tf
this metropolis many thousands OF
i tons a day, it now seems certain thai
this winter will see suffering from the
cold such as the people of Gotham
have never known

Here's pretty good yarn about a

among the lovers of good stories and
it may be said incidentally that the
same yarn has for some years been
worked off with great success on the
unsuspecting Holsters that come to
certain parts Of the Maine seacOast
from some Of the Massachusetts cities:
Sometime ago when a drawbridge
connected WoolWich with Westport,
navigation was held up for two or
three days. Vessels could not get
up or down the river some unknown
object was caught in the draw of the
bridge. After trying all kinds Of
schemes with grapplings and dynamite
t to clear the channel, 4 diver was sent
for 1t only took him a few minutes
to discover the trouble. A lobster
| had started to crawl through the draw
Of the bridge and got his claw caught
between the abutments in such way
that he could not get through or back
again. A derrick was rugged and a
! chain put around him and probably one
Of the largest Holsters ever caught was
taken from that bridge.

ORDER RESTORED,

CHIHUAHUA CITY, Sept. 1S.- Government soldiers detailed to bring order out of chaos created by Pancho Villas Hidalgo attack upon the state capital removed sev- eral hundred bodies of men and ami mals from the city streets today and buried them outside the city limits The buildings which suffered from gunfire and were in danger of fall ing were dynamited.
 Eighty prisoners who were Villa followers were executed. Included in this number was NJ. Choas. for merly chief of Villas staff The city is orderly again.
 VILLA WON BATTLE.
 WASHINGTON D. c. Sept. 21.- General Bell rendered a report to- day to the war department describ- ing the latest Villa raid. In his re- port the American officer states that he has asCertained that Villa in per son led the recent attack on Chi huahua city. The attack was a sue cessful one. The bandit leader lib erated the prisoners in the jail there. over one thousand followers of the Carranza forces deserted the gov ernment and joined the bandit lead er taking with them a large sup ply of ammunition.
 Villa is again gaining strength in Mexico, says the American officer, and Carranza is losing, so that the United States must be prepared to act quickly if the time comes.
 REPORT CONTRADlCTED.
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 22.- The war department officials do not regard as final or conclusive the re- port of General Bell saying that Villa led the forces of rebels into Chihuahua City. The Mexican em- bassy has announced the receipt of official advices declaring that Villa was not in the attacking force. Gen eral Trevino advised Ambassador Arredondo that the followers of Vii la carried absolutely nothing awa from the city except some prisoners from the penitentiary, many of who returned to jail of their own free will shortly after they were released.
 General Trevino emphatically de- nies that Villa or his forces 2 any ammunition or cannon
 supplies in the city of Chihuahua. He states that there was nothir of that kind surrendered by either his soldiers or civilians to the rebels. He also states that none of the fol lowers of Carranza deserted to the rebel flag.
