Coal Prices
Must Advance.

Everything is going up, in
cluding coal, although coal
men have been among the last
to take advantage of the rising
tide of prices. While referring
to tho Chicago situation, there
arc many facts in the following
statement which apply to all
markets aud fields:
Coal consumers face an in
crease of from ten to fifty cents
per ton in the cost of domestic
and steam fuel. Increases paid

rates to Chicago have advanced

declare that thoir minimum AL

in the cost of materials, will be
at least ten cents per ton. This
advance applies to districts
where the operating conditions
are most favorable. In other
districts the minimum will have
to be considerably higher. Some
of the supplies used in and
about coal mines have advan

INSPECTORS RETURN
FROM 'OUSTIN Y. TRIP
Postmaster John G. Porter of
Bridgeport, Ordered to Give
Up Office, Puts Up Fight.
GETS OUT AN INJUNCTION

Postoffice Inspectors w. N. Coble
and George H. Booker returned Fri,
day evening from a trip to Lincoln
Bridgeport and Bayard, during which
they succeeded in ousting John G.
Porter from the postmastership at
Bridgeport and installing Earl Steu-
teville as acting postmaster.
The trouble at Bridgeport arose
over Porter's request to the depart.
ment for more help in the postoffice
for handling the mails. When his re-
quest was refused he wrote a letter
to which the department took excep-
tion and ordered him to give up the
office. He refused, and when In
spector Coble went to take over the
office he got out an injunction pro-
hibiting Coble from taking the office
by force. The injunction, however,
did not include other employees Of
the department, and Coble telegraph.
ed for Inspector Booker, to whom
the order did not apply.
Porter is Arrested.
On Monday a warrant was sworn
out in Lincoln and deputy marshal
accompanied the inspectors to
Bridgeport, where Porter was put I'M
der arrest, the office taken over by
Inspector Booker and retransferred
to Steuteville. The officers took Por-
ter to Bayard, where United States
Commissioner Cronkleton heard the
charges and bound Porter over to
the federal grand jury, which will
meet in the fall, Porter furnished
bail and was released.
The charge against Porter Is
technically one OF embezzlement. Sec
ton 1875 OF the postal regulations
says in part: ANY postmaster who
shall fail to account for, or turn over
to the proper officer or agent any
money or property when required to
do so by law or the regulation Of the
Postoffice department, or upon de-
mand or order OF the postmaster gen
eral, either directly or through an
authorized officer or agent, shall be
deemed guilty Of embezzlement." The
penalty IS fixed at a fine equal to the
value Of the property retained or ia
not more than ten years imprison-
ment, or both"

shorts were just as anxious to get
the wheat. They had agreed to de-
liver wheat at low prices and the
rapid advance was giving them heart
failure. They bought everything Of
fered and were. glad to get hold Of
it, fearing that prices were going to
continue to soar.
Toward the close of the session
prices eased off little, but the close
was much above the opening. 1t was
real day with the traders and dur
ing the greater portion OF the session
the wheat pit was crowded. Men
pulled and hauled and fought for op-
portunities to get in and trade, while
the gallery filled with spectators
watching the excitement.
The Omaha cash market was
strong all around. Wheat advanced
| to 2 cents; corn. "a to l cent, and
oats, u cent. Wheat sold at SO to
90 cents; corn, 1871 to rs cents, and
oats at 37H to IS cents per bushel.
Receipts for the day were: Wheat,
forty-two carloads; corn, twenty
three carloads, and oats, twenty-six
carloads.
