We have been compelled to decline many orders during the recent abnormal weather, our limited supply of coal having been quickly absorbed.
 survey of the coal supply last Saturday in what is known as "old Birmingham showed about 300 tons of domestic coal on the yards.
 Under conditions of last week some of the larger dealers could handle this amount of coal in one dav Our ability to deliver has been seriously affected by the unusual weather. Very few drivers were willing to endure the severe exposure, and the slip pery condition of the streets made it almost impos- sible for our teams to operate.
 It should be remembered that coal for cities and industries is under the control of the fuel admins tration Dealers, therefore, are not free in the se curing of their coal supply can they arrange it's movement from the mines to meet their individual emergencies.
 We have endeavored to give the public the best service within our power under conditions not of our own making and beyond our control
 This statement, we believe, applies to the other dealers of the city,
 We take this occasion to comment on the months of winter to follow and advise that coal require ments be arranged as far as possible during good weather when deliveries can be made promptly and with the least danger of damage to the premises of customers.

Berger's Chance No Better.
Congressman Randall left early to-
day for Madison for short business
visit and on his return he is going to
take up with the leaders of Kenosha
the question Of getting behind and
pushing for the post office addition.
Judge Randall, who is a member of

intimated that he did not regard Der

Men On Elizabeth st. Side
Walk Hear One Ticking
Away And Call Police
To Investigate.
POLICE ACT WITH CAUTION

The police had another attack of boil
shevism on Saturday night just before
eight O. clock. 1t was bombs this time
and it looked like the real thing The
call to the police came from 1906 Eliza
beth street and the man who sent it
declared that there was bomb in a
cellar there. He knew it was a bomb
because he had seen the box and heard
the monotonous ticking Of a clock
which was spelling off the minutes and
hours till the time when the fuse
should be ignited and the bomb ex-
plode wrecking the building.
Police officers Kirsch and Schmitt
went with the wagon to make an in
vestigation of the case. They found
three men standing on the sidewalk in
front of the building pacing back and
forth awaiting them.
Hear the Ticking Themselves.
"Don T you hear it9'' was the greet
ing of one of the men to the police Of
AASSA %Au bAAOy VAd1lCu bHclI HICKS anu
applied their ears and sure enough
they heard it ticking away. Then
Kirsch decided to take chance on
an examination and finding the door
leading to the basement open he went
right in and with fash light picked
his way to the ominous ticking. There
1T was right on the floor Of the base
ment. 1t looked like a real internal
machine but at that the case of it was
nicely polished and the police officer
had doubts that eveI most desperate
" red" would take the trouble to put
this kind Of high polish on an intern
al machine. He debated and then went
up and shifted at it. Then he found a
notice on it that it was a test meter
sent out to test the pressure Of gas
in that portion Of the city. The PEG
pie making he test had installed the
meter and it was ticking away and
the men on the outside who made the
discovery Of course knew nothing about
it. 1t is still ticking away but the
police are making no more runs to m
vestigate it.

TABULRTE EXPENDITURES
Thirty Percent Of Expenditures Are
Declared To BE Made BY Kenosha
Couples who slip Away To Avoid
Publicity Of Weddings.

Wisconsin couples who elope to Wan
kegan to get married, and it is said
that more than 800 Of them come from
Kenosha, are spending $4,000 annually
in Waukegan, according to report
which has just been submitted to the
Illinois Social Hygienic League by
Bernard G. Roloff, executive secretary
of the league. The report indicates
that recent rulings Of Wisconsin judges
which called into question the validity
Of the Waukegan marriages have not
had any effect on cutting down the
number of them and in recent months
more clippers have been married at
Waukegan than in preceding months or
years.
Speed Marriages Profitable.
'Waukegan offers new situation. ),
says the report. Located within a
few miles Of the Wisconsin state line,
it presents tempting offers to Badger
state couples, speed and silence and a
sufficiently urban setting for the most
imaginative clippers. 1t is estimated
that the speed marriages bring $4,000
year to Waukegan, the report as
serts.
The marriage laws Of Wisconsin are
simple but aggravating to impatient
sweethearts. A publication of their
Intention must be made by prospective
brides and bridegrooms five days be-
fore the wedding, and a health certif-
cate is required by the county clerk
before the issuance of the license to
yed- Illinois statutes say that no mar
Mage shall be performed in this state
in violation of the laws Of another
state.
Mr.. Roloff g report asserts that there
are approximately 800 couples coming
to Waukegan from Wisconsin every
month, and that each and every bride
groom leaves from SIS to $25 in the
town, depending upon the appearance
of the couple and what the various
accessories" can exact.
A regular corps Of cappers, steerers
or pluggers working under the guise of
taxi drivers meet all south bound trains
and they pick out the sweethearts the
minute they step to the ground,s' says
the report. Each taxi driver has his
own Justice of the peace and they share
the marriage fee.
The money left in Waukegan as list
&c, by Mr. Roloff Is report, follows:
