MINING 1,000,000 TONS i
OF COAL PER MONTH.
That the period of depression which
has extended over several years is at
an end; that prosperity is now here !
and will continue indefinitely; that
these assertions can be easily backed
up by merely looking about the coun-
try, were among several statements
made Friday by Jere H. Wheelright,
president of the Consolidation Coal
Company, with office at Cumberland.
Taking the coal business as the
barometer, and it is accepted general-
ly as accurately indicating the vol-
ume of trade, Mr. Wheelright stated
that the Consolidation Coal Compeany
since January 1, has mined and ship-
ped coal to date at the rate of 1,000,000
to a month. This is a record for
the Consolidation and will be consid-
ered a high mark generally. Since
August 1, the Consolidation has ex-
ported hundreds of thousands of tons.
From various sections of the coun-
try come reports which indicate that
the wheels of industry and varied
manufactures are speeding up to high
speed, said Mr. Wheelright, and he
pointed out conditions to show it is
typical of the general situation. The
Consolidation has withdrawn quota-
tions for spot coal because of the
greatly enlarged demand.- East and
West there is not a steel mill not plan-
ning orders which will give them fuel
to run at full capacity of the plants.
The war has greatly augmented the
volume of manufactures and has _em-
phatically aided in the increased de-
mands for coal. Before the close, of
the year Mr. Wheelright believes that
existing coal contracts will be re-
placed by new ones at 50 cents a ton
higher price. There will,be no con-
tracts, he avers, which will not bring
some return to the coal operator on
his investment in his property and
risk of the business.
There continues a shortage of cars
and men. The war has greatly cut
down the volume of immigration,
from among which are ordinarily to
|
be found many men who work in the
mines. The war has also been the
means of recalling many coal miners
to the colors oftheir respéctive armies.
Hence the shortage of men. The in-
crease in manufactures has brought
about a shortage in cars, but in a
certain sense there is not a shortage
because it is obvious that coal can be
mined only according to the number
of men engaged in that work and
therefore it follows that a surplusage
is thus avoided.
BODY EXHUMED, FOUL
PIAY IS SUSPECTED.
To determine whether Mrs. Cather-
ine Freet of New Centreville died
from the effects of laudanum, as had
been reported, Coroner H. C. Kimmel
has had the budy disinterred and is
making an examination. The wom-
an died suddenly about six weeks ago.
The. stomach is being examined by
chemists in Philadelphia. Startling ru-
mors have been in circulation in Mil- :
ford township regarding Mrs. Freet's |
death. :
Mrs. Freet died on August 24. She
had not been ill. She did not retire on
August 24 until she had finished all
of her work.
It is said that the woman’s husband
John Freet went to the homes of the
Schrocks and Kimmels, neighbors. He
said his wife had died and that he
wanted the women to arrange the
corpse. It was then about midnight.
The women say that they went to the
Freet home were told that no doctor
had been called in and refused to
touch the body until the authorities
were notified.
Dr. C. T. Saylor was summoned iu
the morning and pronounced the
THE CALLOT TROUSER DRESS.
Dress Designed for American Busi-
ness Women—Extremists.
New York, October 20—Whether
| Callot intended her trouser-dresg 23
| a joke or designed it in all serious-
| ness for the American business wom:
an, no one can tell. Its appeal is to
| the class that likes extreme novelties
and has a hankering for trousers
whether in Oriental fancy dress rid-
| ing habit, sport costume, or in the
' latest Callot style, square and loose
trimmed at the bettom with fur, or
with tucks as worn by Mrs. Long-
worth recently in the street in Chi-
cago.
From the standpoint of modesty
there is nothing against the trouser.
It is simply ugly and has no practi-
cal advantage except for sport wear.
As Callot shows this garment it is
a sort of one-piece pajama of satin
worn beneath the coat suit, and loose
trimmed trousers showing so little
below the outer skirt that they
might easily be mistaken for for a
narrow petticoat. The blouse appear
when the coat is removed or shows
as a contrasting waistcoat where the
coat opens. It is safe to say that
this model will not appeal to the well
dressed busy women, who usually
makes short work of fads of any sort.
Simplicity and Distinction.
The woman who aims at distinctive
dress this season can easily attain it
by eschewing all of the mad rage for
ornament. that has beset: the French
designers and appearing in frocks
dnd suits as nearly plain as possible,
Not, that, the French were to, blame;
i They had to find work to keep the| ss
midinettes from straving, hence all of
the pleatings, ruchings, cordings, pip
| ings, bunchings, braidings, rufflings,
roses, ribbons, bows, loopings and
stitchings that appear on the Paris
model. Yet with true sartorial clever-
ness, these manage to convince that
the jumble is attractive.

It is alleged that Mrs. Freet feared
for her safety and that she had writ:
ten a letter to her sister a short time
before her death, requesting her sis-
ter to take her away before ‘they”
. did way with her.
It is also alleged that on Aug. 21
Mr. Freet purchased a bottle of lau-
danum. The prescription is said to |
have specified that the drug was to
be used for “a sick cow.”

boot-top lengths with fulness con-
fined to shirrings or plaits. It is not
necessary however, that the skirt
should be short and flare, it may be
longer and its soft fulness may cling
to the figure, while tunic effects are
still endorsed by conservative fash-
ion.
Panniers and Slim Bodices.
, Panniers flaunt their dainty loopings
"on half the evening gowns worn, as
well as on formal day dresses. Sump-
tuous fabrics in brocadsd and flow-
ered and embroidered silks are first
choice for panniers while lace floun-
ces trim the .petiigaats as in the old
Du Barry days. Lavish use is made
of chiffon and Georgette crepe, com:
; bined with velvet and other heayy
| fabrics with nearly always a touch
of fur to add to the luxurious effect.
The Moral of the Story
The kindergarten teacher recited to
her pupils the story of the wolf and
the lamb. As she completed it She
sald:
“Now, children, you see that the
jamb would not have been eaten by
the wolf if ne had been good and sene
sible.”
One little boy raised his hand.
“Well, John,” asked the teacher, ,
“what Is it?” | Ribhons and Braids.
“I# the lamb had been good and sen- Trimmings go up or down, straight

Many Meyersdale People Have Been
Called as Witnesses.
Week after week has been publish-
ed the testimony of Meyersdale peo-'!
ple—kidney sufferers—backache vir- |
tims—pople who have endured many |
forms of kidney, bladder or urinary
disorders. These witnesses have us-
ed Doan’ Kidney Pills. All have given |
thir enthusiastic approval. It's
same everywhere. 30,000 American
men and women are publicly recom-
mending Doan’s —always in the
home papers. Isn’t it a wonderful
mass of convincing proof? If you are
a sufferer your verdict must be
“Try Doan’s first.”
Here's one more Meyersdale case:
R. Rosenberger, Keystone street,
Meyersdale, says: “For eight or mine
years I was troubled by pains in the
small of my back. The only medicine
that heiped me wa Doan’s Kidney
Pills. From two to three boxes al-
ways made me feel all right. I recom-
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills to. my
friends.”
