number of them assert.

All through the voods. apparently mingling freely with the common rabbits, Belgian hares are found that are probably the progeny of those that have been turned loose by former owners. The mingling has produced a halfbreed hare-rabbit, some of which have been shot. Most of the hares are pure b'.oods. many of them apparently of fine sto..k, with well-marked ‘'tickings,” that bespeak their aristocratic blood. They are

much prized by sportsmen.

P-

Coal dealers and large consumers of coal saw little change in the situation today, and the coal famine that is feared Is still threatened. The full responsibility for the coal shortage Is put on the railroads by both dealers and consumers. 1— W. George, of the Indianapolis Coal Company, said; "If severe weather sets In. I do not know what people will do. We can scarcely supply the demand now. “The railroad companies have enough cars, but not enough engines. It Is possible for a car to make the trip from the mines and back again In three days. Cars come here, are unloaded, and stay a week or more on the siding, because there are no engines to move them. We have fiftyseven cars of coal at the mines and In

transit, which are tied up.”

George F. Meyer, speaking for A. B. Meyer & Co., said that the situation, so far as they were ^concerned, was unchanged. Their supply depended on the ability of the railroad companies to get

it here.

D. M. Parry said that they were still short. He sees no relief for the situation at present. Lack of motive power, he

says. Is the cause of the shortage. Lay Blame on Operators.

The officials of the local railroads admit there are bad conditions, but the worst condition, they say. Is brought about by the coal operators themselves, who send elsewhere coal that Is under contract to come to India no polls. - They say the strike has made a shortage In anthracite coal of at least 23,009,090 tons, thereby Increasing greatly the number of consumers of soft coal Ir. Indianapolis and contiguous towns, that the shortage of gas makes the de-

fer coal still greater, and that In lianapolls territory the demand for ial has more than doubled since

To Prove What Swamp-Root, the Great Kidney Remedy, Will Do For YOU, Every Reader of The News May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by Mail. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible for more slek> ness and suffering than any other disease, therefore, when through neglect or other causes, kidney trouble ts permitted to continue, fatal results are sure to follow. Your other organs may need attention—but your kidneys most, because they do most and need attention first. If you are sick or “feel badly,” begin taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health.
