IS COMING A Coal Famine Is Headed This Way. Our readers who have been following the news columns of the daily papers have no doubt noted that there is a probability of one of the greatest striKes in the history of the country, slowly creeping down upon us. Being so far removed from the ,coal fields, many have given the matter but a single thought, but the facts are that such cities as Decatur will be about the first to feel the effects of the action of the miners. It is true that the operators are making hay while the sun shines and are piling up coal at the mines with all possible speed, but that will not help the private consumer. The dealers in small towns, us a rule, do not lay in a very great supply, always feeling that under the pres ent transit system that they can get coal from the mines on short notice without tying up their money. The chances are that shortly after the mines have closed the price of coal will soar skyward and this will be followed by a coal famine

ARE AMBITIOUS Two Decatur Boys to Study for the Priesthood Carl Crawford and Anthony Conter will Soon Leave for a Twelve Years College Course. Carl Crawford and Anthony Cori- ' ter, two of Decatur’s young men, l who recently graduated from the St. Jo*eph’s schools, are busily engaged at present in getting ready to leave August 11 for Dunkirk, N. I Y., where they will enter the pre paratory school with the intention of studying for the priesthood. For the past year these young men have been under the tutorship of Father Wilken, and have been preparing themselves for the first preliminary examinations that will be held on their arrival at Dunkirk, where they will complete a three years’ course. From Dunkirk, however, the young men are unable to state where they will tie sent, and in fact no one seems to know other than that they will be transferred from one school to another until they have completed a course of twelve years in all and have been ordained full fledged priests. During all of these twelve years the young men will have to be content with their studies and work, and during that time will be unable to see their parents or other relatives, as they will not be able to return until they have completed their full course of work. They are bright young men with sterling qualities and have been fully advised of the sacrifice they will be compelled Ao make to take this great course and gain the pinnacle of fame that they so desire to acquire. They are but mere boys and a proposition of this kind generally brings great obstacles in the way, but all of these they have over • come, and they are now anxiously awaiting the appointed time to leave, and are willing and ready to make any saciifloe to gain the desired end It is stated that Father Wilken will accompany the boys to Dunkirk, N. Y., where he will place them in school and see that they are started right, and from then on un‘il they have completed their course of twelve years they will be unable to return to this city. The boys have a host of friends here who wish them all manner of success and hope they will complete their studies within the acquired time and gain their ambitions.

The Great Forepaugh and Sells Brothers Shows United have just added to their zoological collection a whole Arctic menagerie, in the ferocious and fearsome shape of ten Polar bears. Heretofore a 'ingle specimen—big or little of this solitary and untamable species has been carded as among the rarest of features. The cost and trouble involved in collecting ten of these only North Pole discoverers—a greater number than even any Arctic explorer ever saw together at one time—would make an ioe trust magnate gasp and even perspire. They are a feature and the biggest kind of a one No doubt about that.

Hartford City Club Defeated at Geneva Mose Krohne a Favorite with Geneva Fans.—A Race at the Park Club August 3. — (Special Correspondence ) Geneva. Ind., July 27—There I have l>een several very pretty games of ball played on the Gene* ' va Park club grounds this season, and there have been some very fast ones, too, but none of them have eclipsed the game played Wednesday between the Hartford City team and the Geneva team.' The game resulted in a score of four to three, in favor of Geneva, was replete with splendid playa on both sides, and the tans were treated to a really exciting and a very clean game. Perhaps the play that pleased the fans the most was when Kimball took the stick and con nected with the sphere for a two bagger in the sixth inning. All bases were full and three men made home. Biersdorfer was in tine shape and struck out eleven men, which, considering the Hartford meh's reputation for batting, was splendid. The visitors were all ball players, and it was no cinch to win the game, but when a team goes up against Geneva they have to play ball. The attendance was very good for a week day game. Score by innings 181466780 RHE ER H C—o 010001013240 0 G’va—o 0000031 X 488 4 Batteries—Howell and Quinn; Biersdorfer, Mclntyre. Umpire Briggs. Time—l:3o. Struck out by Biersdorfer 11; by Howell 8. Some twenty people from Decatur attended the game here Wednesday, and got theirs in the way of roasts. The only man from Decatur who has made good with the Geneva tans is Mose Krohne—Mose makes good every place—47B! The crowd that came yesterday was not a betting crowd and lucky for them ( that they were not, for there were takers for <75 to 4100 waiting for ! them, i A race that is attracting no little interest has been arranged to be i pulled oft at the Park club track on August 3rd, at which time the horses owned by Botkin and ; Swigart will be run to determine which is the better. The Swigart horse took first money on the Fourth, but the admirers of the Botkin horse declare that the latter can beat it, and to decide the • question the race has been arranged. w——
