Woman in Falls City Has Forgotten Name Kalis City, Neb.. Dec. —(Special 1 elegram.)—Police of Chicago, Sioux City and Council Bluffs were asked today by Chief of Police Marts to aid In identifying a woman suffering from amnesia who was found wander ing at the Missouri Pacific passenger station here last night. The woman, about to years old. told police that she could not remember her name or h*r address, but thought that she was Anna Mills. Later she said that her name might he Belle Walker when letters addressed to that person were found in her possession. This clue led Chief Marts to com municate with the police of the above mentioned oities. The woman was found wandering along the railroad track between Au burn and Howe and a Bed Cross nurse put her on a train to Falls City, where she was discovered in a dazed condition. Police believe that her lapse of memory is only temporary, probably due to a blow, as she repeatedly com plains of pains in the hack of her head.

Coal Price Cut Not Anticipated Illinois Coal $1.50 Higher Here Than Last Year, Due to Strike. No mu' i d reduction in the prico of ceil in Omaha is imminent, dealers said yesterday, though a few dealers handling coal from tho Ziegler mine.! in Franklin county, Illinois, have cut tho price from $14 to $12.50. This brings the prico practically lo what it was last year." said Glenn Smith, sales manager of tho Peoples Coal company. He deelinod to give a reason for Hie reduction In price. The price of Franklin county coal is $13.50 a ton. compared with $12 last year. This Is due to tho coal strike. lh«j dealers say. and- every, cent of increase has bet u taken by tho mine operators, who added $1.50 a ton to tho price at the mine. Central district eoal is $11.60 this year,' compared with $10.50 last year. Ono dealer who has not reduced his price, expressed the belief that overstocking in anticipation of a shortage duo to the coal strike and the mild weather of November com bined to leave heavy stocks of coal in the hands of some dealers. "Competition in tho coal business is vet y*> keen.” said tho representative of one large company.
