Hoyd County News : Anoka has suffered more or loss the past week with a coal famine. Some have tried | to burn slack. Krottor's , however , got in a car of coal Thursday night and as the weather has moderated this will probably satisfy the demand until a new supply Is received. There J is a genera ! suspicion that the rail roads and mine owners scheme this shortage every winter for speculative purposes. The local dealers have had their orders In for coal for months. If God so loved the world that Ho gave His only begotten Son , we will not believe that lie held the fuel back for Hner and the likes of him that the multitude might shiver and freeze and sicken and die. The mine owners make a serf of the miners and coupled with freight rates , those who are com pelled to purchase this fuel are Im poverished. No people who permit this are capable of self-government , nor can they lay claim to a fair state of civilization. Long Pine Not Quarantined. Long Pine Journal : We received a telephone call from Johnstown last Wednesday asking if Long Pinn was quarantined. It is certainly not ; as there are only two cases of scarlet fever in the town and every pre caution is being taken to prevent the disease spreading. As soon as the first case became known the schools were closed and all public gatherings forbidden. The germs were no doubt carried to Long Pine from Clmdron as the first case is traced directly from the railroad. We are glad to see the ollicors of our town and the citizens in general co-operating with eacli other to prevent the disease spreading. It will be much safer for us to use some precaution now , as "an ounce of preventive is worth a pound of cure. " Winner Is Booming. Winner , S. D. , Jan. 24.

The will of the ate Mathias Strasburgor , prohibiting ils son , Alfred , from sharing In the estate if he does not finish college and f he marries before ho is 30 , is not so hard on the young man as it seems for his mother said today that she be loved in early marriages. "Tho will provides that my son must lave the consent of the executors if he ; lcsires to marry before he is 30 , " said Mrs. Strasburger. "I think young men should marry early and If my son has i girl in view I will do the best I can to get the consent of the executors so that he will not lose his share in the estate. " "If I wanted to marry a girl , " young Mr. Strasburger said , "I wouldn't let the money stand betwen us. It is too personal a question to answer whether I have the girl In sight.

Newport Republican : The coal fa mine may not have arrived at Newport on schedule time , but It got here Just the same. With several cars of coal delayed In transit for weeks , or con fiscated by the railroad , the Raines Lumber company is without any coal but hard coal In its sheds today. The situation at other points where the famine was beginning to pinch has been relieved and the railroads say they are giving preference to coal over freight. Accordingly , the shortage hero should not last long enough to cause great Inconvenience. In thlf and other states whore there is a shortage the railroads are receiving the blame. The belief that they properly porly should is strengthened by the report of the Geological Survey show ing an over production of coal In 1909. Quivey to Leave Pierce. Pierce , Neb. , Jan. 24. W. W.

A now universal language has made Its appearance In Now York. It is called "Ido" and IB hacked by Prof. Otto Jcsperson of the University of Copenhagen as superior In many respect to Volapuk , Esperanto and other candidates for the position of univei3nl language.
