Th. mrk Diamond, the organ of the Chi
cago eoal Intereats, In Ita review of the
western coal trade atatea that conditions
elncs the advent of the month of July have
.kg.ii very little change. Anthracite con
iinuea to be in very active demand at all
points, with chief attention being paid to
.11 rail orders at present, including the
.ak cloelng with July i6. Dock territory
la fairly well supplied with coal, although
tt Is reported that ahlppers are short of
some particular sliea. There la a manlfeat
-v....... rhMtmit. accompanied by a
scarcity of large and small egg. In .Chi
cag6 territory the shortage la confined al
most entirely to large and email egg. and
sealers are Insistent that their orders for
this coal shall be supplied as speedily as
Possible.
In the bituminous trade the market Is
some weaker at the close of the week, more
so than at any time during the present
month. This was expected, however, and
la causing no great amount of concern
among the operators and shippers. In the
north and west the farmers are engaged
with their harvesting or are preparing for
It, whloh prevents their being much of a
factor In the trade. In the larger cities In
the western territory there Is very little de
mand for bituminous coal at this time of
the year from consumers except for steam
purposes. Householders are generally away
cn vacations of 'are devoting their attention
to laying in stocks of anthracite.
Light Anthracite Trade.
The leading feature of the anthracite
market la the quiet demand from consum
ers. Retailers report that new business com
ing forward to them Is much lighter than
It had been at any time since the new year
opened. Those who generally buy coal
early have already laid tn their stock,
which Is evident from the fact that of a
total production of 38,000,000 tons In the
United States since January 1 none practle.
ally remains In either the producers' or
shippers' hands. Authentlo reports ob
talned by the Black Diamond are to the ef-
feet that none of the leading producers
hare a pound of anthracite In stock outside
the accumulation of steam sixes, which ha
not been absorbed and never Is r this time
of the year. The Impression has obtained
In some quarters that the shortage of the
supply during the spring months was ac
counted for from the fact that the coa
companies were storing coal. The statistics
of shipments from Buffalo, receipts at Chi'
cago, Milwaukee and Duluth and the ton
nage which has moved through the Soo
canal, all disprove this statement. They
are heavier than at any previous year and
In some Instances the percentage of move
roent at these points Is nearly double the
normal movement.
In spite of the comparatively quiet eon
dltlon of the retail trade, the demand
from shippers of anthracite eoal continues
to be much more active than usual. Lead
Ing Chicago shippers say at the close of
the week that the orders which they have
already booked will carry them through
the month of July, If they receive no more
new business. It Is said In some quarters
also, that the tonnage of lake ooal riot.
Ing forward the past ten days has not
been quite as heavy as It was, owing to
the disarrangement of rates at Buffalo. The
general situation In anthracite throughout
the west Is evidenced by the fact that not
one of the large companies has Ita travel
Ing representatives out continually. Biles
men go out occasionally for a day or two
to adjust local differences, but aa yet ni
systematic effort Is being made to solicit
trade, and It Is possible that none will be
made this month.
Local gltaatloa.
The coal situation In Omaha Is naturally
much governed by the conditions prevail
Ing at Chicago so far aa regards an
thraolte eoal. But Omaha Is relatively In.
dependent of the eaat In the matter of
bituminous coal and steam coal. Mr. Tat
terson of the Nebraska Fuel company said
last evening that there waa a brisk de
mand for anthracite from local consumers
and that there was some little difficulty In
obtaining all that was asked for, but that
theae conditions were sure to ease up In
the near future. He waa not looking for
any aharp advance In anthracite. Con
aumers were laying In their store and th
demand was very brisk.
S3. E. Howell waa more optimistic and
did not look for any shortage of anthracite,
lie waa able to obtain all for which
had a call except the small slier The an.
thraclte delivered here Is Invariably rail
ooal. Very little dock coal Is received here
at all He did not look for any disturbance
of the coal market this season. Mr. Howell,
however, waa of the opinion that there
might be some delay tn filling orders for
bituminous coal from the west aa rapidly
as consumers would desire because of the
shortage of cars and the disarrangement
growing out of the recent railway strikes
and the disaster at the Hnnna mines. Most
of the better grade of bituminous coal used
In Omaha la what is known aa the Union
Paclflo cools, and the Sheridan coal, There
la an abundance of steam coals, and these
are largely obtained from the Cherokee,
Kanaas, district The same Is true of the
Iowa and Missouri coals and no scarcl'y
of these need lie at all apprehended. "In
fact," said Mr. Howell, "the coal condi
tions for Omaha are very encouraging and
X do not look for any disturbance In prices
nor scarcity of supply In either hard or
soft coa la."

Additional ImproTements.
WILL LAY THREE NEW RAILROAD TRACKS
Company Will Also Part L Street and
Drain the Posd Near Boyd and
L Streets Goaalp of the
Magic City.
Within a few days the Union Stock
Tarda company will commence making
more Improvements to Its new western di
vision, which Is Just about completed. The
deep cut near the brickyard Is to be
widened 200 feet and three additional tracks
laid. At the present time only one track
enters the cut at this place. With four
tracks connecting directly with the Belt
line the big runs of stock destined for the
western division of the yards can be
handled with little or no delay. When
these three additional tracks are laid across
L street the stock yards company will pave
Li street for a distance of about 150 feet.
This paving will be done In order to pro
tect the tracks.
Btoel for the tracks has already been or
dered by General Manager Kenyon and the
grading will be commenced just as soon as
Engineer King can complete his arrange
ments.
In addition to this work the big pond on
the west side of Boyd street and north of
L street Is to be drained. The laying of
tracks and the filling In done by the Bur
lington caused a pond of water to form
about 700 feet in length and about 200 feet
In width. For ten days or more Council'
man Broderlck has been after the Burling.
ton people and the stock yarda company
to drain the pond. Yesterday City En
gineer Beal, Chief Engineer King of the
stock yarda company and Councilman
Broderlck looked over the pond and the
ground in the vicinity. At the conclusion
of the Inspection Engineer King agreed to
drain the pond. About one carload of pipe
will be needed for this work and an order
for this was sent Immediately upon Mr.
King s return to his onlee.
With the draining of the pond It Is ex-
peciea mat, complaints about stagnant
water will cease. More filling In will pos-
sioiy ne aone and It will not be a great
while before nearly all of that low ground
west or Boyd street will be used for track
age purposes.

Ileachke Resumes Work.
W. G. Reschke opened his meat market
yesterday Just as if nothing had happened,
but he was not In the best of humor. When
newspaper men called to make Inquiries
about the condition of his son Paul,
Reschke closed up like a clam and declined
to talk about the affair. Paul Reschke
remained at his home, 1334 North Twenty-
sixth street, all day nursing hla wounds.
It Is thought that no serious results will
follow the stabbing and cutting unlets
blood poison should set In. No complaint
has been filed In police court against
Reschke and, from this It Is Inferred tht
Reschke has patched up affairs with his
family.

she wrote the War'offlce at Washington to
find out. A reply was received ln due time
which stated that Martin had met his
fate. Not caring to live a life of elngla
blessedness Mrs. Martin took to herself
another husband ln the person of James
Ryan, who la a porter ln the employ of
Henry Osthoff. They set up housekeeping
at 606 North Sixteenth street and every-
thing seemed to be moving along nicely
and all Indications pointed to a long and
happy married life.
Some time ago Martin returned. He had
not been killed at all, and It seems was
simply playing possum. About one week
ago the police received a telephone call
to visit the Ryan home for the purpose
of arresting someone and these calls have
been coming almost nightly since. First
from Ryan and then from Martin and be-
tween times from the wife of both. Ryan
made up his mind some days ago that the
affections of his wife had reverted to her
first love and that he was no longer In
the game. He packed two grips and to
make an unostentatious exit threw them
out a back window. Having no oeiter
place handy to go he took up his real-
dence on the back porch of a neighbor
where he deposited the grips. Now comes
the neighbor and files a complaint wlthtPect mil. tne uruia inn: there are two at

ask for sidewalks, for lights, for grading
upon streets, for street car service, for
water service, and similar conveniences,
and at the present time none of the clubs
have secured enough of these things to
warrant them ln turning their attention to
other Improvements of a more attractive
nature. Last winter the North omana ciuo
organised a woman's auxiliary, which was
to take up the matter of parking streets
and laying out flower gardens, but the
project has not been pushed actively, al
though some of the members have given
proof of what may be done in tnis direc
tion. "Why They fnlte.
t'n to the present time the clubs have
worked along the line of the survival of
the fittest, and some of the sessions of the
members of the city eouncll in eomm.uee
of the whole and some sessions oi tne
school board have been enlivened by the
presence of representatives of different
clubs asking for things, one oi wmrn mum
be granted by the refusal of the other. It
was this conflicting Interest, which some
times caused both clubs to lose what they
desired, that occasioned the meeting last
Tuesday night. The form of the organisa
tion la being prepared by a committee rep-
resenting five different clubs, and the re
nnrt will be made at another meeting.
The majority of those present at the first
meeting were ln favor of making the
central club a delegate body ln which all
rlnba should have repreaentatlon. and when
any club had a special requeat to maae
for extensive Improvement which would be
likely to conflict with the desires of
another club the matter would be brought
before the central body for cotialderatlon
The representatives of all of the clubs are
then to decide which of the propoaed Im
provements Is the most Important, or win
be of the greatest benefit to the entire city,
and this demr.nd Is to receive the united
support of all of the clubs until It has been
secured. It may also discuss ana recom
mend to the council end park board Im
provements, which, while not within Ihe
Jurisdiction of any one club, will be of
Interest to all of the rltliens or to those or
a particular district, but Its chief aim will
be to keep down friction between the cbjbs
and to secure co-operation.
Strong Voting; I'owcr,
It
Is estimated that the clubs now In
existence in the city have n total member
ship from l.&iO to 2.2on, with a probable
voting membership of IK) per cent of lh:t
amount, as none of the clubs admit minors
and hut few admit women. While the Idea
of the central body Is to keep out of party
politics, there arc n number of the mem
bers who declare that the new central club
will take nn active Interest In municipal
politics for the purpose of securing an
economical and wise administration of the
city's business and tbnt municipal polltl
dsns will have a new power to deal with
before the next election.
