BIG DEMAND FOR HARD COAL Big Companies' Stocks Should be Pilling Up for Winter, But Are Depleted • A despatch from Winnipeg says: Reports from the Pennsylvania an- thracite field show that the demand, in spite of every effort to avoid a shortage, is likely to be overwhelm- ing on account of a mass of belated orders accumulated during the strike period of the spring. Stocks of the big coal conapaniesthrough- eut the country, which at the pre- sent time should be filling up for winter demands, are in many cases being abeolutely depleted. Prices are accordingly rising in Winnipeg. Pennsylvania hand coal has gone up from ten and a half to eleven dol- lars a ton. Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan are dependent on this supply, though further west it comes into competition with hard coal feom Crow's West, The shoetage can be judged of by the following figures of shipments from Pennsylvania: April, 1911, 5,- 804,915 tons; April, 1912, 266,625 tons; May, 1911, 6,417,362 tons; May, 1912, 1,429,457 tons. First seven months, 1911, 32,113,648 tons; same period, 1912, 22,382,132 tons. 1VIttch el the Canadian prairie west is dependent for its fuel sup- plies on outside sources, and these figures present an alarming pros- pect. Local coal dealers are anti- cipating a further rise in prices. • TYPHOID EPIDEMIC OVER. Ottawa's Medical Officer Issues Re- • assuring Message. A despatch from Ottawa says: Dr. W. T. Shirreff, Medical Officer of Health, on Friday night issued a most reassuring message to the citi- zens of the capital, informing them that the typhoid epidemic had run its course and that he city water was now fit for drinking. Bacterio- logical tests of the water supply for the past five weeks show conclu- sively that it is now free fermi all contamination and fit for consunms tion without boiling or otherwise treating it. "The cause -tine rea- on typhoid has now been re- moved," he states, "and every pre- caution has been taken to protect the all -steel intake pipe, *hich is now being used exclueively." SMALLPDX DI MONTREAL. Thirteen Patients are Now in the Hospital. A despatch from Montreal says: With thirteen smallpox patients in the Isolation Hospital, and ima,ny houses disinfected and under super- vision, there has developed in the city the nucleus of a smallpox scare. No fewer than we cases have come in th's week. Eight were reported last week. The majorite of these are from three families, all of whom obtained the infection at Les Ebou- lements, on the St. Lawrence be- low Quebec. The Provincial au- thoritiet did not know that there was smallpox there until the cases were discovered in Montreal and the infection was traced back. FAMOUS PAINTINGS. This Year's Display at the C. N. E. In Advance of Other Years. The list of paintings coming from Europe for this year's Canadian National Exhibition fairly bristles with famous names. There are forty paintings loaned by the French Government, while such names as Lord Leighton, Sir John Millais Orpen, etc., make the Brit- ish collection even more interesting than usual.

MENINGITIS KILLS HORSES. Four Valuable Horses Die From Drinking Polluted Water. A despatch from Halifax, N. 5., says: Four valuable racing horses are dead at Middleton from cere- bro -spinal meningitis. The epide- mic was precipitated by the con- tinued rains washing the contami- nations of an extended area into the well on the race track grounds, STRIKE OF SHIPS' OFFICERS Mercantile Marine of Great Britain is Seething • With Discontent A despatch from London, Eng- land. says: The culminating strike of the series which has crippled the British carrying business during the pest two years is threatened by the ofncers of the mercantile mar- ine. The movement began on Thursday, when the newly -formed 'inion of shipmasters and mate.s tried to prevent the Canacha,n Pa,m- fic liner Mount Royal from sailing. The • Chief Officer was dismissed, and the union demanded his ram - statement. A substitute was ob- tained by the company, however, a,nd the vessel left port. The offi- cers are well organized; they are violently discontented, and they propose to put forward before the end of the year what they consider their legitimate demaeds, Failure to meet these on the part • of the ship -owners will, they say, be met by a strike, "which may etarve the nation." Inadequate salaries is the fore- most count in the indictment against the -companies. Masters of some of the largest passenger ships are paid no more than $2,000 a year, and most of them have fami- lies ashore to maintain. Entire de- nial of vacations, eeven days work weekly, with long hours while in port as well as at sea. and the lia- bility to loss of certificates through one error of judgment, are eome of the hardships being discussed. Other recent strikes have failed, largely be -cause the strikers were unskilled laborers whose places cold be filled. The officers of ships, on the other hand, are a spe- cial class, and a general strike by them would leave the owners al- most helpless. ATTEMPT TO WRECK A TRAIN Section Man Discovered That Spikes and Angle- • Bars Had Been Removed A despatch from Winnipeg says: The. discovery of a deliberate at. tempt to wreck Ca,nedisea Pacific passenger train No, 108 on the Stonewall branch at a point two miles south af Komane was made by a sectienrnan early op Friday morning. The train is due in Win- nipeg at 8 a.m., and between 6 and 7 o'clock it was discovered that spikes had been extracted and angle bars pulled out until they stretched outside the ties. Marks indicated that men had beeu working on the wreaking *Ala soma hours, and the displaced materiel had all been car- ried away, The wrecking crew has been unable to clismener either spikes or bele. The sectionma,n went north to, the nearest wire point and stopped the south -bound train, If this line had not been re- gularly patrolled as usual early Fri - den morning before trains go over it a, disastrous accident would have resulted, Chief Bell of the Cana- dian Pacific Police is working en the ground with a body of men, and it is hoped that the wreckers will be sounded BRAMWELL BOOTH.

A Viennese (Austria) clerk named limes, who shot ,his wife dead in a railway carriage and then endea- vored to eommit suicide, haa just been acquitted by a, jury at Leooben. He was found guilty. however, of carrying a revolver without license, and had to pay a fine of $1.87 be- fore being released. There was no denial of the facts, The matt had clelilaerately ehot his wife and then tureed the weapon upon himself, inflicting a 'slight flesh wound, whieh, however, caused him to be unconscious until the train reached a ,station and the police came mad arrested hire. Herr Haas pleaded, nevertheless, that his wife was in the 13,st 'stages of consumption, anal that he had shot her because her sufferings had made him frantic. Witnesses, including her physi- cian, testified that this was so and also that the pair had lived in per- fect harmony. Two doctors called by the nroseoution deposed that the depression caused by the illness of his wife was sufficient to make Haat not responsible for hia act. There- upon the jury returned the verdict of not guilty, but insisted that he should be punished for carrying it revolver without a lieense' since he had himself admitted thatwhen he purchased the weapon he had no idea, to what use he woe to put it, and therefore at that time must have been perfectly sane. TWO DOLLAR BILLS POPULAR. Marked linerease in Circulation of Small Notes. A despatch from Ottawa says: Return:3 received by the Finance Department show that the circula- tion of small notes is substantially larger than it was last summer. Comparing the circulation of July 31, 1912, with that of July 31, 1911, there is an advance in one dollar notes of approximately $500,000, in two dollar notes of approximately $800,000, in four dollar notes of over $360,000; or in all of between $1,- 600,000 a,nd $1,700,000. In addition there is the additional circulation of the new five dollar note, which at the end of July was $6,078,000; this is practically balanced by the de- creased use of large notes, which are usedf exclusively by banks, Iu the three -weeks of August which have elapsed the circulation of fives has increased eta approximate- ly $8,250,000. COBBLER GETS A FORTUNE, Australian Uncle Wills Farm to St. Kitts Man—Another Windfall.

Dr. Gest= Odin, a Paris, France, phyeicittn, announces that he has diecovered the microbe of cancer and that he has succeeded in iso- lating and cultivating it. He also declared that, he has found an anti- cancer serum which, whether or not it leads to a permanent prevention or a cure, will show with certainty if the cancer parasite is present in the blood. Dr. Odin, who has been conduct- ing his research for a decade, claims that Professor Matruchot, of the faculty of science. and Profes- sor Lannois, of the faculty of medi- cine, at the 'University of Paris, have verified his discovery, which he asserts has definitely proved the correctness of the theory of the parasitical nature of cancer.
