Ail Over Northern and Central Illi nois There Is Much Suffering and the People Stand Ready to Raid All Passing; Coal Trains.

The coal famine continues acute in near ly every city and town in the Unit States. There is no prospect of immediate re lief by an increase of the supply. In nearly every town along the railways of Illinois the people are prepared to raid. every passing coal train. In all the eastern cities the supply it totally inadequate to the demand and prices increase.

Congress may remove the duty on coal, but such action is not expected to bring immediate relief. In Chicago the fuel famine is a serious menace to life. Two hundred thousand cases of sickness are attributed to this cause. The workhouse board of Toledo, has released all prisoners held for stealing coal, and will recognise no prosecutiona for such offenses during the fuel famine. Special to tie PcaK-Wspatrt.

NEW TOBK, Jan. 13. President Oliphant of the Delaware Hudson railroad today endeared himself to suffering humanity by giving out the following interview: "I don't feel sorry for the misguided workmen who were throwing in money last i VIMXJF IU Ji.U now that their folly is cosdr-S-thfur-thf dollars and -much "hardship to their families. "John Mitchell boasted that he had got more money from the pocr of New York than from anyone else. "If that is so it begins to look like a just retribution that the people who did most to prolong the strike should be the chief sufferers.

I am sorrv for the roor tonle this city who did not contribute to the strikers' fund. They certainly are not responsible for the famine prloes which they have to For the sake' of thousands of our citizens who were not in sympathy with the strikers we are going to do our best to keep down the price of coal." Presidents of the coal roads are expected at the City Hall today to hear the mayor talk about the situation In this city. Ne beneficial results are expected. Meanwhile it requires a physician's pre scription and H5 to $20 to obtain a ton of coal. A Brooklyn dealer sprung the pre script ion gam in order to sell his coal where most needed.

Oliphant is president of one of the coal roads, and was a prominent factor tn hold ing out against President Roosevelt's plan of arbitrating the coal strike. a MITCHELL TO THE MINERS.

Donn W. Farris, a fortune In Old Mexico, won for him a bride yesterday. la one year during his strenuous pursuit of fortune he increased his capital from to $130,000, yet that coup in his estimation pales into insign: Seance compared to his achievement of yesterday, when he married the woman whose image was always before him, but who dil not know until recently of the affection she had Inspired. Farris made a 12-year -old girl, a daughter of the woman he. sought, his co-conspirator, and the time came to test the efficacy of his strategy he won.

Six years ago he was at Excelsior Springs, to recover from an attack of malaria. At the Misjouri spa at the time were Mrs. Alice Nye and her little dauarhtor, Jessie. One fine Sunday Mlxa Jessie was sitting on a tench reading a Sunday school papr when a jovial middle-aged man sat down on the othnr end of the bench. Ha' had always been fond of children, and to a man who had been In Mexico a large part of life, the sight of a little American girl reading a Sunday-school publication brought back ma.iv memories.

A bootblack wanted to shine the man's shoes. "No, I don't believe in that sort work on Sunday," said the man. The little girl looked up. "You don't, either, Jo you?" he asked. "No.

I don't," she anvvered. Thus began an acquaintance that soon became a friendship. MET HER. MOTHER. The man.

who was Farris. met the little girl's mother and decided he liked her even better than the little girl, but he was much more afraid to tel: her so He went back to Mexico and Mrs. Nye and her daughter returned to their home In St. Louis. One day the little girl received a letter from Farris in Mexico.

The correspondence was kept up for five years, and last spring Farris responded promptly to an Invitation sent him by the girl and her mother to make them a visit. His former Impressions of the moiher were confirmed during this visit, and he asked Mrs. Nye to become his wife. She consented, and the little girl, who by this time had grown into a young woman, got so many boxes of candy and gloves, for Farris believes he would not have won without her aid. Farris was born In Richmond, Mo.

His father a lawyer, and afterward a captain in the ConCederat army. At the age of aftfr having resolved a Wfr education than most youths at that age. Donn Frris ran away from home. He decided to become a miner. At first he worked in Ariton.i.

and New Mexico. At the time Gerorlmo's band was committing its depredations he often carried a rifle with him at his work. UHle by little he drifted down into Old Mexico. While on the way friend was stricken with smallpox. Farris caught the disease by nursing his comrade.

A bandit wha Did f.ed from Texas, John Sillman. Farris and prevented his face from being dlsugured by the disease. I For this service Farris gave him every dollar he had, and began life all over again. Thsn he began to make money. He obtained contracts which in one year retted him JITO.OOC.

John Davis, ward of the Mississippi river, with his wife Annie, are temporarily located in a diminutive tent on the river bank one mile north of Jefferson Barracks.

For three wintery months they have lived and traveled In an open skiff on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. They voyaged 500 miles with only a dog tent to protect them from the elements and the thin walls of their skiff to save them from the water. The ice floes, now piled almost to their tent door and the crouching masses of Ice In the river beyond, demonstrate the dangers they endured and escaped. They have faced exposure and many perils of the water unscathed. During the last two weeks of their river Journey.

Vhich terminated in St. Louis 1 Wednesday, they led a polar life, fighting the icebergs of the Mississippi. The couple left Quincy, 111., Dec. 27, and reached St. Louis last Wednesday.

They floated with the ice all the way. Net an hour was without peril. At times they were encompassed with ice. like the Fram in Arctic seas. The remedy was to float and wait for the Ice pack to break.

Skiff Was Thrown Out of the Water. They were caught In a grinding jam in Quincy bay and their skiff, thrown out of the water, lodged on a huge Ice cake. The situation was perilous, to attempt to move the boat was still more dangerous. These hardy foiks waited for the Ice cake to b'eak, which it did, and they were safe. After that they came with the ice fleet to St.

Louis, the man pulling an oar when necessary, the woman warding danderous ice cakes from the skiff with a pole. "Little Oklahoma," the shanty boat settlement, at the foot of Angelrodt street, could not afford them a harbor when they reached St. Lcuis on account of the scarcity of fuel. So they floated beyond the city limits and made harbor in a cliff sheltered cove, where a winter's sup- of wood has been pileir by last spring's reshet. Davis is a woodman.

His practiced hand and two-tltted ax renders him Independent of the coal baron. He and his wife are comfortable In a tent general health Is good, and only one baby has died since the founding of Taylor City. That one was sick before It came to the settlement, according to Inspector Sweeney. Besides Louisiana O'Leary, the daughter of Lawrence O'Leary, there were two other children born on the World's Fair grounds, the last one the son of Frank and Liza Williams, only four weeks ago. The third baby, a girl, dwells no more in Taylor City, her parents having returned to Arkansas three weeks ago.

So constantly changes the population of Taylor City. WILL BE WARMER TOMORROW Game of Temperature Progression Will Go Merrily Up Toward the Freezing Point.

Two Children Hr.ve Been Born on the Site Since Advent of Louisiana O'Leary All Have Plenty to Eat. "Tent A pavilion or movable a roll of lint." "Shanty A rude hut." Thus, two forni3 of human domiciles, more frequently found In fiction than in reality, are described by the greatest of lexicographers. And modern dwellers in well-built brick houc with more or less modern accommodations, according to the occupant's purse, are undoubtedly inclined to shudder at the bare thought of hibernating in such "movable lodges" or "rude hutg," flimsy and unsubstantial structures.

This community appearing so suddenly on the map of Missouri that no cartographer has taken occasion to mark it and destined to vanish so soon that he may never do so has nevertheless a euphonious name, Taylor City." It was born with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, and will die a few months before its gigantic contemporary. HAVE ROUGHED II BEFORE. As a rule, the men and women of Taylor Clry axe no novices In regard to camp life.

Many of the men having started the route of a newly planned railroad with their pickaxes and spades. it from camp to camp with their tents and cooking ulennile. often accompanied by their wives and chilfiren. At all nearly small places the number of Inhabitants is unknown and but indefinitely guessed at.

However, Taylor City has had a census by the sanitary department of the creat neighbor-city. St. Louis. The officials of the worlds emergency hospital luep tne record of that census, taken Dec. 3 last, and repeated Jan.

HUTS KEEP OUT COLD. The dwellings of these modern nomads are not always Inadequate to the severity of the senson. The shanty on the east border of Taylor City, now a storehouse for the landscape department, is a 12x14-feet structure, built of 1-inch pine planks, and covered outside with tar paper.

The roof is likewise covered, slanting from 14 to 12 feet above the pirewood floor. Thai shanty was formerly ued as a boarding house and is kept comfortably warm by a wood stove of moderate dimensions. Next to it and a few feet north stands a similar structure, used for drawing purposes bv the same department. 'The Bray. Maloney Sullivan Construction ks well as other firms that em ploy the grading workers, have buiit big tents to shelter their mules, ana smaller ones for their men.

Ona of these canvas-covered stables contains 86 mule. Nearby la a 12xl4-foot shanty, covered with can vas and tarred paper, the cosy abode of two stablemen. Further west, north of the tooUhed. with the appropriate Inscription, "Keep out or go in and get it." one sees the big kitchen ana aiuing room, presiuKu over uy xurs. Sadie Herron, a lively young woman, who takes care of the bodily comfort of 80 hungry- grading workmen, feeding them In a huge tent adjacent to the kitchen shanty, on two long trestle tables, running the r.s-th of hoth walls.

Her only "help" are "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and she preparea the food in her modest culinary sanctum upon an ancient eight-hole range. Here coffee, such as some nothers never knew how to make, bubbles In a great wash boiler. She has to refill that receptacle twice at each menl. She and a cook for a rival grading contractor are hired inoie '1 r-vd by the month. MEN IN TIERS OF THREE.

The men who do not live with their families sleep In big shanties, on bunks, formerly In two tiers above each other but lately In three. EKCh one of these lodging-house shanties contains fifty or sixty men. There are extra tents for foremen, harness makers and stablemen. The men earn 20 cents an hour, on an average of nine hcurs' work. The married men live in tents and shanties of their own make, or at least mad at their own expense.

A fair specimen of a comfortable dwelling of the first kind Is the tent of one Williams, late cltlxen of linois. living with his wife and two little children in a csy. if not styiUh, "pavilion" about the hape and sixe of a soldier's tent containing a cooking stove, a small but active heating stove, the pipe protruding through the middle of the tent roof, three primitive but warm beds, besides tab'es, chairs and cooking utensils of, the latest patterns. They ke. a boarder for ti a week.

Willi tm Baker lives with his wife and a visiting sister In a wooden shanty, 12x12 feet, covered outside witit tar paper and soon to be wallpapered i.nskie.

They are so close to nature in their primitive mode of life that privation Is not in their lexicon. Last October they fitted the skiff up at Kansas City and floated south between the caving banks of the treacherous Missouri. When they reached the Mississippi river Davis decided to go north. He rowed against the current and reached Canton, Nov. 11.

He worked there awhile, made some "flour end coffee money" and then started South again. Two days after Christmas he was caught in the ice pack at Quincy, and, undaunted by his narrow escape, came south with the Ice. He is so accustomed to danger that he cannot recall any adventures worth the telling that befell him on the lourney. But one who stands on the river bank watching the grinding floes colliding in the swirling river current can imagine the peril of a little skiff caught in that chaos of ice.
