+ Acute Shortage of Coal. ; Urbana, July 28. --The mine strike has brought an acute shortage of coal to Urbana and Champaign. Few fam-- llies have their winter's supply in and ' denlers' supplies are exhausted. The Urbana and Champaign Railway, Gas **-- ang Ejectric company can operate for -- --=~two--weeks on the present suppiy.--Thé shutdown of the University--of Ilinois power station has thrown a heavy load on the local gas and electric company which must soon be relieved. T. O. Henderson, assistant superintendent of the 'University of lIllinois buildings states the University can operate until the middle of October with the pres ent supply. The university started buying coal on the open market when conditJoB# became unsettled, and this policy 18 said to have caused the pres ent shortage. Last year the univer sity saved $25,000 buying on the opef market. Threshers bave been paying $0 to $10 a ton for coal wherever they can get any. A price of from $8.50 to $10 a ton is expected for local con-- sumers. iDistrict, Private and State Le Rights Disagree on the Matter of Treasurers Making Accounts Public.
