JJow on iiti return he finds the market glutted with coal of all sorts at rational figures, and bin in vestment is yet on his hands and probably available at a bargain. Wil! Know Today There was very general interest all over the city yesterday as to just what the friends of local option here about intended to do, and it was ex pected the four petitions for pre cincts 2, 3, 4 and 5 would be filed by 5 o'clock last evening. But they have until the close of business today to file, and arc still debating the limits that shall be subjected to the vote. t is probable that precincts 4 and 5 will be abandoned aijd the contest nar rowed to 2 and 3, in order to meet, that far at least, the wishes of the business people who have protested against the submission of any of the petitions at this time, and to balance ihe scone of 'operations to the field covered by those who desire to open up precincts 6 and 7.

A despatch to the Tribune from Mattoon, 111., says: In accordance with his statement, made four weeks before the local op tion election which was held on April 7, that, he 'would resign if Mattoon cut out its nineteen saloons, Mayor Lewis L. Lehman tendered his resig nation at the meeting of the city council last night and it was ac cepted. . In his statement Mayor Lehman took the stand without the $19,000 in revenue derived from the saloon licenses the finances' -of the city would be so impaired that it would be, im possible to carry out various public imorovements .and, inasmuch as he had accepted the nomination and was elected by an overwhelming majority a vear affo on a platform .that called for improvements he. believed he could' not carry out the wishes of the people. The retiring mayor is tViMttrrfmiit thp. state as a IVUV-'U w financier. He is not friendly to sa toons but considered this an inoppor tune time for Mattoon to get rid of them. A special election will be, held to Choose his successor. ume m the last few weeks and some of them are said to be almost tragic ia their earnestness. The writers ar gue that the President is in the thick of his campagn for the establishment of complete government control over interstate commerce and other re forms; that it is irnpossibel to trans fer this work successfully to another since Mr. Roosevelt's personality is a powerful factor m achieving this suc cess; that the republican party can not afford to -nominate, any man who is not sure ot election; ami mai m- President is the only Republican who would be certain to defeat any other candidate. In all of his replies to such letters the President simply re minds his correspondents of his for mer declarations on the subject ana reiterates that his position is unchanged. THE PRESIDENT'S MAIL. Receives Hundreds of Letters Daily Urging Him for Nomination. WASHINGTON, April 30.-That between 300 and 400 letters are re ceived daily at the White House urging President Roosevelt to run again is asserted on good authority. These letters come from all parts of the country, it is said, from members of all political parties and in, them various arguments are used by the writers to induce Mr. Roosevelt to again accept a nomination.
