The attention Of our readers is
called to the advertisement of The
Charter Oak Life Ins. Co, Of Hart
fo:d, Conn. This Company IS we'll
known as one Of the Oldest and most
substantial Institutions of It's kind in
the country. 1t has been most care
fully managed duringres s,~-.---
rcer of over twenty one years.
Though one of the most conserva-
tive companies in existence, it has
always been tho leader in matters OF
improvement in the science Of Life
Insurance, and has been the origina
tor Of many of the most valuable
features which. have been added to
the business during the past few
years. 1t now presents a new plan
which is highly commended by all
whose attention has been directed to
it. This plan, Deposit Insurance, cer-
lainly possesses some very marked
improvements over any other plan Of
insurance with which we are ac-
quainted. To those "who live long
and prosper it yields very hand.
some returns as an investment, and
to those who die it afftrds the benc-
fits of insurance at rates far below
those elsewhere offered on any short
endowments, for which this IS SUBJ
stitutc. But its chief and admirable
provision is for tho withdrawal Of
payments, by those who desire SO TO
do, at the end Of any policy year.
Tho amount allowed to be with
drawn IS definitely specified for each
year, and is very large proportion
OF the total payments to the COM
pany. We are confident that in ad-
vising our readers to investigate this
plan we arc doing them service
The company or its agents will al
ford full information of the plan to
any one addressing them on the sub
ject.

CoAL.Alu another colnmn, We rcpublish
a communication to the Citizen Of last week,
in regard to the finding Of coal in P,we-
shiek county, near the Tama county line.
There Is no reason to doub. the correctn ess
Of the reported finding Of coal. The only
plausible objection rests upon the reports
Of State Biologists that coal does not I'M
derlie the surface where this coal is report.
ed to be found.
The question naturally arises, if coal can
be found in Powcshiek county, where re.
ported, why may il not he found underly-
ing the whole, or portion OF Tama coun-
ty! It is true, the biologists have ruled us
out Of tbs cosl-bearing area.-but the same
scientific gentlemen ruled the portion Of
Poweshiek county, where the coal is res
ported to be found, cut also. There are
many people Of good sense, and some geo.
logical knowledge who have long been Of
the opinion that coal underlies Tama coun-
ty, and some money has been expended in
the search for the precious fuel. We will
be mistaken if this success Of the Powe>
shick explorers does not stimulate citizens
Of Tama county to more extended and per.
sistcnt search for coal, and We are not OF
those who will decry such search.

induced capltal to invest in their
lisnite, are most earnest in the oall for
more. Nowhere, whore popular At.
tention has been called to it, has
there been any dissent, any expires.
sion ofcarelessness or apathy. Towns
arc vying with each other to offer
superior inducements to the employ
ment Of manufacturing capital. There
is no earthly or reasonable reason
why Toledo should sit idle AID have
nothing to say or to do in this mat
ter. The labor Of her citizens to Sc.
cure Q railroad has never been inter.
mitted since the enterprise was first
undertaken. Now That the railroad
has been secured, there is SO much
the moro need that this town should
have manufacturing enterprises to
round off and perfect the develop
ment the railroad promises to give
her. Only few weeks ago the city
council of Muscatlnc passed az ordi.
nance in the following words;
Whereas, manufactures of any ind arc
Beneficial TO every city, town or communi-
ty, and no doubt would be of great impor-
lance to our city, therefore, be it resolved
that any person or persons, company or
corporation, who will erect or start q man
ufactory OF any kind with o capital of not
less than $4,000, within the corporate
limits Of the city Of Muscatine, said city OF
Muscatinc hereby agrees to exempt from all
municipal taxes all Of such manufactures
for and during the term of Eve years, from
and after the timc such manufactures are
commenced, and have given notice of snch
commencement to the proper authority.
Already, q bill is strongly urged
in our State Legislature to make tho
exemption co-extensive with the
State limits. Vermont has such law
now IN force, and many cities in 9th
er States have adopted the same rule.
Augusta, Maine, secured the estab-
lishment of Sprague's cotton mills,
worth one million dollars, by the
same process.
The question arises, is Toledo to
do nothing toward attracting manu-
featuring capital to this point?

DISCOVERY OF Coal IN Pow EsHIEK (ouS-
rY.-About one year and half ago sulphur
springs and other symptoms of coal were
discovered in and around what is called
Jones Grove; this grove Is situated about
three miles south Of Tama Co. line, and on
or near the road from Tama City to Brook
lyn, and about eleven miles from: Tama
City. Washington Graham and Il. Z. Smith
who had been prospecting for coal, decided
to make this their base Of operation and
they set up their derrick AMI at it they went
On board nailed to stalwart cak, by
the side Of their derrick visitors read in
large letters, "Coal or China by dad"
These men were situated, ar far rs capital
is concerned, about like the majority Of the
farmers in this vicinity. with good stock
Of poverty, industry and courage: the find
ing Of coal was a very uncertain thing, and
these men dared not neglect their farms,
consequently, for q year and half, they
have occupied all the time that could be
spared from their farms, in boring for coal.
Their tools were insufficient and they had
many things to bother and discourage them,
but they overcame every obstacle, and, last
Thursday they struck coal at the depth Of
LAT feet, and on Friday morning Esq.
Rheem, Uria Jones, and several other citi-
Iens, were summoned to test, with the OPP
orators. the thickness Of the vein, They
drilled four feet, Friday, and Saturday they
drilled three feet, and struck solid rock.
hut they were satisfied with seven feet
vein of coal, which appeared to be Of he
very best quality, and the voyage 10 China
was Observation-Disclosures have told us
that We have no coal in this section, ccnse-
auently capitalists would not risk ar ex-
pertinent. When we consider tue many
disadvantages, bad luck, and mishaps. they
have endured and overcome. with public
opinion operating against them. | think
they deserve great credit. With such firm
determination, coupled with energy. indus
try and patience, men seldom fail TO make
their point Messrs. Smith 3 Graham are
clever fellows, and for their sake and in
behalf Of this, the most lovely country the
dews Of heaven ever fell upon, and which
had but one fault, the lack Of coal, wish
them entire success. II. NJ
