In the early part of last winter l took severe cold
and shortly afterward distressing cough was added
to it. My friends did everyth ng they could for me
but without avail The best ysicans that could he

for such a discovery. Until this report is
confirmed and assurance rendered doubly
s1re it will be received with doubt. Atleast
one of our biologists afirms that the geolog-
c lformation of Northwestern Iowa precludes
the possibility Of the existence Of coal in
this section, while . different theory is
maintained by others Of scarce less weight
as authority. And while We arc not prepar-
ed 70 place implicit belief in either theory,
the numerous indications of coal deposits in
very limited quantities heretofore discerned
in the northwest certainly forms foundation
for the hope that the good new from Chero-
kee may be true.
If the discovery of coal, as in good faith
reported, has been actually made, it is in
deed a bonanza for northwestern Iowa. Coal
within easy distance, and therefore at little
cost, is the one thing needed above all others
to stimulate manufacturing enterprisesin this
portion of Iowa. As the cheapest and best
article Of fuel for the prairie farmer, its dis
covery in the very centre of the ~newly.set-
tied prairie region Of Iowa would be hailed
as blessing by the people generally. Until
more fully informed all We can do is to hope
the report is true.

Postmaster General Key, has addressed a
letter to Speaker Randall inviting the atten-
tention of the house to the need of change
in the law regulating the prices to be paid
for government advertising. The postmas-
ter general suggested that the law be amend
ed so as to allow payment Of such prices as
the department. and various newspapers may
agree upon, not excluding regular CONNER
cial rates. He also suggests that in case the
department is not authorized to pay any
higher rates the law be changed SO as to re-
lleve it from the requirementef of advertis-
ing routes, ETC., at miscellaneous lettings,
instead Of which brief weekly notices might
be published in not exceeding ten papers in
each state or territory, stating that proposals
would be received for carrying the mails be-
tween stated points, but referring contractors
to the second assistant postmaster general
for all details.

The capture Of Schipka pass has produced
a gloomy feeling throughout England, i,
being generally acknowledged that Russia
is now in a position to seriously jeopardize
the most important British interests. The
question o is, shall England say yes OF
no to Russia's coming peace propositions
An Affirmative answer will be dangerous
and degrading, ard a negative one next
thing to a declaration of war. The Lon.
don Pail Mall Gazette says. in commenting
on the situation: "The surrender at the
Schipka pass will determine the ~ascendancy
of the peace party at Constantinople. The
peace party means the Russian party, hav-
ing for its aim Turkeys vassalage to Rus.
STA. This is the greatest of all dangers con-
fronting the British empire. We appre-
bend that when the peace negotiations are
ended the danger will be at our doers.'"
The London Standards editorial article
upon the war says: "Schipka is the crown.
ing misfortune of the porte. It's political
and military significance cannot be exagger-
ated. Adrianople will lie at Rursia's mer-
cy in a few days. The responsibility of
saying yes or nc to the terms of peace must
then fall on the British government, at
which time all the points of the eastern
question must be considered seriously and
deliberately by Englishmen. The hour is
at hand when it muat be- settled once and
forever

A letter has been received at the general
land Office making formal application for a
survey by the government of a portion of
the old Fort Dearborn military reservation,
as public land still subject to entry, although
it now embraces nearly all the business por-
ton Of Chicago south Of the river. This
application is supposed to be based upon the
theory that the sale of a great part Of the
Fort Dearborn reservation by direction Of
the secretary of war in 1887 was not au-
thorized by the law of 1919, under which it
was ordered. The application comes from
George Wolf, of Freeport, Illinois, for Lou
is O%bsendorf, with a view to locating Val
entine scrip upon the lands. 1t is accompa-
MED with an Enclosure of money to advance
the cost of the desired survey.

DEGRADED SWINeFLEsn.
Burlington

Burlington Hawkeye.
Only q few months ago the noble grunter
was valued at six or seven dollars a hundred
weight on foot in the fertile fields of Iowa.
But he has declined to only about three and
q half cents per pound all over the corn con-
densing-into-pork commonwealth. The hog
of our daddies, the old-fashioned pork Of
our paternal ancestors, is in a demented de-
cline. 1t is time for the good genius Of the
silverites to agitate the law makers of Iowa
with the idea Of reporkizing the swine Of
this gallant and sturdy state. When the
porkers Of to-day were born, during all their
infancy, and even after they arrived at the
maturity Of b%ristlehood, they were BY the
contracting parties, i. e., the farmers who
fed them, and their maternal relatives, reck-
ened on FIVE cents = pound or thereabouts.
They were born and fed on a five cent basis,
ana this outrageous decline, brought about
by the designing consumers and their dys-
peptic stomachs, is a swindle upon the Drawn
and brain of the northwest. Legislation to
re-price pork, to uphold the dignity and in
tegrity Of dressed hogs and the commercial
too, for that matter, is now in order, If the
ulate the price of the principal productions.
Any legislator who will dare declare himself
adverse to a law fixing the price Of pork at
a figure which shall yield the farmer a fair
profit is a public enemy, a horse thief and a
liar: 1t is time that the pecuniary payer Of
pork be established in Iowa. The hour for
revaluizing the hog by legislation has ar
rived. When the hand of marks
pork on the dial of the Chicago board of
trade, down to S4.10, the supreme moment
for bucolic bile and buster has been licked.
And a legislative assembly which cannot
put hogs up-which cannot exalt the price
Of pork-cannot, certainly, have sense
enough to advise congress on the currency
question. Let our farmers be secured, by
legislation, q reasonable price for pork all
over this fertile domain.

been reduced from $4,000 per year to $l5,.
600, at his own request. This reduction was
determined upon because ofthe large falling

that there will be no packet out for White
