The Wa-Keeney Leader, in referring
to the indications of coal in Western Kan
sas, says: eve learn that in two places in
Trego County fair specimens Of coal crop out
Of the banks and other surface indications
point to the deposits Of that article in large
quantities. The Kansas Pacific Railroad
Company have concluded to bore 100 feet
deeper in the Collyer well, which is now 96
feet deep, and if indications then warrant
will 60 deeper. This certainly is matter
that should attract attention. With plenty
of fuel at two or three dollars ton at home,
the greatest obstacle in the settlement of
this county will be overcome, and an indus
try will be established that will add thou
sands of dollars to the wealth of the coun-
typ y.rt;Eyg
"a The druggists of Topeka, it is stated,
will take out United States licenses, but will
not give the bond provided for by the tenn
perance law, and will not sell whisky or al
cohol until case has been made and taken |
to the Supreme Court and their decision has
been made.
The State Board of Railroad Asses
sors have fixed the rate of assessment on the !
Union Pacific, Santa Fe and NJ, X. and T. |
roadbeds at 81, 200 per mile, inclusive of |
rolling stock, local buildings, etc. The rail-
roads of the State paid on the assessment of |
1880 $500, 900 in taxes. .s !
The Topeka Commonwealth says:
The State Old School Medical Association |
will hold meeting in this city early in May,
at which time the course to be pursued by
the doctors under the new temperance law |
will be determined upon. The druggists
have agreed not to take out permits to sell |
liquor until the courts decide just what their
is. Physicians, when they
desire to prescribe liquor to patient, can
only do SO by giving q prescription, and it
can only be filed by druggist who has TAX
en- out permit. If physicians should fur
nish liquor on their own prescriptions they
lay themselves liable to punishment
Tor selling or giving away liquor.
At least that is the general view taken
If the law. It is proposed, we understand,
to ask Gov. st. John to come before the med
ical convention and give his views of the
practical operation Of the act. There seems
to be disposition on the part Of druggists,
phi, sicians and others to live up to the law,
but they are greatly in doubt as to what the
courts may decide on many points. Some
think that the affidavit which physician
has to make before he can prescribe liquor
in any form is really an oath that he himself
will never drink liquor. tn~i't i I'll
