STAFFORD. KAN. Sept. 9. 18S


Jackson Standard, thou remem-
brances of old times; I see by the tablet
that my time is nearly up. Enclosed
find one dollar, for which continue
the Standard. Having taken it now
81 years, it has become one Of the
family, and we should feel its loss
deeply every Saturday night. It
comes to us like one Of the family
who has been away back in Ohio dur
ing the week, and we sit down to hear
the news, and think Of our old friends
far away.
We have had prosperous year.
Every crop is good, the only draw
back has been to get machinery and
hands to harvest the crop. We have
plenty of rain until the last few weeks
when it has been rather dry to plow
for wheat; yet there has been a large
amount of work of that kind done.
Politics has not got in blast yet;
they are too ore=sided here to be very
interesting. Kansas will give large
majority for Blaine and Logan.
There is much larger emigration
to this country than ever before.
The price of land has risen around
here from S4o0 to 5000 per quarter.
Respectfully yours,
WIN. S. TYRRELL, M. D.

mace built in connection with the mine, but in 1879
the furnace was burned down and was rebuilt,
and the output Ofthe mine has since been used
for the supply of the Fulton furnace. The cOalis
hauled from the mine to the furnace by teams. None
of the coal is shipped.
The workings of the Globe mine irregularly
laid out, owing to the depressions and hills which
forbid the adoption of symmetrical systematic
plans. The coal fails below three feet the hills,
and swells to four feet in the swamp of the mine.
The Huron shaft, which was sunk in 1875, supplies
the Huron furnace with fuel. The furnace and shaft
were finished at the time; the depth of the
shaft is 20 feet the coal is of the quality
and thickness as the mines already mentioned. No
coal is shipped from this mne it being used exclu
sfvely in the furnace
Kyle slope do not rely any the blast furnaces of
the county for market. The capacity of these
mines is about $50 tons per day but they could be
readily raised to capacity of $50 to 800 if the
necessities of the coal trade required it. The coal in
each mine is good of the average thickness of the
district; 1t mines in larger masses it is Of inviting
appearance, and as furnace fuel, of good quality
but as shipping coal the demand for this is
limited 1t contains too large per cent. ash to
make it favorte for house fuel for the generation
of steam long the finer grade of the Welston
Coalton bed can be had at the price.
Along the line of the Ohio Southern Railroad two
and one-half miles west of Jackson, several mines
have been opened in this for shipping purposes,
but they have been at best but eebly operated. Its
average thickness is little three feet.
The composition of the Shaft coal in Kyle, Shots
Co.'s mine is shown in the accompanying analysis,
made for the Survey by Professor Lord. The sam
pies were taken by Mr.. c. N. Brown from the loaded
at the mine.

Piling It Onto The Old Liar !

The Herald says two men have been
employed for long time to guard the
County Treasury useless expenditure
Of the peoples money to pay party favor
ties"
The fact is, there never was but one
guard for the treasury. Mr.. Pollock has
been discharged for year past, and no
night watchman has been employed since,
until Ang. 10, 's4, (when there was large
amount of money there, before the settle

Township Treasurers had taken out their
respective funds MI. Shutter was en-
ployed and kept there till Aug. 31,-thir-
teen days-at $3.50 night, $3.50, to
guard a fund of the peoples money Of
nearly or quite $5O,OOO then there. Be
tween the dates above mentioned, while
this guard was employed. there was $37,-
523.23 paid out to Township Treasurers,
and there was $14,222 there when the of

Wonderful Revelations!

The Chillicoth Leader gives a
lengthy account Of the discovery of a
Mormon settlement in Jackson Town
ship in this County, which is interest
ing, but is not in the nature of a dis
covery at all. Had the Reporter came
to Jackson he could have heard all
about the Mormans in the vicinity of
Limerick. The Standard several
years ago spoke Of this Norman ire
vival' with it's attendant eccentricities.
The Leader interviewed Elder Thomas
Beatty, and states that he is firm
believer in the idea that all manner
of diseases possible to be cured by
"laying on Of hands s'-in other words,
faith cure" There are quite
number of members of 'The Church
Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"
in this County. An amusing incident
which we published at the time
occurred on Buffalo Skull, two miles
from here. An effort was made to
get a young man into the Norman
Church, and much talk was indulged
in with regard to the performance OF
miracles, and the possession OF mira
culous power by Norman converts.
The young man was scared out at
this. "Why," said he, suppose l had
power to turn the waters of Buffalo
Skull into wine-I wouldn't be sober
a single day in the year!'
There is nothing new or startling
in the discovery Of the Leader, as it
has been known here for years that
Mr.. Beatty, Mr.. Joel Allen, and many
others, had become converts to the
Norman "faith." By the way, we
should like to see case of cholera
morbus, or the old-fashioned jumping
toothache, cured by 1.-THE laying on Of
hands. Had the Reporter been here
some time ago, he would have heard
a convert to this faith trying to pray
himself out Of the calaboose-the fel-
low was put in Jail few days ago
but the boards held him. This man
"had a revelation from God' that it
was perfectly right for a truly pious
man to get drank, as some OF the old
time prophets were in the habit of
taking their toddy.

ANANIAS OUTDONE!
A Democratic Liar Who ScOrns the Very
Name of Truth!

The last issue of the Portsmouth
Times contains narrowing tale OF
distress and want found by wander
ing liar of that paper At the fur
naces in the edges Of Jackson and
Scioto Counties he found ''n1en work.
ing at 25c. day, and women and
children digging ore at very low
wages" and other equally horrible
things.
Then Irvine DUNCAN made speech
at Monroe Furnace, says this liar,
''and the owls hooted at him from the
top Of the furnace stack" And no
wonder! And this is not the Grst time
the owls have hooted at Irve This
fellow found a man who employed
men in 1857 and paid them dollar
day and board, for digging ore. He
found that the good old days oe Demo-
cracy, broken banks, starvation and
ruin, were splendid times compared to
the present. The only way we can
account for this fellows effort. is that
he either got drunk and dreamed it
all, or that he has consuming ambl-
tion to stand at the head of the list
as a Democratic campaign liar. He
promises to follow up the effort in
the next issue, and tell all about fur
naces in Jackson and Scioto Counties.
But we'll guarantee he will not tell
about the Democratic officials Of jack
son County gobbled the money in the
Treasury and sinking it in private
speculation in Iron Valley Furnace.
LIE this writer is the one we think it
is-and we are tolerably certain as to
his identity-we could tell IAN unco'
mournfu' tale" that would discount
his imaginary scenes, and still be true.
But suffice it that this is the Demo-
cratic Campaign Liar, on his rounds,
and he must do his best, and earn his
money. These stories about the good
old Democratic times. are told to de-
ceive young voters of to-day, and no
one knows their falsity better than
the authors themselves.
The Times is ranting Free Trade
paper, and the organ of Jim Newman,
Democratic candidate for Secretary
Of State.
The Hon. Irve has been down about
Monroe Furnace attacking Judge
Thompson's record Suppose we
should snatch the mask from Irve and
give the public few chapters of his
record. Our young friend should
travel carefully.

The Way to Put a Liar Down.

Cold official figures are the best
medicine for liars. The cowardly
sneak who wrote mess of stuff for the
Portsmouth Times, says ore diggers
about Monroe Furnace got from 80
cents per day, down as low as Is cents
or even less. The official report of
the Assessor of Jefferson township,
saws that the average wages Of ore
diggers in that township is S1.OO per
day. That settles it.
