COAL DISCOVERY.

Mr.. NJ. ID. Csnsdsy, of Mulvane, was in
the city Yesterday, and reports that some
parties, while digging well at that place
this week, struck a vein of genuine coal at q
depth of thirty feel. The vein here was
eight inches thick and appeared to be the
edge of the ledge, therefore, # is supposed
that further back under the highland, the
vein will he much thicker
Mr.. Canady, who is a reliable gentleman,
says the coal rested on sheet of slate and is
similar in every respect, as far rs be could
see, 10 the coal found in the central and
northern parts of the state. 1t was tested in
a stove and burned as well as the best Kan

OUT OF THE KrNx.
The Matter In Controversy Settled, and the
Wichita Colorado Pulls Out
for Colyv CHI

A board, or an association Of Wichita men,
after months of work, may, by adverse cir
cumstance. and unforeseen blunders, have been
weakened TO degree barely noticeable, and
to feel that they had almost reached the end
Of the string. beyond which their labors
would go unsppreeiaied and count for
nausht, but when backed by the unanimous
sympathy and united work and efforts of the
business men of the entire city, As was the
case yesterday, no task too great could be
get for their accomplishment. Il is so, also
with u newspaper Work based solely on
faith, in the absence Of sympathy and con-
fidence. is discouraging to the last degree,
while appreciation is a stimulous equalling
inspiration. The EAGLES appeal of We'd
desday morning may have seemed little
strong. but the exegencics Of the case war
ranted even more than was said. 1t was q
crisis-a eliminating point, which, to have
disregarded would have wrought such disas-
ter as years might not have made whole.
The response that followed showed
that the enterprising among oar business
men fully appreciated TIE situation in its
true light. To them we most willing award
full measure of praise. As for those who
live to fatten off the enterprise and labers of
others and who would not lift finger or
offer n word of encouragement, neither their
praise or iticism can now avail anything.
If, and providing the agreements made
yesterday are carried out in good faith to-
day, we are authorized to say that every
thing Of n disagreesble nature will be for
gotten, aud all the original intentions and
promises carried oat to the letter. II, as we
say, there is no further bitches in the mat
tcr--and we have not the least doubt that
every man will do as he has agreed, that
dirt will be flying all along the line by to-
morrow's sunsrise. And with no more
such mistakes the line will, as it pulls on
towards tie setting Gun gather strength and
magnitude with each mile, while Wichita
will continue TO sweep forward in her rapid
course as the coming commercial metropolis
of the great central state.

The right Of way is secured and the dirt
will begin to fly all along the Eagle line.
Messrs. NJ. w. Levy, George Steenrod and
A. W. Oliver came in last night from Union
and Sherman townships, where they had
been to secure the right of way on the
Wichita q Colorado line. They brought
the deeds home in their pockets all the way
to the center of Sherman township. There
is now nothing 10 the way and the work will
be pushed as fast as hands can do it.

THE CATTLE MUST GO.
