IL may be appropos to again refer to
the importance of making thorough
test OF our coal fields. So far the pros
pectIne has only been to follow the out
Groupings exhibited In The banks and
chanutls OF ravlnes aud branches. This
work has been rewarded with fair sue
cess, but the coal obtained from these
mines Is not pronounced the best for all
purposes. What the citizens OF Bowie
should do or encourage 20 be done, Is to
make thorough tests for deeper coal. 1t
10 agreed by all experienced miners who
have examined the geological formations
OF our country that there Is second, and
perhaps third stratum OF coal. These
being older formations are Of
course OF better quality than
that near the surface. An
other matter might engage the attention
OF our city and that is an experimental
test. And influences should be brought
to bear to have them made nearer the
city. Developments prove that the coal
lies beneath us and all around us. Cheap
transportation is quite an itemin handling
coal, and those who are mining out few
miles from our city can never make 1t u
success until they secure railroad facill-
ties. This additional expense can be
avoided by opening up mines on the Fort
Worth & Denver In our opinion bo-
nanza Is awaiting some enterprising com
pany who will have the courage to make
the necessary test

local option election was held
throughout Erath county yes

local option will carry In the county by

"Foreign" War.

Louisville Courier journal.
The dispute between the kingdom Of
Belgium and the nation of New Jersey is
ominous. If war should break out be-
tween these two foreign countries there
is no knowing how many other govern
ments would become involved. 1t would
be well for the diplomats of New Jersey
to delay the outbreak until the mosquito
season, when the invading Belgians might
be quickly driven off or destroyed.

A VICIOUS CLASSIFICATION
A protest Is here entered against q &c
tional classification OF breaches Of law
and order The South is no more re-
sponslble for such violations than any
other section 10 which these occur,
but If q man is hung by q mob, or Chi
nese camp visited by miscresnts the
leading journals OF Northern cities imme-
diately seize the opportunity for start
ling headline, "Southern 0utrages."
The South as section Is, In fact, no
more responsible for them than are other
sections where such things occur. When
the Wyoming riots took place and the
Chinese were SO treated as to become a
matter of international interest, they
were not termed "Western Ou.rages;"
the troubles in the manufacturing towns
OF New England, and the outbreaks in
the mining districts OF Pennsylvania, were
considered as local, not sectional, in their
character. The Western slope and Texas
have cosmopolitan population, and
much that is accredited Southern is due
to the class Of men who have been driven
from the older states, and doubtless If
the discrimination shown in cataloguing
crime was abandoned, and all crimes inn
partially presented, the list for this state
would compare favorably with any terri
tory of equal extent and population in
any section of the United States.

University college, Liverpool, England,
has issued a prospectus of study for young
men preparing for a business career. The
scheme embraces two courses varying
with the departments of work proposed to
be followed by the student The instruc-
ton in both covers a wide range of stud
les, and includes not only the branches in
volved in the mere technical knowledge Of
business, but foreign languages, ltera-
ture, science, etc.-a training IN short
which amounts to a liberal education.
This is a departure in the right direc-
ton In this country business colleges do
not attempt much beyond that teaching
which goes 10 the making of good clerks.
That large and liberal discipline, regarded
as so important preparation for the
learned professions is ignored. One reason
perhaps, is that young men are too eager
10 master the immediate practical knovl-
edge, such as bookkeeping and the mas
terry of accounts which fits them to earn a
livelihood At once. That large mental
grasp and rounded training which enable
the possessor to see beyond the end of his
nose apparently do not enter into the
scheme OF the average American business
college-New York Star.

claimed the train had been standing over
the street for nearly twenty minutes. I'm

The twO-and-half-year-Old boy of Barney
Baker, diving at Ss7 south Yellow Springs
street. met with a painful accident early
last evening. A dish Of hot water had
been placed on the ground near the back
door, and the child, while playing around
it, tripped and fell in. The child's screams
aud its yelling powers then and afterwards,
were only limited by the capacity of its
lungs, soon brought the mother to the res
cue, who snatched her darling from the
fiery bath. DIR. Austin was called and
dressed the burns, which were found to ex-
tend from the side Of the head down to the
thigh and along the neck, back and arms.
The skin came off OF one arm and the back
was badly blistered, but the accident was
only painful, not dangerous.
