FINE COAL.
New Mines Being Opened North Of Us

Upton Mo. Times.
The Times has already mentioned the
purchase of coal lands a short distance
north of this city in Cooper county by
Wichita capitalists. Articles of incor-
poration have been drawn and a COM
pany organized under the name of the
Wichita Camel Coal Co., and the work
of developing these mines is being Wig
orously prosecuted. Mr.. Ii. G. Til
ford, gentleman well-known and
highly esteemed in this vicinity, is SUI
perintendent of the mines and informs
us that coal has been found in every
shaft sunk, over various portions Of
forty acres, and there can be no doubt
but the entire tract of land is underiaid
with a bed of coal from thirteen to
forty-six feet thick. Several gangs of
men are now at work and the force will
be increased as rapidly as they can be
used to an advantage.
The company is now endeavoring to
secure the construction of another branch
railroad to the mines and if 1t does not
succeed will construct its own road. The
company has ample capital and proposes
to employ sufficient 10 enable them TO
introduce the coal in the most econo-
mical manner. The coal from these
mines is the finest quality of camel and
will readily command the highest prices
in the market.
One great beauty of these mines is the
close promixity Of the coal TO the sur
face. In no place has the depth exceeded
sixteen feet.

BROOKS AND BOTKIN.

DR.. Brooks, not the doctor who was
hung in st. Louis, but the unhung one
of Kansas City, he, the former advocate
of human slavery and professed preach
er of good will to nlen-whlte men-ls
coming out into Kansas to help Bump
tious Botkin. j. Pete st. John. who dyes
his beard and runs the prohlb. party for
fifty dollars per night, said at Hutch
inson that the only way to curl up the
republican party of Kansas was to NOM
mate Botkin, who would run the Metho-
dists, while Brooks, who hangs out in
Kansas City, could come over and round
I'D the Christian church. Brooks and
Botkin are doing their level best to carry
out st. Johns program. -Botkin violates
his pastoral vows and deserts the Mas
ter's work, while Brooks crawls out from
the worst whisky hole in America to
come over into prohibition Kansas to
talk temperance. Undoubtedly the devil
could engineer greater hypocrltes, but
he never did.

DOWN WITH TRUSTS.

The bill reported by Senator Sherman
from the committee on finance to sup
press the prevalent system of trusts and
combines that largely dominates the
commercial and industrial interests Of
the country seems to cover the case and
should be enacted without delay. The
first section of the bill provides:
That all arrangements, contracts agree
mentS, trusts, or combinations between
persons or combinations made with view
or which tend to prevent full and free
competition in the importation, transpor-
tation or sale OF articles imported into the
United States, or IN the production, manu-
facture or sale of articles OF domestic raw
material that compete with any similar
article upon which duty is levied by the
United States or which shall be transport
ed from one state or territory to another,
and all arrangements contracts, agree
ments, trusts or combinations between
persons or corporations designed or which
tend to advance the cost to the consumer
of any of such articles are hereby declared
to be against public policy, unlawful and
void.
The second section provides that any
person who has been injured by any
trust" may sue and recover all that he
paid for any goods which have been en-
HANGED in price, and the third makes all
persons entering into any trust, either
on their own account or as agents for
others, or as officers of any corporation,
guilty of high misdemeanor, the penal
ty being fine of not more than $4,000
or imprisonment for not more than five
years, or both.
The investigations made by special
ciai committees into the subject and the
reports of the committees to congress
should obviate necessity for any extend
ed debate in either house. The import
ance Of the matter, affecting as it does
the Interests of all, is such as to demand
prompt action, and there should be no
unnecessary delay in putting the pro-
tective law in operation.

The way in which Judge Peters
speech stirred up the local Democracy Of
Wichita seems beyond representation.

their little fusion scheme with the L.

ten the fact that the Seventh congress
sional district of Kansas was being
represented in congress by one of the
strongest men in the west Well, they
won't be liable TO forget it soon again.
Judge Peters is good enough for twenty
thousand majority. If that speech
could be sput into the hands of every
honest Democrat in his district his ma
jority would be increased by thousands.
However, the local Democracy act as if
they had been struck by cyclone.

parties could not pay cash. This report
may not be true, but it would
be great and good undertaking, and a
paving one for the roads. The produce
that they would carry, with the good
crops that would result from such step,
would more than repay; whereas If the
usual seed planted should again par

would fall on the railways, as heretofore.
1t might be good plan for CONNER

address the managers OF the several
roads in the state at an early
day, in order to insure the
timely success of the project. as also 70

demonstrated by experiments in this

No daily paper in the state of Kansas
could have equaled, we believe, the feat
of the EAGLE in putting Judge Peters
entire speech into type, in addition to the
usual wire dispatches, in one night. The

solid columns, and but one extra hour
was put in on composition-that is, the
EAGLE force of compositors went to

Senator Piumb's non-appearance was
a great disappointment to many Wichita
people. The announcement made by
the EAGLE was upon what we supposed
to be reliable authority. The Topeka
Commonwealth announced that a tele-

effect that Plumb wouldn't be in
Wichita. 1t wouldn't have cost Plumb

else any great additional sum to have
notified the EAGLE that the appointment
made for him here was unauthorized or
a mistake The EAGLE feels very pleas

been left.

dreadful state of affairs and we recall
nothing like it in its possibilities. There

But it has never happened that the dis
ease had So wide hold and was liable to
break out still further in so many locali-

it should jump from Jacksonville, Fla,

Having practically given up all hope
of saving New York the Democrats are
preparing to make their main fight in
the west, with the hope of holding what
they have had and making sufficient
gains in addition to offset their losses in
the east. The latest announcement in
that connection is that campaign has
been arranged for Gov. D. B. Hill of
York state in Indiana, covering appoint
ments for speeches at a number of points.
This concentration of effort in Indiana is
the strongest evidence that they regard
their chances there as exceedingly slim.
And they are correct in their calcula-
tons, only their superhuman efforts will
not avail them anything this year. In

has been made in the offices. Mean

was pretty certain to do precisely what
the president, in spite of his promises,

MCCLELLAN GuLcH, Nov. A.-Believing
that reports may reach o stating the facts
in regard to the death of James Robinson,
of Lincoln Gulch, without giving any expla-
nation of the circumstances connected there
with which might cause the public to form
an opinion which may reflect on the people
Of Lincoln and vicinity. and more especially
his relatives and friends in the Blackfoot
valley, I will offer a few lines stating facts
and circumstances connected Herewith.
James Robinson had been adjrdged insane
and sent to the Asylum at Warm Springs,
sometime in the spring of last year, from
which place he made his escape by a win
dow in the second story, tearing up his
sheets and blankets for ropes to let himself
down. Since that time he has wandered
aimlessly about most of the time, in and
about Lincoln, stunning all strangers and
shutting himself up in his wi house alone
for weeks, and by words and actions estrang-
ing his friends and relatives, and especially
his brother. The last time he was seen alive
was on or about the 18th of October, but as
he often went from home for days together,
no one thought strange Of it. He used opium
| and other narcotics freely. He undoubtedly
| die in his bed from the effects Of b atdrug-
| a piece was found in the bed loose near the
body. The worst feature was the length Of
time the body laid there about three weeks),
| giving vernin time to eat the flesh from the
bones, so that the body could not have been
recognized except by the clothing it had on,
a sight I will not dilate upon. 1t is more
than pen can describe. An inquest was
held, the remains placed in . coffin, and in
the dim starlight Of a cold November night
each one wended his way home with thei1
own reflections, some of US a distance Of
twelve miles. We all hope never to witness
such a sight again. CHAs. PRYsE.
