A recent examination of the coal de-
posts OF Colorado and Wyoming has b en-
made by DIR. John :. Newberry, the geoi -
gist, in the interest of certain eastern coal
ma mates. The report calls tention to
the rich oal resources which need only lie
investu en- of capital for their develop
ment For many years graspng railroads
have kept their grip on the coal felds in
this regi II, an it has simply been i'm
possible for pri ate enterprise and limit
ed capital to compete with monopolies
which eOntro led transportation to and
from the mines. In C nse, me &C the devel-
opment Of the in raj resources of Colora-
do and Wyoming has been held in check
while the railroads ha gro fat by linn
iting the suppl and fixing tn price of
coal. With improved transportation ia II
tiles and how freight lates, it will n take
long for private capita and enterprise to
fully develop the mineral resources OF
Wyoming and Colorado.

Killed by an Exploding Melon.

A very curious circumstance happen
ed in the western part of Carroll
county. A few days ago three negroes
bought watermelon from an old farm
er living in Carroll county by the
name of Lemons. They carried the
melon to an empty log cabin and plac-
ed il on the floor preparatory to cut
ting it. They had no knife, and one
of them who had his axe along. struck
the melon with the blade of the axe.
The melon exploded and killed two of
tn EN- instantly. and the other one has q
bro ken leg. There is no doubt that
there was dynamite in the house and
the stroke of the axe caused the explo-
sion. Milan (7enn.) Special

II is customary to think of - man as
successful who has ;dyanced step by sep
in his profession, who has had no re-
verses and met with no gr at misfortune.
That is what the Norl calls success, but
true success is no. measured by TN t
standard In no real sense can a mans
life said TO b, sue essful when he does
not consider, primarily, the duty he owes
TO his Col and to h fellow men, and Is
not more concerned abou the happiness
of his Bone and the welfare Of its mem
bers tnan about what he may accumulate
or how far his own way may be gained.
A man may have large worldly succe~s,
and none of the succe which Christ re.
qulres. No true judgment can be formed
by outward appearances, for these often,
like the she ! Of nut, may seem indica.
tive of sound CoadtioH, but on crackins
it % kernel is found within.

Consolation.

Dear Betty, when an hour ago
You scorned mY humble offer
Because my lean and empty purse
Was not a well-6led Golfer,
Why did you breathe your cruel "Ko"
With such frightened qulveri
Perhaps you thought ment to seek
Some suicidal river.
All. no sweet girl These modern times
or cynic calculation
Take wiser ways and means to end
A lovers desperation;
And Corydon no longer signs
His heart away in sorrow,
But seeks a richer Phills out
And wooes again tomorrow.

The Mormon question is not altogether
confined 10 Utah. Ne ada and Idaho
have laws on their statute books disfran
chising all adherents of the Mormcn
church and excluding them from the
rights OF suffrage whether thy are pc.
Iygamists or not. The cOnstitutionality
of this statute Is to be tested in Nevada.
Strange 10 say, the highest tribunal OF
Idaho has sustained the law. 1t is seri-
GUS question whether any territory can
disfranchise men on account OF their
creed. The national anti-pslygamy laws
do not go so far. Their citizenship
is taken from them as a punishment for
crime. They are no. punished on account
Of their adhe ence to the Mormon religion.

If one may Judge from the majority re-
port OF the Utah commission, just present
ed TO. the secretary Of the interior, there
is II tie hope for the admission OF that
territory as state for the present, at
least In the opinion of the commission
the Mormon Church is committed secretly
ly, II not openly, to the practice of polyg-
amy, and there are numerous evidences
that Ito Mormon people have not aban-
doned polygamy in good faith. The COM
mission recommends that an energetic
enforcement OF the law should be contin-
ned, as should also be the political dlsa-
bslties.

said, and Indicate a Republican

the proba bic result more than three
thons; nj above what Garfield ha !,
and the figures are entirely trust

numbers OF deserteis from The
Democracy on account of the free
trade position OF the party and its
Infamous record in State affairs.
Besides this the Prohibitionisis will
not poll their full vote. The Green
hackers are coming back into the
Republican ranks, and the former
lukewarin voters all are either
coming to Harrison on account of
his personal qualities or from State
pride. The efforts of the Demo-
Gratis to create labor revolt against
Gen. Harrison on account of the
railroad strike controversy of 1877,
have proven a boomerang. The
Democratic poll as well as the Re-
publican shows the way the tide is
going. President Cleveland's
Canadian message was neutralized
as campaign document in this
State by the kilograms of congratu-
