When the Queens Y-cad Was Gu. Off.

Apropos of the recent articles on the amount of feeling experienced by'a vic tim of decapitation. the following ex- tract describing the execution of the Queen of Scots from the bulky catalogue will interest scientists: At last, while one one the executioners held hir streightly with one of his hands, the other gave two strokes with an axe before he did cutt (off) hir head, and yet lefte little grissle behinde. She made very small noyse, no part stirred from the place where she lave. The executioners lifted upp the head, and bade God save the queen. Then hir dressinge of laune fell from her head. which appeared as grave as if shee had been three-score and ten yeares olde, powled very short. Hir face much alfred, hir ipps stirred upp and downe almost quarter of an hover after hir head was cut off.-Pall Mall Gazette.

SOUTHERN COLORADO COAL.

According to the geological survey"
says the Colliery Engineer, Colorado is
destined to be the Pennsylvania of the
west. Within sixty miles of Pueblo
there are 100000 acres of coal lands,
with veins now being worked from six to
nine feet in measurement. The coal
output in Colorado for 1887 was !, 791 ,735
tons, of which 1,055.676 tons were pro-
duced in three counties adjacent to
Pueblo on the west and south. The
amount of coal in the Canon district is
estimated at 80, 100000 TONS This coal
is the best bituminous coal known. The
retail price in Pueblo of bituminous coal
for domestic purposes ranged from $3.50
to So per ton. What is known as
thinning" or ''pea'' coal, used for factory
purposes, sells at from 81 to $3.50 per
ton. The average value of the coal on
the cars at the mines is 1926 per ton.
Thus the coal production of 1887 reached
the aggregate value Of 1894 ST.. The
average number of persons employed in
and around the mines during the year is
estimated at 5000. The average price
paid to miners for digging and loading
the coal and timbering their working
places is Sc 1-2 cents per ton of 1900
pounds of screened coal. The average
cost of producing the coal on the cars at
the mines, including royalty is $1.73 per
ton.

TWO FEDERAL DISTRICTS.

Says the Atchison Globs concerning
| the proposed division of the state into
two judicial districts:
| The proposition to divide Kansas into
| two judicial districts complicStes the fight
for the offices of marshal and attorney.
DIVISION means two sets of officers, and
the old or Topeka district will pay better
than the new, unless the division is made
on an east and west line south of Topeka,
which would give the new district the
Indian Territory and the fat fees coming
from that field. OF course Topeka would
oppose division on an east and west
line, and thus the row is intensified and
Will result III no division at all.
The population and business of the
state demands two districts, and the
threat that Topeka will fight it amounts
to nothing. In fact any fight that To-
peka or ANYBODY else might make would
amount to nothing after congress is once
convinced that the territory is too great
to be successfully handled by single
judge. The state can be cut in two but
one way. Even if it could be cut in two
north and south, with Wichita in the
eastern half, there would be four courts
in such district with Topeka as one of
them. The fool proposition of dragging
Indian Territory business all the way up
to Topeka wouldn't long 60 down with
the Federal Judiciary or with anybody
else in power. As for the Territory it
will soon have its own court.

PORTER FOR THE CABINET,
Greencastle Banner.

Greencastle Banner.
OF all the men in Indiana mentioned
for place in General Harrison's cabi-
net, no one would add SO much to its
strength or give SO much general salts
faction as the appointment of Albert G..
Porter. Over thirty years ago he was a
member of congress, and for almost
forty years has figured prominently in
the politics of the state. He is a man of
rare capacity, profound learning, and
great political sagacity. AT one time he
was law partner, and has always been
warm friend of General Harrison.
AS he himself said in speech last
summer, no rivalry has ever existed be-
tween them. His speech in the
Chicago convention nominating GEN
eral Harrison was the best one de-
hvered there and had no little influence
in securing the latter's nomination.
Governor Porter is not an Office seeker,
he is the creature of no click, no fac
ton, no ring: his appointment therefore
would give satisfaction to all elements of
the party in Indiana. He has been hon
ored with the office of governor and
gave the state one of the cleanest and
best administrations she has had for
many years. If appointed to place in
the cabinet he would not only reflect the
highest attainable credit on Indiana, but
his administration of the department to
which assigned would command the re-
spect of every Republican and every
good citizen of the United States.
