The report of the warden of the peni-
itentiary shows that the output of the
coal mine for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1889, was 1,733,911 bushels, and for
the year ended June 80, 1890, it was
1,67s, 800 bushels. The mine is in excel
lent condition, is supplied with an
abundance of pure air and no care or
expense is spared to provide against ac-
cident. There has been no accident in
the mine mourning loss of life or limb
in the past two years, and but one life
has been lost by accident in the opening
and operating of the mine during its en-
tire history, and that one was the result
of carelessness and disobedience Of Or
ders by the victim of the accident.
A decision by the Railroad Commits
siOners, covering many interests, was
recently rendered. Although this de-
cision pertains to a certain complaint
against the Kansas City, Fort Scott &
Memphis railway for refusing coal ship
ments, the ruling covers shipments Of
wheat, corn, cattle, lumber and all car
load freights on any and every road in
the State. The principle is a broad one,
the board holding that railroads must
supply cars when they have them with
out the slightest discrimination. The
acts of railroad company which might
possibly ruin person or firms business
will not be tolerated.
