Bessie lives at Carondelet, Mo. She was
taken with pneumonia and was awful
sick. Dclirium set in and the burden OF
the girls cry was for John that being
the surname of the young man who had
been keeping company with her for sew
eral months. The mother telegraphed
for the father that the darling daughter
was dying. In the meantime John was
sent for, aud on his arrival the lacerated
lungs seemed to heal up as though ma
nipulated by a faith curist. Her delirium
passed away like mist before the morn

as "a lark. John remained AT her side all
day, and on leaving in the evening prom

of a job it was an easy thing for him to
do, and that second days companionship
entirely cured the girl. She is now in
perfect health, and the wedding cards
have been sent out. Bessie's father, who
paid good money to 20 home, hasn't
fathomed the mystery yet, but when he
hears the story he winks slyly to him.

A COAL FIND.

A Deposit of Coal Found in South

Intense excitement was caused in Chamber

clerk of the courts for Brule county, on the
reservation within few miles of Chamber
berlain, and the samples have been on ex-
hibition in his office in this city to-day,
hundreds of people going there to ex-
anime them. They are by long odds
of better quality than any of the previous
finds, and indicate vein fully equal
to the very best quality of coal ever shipped
into the country from the East. Mr.. Spal-
ding is one of the very oldest residents of
the state, has travelled over the reservation
during past years probably to greater ex-
tent than any other white man, having had
the most absolute confidence and respect of
the Indians, and has frequently asserted in
the past that good quality of coal existed
in the vicinity OF this city on the reserva-
tion and that the opening to settlement of
that tract meant the solution of the coal
question for South Dakota The bringingin
of these samples by him proves the accuracy
of his knowledge. He states that there is
no posi- pie question as to there being
large and paying vein. 1t is possible, how
ever, t!laI Practlcal INNING may be deferred
until the pats for the land are placed on
record in the land office here, so that fl
ing may be had that the rights of the for
tunate finder may be protected. One thing
is now absolutely certain-coal of good
quality exists in this vicinity, and the
prairie farmers will speedily be relieved
from the exorbitant exactions of Eastern
coal barons and railroads for supply of
this necessity. There has been no question
as to the existence of coal on the west side
of the river. Indications have been fire.
