Herald and Tribune,l
The charter of the West Virginia
Coal, Iron and Lumber Company was
filed for registry today in this county.
The capital stock is one million dol
lars, and the principal office of the
company is by its charter located at
Jonesboro. The charter members are
Eastern capitalists. We had the pleas
ure Of an extended talk with Mr.. H.
H. Blackburn, OF Washington, D. c.,
who is one Of them, and he assured
US the company meant immediate
business.
"Does this mean furnaces here?"
"Well, possibly. We are not ready
to discuss that, as yet"
Like the cotton mill, this new en-
terprise was so we'll pleased with the
looks of the burg that it just walked
in and sat down. That is all right.
Jonesboro holds out her hands in cor
dial welcome to all such.
We envy our neighbors the peace
and quietuds they must enjoy. How
delightful il must be to live in a
"burg" where every body and every
thing sits. With us all is life and &C.
tivity and the mingled sound OF saw,
hammer and trowel is an everlasting
accompaniment for our constantly in.
creasing labors. When we tire OF il
we will fly to thee, dear friends, and
rest our weary bones. It is said one
experiences a tired feeling on ap.
preaching Jonesboro and naturally
the first inclination is TO be seated. Il
this be true then the above clipping

Artificial Comh-Honey a Myth.

From the Popular Scicnc" Monthly.
The seasons of 1887 and 1888, espe-
cially the latter, were unpropitious
for the "busy little bee," and yielded
but little honey. The crop was gen.
eral failure. not only in America, but
in Europe. The modicum OF honey
produced, especially of comb honey,
was soon exhausted, and the dealers
as we'll as consumers, North, South,
East and West, were crying out for
honey. The producers were mum
dated with letters and orders which
they could not fill. Now, here
was the grand opportunity for the
manufacturers of artificial honey"
If the article could be sold lat an i'm
mense profit at half the price" of the
genuine article, as Prof. Wiley as
sures us, these bogus manufacturers
could have coined money-there were
millions in it" apparently. But
they failed to appear. The glucose
was available, the paratfin ditto,
and the Inappropriate machinery"

of progress, to have become still more

mine of honey continued. The tempt

SUICIDE IN CHENEY.
An Overdose OF Morphine Presum-
ably the Cause.

CHENEY, Oct. 29-This morning
Joseph Arrabuckle wus found dead in
bed in the hotel on Railroad street.
Coroner T.. w. Weems, of Spokane
Falls, was notified, who Immediately
came and summoned jury to look into
the case and ascertain, II possible, the
cause of death. Several persons wore
called as witnesses, but nothing definite
could be ascertained. Charles GLADDEN.,
clerk for +. A. Pomeroy, testified that
he had sold him ON Monday night iif-
teen grains of morphine, and others had
seen him since that time take the medi-
icine or drugs. The jury, not being
fully satisfied with the evidence from
the witnesses, requested a post-mortem
examination. Coroner Weems ordered
Drs. Pomeroy and Harvey to perform
the same. After the examination they
concluded that the deceased came to his
death by an overdose of morphine or
some drug, and the verdict of the jury
was that Arrabuckle came to his death
by the use of some drug ad ministered by
his own hands.

FEAR AN AvALANCuE.
Residents of Terrace Street Seattle
in Danger.

SEATTLE Oct. 30.-Terrace street, one
of the steepest in the city, leading up 20
the base of the high bluil, has formed
into a menacing avalanche, and fifty or
more people who live in the vicinity, in
cluding the ground covered by the
slide. are moving out OF their residences
In alarm. The hill first commenced cav
ing two days ago, but in the last twenty
four hours the damage occasioned has
become alarming. Back and forth
across the street and in yards on both
sides for considerable distance assures
resembling the result OF an earthquake
have formed In the earth. The cracks
are from three inches to two feet In
width, and no one knows how deep.
The damage already done will exceed
500, 900, and people are fearful lest the
whole hill should come down with a
rush and roar and demolish the resi-
dences and kill the occupants.
The city board of public works put a
force of men to work this morning dig
ging at the base of the hill, ana the re-
suit was the location ofa large living
spring, which had sent seeping water
down the grade and was the cause of the
whole trouble. A drainage system will
be put in, and the city has hopes that
the avalanche can be checked.

COINAGE OF SILVER.
Increase In Amount Pur-
chased and Its Price.
DIRECTOR OF MINT'S REPORT
Increase in the Amount of Money
OF All Kinds in Cir
culation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.--The annual re-
port of Director of the Mint Leech says
the coinage for the past fiscal year was
the largest in the history of the mint,
aggregating IL, sos, OIL pieces. Gold and
silver bars were manufactured rs follows:
Gold, s23, 342, i33; silver s7,0i5, 357; total,
$50, 3S7, 700. Gold bars were exchanged
for gold coin. free of charge, Of the value
of SIC 357, 677. The exports of gold dur
ing the year exceeded the imports by
81, 253,047. The silver export were S.
745, 455 over the imports. Tho total
amount of silver purchased during the
fiscal year for the coinage of silver dol
lars was 300l2, III standard ounces,
costing Sl6, 800, 1926. From the close of the
fiscal year to the date of when the silver
act went into effect the amount of silver
purchased was 3, los, l99 standard ounces,
costing So, Oi0, 426. The amount of silver
bullion purchased under the act OF Octo.
Der 81, was II, 276, ,573 ounces, at cost OF
Sl4 03S, les, an average of Sl.l43i9 per
fine ounce.
There was marked improvement In
the price OF silver during the fiscal
year. The director estimates the stock
of metallic money in the United States
July /, 1890, to be: Gold, $685., 563, 029; I;
silver S46l, 2ll,9l9. The total amount of
metallic and paper money in circula-
tion, exclusive of the holdings of the
treasury, June 80, 1890, was 81, i35, $40, -
6l2, per capita of S22.09, against
81, $50, ilS, ,09l at the commencement of
the fiscal year, an increase OF 500, lD2, 52l.
The number of silver dollars in circu-
lation June 80, 1890, was 56,27S, 749,
against 81, 457, 300 at the commence
ment of the year. The product of gold
from the mines of the United States
during the calendar year of 1850 was
So, 500, 900; of silver 10000, 600 fine
ounces, of the commercial value of
$40 10000, and a coming value of
S64 6i6 i6i.
The products of the mines and smelt-
ers of the United States during the same

COLE WAS MURDERED.
Tho Missing Teamster's Body Hid In
the Rocks.

WILBUR, WASH, Oct. 2S.-It is now es-
tablished beyond reasonable doubt
that Cole, the missing teamster, has
been murdered and mis- body hid in the
rocks.
An old Indian who can not talk in
telligontly has given the information
that Coles body is somewhere under
the rocks near the scene OF the assass-
ination.
A very strange part of the dark affair
is that the money OF the murdered man,
q considerable sum, has been found in
his wagon, but check he was known
to have had in his possession when last
seen alive is missing.
The Indians are strongly suspected
by many, but there are others who do
not share this opinion. 1t seems proba-
bic that the Indians would have taken
the money of the victim, even though
they killed him out of revenge. White
men might have acted differently.
1t is impossible to catch the exact
meaning OF what the old Indian says,
but no one doubts that Cole is dead and
buried. His relatives and friends are
busily searching for the body and ex-
pect to find IL within q day or two.

SHOWN BY THE CENSUS.
There Are ee. e.4sO. $40 OF Us-Rather
disappointing Figures.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l.-Bulletins is
sued to-day on the population of the
United States say the population of the
United States June 0 and 10, as shown
by the first count, exclusive of whites in
the Indian territory, Indians on reserva-
tions and Alaska, is 62, 4S0, $40. These
figures may be slightly changed by later
computations.
In 1880 the population was so, 1855, 7S3,
an absolute increase in ten years of H.
32i, 757, the percentage of increase being
2457 In 1870 the population is stated
as 49, 553 37l. According to these figures
the absolute increase between 1870 and
1850 was III, 59S, 4l2, percentage OF in
crease of 30.0S. Upon the face these
figures show the population increased
between 1880 and 1890 only 727, ,3i5 more
than between 1870 and 1880, while the
rate of increase is apparently diminished
from 30.08 to 24.57 per cent.
1T these figures were derived from cor
rect data they would be indeed disap-
pointing. Such "a reduction in the face
of the enormous immigration during the
past ten years would argue great
diminution in the fecundity of popula-
tion or corresponding increase in the
death rate. These figures, however, are
easily explained when the character of
data used is understood. 1t is we'll
known fact, having been demonstra ted
by extensive and thorough investiga-
tion. that the census of 1870 Is grossly
deficient in the Southern states, so
much SO as not only to give an exaggcr-
ated rate OF increase of population be-
tween 1870 and 1850 in these states, but
to affect very materially the rate of in
crease in the country at large.

fectly safe and free to make no con-
tributions II they so prefer. Within the
classified service employees are under no

II wo did not want to contribute, we

desires to contribute to compel him
to contribute to this party rather than
that. In regard to political clubs, oil

bers, there Is no reason why they should
not be democrats AS well as republicans.
But any of them will be prosecuted II
we have evidence of their trying to force

FORFEITED LAND GRANTS.
List OF Lands win BE Made Public on
Mobiles Approval.

Especial service OF the REVIEW Washington
Press Buroau.l
WAsHiNGToS, Nov. 1.-The passage by
congress of the land grant forfeiture bill
has aroused great deal OF interest in
those parts of the country where there
arc grants to railroad companies which
may be declared forfeited under the act.
Many questions arise, not only as to Just
what grants Will be declared forfeited,
but Us to the condition in which the for
ioiture will leave the title to lands which
have passed out of tho control of the
companies.
From Minnesota, Washington and
Oregon numerous letters have been re-.
ceived asking questions on these points.
Senator DoIph, of Oregon, ono of the
few who remained In the city, has been
at the general land office u number of
times urging tho department to as
speedy action as possible in reaching a
settlement of these questions.
The commissioner has in response to
these communications prepared rules to
govern officers in the land offices in car
rying out the terms of the act. These
rules 20 into detail to the extent that
they embrace a long list of grants which
are thought from the evidence on file
here to come within the scope of the
act. The rules have been submitted to
Secretary Noble and II he approves
them the list of grants will he made
public and the details of instruction for
warded to the land offices at the earliest

WISE CUBANS.
The Spanish Government Urged to
Make y Reciprocal Treaty.

petition forwarded by the tobacco grow
ers and cigar manufacturers of the union
of Cuba to the Spanish government urg-
ing the negotiation of reciprocity
treaty between Cuba and tho United
States. The petitioners assert that they
are confronted with the simple problem:
"On one side ruin, stagnation and
misery; and on the other abundance,
wealth and a promising future"
They say: THE United States buys
from us tobacco and sugar to the extent
of SOL, 900 900, and 1t is not strange the
American government should make it
self strong ON the absolute necessity we
have OF that market to demand recipro-
cal concessions, or which is the same
thing, exemption for their flour, lard,
machinery, hardware and other articles
in our tariff to increase exports to this
island in one word, they want to pay
us Tor the tobacco and sugar they con-
sumo, with the goods they produce.
To-day they only sell us SIC, 900, 900 or

this amount to $4,000, 900 they buy
from us. This Is what the Mckinley
