MORE ABOUT COAL

! To the Ed!tor OF the Eagle.
l see in your reply to Prof Moore's
article on coal prospects, in hechi town
ship, you say Mr.. Moores is not aware that
drills have been put down in the territory
described by him. In that you are cor
rect. Mr.. Moores nor any one else is
aware of that fact. There never was any
drilling done or shaft sunk. Where the
drilling was done, you spoke Of, was
from four to six miles south of Kechi
township. / was told at the time OF the
drilling that they did not find any coal
whatever. and but little indications of
coal. While in Kechi we have very
strong indications of coal, not only that.
but coal has been found in several differ
ent places where it cropped out under slate
stone in deep rayines. | was with Prof.
Moores over the most part of Kechi town
ship when he was prospecting. We found
that the most of the township is
underlaid with slate stone from
twenty to about forty-eight feet
from the top surtice. Quite num-
Der of the farmers in the township
have dug wells for stock water, many of
them have struck slateStOne None of
them over went through the state to see
what was under it, Mr.. Moore says
where the slate runs thick through, coal
is very apt to be found i'll paying quanti-
ties, but if the first layer of slate is quite
thin, the probability is that there will be q
second layer of clay, then a second layer of
slate thicker than the first. Mr.. MOOres
says coal is always found under that in
good paying quantities. From what Mr..
Moores says and my own observations, |
am of the opinion there is plenty of coal
within five OF eight miles northwest OF the
city.
Mr.. Moore was for three years assistant
expert coal biologists in the government,
and is well known as such through the
northwest Mr.. Moore is not financially
interested in prospecting here for coal,
all his interest Is in Iowa. He came here
on a visit 10 his daughter and for rest
up, his prospecting and looking over the
country was only to pass away time, he
has given us the facts as he believes them.
Respectfully, w. A. WALLACE.

the use Of tobacco are never omitted. and
prohibition is insisted upon in every case
without exception. | am very sure. from

from beginning IL too early in life.

A MASONIC TEMPLE ASSURED.
The Offer orthe A and A. Scottish Rite Masons
for the First Baptist Church
Property Accepted.

The members of the First Baptist church
at their meeting to consider the bid of the
A. and A Scottish Rite Masons for the
northeast corner of Market and First
streets. decided to accept the offer of &c.
600 for the church location. Instructions
were given TO close the contract which will
probably be done tomorrow
This gives the order a plot of ground
5lxl40 feet with the most desirable loca-
ton in the city for temple.
A fine building on that corner will make
clever appearance from Main and Doug
las and easily reached from both and in
the very center of the city. The Scottish
Rite order which is making the purchase
has for its membership over one hundred
of the leading business men of the city,
and besides quite number from adjoin-
ing towns. The order here will
not be encroached upon by any
other in the southwest and this
will be the metropolis for
Thirty-two degree masonry. This being
the case the financial standing of the so
ciety viii at once be seen TO be such that
it will be an easy matter to erect one of
the finest temples found in the west.
1t is not known as yet what program
will be adopted. The lease in the Friend
building expires in few months, when it
is thought the society will occupy the
present building. Ii this plan is
adopted possibly more room will be neces-
sary, which will be provided by building
an addition on the east end.

BOSTON BEANS.

Beans. a small word, but how many
persons are anxiously looking for it this
morning. How many pulses quicken at
the sound of it:
\ committee of gentlemen selected by
the management of the Boston store
counted the beans, last evening, that have
been the subject of SO much guessing for
the last eight weeks, and found the num-
Der to be Is, 932.
At $50 p. IN. the committee put in their
appearance at the store, and after the
cigars had been handed around, ranged
themselves along the counters on stools
a la lunch counter. and were each and
every one served with a course of beans
without pork For about forty minutes
nothing was heard save the rattle of beans
passing muster, and now aud then a cry
for more beans" from some greedy
counter. The way those beans disappeared
from the jars would have made hungry
soldier green with envy.
1t will probably take two or three days
to ascertain who are the best guessers, as
there are in the neighborhood OF $4,000
tickets TO go through and compare
After each gentleman had counted his
allotment the different sums were added
together and the following statement was
signed by all who participated in the emu
meration:
We. the undersigned, do hereby certify
that the above is true and correct count
of the beans contained in the glass jars III
