find that people come to Wellington
from all over the country for their
coal, simply because they can buy it
cheaper here than anywhere else.
For instance, there is Mort. St. Clair
who used to live at Belle PLANE but
now lives fifteen or twenty miles west
of MedfOrd, o. T. He and his neigh
bOrS haul all their coal from yelling
ton. And only few days ago a man
Living near Blackwell who has an i'm.
mense crop Of Kaltir corn traded it to
the Hunter Milling Co. and takes his
pay 10 coal aud -four. lie haulS his
Kafir corn up and his coal and flour
back. The prices Of wheat and corn
are as good in Wellington as else
where and the FARMER who wants coal
can well afford to haul his grain far
Their to Wellington, and they do it.
Take for instance farmer who lives
at Dalton. Even though he can get
the same price for his grain at Dalton,
he can make good money by selling In
Wellington and buying his coal here.
But where does the profit come in to
the Wellington coal dealer? Suppose
that dealer to be the Hunter Milling
Co. They are never able to buy on
the Wellington market one-tourth of
the wheat they need. They have to
pay freight on all wheat they ship in
and from Dalton that freight is five
cents hundred pounds. Now if they
can buy Dalton wheat delivered in
Wellington and pay for it in coal,
they can save that freight even
though they make nothing on their
coal. Stated otherwise, we have ar
rived at the conclusion that the
prices of coal are and will be kept
down in Wellington for the purpose
Of making it pay the farmers from far
and near to haul their grain and
other produce to Wellington; that it
does pay them to do so; that the
farmers are fast finding this out, and
that if the merchants of Wellington
are equal to the occasion, here is an
excellent opportunity for Wellington
to regain much of her lost prestige as
a commercial center.-Mail.

The Prices of Coal.

We call the attention Of our readers
to the prices Of coal in Wellington.
Take Weir City lump coal for in
stance. The price at the yards in
Wellington is $3.50. In Wichita, the
same coal costs $3.50 and Wichita has
a ten cents lower freight rate than
Wellington. Why is this? Is it be
cause the coal men of Wellington
want to do business for practically
nothing? We hardly think so. They
are all very nice fellows, but we
scarcely believe they are in business
for the express purpose Of improving
their health. Our idea is that, as a
rule, every man has a motive for
every action. Our attention was
turned to this subject recently by an
item iu a Wichita newspaper which
congratulated the BOARD or education
Of that city upon getting its coal sup
ply so cheap, s4.25 ton, while the
Wellington board got their supply,
$50 tOnsOf exactly the same coal, de-
liyered In the school house Easements
for So 80 a ton.
We commenced to investigate into
the cause of this difference in prices.
In the first place We were surprised to
learn the extent Of Wellington's coal
trade. For instance last winter the
Hunter Milling Co. sold over 800 cars
Of coal. Then we were equally SUR
prised to learn the extent of territory
over which this coal is scattered. We

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 19.-Briedenthal,
the leader of the Populist party in
Kansas declares anew that the POpu-
list party Of Kansas is not dead. He
recognizes that the POpulists have
lost some influence by not nominating
a man for chief justice this fall but he
says the party will recover every bit
OF influence it has lost, and will be on
deck next year as strong as ever.
1t is now conceded here that Rev.
Jerry Botkin is long way in the lead
for the nomination of governor next
year. He is very popular among the
Populists and just now he is travelling
over the state and not allowing any
grass 10 grow under his feet. 1t is
true he does not make POpulist
speeches. He makes Prohibition
speeches, but when he is through
with his talk on the beauties OF Pro.
hibition he gets down among the au-
dience and makes friends. Lewelling
and Jerry Simpson, both said to be
candidate for the POpulist nomination
for governor, are at home and paying
no attention to the voters while
BOtkin is among them all over the
state every day.
Botkin is held to be a very strong
man by the Populists, and it will be
no surprise if he captures the Populist
nomination for governor. The Popu-
list fore-casters here say that Botkin
is the strongest PrObibitionist in the
state and if nominated he would take
thousands Of votes away from the Re-
publican nominee. They roint out
the fact that the Prohibition Repub-
licans are disguised with MOrrill's
dilly-dallying way Of handling the
ProhiOitory law and will flock to Bot
kin's support like bees.
1t is a fayorite expression among
the Populists that if BOtkin gets the
POpulist nomination for governor and
is elected he will show a Prohibition
backbone that no governor ever show.
ed before.
Whatever he would or whatever his
views it is plain now that If the Popu.
list party in Kansas is alive one year
from today and holds a convention
Botkin will lead of the aspirants for
the nomination for governor.

A Glimpse at the Schools.

The Mail man, remembering that
there are no better institutions in
the city than the schools and rome OF
which the city is half so proud, last
Thursday decided to take glimpse at
these institutions Of learning and
gather a few incidental notes. We
confile our visit entirely to the high
school rooms, and whatever we may
say was incidentally jotted Gown 10
too short time to begin on compre-
hensive write-up of the high school.
Upon entering the high school
apartments, We beheld the unusually
large number Of 13l pupils. This
enrolment exceeds that Of this time
last year by more than thirty pupils.
The very fact that the high school re-
ceiyes this superior patronage in
time when so many are unable to at
tend school for financial reasons is
sufficient guarantee of the work being
done. Never has there been course
Of study so complete in the high
school as at present. As each new
feature of educational work has pre-
sented itself it has betD adopted if
deemed worthy.
The increase in attendance has
made it necessary to occupy three
rooms as high school rooms, besides a
study room for the seniors. a reCita-
tiOnrOom and the chemical laboratory.
Among the pupils enrolled in high
school are "a tuition pupils paying a
total monthly tuition Of $50. Per-
haps a larger delegation of tuition
pupils hail from Mayfeld than
from any other one place, that
city furnishing six pupils.
1t is noticeable fact that every
branch of work is thoroughly master
ed, although our inspection of the
work was entirely too meager to do 1t
justice in comment.
Many new books have supplanted
the old ones in the schools and a de-
cided improvement in the class of
text books is the result.
The chemistry class Of the high
school deserves special mention for
the manner in which they are con-
Quoting their labOratory:work. They
are making some very interesting ex-
periments.
As we took in our surroundings in
the big school building we iOtted
down as answers and otherwise the

Distant Wedding Chimes.

The VoICEs prophecy was not with

occurred, at Kansas City the mar.
rage Of Mr.. Irwin Longaker and Miss
Jessie Fisher. The bridal parties are
both comparative strangers in this
city but they are destined to become
better known here during their fut-

diately after their marriage that
evening, the bride and groom board
ed the Santa Fe train out Of Kansas
City and arrived In this city Thursday
morning. They went at once to their
coy home on North Jefferson avenue,
which had been artistically furnished
by the groom and beautified in every
possible manner. Their arrival

The bride is beautiful young lady
and the possessor Of no ordinary

short time, made OF every acquaint-

that his business career in this city

The Express Office Middle.

Inc controversy ana mud0le In the
express Office in this city has finally
eliminated in the discharge of all the
former employees. We have known
for many weeks that there was
trouble brewing; that there were
differences and difficulties between
Agent b. F. Jones and the other en-
plOyees. We carefully avoided learn
ing any Of the details, however.
They were none Of our business. We
do not know now what the trouble or
the cause Of it was. But we do know
that during the administration Of
Elwood Peter things ran smoother and
the service rendered the public was
much more satisfactory than it has
been since.
A few days since it was announced
that Mr.. Jones had resigned his posi-.
ton as express agent, which is the
polite way Of saying that he had been
fired" A day or two later it was
known that Harry Sims would not
resume his position as clerk, /. e. his
head had gone into the same basket
with Jones'. Friday morning it was
announced that Gene Ferguson had
been discharged also.
AS we said before, We do not know
who is right or who is wrong in this
controversy. 1t is not our province
to decide. Each Of these men was an
employe OF company who has the
same right to discharge man who
does not suit them for any reason as a
merchant or farmer has. But we
know that we express the universal
sentiment Of this community when
We express our regret that the COM
pany has discharged GeLe Ferguson.
The Others are comparative strangers
here. Gene Ferguson has grown mp
from babyhood mere. His father, his
mother, his sisters and his brothers
have all been known, respected and
honored by everybody. His father
preached the first sermon ever deliv-
cred in Wellington, using a saloon
bar as pulpit. He lived an honored
life and died poor, leaving a large
family 10 Strengthened circumstances,
each member Of which has continued
to hold the sympathy, the respect and
the friendshipo of everybody who knew
them or knew Of them. No express
company or agent could make the
people of Wellington believe that
Gene Ferguson has been anything
other than a faithful, honest, hard
working employe. Everybody with
whom he has come in contact likes
him and is his friend.
But our regret at his discharge
looks beyond him to the home of his
widowed mother. He is now her only
support. In these times employment
is hard to secure. We dc not believe
he really deserved to be discharged.
He may have violated some rule OF
the company in asserting his own
manhood; but we do not believe Gene
Ferguson was guilty OF any wrong.
doing. The general sentiment seems
to be that his discharge is an injus-
tice to him.

The silverites can see many dangers
 In the present situation. Especially dc
 they fear gold famine. They assert that through the demonetization of sill
 yer the metallic money of the world Is
 reduced to so low point that it's vol
 tune Is manifestly inadequate for the
 transactlon of business on a proper
 scale. And they claim that unless silver
 is speedily restored to It's old position l the money famine will grow ever more
 intense, until the nations are over whelmed in universal bankruptcy. This has been the war cry of the sllverites in the past, and 1t is cry that still rings from the platforms in the South and West wherever an advocate of the white metal uplifts his voice in warn ing.
 But MT. James B. Colgate, a New York banker who has achieved fame as silver man, doesn't appear to be afraid of gold famine. On the con trary, he is distressed by his fear that there will be an overproduction of gold It Is estimated, he points out, that the worlds production of gold in 1894 reached the enormous sum of $780, 000 900. With new discoveries, and with the increased activity in mining, the production for 1895 will probably not be less than $2OOOOO,O ,OOO How long can the price remain fixed with this continued annual increase? Supposing that some wealthy firm in the produce trade should bid $1 per bushel for all the wheat offered. How long would it be before that firm failed when the cost of producing wheat was 60 cents per bushel? Applying the same prln~ ciple to the price of gold, the question naturally arises: Car the present price of gold be maintained, or must it be req duced and It's free coinage be suspend ed? It seems likely that, under these circumstances, what has happened to silver will also happen to gold. Same nation will withdraw it's fixed price; others will follow in self-defense. Coin- ed gold would still be legal tender, the same as coined silver in France and the United States. But what would be the effect of closing the hints against the free coinage of gold upon it's value as bullion?"
 Pay your money and take your choice. When the silver question is of perhaps the gold question can be.
