MISSOURI AND KANSAS COAL.
Interesting Statistics as to Production and

interesting Statistics as to Production and
Value During 1895.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Mr. Edward
W.. Parker has completed his annual
compilation of statistics of coal pro-
duction in the United States. The
figures relating to Kansas are interest
ing. The total product of the state in
1895 was 1895, $40 short tons, with a
spot value of SO, 4s1, 9s1. In 1895 there
were five states in which the coal pro-
duction was less than in 1894. First
and foremost of these was Kansas,
whose output decreased 461 1881 short
tons, entailing a ~shrinkage in value of
$697, OH.
Missouri had a total product of coal
in 1895 of 2,372, 393 short tons, worth
81, 651 GLE. The amount, while larger
han in 1894, was much below the aver
age for the previous ten years. The
ten mines in Macon gave that county
the distinction of supplying the largest
amount of coal, 4s9, $40 tons, worth
S467, ISL. The output of coal in Mis-
souri, reached its highest figure in 1888,
a year OF exceptional activity in the
western states, when it was 1900, OCT
tons. 1t has not exceeded 3,OOO,O 600
tons in anV one year since.

IN SILENCE,

Women are the real heroes of the
world. Thousands on thousands of them
endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind i'll the silence of
home. They suffer on and on-weeks,
months, years. The story of weakness
and torture is written in the drawn
features, in the sallow skin, i'll the list
less eyes, in the lines of care and worry
OH the face.
Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope of
relief lies in the exposure of exaInina-

Take ten cases of "female weakness"
and in nine of them ''local treatment"
is unnecessary, There is no reason why

KNIGHTS OF YTHIA

Annual Report Shows the Order to BE in
Good Shape Despite Adversities.
CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 25.-There were
hundreds of arrivals yesterday and to-
day of Knights of Pythias for the 18th
biennial session of the supreme lodge
and h national encampment of the
pythians and related organizations.
Supreme Chancellor Richie in his
report dwells on the fact that despite
the business stagnation the order has
made n remarkable showing. There
were losses of membership on account
of the German ritual and Roman Cath
Ole questions and jecause of the strict
wedding out of delinquents, but the
order is declared never on SO safe a
basis as now. The receipts for 1894
were 81, 020,2 95 and for 1895, "a, O32, sos,
a total for the two years of $S,O53, 600.
The subordinate lodge assets De-
cember 81, 1898, were S LOGS, O54 and
December 81, 1895, 5000, I'll, showing
an increase in the past two years
of S942,G27 The expenditures for re-
lief in 1894 were 81, 243, G7s and in 1895,
81, 250,0 G9; total, S. 94, 374, an increase
during the PAST two years of Sis, 600
The number of subordinate lodges on
December 81, 1898, was 5,99s and De-
cember 81, 1895, G,494, an increase in
the two years of 49G. The number of
members December 81, 1898, was 443,-
6i5; December 81, 1894, 464,5 $50, making
a net gain of 1924. The number of
limitations during the years 1894
and 1895 was iO3, 1872. The chan
cellor takes a pronounced stand
against propositions to extend
the order to other countries and
refers temporarily to the Withdrawals
of Catholics because of the pope's de-
cree. The states in which the greatest
gains were made were: Ohio, 1859;
Illinois, 3,317; Indiana, 2,757; Iowa,
2,265; Massachusetts, 1919; Missouri,
1,612; North Carolina, 1,4O4; Maine,

of 2,s07 in Kansas and 81, 166 in Penn
