KNOCKED SENSELESS
DR.. Warren Has Been at the piersOn
Hotel Since Tuesday Night Suf-
fering From the Effects of q
Dangerous Mound i'm His Head
Claims That He Lost His Money
and Watch.

DR.. b. N. Warren, who has beer
prospecting in the White Oaks country
for a month or more. met with severe
accident in this city Tuesday night.
| He was found in the alley at the rear
of the Reception aloon Tuesday night
at about O'Clock in IA unconscious
condition resulting from. u wou nd in
! his forehead just above the eye.
Warren's injuries were the result of
a fall. He was taken to the Pierson
| hotel and DR.. Race summoned. For
time the attending physician was
doubtful if the mans life could be saw
ed, but he worked heroically to restore
himfto consciousness. Warren, however,
lay in stupor until this morning,
when he revived sufficiently to say
that he had lost about 5000, his watch
and "a bunch of keys.
Warren came to this city Septembr
80 from the Mescalero Indian reserva-
tion, whittier he went some weeks be-
fore to hunt for either gold or tin de-
posit, which had been found on the res
ervation by an Indian. He is alleged
to have been associated with Senator
Jones, of Nevada, and Secretary
tute, at Washington.
Warren registered at the Pierson
from New York and is a native of Wis
consin. He does not remember how
he was Injured and now believes that
he left his money and other valuatles
at some saloon or hotel before he be-
came unconscious. The police are
working on the case and hope to re-
cover the lost property.
THOUGHT HE WAS SAND-BAGGED.
Soon after regaining his senses
Warren was inclined to believe that
he bad been sand bagged and robbed,
but parties who were with him Tues
day evening say that his injuries were
the result OF an accident and he was
found by his friends few minutes af-
ter it occurred.
Tuesday night he was in the Recep-
ton and started toward the S. P. de-
got. His friend started after him and
saw him turn into the alley in the rear
of the saloon. They reached the spot |
q moment later and son Warren turned |
the corner. When next seen by them |
he was lying PROSTATE against the iron |
railing that guards the area way. His |
head had struck an iron post with ter
rife force and the blow had rendered |
him in irsensible. |

THE FUTURE OF COAL.
though tho Fuel supply is Dwindlink
Prospects Arc Still Bright


Some people don't care what be-
Comes of the coal supply OF the world
and others do. Without casting any
aspersions upon those whom the ap-
preaching exhaustion of the earth's
coal deposits moves not, We must
nevertheless admire others for their go
licitude as to what their descendants
will do without 1t a few thousand
years hence. The fact, however, that
mankind every year uses about 400.-
100000 tons OF the coal left in the
world, estimated roughly at a paltry
600. 100000 tons, should rouse the
needless ones from their apathy. A
few years ago 1t was foreseen that
the supply OF sperm whales would be
exhausted, no more candles could be
made and man would be left in dark
ness. Even then there were people
who didn't care, and when somebody
discovered kerosene they said: ''Oh,
I don't know!" or words something
like that Kerosene was getting scarce
and another chill shook the planet
Then the Consolidated Gas Company
was formed. usurping Col. Bryans
rights, gas took the place OF kerosene,
and Standard Oil went up ten points.
1t wasn't long before the world had
another chill. but not such a bad one
as the others. 1t was getting used to
them. Gas was giving out, and the
end of the world was near. But cleo
tric light came in time and saved the
world from darkness. Now. however,
somebody has discovered that in the
generating of incandescent electric
. light SO per cent of the energy used is
Thrown away, SO electric light will
eve to go. The next thing will be
animal light Only 2 per cent of that
is wasted. The Firefiy and Glowworm
Light company is due. But the devel-
opment of electrical forces will not
stop the use of coal. and so the coal
barons can rejoice. Solar heat, tides,
wave motion and wind currents can
be harnessed, yet the day Of the steam
engine and coal is not past. These
forces cannot be relied upon al coal.
The sun does not shine with equal
warmth every day nor does the wind
blow with equal force. Waves and
tides vary greatly.

Au-tr,a'- Newspaper Tax.

Austria shares the doubtful honor
with Turkey of having n government
tax on each newspaper printed In or
introduced into the country, and the
privilege with Russia of prohibiting
the sale of journals in the streets. The
removal of this unpopular tax on
knowledge has been matter of con
stant i'ation and promises of a
speedy reform have been made by the
present government. The obstruction
ist policy OF the opposition in Parlia-
ment, however. has rendered the pros
pect of legislation on this point hope
less, at least within any measurable
space of time. The Social Democratic
party has nevertheless, taken n very
pronounced position in the matter. and
is agitating for an abolition of the oh
ncNious laws. At the head of the pres
ent movement are many compositors,
who fear that the number of the en-
pioyed will be considerably reduced
