The production last year was not
only far beyond precedent. but it was
considerably larger than any estimates
that had been made during the year

OF the increased production of BIZ
luminous coal last year. amounting to
nearly 32.000.000 tons. over 10.O0O.000
was supplied by Pennsylvania. I'LL
nois's increase was nearly 100000 and
that OF Ohio was more than 100000
tons. The increase in West Virginia
was 100000 tons and in Colorado near
ly 1.500.o00.
The estimated value of the entire
production in each of the past three
years has been:
600 wy SOU
The average value per ton in 1s9,
was a shade under 81: in 1898 it was
95 cents; last year it was little more
than 81.
In review of the worlds coal trade
published in England four wears ago
it was stated that between 1sS3-S5 and
1So4-96 the cost of production in the
United States had been reduced from
IS. Sd. to As. 10hd.. and was then lower
than the value Of coal at the pits
mouth in either England or Germany.
The place the United States is to oc-
cupy in the manufacturing world is
indicated by the fact that the cost of
production in England must increase
with the deepening of the shafts. while
the coal area Of the United States is
so great that little increase from this
cause need be anticipated here for
many years. while we are already the
largest and cheapest producers Of coal
among manufacturing nations.

THE GIRL OF TODAY.


IF'rom the London World.
One of the most remarkable social de-
velopments of these latter days is the
evolution of the mature heroine of ro-
nance. Formerly this post was allot-
ed TO the young girl or the young mar
ried woman. In those times, moreover,
the adjective of youth would not have
been applied to the maiden who had
passed her 25th year, and only in the
spirit of the grossest fattery to the
matron who had seen her three de-
cades- 1t is typical of the age that this
explanatory note should be necessary
Now the expression young is purely
relative. The period of middle age has
been entirely abolished. Where almost
everybody is younger than somebody
else, it is only the few who are proud
of their extreme antiquity who can be
regarded with any degree of certainty
as old At so the girl of today no longer
retires on the shelf as a failure, to pass
the rest of her life in the humiliating
position of the maiden aunt who de-
votes herself on the poor. She is mere
~ preparing to start on a new phase
of life with a more definite plan and
clearer vision. Very often she marrieS
and begins afresh at 40. Sometimes she
has been known to be so greatly daring
as to enter on matrimony for the first
time when she has passed her 50th year.
For the ma iron the range is even more
extended At 80 she is quite a young
thing-gay, frivolous, skittish, to whom
society and Irritation are the chief OBJ
jects in life. Ten years more bring her
to her prime. 1t is the period of fasci-
nation, of adventure, of impulse The
woman of 40 is capable of anything.
She is the object of the widest plans,
the center of the most daring romance.
At so she is probably marrying for the
second time. Three score will find her
approaching the altar for her third
wedding, and if she lives long enough.
she may even reappear at a later date
to bring her record up to four.

ARKANSAS TO BE DRY.
Small Amount of Snow on the Water
shed.

The following, from the annual snow
fall bulletin No. 4, just issued by the
climate and crop service of the weather
bureau, forecasts the condition of the
Arkansas during the coming season.
The bulletin is issued by the depart
ment of Colorado:
THE weather conditions during Oc-
tober, November, and December were
not favorable to the accumulation of a
large stock Of snow. 1t is true that
heavy fall was general during the sec
ond decade of October, and another
about the middle of December, but the
remainder of the period was character
lied by an absence of local storms of
consequence, and for the mountain dis
tricts as whole the amount is below
the average. Windy weather has been
the exception and, in consequence, the
snow is loosely packed and stupendous
drifts, which form the basis of the flow
during the summer season, are notably
few. The ground was well supplied
with moisture and frozen to a consider
able depth before the October storm:
hence it is expected that the run-off
when melting begins in the. spring. will
be relatively great as wellsas rapid
THE distribution has been very I'M
even over the watershed Of the Arkan-
sas- As compared with last year and
the average the fall has been very light
over the northern drainage area; while
over that of its southern tributaries it
has been considerably above the aver
age, and many correspondents report
that the stock of snow now on the
ranges is much in excess of the total
during last winter"

WANT TO GET BACK.
Suspended Members Bring Suit to Be
Reinstated in z. & L. of 8.

Mandamus suits have been filed in
the district court against the National
Council of the Knights and Ladies of
Security to compel the reinstatement of
two members who were suspended some
time ago on account of the trouble that
arose in the order during the fall. The
two suspended members who have al

drawn up for E. S. McClintOck but it
has not been filed. The attorneys in
the case are ThOS. H. Balm, c. z. Nelly
and Waters & Waters.
The National Council of the order;
the executive committee composed of
w. B. kirkpatrick, J. NJ. Wallace, H. A.
Warner. w. J. Comb and E. G. Minor,
and S. r. futile, as financial secretary
of Columbia Council are made the de-
PENDANTS in the action
The affidavits which are filed in the
action allege that the plaintiffs have
been WrOngfully suspended from the or
der by the executive committee, but
they do not state for what they were
suspended, and the district court is ask
ed to compel the officers to reinstate
them and to compel the financial secre-
tary to accept their dues and assess
ments.
One of the bylaws of the order pro-
vides that the executive committee may
suspend any member who shall publish
any circular criticising the manage
ment and general manner of conducting
the business of the order, without the
consent of the executive committee It
was for publishing such circular that
their attorneys contend that the by
law in question is illegal under the laws
of Kansas, and on that ground the fight
will be made.

NO DANCE THERE.
Executive Council Refuses to Permit
Use of Representative Hall.

The executive council has declined to
permit the Twentieth Kansas commit
tee to use Representative hall for the
dance which the members of the regi-
ment in Topeka propose to give in the
near future.
Personally the state officers favored
the plan, but upon vote, taken after
considerable discussion, declined to
grant the privilege because it would es-
tablish a dangerous precedent.
Should the hall be used for this pur-
pose by the Twentieth there was no
reason apparent why the same privf-
lege should not be accorded other or
CARNATIONS To avoid future compIi-
cations the request was denied.

represented by A NJ. Fuller and John

CHOIR IS CRIPPLED.
County Jail Inmates Miss the Voice
of R. s. Winters

The county Jail choir is crippled. 1t
has lost it's best singer. The second
bass. r. S. Winters, has been taken up
to Omaha to be tried for fraudulent use
Of the mails.
Mr.. Winters was a federal prisoner
who was arrested last October, and he
was a favorite with the jail officials be-
cause he behaved himself better than
the average prisoner, and also because
he was possessed of q, magnificent bass
voice.
Winters is the man who is charged
with forging orders on a. Nemaha cOun-
~ nurseryman, while he was acting as
the nurseryman's agent, in order to get
his commission on the orders His oper-
ations were carried on up in Nebraska,
and he was arrested under a federal
statute for fraudulent use Of the mail.
He was arrested last October and at
the time il was expected that he would
be taken to Nebraska and tried within
two weeks from that time so he did
not secure bail, but the hearing was
postponed for one reason or another IN
til the present time He will be tried
in the federal court at Omaha where
he was taken Saturday evening by Dep
uty United States Marshal Trigg.
