COL. EGE.
B.ufr Character Who Wa, Famous in
the West
world"

E.u1 Character VINO was Famous IN
the West.
Col. Eye was a famous character il
the early days. Although living in
Doniphan county, he was often in At
Gibson, followed by pack of hounds.
He was a heightened southern gentle
man with a kind heart. One day while
returning home from Atchison he came
across a man whose wagon was stuck
in the mud in Independence creek bot
tom. Col. Eye at once started in to
help the man pry out his wagon with
a fence rail- While both were working
away Eye became angry and yelled to
the man, Lift, you son of gun; you
are not lifting a pound!" The man
picked up the end gate of the wagon
and split it over Eyes head, laying
him up for three weeks. Eye had his
hat off when he was struck and was
so bald before going to Kansas that
he was known as the Bald Eagle of
Maryland. Eye always carried pistol
and was always trying to shoot through
somebody's hat without hitting him.
One day, at the Independence creek
ferry, he shot at a man, but aimed a
little too low and creased him. But
Eye was always a gentleman; he took
the man into his home and tenderly
cared for him until he recovered

Anthra cite Coal.
The area in northeastern Pennsyl-
vania from which practically all our
anthracite comes embraces only $50
square miles, while our total coal de-
posts thus far discovered underlie an
area of over a half Million square
miles; and yet the value of the anthra-
cite mined in these few counties of
Pennsylvania in 1898 was S75,000,000,
considerably more than half the value
of the bituminous coal mined in the
entire country No anthracite is mined
in any other part Of the world except
in Wales, which produces annually less
than one-twenty-f as much as we
produce.
Our anthracite lies mainly along the
banks and in the valleys of three riv-
ers: Along and near the SusqueLanna,
with the largest centers of the indus
try at Scranton and Wilkesbarre;
along and near the Lehigh, with the
region around Mauch Chunk as the
most prominent field; and along tie
Schuylkill, and Pottsville as the chief
shipping point.

language that when they should get
control they would hang Republicans
"like pigs to pole," the question of
guilt would be of little consequence in
this conspiracy against innocent men,
the furtherance of which is indicated
by indictments found by partisan
grand jury. Upon such findings is
based the requisition papers which l
now refuse to honor. Another phase
of the question that deserves to be
challenged is the action of the general
assembly in setting aside the enormous
sum of 100000 as reward for the
conviction of persons suspected of
having been concerned in the killing
of Mr.. Goebel. That of itself is ac-
cepted by all right thinking people as
a tempting invitation for the propaga-
ton of wholesale perjury and prem
ium on moral and physical assassina-
ton. In the fearless exercise of an
established right and in the perfor-
nance of conscientious duty, 1 must
refuse to honor your requisition."

The foreign powers, including the
United States, appear to have agreed
upon joint action for the preservation
of life and property. Russia has a
tremendous army close on the Chinese
frontier, and Japan is also in position
to invade the country. Great Britain
has warships along the coast equal to
the combined strength of Russia and
France in those waters, and the United
States has on hand pretty respectable
force of ships and marines. Several
other nations are represented, and al
together, with the forces available,
it would be possible to march from one
end of China to the other but there
are good reasons for believing that
these Boxers do not constitute the only
problem to be dealt with. While the
Boxers are jealous of all foreigners,
the foreigners are jealous of each 9TH
er, and that the foreign nations could
settle this matter without falling out
among themselves seems next to i'm
possible.

- So far as we are aware, but very
little attention has been paid here to the
call for help that has been
going up from India during the past
few months. There have been some
subscriptions from individuals in this
section; but the contributions have
not been at all general. Some three
weeks ago committee of one huns
dred, with VIM. L. Dodge as chairman,
was organized in New York for the
purpose of collecting contributions.
Newspapers, banking houses, express
and telegraph companies offered their
service free, and the matter has been
so arranged that every dime contrib
uted by any individual will 60 direct
to the work of actual relief of famine
sufferers, without the subtraction of a
penny to pay any kind of expense for
labor, transmission or otherwise. The
need is great, single penny will help,
and such an appeal as has been made
should not fall upon closed ears in a
country like ours.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1900-06-16

There is a rather peculiar state of
political affairs in North Carolina just
at this time. When the proposed con-
amendments that are to be
voted upon next August were passed,
it was foreseen that the supreme court,
which has a Republican majority,
might declare them unconstitutional.
Therefore, the legislature, which is
overwhelmingly Democratic, decided
not to adjourn but to merely take a
recess until until the sitting of the
supreme court. The North Carolina
supreme court convened few days
ago and so did the legislature. 1t is
the idea of the legislators to circum.
vent any unfavorable action that the
supreme court might take. The mem.
bers of the legislature get per diem on
account of this adjourned session, and
it is thought that if the supreme court
sees fit to do so, it will be able to con.
tinue its sittings until after the legis,
lature adjourns.
