History of Allen and Woodsor
Counties.

counties.
The generation which came to Kan
sas and reclaimed it from the wilder
ness, which settled and built the State,
is rapidly passing away. only here
and there is to be found ore of the
pioneers who came in the beginning
and who can say concerning the past
third of "A century "All this | saw and
part of it was" 1t is the knowledge
of this fact, the knowledge that if the
history of this part of Kansas is to be
written while the best testimony is yet
available it must be written soon, that
has led the undersigned to the de-
termination to prepare and publish
history of Allen and Woodson coun-
ties. The two counties will be associ-
ated together. Partly because there
will be roor. in the book we wish to
make Or both, aud partly because
from the beginning they have had
many interests in common.
In announcing our purpose to com
pile and publish this history of the
two counties, we are not unmindful of
the responsibility we assume, aud we
wish to assure all those who may be
interested i'm the work that no labor,
care or pains of which we are capable
will be spared to make it absolutely
accurate and complete, Il clear, inn
partial record Of men and events: that
will be accepted as authority and
treasured as thing OF value by
every household into which it may
come.
So far as possible the facts that are
to 90 into this book will be obtained
from original source and at first
hand. To this end we have solicited
contributions from a number of our
most prominent pioneers, and are
glad to he able to announce that they
have promised their cordial co-opera.

write are sure to be of permanent in.
terest and value.
The purpose of the book is to cover
the field thoroughly from the terri
torial days, through organization
development, war, politics, education
and on down to the present, presenting
also biographical and genealogical
sketches of many of the representa-
tive citizens of the counties. Bio
graphical history has always beer
recognized as the most desirable
means of preserving the records o
society, as it perpetuates the individu
al memories of those who make his
tory, and is that form of persona
narrative most attractive to risinl
generations. At the same time it con
veys the most important lessons o
life because it is history teaching by
example, giving to all the benefit o
experience. In every community there
should be published a record of tn,
pioneers who laid the foundations o.
civilization so broad and deep, of the
old residents, who, upon these founda
tions. builded SO wisely and well, ant
of their successors who have enlarged

results.
As our representatives pass through

express their appreciation in advance

will be asked to spend with them b

our posterity will have reason to b.

Coal Nine.
Phillip. W. Va, Nov. 3-One of
the greatest calamities in the history
of Barbour county occurred this morn
ing at 1 O'Clock at the mines of the
Southern Coal and Transportation
company at Berryburg. six miles from
this place. As q result of it these
men are dead:
Ole Marks, pit boss. Andrew Black
well, Albert Brown, Lawrence
Duecan, Pack Adams and seven others
whose names are not obtainable.
The injured are: Will Marks and
James jackson, both of whom will
die. The explosion was SO great that
mules were killed at the mouth of the
mines and cars were blown forty feet
from the track. One nan was blown
in two at the loins and his body
thrown against a pile of lumber at the
mouth Of the mine.
The night shift went on duty at 7
O'Clock. Everything went on smoothly
until about midnight when the ex-
plosion occurred. The dead were
mutilated beyond description.
The explosion was probably the re-
suit of an accidental discharge of dyn-
amite, caused perhaps by the G
sion of a blast. The property loss is
light. No blame can be attached to
the officers of the company.
