NOTHING so DARK.
A Court to Go Into the
Ground.

Macon, Mo. Jan. A court
in coal mine! That's what will
happen if the three Judges of the
Kansas City Court of Appeals
Jackson l.. Smith, james Ellison
and Elbridge j. Broaddus--accept
the bold proposition made by re-
spondent's attorneys in the case of
Viola Poor VS.. The Watson Coal
Company of Bevier. Viola Poor,
Il girl of I, is respondent. She
obtained u verdict for $4,000
against the coal company for the
death of her father. The coal
company appealed and the Appel
late Court reversed the finding of
the lower court.
The main point at issue was
whether the coal mines of Macon
county generated gas or not. If
they do, actions against them come
under the mining act. Viola
POor's action was brought under
the general damage act.
The higher court held that she
had no cause of action. Respond
ent's attorneys have filed a num-
ber of affidavits to show the mines
of Macon county do not generate
gas and that the court was wrong
in taking judicial knowledge of
a fact that does not exist" A
personal inspection by the court is
urged so there may be no sort OF
controversy about this important
point, about which a vast amount
of mining litigation hangs.

BUFFS GETTING ENOUGH
Daughter May Not Testi-
fy Against Father.
She Is "Visitlne" In Another
State.

A writer in the Vandalia Leader
under the heading, "Mexico Mat
ters," has the following:
A new phase in the Buffe case
has arisen and it is doubtful if this
case comes up at this term Of the
circuit court. The principal wit
ness for the prosecution, Miss
Louise Buffe, has left the State.
No one seems to know her exact
location just now, altho, it is said,
when she left Vandalia her desti-
nation was Troy, Ill. The attor-
ney for the prosecution has failed
to secure an answer to inquiries
about her at that place. 1t is very
apparent that the family are not as
anxious to prosecute the father as
they were some time ago. At the
time of the murder of his wife
and for sometime thereafter it
seemed to be the wish of the fam
lily to let the law take its course.
But time has had its mellowing
influence and softened their hearts
toward their father, who took the
life of their mother. The theor,
is that Louise did not care to tes-
tify against her father. therefor,
made it convenient to visit in an
other State till the case is disposed
of. If this really is the object of
her departure from the State,
hardly think she will be severely
condemned for it. II is probably
not known, but a witness cannot
be brought from another State by
any process of law. II Miss Bufft
returns she will come Of her own
free will Mr.. Al Bungard, there
fore, will be the priucival witness
in the case when it comes up fol
trial at this term of court. AS tC
the punishment Buffe will receiv,

the prosecution can make out OF
witnesses who did not see the kill

to the number of years in the pen

The SOciabIe Candidate.

A story which is part of the
flotsam and jetsam of a recent po-
litical campaign is worth a more
permanent place in the annals of
human nature. A candidate found,
to his surprise, that voter some
what ignorant but of influence in
his neighborhood had suddenly de-
cided to vote for him. This was
the reason the man gave for his
change of base:
III was against We at first, sir,
and when We stood by that pigsty
and talked with me for half an
hour ye didn't bulge me an inch;
but after We had gone away | got
to thinking how We had reached
yer hand over the rail and scratch
ed the pigs back till he lay down
with the pleasure of it, and | made
up me mind that when a man was
so sociable rs that with a poor
fellow-creature | wasn't the one to
vote against him"
Undoubtedly, if the candidat e
had scratched the pigs back as a
mere electioneering expedient, it
would not have had the same ef-
feet, for your thoro-going farmer
is very quick to detect thing
which is done for show. The city
man frequently gets the credit OF
such sharpness, but the fact il
that he is so prone to consider al
things frauds that he is sometimes
inclined to reject an honest man in
favor of sharper, because he
latter appears to be clever. 1t ii
pretty safe to conclude that wher
a man is immensely popular with
the plain people OF the countr,
there is something genuine in hin
which they instinctively feel; an(
in this case the candidates impuls,
to make the pig happy appears t.
have been half unconscious and al
the more impressive on that ac
count. 1t would hardly be safe t.
conclude that any candidate ma!
