SHIPMENTS OF COAL.
High Prices Are Giving New VAL

High Prices Are Giving n New VAL
ne to the Culm Banks.
Pottsville, Pa, Sept. 30.-The ship
ments of coal last week from the
Philadelphia & Reading West End
operations, Good Spring and Brook
side collieries, and the Kalmia wash
ery, were not as great as the week
previous, but there are 70 cars which
were loaded last week, and are on
the sidings ready to be taken down
the road. 1t is claimed there are So
OO0 tons of loose coal in Good Surfing
collier, alone that can be prepared
for market without a miner driving
pick. This comes from what are
called "runs." The veins are on an
incline, and the coal, after quantity
is removed below, begins to run to
the gangway below.
Owing to The high price Of coal, the
clum banks will probably be more
profitable than ever. The Phiiadel-
phia and Reading Coal & Iron Co. has
surveyors at work designating sites
for the erection of washeries at diff
ferent points. Among these are Swa-
tara and Dunaldson, where great
culm banks exist that were dumped
40 years ago and are one-half coal.

SPECIAL EDITION.

We reproduce the following an
nouncement of a special edition OF
the Hickman Courier by our es
teemed friend, George Warren,
editor and proprietor. Mr.. War
rem is one of our most successful
newspaper men and will, no doubt,
give his patrons an edition OF IN
trinsic value and merit, elaborate
and profuse in illustrations and
replete with historical, business
and editorial matter of special In
terest.
The edition of the Courier has for
some time contemplated the issuing
of a Special Industrial Edition of this
paper with the purpose of plcturlng TO
the world the splendid advantages OF
Hickman as a manufacturing point
and in other regards.
The preliminary steps looking to
this end were taken this week and the
generous response met with from our
manufacturers and leading citizens,
so far as called on, warrants us IN
making the statement that in the
very near future we will be able to
issue a work of this nature that, me-
chanically, has never been surpassed
in Kentucky. The data for the sub
iect matter of this edition is being
carefully compiled, will be prepared
by an able and felictous writer and
carefully edited by the editor of the
Courier.
The truth will be adhered to but all
the advantages and resources of Hick-
man will be painted in bright colors
and pictured in superb and profuse
illustrations.
Arrangements for the circulation OF
this work at home and abroad have
been made that cannot but prove most
effective. The Courier has secured
the services of Frank Mcdonald a ca
pable and experienced newspaper man
to assist in the preparation of this
work.
We bespeak for him when he calls
upon our business men courteous re-
ceptlon, and for the enterprise which
will be of immeasurable benefit to the
city, a generous support.

MADE HIM A HERO.
Army officers Strategy Inspired Awe
in Aboriginal Breasts.

Captain Tom Lord of the TWEEN
tieth infantry regiment has figured
as the hero of several amusing an
ecdotes, due to the fact that he
wore an artificial leg, the result OF
his having had one leg amputated
lust below the knee. When walk
ing he limped very little and a per-
son who did not know would never
have suspected that he was minus
leg. Some years ago at the
Standing Rock Indian agency the
Sioux were INDUCING in the sun
dance. In the sun dance the bucks
in their war paint and feathers ar
range themselves facing the setting
sun and at the appointed time be-
gin their wild dancing, slashing
themselves the while with their
knives, so that they soon become
covered with blood. This accom-
panied by chanting in a monotone,
each warrior calling on the Great
Spirit, the sun, the white man and
all his fellow bucks to witness his
bravery. The dance keeps up until
they fall from sheer exhaustion. 1t
was deemed advisable to have
troops on hand in case any trouble
should occur, and, accordingly,
Captain Lords company was or
dered to the agency.
On the evening of Lords arrival
at the agency lie met young brave
who had cut himself up more than
usual in the dance. Lord asked
him in a contemptuous voice if he
thought he was a brave man, tC
which the Indian replied with a
gutteral ugh. The officer then
told him if he and the other Indians
wanted to see an exhibition OF the
white mans bravery they shoult
come into the agency at certain
time the next day.
At the appointed time Lord en-
tered the room, to find it we'll filled
with Indians, sitting or rather
squatting on the floor. Going into
the middle of the room he talked t
the Indians about their sun dance
and their bravery in a contemptu
Gus manner and wound up by call
ing them lot of old women, which

MURDER OR SUICIDE
Dock Walker, of MT. Pelia, Tenn.
Disappears.

Dock Walker, of Mt. Pelia, Tenn,
Disappears.
The case of Dock Walker bids
fair to be a more interesting one
than was at first thought.
Ms. Walker is young business
man 80 years of age and has wife
and Eve small children in Mt. Pel1a,
where he runs a small saw mill.
He is a very popular, strict in
morals, temperance man, and never
before was away from his home fol-
long at time. The murder theo-
nv is based on. the fact that some
bad characters near his home knew
that he was coming to this city for
large sum of money, and the sui
eide theory is based on his disap.
pointment when he failed to get
the money. The story of his fnan-
cial difficulty, as told by his old
friend, r. A Miner, of South Full
ton, is as follows:
II have always known Dock,
is a good, honest boy bit has play
ed in hard luck. He first run a
large flour mill and failing in that
went into the saw mill business.
He came here and spent Wednes-
day night with me. He wanted me
to back a note for him at the bank,
but l told him that was getting
old and lived good ways from him
and didn't see how | could do it.
In reply to me he said: My God,
Uncle Bob, if you go back on me it
is all up. l am ruined tried to
get him to stay to dinner Thurs
day, but he replied that he would
be home to dinner l think he has
either been killed by someone who
thought he had the money or has
made away with himself on &C
count of bad financial conditions. "
Mayor Miner and all who knew
the young man are very sad over
the affair, and are doing all IN
their power to find some clue as to
his whereabouts.
The Mt. Pelia and Martin friends
of Walker are securing the woods
in search of evidence of foul play.
The fact that his horse has not
showed up inclines many to the
theory of murder.-Fulton Leader.
