Cleveland Ohio, has abandoned the
old system of prosecution and fines for
the abatement of the smoke nuisance.
because it did not seem to lessen the
evil, and it has adopted instead an
educational and persuasive plan. Un.
der the latter there are now said to be
200 improved furnaces in operation,
and all new boiler-houses which are
being erected are equipped with smoke
consumers. The railroads entering
the city have also been persuaded to
attach similar appliances to their To-
comotives, which are proving econom-
ical and helping to purify the citys at,

The energy in the quantity of, coal
mined in 1900 is estimated by a writer
in Cassier's Magazine as equivalent to
the work of 3,00O,0OO,OOO men during
the year. This triples the natural en-.
ergy Of the race-in fact, more than
triples it, for it is as if the work of
two able bodied men were added to
the sum of human energy for every
man woman and child. And these ad-
dltional workers-the coal units
make no demands for food or clothing.

The Alfred Millenary suggests TO
the London Standard a connection be-
tween the work of the great king and
the traits of the American people. 1t
says alfred was one of the first rul-
ers to embody in concrete acts the
thought that the common people have
a right to be consulted about the great
business of government. When for
eign force threatened his country with
destruction, when lawlessness threat
ened to sweep away civilization, he
appealed to the people, and they heard
and followed him gladly. He was one
OF the first rulers to reduce to every
lay practice that conception of liberty
regulated by law which the American
nation has so conspicuously and sue
cessfully applied to human affairs. He
saw that human rights were greater
than the will of kings, and in the ligh.
of that truth he lived and acted"

fondness for flattery which seems
to be an attribute of all such
peculiar geniuses--and as nice
things were not said about him
fast enough, by his newspaper
contemporaries, in the council
chamber of his egotistic to albrain,
"Bassoon" was born. The spec
ial mission of Bassoon, judged by
his printed words, was to say all
the tlattering things possible
about certain musical entertain
ments, and to fling bouquets at
the feet of MAN About Town.
Emanating from the same
source, straw men were set up
one week by IN. A. b." to be
knocked down the next week by
Bassoon, who, however, took care
always to glorify the creator of
the straw man, while tossing his
corpse on padded horns. But,
the restless spirit that fathered
these two worthless, is constantly
seeking change, and, so recently,
the modest, motherly, mabel
was born. She was born of the
vanity of IN. A. B." and the
fawning hypocrisy of "Bassoon"
She was nurtured at the bosom of
egotism, with the milk of inor-
dinate self-conceit, and made her
first appearance IN print in a thin
ly yelled slur at n social organi-
zation at whose hands her worthy
dual progenitor had received
courtesies beyond his deserts.
She is strikingly modest
dame and sees much of vulgarity
in your "Uncle Johns" former
letter, So modest and innocent
is this virtuous lady that l can
readily see the crimsCned ban
ners of outraged modesty REDEEM
ing neck and cheek and brow at the
mere mention of the naked truth.
She don t know why a street clean
er should not be a leader of soci-
ETY., but she knows that working
men who come from work, knock
the dirt out of their shoes and call
for the paper in the evening should
not discourse on the different
phases Of society"

y Her labored witticisms at the
expense of your Uncle John do not
even contain the little rivulet of
truth that is sometimes found in
the Sahara of falsehood with
which he. she or it is so fond of
beguiling a credulous public.
Uncle John has no desire to
take ethical culture from a Nab
ell who drinks beer, cultivates a
studied hypocrisy, courts notice
to the point of nauseation and
parades madly in lions skin
that is too small to conceal his or
her asinine ears.
Uncle John would perhaps
"look queer trying to pass him
self off as one of the bloods," but
his old fashioned ideas of chiva-
Try will ever prevent his hiding
behind a woman's skirts in order
to fool the public into reading q
lot of driveling nonsense.

COKE COUNTY.
One Of the Best In This Section-Its
Advantages and Resources
TruthfuIIy Described.

Bronte, Coke County Texas,
June 2, 1902.
To the PRESS:
The leading and most popular
journal in West Texas: AS the
PRESS has very large circulation
l will family attempt to tell of
some of the opportunities our
county offers.
This section of the Lone Star
state is daily enhancing in value,
and attracting the attention of
capitalists and investors. Coke
county is equidlstant between the
Texas d Pacific and Santa Fe
rail roads from Temple to San
Angelo. 1t is equidistant to Colo
RADIO City, Sweetwater, Ballinger
and San Angelo, and is a pretty
mountainous country, with the
finest and most fertile valley and
creek and river lands in West
Texas.
Lands range in prices from So
up to SIS per acre. Nearly all
of the country is under fence, as
pastures and farms, and cannot
be excelled any where by scenic
beauty, fertility, good water and
excellent health, while its people
are up-to-date, generous and in
dustrious. There are no large
stocks of cattle nor large farms.
Last season Coke county made
200O bales of cotton; this year
1000 bales will be expected, and
though the corn crop was short,
we made a fair wheat and oat
crop, while the grass and sorghum
was good. Several thousand
acres of new land was put in cul-
tivation this season, and all crops
are most promising. We had a
mild and short winter, and early
spring gardens and fruits are fine.
Coke county is full of minerals,
such as iron, coal, coal oil, gold
and copper in abundance, and as
the Kansas City, Mexico & Orient
passes through the east part of
the county, it will have transport
tation facilities that are unexcell-
ed. Robert Lee, the county site,
is beautifully nestled on the north
bank of the Colorado river, from
which it is we'll supplied with
fresh, living water, by a system
of water works. 1t has a popula-
ton of about 800, a localoption
town, amid range of mountains
that make it an important city to
this section, like Waco is to
Houston, Dallas and Austin, and
when the oil fields are developed
Robert Lee will be sin the swim"
with it's large institute of learning,
presided over by Prof. Evans and
an able faculty as any in Texas ;
with it's rapid increasing popula-
ton, its Coke County Rustler
newspaper, it's we'll patronized
business houses, shops, hotels,
livery stables and all necessities,
etc., to insure it a bright future.
1t is only in need of a bank and
factories to make it a West Texas
metropolis.
Bronte, the next town of size
and note, is located in the east
part of the county, near the
Colorado river, amid the fertile
valleys of that stream and the
Kickapoo creek. This renders il
a place of more than local i'm

ALAMEDA MINES.

The Alameda Mining Cos proper
ties are near Rogue river, Josephine
county. in the Galice mining dis
trict. and consist of four full quartz
claims and 50 acres of rich gravel
lands. The company purchased the
entire holdings from the original
overs and locators. The most strik-
ing feature of the Galice district is
the mammoth ledge which passes
through the cou,pany's property and
known as the Big Yank ledge.
Bonanza and Monte Cristo Claims,
500 feet in width by 1900 feet in
length, are a continuation Of the Big
Yank ledge. This ledge has a slate
hanging wall and another of a syenite
foot wall. The vein matter,
BLUSH quartz with iron sulphurets,
assaying 50 to $50 to the ton, as depth
is gained, changes to sulphides Of
copper and retains its gold values.
Development work on these two
claims is by three tunnels and several
open cuts. At 1870 feet in, a cIosscut
was run 40 feet each way and neither
wall was reached At the greatest
depth from the surface, l25 feet, assays
give values of $40 to Sl7 in gold, cop
per and silver values to the ton As
depth is gained by driving in of the
tunnel, the ore increases in value, in
dicating the approach to shoot of
high grade ore. Other openings far
ther up the montain show mineralized
quartz
Live Yankee and Yankee Doodle
claims, konw as the Rocky Gulch
mine, are developed by two tunnels,
one 1870 feet and the other l05 feet.
Work so far proves conclusively that
this portion of the Alameda Com
pany's property is the same as the Big
Yank lead, and further proofs are also
found in the assays, This company
has just let the contract for the run
