The presence of large coal field
right below this city should re-
ceive the attention of our capital
lists. 1t is said upon the best OF au-
thority that the oil wells have uni
formly showed an eight and nine
foot vein of excellent coal only one
hun dred and fifty feet below the
surface. The development of this
coal would be big thing for the
city and county. If these assertions
are true, there Is mine of wealth
there for the people whose energy
brings the black diamonds to the
market. One of the great troubles
seems to be that the realty owners
refuse to give any sort of reason
able terms for options and the mat.
ter Is thus hard to handle. We
trust better counsel will prevail.
and that In few months another
source of prosperity will be In full
operation In Tyler county.

News come from Washington
that the officials of the weather bu-
reau have been decrylng the ability
and authority of the grounding as
a weather prophet. They say that
they have been keeping tab on Mr..
Woodchuck for tine past ten years
and that only twice In that time has
he hit the weather correctly. They
therefore advised him to go out of
business and recommend that the
public cease to place faith In his
representations. 1t Is natural, of
course, that the weather bureau
off Gals should act thus. It Is con-
trary to human nature that they
should rot be jealous of prophet
that has tor SO long held promi-
nent place in the confidence and
affection of the people. They are
In the same business and for a
number of years have been attempt
Ing through large expenditure of
the government money to establish
a foothold in the prophecy line. but
in spite of all their scientific para
phernalia and learned talk about
meteoro ogical conditions, the
grounding has persisted In stick
ing to his calling. and year after
year be has furnished the country
with prophecies without cent of
expense to the taxpayers.
1t might be expected on this &C
count that the weather officials
would be little inclined to spare
him add that they would be ready
to make almost any assertion to his
discredit; but 1t should be borne in
mind that though they have VOL
vmous records which can be In
voked to prove almost anything,
these records having been made by
themselves In their own interest
and without any conference or
oversight on the part of the ground
hog or his friends, they would be
utterly worthless III the court and
would be rejected as ex-parte and
irrelevant. The grounding is the
original American weather prophet
and 1t will take many years of eff
fort by the parvenu Bweather de-
partment to discredit his we'll
earned reputation.

In this age OF unusual writing and

This has been built on modern plans,

Rev. W. B. Beauchamp stated yester-
day that he had been misunderstood by
the reporter for another paper. who
quoted him as expressing a determination
to expose the witnesses summoned IN con-
nection with the recent gambling cases.
Mr.. Beauchamp said he had no idea
whatsoever of proclaiminS the names OF
these witnesses, a thing which. he thinks
under ordinary circumstances, really
should not be done. What he said at the
Chamber Of Commerce meeting was thai
he and several other ministers felt thai

of the names with the cases was mere
Incident. What the ministers wanted was
a thorough airing of the gambling situa.
tion. If. in securing this end. it became
necessary to publish the names of the
witnesses. it should be done.
In the opinion of Mr.. Beauchamp II
would be highly improper. even If hs
wished to do such thing, as read list
Of the witnesses from his pulpit. Tha,
he meant to do this is the natural infer.
ence from the words attributed to hin
