A VEIN OF
PURE COAL

The McMiChael Coal Company, which
has been prospecting in the vicinity of
Jerseytown for year past, has sue
ceeded in striking vein of pure coal
while all the indications point to
larger veins near at hand.
The McMichael Coal Company is COM
posed of farmers and others residing
in the vicinity of Jerseytown. Many
of those, old residents, all their lives
cherished the belief that coal III pay
ing quantities existed in the hills
thereabout. They were encouraged in
this view by the reports of mineralo-
gists and practical miners, who from
time to time visited the spot
1t was on the McMichael farm near
Jerseytown that the best outcrop
ping occurred The expense of dig
giug with the uncertainty of reward
which always goes with prospecting
for coal precluded individual effort
and led to the formation of a small
company.
About a year ago work was begun
on tunnel. As the digging progress
ed the indications of coal renamed
present. but there was nothing especi-
ally encouraging. During the winter
the work was abandoned. Since April
lst digging was resumed.
In short time the black rock or
slate began to glisten with the prop
critics of coal. Day by day the indica-
tions of coal grew stronger and last
week the company was rewarded by
striking vein OF pure coal
The drift or tunnel at present has
penetrated the hill to the depth of
some forty five feet. The vein discov-
cred is a large one. Among those en-
ployed are two mining experts. who
see nothing in the surroundings to dis
courage the belief that they are on the
of deposit of good coal,
which NAV underlic a-large territory.

Very Annoying to Some People.


People that are known to be weak
and sickly, by their neighbors, are
asked the question every day whether
they are feeling better. Do you feel
stronger? Are you gaining flesh?
Their friends know If they are gain
ing flesh, it is one Of the sure signs
of returning health. If they can only
get a remedy that will make solid
flesh, recovery is assured. People
with nervous troubles, loss of flesh and
strength, no ambition, languid, and
always tired have thin watery blood
The food they eat does not nourish
them, it does not make blood. II
after each meal they would take DR..
Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic, their
food would be turned into rich, red
blood, making solid flesh and strength
The tablets are sold in boxes by all
druggists for rs cts. or 3 boxes for $2
People who use this tonic gain in
solid flesh from 1 to 3lbs. per week,
they feel better and know they are
on the road to health.

Among the numerous superstitions OF

is widely prevalent, 1t is said, in all

When seen Monday night, Commits
sfoner Ware refused to discuss his &C.

For at least one year, however, it has
been definitely known that Mr.. Ware
would retire from his Office soon after
the fall elections, and return to his
home in Kansas to resume his law
practice. 1t is believed here that Com

any suggestion that the severance OF
his relations with the pension office
would be agreeable to the president.
On the contrary, it has been no secret
that Commissioner Ware, soon after
assuming his duties, found the duties
OF his Office distasteful to him, and
that this distaste steadily increased.
There is no intimation as to who his
successor will be-"

Dixon Murder Mystery.

years old, was found dead in a deep
hollow tree about three miles east OF
Dixon. He had evidently been u
dered and carried some distance on a
horse and placed in the secluded hol-
low. Leaves had been placed around
him and set afire, but after partly
burning one side of his body and cloth
ing had gone out. Young Smith had
recently purchased so acres of land
nea Pisga church, four miles east Of

thought, was murdered that night. No

cept that the murderer may have
thought he had considerable money on
his person.

rules of the bank, and am held person
ally responsible for them by the bank
officers.
mot one cent Of the money was ever
used by myself. The transactions
were not made directly nor indirectly
with any expectations of personal gains
nor profits.
"The shortage in no way affects the
financial condition of the St. Charles
savings bank. The institution is just
as solid as ever, and is perfectly able
to meet all of its obligations"
The amount of the alleged shortage
has not been given. out yet, the state
bank examiner having arrived this att
ernoon. The officials of the bank can
not state what the alleged shortage Is,
but say that the bonds of the former
cashier are amply sufficient to cover
n shortage that may be found.
The bank is paying all depositors
who axis for their money.

resided for many years at o'Fallon. He
failed there in the milling business. II
