WE LEAD IN COAL.

Returns made to the United States
Geological Survey show that the Unit
ed States has again exceeded all pre-
vious records in the production of
coal. The forthcoming report on the
country's coal production, which Mr..
E. w. Parker, statistician, will soon
make, will show that the total output
of the coal mines of this country in
1903 amounted to 359, 421,31 short
tons. This is an increase of $780,
S72 short tons, or 10 per cent, over
the production of 1902, which amount
ed to 301, 590,439 tons. The produc-
ton Of 1903 was nearly double that of
1898, and more than three times the
output of 1888. The increase of pro-
duction in 1903 over 1902 was equal
to the total production of all kinds of
coal in 1878, only twenty-five years
ago.
Large and significant as was the in
crease in the amount of coal produced
the increase in the value Of the pro-
duct was still more noticeable. The
value of the coal product at the mines
in 1903 amounted to $506, 100, 1913,
which compared with the value of the
output in 1902 ($367 ,032, O69), shows
an increase of s139,15S, 664, or nearly
3S per cent. The percentage Of in
crease in value was almost exactly
double that of the increase In produc.
tion-a significant fact which social
scientists may interpret as they
please.
or the total production in 1903, "a
3l3.919 short tons (66,351,713 long
tons) represent Pennsylvania antnra-
cite. valued at $152,036,44S. This is
in contrast to the production Of 1902,
when the output was curtailed by the
prolonged strike in the anthracite re-
gions and reached only 41,373,596
short tons (36,940710 long tons) val
ued at $76,173,5s6. The Increase in
anthracite production in 1903 over the
production Of the previous year was
32,940,S24 short tons (29,411, 003 long
tons) or nearly 80 per cent in quan.
tity, and $75,s62,s62, OF nearly 100 per
cent in value. The production of BIZ
luminous coal (Which includes Ignite.
or brown coal, semi-anthracite, semi.
bituminous and camel coal, and scat
tering lots of anthracite) amounted to
2S5,lO7,Ss2 short tons. valued at
1854 ,l54,2 S5. which, as compared with
1902. when the production was 2an !.
1854 short tons, valued at $3.50, s5S,.

ceased, being the children of do
ceased son, Samuel B. Walton, who
died at Forest Home in 1881. These
grandsons are we'll known in the busI.
ness and the social life Of the city.
The deceased was one Of the very
few of the pioneer business men re-
siding in the city. Contemporary with
him in the early business Of the little
city of the later sixties and early sew
entities were number of firms whose
names were household words, Faxon

Green, H. w Trask & Co, f. II. Lor-
ing, Henry Howard. and the pioneer
banker, John White. Of whom the de-
ceased was an intimate personal
friend.
Father Walton was Christian man
and his whole life bears the evidence
and the testimony Of upright living.
For upwards Of sixty years he was
member of and an elder of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church.
The deceased through the latter
years Of his life, though called upon
to bear the burden imposed by the
loss of his sight, lived patiently, see
ing through the eyes Of others, and
always maintaining keen interest in
the life of the world He was a use
full man and citizen and Oskaloosa has
felt the influence of his work and
worth in many ways. The old gentle
man has for years been but little

a little world of his own. Cared for

been ever faithful, his was

BRYAN ON PARKER.

No longer ago than June of the pres
ent year Hon. William ]. Bryan, in a
speech delivered in Chicago, declared
Judge Parker not only unavailable
but absolutely unfit as presidential
candidate. Mr.. Bryan found his reas-
ons for these declarations not in
Judge Parker's personality, but in his
position upon public questions 1t is
worth while to recall at this time
some Of the things Mr.. Bryan said in
that address. Remarking upon the
fact that Judge Parker had been urg-
ed to speak out and declare himself
upon the important issues of the cam
paign Mr.. Bryan went on to say:
eff this silence meant that nobody
knew his views, those who have been
loyal to the party in recent years
would stand upon an equal footing
with those who deserted, but it is evil
dent now that while to the public gen.
orally his views are unknown they
are we'll known to those who are urg-
ing his nomination. Whatever doubt
may have existed on this subject here
tofore has been dispelled by plat
form adopted by the New York state
convention, and taking this platform
as a text I am sanguine enough to
believe that can prove to every un-
biased mind that Judge Parker is not
a fit man to be nominated either by
the democratic party or by any other
party i'tJt that stands forshapesty and fair
dealings in politics. I can not n6fe to
convince those who favor deception
