that it will demoralize the mining in
terests of the city, that it will force
many of us to leave here for other
fields as has been our experience, before
this time and it will seriously damage
the interests of local merchants. We
believe that the citizens will find it to
their best interests not to ruin the coal
mines.''
Abraham Walker, president of the To-
cal Miners union, also addressed the
council stating that he represented the
same interests as Mr.. Graham, that he
believed the introduction of natural gas
would ruin the mines and drive out the
miners. He then touched on the sub
ject of the discovery of the So inch coal
vein under Atchison and said that il
the city had money to appropriate it
should go toward helping the mine
owners to explore to the level of this
vein and produce such coal as would
increase the output Of the local mines
a great deal and make this city min
ing center.
Councilman Garrett introduced the
new ordinance presented by Douglass
Burnett, ct al, as soon as the $1,000 pro-
position had been adversely decided,
and it was read for the first time. AS

MAY GET NEW COACH.
Northwestern Is Planning to Secure
GUY NJ. johnson.

Guy NJ. johnson.
Chicago, Jan. 2O.-Two develop
nents in Northwestern athletics be-
came public yesterday-both sur
prises. One is gratifying in the ex-
IRENE and the other considerably less
SO. The gratifying circumstance was
the announcement, unoficially, that
Guy M. johnson probably would be
secured as baseball coach: the less
satisfactory news was the resignation
of Arthur B. Fleager, 81, as North
uate committee of the college confer
ence and chairman of that committee.
No reason has been advanced by
Fleager for his resignation, except
that he thinks he has held the posi-
ton long enough. He is a lawyer, and
it is probable he desires to devote
more time to his practice.
In johnson Northwestern will have
a high class baseball player of long
experience as a winning college pitch
er and of wide experience on profess
sionaI teams. Johnson was the lead
ing twirler in the Michigan Intercol-
legiate association during his career at
Kalamazoo college a few years ago.
He afterward signed with the Boston
Nationals, but was never given a trial.
He has pitched for other league
teams having been with Louisville
and Milwaukee. At present Johnson
is studying medicine at the University
of Michigan and last season gave some
of his time to helping Jerry Utley
coach the wolverines. Johnson knows
the game thoroughly and has the
haDpy faculty of being able to in
strl1ct college players along the lines
in which they are most deficient.

A PATHETIC MEETING.
Two Veterans of the Civil War Meet
After 81 Years.


Parsons, Kan, Jan. pa number Of
passengers who were in waiting at the
Katy station witnessed a pathetic sight
in the reunion of two civil war veterans,
who had not met since 1854. The locks of
both were white as the snow that lies up
on the earth. Each was bent with age
and neither has the promise Of any great
extension to life.
The manner in which the two veterans
met is worth recOunting and proved very
interesting to those who witnessed it,
I want to go to Joplin, said one of the
men to the other Can you tell me what
train to take2'

Piled the first questioner.
The other explained that he was also a
soldier and naturally the two men told
where they had served during the war. It
developed that they NA,re both in the
same regiment Later they discovered that
they had both been in the same company.
Then an explanation and identification
followed. The two hoary-h headed men
looked at each other in blank amazement
for half minute. Then, as if moved by
common impulse, they were clasped in
each Others arms. The tears rolled down
the wrinkled cheeks of those two veterans
of many ba tiles and to tell the truth the
eyes of several spectators were moistened
with prodigal drops.
The two men were bound in different d.
rections and soon separated, but not UNI
til they had agreed to meet again in the
near future
