Further than that, every man in the county is benefited by the paper, whether he is a subscriber or not. The editor does more for the de yelopment of the country than any other one man, if he has the good of the country at heart. Don't figure that he has to be an editor to make a living either. The majority of them can do other things too. So, as you are getting benefit from the county paper don't you think you ought to sub.

VEGETARIAN LUMP OF COAL.
1t Shows Where 1t Was Wood, Then
Charcoal. Then Anthracite.

Tamaqua, Pa. July 1.-THE theory
that coal Is nothing more than vege-
table matter which in the ages gone by
was subjected to a great heat and be-
came petrified was practically proven
today by Thomas Stapleton, a veteran
miner. and a recognized authority on
all matters pertaining to coal and
mining.
Stapleton paid a visit to the Green
wood mine, where the Lehigh Coal &
Navigation company is fighting a fire
that has been raging since 1857. In a
section where it is estimated the fire
had burned for fully 80 years Staple
ton found a piece of what had at one
time been wood but which had, by
reason of the intense heat and the
gases arising therefrom turned into
coal.
A portion of the wood resembles
charcoal. but the other portion had
become metamorphosed into brittle
shining anthracite.

Rival FOR STOCKTON.
New Town to Be Founded by Gulf,
PIainVilIe & Northern.

A rival for the town of Stockton is
the first thing which the promoters of
the proposed Gulf, Plainvilie & North
ern railroad have on their programme.
They have sent out announcements
for the new town of Hobart. at a point
in Rocks county where their new rail-
road will intersect the Union Pacific.
The unique feature of the proposed
new town is that the lots will be dis
tr1buted by chance. A large tract CT
land has been purchased by the rail-
road company, and surveyed into town
lots. the lots on main street being %
by 144 feet, and those on other streets
so by IA feet. Lots are to be sold
a the uniform price of $3.50, but the
purchaser can not select his own loca-
ton They viii be decided entirely by
chance. The railroad company will have
some disinterested parties on hand on
the day of the drawing, and every man
who has bought a lot or lots, viii get
an equal chance to have his lots on
Main street or somewhere else. The
speculative feature is expected to bring
forth a lot of competition for the lots,
and excursion trains will be run to the
town Of Hobart on the day of the lot
terry.
The time for that event has not been
selected. but announcements of the plan
are being circulated by the railroad
company throughout the western half
of the state.
miles southeast of Stockton. and as 1t
viii be at the junction of two railroad
lines one of them a north and south
line, the promoters Of the town expect
it will outstrip the county seat town
in a few years.
The Gulf. Plainville & Northern rail-
road has its headquarters at Plainville
Kan. 9. G. Cochran, a Rocks county
banker. is the president. and n. F.
Shaw is secretary. Tt is proposed to
build the line from the new town of
Hobart to Norton, through the towns
of Webster and Densmore. Some peo-
pie think that it is Missouri Pacific
project. and that it is intended to pick
up the tag ends of the Stockton branch
and the Central branch ana furnish
them a north and south connection.

johnson. fire chief. was the victim
early this morning of a peculiar acct
dent which may result in his death.
He dreamed that an alarm of fire had
been sounded. and, springing from his
bed, began cropping for the sliding pole
that led to the room below. Hardly
had he touched the floor when there
came a genuine alarm. which only half
awakened the chief. He sprang for
the pole, but, still being under the in
f1uence of the dream. missed his hold
and fell to the floor below. = distance
of thirteen feet. His condition is
critical.

INTERPRET PASS LAW.
Railroads Appoint Legal and Traffic
Department Committees.

Chicago July 17.-Exe cutive Of
fcials and general counsel of every
railroad west of Chicago held con
ference here with view Of determin-
ing the meaning of all of the pro-
visions of the new rate law. J. Q.
Stubs. traffic director of the Harri-
man lines, presided at the conference
and outlined the purpose of the gath
ering. 1t developed, however. that
there were almost as many views re-
garding the Interpretation of the
statutes as there were lawyers and
traffic men present. It was decided
therefore to appoint two committees
one of the traffic and one of the legal
men. The traffic men are to meet and
arrange their plans for carrying the
law into effect and whenever they en-
counter a provision that they are I'M
able to solve they are to call on the
legal committee for opinions. In the
m eantime the committee of lawyers is
to hold MEETINGS and determine what
they consider the statute requires.
The committees are made UP as fol-
