This part OF the county has been
suffering somewhat for rain during the
past week, the ground being so dry that
it has cracked open. There is differ
ence of opinion as to whether rain now
would be of any benefit to the corn,
as the ears are going out OF the milk
and may be past the point where
moisture would do any good Consid-
ering the lateness of the season it is
quite possible that weather which has
tens the ripening of the corn is of more
benefit than such as would keep it
green and growing. OF course the fall
pastures are the losers by the protract-
ed dry spell.

R. Campbell, OF this city, an automo-
bile enthusiast, has been sued for $500
by Chris Halligan, well TO do farmer
for causing his team to run away. Mr..
Halligan suffered personal injuries in
addition to the wreck of his carriage.
The apparent recklessness of automo-
bile drivers has aroused the ire of the
ruralites who are taking occasion to
bring suit whenever grounds are af-
forded. To add interest to the situa-
ton, Mayor Duncon1be has offered a
reward of $25 for information which
will convict careless persons throwing
glass bottles on the pavement. Half
of this sum goes to the informant.

Unless the railroads insist on it there
is likely to be nothing done on the
cream rates in Iowa. The railroad
commission issued an order stopping
the roads from increasing the rates as
they had announced they would do on
September /. There is quite healthy
sentiment for leaving the rates as they
are and at least for no increase. Both
the big and the small creamery seem to
be satisfied with the rates as they are.

by rail but hauls in by wagon.
If the railroads which are endeavor-
ing to make an increase in the rate all

hearing there will have to be one
but there is no certainty but that the
commission may lower the rates as a
result Of the hearing rather than per-
NIT an increase.

Connecticut Shore Town Stations Broken Into and Robbed
 Last Night.

Branford, Dec 4.-The railroad stations, both here and at Pine Or chard, were broken into during the night, but as nothing of value is left in the stations, the robbers only sue ceeded in getting way with little change from the gum and weighing machines and some clothing belong ing to the station mater. The bur glars entered both stations by break ing out a window, then proceeded to ransack all the drawers, safes and any place that might contain some thing of value. No explosives were used as the safes were not locked, a notice to that effect being posted in prominent place and evidently being seen by. the robbers. After leaving the Brarford station, at which place a bicycle was left, the two robbers, according to footprints in the snow, proceeded in an easterly direction.

DISCOVERY OF COAL.
Mentioned by Jesuit In 1879 and
 Mined First In 1749.

Mentioned by a Jesuit In 1879 and
 Mined First In 1749.
 So far as known the first mention of the occurrence of coal in the United States is contained in the journal of Father Hennepin, a Jesuit missionary, who in 1679 recorded 'cole mine" on Illinois river near the present city Of Ottawa, III.
 Coal was first mined in the Rich mond basin! Virginia. about seventy years after Father Hennepin's discov- cry in Illinois, but the first records of production from the Virginia mines were for the year 1922, when, accord ing to one authority, 54,O00 tons were mined.
 Ohio probably ranks second in prior- ity of production. as coal was dlscov- cred there in 1755, but the records of production date back only to 1888.
 The mining of anthracite fin Pennsyl- vania began about 1790, and it is said that fifty-fve tons were shipped to Co., lumbia, Pa, in 1897. Reports of the anthracite coal trade are usually begun with the year 1920, when 3G5 tons, one for each day of the year, were shipped to Philadelphia from the Lehigh re- zion. Before this, however. in 1874, a shipment of twenty-two tons was made from Cnrbondale, also to Philadelphia. It is probable that the actual produc- tion prior to 1920 was between 2,5O0 and 5000 Washington Star.
