TRENTON, Mar. 30:-The eyes of
every republican In New Jersey, and
of many democrats, too, will be turn
ed toward the legislative chambers
at Trenton this week. A crisis has
arisen in the conduct of the affairs of
the republican party, and it remains
to be seen whether those legislators
who were selected by majority of
the citizens Of the state to represent
them in the lawmaking bodies will
be true to their trust and endeavor
to carry out the pledges of the plat
form on which they were elected. or
whether they will bow to the will of
a self-appointed coterie of leaders,
who look upon platform as the
means of furnishing good material
for campaign orators, but as a thing
to be forgotten after election.
Governor Fort, by the stand he has
taken, has made himself the most
popular republican in New Jersey,
not with the bosses, perhaps, but
with the people; and, after all, 1t is
the citizen who deposits his vote in
the ballot box on election day who
carries the most weight when the
final analysis is reached.
But while the governor is insistent
on the redemption of pledges, he is

Alcohol Must Be Pure.

DIR. S. J. Crumbine, secretary of the
state board of health, has sent out a
letter notifying the wholesale drug
gists who supply the Kansas trade
that they must not ship into Kansas
any alcohol that is below the standard
requirements unless labels are pro-
vided showing it's strength. 1t has
been found that many wholesale drug
gists were shipping diluted alcohol
into Kansas and that this was being
used by druggists as a standard arti-
Gle. The druggists did not know that
the alcohol was below standard and
that whenever they used it they vio-
lated the pure food law. Alcohol which
contains more than 81 per cent of
water must bear labels showing how
much it is diluted.

the title of a new book, and if you

glishman came to Kansas in 1855, To-
eating in Leavenworth. Here he hires
out his slaves, takes a loan on a gam
bling he'll for 1000, and joins a COM
pany of Border Ruffians under the
command of "Davy Atchison" Great
smoke! That's the man we are named
for)- They capture Lawrence, then
under the command of Governor Rob-
inson," who threw up the sponge with
out a struggle The hero of the tale
then fights John Brown at Lone
jack and mixed a little love with his
adventures by court and marrying
Margaret Hendricks, on Stranger
creek. The book. which is published
in London, frequently mentions the
town of "Olathy,'' and locates "Atchi-
SON. in Missouri. First we are named
for the leader of the Border Ruffians,
and then he locates US in Missouri.
That is Too Much. All his facts are
distorted, and not a date is correct.

one adventuresome; what a pity that

Coal Near podae City.

From statements made by parties
whose veracity can not be questioned,
it would appear that coal has been
found in good quantities north and
south of Dodge City. Arthur Ore
baugh of Hodgeman county reports
that coal had been struck by a new
settler 80 miles north of Dodge City at
a depth of about $50 feet while drill
ing a well for water. Mr.. H Sites
and daughter, who live in the same
neighborhood, corroborated the state
ment of Mr.. Orebaugh and claimed
that the vein was seven feet, the coal
being in excellent quality of bitumi-
nous. George Redfield from Cave,
Gray county, reports the discovery of
a six-foot vein of coal at a depth of
lis feet on the farm of George Slo-
cum, who lives near the Ford line.
Mr.. Slocum had several drillings made
and found coal in all of the holes prac-
tically at the same depth. At the To-
cality where this coal was found is
within a mile of the Ford county line
it is highly probable that the vein ex-
tends into this county. The coal fields
on the north are very close to Jet
more, the terminus of a branch of the
Santa Fee, and the coal discovered in
Gray county is about ten miles from
the Rock Island railroad and about is
miles from the Santa Fe.

The Warmest January.

six degrees above normal. The warm
~eSt spot in the state reporting was
