wedding is of more than usual impor-

Testimonials from LeavenwOrth
People
P. E. Galloway, local manager for
the Shaver News Co., says: I had
been wearing glasses for over three
years and was told by eminent eye
specialists that l could not get on with
out them. DR.. J. H. Coventry treated
my eyes and now 1 can see as we'll as
ever for ordinary work without glasses.
I use pair of glasses that he adjusted
to my sight for reading and other close
application Of the eyes, that give better
satisfaction than others l have had
fitted by well known specialists"
A. H. Blake says: Il have been
wearing glasses for three years. DR..
Coventry treated my eyes and now l
am getting on without glasses"
Thomas Burke says: Il had spent
week in Seattle and had my eyes
treated by what l was told was the best
eye specialist in the city without re-
ceiving any benefit. I was induced to
give DR.. Coventry trial and he gave
me great benefit. He also adjusted
glasses to my eyes that enable me to
read perfectly"
There are many more citizens in and
around Leavenworth who might be
referred to, among them ]. B. Adams.
DR.. Coventry's Office is at his resi-
dence, which is the old Turner place.
If you have trouble with your eyes call
and consult him. If treatment will
benefit you he will tell you. If you
need glasses he will tell you. Not every
one who wears glasses actually requires
them. Treatment will in many cases
obviate the use Of glasses. Is

Of his own work, he spent working on
the church. Not only this, but he,
with w. E. Boston and Frank Wilcox,
the two other trustees, has been per-
sonally liable for the debt.
The gifts to the Leavenworth church
have been smaller than those to the
Peshastin church, but the sacrifice on
the part of the donors was nevertheless
just as great. The trustees have stood
Loyalty by the pastor, not only contrib
uting largely, but also signing notes
making themselves personally respon-
sible for the indebtedness. This was
not the pastors first experience at
church building, but it was the first
time he ever asked the trustees to
be personally responsible for the debt,
and they did it in the case of both
churches without murmur. God
bless them for it!
We now consider the struggling days
OF the Methodist church in Leaven-
worth are over. We are now on a
solid financial basis with a membership
of about one hundred and two well
organized churches. Within two years
of the organization of the Leavenworth
church we were occupying our own
building, and within one year of the
organization of the Peshastin church
we had church built. We must now
put ourselves to the task of filling these
churches with eager worshippers. God
has signally blest our labors so far and
with his continued favor we hope to dc
our full share in the work of the re-
demption of Leavenworth. We thank
everyone who has in any way contrib
uted of their time and money to make
these churches possibility.

SUGAR TRUST INQUIRY.

A variety of plans have been sug-
gested in congress already for an in
vestigation Of the scandalous opera
lions of the sugar trust by con-
gressional committee. If action is
taken along any one of these. lines it
will be in direct opposition to the
ideas of President Taft in the
premises. and his position in this re-
spect appears to be a most terable
one.
In his recent message he devoted
special attention to the sugar trust
frauds and pointed out that in its
monetary settlement with the govern
ment for the custom duties which it
had fraudulently evaded, there was
an express reservation in the contract
of settlement by which the settlement
should not interfere with. or prevent
the criminal prosecution of everyone
who was found to be subject TO the
same. The president called attention
to the fact that some such prosecu-
lions were now under way and chat
the treasury department and the de-
partment of justice were "exerting
every effort to discover all the wrong
doors, including the officers and en-
have been privy to the fraud
at would seem to me- added Mr..
Taft, "that an investigation of the
frauds by congress at present, pend
ing the probing by the treasury de-
partment and the department of JUS
tice, as proposed, might by giving
immunity and otherwise prove an en-
barrassment in securing conviction of
the guilty parties
That is exactly the way, IN all
probability, that a congressional in
quiry into this subject would work cut
at the present time. 1t would seem
that the governmental proceedings
already under way in this particular
are resulting satisfactorily. It is evil
dent from that part of the presidents
statement. last quoted, that the de-
partments of the treasury and justice
have a line on some of the Officers"
of the sugar companies who may be
criminally liable for the actual fraud
ulent acts of their employees. 1t is to
be presumed that among the first
persons a congressional investigation
committee would call would De the
officers of the sugar company. Testi-
mony might be secured from them
which would render them immune
from criminal prosecution, and thus
the efforts now under way to bring
them to justice might be foiled A
congressional inquiry into this affair
may be desirable, but it ought to be
postponed, at least, until the treasury
department and the department of
justice have concluded the investiga-
lions they are now conducting. It
would be ridiculous to let any of the
robber cats, especially big ones. which
may be caught, escape from the bag
through any over-zeaIous meddling on
the part of congress

COIL IN KANSAS.

That not the least valuable of the
many resources of Kansas is coal is
made clear in a report on the coal yield
of the nation for the year 1908 which
has just been compiled and made public
by the United States geological survey.
Although the matter discussed is a
year old. it should be Interesting to
many Kansans who probably have not
dustry in the state and the extent of
the coal deposits here.
During the year mentioned the pro-
duction of coal in this state was $685.
sos short tons of a spot value of $685.
222. Compared with the production of
the year before this is a decrease of
1.076,941 tons and a decrease in value
of $1,867, 476. This decrease is due in
the main to the fact that many
of the cities in state which here
tofore used large quantities Of Kan
sas coal are now using natural
gas quite extensively when they can
get it, Attention is called to this
fact in the geological surveys report,
and it might be remarked, parenthet-
ically, that in this report is a list Of
names of the cities hereabouts getting
a natural gas supply and Topeka's is
not among them. Whether this omis-
sion is due to accident or design every
body in town will be forced to admit
that 1t is quite appropriate, at least, as
far as the wintry season is concerned.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
Of this report is the important fact
that although the Kansas coal fields
have been worked pretty industriously
during the past decade or more, the
actual coal supply in the state has
scarcely been scratched. According to
the estimates Of the experts Of the
geological survey, the total area in
Kansas known to contain workable
coal beds is 300 square miles, while the
area of which little is known. but which
may contain workable coal, is estimated
at 1878 square miles. The original coal
supply of the state is estimated to have
been 7.o22,o0o.000 short tons, from which
there has been mined, to the close of
1908, 97,421,712 short tons. This repre-
sents an exhaustion, including the loss
of mining. of about 146,000,o0o short
tons. 1t would thus appear that only
about 81 per cent of the coal supply of
the state has been exhausted. In other
words, Kansas has large amount of
available coal which will stand her in
good score for years and years to come.
