without the necessary recall law. they
Undertook to recall him as senator by

he is not satisfied with endangering the
success Of the republican party Ia the
election Of president but insists that the

$1.5O Coal Carries $500 in Gold.

An interesting feature about the
coal mined at Cambria, Wyo., is
that it is claimed to be gold-bearing.
Some of the coal has contained as
much as So per ton in gold, and the
coal was sold for only $3.50 per
ton. When coke made at Cambria
was selling for $3.50 per ton SAM
Piles were taken from 81 cars dur
in, a period of three weeks and as
sayed. The samples showed an
average of $2.46 per ton in gold
and $028 in silver. The explanation
offered for the presence of gold in
this coal is that the sands which
submerged the old peat bog and
now form the roof of the coal bed
were derived in part from gold
bearing alluvium. While the sand
was being deposited the gold work
ed down into this underlying bog
and is now found in the coal.
This is one of the interesting
statements madein a report to be
published in few days by the U.
S. Geological Survey. 1t is Bulletin

from countless graves; the unfold
ing leaves of the forest heralding
the approach of summer; the Or
chards and the meadows bursting
into bloom and myriads of winged
MINISTRIES filling the world with mel
ody are all the evangels of the Lord
demonstrating before our very eyes
the universal victory of life over
death. Look how the rose hears
the far-away call of the sun and
bushes IN the presence of its God.
Look how the violet comes from
its tiny tomb and opens its glad,
blue eyes to greet the spring. Are
they not Gods own answers to the
question, IF a man die shall he
live again?" If the germs of inani-
mate life, buried beneath the sod
so surely respond to the silent com.
mand of summer, who can doubt
that man shall spring up out of the
unconscious dust into eternal life
when God shall call? Can it bt
that the grass and flowers are res
directed from the sod of earth
while man, for whom they were
made, must sleep on foreyer?p

A Queer Railroad Accident.

The Burlington railroad recently
lost a box car for a few hours and
the train men and officials of the
road were at a loss to know what
had become of the car.
A car of a train crossing the Fox
river bridge at Aurora, ILL.,, in some
manner left the track and breaking
its coupling to the car in front and
the one to the rear, toppled off the
bridge into the water. The engi-
neer of the locomotive pulling the
train noticed that his load had
lightened and on signalling the
train crew an investigation was
made which showed that the train
had broken in two. The trainmen
not noticing that car was missing
coupled the sections together and
the train went on its way.
The next morning the car was
found missing and a section crew
was.sent out to search for it. AS
there was only a few feet of water
in the river, the SearChers soon dis
covered the runaway Cdr, and by
the aid of a steam crane, it was
raised to the rails again with but
little if any damage.
Had the Fox river been at its u.s.
ual depth, it is quite likely that the
car would have been submerged
and the officials of the Burlington
railroad might be growing gray
headed today trying to figure out
what had become of the car
