 T am a very bad after dinner speaker. In fact, I am such a bad after dinner speaker that often in the middle of a speech I think dismaHs of Judge Lyons of Tombstone.
 Judge Lyons of Tombstone arose one evening to make a campaign dience. He spoke so badly that his audience melted away by degrees At the end of an hour one old miner alone was left
 | The old miner yawned and reached down for his hat at last, but he was mortified to see Judge Lyons draw a six shooter from his hip pocket and lay 1t on the desk beside him.
 'The old miner sat up He fingered his hat nervorsly. At length he in . terrupted Judge Lyons turgid flood of oratory and said:
 "'Be ye g'wine ter shoot ef go-' Such, friend, is my intention. said Judge Lyons grimly. I am bound to finish my oration even if have to shoot to keep an audience
 "The old miner heaved a deep sigh Then he arose and started for the door, at the same time saying over his shoulder:

Matherville, ILL.,, March U.s.
George Gooden, proprietor Of the
Little Star coal mine. and william
Esp, George and John Bugos, pro-
prietors of the Never Seen Coal
company, recently consolidated,
were in Rock Island in consulta-
ton with the Rock Island South
ern officials about having q spur
put in SO they could ship coal d.
rect to the tri-cities by rail. The
spur, II they succeed in getting it
put in, will be close to the over.
head bridge about q mile and . half
from here. They have Just closed
contract with the Northwestern
Clay Manufacturing company for
all the coal they need. but rs their
output will be quite large, they had
to figure some other way to dispose
Of their surplus. The railroad sub
mitted a contract for their approval
and was found to be all right, with
one exception. The railroad want
ed the coal company to be liable for
damages if any Of the men work
ing on the railroad were hurt while
at work on the stub, and the coal
company would not accept It in
that manner, and have given them
a contract for their consideration
which states that they will only be
liable for damages to their own
men while working there. 1t is to
be hoped they succeed in getting
the spur, for it will be great con-
venience for all the people along
the line. The men are all exper-
fenced miners and have a good
prospect Of making good il they
get this through. They have about
five miles to haul the coal to Grit
fin, where the Northwestern Clay
Manufacturing company is located
They are hauling it with large
