Hampton Co. terprising business men, that they have not been around to talk to us on the coal question Alas, we fear our saying of lar.t week was too tamo, "that men not aequiin-ted with the coal traffic cannot realize' the amount of money there is in it." Or, is everyone waiting for others to niako a start Now, whv stand back on so impor tant a question Some one should make a move ami wo feel certain that a knowledge their best interests will lead others to follow. The man who starts r.n enterprise Of this kind has not only his welfare at heart but is- working for the advancemeitt of his fellow citizens. All we want to start the boom is for some one to suggest the way of we form a company and land? or would it not he a good idea to-get up a subscription paper, and every man donate according to their means? and then if we are successful in find ing coal, there will be no lack of men of means to take hold and develop It successfully. Who is there that would not be benefitted ten-fold for the amount they subscribed, if coal was discovered? They might not get a cent out of it direct, but all classes would receive a healthy and lasting boom the farmer's land and produce would increase in price, the merchant's trade would in crease, the laborer's field be widened, industries boomed, and the price of lowered immeasurably for each.

everyone and all. Boom it I Coal has been discovered in Kansas. Coal mines are being worked in sever al Kansas towns. A coal mine is in successful operation in the eastern half of Marshall county. signs that can be read by experts in the mining business, like a book have beeu discovered only four miles from Frankfort.

This locality has been looked over by an expert coal miner of fifteen or more years of actual, practical experience in the business, and he declares that the prospect is most excel lent, aud as reasonably certain of finding coal as was ever seen Inany country. hat, then, are we waiting for Let us wait no longer. Discuss the coal question instead of dead political issues, campaigns, or tha fashions. You will find there's more money in it, and fully as much glory. Come to the fore, ye who desire to see black diamonds hauled from the bowels of the earth, that the soul of man may be satisfied aud his children made glad1.

Rambling Notes. Whilst the Senior of the Bee was in Atchison last week, he, in company of W. J. Gregg, visited the jail in which young Baldwin is confined. We met the deputy sheriff, John Donahue, who is an old Frankfort boy, and he introduced us to tha presence of the youthful prisoner.

Baldwin was in a large cull with a couple of negroes, and was pacing to an i'ro seemingly greatly worried. When he shook hands with us, he gave us a grip that proved his small stature was full of well developed muscles. Ho is a very bright, intelligent, gentlemanly looking fellow, and it seems Incredible that he should have committed the atrocious crime of murdering his sister in cold blood. When questioned in regard to the result of tile trial he expressed the hope of getting a new trial, and of course coii3iderod the verdict not in accord with the evidence. Baldwin has a great deal of "sand," and has never felt a tremor of fear since his arrest.

The people of Akihison are well-nigh unanimous in agreeing that the verdict was a just one, aud there is bnt -little donbt that he would have been lynched bad he been acquited. The obliging deputy then showed us to the cell of Rosa Fisher who stabbed Perry Bell until life was extinct. She claims self-defence as her excuse for doing the doed. She is half negro and half Indian blood, and is as supple as a tigress. She was the keeper of a colored bagnio, aud was married to a railroad employer in Atchison named Elias Fisher, whom she tried to murder several times, and who is glad she is in her present fix.

John Donahue, the deputy, has a damage Biiit against the Central Branch in which he sues for $10,000 damages. It will come off before the court now in session at Atchison. Johnny has the reputation of being the best looking man in, or near, the court house. The present jail building Is not a very creditable one to the county, in fact, it is not fit to secure hogs in, but a new jail is nearly completed, and when it is finished, it is so nice that criminals will be glad to be placed under its hospitable Dentistry. Dr.

A. R. Goff has concluded to remain in Fronkfort permanently, and invites tho patronage of all needing first-class dental work. Office with Dr. Stedman over the P.
