Brown, the "Medicine man" of Leavenworth, we visited this new coal shatt at the penitentiary on Wednesday of the present week. This shaft is being sunk with an appropriation of $25,000 from the Kansas State Legislature, by an act passed at their last session. This amount has now been pretty much exhausted in sinking the shaft, adding new buildings, engines, and fixtures for shafting. The shaft is sunk adjoining the prison wall, and the dump is surrounded by a high board fence. The prisoners perform most of the labor of drilling, filling the buckets and dumping them, while the whole work is directly under the superintendence of an expert, imported from INVOICE 1.

It seems strange that anyone will suffer from the many derangements brought on by an impure condition of the blood, when SCOVILL'S BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP will restore perfect health to the physical organization. It is indeed a strengthening syrup, pleasant to and has proven itself to be the best blood purifier ever discovered, effectually curing Scrofula, Syphilitic diseases, Weakness of the Kidneys, all disorders and Debility. It corrects indigestion. It makes the old feel young, and the young feel gay, and will invariably drive out of the system the many ills that human flesh is heir to. A single bottle will prove to you its merits as a health renewer, for it acts like a charm, especially when the complaint is ot an ex.

Officer Phillips Slakes a Haul. Wednesday evening the watchman at the Santa Fe depot discovered a tramp who was wandering about the place, and whom he arrested and brought up to the calaboose. At the same time there was wandering about the depot yard a well dressed young man, who when arrested gave his name as Charlie Prettey. The watchman brought the little tramp up, and told con-stable Phillips what were the outside signs of Mr. Prettey.

Phillips needed no more. While he would not hesitate to make arrests when circumstances should warrant, Mr. Phillips is known as a very cautious man. He wants to know that he is right. He was so well satisfied, however, that the watchman had found a rogue, that he went to the Santa Fe depot and arrested the man.

On his person he found two checks, but no money. The checks were drawn on the treasurer of Greenwood county. In response to a telegram, Mr. Phillips last evening received a dispatch from W. H.

Daum, of Greenwood county, saying the checks had both been stolen. Married. In this city, by Rev. L. W.

Insignificant Manners. Perhaps 500 persons enjoyed the pleasure of skating on the rink above the dam, yesterday Most people were entirely willing to pay the small sum charged for admission to the ring. But one or two small-souled individuals refused and caused the boys considerable trouble. Last night after nearly everybody had gone home, one or two of these gentlemen cut the rope and tore down the tent. The ringleaders will, we hope, be arrested this morning, when we shall take the utmost pleasure in reporting the proceedings of the police court.

About the only part of the document which refers to this county reads as follows "The second division, commencing at or near a point in Miami connty, in the State of Kansas, where the eastern boua dary line of said State of Kansas is intersected by the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway, connecting or to be connected with said part or portion of said railways, form erly known as the Lexington and Southern thence extending to and to be extended westerly through the counties of Miami, Franklin, Douglas, Osage and Shawnee, in the State of Kansas, to the city of Topeka, in said county of Shawnee, being of the estimated length constructed andjto be constructed of one hundred miles, only about eight miles In all, including part of both divisions, are now constructed and in operation." Black Diamonds." There was a good house last evening at Liberty Hall to witness the rendition of this play by the Forbes Cotton Company. We have seldom seen a better house or a better play in Lawrence. Ben. Cotton, in the part of "Banty was immense, and the applause of the audience bore emphatic testimony to the fact Cotton's rendition of the part stamps him as a true artist in the strictest sense of the word. The hero of the play, Mark O'Dare, was also a marked success.

He looked the hero to perfection and acted it as well. Little Idalene was a favorite as she always is, and the whole piece was well performed and gave entire satisfaction. Forbes Cotton will always find a warm welcome in Lawrence, so long as they have so good a company as the present We were not present at the "Uncle Tom's Cabin" matinee, but from those who were there we leara that the school children weie out in full force, and that all were delighted with the performance. "Little Eva" found her true representation in little Idalene, and several good mother's present felt almost compelled to rush upon the stage to embrace her. Coal and Wood.

Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, for that special purpose.

This superintendent is a young man ol agreeable manners and freely im- parts all desired information concerning the feh aft and the progress of the work. The work at the bottom-of the 6haft is prosecuted day and night without cessation 17 a relay of hands. No prisoner is permitted to work in the shaft who has any fear or timidity in so doing, as more desire to go down than can be accommodated. The water coming into the shaft amounts to about fifty gallons per hour, all of which is brought up in the great iron bucket with the rock, 6hale, etc. Some distance from the bottom of the shaft a vein of very salt brine was found which affords quite a quantity of water every twenty-lour hours and which is drawn off by itself.

Dr. Brown received a couple of pint bottles of this brine for analysis, and will test it for iodine and bromine as well as ior sodium or common salt. The workmen, as they come up from the shaft, in the great iron bucket, four at a time, with lighted torches in their caps, and clad in water proof suits, look as damp and wet as though they bad been out in a heavy shower ot muddy water. We declined on this account the kind invitation of the superintendent to explore the shaft in person. At the time of our visit the work was in a ledge of blue limestone and frequent blasts were required.

The explosive power used was glycerine with dry corn meal a9 an absorbent, so that the cartridges were in shape like a long roll of adhesive salve and inside appeared like yellow corn meal. Sometimes one-half of a roll is used for a light blast and again two rolls are put in for a charge. A percussion cap is inserted iato the dry meal of the cartridge to which a wire is attached, which reaches to the top of the shaft, from which by a light blow the electric current passes down the wire and ignites the cartridge. After the blast fresh air is pumped into the shaft and the workmen go down and resume -their labors. The shaft in the clear is ten by sixteen feet, and from the first ledge, which I think is fourteen feet below the surface, the curbing of the shaft is of stone well masoned on the ledge.

The ledge is then passed, below which the curbing is made of oak plank two inches thick, and costing from 25 to $30 per thousand feet. The lumber used for every foot in depth amounts to 165 feet Further down the shaft th; oak curbing is omitted in passing ledges of rock at several intervals. The shaft on the day of our visit was down six hundred and twenty feet from the surface. In the soft shales the progress had been as uch as four feet in twenty-four hours, but in solid rock the rate is much slower than this, and varying much according to material, etc. Two seams of coal of very fair quality have? been already passed, one of eight and one of twelve inches in thickness, but the two foot vein which is the goal sought for in all this great expenditure of money, lies eighty feet below the paint of the present work, and will, it is expected, be reached in January next.

The reasons for anticipating this result with so much confidence are simply these: At the old coal shaft, situated one mile above Leavenworth, and on the government reservation, a careful record was kept of the strata passed through down to the coal seam itself, which is two feet in thickness and has been worked successfully tor several years past This record, furnished by the old coal company to the government officials at the fort, tallies precisely with the record made at the new shaft at the penitentiary; all the variations consist in the thickening of the rock strata a trifle and a consequent thinning of the shale between and vice versa. The old coal shaft is situated five miles above the new one on the river bank, and commences its descent twenty feet below the horrizon of the new shaft, which is away from the river and upon an elevated position. If this coal vein thickens at the penitentiary shaft it will add one link in the chain of evidence that the same vein underlies our own city. As to the probable cost ot boring to a depth of 1,000 feet, preliminary to shafting, the superintendent at the penitentiary shaft, though not an expert at the business, presumes it could be done for $1,000, with water power furnished tor the purpose, as Mr. Bowersock offers to do.

The superintendent also said that as business was now dull at Pittsburg, an expert who was skilled in the art of sinking these wells could be easily procured for $75 per month. Why not raise the money and begin the work at once? It may be interesting to note that at the old coal shaft above Leavenworth they are putting in a new powerful engine in place of the old one and are prosecuting the work of mining with new vigor, and it is said that their mining stock is now worth $1.15 on the dollar. They keep 'closed doors," however, and no outside person is admitted to their mine or allowed to know their present profits; but as one can readily anticipate they opposed the opening of the new shaft, as it would not only bring down "the price of coal but bring into competition free labor with con-Tict labor." Fortunately there has been no accident of any account as jet at the new shaft, and as the machinery and appliances are made of the best material, it Is hoped none will occur during the further progress of the work.
