EDITOR Me COOK TRIBUNE : I notice the
South Side writer for the McCook Monitor
writes an article on Newcastle coal , publish
ed in their issue of February 20th. The South
Side writer evidently does not know much
about Newcastle coal. If he did he would
not be the author of such an article.
We have used nothing but Newcastle coal
for the past year on the Wyoming Division
of the B. & M. R. R. and find it superior to
any coal we have used ; both for economy
and steam. At first we were like the fire
man that his article refers to , we did not
know how to use this class of coal. We soon
got on to the fact that by firing of ten , putting
in but little coal at a time , thus carrying a
light fire , that we would have no trouble in
keeping our engines hot. A lightfire of New
castle will keep up more steam and haul
more tons per mile , with the same engine and
same amount of coal , than any coal that I
have had anything to do with since on the
B. & M. R. R. Our experience with New
castle coal , with exception of the first two
months that we used it , has been very satis
factory.
If the firemen on Western Division would
break up the coal and fire lighter , I do not
think there would be any complaints so far
as steam is concerned. For my use in en
gines I would not exchange ton for ton for
any Colorado coal I have yet used.

Last Sabbath the Rev. M. L. Kunkelman
failed to meet his appointment , and accord
ing to instructions his assistant , the Rev. E.
J. Hall , supplied the pulpit in his place.
The weather being favorable the congrega

The reason for Mr. Kunkelman failure to
meet his appointment is the serious illness
