THEvFALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , HARCH 8 , 1907
The End of a Gay Season.
M nil go Chiptnan was tliu
belle of the village. Madge
was not every man's girl. Vml
every man. belonged to Mndyc ,
That is , they all wanted herat - - *
at luast , all but Cyrus
Weathorby , who didn't seem
to want any tfirl. He was a
shy , solemn , plodding sort ol
fellow , seldom taking any part
in the amusement ol the youny
people who were the gayest of
gay farmers' sons and daugh
ters.
If tliere was one among the
.swains who was considered tc
have any better chance with
Madge than the others it was
Tom Hatch , but this was rather
on account of his superior
audacity than any special
encouragement Madge had
at least , publicly shown him.
As Madge could have had any
of the young men , so Tom could
have had any of the young
women. There was only one
ol them that he wanted , and
that was Madge.
The winter was u guy one ,
and the young people of the
neighborhood , copying from
their city cousins , resolved to
end their festivities with the
beginning of Lent. When a
'number of them were together
one evening some one of the
party suggested that they
should wind up the Season by a
grand frolic.
"Suppose ? , " said Cyrus
Weiitherby in his usual serious
tone and manner , "we have a
mock elopement.1
Th'ere was a burst of laughter
at the sedate Cyrus leaking
such a proposition , which
caused him to blush red as a
rose , followed by a universal
assent. Tom Hatch , as he
usually did , took the lead ,
resolved that if he had not
made the suggestion he would
be at least the moving spirit
in carrying it out. lie sug
gested Madge as the feminine
principal in the runaway and
that she was to choose the
masculine principal. Madge
accepted the role and said that
since Cyrus had made the pro
position he should be the man
in the case. There were laughter -
' ter and clapping of hands at
I' this , and , since it was evident
that no refusal would be
I accepted. Cyrus blushingly
consented.
The plUn when completed
was this ; Cyrus was to call on
a certain night at Madge.s
house with the saddle horses.
Madge was to descend by a
'
trellis , and the two 'were to
mount and dart away. One ol
the pursuing party was to be
stationed at the bridge , half a
mile up the road , and when tin
elopers crossed it he was tc
give a signal , and the whole
party was to ride after them.
The elopers were to make foi
the Washington tavern , tei
miles away. If they got there
before being caught , they wen
to be considered as having
escaped and been married. I
not , they were considered tc
have been captured. All wen
to partake of a supper at UK
tavern a mock wedding supper
At the appointed hour Cyrui
made his appearance uncle
Madge's window. She descend
ed the trellis , mounted , and the ;
sped away like the wind
When they dashed over th
fe bridge , a mounted man besid
it fired a shot , which .rang ou
clearly on the still air , and
merry party of boys and girl
gave chase.
Cyrus and Madge had nc
gone far before it becam
evident that Cyrus , if stupid i
other respects , had had th
sense to secure a couple o
thoroughbred horses. A fu
" , moon shining on snow lieltl
made the road light as da
The elopers rather held i
' .their steeds at first ; bu
having traversed half th
distance and hearing a clatt <
Closing up behind them , the
foosened their reins , to reac
the goal fully ten minutes
before any of their pursuers.
Tom Hatch had the next best
horse to the fleeing couple and
rode up to the tavern before
any other of the pursuing party ,
A couple of steaming horses ,
over each of which a blanket
had been thrown , stood at the
tavern door. Dismounting , he
entered the living room ant
saw the eloping couple standing
at one end , a man in a white
necktie opposite. Tom was
just in time to hear the words
"I pronounce you man am :
wife. " It did not take Ton :
long to get the situation intc
his head. There was a sinking
at his heart , but he put on the
best face he could and , going
out just as the rest of the party/
were riding up to the tavern ,
shouted :
"We've been sold ! They're
married ! " As the party came
up in couples the fact was made
known , and when the hindmost
couple arrived all entered the
tavern , shouting , laughing and
dancing up to the young man
and wife , who stood ready to
receive congratulatiuns.
"And now , landlord , " said
one ol the men , "bring on the
supper. * '
A pair of fojding doors were
thrown back , and there stood
the father and mother of the
bride , one at each end of a well
loaded table.
'I'm sorry , " said .the father ,
"at the ; informality of this wed
ding , but our Madge always
was a madcap , and we were
obliged to consent to this ar
rangement. She and Cyrus
Weatherby have been engaged
for some time and were to have
been married shortly. It's only
a little ahead of time. Come in
friends , and partake ot the
marriage feast. "
There was a merry supper ,
during which every one was
joyful but Tom Hatch , who
could not be expected to be joy
ful. When the supper was
finished the pursuing party
rode back to the village , leaving
the bride and groom at the
tavern. It was early morning
before the last one who had
joined in the chase had gone tc
bed , and wliQii all -awoke it
was Asli Wednesday. Lenl
bad come.

Prof. 1C. II. Barbour has issued
bulletin -Honey Creek coal
nine , four miles southeast of Peru.
The report has-been filed with
Governor Sheldon. This mine
las been referred to as the first
coal mine found in Nebraska , al-
hough other small veins have
been found but none of them
> roved profitible. The Honey
Jreek Mine is near the Missouri
ivcr. The average thickness of
the vein is thirty four inches.
\uy coal is considered good in a
state supposidly destitute of nat
ural fuel , but Professor Barbour
says this mine produces a good
average grade of bitumous coal.
Though the bed may be limited
to a square mile or so it is of im
portance to the state of Nebraska.
Samples tested by chemists show
that it is not far behind the lig-
nitic coal of Cumberland , Wyo.
The comparison between two
samples of the Honey Creek coa
and the Wyoming coal show thai
the one of the Nebraska samples
produced 12,621 British Thermal
units per pound of coal , another
tested 7492 and the "Wyoming
coal tested 14 , lOO. The per cent
of combustible violatile matter it
one of the Nebraska samples was
found to be 44.50 and in another
sample 45'20 and in the Wyoming
sample 45.10. Eight men arc
regularly employed in the mine
and the present output is fron
six to eight tons , a day , witl
promise of doubling that capacitj
soon. The output from the date
of opening , February 11 , l )0f ) ) . tc
February 15 , 1907 , cannot exactl }
be given , inasmuch as no record
were kept until September , 19Q6
There are two tunnels. The out
put from tunnclNo 1 is not known
but was probably not less thar
seventy-five tons. The total o\\t
put to February 15 , 1007 , was 40 (
tons , valued at $1,400. The coa
sells for $3.50 a ton.
