The meeting of the Commercial
Club Monday aight to consider the
proposition of the McClelland
Coat and Mining Co. was largely
attended by representative citizens,
of the city. President Jeffries was
in the chair, and after stating the*
purpose of the meeting called for
the Coal Co.'s proposition, which
was stated by Judge Hockntan on
behalf of the! company, and in
substance was as follows:
The company propose to open
and develop a coal mine hear the
city limits, and as soon aft the Go's
proposition is accepted will "test
the field with diamond drills, and
when tested satisfactorily to the
company work will be begun im-
mediately and a shaft sunk. That
(son the time the work begins, it
will Oontinue night and day until
the shift reaches the sscoud strata
ot coal, a distance of 180 to 196
feet, and by early spriug the com-
pany will be marketing ccal.
The company ask a donation of
lots,' lands and money to the
amount of $2,500, to be paid when
the pay roll of the company for
miners and mine laborers shall
amount to $25,000 a month.
The company agrees to keep an
office in Chelsea, where its labor-
ers shall be paid, and will not be*
come interested, directly or indi-
rectly, in a commissary or com-
pany store.
Mr. Hockman assured the club
that F. A. McClelland, the presi-
dent of the company, had been for
many years one of the coal mag-
nates of Brazil, Imfiaua.'bnd back
unlimited capital to fully develop

A SfctfSfTlVE JANITOR.'*"
A story is told of the janitor ip
a Western schoolhouse, who gav«
up hi: job because he considered
that the teachers had deliberately
impunged his honesty. The resig-
nation and the reason for it came,
as a surprise to the school board,,
and they asked him to explain.
"Well," said he, "I never found
even so much as a pencil on the
floor when I was sweeping out that
I didn't give to the principal. No-
thing has ever been lost. Some-
times the children,' .wheu they
missed a lunch box or a biwk
would make a note. <of it on the
blackboard, so I could look out for •
it, and, by gutq, I always found
what was missjtyg. About two
weeks ago, however, I read on the
blackboard: 'Fin<J the least com-
npa multiple.' Not eyen a please ,
either. Well, I hijnted high ahd
low, but couldn't see it. I feltpretf*
ty bad about it, for it was my first
m>ss. But I got mad wheu 4 ample
of days later I read on the boardt

resigned. I couldn't find, it and I
didn't care to stand (or having
swept it out.
