Friends Words of Praise ON the Death
.-- of Abe Weinstein.
It is with profound sorrow that [
heard of the death of Abe. While you
have lost dutiful and affectionate son,
I have lost one of the dearest friends on
earth. Outside of your family I am con-
fdent no one could more fully de-
plore his loss than myself. True, his
death teaches us that sooner or later we
must all make the journey across the
mystic river. The angels called, and, in
the ways of an all-wise Providence, it
was best that he should go. We all have
the ordeal to pass. Fortunate it would
be if all could be as certain of beng
among the exalted angels as was your
darling son and brother. Apropos /
write this little poem:
Tell the fainting in the weary form,
There's a world of the purest bliss.
That is linked, as the soul and form and linked,
BY a covered bridge with this.
Yet to reach that realm on the other shore
We must pass through a transient gloom,
Through that covered bridge-the tomb.
But we all pass over on equal terms,
For the universal toll ILL.,. "==
In the outer garb, which the hand of God
Has flung around the soul.
To enable our feet in the next days march
To climb up that golden edge
Inside of the covered bridge.

THE PURITAN TROUBLE.
The Miners Union Cause the Suspen-

The Miners Union Cause the Suspen-
sion of Work at That Property.
Considerable commotion was caused
at the Puritan mine yesterday afternoon
when the secretary of the Granite Miners
Union appeared at the hoist with in
structions from the union to notify all
underground workmen who were re-
celving less than union wages ($3.5O per
day) to discontinue work at once.
There was upwards of twenty men
employed IN the mine, most of whom
we're non-unlon men, and as none of
them have of late been receiving wages
in accordance with the standard fixed by
the union they all quit work and the
mlne is now shut down.
John McKechney, the manager of the
Puritan, was seen last evening IN regard
to the matter, and being asked about
the trouble he informed THE MAIL rep
resentatlve that he was making no at
tempt to reduce union wages, but since
the late disaster to the mining industry
had set IN he agreed with his men upon
a compromise which seemed entirely
satisfactory to all concerned About six
weeks ago there was some uncertainty as
to whether the Puritan work would be
continued or not, for certainly the ou5-
look OF the silver market did not Justify
further expenditure in it's development.
However, after consultation between
Mr.. McKechney and his men, it was de-
clded to continue the work and the men
agreed to accept two-thirds OF the union
wages in cash and take the company's
certificate for the other one-third. which
the company would redeem upon the
restoration of the silver market; but
should the silver question result unfavor-
able to mine-owners then the men would
lose that much of their wages. The
plan seemed to meet the approval of
those directly interested, and as most all
of the men at the Puritan have families
they felt quite fortunate in being re-
tanned in their positions with the above
conditions to govern their salaries. The
union, however, recognized in such an
arrangement possible continuation of
reduced wages, and after deliberating
upon the matter they decided to act in
the above stated manner. Before re-
questing the men to abandon their work
the union asked the company to take up
certificates already issued the men for
one-third their wages but this Mr.. Nc
Kechney refused to do, claiming it was
fair and square contract and propo-
sitlon.

Dear Abe.

Thou art gone to the grave-we no longer de-
plore thee
Though sorrow and darkness encompass the
tomb;
Thy father has passed through the portals before
thee,
And light of his love is thy guide through the
gloom.
Thou art gone tothe grave--we no longer behold
thee,
Nor tread the rough path of the world by thy
side;
But the wide arms of mercy are spread to enfold
thee,
And sinners may hope since the snless has
flown.
Thou art gone to the grave and twas wrong to
deplore thee.
When God was thy ransom, thv guardian, thy
guide;
Ho gave thee and took thee, and soon will re-
store thee
But death was 50 bitter when our dear playmate
died.

Policeman Harry Strong received
through the mail a letter, which pur-
ported to be from friend, telling HIM
that his life was threatened and he had

The letter was anonymously sent and
Mr.. Strong says it is either some one
who wishes his position or wishes some
one else to fill it. Nevertheless he does
not pay any attention to the m1ssive and
is going right ahead with his duties.
1t is certainly not from friend, for
friend would go to him and tell his story,
therefore it must be from some one who
wishes him harm

out of a hungry 1000 who have been eating
free soup at the Lakeside kitchen for the

Of the street gang they were politely in

Midwinter International exposition will be

nothing more than Q side show to the Co

one Of far greater magnitude than its
most sanguine supporters dreamed of.
When the idea was born in the minds of
Its promoters it was thought five build

Gate park for the purpose. AS special
attraction the services of the Iowa State
band have been secured to play during the

MRS. ANDREW FOY,

roy looked pale ana Ill when she entered
the court room. She was plainly dressed
in black, but attracted a great deal of at
tention from the crowd of interested spec
tators in the room. 1t was whispered
about that the little woman had received
another threatening letter. and this served
to deepen the interest in her. The letter
which Mrs. Foy received was an anony-
movs communication. The chirography
was small and suggested woman's hand.
1t warned her not to be traitor. A dire
full reference was made to the fate Of
Judas Iscariot. 1t also told her to beware
lest her family of little ones suffered from
the result of her testimony. Beginning
with a plea the letter ended with q threat.

she took the stand, but her face bore traces

Coughlin, Burke, and Cooney, and of
Coughlin's visits to her husband At one
time she entered room and saw her hus-
band standing and looking over Coughlin' s

was reading; she caught the words:
