WELCOME FOR DIR. BROWN.
Dubuque Conference Declined to
Change Front.

DUBUQUE, To-, Sept 29.-At it's annual
meeting, at Strawberry Point, today, the Du-
buque district conference of Congregational
churches took up the request Of the Bay
conference, of San Francisco, that the action
of the Dubuque body, condemning the Cali
fornians for expelling Rev. G.. o. Brown,
after he had been acquitted by a church trial
on charges of immoral conduct with Miss
Overman, be rescinded. The matter was dis
cussed, and the conference by a decisive ma
jority reafirmed It's position In the case, not
only refusing to reconsider It's resolutions,
hut deciding to receive Rev. Brown into its
fellowship This action Is in direct line with
that taken by a church in this city last week.
1t is predicted that the case will be taken to
the highest tribunal In the church by the Cal
ifornians, but the Dubuque conference Is de-
termined to maintain its position in Brown d
behalf to the end.

OUR MAILS IN EARLY DAYS
They Moved Slowly and Letter
Postage Was Very High.

In Washington first term an
effort was made to speed the mails
TO move them at the rate of one
hundred miles in twenty-four hours
or al o 1T four and a half miles an
hour, writes ex-President Harri-
son in his This Country of Ours
article in September Ladies Home
Journal. This would have been a
notable advance, for the carriers
were then taking nearly thirty
hours between Philadelphia and
New York. The roads were bad
and there were many slow ferries.
In 1176 there were only
twcnty-eight postotfices in the
Colonies; in 1875 there were four
hundred and fifty-three. and in 1895
there were 70.064. The rates of
postage when the department was
organized under the constitution
were high; for. thirty miles, six cents
for one letter sheet; for sixty miles,
eight cents; for one hundred miles,
zen cents, and so increasing with
the increased distance to the maxi
mum. twenty-tiv cents for distances
over four hundred and fifty miles.
Stamps were not in use in those
days nor was the sender of u letter
required to pay the postage in ad-
vance. The postage. six cents tr
twenty-five cents, as the case might
be, was written by the postmaster
on the letter, and if the sender paid
the postage the word paid was
added; if he did not the postage was
collected of the person to whom the
letter was addressed. These rates
soon yielded a surplus over the cost
of the service, spite of the franking
privilege which the law gave to
congressman and the heads of de-
partments. The demands of
the newspapers and periodicals of
every class for cheap postage,
seconded by their subscribers, has
lead to a reduction of rates greatly
below the actual cost to the govern
ment. In his report for 1892, the
postmaster general, after stating
that the present letter rate pays
twice the cost of the letter mail, says
that the book and newspaper mail
is carried, at loss of six cents a
pound. In recent years the post.
Office department has been charac
terized by very progressive spirit,
and it is now rendering, net per
feet service. but high-class service
No other department has more
nearly kept pace with the marvellous
development OF our country.

PENINSULA POINTERS.

A Calumet man made mistake
last week regarding the opening
season for hunting partridge, and
his ignorance of the law cost him
$50 and costs. Dear bird, that,
but he will know better in the flu
ture.
A fatal accident occurred Satur-
day morning at the Tamarack-
Osceola coal dock near Dollar Bay
by which Ernest Bedard lost his
life. Bedard was working under
the hoist and a bucket which had
just been sent up in some way be-
came over balanced, discharging its
load OF about 800 pounds of coal
from a height of about sixty feet
directly upon the unfortunate. Sew
eral large pieces struck the man OH
the skull, one making hole an inch
and half in diameter, and another
so crushing the bones at the base of
the skull that the sutures at the top
were torn apart. The wonder is
that the man was not instantly
killed, but he fingered from the time
of the accident, a. m, until
o'clock Saturday evening.

RELEASED HIM.
insufficient Evidence to Hold
Robert Fisher, Charged With
Burglary.

The further examination of
Robert Fisher, one of the men ar
rested two weeks ago, charged with
having entered the saloon of Geo. E.
ibbottson, at Baraga, on the night
of August 22d, and burglarizing the
place, was held Tuesday, but as
there was no evidence directly
against the prisoner the prosecu-
tion did not deem it advisable to
ask that he be bound over to the
circuit court for trial, and the
prisoner was released.
Thomas Wilson, a partner of
Fisher, who broke out of the
county Jail in this city Tuesday of
last week, and against whom there
is strong evidence, has evidently
made good his escape, as the officers
have been unable to obtain any
trace of him. 1t is safe to say
that the two men will steer clear
of Baraga county in the future.

REPRESENTATIVE CONVEN-
TION.
George ID. Crippen, of Iron COun-
ty, Nominated BY the Re
publicans Tuesday.

The Republican representative
convention for the Dickinson dis.
trict was held at Iron Mountain
Tuesday evening, and was called to
order about. 8 o clock by Chairman
Scadden, of Iron county.
A temporary organization was
perfected by the selection of DR.. j. G
Turner, of Baraga, as chairman, and
Tom A. Hanna, of Dickinson, as
secretary.
On motion the chairman appoint
ed Messrs. Scadden, of Iron, Ham
mond, of Dickinson, and st. Ger
main, of Baraga, a committee on
credentials, permanent organization
and order OF business, and the con
vention took recess of ten minutes
to permit of preparation of reports.
Upon re-assembling the commit
tee reported as follows:
Mr.. Chairman-You committee begs leave
to report that thev find that the following
delegates are entitled to seats In this conven.
ton:
Dickinson-Tom Hanna, Linton B. sutton,

Turner, J. E. st. German, Roger c. williams
Iron-Thomas Conlin, q. McColeman, Frank
Scadden. NJ. B. McGee, Richard p. Hollow.
Your Committee would recommend that the
temporary organization be made permanent.
Which was carried.
A roll call of counties was had
and j. e. st. Germain nominated
Roger G. Williams, of L 'Anse: John
L. Buell. named Capt. John Ua
Curnow, of Vulcan, and Thomas
Conlin, George D. Crippen, of
Stambaugh.
The first ballot resulted in Grip
pen receiving twelve votes, Will
liams four and Curnow four.
1t was moved by Mr.. Buell..
seconded by Mr.. Williams that the
nomination of Mr.. Crippen be made
unanimous.
On motion Messrs. Scadden. Nc
Kercher and Buell. were appointed
a committee to bring the candidates
before the convention. Messrs.
Crippen and Williams responded.
the former thanking the convention
for the honor conferred upon him,
and the latter assuring the delegates
that Baraga county would do her
share to elect the nominee.
Chairman Turner appointed
Messrs. Scadden, of Iron, Witten-
berg, of Dickinson, and Williams, of
Baraga, representative committee
for the ensuing year, after which
the convention adjourned.
r. c. Williams, whom the people
of Baraga county greatly desired to
see secure the nomination, really
stood but little show, having enter
ed the field but two or three days
previous to the convention. 1t is
candidly believed that had he made
the fact known two months ago
he would have undoubtedly received
the nomination.
