residence and surrounded her with
every luxury. Three years later a
son blessed their happy union.
For years Mrs. Conway has been

and doctored with the Rich Bros. For
a while che seemed bueftted but OF

bore her sickness very patiently and
cheerfully for the sake OF her dear
husband and son.
Two days before she died, she suf-

and friends were in hopes she would
regain her usual health.
DR.. Hood of Elko was summoned,
but could do very little for her, as n
higher power was already preparing
another home for this loved one. Sum

summons, home.
On Tuesday tho friends and
relatives assembled to take n last look
at the dear, familiar face. Rev. John
Dawson preached her funeral ermon
and We were all very much comforted
by it.
Mrs. Conway's remains were then
taken to Wells and shipped on the
evening train to Reno for interment.

she sleep in peace for she is
@Satc in the arms OF Jesus, "
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o'er-shaded,
Sweetly her soul shall rest"
We extend our heartfelt sympathy
to the bercaved father and son in
this sad dark hour. Wo know that
their loss is great and can never be
replaced, but we pray that God will
scom:ort andlead them to n place b
her eide where there are no more
orrows nor separations.

EndeavOring to Arrange a Settle

DENVER, Col, Jan. sd. H. Mof-
fatt, the heaviest mine owner of the

IN response to telegram from Gov
Alva Adams, who has established head
quarters until he can reach a conclu-
sion as to the continuance or early
termination of the strike. Mr.. Moffatt
was accompanied by several leading
mine owners of Leadville. Gov. Adams
has desired that the miners union make
some definite proposal for settlement
and this he intends to submit to the
mine owners. 1t is understood that
such proposal will have in 1t certain
concessions, and that the original de-
mand will be modified. The miners
union has appointed a. committee of
three with large powers for the settle
ment Of the trouble.

the passage thereof from one pocket

The machine has. been tested for
several years in all sorts Of ways and
has proven success so far. 1t is
claimed that one machine on the Bran
bel patents is at work in a Trenton,
n. j., dynamo-room, where it is giving
the best satisfaction, and that though
1t is of $50 horse power its space on
the floor is but six by eighteen inches,
and that it is less than eighteen inches
high. 1t is doing it's work with about
half the steam necessary for the gener-
alton of the same power IN any of the
high-claSS engines of the day. Brambel
himself has tested his engine at high
speeds and in every way. he. could in
the country districts of Minnesota. He
has coupled it direct to creamery sep
arators, which are run up to $500 revo-
buttons per minute, and it worked per-
fectly. 1t has run circular saws up TO
200 revolutions. and all sorts of small
machinery, including machine shops,
elevators, hosting works, boats and
the like. The engine is made straight

either simple, compound or triple ex-

500 STIRS THEM Up
CHICAGO ST. PAUL LINES SUR
PRISED AT THE TARIFF
REDUCTION.
FOR THE TWIN CITY j0BBERS.
CHICAGO GREAT WESTERN AN
NOUNCES THAT 1T WILL MEET
THE CUT.
JUST HOW is NOT YET KNOWN.
Freight Representatives of the Othe r
Lines Are Away at Present.
Local Railway News.

The action of the 500 in cutting the
rate on west-bound freight from New
York and New England points to the
Twin Cities to $105 was a general topic
of conversation in railroad circles yes
terday. The cut came at a wholly I'M
expected time, but that was Of course
characteristic, ofs.the 500. Expressions
Of opinion were of course varied, and
the general tone of the Chicago-St.
Paul lines was that the 500 would hurt
itself in the end. There was some doubt
expressed yesterday that the 500 would
put it's agreement into. effect But
the 500 has already sent it's tariffs to
the printer. The rate is announced to
go into effect next Monday.
The general freight agents of five out
Of six of the Chicago-St. Paul lines are
now in Chicago attending a meeting Of
the rate committee of the Western
Freight association, and consequently
it is not known just where their roads
stand. However, the Great Western
comes out with an announcement that
they will meet the Soo's rate JAM. %,
and will place a tariff of 81. 05 in effect
on that day. This news was given out
officially yesterday afternoon from the
general freight department of the Great
Western. The announcement is some
what interesting as it may mean that
the Great Western has secured the CO.
operation of some Eastern line in max
ing the rate. If the Great Western had
secured a standard line, it would have
only cut to $1.15, as the standard lines
have no differential and the fast freight
lines have one. There is some specu-
lation as to what line the Great West
ern has secured, whether it is the Blue
Line, Merchants Despatch, National
Despatch, or other similar lines.
There was some talk that the Bur-
lington had also met the rate, but this
statement was not confirmed by the
officials Of the road, who expressed
some surprise at the announcement
that the Great Western had met the
rate, claiming that it would precipi-
tate some unexpected trouble in the
Western Freight association. Nothing
has been heard locally from the board
of administration Of the Western
Freight association, and the lines as
a rule make no move until the associ-
alton has been heard from. The as
ISOLATION cannot we'll let the 500 rate
go unnoticed and information is ex-
pected every day that the lines have
been authorized to meet the rate
