THAT QUESTION OF nrrEEENrIALs
Why There Is One Betw zen Ohio aud Penn. &.
.ylvania-Go>>tp.


Differences between the miners and
operators which were not clearly out
lined in the call for the convention are
beginning to loom UP. Cof mined by
hand and by machine promises TO be
the subject Of a debate which will re-
vive the haskneyoi arguments Of ma
chine versus hand labor. Opinions are
very much Of the peppery kind on this
subject. but in view of the fact that
this il the first opporturSW that the
operators and miners have had in near
ly fivs years 10 come together and
calmly dis-iss their grievances. there
is disposition to preserve the good
feeling which has thus farehaNcterizei
the convention.
The differential question is really
the mos; difficult. The ease Of Benn-
sylvania and Ohio is this: Western
Pennsylvania has two veins OF btumin-
Gus coal. high and a low. The low
vein 10 a five-foot vein and Of fair
quality. Across the Ohio line in Jack
son county and about Massilon there
IL a vein which in thickness averages
three and a half TO four feet But this
thinner vein 10 of better quality than
the Pennsylvania vein and usually
brings a better price in the market 1t
is for these mines that the Scent differ
entail exists Pennsylvania operators
say 60 the operators Of this district:
While IL IL true your vein is OF lesser
| depth. the coal is Of finer quality and
you receive more for IL. while your
miners get the same wages" And the
Pennsylvania men want the difrerential

The Philadelphia American, 10: The
total expenditures OF the United States
Tor the fiscal year ending June Goth last
amounted to e532, 600, 600, OF which per.
haps s5O,OoO,OOO a properly be classed
as Spanish war expenditures. For the
present fiscal year expenditures are esti-
mated at $685.. 100000. aud for the fiscal
year 1900 at $641 100000, while, for the
latter year, on q basis OF our present
laws, war taxes and all, receipts will
mount to about 3611 100000. So here
it sDpers that after We have returned
to what may be regarded az a peace
footing our revenues, added to as they
have been by the great wal taxes, will
fall short OF meeting expenditures by
sbont $4,000, 600. This is not at all a hap
py forecast, but realized it will be, un-
less We apply ourselves to getting back

Two state documents Of much interest
to South Dakotans have just been re-.
ceived at this office-the auditors re.
port for 1898, from State Auditor May
hew, and the report Of the regents Of
education for 1893, from Secretary
Hsire-both of which gentlemen have
our due acknowledgements for the favore.
The former is not lacking in the high
standard Of former reports OF this Office,
giving full statements OF receipts and
disbursements OF all state funds, the
proceedings OF the board OF equalization
and assessment, and list Of the military
warrants issued 10 the organization Of
the First Dakota volunteers, besides
the tax tabulations OF all kinds OF years
past. The auditor also makes some
very good suggestions to the forthcom.
ing legislature.
The report OF the regents of education
has more Of a local interest because OF
our State Normal school here, and the
greater interest generally in educational
matters. The regents are earnest in
their recommendation OF a fixed levy of
D mill on the dollar of taxable property
in the state for the support OF u edu-
cational institutions under their care.

Hendrum, Mimi.
ADA, Mimi. Dec. 17.-At Hendrum,
small village near here, fire destroyed
the house of Carl Void, and two chill
dren, aged ? and 4 years respectively.
were burned to death. At the time the
fire started Mrs. Void was working in
the yard, and no one was in the house
except the two children. The fire was
first discovered by neighbors who hap
pened to be near by and noticed the
smoke. The fire had been burning for
some time before it was discovered,
and, although assistance was readily
obtained. it was impossible. owing to
the smoke and flames, to enter the
building and rescue the children, who
were in the second story. No outcry
was heard. and it was hoped for q time
that possibly the children might be ut
some of the neighbors. but. after search
ing through the ashes and debris, the
charred and partly burned bodies were
found. The %supposition is that the
children in some manner set fire to
themselves.
