THE CONFERENCE.

Monday evening Senator Grady pre-
sided. and read Senator Films letter
asking for joint conference, and also
one from Senator Quay, reading as
follows:
MY Dear Sir-Referring to your
message, just now received, permit me
to say:
"First-A vacancy in the Senatorship
has existed since March 4. The State
has not perceptibly suffered in the
meantime and is not likely to suffer
until the affair is determined.
"Second-Pending the proceedings in
Philadelphia it would be most unfortu-
nate that any of our people should
change position. They might as well
come here and go upon the witness
stand against me.
''Third-To temporize with those per.
sons who for three months have pre-
vented the election Of a Senator from
Pennsylvania would extricate them
from the abyss into which they have
plunged. Instead of of making theii
treason to the party odious, their treas
on would be made respectable Treas
on made respectable will become fash
ionable.

anyhow:
After q miner gets his car loaded
he put his tag on it, pushes tito where
the man with the donkey can pick it
up and with others is hauled to the in
cline. The cars hold about 800
pounds run OH miniature rails. or
8 Of them are attached to the cable
and with an 8 horse power, double
cylinder engine, are hauled to the top
of the dump, where they are weighed,
each miner getting credit for amount
in his car. The coal is then run either
into q car, or into the farmers wagons.
The miners are paid $1.10 a ton.
They can by working hard get cut
two tons and have sent up rs high as
3 tons in a day, but won't average a
ton day for the year. The man run

owner sell his coal for $1.75 per ton

out of his Is cents has to pay for
drifting, props, hauling to incline and
hoisting.
Many of the miners are Welsh and
come from families that have mined
for generations, until it is literally
born and bred in the bone. They tell
of one man who mined here number
of years, saved his money, married
wife who had a nice farm, bought
another and went to farming, made
money and all that, yet in a few years
got tired of working above ground
and wanted to sell his farm and go
back to the hardships of a miners life.

ON to chronicle the death of an
other pioneer citizen and bust
ness man. Last Saturday morn
ing at 4 o'clock Hon. Julius
Stevens quietly passed away in
to the great unknown kingdom
after an illness lasting several
months-lung trouble The
family had given up hopes of his
recovery but none realized that
the end was so near. Deceased
was conscious to the end, and
only a few minutes previous to
his death he expressed himself
as being all right if he could only
gain a little more air, alas for the
tickleness of human life, those
remarks were only the forerun-
ners of the grim reaper and in a
short time after his tired spirit
had winged it's fight.
julius Stevens was born in
Nor way in 1855 and would have
been A years old next May. His
mother died in Norway. and he,

more county, MINI. In 1879 he
moved to Valley City, N. D., and
to Cooperstown in 1883, where
he has been engaged in the hard
ware business up to the time of
his death. In 1883 he was mar
ried to Miss Julia B. Iverson,
and as result of that union four
children are left to mourn the
loss of their father. Ida, the
oldest is Is, Oliver IA, Leo and
Freddy two younger children.
In 1885 Mr.. Stevens was elected
to the territorial legislature from
this district being its first repre-
sentative, and made a painstak-
ing representative of the people.
In business he was upright and
courteous and was one of Coop
erstown's most progressive bust
ness men. He was a member of
Griggs Lodge No. ID, Ancient
Order of United Workmen and
carried So, 600 insurance in that
order.
The funeral ceremonies were
held Tuesday afternoon in the
Lutheran church, Rev. E. T.
