Just make 1t two, old fellow,
want to stand once more,
Beneath the old flag with you.
AS in the days Of yore
Our fathers stood together
And fought on land and sea,
The battles fierce that made us
A nation Of the free.
whipped you down at vicksburx.
You licked me at Bull Run;
On many field we struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray of southland,
wore the northern blue;
Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets dew.
-Four years we fought like devils,
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine In friendly CLASP
Our two hearts beat as one.
And now, when danger threatens,
No north. no south, we know.
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
My head, like yours, Is frosty
Old age Is creeping on;
Life's sun Is lower sinking.
My day will soon be gone.
But IL our country's honor
Needs once again her son.
I'm ready, too, old fellow
So get another gun.

WHY CONTRACTS
WERE CANCELLED
Union Pacific Coal Company
Talks of Scrap With
D. J. Sharp.
NATTER WILL PROBABLY
GET INTO THE COURTS
Company Says Sharp Had No
Right to Sell Coal at
$i.75 a Ten.

There is lively scrap on between
the d. i. Sharp Coal company of this
! city and the Union Pacific Coal COM
pany. which will, in all probability,
| be aired in the courts al an early date.
d. j. Sharp. the head of the local com
| pany. has announced that he has retired
from the coal business in this city, and
gives as the cause that the Union
Pacific Coal company has cancelled his
contracts and refused longer to deliver
coal to him,
The basis Of the trouble is an adver-
tisement which Mr.. Sharp inserted in
the press of the city some weeks ago,
advertising coal at S4.15 ton. Mr..
Sharp saws TINT he was given rate
of S475 ton for coal in stock, by the
company, in July, but that later he
was asked TO withdraw his advertise
ment, and, upon refusing TO do so, his
contracts were cancelled
The differences that have arisen as
between Mr., Sharp and the Union Pa
ciic Coal company emphasize the we'll
known fact that coal trust exists IN
this State that absolutely controls the
sale of every pound of coal that finds
its way into the bins of consumers.
Sales Agent Talks.
j. NJ Moore, general sales agent of
the Union Pacific Coal company, said
Sunday;
"Mr. Sharp never had permission to
sell coal at S4.75 per ton. On June
Is a storage rate went into effect, by
which 1t was stipulated that the rail
road company and coal company were
each to refund 25 cents ton on stor-
age coal, August 10. This was later
extended to August 81. In other words,
We desired to offer premium 10 people
to buy coal during the summer months,
instead of waiting until the demand
for winter coal became general this
fall, at which time it Will be virtually
impossible for US to supply the de-
mand.
"'There was really no cut in the
price of coal for immediate use. The
price remained at S5.25 a ton, irrespec-
tive of what anybody purchased or
used prior to the expiration OF the
storage rate. But, In order TO prevail
upon consumers to buy their winter
coal in advance, it was arranged to
give them rebate of 30 cents n ton
on all the coal they had in storage on
August 81.
Question of Right.
Instead of advertising coal at $5,25
ton, The figure at which other deal
ers were selling it, Mr.. Sharp adver
tised TO sell at $475 ton. This he
had no right to do and the other dealers
protested. [ then went TO Mr. Sharp
and told him that he had no right to
advertise coal at fiat rate of $4.75
n ton. His reply was that he would
do as he pleased about the matter, and
as ] could not prevail upon him to
change his advertisement, | ordered
his contracts cancelled.
"Later, Mr.. Sharp appealed to Mr.
Bancroft and Mr.. Buckingham. ! WAS
them, and after Mr.. Sharp had stated
his case and ! had stated the other
side, he was told by those officials
that he was in the wrong: He again
asserted that he would do as he pleased
in the premises, and the order cancel
ling his contracts remained in force
