 "The evening before I left Bayou Boeuf dined at the house of a planter named Pointer His wife played the piano beautifully; she reminded me of home by giving Monastery Bells, The Gondola,' Three Bells Polka etc. She mixed in several southern airs, and wound up with Dixie in revenge for which I played Columbia Star Spangled Banner and America.
 In the following April the writer of the letter from which the above is an extract was prostrated after several weeks service in the exhausting cam paien that preceded the investment of Port Hudson. and was sent to New Or leans to recuperate. The following IS from a letter dated there May 2S:

We expect to be ordered up to Baton Rouge, but there is no certainty. I am in hopes the war will terminate soon, so that 1 can get home. 1 shall come as soon as the river is open to travel, anyhow I think I can get a leave of absence. I trust I shall not come home with only one change of clothing, and myself in 1t, wearing a loose pine or walnut overcoat."
 A postscript to the same letter eives the stirring news which reached New Orleans while the writer was depicting the pleasures of life there and shows his sharp summons to the field.
 Col. Cowles, of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth New York. was killed yesterday at Port Hudson; also Col. Chapin. of the One Hundred and Six teenth New York. Gen. Weitzel's brig ade has done noble service. and Capt S. and myself are all on fire to be with them. We start tomorrow a. m. Our regiment will be along some time in the night. and l shall go up the river with it. Lieut.. N is by my side, writing to his wife. My joke about my pine or walnut overeoat may not be without it's realization. If 1 do realize 1t. may God bless you all"
 This was probably the last letter that this officer wrote home. Two weeks had passed after We reached our lines around Port Hudson. and then came the terri ble and bloody assault of June A. Capt T. was unusually reserved and seri- ous in he interim; have heard that he informed some of his comrades that he had premonition of approaching death He seemed thoughtful on the night of the 18th, when We separated. He tried to speak lightly as we grasped hands. but it was plain that he was laboring under some constraint
 Before sunrise of the next morning hundreds of men in blue were dead or wounded before the confederate works was taken off on a stretcher, and on the way saw poor T. once more. He lay on the ground breathing his last. but able to recognize me, though he could not speak, He was shot through the breast, and lived but few minutes His remains lie in the cemetery at Baton Rouge.
 There could have been no sharper, more painful contrast than that be- tween the pleasant pictures present. ed by his letter and that offered by his own death very soon among thousands of such of that time

WARM TIME IN IOWA MEETING
Dispute over Pay of Emergency Men
Nearly Causes a Rupture.

Dispute over Pay of Emergency Men
Nearly Causes a Rupture.
DIES MONIES, April "A rupture in
the joint conference of the United Mine
Workers and operators of Iowa division
was narrowly averted here today in a
clash over the pay of the emergency men
on service in the mines during the shut
down pending an agreement or disagree
ment on the wage scale. The miners in
sisted that the emergency men were only
wanted temporarily and that they should
be taken out tonight IL, the operators
would not consent So"pay them the 1903
scale. The operators refused. In the heat
OF discussion President White of the Mine
Workers, who just reached the city from
Indianapolis, came to the rescue by an
nouncing that the emergency men should
remain In the mines during the negotia-
tons with the understanding that they
should receive the scale to be fixed by the
joint scale committee which meets tomor-
row. This was finally agreed to by the
operators and miners. The final decision
regarding the scale will be reported prior
to April IS according to statements made
by the leaders today.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-04-04

Territory have received overtures from
operators with a view to signing the scale.
There is TO be a meeting OF the operators
at South McAlester tomorrow. and, al
though there will be no conference with
the miners until after the meeting there
Is every reason to believe that the OPP
orators Of the district viii sign and re-
sumo work within the next few days.
In the Kansas field number OF operators
are ready to sign the scale as soon as Il is
ready. A district convention to be held in
Pittsburg, Kan. next MONDAY will arrange
the details of the contract. BY the mid
die OF next week IL is expected the con-
tract will be signed by many operators in
the Kansas field. All the mines in the
southwest remain closed.
Omaha daily bee., 1906-04-04
COMPLETE SUSPENSION IN OHIO
District Omeers Authorized to sign
1903 Scale.


District Omcers Authorized to sign
1903 Scale.
COLUMBUS, o., April S.-The executive
board OF the Ohio Mine Workers today de-
cided to permit the miners to sign contracts
with any operators who are willing to pay
the 1908 scale The various subdistrict or
CARNATIONS will prepare agreements based
on the 1903 scale, adjusted to meet changes
in conditions since the scale was drafted
which will be presented to those operators
who are willing to sign contracts. Meetings
of the miners of the subdistricts will be
held for this purpose and there will be
about eighteen in all Of these meetings
The FIRST win be held at Athens next Fri
day and will comprise the miners of the
Hooking valley. The wages paid in the
Hooking valley have for years been the
basis for all state agreements, and for this
reason the scale for these mines will be
adjusted first. The operators of the Hook
ing valley will meet at Athens next Monday
and a joint conference will be held. The
position which the operators take in that
conference will have much to do with de-
termining the action OF the operators in the
other districts of Ohio.
As there are great quantities of coal
stored and there is no pressing necessity for
the operation of many of the mines, It may
be thirty days before contracts are ready in
all Of the subdlstricts. There is a complete
suspension Of work in the mines Of the
state.
Horace L. Chapman, one of the members
of the bituminous operators advisory
board, said today that he had been in
communication with the leading operators
Of Illinois. Indiana and eastern Ohio and
all Of them would continue firm in oppo.
sition to the miners demands.
The operators, who are opposed to pay
ing any advance in the mining scale, have
appointed a joint advisory board consisting
Of two members from eacn state. No new
action is to be taken in the matter of a
settlement of the mining question by any
state without consultation through this
board.
It's members for Ohio are: John II. Win
der and II. L. Chapman of Columbus; In
