In a letter from Hon. n. Z. Kendall
from Washington he has been prac-
tically all over the Sixth district and
that the factionl discord which at one
time prevailed is rapidly disappearing.
While there are varied opinions re-
garding the new tariff bill, he fears no
bad results. The people, he thinks,
will become more familiar with it in
time and be more competent to pass
judgment upon it. He says he is al
ways willing to abide by the decision
of the people as to their own interests.
r. T. Rhys, state mine inspector,
made an official call here last Wed.
nesday. Mr.. Rhys was the Iowa rep
resentatiye to the national convention
of inspectors recently held in Pitts
burg and he informs me that the most
important topic before the convention
was regarding explosives to be used
in the mines in order to avoid explos-
ions, and he is confident that at no dis
tant day black powder will be doomed
as an explosive in the coal mines. He
says that mines in his district are
running at least four days a week and
the coal trade is getting better Mr..
Rhys left no special recommendations
here as he found the ventilation of the
mines greatly improved since his
former visit, and the sanitary condi-
ton very fair.
