How Grant Got His West Point Appoint
meut.

hioW Srnnt LOT his west Point Appoint
ment
An Ohio member Of Congress SAWS
that General Grant once gave him the
following account Of his admission to
West point: When was boy, liv-
ing in Georgetown, Ill.,, my mother
ran out Of butter one morning, and
needing some before it could be had at
the store, she sent me over to the next
door neighbours to borrow some. l
was just us well acquainted there as
was at home almost, and opened the
door rand went in without knocking,
and just rs / went in one of the folks.
the old gentleman, believe, was read
lng letter from son who was in
West Point. didn't want to disturb
them while they were reading the let
ter, and stood there and heard what
was read. Well, the son said in this
letter that he had been fonnd-that is,
nc had failed to pass examination, and
he would have to come home, and he
had sent the letter one mail ahead, so
that the surprise at his ret,,iu might
not be SO great. When they got
through ] borrowed the butter and
took 1t home, and then rushed down
to Thomas L. Ilamar's officc--hc
was our Congressman then--and ash.
cd him if he wouldn't send me to West
Point. He told Inc that he couldn't
send me until this other boy rot
through, and that wouldn't bc for
three years yet. "But, IIarmar," said
l, "supposc this boy should fail to
pass the examination, and should be
sent home, will you send me then?'
"Wc1l, Uly," said he, III guoss if he
trying it,"
"But | want YOU to promise that
YOU will send me-" said I.
"All right" said hc, eff ho can't get
through promise to let you try"
During the day IIamar heard about
the other fellow, and the next day
went and asked if he had heard the
nows.. lie said he had, and after
laughing ut me for tho way I had got
him to make the promise, hc said II
was all right, should go. Well, I
went, and because my mother hap-
pcned to be out Of butter has made me

been brought home to their " hearths
that it is a family medicine which is of
the utmost value in cases OF malaria, dys-
pepsia, debility, disordered conditions of

in contrasting it with the many prepar-

The correctness of their belief in lts

firmation in expressions of opinion BY
medical men, and the approval Of the

Dead wood Pioneer: The Yankton Press

sion that 1t ia run in the interest OF its pro.
prietors. And yet, come to think of il, why
should a newspaper office BE- any more the
property Of political parties or the public

az much a business establishment a. any Of

The citizens ofSpearish have unanimous
" agreed to act apart forty acres Of land to
be cultivated and made ready for the pro-
posed institution Of learning, at that place.
A great deal of intereat is manifeated in re-
gard to this matter. Twenty thousand feet
of lumber has been secured and paid for,
and over a thousand dollars in money sub
acribed. We predict that an institution Of
that kind thoroughly established in the
! Hills, will flourish, aud eventually become
one of the leading educational points in the
west.

Senator Don .Camsron's resolution for tn
appointment of an interstate commerc
committee has already been referred to i
the Press and Dakotaian kilograms. 1t is
move in the right direction. The graspina
reckless rapacity of the majority of ~railroa,
men in the country to-day, is startling, whel
the subject is seriously considered, and IN
less the government can devise some way q
checking their criminal tendencies an,
bringing railroad corporations TO recogniz
the fact that railroads are built for the PEG
pie andsnqt people for the railroads. Their
will be serious trouble. There is hardly
community in the west to-day that does no
entertain to q greater or less extent tn,
opinion that they have been needlessl,
wronged by railroad people, and the latte
class have come to regard the general. goot
as a matter of secondary importance in al
theifstransactions. Thus far in the develop
ment OF the vest, the rivairies of section.

diplomacy of railroad builders, thus encour

general discomfort over this subject as com.
munities become more enlightened, will
force the scoundrels into prison or exile, and
place respectable men in charge Of these i'm.
portant and growing interests.
Mr.. Cameron introduced such a ~resoln-
ton last congress, but it was not adopted. In
support Of it he read a written speech. He
referred to the wonderful growth of the
transportation system of the country. and
especially railroads, and then to charges
which have been made against the manage
ment of the latter, especially as to their
pooling ARRANGEMENTS. He SAID that he
fully Concurred in the belief that the power
of railway managers to distribute the pro.
per currents of business and importance Of
localities BY their ability to FIX their own
rates should be curtailed or placed within
proper limits. In view of the present situ.
alton he believed the first duty was to secure
an early investigation of the whole subject,
and considered that the best way Of making
such an investigation was BY . commission
