MAGNIFICENT Engraying.

We have received from George
Stinson & Co., of Portland, Maine,
the well-known art publishers, a
magnificent, full length, steel en-
craving of General Grant. 1t is af-
ter Anderson's celebrated photo
graph, which was made while the
general was still in full vigor, and
represents him In his sturdy, manly
strength, as the people wish to re-
member him. 1t is, undoubtedly,
the best portrait ever made of the
general.
Messrs. Stinson & Co. are in need
of agents for several important,
new publications, and offer induce
ments that should lie needed by
those in need of profitable work F.;
those who write to them will re-
ceive, free, full particulars.

New York, Nov. 2S.--Col. Wood

New York, Nov. 2S.--Col. Wood
ward, former Indianapolis news
paper man, who wrote over the pen
name of "Jay Hawker," being in
terveiwed, said of Mr.. Hendricks
yesterday: "Seven years ago he
had an attack of paralysis on the
right side, from which he never
fully recovered. He knew his con-
dition perfectly, and always ex-
pected death from stroke of apo.
plexy. Tie first attack told some-
what in time upon his mind but did
not frighten him. He seldom went
from home without his wife, but
this came more from desire to
have her with him at the end than
any fear Of death. He had an in
nate sense of decency and fair play
in all the personal relations of life,
and when the personal attacks were
made upon Blaine and Cleveland in
the campaign. he was the first pub
lie man in the country to denounce
them as infamous"

We notice the last Breckenridge
Gazette makes mention of the Mani
toba shop and round house removal
question, claiming that should the
shops he removed toward Wahpe-
ton on the common near Fred.
Stewards warerooms, would really
be to Wahpeton's advantage, giving
the latter equal if not better advan-
tagcs than Breckenridge would have.
hence Wahpeton need not give any
extraordinary inducements. Then
the Gazette proposes to take the
shops away off to the north of
breckenridge, locating on the river
bank. There may be good accom-
modations there, &C., but the COM
pany will likely take into considera-
tion the fact that the bulk of her
business at this section is done ut
Wahpeton. and if it cared to retain
this in 50 large measure it would
pay to do anything reasonable
Everything else being equaD to re-
tain it, there being such competi-
tion at Wahpeton; besides this their
present crossing into Dakota is
about as good as it could be, possibly
the best that could be had. One of
Wahpeton's greatest obs tacles would
be, probably, a provision for drain
ing off waste water, and even this
might be worked in connection with
sewer for the city. The Wahpe-
ton water company could furnish
the water in the first place, in great
abundance.

sette party at the rink Saturday
night.
Clergymen can be supplied with
half-fare tickets over the Northern
Pacific road, by leaving their names

E. G. Campbell, the new manager
of the roller rink is doing his level

day night there will be an apron
and rosette party there. The cor
net band will be present. and as
usual, will furnish the very best of
music. Ed. says he will let every
body have big time this winter if
he don't lay up cent.
w. H. Vanderbilt has stepped
down and out of the management
of the great Vanderbilt interests,
leaving the same in the hands of his
sons, Cornelius, William and Fred
erick and son.in-law, Chauncy De-
pew. Mr.. Vanderbilt sat convers-
ing with the railroad magnate Gar
rett and sudnenly fell forward on
his face, dying instantly, the doctors
say from the effects of a blood ves-
sci bursting at the base of the brain.
His property is estimated at
5000, 100000, in railroad stocks and
government bonds. There is prob
ably no doubt about his perpetual
ing the estate in the main, by leav-
ing it in the hands of one or posi-
bly, two sons, Cornelius being the
paincipal. 1t is he who has manag-
ed the same more than any other
excepting W. H. himself. He is 40
years old; his father was nearly IS.
There seems to be three boys and
four daughters in the family. W.
II. is thought to have been the rich
est man in tho world, and there was
not, prabably, a more sordid and sell
fish one among the wealthy.

Not q Gasolene Stove.

There seems TO be an inclination on
the part of some to create a prejudice
against gasolene stoves, and a recent
issue of the St. Paul PiOneerPreSS
contained the following item:
About S o'clock last night gasolene stove
exploded in the residence OF A b Mobiles,
No. 500 Ienrepjn avenue, and set fire to the
structure Nj. Mobiles who is a book-keeper
for Pollock, Donaldson x Ogden, was out OF
the city at the time and his wife too iii
to aid in any way to the salvation OF the
building or its contents, and 1t was totally
DESTROYED The fire department was called
out. but could do no work owing to the lack
OF water The total loss is $4,000; covered
by insurance.
\ number of gasolene stoves are US
ed in this city, one in the family OF
Joseph NJ. Smith, who wrote to MI.
| Mobiles. mentioned in the above item,
for the purpose of aScertaining wheth-
er or not the fire which destroyed his
residence actually originated from the
explosion of gasolene stove, and re.
ceived the following under date OF
September 22d in response:
Dear Sir:-In reply to your letter OF
sle DIST inst. just received, will state
that. while it is not definitely known i,
| feel assured from the circumstances
that the fire which destroyed my
house resulted from an oil store in
which. we burned kerosene, from the
same can with which we supplied our
lamps. The house was built year
ago last spring, and has never contain
ed any gGS0tene or gdS0teRe store.
The oil stove wac . small one, name,
Argand, with two lights, ana We nave
used it four years. | do not think
there was an explosion, as the stove
was thrown out, and there seemed TO
be no evidence Of it. My wife had
used the stove about an hour before,
and as she supposed, turned it out,
but there may have been small blaze
left and the wind coming in at the
window, which was open, may have
caused it to communicate to some ar
ticle of clothing or something else
that may have fallen near it. The
party making the report to the blo,
neer-Press, was very hasty in his con-
illusions, stating that | WAS out Of the
city, when | was at the desk where l
now write. Trusting that this eXpla-
nation Will allay all uneasiness about
gasolene stoves, that the report of my
fire may have caused, remain,
Yours very respectfully,

The Ellsworth Fair.

Inc SbCOIlu AulidI IAIllDlJlOiA VI
the Pierce County Central Fair and
Stock Exchange, held upon the FAIR
Grounds of the Society, at Ellsworth,
on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
of last week, was in all respects de-
cided success. The energetic officers
of the Association were Jealous IN
their efforts to secure an exhibit that
would amply repay visitors for attend
ing the Fair and they were fully COM
pensated for their labors by the very
general expression of satisfaction by
the large cOncourse of people who con-
gregated to view the attractions there
presented. The weather throughout
the Fair was beautiful--all that could
have been desired-and not less than
four thousand people were on the
grounds Thursday, the special features
for which day were the address by
Hon. B. b. Herbert, of Red Wing,
Minnesota, and the balloon ascension
by Prof. Hogan. Mr.. Herbert's adj
dress was a practical one, appropriate
for the occasion, and the balloon as
cension was an unqualified success.
The display in the Main Building,
of grains, vegetables, honey, merchan.
disc, domestic manufactures, fine arts,
curiosities, etc, was fine one, while
c. II. Tyler's aggregation of stuffed
animals, birds and reptiles was to all
an interesting exhibit, and Mr.. Tyler
received many compliments for the
skill with which his collection had been
prepared and the faultless taste shown
in its arrangement for exhibition.
uHba Jic,,laU of borsaS was pSnppI1lIV
fine, and said to surpaSs that at the re-
cent Red Wing Fair, AMI the display
of cattle, sheep, swine and poultry, al
SO, was excellent in quality.
Bill Nye, who was billed for speech
on Friday, failed to put in an appear
ancp, and the ascension of the intrep-
id Prof. Hogan on Friday came near
being his previous to the resur-
rection. The balloon was Inflated IN
close proximity to grove of trees
and When started upon its aerial Voy-
age it took northeasterly course be-
fore rising high enough for the trapeze
bar to clear the trees beneath and the
gallant aerOnaut was Snatched through
the branches with great force. lie
was at last compelled to let go the
trapeze and as the airship continued
its voyage without its precious freight
the spectators shuddered to think
what might be the fate OF the Profess
or. They were not long held in suS-
pense, however. as he proved to be as
much at home in tree-top as upon Il
trapeze. Fortunately he was not seri-
ously injured and grasping one of the
branches of tall tree he climbed
nimbly down and started after his
balloon which was recovered in an
open field three or four miles away.
The success of this Fair places the
Association upon solid footing and we
congratulate our friends at the "hub'
upon the success that has crowned
their efforts to found an institution
that shall be an annual reflex, at the
most accessible point in the county, OF
our agricultural, mechanical and in
duStrial resources

business We would specially point
to Mr.. +. j. Burhyte i'll this connec-
ton as being the importer of very
fine brand Of pure Tea, of which he
has the sole control for this district.
That this gentleman imports his own
peculiar brand direct from the grow
ers is in itself proof of his enter
prise; and that good Judgment has
accompanied this enterprise is shown
by the fact that ''Faultless Tea,
which is the name of his brand, is
imported only III Perfection Tea Cans
