Output of the Minneapolis Mills-PrQspect

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Dec. 9.-In its weekly
review for Dec. II the Northwestern Miller will
say: "Last week closed without notable event,
except that the -four production was the liehtest
for number of years. The output Of the five
mills that amounted to 1907 barrels,
averaging 2, l0l barrels daily, against $50
barrels the preceding week and 152. 800 the
same period last year. This week number
of mills are endeavoring to run, but since
Monday have not succeeded very we'll Sundays
cold snap had the effect of greatly lowering the
water in the river, and since that time the
power has been very poor The Miller believes
there will be shortage of water-power from
this on. AT noon to-day nine mills were in oper-
alton, but the power was not good, there being
only about eight feet of water in the canal,
against fifteen week ago, and the mills were
not. getting, along very well: The ca
pacty of these mills is $4,000 barrels,
5000 Of which is steam power. Two
more, representing 300 barrels, will be started
to morrow. Another of 1,500 barrels capacity
will be put in motion on Monday, and probably
others" The Miller reports the demand for -four
rather more active, but prices no better. Re-

General Grant as an Artist.

CAMDEN, N. j., Dec. CIT has been generally
imagined that there was only one picture in exist
ence which was painted by General Grant, and
that that one was in possession of the Borie fam
lily. Another production has been brought to
offered and who has refused to take S. 900 for it.
The picture is an ordinary looking water-color
landscape. Close inspection shows in the left
hand corner the name gu. H. Grant" The mi
tials stand for Ulysses Hiram Grant, baptismal
name.
Mr. Rotheray got the picture from his mother,
a resident Of New York State, who, in her girl
hood, was native of Galena. She received it
from the dead General herself. He painted it in
1843, while he was a cadet at West Point, and
presented it to her as memento of having
escorted Mrs. Rotheray on trip East when he
went to West Point
George w. Childs has beer shown che picture,
and, having been told its history, asserted that
there was no doubt that General Grant painted it.

They Have No Fears of the Bloody Shirt.

III.
Mark Twain's article in the December Century
deals with his war experience as a confederate
soldier in Missouri. He holds out the idea that
his campaign was the result of boyish freak,
but the Boston Record makes the point that. as
he was twenty four years old, he must have
known what he was doing. If Mark did his duty
as good confederate, he has nothing to be
ashamed of. He should be above pleading the
baby act.

short consultation the commander of the new

the lane. Without any prelimin-
airy motion it made tie second
leap. and covered the immense dis
lance of thirty-three feet, clearing
the fence on the other side of the
lane. There was a heavy fall of
snow, and it was therefore an easy
matter to determine the distance
