Colonel Fred Grant,s Little F1neel

Colonel Fred Grants Little Finger. 1 lGalena Ql) Letter to the Chicago Inter-ocean.l l The Colonel has a handsome, well-shaped
 hand, of which he is somewhat proud, and
 naturally hides this defect as much as possi- ble when in the company of others. The story of how he lost his finger was related to the correspondent to-day by one of his for mer juvenile companions at the time the Grants occupied the little two story brick on
 High street, in this city, in 1S60 Fred was then about ten years of age, and being fa- vorite of his grandfather, Jesse B. Grant,
 had been presented by him with handsome single barrelled shotgun, an article which he had long coveted and plead for with his fath- CT in vain. Jesse maintained that his
 nephew, Frederick, was old enough to know how to use gun; that he wanted one badly and should have one, and when the youngsters birthday came around he got the weapon, together with a liberal supply of ammunition. His first practice shots were
 upon the hordes of rats in the barn of L. s. Felt, near neighbor of the Grants. His most successful effort, however, was in shoot ing off his little finger by accident, the gun
 having been prematurely exploded while he standing with his left hand over the muZzle. The finger was almost entirely sev cred by the charge and hung only by strip of skin. With great deliberat Ion the plucky Fred toek out his knife and cut the shred
 which held the finger, and placing the ampu-
 tated member in his pocket he slung the gun over his shoulder and leisurely trudged into | the house to his mother, to whom he broke | the news of the occurrence as gently as pos sible. Mrs. Grant, with characteristic moth erly affection, deplored the accident and 1 nearly went into mysteries over it, so great was her grief at the misfortune which had
 befallen her beloved boy. Fred took the
 matter philosophically throughout and con- soled his mother as best he could, telling her that she ought to be thankful it was not | worse. His father, then Captain Grant, was sent for likewise the family doctor. Both arrived in due time and the wounded hand | was ere long properly dressed and placed in | a sling, after which operation the dismem- bered finger was buried in the back yard of | the Haines premises by the troop of juveniles who were present when the accident oe
 cured. The affair came off with great so- | lemnity and due pomp, Fred being present | himself as chief mourner. Funeral chants | were sung, Miss Sue Felt (now Mrs. J. Allen l Barber, of Chicago) and Miss Flora Haines | (now Mrs. G. E. Woodbury, of GalenaJ lead | ing the choir. When Captain Grant reached
 home on the day of the accident his only re-
 mark was, after examining the nature of the
 injury, "Well, Fred, this will disqualify you 1 for admission to West Point" But it didn't, | however, as subsequent events showed.

English PrIncesse. M odestly shopping


 The daughters of the Princess of Wales had very jolly holiday at Torquay. They went shopping by themselves and ran into place after place to make their little pur- chases, with evident delight at their freedom. On the second day of their stay they ap- peared in fine buoyant spirits at boot store with short stick which, they explained, was the length of their mothers foot, and they wanted pair of rubbers, ''goloshes," they called them, ''for mamma" It was quite comical scene, for the salesman en- tered into the spirit of their fun and tried the stick in all sizes and conditions of over shoes until the young ladies were satisfied. They bad them wrapped up, paid for them and walked away with the parcel under the arm of the youngest of the three, for they quite refused to have their purchases ''sent' while they were at Torauay.

A SUGGESTION.

st. Paul has responded to the pathetic
appeal which stricken Charleston makes to
the country for assistance, but she has not
responded in the generous-hearted OPEN
handed manner which generally character
ICES her when she hears the cry of the suf-
fering. She should do more, for there is
yet great need in the Southern city and it
grows greater. At this distance it is diff
cult to realize the desolation that has been
wrought but it is there, and that should be
sufficient. 1t is not an easy matter, however,
to make up a. fund from voluntary
contributions. 1t is the least satisfactory
of all methods. Each person fancies there
will be enough without his contribution,
and as result next to nothing is subscribed
People want to be coaxed to be charitable
They must be cajoled out of their money.
And that is just what should be done in ST.
Paul for the Charleston sufferers. Let
some method be devised whereby form of
entertainment may be furnished, and people
will gladly patrOnize it under its charitable
guise. A bazaar of all nations, or a
kirmess, such as were SO popular through
out the East last winter, would, if
eharitably disposed women could be inter
ested in the matter, be exceedingly attract
i've; would cost but little to organize, and
would prove highly remunerative. St.
Paul has had nothing in the nature of a
grand fancy fair for a long time. She
possesses sufficient talent to make one emil
nently successful, both from an artistic and
financial point of view. Why could not
something of the kind be carried into effect
for the benefit of the Charleston sufferers?

CHICAGo,s GAS ENTERPBIsE,

Chicago has been in a restless mood ever
since natural gas has been utilized in other
sections. The idea of nature scattering a
profusion of light and heat around in differ
ent spots and leaving Chicago out in the
cold in dark is something that the Chicago
people can't understand and wont be recon.
ciled to. They look upon it as disarrange-
ment of Nature when anything that earth
produces is denied to Chicago. But while
it is Iameutable fact that Nature has left
Chicago out of its calculations in a great
many ways, it is also gratifying fact that
Chicago enterprise generally makes up the
deficiency And this plucky enterprise is
now about to remedy the natural-gas defect
by the organization of a company for the
purpose of piping gas into the city. The
nearest gas field is at some point in In
diana, but distance of few hundred miles
is no obstacle to Chicago enterprise.
Ex-Gov. FOSTER. of Ohio, is now in Chi
cago giving his personal attention to the
enterprise Gov. FOSTER gives it out that
he has retired from politics and is devOting
his time exclusively to natural gas affairs.
He says he finds it more profitable and
more to his taste. He is now going to
bring natural gas into Chicago, and in re-
turn for his services he may be rewarded
some day with the Office of alderman. 1t
is more profitable to be an alderman in
Chicago than it is to be United States SEN
ator from Ohio. Calico CHARLIE is a
knowing fellow.

THE RING TRIUMPH.
A Product of Ring Rule and Ma
chine MethodsssN0 Irish Need Ap-

pEys
St. Paul Dispatch (Rep.)
The ticket nominated is unQuestionably the
product of ring rule and machine methods
unworthy the Republican party. Its head is
a man of negative qualities,la very nice gen.
tleman, but of limited ability, and possessing
no distinctive characteristics. Himself and
his policy are simply the reflection of ADLER
men. The Republican majority of this state
may perhaps be relied on to elect him, and If
so, it will be generally conceded that Loren
Fletcher, of Minneapolis, will be virtually
governor, and that r. B. Langdon will not be
entirely without influence in the administra-
ton. The balance of the ticket is divided
up among the various nationalities, saving
and excepting the Irish, a great many of
whom cast their votes for James G. Blaine
two years age, and indeed carried Ramsey
county for him. 1t is possible that with good
treatment a good many Irish voters, espec-
tally those in sympathy with Bishop Ireland
temperance views, might be drawn by the
high license plank in the Republican platform
to vote the Republican ticket, but the con-
vention NEGLECTED. to cultivate this field One
grain of consolation to the opponent of ring
rule, is the defeat of Sam Nichols for clerk
of the supreme court. Sam has been faith
full henchman to the ring, but they had to
drop him to save the head of the ticket. At
least one-haf of the Republican majority In
the state lies in the Fifth congressional district
and it IS unfortunate that the majority in the
convention saw fit to slight and insult the
represen tatiyes of that section. Their treat
ment has left sting of bitterness which it
will require considerable effort to allay be-
tween now and election day.

ESTABLISH QUARANTINE,

1t is demonstrated beyond doubt that
pleuro-pneumonia exists in Chicago.
Nearly two thousand animals which are
being fattened for killing have been ex-
posed to the disease. and several have died
from its effects. This is a matter in which
Minnesota is concerned deeply. The stock
interests of this state are among her most
valuable possessions and should not be
allowed to be jeopardized in any possible
way. Doubtless the quarantine established
by local inspectors in Chicago and the
vigilance exercised by them will go far
toward preventing a spread of the disease.
but it is matter in which the Minnesota
officials should also be on their guard 1t
is much better to take every precaution
against the importation of the dreaded
plague, even if those precautions are ex-
pensive and troublesome, than to be obliged
to make still more costly fight against it
after it has gained foothold. The stock
men and dairymen of the state have right
to expect the most rigid protection, and the
present instance is one where it should be
vigorously exercised. Let quarantine
measures be adopted at once.

Good Chance for a De mocrat.

Special to the GLOBE.
PIPEsToNE, Sept. 23.-The nomination
of John Stuart for senator by the Demo
Gratis of this district at their convention
held at Fulda yesterday is looked Upon by
the party in this comfy as one of the best
moves that could have been made to secure
to them success at the polls in November.
Mr. Stuart is a man well known through
out the entire district, and has many
friends in both parties, who will do all they
can to insure him success. The nomina-
ton was not sought by him, and as yet he
knows nothing of it. being absent in Da-
kota. His nomination now makes four
candidates in the senatorial field, the other
three being w. B. Brown, the Republican
nominee; Daniel Rohrer, of WorthingtOn,
Independent, and Fred Bloom, of Wood
stock, Independent. The Democrats look
upon this state of affairs as very fortunate
for them, as Rohrer anu Bloom are both
Republicans and the votes they get will
nearly all be from that party, which will
lessen Browns strength. for it is acknowl-
edged that Rohrer will poll pretty heavy
vote in Mobiles county, as win also Bloom
in the western part of Murray county and in
different towns in this county.

derstand that they would brook no rivalry
from him, and that he and his Scandinavian
following must bow in submission toe their
despotic rule or be crushed beneath their
imperial power. When Mr.. NELSON re-
fused to bow before the BAAL of bossism.
the priests at the altar spat upon him and
humbled him in the sight of his own people.
But the most significant the most thorough
and the crueleSt insult of all was that which
was hurled at Ex-Governor CUsHMAN K.
DAVIS. If the convention had been called
for the sole and express purpose of Shaping
Mr.. DAVIS face, its object would not have
been accomplished more thoroughly than 1t
was done by the convention last Wednes-
day. Not once or twice only was insult
showered upon Mr.. DAVIS, but from the
beginning to the ending an opportunity
was not lost to emphasize the fact that the
ring bosses were cutting his throat. 1t
was done in cold blood and with
an exhibition OF dabolical glee that made
one shndder to look upon it. Gov. DAVIS
is recognized as the brainest man III his
party. The younger and more progressive
element of the party recently started
DAVIS senatorial boom. This was sufficient
to arouse the jealousy of the old regime,
who will not tolerate boom for anybody
that does not wear the badge of ring servi-
tude. Because he refused to capitulate to
the ring Gov. DAVIS was selected as
notable victim. whose sacrifice would be a
signal warning to all future Republican
politicians who might be disposed to exer-
else political Independence. So important
was it that the supremacy of ring rule and
boss domination should be asserted that the
houses of PILsBURY and LANGDoN for
time forgot their ancient feud and came to-
gether to officiate at the cruciiXiOn of
DAVIS. 1t was pitiable sight to see the
best blood and brains of the Republican
party mingled in the sacrifices which were
offered upon the altar of Bossism. But it
was done. and done with relentless and
vindictive barbarity that has never been
equaled in the history of ring rule. There
is no use in talking about reforming party
which is SO completely under the domina-
ton of the ringmaster. The only way to
reform it is to overthrow it.

A FIRE AT vERNDALE.
1t Began at M idnig hit aud Destroyed
n BLOCK of Buildings.


Special to the Globe.
VERNDALE, Mimi, Sept. "a, a. NJ
At 10 o'clock sharp an alarm of fire rang
out through the air in our quiet
little city. Every resident was on the
ground ready for action. The lire was first
discovered by Mr.. Rhoads, who gave the
alarm and when first seen was under full
Roadway. The fire was unauestionably the
work of an incendiary, as it was
burning from the outside of Rhoads' build
ing. 1t soon caught the saloon building
and it was then an impossibility to save
any structures in the whole block, as the
town has no water supply and no fire APP
paratus. A good share of the stock from
the different buildings was removed, but it
was badly damaged. The first building
on the corner was owned by Mrs. A. E.
Smith, the lower part being occupied by j.
J. HendrickSon as saloon. Loss on stock
81, 900; loss on building $1,000. Most of
Mrs. Smiths household effects were saved.
The Culbertson building, occupied by the
harrington hardware store was damaged
50. 900. A. E. Foster occupied the
upper part: loss on goods $3.50;
loss on building $1,000; Ben Laloen, loss
on building 81 600. on stock 81, 800; D. G.
Rhoades building 5000, stock $500; Joe Hill,
residence, occupied by E. l.. Harrison. on
building $3.50, On goods $500. The
insurance on all the buildings and stock
was very light and in several places
none at all. The buildings on the west
side of the street were badly damaged, all
the glass having been broken by the heat.
1t was only by the hardest work that the
other business houses on the north side Of
the track were saved. The loss falls on
those unable to bear it, and the prospects Of
rebuilding are not fiatteiing.
