BIOGRAPHICAL.

Charles Anderson Dana was born at
Hinsdale, n. H, Aug. s. 1919. His boy
hood was spent in Buffalo, n. Y, where
he worked in a store until he was IS years
old. He prepared himself for college, en-
tering Harvard in 1929, but after two
years a serious trouble with his eye sight
compelled him to leave. He was after
wards given his bachelors and master S
degrees by that institution. In 1912 he
became a member of the Brook Farm AS
ISOLATION for Agricultural and Education.
His earliest newspaper experience was
gained in the management of the Hardin
ger which was devoted to social reform
and general literature. After about two
years of editorial work ON Elizur Wright
Boston Chronotype, a daily newspaper,
Mr.. Dana Joined the staff of the New
York Tribune in 1S47. The next year he
became one of the proprietors and the
managing editor of The Tribune, post
which he held until April 1, 1862. Mr..
Dana resigned, after 10 years service On
The Tribune, because of a disagreement
with Mr. Greeley in regard to the proper
conduct of military operations in the
South, was at once employed by Secretary
Stanton in special work of Importance
for the war department, and in 1888 was
appointed assistant secretary of war,
which office he held until after the
surrender of Lee. He was brought into
close personal relations with Mr.. Stanton
and Mr.. Lincoln. At the time when Gen
eral Grants character and probable use
fulness were unknown quantities, Mr..
Dana's confidence in Grants military
ability probably did much to defeat the
powerful effort then making to break
down the rising commander. For short
time after the war he was editor of the
Chicago Republican. Returning to New
York, he organized The Sun stock com
pany in 1867. The first number of The
Sun appeared Jan. 81, 1868, and from that
time to within few days of his death Mr..
Dana was solely responsible for it's con-
duct.
Mr.. Dana's first book was volume 81
stories translated from the German, en-
titled 1.-THE Black Art" In 1855 he planned
and edited, with George Ripley the "New
American Cyclopedia." Several later edi
tions have been issued. With General
James II. Wilson he wrote ''Lifeof Gen,
eral Ulysses S. Grant" in 1868. His
"Household Book of Poetry has passed
through many editions. He also edited
in 1888 Fifty Perfect Poems," Rossite1
Johnson assisting him in the work.

that grand army of civilization which
carried the "star of empire westward,
and of whom it was then said:
We hear the tread of pioneers,
Of nations yet to be;
The first low wash of waves, where soon
Shall roll human sea;
we deem it proper that the territorial
pioneers of Minnesota-they who laid the
foundation of our magnificent North Star
state, and are bound together by the ties
of brotherhood and sympathy, formed
and cemented amid the dangers, trials
and privations of frontier life-should, by
means of more perfect and fraternal
organization, be brought more closely to-
gether, and to the end that the memories
and friendships of those early days may
be perpetuated, and to assist in the pres
ervation of our history covering that
period; and for the formation OF more
perfect union and brotherhood, we do
hereby SO organize and adopt and sub
scribe to the following articles of associa-
ton.
ANY male citizen of the state, who
was resident prior to May II, 1858, is
entitled to membership after the usual
formalities have been gone through
with. Wives of members and women
who were living in the state at that
time are entitled to honorary member
ship. Each county is to be provided
with an enterprising corresponding
secretary. These secretaries are to re-
port all deaths of members in the
county, with biographical sketches OF
the persons.
Secretary O'Connor is now busily en-
gagged in sending membership rolls to
the several counties to enable the ter
ritorial pioneers residing in the county
to become enrolled. Except in a few
counties these rolls have been sent to
the county auditor.
1t is hoped that all territorial pioneers
will without delay becomce members.
Since the election of officers several
changes have taken place (by death and
otherwise) and the official roster is now
as follows: President, Colonel A. Allen,
