1t is said that the late Charles A.

itors who were rs well known as the

Henry Waterson. Dana was more than
a great editor. His versatility was
wonderful. Whether as a student of
language or poetry, IA botanist, on the
lecture platform, in the sanctum of the
Sun, or in many other fields, he was a
notable figure. At the same time he
was man peculiar and inexplicable
He has been on more sides of more

in the past halt-century, not even ex-
cepting Ben Butler. Consistency new

justify himself. Under his tutelaec a

grand master in the use Of English, es-
pecially of words that wither and scorn
that burns. Dana was one who enjoy
ed the pleasures of this lite, though his
advanced age indicates that he did not
pursue them to excess.

should complain because Of the present
high price. but the reason is well un-
derstood. There was IA very short
crop hereabouts. Many farmers have
not seen their seed back. The few
more fortunate ones have secured only
partial crop. Even at the high price
there are no more dollars-if as many
coming to the American growers as
last year. If, now, potatoes were duty
free and the foreign article could be
brought in easily, the returns of the
potato crop to our growers would be
almost nothing and the Canadians
would profit by our misfortune.

The Luetgert jury disagreed, nine
standing for conviction and three for
acquittal. 1t is very doubtful if he is
brought TO trial again. The state pre-
scented its strongest case and q second
trial would be no more decisive. ii is
feared. The case is the most nota-
bic one in the history of American
criminal Jurisprudence, and the trial,
lasting nearly six weeks, has been
watched with keen interest all over the
country. Luetgert,a German. the pro-
prietor ofa sausage factory in Chica-
90, was accused of killing his wife and
dissolving her body in caustic potash
IN one OF his sausage vats The wom-
an did, in fact, disappear and has
never returned. Various bones were
found in and around the vat and also
some finger rings said to have been
Mrs. Lnetgert's. There was conflict
ing testimony on nearly every point.
The defence claimed that the body
could not have been disposed of in the
way alleged; that the bones were not
human; that the rings were not those
of Mrs. Laetgert; and that the alleged
victim had been seen since the date fixed |
for the crime. Though the scale Of ev-
idence seemed to turn against Luetgert. |
there was still the room for 'reasona-
BILE doubt" that made nearly everyone
who has followed the case hesitate
from pronouncing him guilty.

Clellan in Virginia his master genius
saw the ripeness of the time for the
breaking of human shackles, and he
made formal announcement of his pur-
pose, in September, 1862, to emit a
proclamation of emancipation. Once
this document was promulred. he
was equally loyal and unrelenting in
his purpose to make the freedom of
the slaves positive condition to
restoration of peace and order in the
land. Sternly as his gentle nature
would permit did he rebuke those
would-be peacemakers who urged him
to rescind the glory-laureled paper of
January l, 1868. Fervidly and eloquent
~ he declared that never again should
human slavery exist anywhere within

nimity to a foe he was morally sure
must ultimately be overcome. Until 4

to give compensation to owners for
their slaves and to accord amnesty,
full and complete, to oil who had drawn
sword against the government, and
who had fired at the flag. Unyielding
as he was in his demand that the re-
voting states should return, obedient,
to the fold, and with the loss of their
human chattels, he was, nevertheless,
most gentle in his persuasions and
most generous in his profrers of full
and free forgiveness of oil who had
erred and strayed away. In oil the
land there was no more true friend Of
the south than this man who had COM

%. The character of this remarkable
man stands out in added luster with
the passing of the years, and the con-
sequent obliteration of prejudices that
were born and nourished of partisan
or political bias, and without substan-
tial foundation, in fact. A native of
the south, of humble parentage, he
grew up to manhood with but the rudi-,
ments of an English education, and the
greater portion of the morning and
noontime of his eventful life-day was
spent OH the frontier, where society
was rude and undigested. Yet at %

Governor Clough submitted a brief
but pointed report from Adjutant Gem

Birch Coulee battle. The adjutant
general was authorized to purchase
five or ten acres on the actual spot

which to carry out his mission. He re-

old settlers he located the historic spot,
and by means of condemnation secured
six acres at cost to the state of $500.

general says that in his judgment he
