founded the Woman's College at Jack
sonville, Ill. When the war broke out
Gov. Yates, of Illinois, sent for Mr..
Jaquess to come to Springfield. The
preacher obeyed the call and became
the companion and adviser of the Gov
ernOr.
He was in the office one day when
calm, blunt man came in and declared
that he thought he could be of use to
the Governor in getting troops. The
Governor looked over the rough man,
but did not see that there was anything
that could be assigned to him just then.
Mr.. Jaquess was sitting near the desk,
and he whispered to the Governor to
ask the man to call again tomorrow.
After he had gone out Jaquess turned
to the Governor and said:
yates, there's something in that
man, believe, and think you'd better
keep track of him."
Il don't see what I've got for him."
was the reply.
well, keep him anyhow, for | feel
there's something in him, and think
l am something of a judge of human
nature"
"What can give him to do"
Put him at that desk in the corner
and let him write letters until you have
something else to give him."
IF you are so certain about his mer
its I'll do it, by George"
This is the worst swearing the worthy
divine ever heard from the war Gov
ernor About two weeks later they met
again.
"Jaquess, thought you were some
thing of Judge of human nature" said
the Governor.
II think l am; what's the matter
now?"
"Why, that man Grant, who you
thought was the one | should keep
available, has been at that desk two
weeks and hasn't yet written letter
I'd sent out"
81 didn't suppose he would be very
valuable as a clerk; | considered him
better as q military drill master. Com
mission him as colonel and set him TO
the Twenty-tirst on the borders of mu-
tiny. Put him in charge of them and
see what's in him."
by George, I'll do It,"
Gov. Yates took the advice and the
world knows the rest. This was the
beginning of Grant. 1t made an i'm

went to the front with the Sixth Cav

of the Governor to work as a recruiting
officer. His eloquence was magical.
He talked over the State, and in a short
time had 5000 men at Camp Butler.
There was enlistment after enlistment
made on the promise from the parson
that he would command the regiment
and go into the fight with it. This led
to the formation of the Seventy-third
Illinois, he being at its head. He start
ed his men on the march almost before
his commission was dry. Col. Jaquess
and his men were in many battles, in
Guiding Chickamauga. They stood in
the slaughter pen, ordered there by
Gen. McCook. Once his horse fell. He
leaned to another. This one was shot
under him. The ball would have taken
off both his hands, but at this particu-
lar moment his hands were not in their
accustomed places. His body seemed
under some strange charm. He took
his regiment to Missionary Ridge. The
regiment was in the lead at the on

Although Barbour Is a recluse, he
came out of his howell when he heard
footsteps. When asked about his rat
tlesnakes he pulled two of them out of
his pockets and said they were as tame
as cats. Barbour became a hermit be-
cause of disappointment in love.

Another Statement Concerning the
Accident on Fifteenth Street.

Friends of the two young men Who
manned the tandem bicycle that col
lided with DR.. Mathews the other even
ing say the published statements con-
corning the incident did them an in
justice.
They say the riders were on the right
hand side of the street were not
"scorching," and that the accident was
as much the doctors fault as theirs
They say he jumped off the street
car before it stopped and stepped right
in front of them; that they did not ride
away, but stopped and apologized and
offered their assistance, but that the
doctor spurned them and walked off
into the Pavilion to attend a meeting
of the Agricultural Society.
They deny that they alone were to
blame for the accident, assuming that
they had a right to ride along the
street.
On the other hand it is said the car
had stopped and that DR.. Mathews was
thrown in front of it by the collision.
The statements of both sides have been
given, and they differ in everything ex-
cept that the collision occurred.

Many beliefs are merely absurd
without being dangerous Hair, for
instance, is composed of almost the
same material as the finger nails, and
it is perfectly dead. Cutting the ends
of it cannot possibly make it grow, al
though it does prevent the hair from
splitting up; nor can the hair become
white in night any more than wig.
When novelists, too, by the way, de-
scribe a persons hair as standing on
end they speak of a phenomenon that
is perfectly impossible. Many of the
lower animals have little muscles at
tached to the hairs by which they can
erect them; but human beings have no
such muscles, nor any other means of
making the hair stand on end except
their hands or a comb and brush

FERTILE LAND.
New Barley Crop Soon to be Sown
Down the River.

The Isleton correspondent of the Rio
Vista News" writes of a recent visit
to the Van Loben Sells ranch in the
Pearson District. He says:
TN the 1,000-acre orchard numerous
varieties of fruit are grown, including
peaches, apricots, pears, cherries and
plums. This seasons yield will be very
large, as the young trees will this year
bear for the first time. The land be-
tween the trees is planted in beans and
potatoes, which give evidence of Weld
ing large crop.
Near the orchard are large fields of
barley, 500 acres Of which will be har-
vested during the coming week by
means of a steam combined harvesting
machine. AS soon as the crop is har-
vested the ground will be prepared for
resolving.
To those unacquainted with the pro-
ductiveness of tule lands this may seem
strange, but it is a fact that two crops
of barley can be raised during one sea-
son. Oscar Knott is manager of Mr..
Van Loben Sells interests and under his
direction the larger orchard and farm
is worked. In the orchard Chinese do
the work, while white men do the
ranch work.

BRUNsWICK's NEWS BUDGET.
Brig Wau Buns Experience at Tu-
mas C4Iba

Brunswick, Ca, June s.---NIaj d. Harris,
well known all over the state as former
manager of the refreshment room at Ho-
tel st. Simons, is Tying dangerously Ill at
his room. in this city. He came to Bruins
wick several years ago from Macon.
Ground is being broken to-day for new
dock and gang way for the steamer Pass
port of Satilla river line. 1t is located at
the foot of Monk street
One of the objects of R. e. Breisneck' S
trip north is to interest more capital in
his marine railway. The present one is
profitable, but not large enough. The new
one contemplated will take out a vessel of
100 tons burden. 1t Is understood that
plans to increase the size were about COM
pleted when the receivership came up and
broke all arrangements. Now that the
case is in better shape the move to inter-
est capital has started again. There are
good indications of success. A railway OF
the size proposed would put Brunswick on
footing with Jacksonville and Savannah.
Capt. Jesse f.. Avis of the American brig
Wau Bun arrived from quarantine last
night, after a trip TO Tunas de Zaza, on
the south side of Cuba. He says this is
a very remote place of about $50 inhab-
ltants, yet the fame of Consul General
Lee is widespread amongst them. They
regard him very much as the greatest liv-
ing man, and this feeling is general among
the Spaniards, as well as Cubans in that
place. Tunas is a terminus OF a short line
railway. The Wau Bun carried a cargo of
coal to the Spanish government for that
railroad. Six soldiers were stationed on
board the brig during the entire time OF
unloading, to prevent arms or ammuni-
ton from being taken ashore. Provisions
were extremely scarce and very high prize
ed. The government issues rations to the
soldiers and pacldcos. American money
Is in great demand. Men. similar to curb
stone brokers, are making a good thing by
exchanging Spanish silver, gold or notes,
for American gold, notes or government
bonds. The usual blackmall levied by
dishonest officers at ports where there is
no American consul IS complained OF by
