A PICTURESQUE CHARACTER.
Andrew Jackson's Favored Body
Servant Passes Away.

THURSDAYS Banner says: One of the
most picturesque and interesting char
acters in the South passed away last
night in the person of old Uncle Alfred
Jackson, the favored body servant of
Old Hickory and the last of the family
servants of the Hermitage under its
first lord
Uncle Alfred died at 9 40 O. clock last
night at the age of &c. He was con-
scious up until very short time be-
fore the end and during the evening
he told the grand old stories of the
Hermitage in its glory over again to
his son, Gus, who is himself 60 years
old.
Uncle Alfred has national reputa-
tion and for many years has been per-
haps the most interesting part of the
Hermitage trip to the thousands that
have made the pilgrimage.
He was born on the Hermitage farm
shortly after Gen. jackson first made
that place his home. and has never left
the place during his whole life-almost
century.
He was the body servant for Gen
jackson for many years and was at the
bedside of old Hickory when he passed
away on June s, 1845.
His loyalty to his famous master was
his most remarkable Characteristic and
when the civil war broke out he and
his wife, Gracey, alone of all the SER
wants stayed with their mistress, Mrs.
Sarah Jackson, never leaving the farm.
Ever since the civil war until old age
enfeeDled him so that he could not get
about, Uncle Alfred was guide and host
at the Hermitage and he has delighted
thousands of visitors with his recitals
of stories of the old days, told in
his quaint plantation style but at the
same time intelligently and with true
eloquence. Even after he was confined
to his cabin room he continued to tell
the old tales to the few visitors he
could see.
The old man lived in a log cabin just
north of the house. Of late years he
has been cared for by the Ladies
Hermitage Association and everything
has been done to make his last days
comfortable.
He requested some four or FIVE years
ago of the Ladies Hermitage Associa
ton that he be buried in the garden
near the tomb of the master whom hi
had served so faithfully, and this wish
will be granted.

Wauneta and proceeded to shoot through
the showcases, counters and ceiling, and
dangerously near the people in the
building. They ordered the prOprietorS
around and threatened to shoot them
several times. They took what they
wanted and told other people to help
themselves. They went to another store,
but the proprietor, hearing something Of
the racket, locked the door. They broke
a panel out Of the door and entered and
took possession They kept the propr1s-
tor, William Bardaum, at bay while
they did much as they wished to-
The bandits then went to Cedarville
where they rode up and down the streets
firing their pistols. They then went to
the Appleby home, three miles south
west OF Wauneta, firing at the farm
houses along the road as they went. The
sheriff, J. W. Taylor, was telegraphe,l

Grinnell Declines Early Dates.

Grinnell, Iowa, Feb 27.--For the first
time, in several years the dual athletic
meet between the University OF Iowa
and Iowa college will not be held this
spring. Manager Sven of the Grirnell
athletic team announced the fact
definitely today, saying thar the decision
had been reached over a week ago. The
decision not to hold the meet this year
viii be sincerely depiored by friends of
both Institutions but has been made
inevitable by the action of The university
athletic management in filing their
schedule without consulting Grinnell so
as to leave only the early late of May
open for the dual meet. Last year
the meet was held on Nav IL, and the
Grinneu athletic management believe
that the letter and spirit of the dual
league has been broken by the action of
the university in arranging las schedule
so as to make anything nut an early
date with Grinnell impossible.
