Thomas Sherman may Noioui'N' be readily confused in war histories with William Tecumseh on account of the similarity of initials. He was a West Pointer and a Mexican veteran, like his distinguished namesake. Early in the civil war he was engaged on the Atlantic coast but later took part in the campaigns in the southwest, the scene of triumphs which made Tecum- seh's fame.

GUARDING THE PRESIDENT.
Additional Precautions For His Safe
~ Being Generally Urged.

~ HeinR 6enrrnhy tseee
As a result OF the recent accident to
the president and his party at PITTS
field. Mass, suggestion has been
made that there be organized special
corps of detectives TO look after all de-
tails relating to the presidents safety
while I'm Washington and while travel
ing about the country. says the 81.
Louis Globe Democrat. This work Is
now part of the duty OF the secret serv-
ice men. but II is proposed to have
number of picked experts to do this
and nothing else.
The matter was preached at the
treasury department, but the officials
there were not prepared to indorse II
entirely. Assistant Secretary Taylor
said that so far as affording general
protection TO the president was con-
cerned this was done very enectuaiiy
| by the secret service men already. He
/ added. however, that he thought II
| would be a wise thing to provide an
| official coachman for the president to
| drive the latter In all the cities that he
might WISH. W TN sum u ihuh ~ Wv
coachman's box" said Mr.. Taylor,
there would be no danger OF the
horses getting beyond control or OF the
driver taking unwarranted risks In
passing car tracks. 1t would also be a
good thing to have one or two men on
hand to see that everything connected
with the train on which the president
was to travel was in proper order
Public men in Washington have CIV
en- some attention to the question of
whether or not as a matter of policy
it is good thing for the president to
travel generally about the country. The
universal opinion has been that all
things considered, the good resulting
from such tours offsets the risks In
volved.

OF the best drought Resisting wheats
known and can be grown In localities
where the rainfall does not exceed ten
inches annually. For this reason II
should prove especially valuable in the
southwest
Another great advantage of the mac
aroni wheat is its producing quality.
In a number OF instances the macnroni
wheats when grown In the same local
fly with the ordinary bread wheats In
the states of the great plains have CIV
on I'm Seasons OF unusual drought a
Weld two 10 four times as great as that
of ordinary wheats. In one section OF
South Dakota where the ordinary
wheat yielded twelve TO fourteen bush
els to the acre the macarOni wheat pro-
duced from fifty TO sixty bushels. IL Is
a very rank grower and attalns
great height. Professor Carleton de-
clares that II the farmers turn their at
tention to its cultivation the wheat out
put OF the United States will be in
creased more than 500O0.OOO bushels
per annum I'm very few years.
In an interview regarding the intro
duction of this wheat In the western
states Professor Carleton said:
ut Is clear that one of the possibiii-
ties Of expansion In our cereal industry
lies in the direction Of securing new
drought resistant varieties with which
TO extend the cereal production area
farther into the semiarid regions and
to insure crops and larger productions.
I'm my travels through Europe /
found a dozen varieties of red winter
wheat and macaroni wheats that will
be of special benefit to the great plains,
The macaroni wheats will be of value
to the spring wheat growers as well as
the winter wheat growers because they
can be grown In the states from North
Dakota to Texas, inclusive. The idea
Of increasing the area of winter wheats
Is of special value to Iowa and Ne
braska. 1t will enable the farmers
there to grow winter wheats where
heretofore they could successfully grow
only spring varieties.
"The macaroni wheats will bring
profits In two ways. They are for n
special purpose and sold at an ad'
vanced price, and then the yield is so
much greater than ordinary wheats.
The yield on an average would be In
creased from % to 80 per cent, in some
localities more likely 80 per cent. An.
other great advantage these wheats
have is that they are very resistant to
our ordinary wheat rust"
Professor Carleton, having spent sew
eral years In Europe, where these
wheats are extensively grown. and in
vestigated the detailed methods OF
growing such crops, will be able to as
sist the farmers of this country TO sue
cessful experiments. He says the peo-
| pie of the old country have battled
with bad conditions of climate for sc
many years that now they have com
plete system of agriculture OF their
own. They have for centuries beer
trying to grow wheats in that sort OF
climate and now know the best method
Of getting best result7 out of bad con
| ditions.

NOTES ON kRUGER'S BOOK.

Dom Paul Scores Cbnmber qain For
His Policy In Jameson Raid.
Ex-President Kruger's autobiogra.
ply, which will be published simulta-
neously In many countries on Nov Is,
will be a volume containing 100000
words, says London cable dispatch to
the New York Tribune. The Munich
publisher. Lehman, has paid high
price for the book and serial rights ia
all languages. Mr.. Krugers friends as-
sert that whatever is made out of 1t
will not be kept by him, but will be
handed over to the suffering burghers.
The French translation has been ar
ranged. and 'Nighoff has purchased the
rights for Holland, and Fisher Unwin
has acquired the copyright in the Eng.
lish language for Great Britain, Cana
da, the British colonies and the United
States.
The book contains the story of Paul
Kruger's life from childhood to the ne
gotiation of peace. 1t was dictated by
Mr.. Kruger to his private secretary, II.
G. Bredell, and to Peter Grobler, for.
merly undersecretary of state for the
Transvaal. The English translator is
Texeira de Mattos, author of a current
version Of Chateaubriand' memoirs.
The manuscript of the work received
In London brings the narrative down
to the Jameson raid, and the remainder
will include the story of the negotia-
lions with Mr.. Chamberlain, an ac-
count Of the war until Mr.. Kruger's de-
parture from the Transvaal and Incl
dents of his life in Holland. The early
chapters describe his youth, education,
hunting adventures, the shooting of his
first lion and his experiences in chas-
Ing rhinoceroses and tigers. The sue
ceeding chapters contain an account of
various expeditions against Sechid and
other Kaffir chiefs. One of the most
exciting adventures was when he was
alone In a cave underneath the Kaffirs
who were besieged.
The history of the jameson raid ia
accompanied by reflections on what
Mr.. Kruger describes as the irritating
policy Of Secretary Chamberlain in the
negotiations. Mr.. Kruger's astuteness

INDIANS ON RAILROAD WORK
Northwestern Company Believes the
Innovation VIII Prove Successful.

The Northwestern Railroad company
is experimenting with Sioux Indians
as laborers ON the Elkhorn line, north
western Nebraska, and believes the In
novation will prove successful, says
special dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., to
the New York Times.
For several months II has been al
most impossible to get sufficient labor
ers for the road around Long Pine and
Gordon TO do either section work or
shovel coal A gang OF Italians en-
gagged in coal shoveling at Long Pine
became dissatisfied and threatened to
quit unless concessions were made to
them.
In its final extremity the railroad
secured a number of Indians, dis
charged the Italians and put the red
men to work. They have brought their
squaws and papooses to the camp.
Others will be engaged.

There is no possibility of Vermont be-
ing without governor for moment
even though the election of that officer
devolves upon the Legislature. The
Windsor Journal says that the question
has been raised as to whether Governor
Stickney will retain his Office until the
general assembly elects his successor
and it quotes Section 3 of Article "a OF
the amendments to the State constitution
as follows:
"The term of Office of the governor
Acknowledgements, and treasurer OF
the State, respectively, shall commence
when they shall be chosen and qualified
and shall continue for the term of two
years, or until their successor shall be

ment of the session of the legislature al
which by the constitution and laws theil
successors are required to be chosen, anC

trade. A saloon is run for the sole pur-
pose Of selling liquor and must offer in-
duoemeuts to buy to keep in business
against competition. The hotel is run
to sell meals and lodgings to guests
il any Of them want liquor also they can
get il in the house; if they do not want
il they need not have it. The restaurant
comes in the same category because it is
ready to supply liquor with meals to the
man who wants it, aud meals without
liquor TO the man who wants that. In
either case, hotel or restaurant, liquor is
merely an item on the bill-of-fare. As
for the drug store, it requires little
thought TO understand the propriety OF
the family druggist supplying the family
with its medicinal liquors.
