OF The old SOUTH.
The Late Gen, W. H. Jackson, an
Ante Bellum Visitor to
Minnesota.
Later He Used His Information to
Improve Agricultural Con-
lditions Here.

General w. Fl. Jackson noted CON
federate officer, died last night at his
home near Nashville, Tenn. Before the
civil war he was a frequent visitor in
Minneapolis. which was at that time a
favorite summer resort /. for wealthy
southerners. AS a West Point graduate
and an officer in the regular army
throughout the flfties, he accomplished
one of the early military expeditions
through peninsular Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota and became thoroughly ac-
uuainted with the country. In later years
he made use OF this knowledge.
General Jackson was picturesque
figure, an ideal exponent of the courtly,
affable and aristocratfc spirit of the old
south. His last visit to Minneapolis was
in September, 1900, When he made brief
stop en- route home from the Pacific coast.
On this trip he was accompanied by q
large ia amily party and a retinue of col
Ored servants. &c..
The Belle Meade stock farm, near Nash
VILE, was the apple of General Jackson S
eve. After the war, things had gone to
sma sh industrially and he started to de-
velOp a fine tract, for general farming.
He sold his produce for some years; to
stock farmers, who. turned big profit
fattening cattle. The chance to keep that
profit for himself suggested itself to him
and he announced to his customers: Not
N-N'
less it's on the hoof.'' He lived up to
this declaration strictly and the result
was a. stock farm which was famous
throughout the length and breadth OF the
south. Belle Meade veal mutton and beet
brought premium in the market and the
strains he developed were accepted as
standards by other breeders. Richard
Croker Of New York first became interest
ed in blooded hive stock through General
Jackson, and was for time his partner
in Belle Meade. F.
The general always maintained a
fatherly interest in Minnesota, and his
keen appreciation Of the states re-
sources led him years after the war tc
undertake steps for the Improvement OF
AGRICULTURAL conditions in the northwest
Through the cooperation of Bill hlng
of Minneapolis, Ignatius Donnelly anC
other old time public men, he was able tt
accomplish much in the way of building
IN the live stock interests. The text o.
his work was the motto Of his own sue
cess: Don't sell your produce except or
| the hoof." >..-., 49, -~..q - .... ;.

HE DIDN'T COME BACK
One of Those Financiers Clever in
Small Operations,

A clever swindle was worked upon a
clerk of the De -Raiche Drug company,
Seventh street and Hennepin avenue, yes
terday afternoon. A stranger entered the
store and asked for $50 bill for iling
purposes. The clerk handed him one and
he gave the clerk in exchange a roll of
small bills He then apparently placed
the $40 bill in an envelop and sealed it..
AS he did so the clerk called his atten-
tion to the fact that the roll of small bills
contained only $19. He counted the money
with the clerk and agreed that such was
the case and explained that the man
across the street had made the mistake.
He handed the clerk the envelop in
which 1t was supposed he had placed the
500 bill and said he would go and make
the other fellow rectify the mistake and
then return. ~
When he did not return the clerk tore
open the envelOp and found nothing in it
| but blank paper. He reported the affa ir
to the police, but the swinder has not
! been found.

INTEREST LOW BUT SAFE
Savings Banks VS.. Get-Rich- Quick
Col


Schemes.
1.-The reason why Minneapolis is such
fruitful field for get-rich-Quick schemes
and shady mining investments Is that the
interest paid on savings deposits is so
extremely low says Adam Hannah,
treasurer Of the Savings Bank of Mime
apolis. HE who uses savings bank for
a short time only is entitled to little if
any interest, but he who has a steady de-
posit year in and year out is surely de-
serving of something better than the dead
level of 3 per cent. But so strong is the
feeling in the public mind against a high
er rate that a savings bank offering more
suffers loss of prestige. This is why
we intend reduction from our present
rate In tho near future Well informed
persons know a. good thing when they
see it, but S per cent is much too high
for the general public. When finally we
lower. our rate to per cent, and when
we force the general rate in Minneapolis
| UP to the same figure, as we assuredly
will, we shall then feel that We have done
this community a most substantial
service ....- --..>'i

AN INDIAN SKULL
1t Recalls EARLY Brown Coulty
History

J. H. Pond of this city has skull
of an Indian that is doubly interest

picture of the Elm and James River
valleys when they were merely the
hunting grounds of the Sioux. Italso
recalls chapter of early Brown county |
history.
81 West Of 0Tdway about a mile, and |
north of the Elm rivera short distance
is an eminence which is still called by |
the old timers, University Hill. On
top of this hill may yet be seen an ex-

llaid the basement walls of what was
to be the first of a group Of stately
| buildings to be the home of the great
Methodist University Of the Dakotas.
On neighboring hill, to the sanguin
Ordwayan, just as vividly rose the
lsplendid capitol of the undivided
