GENERAL GRANTS SUPREME
OURACE.

General Grants courage was SUI
preme. No man could face danger
with greater composure. He did not
seem to know the meaning Of peril
when duty called him to risk his life.
At one time l saw the general escape
death by a very slight margin. We
we're breaking camp at Spottsylvania
Court House, and under The fire OF a
Confederate battery. All of the head
quarters equippage had been removed
except a camp stool, and on 1t the
general was sitting, while the shells
of the enemy's guns shrieked over our
heads. A shell passed just over the
general, not missing him, apparently,
more than a few inches, and struck
the ground about thirty feet away.
without showing the slightest ner-
vousness, he called to me to "Get the
SHE'LL" saying: Lets see what kind
of ammunition that battery is using"
/ went and picked up the shell, (which
was a six-pound, spherical case. and
the general examined IT as cody as IL
there was not an enemy's gun within
a hundred miles Of him.-From per
sonal Recollections ofGeneral Grants

ional Magazine.

College Work Fits Men For


In the first place. let US say that
American college life and work as
now carried on, are of themselves a
better training LOT journalism in the
technical sense than they are for any
other calling, except teaching. This
is in part because the work of Journal
ism is at many points 50 closely re
lated TO the work Of education; and
also because the best college work
nowadays is in such close sympathy
and touch with the best social ethical
and economic progress of the COM
munity at large, such progr esq being
the material with which journalism
most concerns itself.
Another reason is that the skilful
and correct use Of language, whether
to state fact or convey an idea, is OF
the very essence of good journalism;
and our college work more and more
recognizes the Importance of training
all students in the art of direct and
lucid expression.
In college, one ought to acquire the
habit Of seeking the truth and liking
it for its own sake, 10 disinterested
way. Ones logical faculties ought to
get good training, in order that falla.
cious reasoning may be easily analyz-
ed and disposed Of. Scientific study
should have as its great object the
training of the powers Of exact obser-
yation and accurate analysis. - From

TO BUY A PAINTING
List Opened for Voluntary subscrip.
tions to Secure Picture
at Exhibit.
Picture Will Be Placed in Perma-
nent Collection Special At
trations Monday.

IT has been decided to open volun--
teer subscription list for the purchase o.
a picture from the annual Fine Arts ex-
hibition for the permanent collection. :Ihe
pictures selected among which choice
will be made are 1.-The Boy with the Ar
row. by Douglas Volk; "still Life" Will
lam A. Chase; Plaza Centrale,' Childe
Hassam 1.-THE Oak, John Gordon Sax
ton Subscriptions can be sent to the Of
flcers and the members Of the Minneapolis
Society of Fine Arts or left at the exhib1-
ton gallery with the attendant.
Any one Of these canvases would be an
important addition to the collection in the
permanent gallery. All of the artists are
men of high rank whose interest In the
Minneapolis exhibitions entities them TO
the gratitude Of local art lovers, who
esteem highly the privilege Of seeing each
year fine collection of the best recent
work in painting by Americans. ~
The choice of a picture Will depend upon
the amount Of money secured, as there Is
considerable difference In the price. All
Minneapolitans especially interested in art
feel that the city should own good ex-
amples of the work Of Volk, Chase and
Hassam at least. -. -.
+ The exhibition will be open week nights
until 10 O'Clock, and on Sundays in the
afternoon. It is rather curious that in the
few hours of Sunday opening the attend
ance Is double the average for. week days,
when the exhibition is open all day and
evening. This would indicate that the ex-
hibttion is. more appreciated by busy
working people than by the leisure class.
The exhibition will continue one more
week, closing Sunday, Oct. IT,. The at
tendance has been growing but still falls
far short of what its merit and the large
number Of people who should appreciate
1t would warrant its projectors in expect
ing. When it appears quite certain that
the receipts, will not pay more than halt
Of the expense it is felt to- be rather dis
couraging. &>''

ENOUGH FOR 81 DAYS
Average Rainfall for This Month
Has Already Been Ex-

Despite q Cold Summer the Weather
Man Cant Promise a Mild

More than; 2.43 inches, which is, the
average rainfall for the entire month of
October, fell in Minneapolis In the twelve
hours between midnight yesterday and
noon to-day. Most Of the rain drops came
down between / and O'Clock this morn
ing. such precipitation, in any other sea-
son, would have been called remarkable.
But uncommon weather has been nor
NAL In Minnesota since last May. It is no
longer surprising that three days should
bring a months supply Of rain. July,
August September. and October have al
ready been wetter than they really ought
to be; June, July, August and September.
have been much colder.
Continued cold during four consecutive
months creates naturally some expectation
OF a mild winter. The accumulated de
icft' of heat was ~ degrees at the end
Of July, 215 degrees at the end Of August,
and 344 degrees at the close Of septem-

ature, like "all other natural phenomena,
tends to preserve balance, to maintain

corresponds to a like excess of heat. But
we are quite unable to answer two vital
quest1ons-what Is the exact average total
of heat for one year? and when was that
average last regained, so that the record
had to start afresh? Our statistics cover
few years only, not enough to establish
reliable average. We don't known
when the real average was last made
good. - Therefore, we can't tell whether

the future. Moreover, if the excess Of

for the. six months ending Sept. 80 closed
fifty-six cases Of bankruptcy against
fifty cases in the half-year preceding.
Two Of the fifty-six cases were those of

7s9, including $62,s9s Of exempt assets.
The liabilities were s1,49e,o20; the divi-
dends s5s,946. In the two involuntary
cases the assets were $4,000; the liab1li-
ties. s31,S67, and the dividends, $3,109.
BY far the greater part Of the values
involved in these fifty-six cases were
those of the T.. Adams company. The
big grain concern had liabilities Of s1,185,-
900; its assets were $s05O9, and it was
able to pay creditors s46,37 or something
less than per cent. 80. -,

CAN SEARCH TRUNK
Game Wardens Will Not Be Permit
ted to Inspect Baggage With
out Search Warrants.
500 Road Takes q Radical Step.
i Save the Passengers From
Needless Annoyance.

The 500. railway has taken action to
protect its passengers from the embar-
assment and Inconvenience Of having
their baggage searched by game wardens
who think they have discovered contra
band game. The stand taken by the road
out by General Passenger Agent W. aR
Galloway to Minnesota conductors, bag
gagemen and trainmen: szS .as e.
TO Conductors, Train Baggagemen and Agents
in Minnesota: Under the present game laws Of
the state OF Minnesota, game .wardens or their
deputies are permitted to make seizures without
| the Formally Of a search warrant, but they are
not permitted to search any building, car or
closed package without first presenting search
warrant Issued by the proper officer. In view
of this, YOU are instructed prohibit the war
dens their deputies having access for the
purpose Of selling OF examining baggage trans
ported or In the possession OF this company.
Yours truly. W. r. Galloway, general passenger
agent. .':.'.,' +. - }Efs-$ Pr -, -
The effect Of: this order will be apparent
at once AS stated in the letter, game
wardens can legally seize game without a
warrant but they cannot, search a build
fling, car or closed package, without a
search warrant. While the 500 evidently
does not. wish to throw obstacles in the
way Of the game Wardens, 1T apparently
does intend to see, that. its patrons have
the full benefit of the law. It does not in
tend to have the baggage Of passengers
searched upon the chance that such bag
gage may contain cortraband game. =:
|. Hereafter game wardens cannot seize
game in transportation Oh the 500, unless
they have absolute proof OF the presence
Of such game. They will not be allowed
to enter a baggage room In a station, nor
a baggage car. They will not be allowed
to oper trunks; or other packages, which
they suspect to contain game. In fact
| practically the only game which they will
! ba able to seize will be that which is car
| ried openly and then. only when the
amount carried by each person is in ex-
cess of the amount allowed by law :.
| The effect Of the Soo's norder will be
far reaching: While IT; may make it more
difficult to locate and seize contraband
game, 1t will be boon to the hunter who
Is trying to comply with the spirit Of the
law, but who finds that "'the letter kill.
| eth If a party Of half a. dozen hunters
are in the field, 1t will be possible for one
| or two Of them to carry home the maxi.
mum of game allowed to the six, without
the necessity Of making embarrassing, ex
plantations, Or the risk of having the
whole lot seized It Will be possible FOL
a hunter to ship game home to his fam
| lily or friends, without the necessity o.
accompanying the package himself.
It is probable that. the. 500 has no
taken this step without full legal advice
and in this case 1t is likely that othe,
roads will follow suit. The step simpl!
means that the road will protect persons
!: who buy transportation from needless an
noyance by game wardens. -

Deafness cannot Be Cured

BY local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by aconstitu-
+ional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachean Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be DESTROYED forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition OF
mucous surfaces. ~
