G. A. R. WANTS FRED GRANT.
Wants Congress to Make Him Civil
War Captain.
'orrespondence.1

Especial Correspondence.
Washington, Jan. 19-General Fred
erick Dent Grant is going co be the
youngest officer who served In the civil
war, If the Grand Army of the country
can have it's way.
The veterans of the civil war want
to make General Grant member of
the G. A, r., and in order to do so
they must get congress to make him a
civil war veteran.
1t isn't easy to make veteran of a
man who wasn't a soldier, and in fact
war; but congress can do 1t, and is
asked to take the necessary action.
General Grant would be eligible to he
a member of the G. A. r. If he had a
record showing that he served in the
union army during the war. Now. as
a boy of about 10 years he was on the
battlefelds around Gettysburg with his
father. and on some of the days he
carried messages for his distinguished
father In fact he was wounded in the
leg on that field.
What the G.. A. r. wants congress to
do, then. is to pass bill authorizing
General Grant to be placed on the rolls
of the army as captain, and to issue
to him a commission as captain. as of
date 1868. That would make his rec
ord complete, and he would be eligible
for the G. A. r. membership.
He would be made the youngest civil
war captain, and sometime. a few
centuries hence. would be discovered to
have been a boy hero.
This step has been taken in the case

Minneapolis, Jan. 1S,--From Jay

written Of me. There certainly would
be no Justice in doing So"
Sandwiched in with hundreds Of loose
odd notes on how to buy coats, pants,
vests, shoes and stockings and hats to

extra fraction of per cent of interest,
how to keep from giving money to any
body for anything, how to make a spool
of thread last longer and how to make
himself a millionaire by series of in

turning it over to the heirs, who appear
to have got none of 1T while he lived.
The trifle over $4,000 found in notes,

Inquiries have gone out on two lots IN

it did not interfere with Challoner's

to recognize its value to politicians.
And SO when the ring" sprang its lit

coming.
"a new concrete hospital" said the
ring" and they foresaw a new con-
crete Jail. Possibly they could go still
further. If they could educate the
people up to it they might have more
new concrete city buildings.
However, the new concrete hospital
came first. 1t was one-third finished
when ]. L. Challoner applied for and
secured job as foreman of the mix
Ing gang on the east wing.
Great Scott! The graft in cement
is appalling!" Challoner exclaimed
before he had been on the work twen-

"fll have to see him boys" the .su-

But Challoner could not be "seen.'.
To the contractors the superintend-

they assured him. ''They all do"
