sissippt The steamer ran aground and the
general took advantage OF the opportunity
To walk three miles to the home OF the
authors father, ~ A. Collins. The gem
erals first war horse was sent to General
J. r, Smith, friend of General Grant, and
its bones now rest somewhere on the seven
hills" which make up the city OF Galcna.
Grant did not live in Galena very long.
II was a new life for him and as he was
quiet and unobtrusive he did not make
acquaintance fast. lie was so little known
that the merchants refused to run a family
supply account with him. It Is a we'll
known fact that Thomas clifton, a grocer
OF the place, declined to send a barrel Of
flour to his home unless the order was
accompanied with cash. +. \. Collins guar
anteed the bill and the flour was sent.
After this incident, says the author. no
guarantee was necessary.
Grant drove a span Of black ponies and
frequently spent Sunday at the home of
e. A. Collins with his family. lie visited
the Collins store nearly every day and was
almost always smoking. When the war OF
the rebellion broke out politicians were
especially anxious to get commission from
captaiucy up and go to the front. Il. b.
Washburn a republican congressman from
the northern part of the state was par
ticularly active. In this hurry and scramble
the name of Grant was never mentioned.
The author on leaving the store one noon
with his father, E. A. Collins, met Wash
burn. There was a wide difference in
politics between the two men, but 1t did not
prevent the elder Collins from addressing
washburn> nor from calling his attention
to Grant. He said:
"Washburn you and your political friends
in all your activity in calling meetings,
raising troops and appointing officers, evil
IDENTIFY are not aware of a man in your
midst that has been educated by the gov
eminent and served under Zach Taylor in
the Mexican war and that he knows some
thing about practical warfare"
who is this mani" was the question
asked by Washburn,
Ulysses S. Grant, whom you all pass
on the street every day and do not know"
was the reply of Collins
Grant is Discovered.
Washburn promised to look him up and
at the next meeting for the enlistng OF
troops, Grant was called out of the al diencc
and invited to the platform. At the close
of the meeting Grant was appointed to the
position of drill master of newly-recruited
men. This was the beginning of Grants
career in the war of the rebellion and It
was astonishing, says the author, to note
the alacrity with which hundreds of people
suddenly came to know the man whose
illustrious career is interviewer with Amer
lean history.
During the war Grant rendered Collins
numerous positions. although he was politi
cally opposed to the views entertained by
Grant but he would accept none of them
When Grant was elected president he wrote
a personal letter i'm which he said that he
had promised to make Washburn secretary
of war, but that Collins could name the
man for the second office.

Omaha's interest I'm the alleged war" Of
the managers is in a present sense rather

Brandeis was asked about the situation

be to send to this city more OF the strong

sity Of booking attractions for the smaller
towns. and will thus be able to take better
care OF the larger cities. For example, when
Elsie Janis was engaged at the Brandeis,
playing to capacity business at each per-
Torrance, she was cut out of one night in
Omaha that Lincoln might have the attrac-
ton Maude Adams was booked out Of
New York for short stays in Omaha, Kan

Of the smaller towns whose theaters have
now gone into the Shubert combination.
Otis skinner is another Of the stars who
will play but one night I'm Omaha because he
has been putting in time at the theaters
now taken over by the Cort combination
with the Shuberts. In the future these
stars will be permitted to stay longer at
the first class theaters in the larger cities.
The Shuberts are generally understood to
have lease on the Boyd theater, to take
hold when the Burgess & Woodward lease
expires in June, 1911. This will bring Omaha
directly into the conflict. When the pres
ent season opened the Shuberts arranged
to book their attractions at the Burwood,
since named the Gayety. Several fine COM
panies were sent on, during the early part
of the season. but it soon became apparent
that the managers did not have enough at
fractions to keep the house open. and the
contract between the Shuberts and Messrs
Johnson & Biz was Cancelled. This shuts
the Shuberts out of Omaha until they can
secure the Boyd theater.

Says Mayors Cannot Marry.

Attorney General Norwood rendered two opinions yesterday one in which he held that may ors were not authorized by law to perform the rites of matrimo. ny; the other that school direc- tors have no right to expel pupils from school for attending par ties and dances during the school term after being forbidden to do so by their teachers.
 Mir. Norwood holds that the directors have a right to require certain degree of proficiency in the pupils studies, and if the pupil does the school work re- quired of him it is of no concern of the directors or teacher how the student spends his hours while at home, that being a queS- tion for his parents to decide.
