Dickens Resemblance to Tennyson.

Dickens Resemblance to Tennyson.
Some Of the great writer's Of the last
century seem to have resembled each
other in physical appearance as well
as in genius. Mr.. Comyns Carr in his
"Eminent Victorians" states that he
was struck at one Of Dickens readings
by the resemblance Of Tennyson. Att
erward, on seeing pencil drawing
which Millais made Of Dickens after
death, he found the likeness to the
poet still more marked, and on the
sketch being shown to Tennyson be,
too, observed the resemblance. he
gazed at it curiously for some min
utes, then exclaimed: "Why, this Is a
most extraordinary drawing. 1t is ex-
actly like myself" And Lady Dorothy
Nevill in her "Reminiscences" tells OF
a painting purchased by a friend OF
hers as a portrait Of Browning. 1t
was afterward found to be a portrait
of Dickens, made by an artist friend
at Gad's Hill.

James Muirhead will also build an
elevator at. 10000 bushel capacity.
The Canadian Pacific and the Grand

Petition Referred to Pres. Foran.
Perhaps the most important act of
the city commissioners at their regu-
lar session Monday night was regard
"g the petition recently circulated
in this city and laid on the table at
the last meeting of the commission
ers. This petition, circulated by sew
eral of the pastors of the city, prays
the city authorities to enforce the
city ordinances against gambling
dens, brothel houses, and such public
nuisances, and was signed by a large
portion of Mandan's respectable, law
abiding citizens and presented to the
commissioners Monday night, May 20,
and at that time laid over. At the
last session, by vote Of four to one
the petition was referred to Presi
dent John Foran to do with as he
sees fit. Fred Tharpe, a local con.
tracing electrician, was appointed
superintendent of the new city wat
err works, and the commissioners au.
thorized the appointment of a special
consulting engineer to assist City
Engineer Klein in inspecting the wat.
er works when they are turned over
to the city. The city water wagon
was given to David Carey, who has
driven it from time immemorial.
At this meeting Attorney w. H.
Stutsman presented proposition to
the city commissioners to abate the
taxes on certain property in that sec.
ton of the city known as the Syndi.
cate, and the matter was left to City
Attorney Connolly, who will confer
with Mr.. Stutsman and prepare a list
Of the taxes and properties involved.
The matter arose out Of an agree.
ment on the part Of the county com
missioners to adjust the taxes on GER
tain Syndicate property in part con-
sideration for Mr.. Dilloway Of the old
Boston Syndicate, making a deed for
the land, to be used as a fair ground,
which he did. Owing to other litiga.
ton involving the same property, the
matter was deferred until this time,
and the county commissioners last
week decided it to be advisable that
the city authorities consider Ne mat
ter before they finally decided it. The
affair is interesting in that it may in.
volve the titles to several pieces of
property in the Syndicate.

Death OF COL.
MILTON WALKER SIMS
A Brave Soldier, True Citizen and
Christian Gentleman, Full of Years
and Honor, Has Entered
Into Rest.

Col. Milton Walker Sims, born in
West Tennessee, January 10, 1881,
died in Bryan, Texas, October 4, 1912.
At 1905 o'clock Thursday morning,
October 4, 1912, Col Milton Walker
Sims breathed his last at the old fam
lily home in this city. He had been in
feeble health for two or three years,
and much more so since the begin
ming of the present year. With Mrs.
Sims and his daughter, Mrs. ]. Fred
Smith of Dallas, he spent the summer
at Chatauqua, N. Y, and enjoyed it
greatly, though he failed to regain his
fast ebbing strength. They returned
few days ago and he was very feeble
when he reached home, and had not
been able to leave the house since.
Two or three days ago his illness be-
came critical and the members OF the
family residing in other cities were
called to his bedside. There was
no special illness, no great
pain, only the coming to the
end of the way of long, a
useful, a glorious life. Those who
watched beside him saw the faint
taper as it burned shorter and DINNER,
and finally it flickered and went out.
Death came upon him so softly, SO
gently that it was scarcely percepti-
BILE, and like a little child, he fell
asleep in the bosom of his family.
The god of day haa just risen and ii
was his last sunrise on earth. AS the
first bright shafts were filling the
world with flood of golden glory, his
great soul set sill for the haven of
peace, to find anchorage in the Holy
City. the New Jerusalem
Colonel Sims was born in Haywood
county, Tennessee, January 10, 1881,
but was reared in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi. After attending the common
schools of his home state, his educa-
tion was completed at Emma and
Henry College, Virginia, where he
graduated with high honors. He came
to Texas in 1857 and settled at Austin,
where he entered upon his chosen pro-
fession, the practice of law.
When the war between the states
came en-, being Southern born, reared
and educated, the cause of the South
was his personal cause, and with all
the devotion of an earnest soul and a
courageous heart, he responded at
once when the alarm of war was
sounded, and laying aside his law
books, gave up his practice and went
into the field to do duty under the
loved stars and bars.
OF Colonel Sims as a soldier, his
old war comrade, Capt. Charles L.
Martin, says: Tall and straight as
one of the stately pines Of Eastern
Texas, with a strong and well Knit
frame, an elastic step, keen and
piercing blue eye that beamed in
kindliness on all his fellowmen,

In 1862 Brig. Gen. P. 0. Hebert was
assigned to the command of the de-
partment of Texas and the troops in
the state. He was on General Hebert's
staff with the rank of major, and
when that officer was relieved of the
command of the department of Texas
by General Magruder, and was sent
in command Of brigade to Louis
lana, Major Sims accompanied him
and did service there in the field. He
was in many important engagements
in Louisiana and Mississippi and dis
played great military skill as we'll as
heroic courage OF the highest type.
He was captured at Natchez, Miss,
Immediately after the fall of vicks-
burg, and sent to a number of federal
prisons, going at last to st. Louis and
from there to Johnson's Island, in
Lake Erie. From there he was sent
back to Vicksburg, as he thought to
be exchanged, only to find to his dis
may and horror that he had been con-
demned to be hanged He was again
thrown in prison, but before the day
of his execution the battle of Chick.
amauga was fought and the federal
troops at Vicksburg were ordered to
the relief of General Rosecranz. At
the same time, the Confederate pris-
oners there were ordered sent to
Memphis. While on the way to Mem
phis, Major Sims, in the darkness of
night, leaped from the boat into the
surging waters of the Mississippi
river and swan ashore. After days
and weeks of WEAKNESS and great
hardships, he at last rejoined his
command.
After remaining on duty for some
time in Louisiana, Major Sims was
sent to Texas with the rank of colonel,
with orders to increase Col. S. NJ.
Bairds battalion to a regiment to go
to Arizona and New Mexico with a
view of recapturing those territories,
Colonel Baird to command the expedi-
ton. The war, however, ended before
the regiment got under way and the
expedition into New Mexico was not
carried out.
The subject of the war and its asso-
Citations was always sacred to Colonel
Sims, and in late years he often talked
of those stirring times. In his last
illness, and while unconscious, he fire.

comrades, and was often in conversa-
