General Grant.

The sudden and unexpected death
of General Frederick Deat Grant was
a profound shock TO all both inside
and outside the army. General Grant
was much more than the son of his
father" He had opinions Of his
own, many OF them advanced, and
served in exalted positions both mill
tafy and civil. His resemblance to
his illustrious father was marked,
not only in pefs )nal appearance, but
In character. While he never had
the opportunity to participate in
much fighting, he showed himself a
commander Of ability and held one
of the most important posts in the
army.
General Grant was born In 1850
and graduated from West Point in
1871. For eight years he served as
to General Sheridan;
was an engineer on the Union Pa
ciflc and Colorado Central railways;
was stationed for a time on tho
frontier; resigned and became min
lister to Austria; police commissioner
of New York for four years, serving
with Theodore Roosevelt; became
trigadler general in the Spanish
American war; commanded In Porto
Rico. Cuba and the Philippine Is
lands and was successfully in charge

In summing up those who deserve
most praise for their efforts, during
the three days of warfare between
The citizens Of Cairo and tho Ohin
and Mississippi rivers, were some of
the superintendent of the various
railroads.
Supt. Maloney of the Big Four
displayed his courage when the first
break occurred in the Big Four
leyee. At the time he was on a
switch engine coming under the
bridge with carloads of sacks, seeing
the emhankms mt giving way, he or
dered the engine with the cars
ahead at full speed for the break
which was becoming larger and
larger. number of laborers who
were on the cars at the time became
frightened at the roar Of the waters
and jumped off Mr. Maloney sig
nailed the train ahead until within
20 feet of the break, then he, with
the assistance OF the engineer, had
thrown nearly half a car of sacks
Into the gap before other assistance
could arrive. probably saving many
lives of that district, from the on
rush of waters without warning.
Supt Porterfield OF the Illinois
Central worked day and night, at
the most dangerous kinds Of work,
protecting the interests of his COM
pany.
On the night of the crisis Of the
situation, his roads, though through
2 feet Of water on their tracks be-
tween here and Mounds, were still
operating their trains. In an en-
deaYor to get one train through to
Mounds, Mr.. Porterfield, wearing
hip boots, walked ahead of the en-
CINE with a stick feeling the water
covered tracks for any flaw that
might have occurred.
Mr.. j e. Luby, agent of the |. NJ

workers. Before their line was cut
off, Mr.. Luby ordered 200 of the
companies construction laborers to
Cairo. These men filled az many as
IL cars OF sandbags day, on their
line for use In Cairo. These men
were boarded by the company, and
were no expense whatever to the
city.
Mr.. Moore. superintendent OF the
Mobile and Ohio, also deserves much
credit for his loyal work and good
management In operating their
trains the length OF time they did.

Find CT Turquolses In Arab Firearm
Raised interesting Question az
to Their Ownership.

In the narrow and rusty depths Of
an old Arab gun which had stood for
years in tha ship OF M. Zucconi, an
art dealer of 16 Rue Victor Masse,
Paris, France, huddled 241 brilliant
turquoises which came TO light In a
curious manner.
An amateur came into the shop
searching for some sort OF decora-
ton for his room, After looking over
weapons of all styles, conditions and
ages. he selected the Arab gun, which
was standing In corner, its long un-
used barrel plugged with cork. The
purchase was made and the amateur
collector was just about to leave the
shop when his curiosity to see what
was inside the gun got tho better of

stones poured out, bouncing this way
and that into the dust-illled corners Of
the shop When the men recovered.
from their surprise they were both on
their knees scrambling for the gems.
Immediately a dispute arose as to
their ownership, and this was con-
tinued for more than half an hour as
the two men, both of a naturally dig

dust and cobwebs hunting the Jewels.
They're mine!" cried the shop
keeper. For years this gun has be.

are mine"
"But / have hyght the gun and

hind a stack of other firearms of past
ages. Il have bought the gun, and
what the gun contains Is mine"
After time the search for the tur-
quotses was finished, but not so the
argument. which was rising In tenn

men agreed to turn the Jewels over to
the police and let the commissary de-
eide to whom they belonged.
