city that his lecture at. Keith's hall Fri
day evening was hot more largely at

interesting one, and many facts relative
to General Grant, not generally known,
were brought out during the course of
the lecture. General Thayer's acquaint

the latter was in command of a limited
force at Pilot Knob, Mo., in the early
part of the rebellion, and the personal
friendship there formed was continued
during the remainder of Grant's life.

the news is
borne out by 'the following from the
Xlandv Pioneer: "Quite a squabble is
on at North Platte over three cars of
wheat received from Oregon. It seems
that they were secured through the
efforts of I. N. JFroman, who expected
Whittier precinct to fall heir to the fri its
of his labors; but Mr. Lutlden and the
county central relief committf e of Lin
coln county have intervened in behalf of
Lincoln county as a whole, and insist
that no precinct shall receive more than
its pro rata share. Froman is at the
seat of war and 19 working every device
at his command to secure the grain, but

at last accounts was ready to accept a
compromise wnereby Whittier precinct
would secure one car. In justice it
would seem 'that Whittier should receive
at least that amount."

Our northern neighbor was eminently
correct in the above paragraph, as later
developments have proven. Last night
