FINDS VAST DIFFERENCES Civil War Veteran Who Served on United States Monitors and Particl- pated in the Sieges of Forts Sumter, Moultrie and Fisher Marvels at the Mechanical Features of the Cap- tured Submersible UC.97. A bent little old man, with snow- white har and beard, and with kindly blue eyes peering out from behind silyer-rimmed spectacles, haltingly put foot on the deck of the captured German submarine UC-97 down at the end of the municipal pier In Chi- cago, “Wal, Iswan!" he ejaculated. “This is considdible diffrint f'm th’ boats o’ my days!” The little old man was John Ras- mussen, 75 years old, the only Chi- cagoan who saw Lincoln on the day he was assassinated, and a veteran of the United States navy monitor service during the Civil war, He has lived and grayed in Chicago since the Civil war, and is a fumiliar figure in the Methodist church block, Randolph and Clark, where his unpretentious boot- making shop is located on the second floor. Wanted to Make Comparison. When John Rasmussen heard that the captured German submarine had come to town, he expressed a desire to see it and compare it with the mon- itors he served on during the Civil war. He closed his little shop, put on his plain black coat and took himselt down to the municipal pier. He was enthusiastically welcomed by Lieuten-| ant Commander E. A. Lockwood and his twenty-four gobs, comprising the crew of the sub, when they learned he was an “ex-gob” of the United States navy of '61 to '64. A sailor from the age of 14, John} Rasmussen had no difficulty accus: toming himself to the roll of the UC-97, which tossed unen at her moorings. However, John’ a legs” were not so strong as they u and he beamed .his gratitude at ¢ husky “gob” who lent him an arin. Interestedly John moved about the intersticed steel deck of the U-boat pointing out variations in its construc: tion as compared with the monitors or which he went through the siege oj Forts Sumter, Moultrie and Fisher dur: | 4 ing the stirring days from ’61 to ‘64. “See theer, now,” said John, indi- cating the surface steering apparatus on the bridge of the U “Th monitors lke the Mahotac, which I was on in '64, didn’t have no sich fancy steerin’ do-dinkusses on. Th’ Mahotac had jist a steerin’wheel an’ a compass an’ nota lot o’ fancy Instryments like an electric power-house.” Surprised at Mechanism. When he was told that the steering apparatus of the submarine was dupll- cated inside the hold, so that if the upper paraphernalia were destroyed by gunfire the craft éould still be con- trolled, John shook his head wonder ingly and wiped his glasses so that he could trace the course of a shifting indicator on one of the instruments. “This is the instrument that is ma- nipulated to sink the boat,” said Lieu- tenant Commander Lockwood, show- ing John the submerged gauge as worked from the outside. “This lever is pulled and then the captain goes down this hatch.” (Pointing.) “Wal, I swan!” again ejaculated John. “About th’ only instryment that'd sink a monitor would be a twelve-pound shell!” To an Interested circle of gobs, Mr. Rasmussen told the story of how he had served in the American navy from 1861 to 1864, and how he had seen Lincoln shortly before the emancipator was assassinated. “The war was over,” sald John. “The Mahotac was in Washington harbor, and President Lincoln came along the docks in a one-horse buggy to look at the fleet. I didn’t know him by sight, but a big negro by my side said: ‘Dere’s old Abe!’ with a pleased grin, and I got a good look at Abraham Lin- coln. That night he was shot in Ford’s theater.” AT 103 IS IN HIS “PRIME” So Asserts Cornelius Mabie of Tap pan, N.Y. Cornelius Mabie of Tappan, N. Y., has: just celebrated his one hundred and third birthday. Mabie told visitors' who called to pay their respects that he was in the prime of life, hale and hearty, despite the fact that he was totally deaf and partially blind. In early life Mabie was a contractor and built box cars for the Erie road. He is still known by many railroad men throughout the country. Review- ing his life to his friends, he said: “Lhad no aches or pains, and I have enjoyed a very happy life. And I am still happy.” Texas Caves Offered for Sale, High rents and scarcity of houses have opened up a new line for real estate agents.

But finally to clinch the title Illinois must be defeated at Columbus next Saturday. PURDUE WINS EASILY Lafayette, Ind., Noy. 17.—Purdua, easily defeated De Pauw 24 to 0.

J., Nov. 17.—Where is “Little Boy Blue” Billy Dansey? His toys are waiting for him to return and in the meantime “Jack,” Billy’s fox terrier, is faith- fully keeping guard over the playthings of the “perfect baby boy” who has been miss- ing from his home for weeks. ' Billy’s grief-stricken mother has gathered all:the toys in Billy’s room and there they’ll remain. They are precious to her, for they were Billy Boy’s. °° CLAIMANT OF WELTERWEIGHT TITLE TO GO ON WITH’ FLICKERTAIL RIVAL An exhibition of wrestling and box- ing will be staged in Bismarck at the Auditorium Thanksgiving eve, No- vember 26, which promises to be one of the best athletic carnivals that has been witnessed in the capital city for some time. Adam Weismiller, who claims the world’s welterweight wrestling cham- pionship, will meet Kid Blackie, an elusive welterweight from Hope. Blackie has been seen in Bismarck be- fore and when he last appeared here he had a large following. The wrestling match will be to a finish, the best two out of three falls. Weismiller has a marvelous physical development and is considered one of the fastest and most scientific wrest- lers in the welterweight class, it is said. BOXING MILL PLANNED The main boxing bout will be a six- | round match between Franklin Rob- erts of this city and Frankie Fisher of Chicago. Roberts is one of the best welterweights in ‘the state and is going into training for this match. Fisher has a good reputation in the Windy City, and Roberts will have to extend himself to keep up his repu- tation. \ There will be other ‘preliminaries if present plans materialize, and in all probability O. W. Roberts, auto king, birdman and fistic enthusiast, will be the third man in the ring for all bouts. Weismiller challenges any 145- pound man and will give every oppo- nent $1 a minute for every minute they remain in the ring with him after twenty minutes of wrestling. So far there have been no takers of Weis- miller’s offer excepting Kid Blackie, the Hope wildcat. the distasteful surroundings as soon as possible, But they had to stay un- til Mr. Davis described the manner in which each was killed in an automo- ile accident. The visitors were serving an odd sentence imposed upon them by Judge Stelk in the automobile court for speeding. They were A. H. Mangold and James J. O'Donnell, 1924 South Springfield avenue; 4. W. Cornell, Western Springs; Joseph Bitel, 2100 South Halsted street, and Louis Koal- vas, 5754 West Chicago avenue, “Never again,” remarked one ef the ing his car at the rate of 35 miles an hour. “It's curing them,” thé deputy cor- oner reported to the court. “I hope it does,” said Judge Stelk. “Every motorist who ought to get that in addition to his fine. You can’t ar- gue with some people unless they are shown the physical results of their offenses.” TO SECRETARIES Secretary George N. Keniston of the Bismarck Commercial club will leave the latter part of the week for the Twin Cities, where he will attend con- yentions of the Northwestern Secre- taries’ association and of the Lakes- to-Tidewater association, whose annual meetings begin the fore part of next week.
