He Saved General Sheridan's Life

[The followinjí article from the St. Paul Pioneer-Press is made of unusual interest to many Ann Arbor people froni tlie tact that they knew Mr. Wade well when he was a student in the University, graduating from the literary department in 1873, and the Uw in 1880.- E d.] I. C. Wade, of Jamestown, Dak., the owner of a line stock ranch a few miles out, was one of the youngest soldiers in the service, and once had the eood fortune to suye the life of Geneml Sherldaa. Wade had dismounted on a march and gone down to a ileep spring oft the road to üll his canteeo. Wliile bending over tlie spring he heard soine one cali to hiin. Looking up lie saw an offlcer on horseback wlio was beckoning to liim and telling liini to coiné (hiere. Wade didn't relish being ordered about so pcremptorily, and proceeded to fill lus canteen, when the olllcer, uoticing the delay, called again, saying : "Come here. 1 am General Sheridan, and I ara very sick. J want you to help me right away." Wade didn't wantany more, but started to the General on a run. Sheridan liad by tliis time dismounted mul lain down on the ground. He told the young soldier that he was poisoned, and batte him mount his and ride back for a surgeon as fast as he could, and to hurry Iiis stal!" up who must be close behind liim. Wade mouiited and went flying down the road. He knew where his owo reeimental liead-qiuuters were, and he rode directly to tlie ïurgenn, and lelling him where to goto fiud Sheridan he set out in 8earch of the stall'. He found a number of them and conducted (hem hurriedly to the spot where Sheridan was lying. The surgeon hadjust arrivcd.aud by tliis time Sheridan was unconcious. By the use of restoraüvcs and antidotes he was brought to, and was soon able to mount his horse and ride into camp. It was a narrow escape, however. 1 have forgotten what occasioned the poisoning, but it came about accidentally froni eating something, and was not the result of design on the part of anyone. Henry George has found in President Cleveland sucli a clear and lucid exponent of lita peculiar doctrine that all liinds should be eonhVcated by the government, that he has swung bodily over into the Cleveland rauks. What think the conservHtive business men of the country of this?
