CATTLE-With the exception OF Tues
days run, cattle receipts have been COM
raratively light this week. Conditions in
both fat and stock divisions are prac-
tically unchanged from last week. Pack
ers want the killing cattle and are pay
ing fully steady prices for all kinds. In
the stock and feeding division buyers
have been plentiful for the good cattle
and the only drawback has been that
receipts OF really desirable stuff have not
been large enough to meet the demands
Some buyers have held off entirely be-
cause they have been unable to get suf-
ficient good cattle to fill orders A large
percentage of receipts have been com
mon and this stuff is dragging badly and
selling low. Stock and feeding bulls are
Ill good demand at steady prices Mich
cows are selling readily at steady prices

mails are not wanted

MINNEAPOLIS. March 2S.-There was
nothing in sight to stir up wheat thus
morning, and in the almost total absence
of orders, either to buy or sell, the
market fell into extreme dullness. May

FOR tho winter wheat crop is the principal
depressing factor. Light trade and an

wonderful Courage,

That was magnificent feat per-
formed by French regiment when
they were fighting the Austrians. 1t
happened a long time ago. but the Incl
dent was marked by such superlative
valor that it will never be forgotten.
The regiment. under Colonel Walhu-
bert, was sent to take an intrenchment
of the Austrians in the heights of the
Simplon pass. Arriving at the point,
they found the enemy solidly intrench-
ed in what appeared to be an impreg-
nable position. In front Of their re-
doubts and quite separating them from
the French force was deep chasm
through which ran mountain torrent.
How to get across was problem
seemingly impossible to solve. But the
colonel was equal to it. He found a
long. straight tree with trunk almost
foot in thickness. This he ordered
to be cut down. aud the trunk was ac-
tually thrust across the chasm under q
calling fire. The colonel gave the word
to pass Overcome man at time.
The first was shot and pitched down
to death in the chasnl. The second and
third shared his fate, but presently a
few succeeded in the desperate at
tempt. Then the colonel followed.
formed the little party on the other
side and charged. The enemy dunn

His One Brave Deed.

She was hero wo-shiper.
Often she would read history just to
find some new hero to worship.
Otherwise she would read such nov
els as Beautiful Betsy. the Belle Of
the Brassworks: or, The Baronet's
Bride"
OF course this made her feel that she
had married beneath her, for her hus-
band had not grown round shouldered
from wearing heavy medals.
Occasionally She would tell him that
she wished he was hero.
Once the foolish man told her that he
would be hero if he had chance.
You wouid!' she said in tones of
incredulity. Did you ever do any
thing in your life that looked like bra7
cry or that seemed valorous in after
years."
He thought of the day when they
played Mendelssohns Wedding
March and he gave the minister $40
and she became his wife,
But he didn't say anything about it.
For true hero never talks about his
glorious, daring deeds.
So she never knew that her husband
was hero

By singular fortune the Ninth regi-
ment had no further connection with
the civil war than that narrated of
the Star of the West expedition. The
recruits were forwarded to the post on
the Pacific, and Lieutenant Woods was
promoted and assigned to volunteer
commands. Beginning at the battle of
Shiloh. where he was colonel of the
Seventy sixth Ohio. he fought under
war, winning the brevets of major
general in both the volunteer and regu
lar service. AT Bentonville he COM
manded "a division. and possibly
Haynesworth's last shot was aimed at
his line.
But if the Ninth missed glorificaticn
in the civil war that is the only con-
flict of the republic in which it's flag
was absent. Organized to fight the
French in 79S. it had no chance to
prove its mettle, but in. the battles on
the Canadian border In 1914 it's flag
was often bnthed in blood. The Ninth
fought CALAMITY in defense-o of Fort

brigade led by General Scott. was the
only regiment Of the command left to
rally upon after the desperate fighting
which decided the day. According to
che custom Of those times, the Ninth
was credited to the state Of Massa-
chusetts, and congress awarded honcrs
to the Bay State for the prowess dis
played by her SONS at Lundy's Lane.
In the Mexican war the Ninth was
led by a volunteer colonel, hut in this

Commander OF the Star OF the west expedition IN
January, 1851
Colonel Ransom was killed at the
storming of the citadel of Chapultepec
in a crisis similar. to that which cost
the life Of Colonel Liscum at Tien-tsin.
The Ninth was in the division Of Gen
eral Pillow and was selected to follow
on the heels Of the vo!tigeurs who
stormed the wall outside the citadel,
and in case of disaster to the stormers
or delay in their attack the Ninth was
to charge forward in skirmish line to
the crest. fIalf way up the ascent the
stormers met with q check. and the
Ninth rushed forward only to find the
way blocked by troops who would not
or could not press on. While trying to
urge the line forward General Pillow
was wounded and Colonel Ransom
shot dead when he was close up to, the
storming party showing his men the
way to tae crest. The fall of its leader
did not dismay the Ninth. 1t crossed
the wall surrounding the castle and en-
tered into a race for the citadel with
the Eighth infantry. Two lieutenants
of the Eighth who were conspicuous in
this affair afterward. made history as
generals in the Confederate service.
These were James Longstreet and
George e. Pickett. .Longstreet was
shot down while the line was strug-
Cling up the hill. and Pickett took the
| flag under his care. Hurrying forward
to plant the colors on the dome of,the
citadel. Pickett found Major Seymour
of the Ninth ahead of him and the flag
of the conquered Mexicans lowered
from the STAFF. The flag of the Eight.
