Michigan, then with a population of
only three quarters of million, instead
Of her present two and a half millions,
sent forty-five regiments to the field,
thirty Of infantry, eleven of cavalry, nine
batteries of artillery, one regiment of en-
gneers, one of sharp-shooters, and one
regiment known as the First Michigan
Colored Infantry, or the One Hundred
and Second United States Colored Infan-
try. 1t may be news to many at the
present day that our state had such a
regiment. 1t was raised in Detroit, under
direction of Governor Blair on special au-
thorization Of the war department, by
Henry Barnes who became its colonel.
James A Knight Of Ann Arbor, was ad-
jutant, and the surgeon and chaplain were
from Oberlin, Ohio. ChesterJ Murray of
Marshal, Peter F. Mead, of Ypsilanti,
Jonathan B. futile, Of Apena, Edward
Cahill, of St. Johns Edward S Jewett, of
Niles, Thomas N. Barker of Grand Rap
ids, Calvin s. Montague, of Kalamazoo,
and others from this and other states,
we're company officers. The regiment
was mustered in February IL, 1864,
with eight hundred and ninety-fve men,
and in its twenty months service the en-
rollment was swelled to 1873. Its ser
vice was in Florida and the Carolinas
where it was ten times engaged in action
with the rebel forces, and won common
dation for bravery and spirit under fire
Our state also had representatives in
fourteen other regiments Of coored troops
aggregating with the First seventeen
hundred and forty-six men.
Thos. N. Barker, now deceased, was a
brother Of |. |. Barker, Of this city.

Why You Should Buy a Laurel Range
Doing Things is what Counts.

Young man, your employer does not
hire you because of the remarkable taste
you display in the selection Of your trous-
ers, nor for the ability you have to sing
snatches from the newest operas nor
because you excel as a. bird warbler.
Your taste in neckwear may be absolute
ly faultess and the adjustment thereof
may be all that Beau Brummel or a
Ward McAllister would require, but your
hold upon your job depends upon your
ability to do things, and do them now. A
pleasing address and a wholesome ap-
pearance are great essentials in your eff
forts for success. They are one thing but
not the only thing. Give your personal
appearance your attention first; and at
the proper time and place, then devote
your thought to your work. The young
man who is serious proposition to him
self and who cannot forget himself and
his own personality bars the way to his
success. The young man who can do
the things which make up his employer
business, do them when they ought to be
done, keep his mind clean and his mouth
shut will never need to go job hunting
Are you this sort of a man, my youne

The recent report of the state banking
commissioner makes the statement that
for the first time in the history Of our
state the total deposits in the banks di-
rectly under his supervision, which does
not include national banks, show total
footing Of more than two hundred million
dollars. This is an increase in state bank
deposits of more than thirteen million dol
lars during the past year. 1t is probable
that the status Of affairs in Michigan,
which the bank deposits reveal, had some
thing to do with the fact that the only
representatives from this state at the re
cent tarff-ehanglng conference in Chi
cago, were one or two avowed free-trad-
ers ard two or three past and prospective
democratic candidates.

THE FARMER AND PROSPERITY

How closely American prosperity is
bound up in the success of the farmer is
shown by the marked jump in stocks
which followed the report of the Agricul-
tural Bureau that the corn crop of 1905
would be record breaker.
The report brought the liveliest day in
the stock market since summer set in.
The Granger stocks, as those Of the rail-
roads which haul the great bulk Of farm
produce from the West are called, made
big advances and the entire list rose in
sympathy. Even the steel group, which
had been supposed to have reached the
highest figures, took an advance.
Heavy crops mean that that the far
mers will have well lined pockets. With

The report OF the state treasurer
Glazier for the fiscal year ending June
so, showing an increase in the amounts
paid into the state treasury as fees from
various sources, an increase in the prim-
airy school fund, which is derived from
railroad and other corporation taxes, and
making the statement that our state had
no bonded indebtedness Of any sort, will
be quite acceptable and satisfactory to
Michigan people, There are few states
in the union which can favoraby compare
with Michigan in the condition Of state af-
fairs which the state treasurers report
presents

The announcement Of forthcoming Re-
publican club banquets Indicate the re-
newal for the coming winter Of custom
which is rapidly extending to all sections
Of Michigan and which fully deserves the
encouragement and favor it has thus far
received. The opportunity which these
county gatherings afford to the represen-
tative Republicans Of the several counties
to come together for the consideration Of
party affairs and party principles is valu-
able to the Republicans Of Michigan and
to all the better purposes that party has
sought to advance.

Money in Hogs

Warren Foster, a. South Prairie
farmer, brought to Gilroy & Hether-
toms meat market, dressed hog 10
months old that weighed nearly ESQ
pounds, for which he got cents a
pound. The same day he brought in
some cream, and a few vegetables,
The entire load netted him just four
dollars less than a neighbor got for
a load of flax, and big one at that.
Mr.. Foster fattens his hogs on speltz
and macaroni wheat. He has begun
feeding Mangle Wertsel beets to his
cows and has increased their flow Of
milg one-halk. The beets produced
big. Foster is quite gardener. A
year ago one potato on sod produced
As pounds of potatoes and in turn the
As pounds planted last spring pro-
duced 14R bushels. Four of the
largest weighed 10 pounds. He rails
ed also a lot Of fine celery.

"The Missouri Girl" was played. The
players are exceptionally good, the
play is funny in the extreme and the
crowd was just in the right spirit to
receive it. The play has a peculiar
ending. otherwise the plot was nat
ural one and strongly played. The
Independent feels gratified that we
are getting such good attractions.
Manager Bacon informs us that his
bookings have been very numerous
and very good too. In Minot none
but first class attractions will be toll
