THE STURGEON MUSIC co.
Being Converted Into Stock Company
With S1OO, 900 Authorized CapitaI.

With 100000 Authorized Capital.
The Sturgeon Music company of this
city Is being converted into a stock
stock of one hundred thousand dol
lars. One half of this amount Is now
being offered for sale, the balance to
be held as treasury stock and sold at
the discretion OF the board OF direct
ors, as the business demands more
business as such when forty thousand
dollars are subscribed. About three
fourths of this amount has already
been placed, and 1t is the opinion Of
Messrs. Sturgeon. and Olmstead that
another ten thousand will be sold with
in the next sixty days, when the new
company will complete its organiza-
tion and begin business. The incorpo-
rators are ]. ID. Sturgeon, E. P. Ohm
stead and M. c. Hazen. The company
will be controlled by board of five
directors elected by the stockholders
at the first meeting after the organiza.
ton. The principal place OF business
will be Norfolk, Neb., with agencies
distributed over northern Nebraska
and that part of South Dakota south
Of the Missouri river.
The subscribers thus far are COM
posed of leading representative men
Of northeast Nebraska and Gregory
county, s. D., and when the organiza-
tion Is completed the company will be
one OF the strongest In this part Of the
state. ]. d. Sturgeon, one of the pro-
moters, has been actively engaged In
the musical instrument business in
Norfolk for the past fifteen years and
has become known over a large terri
tory as "the Norfolk piano man" His
reputation has always been beyond re-
proach, and his business dealings fair
and honorable. In January, 1904, e. P.
Olmsted associated himself with Mr..
Sturgeon, forming the Sturgeon Music
company. Since that time the COM
pany has been exceedingly prosperous,
having taken in much larger terri
tory, and they expect their trade to
reach five hundred instruments this
year, which will be about double the
number sold in 1904.
Mr.. Olmsted is a business man who
is conservative in all his dealings, a
good citizen and one who holds the
respect of his fellow townsmen. Mr..
Sturgeon will have direct charge of
the sales department, and Mr.. Ohm
sted will look after the office work
and the buying. 1t is expected to be
a success and dividend maker from
the start.
1t being the desire of Messrs. Stur.
geon & Olmsted to have this stock
as widely as possible over
the territory they cover, they would
be pleased to hear from anyone who
is interested. The stock is divided
into shares Of $1,000 each and sub
scriptions will be taken for any num-
Der of shares.

Mr.. Smoker, see to it that your Un.
Gle Samuel doesn't catch you striking
match on one Of his mail boxes
He'll surely make trouble for you II
he can prove that certain scratch on
the metal of one Of those gray boxes
on the corners was made by your draw
ing the tip Of q lucifer across it
That's about what the mail carrier
told the fellow who is handing you
this advice It WAS given just after
the adviser had stopped, feeling
smoky after coming out Of an office
where they wouldn't let him puff the
stogie he had in his pocket, to scratch
q match on the mail box. he was
rather surprised when the mail carrier,
coming up to unlock the box, said:
Don't do that
"Why not:'' he queried. I've been
doing it for years. 1t doesn't hurt the
box. Other fellows and myself have
scratched matches on the top Of this
mail box for years, and there is only
. little Worn patch on the metal to
show for it.
We'll, go ahead if you want to-,
sighed the mail carrier. But remem-
Der that, if the inspector sees you, up
you so on charge Of defacing govern
ment property. And you know that If
the inspector ever gets you it's you for
scratching matches on the prison bars
for a day or so. By-by."-Detrolt

TENNYSCN'S MOODS.
Eccentric Manner In Which the Hoe'
Received Some Visitors.


It was an eccentric reception tllat
Sir Henry Rosco was given when ne
visited Lord Tennyson. The former
had been unwilling to intrude on the
poet. but consented to accompany a
friend William Summers. who had a
note of introduction from Sir Lewis
Morris They found TennySon at
b,nch. Sir Henry writes of it: Ten
nvsoa at once asked me to sit by him,
while Mr.. Summers was held in con-
versation at the other side Of the room
nv Lady TennySon. The old man be-
ran with the words, Your name has
been before me at every meal, at
which I expressed great astonishma mt,
not thinking that he had ever heard
of me-.
"And thereupon he produced a small
vial containing saccharin, on the out
side of which was an advertisement
containing few lines of some appre-
ciatory remarks respecting sacchar.n
which I had made in q lecture at tie
Royal institute. This. notice Lad
never seen, and on my return home I
wrote to the proprietors requesting
them to stop issuing such notices, as l
could not have my name used for ad-
rertising purposes, and this they did.
In few minutes, without further
conversation, TcunySon rose and said:
Well, must bid you goodby, for l
must now lie down. I am going to-
smoke a cigar and 80 to Sleep Upon
which he walked out o%the room, Civ
ing a distant nod to my disconsolate
friend, VIII Summers, who had come
on purpose to interview the poet, out
with whom he had not exchanged q
single word"

1t may interest you to know that
the great penguin Of the southern cir,
Gle standing with its head as high as
mans waist, matches its eggs in a pc,
culiar manner. These are net laid
upon the ground and brooded on after
the manner Of most birds eggs. The
female lays two large eggs. The first
she hands over to the male bird, the
other she keeps. The egg is held on
the upper surface Of the large fat feet,
and is pushed up under the waistcoat
Of thick feathers. 1t is there held close
to the body, whose warmth gradually
vitallzes the young bird. So tenacious
are the parent birds of this grip that if
you knock one of them over it will fall
on its back with its feet stuck stihy
out, still ciutching the egg to its body.
