SHOULD BOOST" MARKET DAY.

The Pioneer has watched with
considerable concern the work being
done by Mayor Pogue and others to
work up a successful market day"
in this city; we are considerably
disappointed at the lack of interest
which has been manifested by the
citizens of Bemidji generally and the
business men particularly.
While the average business man
will donate literally for the holding
of conventions, ETC., the proposition
of assisting financially in establish
ing a trading day in the city has not
been received with the amount of
enthusiasm that we believe the propo-
sition deserves.
We have had occasion to note the
effects of the various conventions
that have been held in our midst,
and while the advertising which the
city receives as result is of untold
value, yet we believe that this same
market day" could be worked into
one of the best trade-producing
events in the business year. 1t takes
but a small donation from each to
pay the cost of carrying on the sales
and trades, and Judging from the
experiences of other towns trading
with local merchants has been trebl-
ed on these days.
More interest should be taken in
the market days." and we believe
that if the merchants of the city will
lend their aid in making them a
success the result will be an eye.

Judge Corson, sustained the lower
court in giving Judgment of $4,000
to Carrie E. Palmer against Conrad
Schurz, saloonkeeper at Ethan, and

TIE
General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
ON the merits OF the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine-manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.

HATcHABlLITY OF EGGS.
Observation Shows That There Is
Great Difference in Eggs.

Each bird has its own individuality.
By that mean that there are certain
birds which lay eggs that are nearly
always hatchable. With one hen we
found that she was a good layer, a
hen that laid fertile eggs, but the eggs
were not hatchable under hens or in
incubators. One popularity of these
eggs was that the chick would develop
only to about the eighteenth day, or
We always found fully formed dead
chick in the shell. We call that a fer
tile egg, but it is an unhatchable egg.
We have also found other hens that
will lay equally as many eggs that
are nearly all hatchable under natural
conditions, but they are not as hatch
able under artificial conditions. There
are few hens, and / am sorry to
state that they are in the minority.
whose eggs are hatchable under al
most any condition. In other words,
these hens in the latter class seem to
have so much vitality and their eggs
are so strongly fertilized that they
will stand abuse in the way of tenn
perature and other conditions that are
present in some methods of incuba-
ton, and yet will hatch chicken that
is fairly thrifty.-W. r. Graham, On
tario.

STORY OF ONE COMPANY.
Brave Soldiers Who Came from Nc
Alllstorvllle Academy.

It was on the evening of the first
day of the Gettysburg fight, After
Gen. Reynolds northern corps, bereft
Of its. commander and suffering
from heavy loss in numbers, had fallen
back to the position afterward victo.
riously maintained by the union
troops, Gen. Heth of the confederate
army was riding with his staff across
part of the field. Suddenly he lift
ed his right hand.
Remove your hats, gentlemen" he
said. Let us salute this dress pa
rade of the dead"
There before them, in almost per-
feet order, where the tall grass had
been trampled as smooth as a thresh-
ing floor and was deeply stained with
blood, lay a long line Of corpses in
the union blue. About almost all of
them the confederate officers saw the
marks of extreme youth. Boys they
were who only year or so before
had left their mothers tutelage, and
before the war began comparatively
few of them apparently had caught
their first glimpses of the stern real
tiles of manhood. 1t was scene over
which a knightly heart might well
have wept.
The portion of the line of the dead
before which Gen. Heth and his
high-spirited officers reined up their
steeds was indeed wonderfully signifi-
cant of the patriotism of the north.
The One Hundred and Fifty-first
Pennsylvania regiment of volunteers
had fought there. 1t had been almost
entirely recruited of young men not
yet out of their teens, and company
d was composed wholly of the schol-
ars and instructors of county acad-
emy, whose doors had at once been
closed when President Lincoln's ap-
peal came from Washington for men
to step forward and defend the gov
ernment All Of the males connected
with the academy enlisted for nine
months of service. They were no
longer new to the fierce heat of bat
tie when that supreme contest began
on that warm July morning; but their
courage had not lessened as their
knowledge of the grim terrors of war
had grown. They had stood in the
focus of the fire; they had received
the impact of the heaviest onslaught,
and the story of how they had done
this was told, as it never could be
told again, in that mute, bloody line
which held "the dress parade of the
dead"
Other regiments that were at Get

the One Hundred and Fffty-first Penn
sylvania, but it had unique distinc-
tion in the average youthfulness of it's
members, and in the fact that a very
large percentage of them were fresh
from their school desks. The number
of those who were teachers when the
war began was more than hundred.

Poorly Fed Hens.

Occasionally flock that is SO small
that it is fed mostly from the table
scraps is really under-fed. We have
seen people boil small potatoes for
their hens and add these daily to
the potato parings and other table
scraps. If salt was added in a small
amount the fowls ate them well, but
such a flock is always underfed. Be
cause the fowls have their crops full
is not proof that they have the sub
stantial things out of which to manu-
facture eggs. There is such a thing
as OVERRIDING a good thing and this is
one of the cases. The potatoes and
such stuff are made up almost wholly
of starchy matter and do not give the
material out of which to make albu-
men, whose base must be nitrogen. 1t
is possible to make hen think she
is being well fed when she Is not.
