HAS BEMIDJI $3.50
i. POPULATION TO-DAY
Unofficial Report Says that the popu-
lation Of this City is Over
the 6O00 Mark.

How big is Bemidji? It is the
one question that is of interest to
citizens in this county that as yet
can not be decided. To place the
figure in round numbets at 5000
some believe is a very conservative
estimate. Some, who have figured
it out Systematically and base their
conclusions on a strictly business
basis, say that Bemidji will not reach
the $500 mark.
AS yet we have no official figure
but an unofficial report has it that
the population Of Bemidji is $3.50.
tbs also said Of Bemidji that it's
enumerators were far above the
average and that there were fewer
families overlooked in Bemidji than
in any other city of like size.
The census editor cannot give the
final results oflthe contest until the
later part Of June when the exact
count will be given.

n the latter part of 1862, when
General Grant was preparing to
- make movement by land to
reach the rear of Vicksburg, in
accordance with the plans he had made
for the capture of that city, he saw
that he did not have a sufficient num-
Der Of men to command success and
that it was imperative that he should
have 5000 or 10000 more. His plans
had been sent to Washington and ap-
proved, but to his request for men the
answer came that he must go ahead
with the force already under his COM.

formed the president that he could not
do 1t, that the attempt would end in
failure and that the expedition would
better be abandoned than attempted

The captain made no reply. He was
absorbed in thinking Of some way to
carry out his object even if he lost
every man in his command. The lieu
tenant told the boy that they wished to
burn the bridge.

The captain turned sharply to the
proposer Of this remarkable plan. A
boy to do what armed troops dare not
try to do!
How the urchin succeeded in win
ming consent to his plan the captain
himself, who tells the story, cannot
give satisfactory account. Combus-
tibles had been brought along, and the
most fiery and compact of these were
concealed about the boys person. A
bundle of pitch pine was also given
him, which in itself would not at

is plenty. The captain took his little
emissary as far as he dared, then set
him down to proceed without attract

MORE YOUNGEST VETERANS"
Recent Discussion Brings Forward
Two Under Sixty.

Recent Discussion Brings Forward
Two Under Sixty.
That highly interesting hero, the
youngest veteran Of the civil war,
continues to bob up serenely now and
then. He seems to be almost lie not
quite as numerous as the last survivor
Of the charge Of the Light brigade
at Balaklava. The surprisingly large
number of men still living who enlist
ed when mere lads helps to uphold the
statement frequently made by indi-
viduals and proved by the records of
the war department that the great
conflict was fought and won by boys
young fellows who enlisted in their
teens. The records show a preponder-
ance Of such early enlistments.
Last March a New York paper print
ed brief obituary Of the youngest
veteran who had just died at the
age of sixty-two. The editor received
flood Of communications from claim
ants to that distinction. One modest
veteran from Brooklyn, signing him
self simply Cavalry" wrote, 81 served
two years and six months and am not
yet sixty-two.'' Then F. Blemly, liv-
ing in another part Of Greater New
York, giving his birth date as Jan. 81,
1849, came forward with this state
ment: IT served under Sheridan and
Custer in the Shenandoah valley until
the close Of the war. and I have a
year vet to hang on to the saddle be-
fore reach sixty-two.'
Youngest Veteran Blemly was check
mated by Charles Carr Of Brooklyn,
formerly Of Company G, Fourth Ohio
cavalry; who said he was born March
l3, 1S49, nearly six weeks later than
Blemly, and Served throughout the
Atlanta campaign under General Sher-
man.
From New Jersey came the claim of
David w. Ryan, only ffty-nine years
old, who served as bugler in Company
b, Second New Jersey cavalry. Young
est Veteran Ryan seemed to have the
pennant, but Michael Donohoa OF Au-
burn, N. Y, assaulted his position and
captured the standard. being still un-
der fifty.nine. Born May "a, 1851,
Donoho Joined D'Eppenvoll's zouaves
and went to the front In 1861. After
ward he served with the One Hundred
and Forty-ninth New York regiment,
being mustered out at Syracuse Aug.
10, 1865. Youngest Veteran Donoho,
according to this record, was only a
ten-year-old when he Joined the zou-
ayes and began to wear the baggy
breaches and the soft sash belt Of that
branch OF the service.
u It is highly probable that II this
friendly controversy had extended to
the vest there would have been sever
.ll youthful veterans somewhere around
the edges Of sixty to lay claim to the
honor.

POULTRY IN HIS BASS DRUM.
Unlucky Drummer Had to Share His
Prize With the Colonel.


Prize With the Colonel.
During the latter years of the war
the armies were frequently obliged to
make rapid marches without their pro-
vision trains and at other times were
obliged to pass through devastated re-
gions, where there was not the slight
est prospect Of obtaining anything in
the way of food. AS a result Of all
this the men were constantly devising
ways and means of obtaining, secret
ing and transporting food about their
persons.
On one of the marches Of the Army
of the Cumberland the soldiers had
orders not to forage, but as their ra-
tons were rather low it took sharp
watching on the part of the officers to
prevent the men from foraging when
ever the chance presented ITSELF On
one occasion the bass drummer Of one
of the regimental bands managed to
secure two turkeys and six chickens,
which he secreted in the interior of
his bass drum. When they reached
camp that evening the band was Or
dered out to play for review that
had been arranged on the spur of the
moment for distinguished officer who
had arrived on a visit. All this hap
pened before the bass drummer had
time to remove his live poultry from
the inside Of his drum, and of course
when he struck it it gave forth no
sound whatever. This exasperated the
colonel, who shouted repeatedly to
drum harder. Finally, in great rage
he came down TO where the latter
stood pounding for dear life and sweat
ing like field hand.
"Why in blank, blank, blank don't
you beat that drum louder?" he shout
ed. .-.sr.~~.. o.. =. ...-.....-,...- .-..
"Colonel,' said the drummer in 3
voice husky with anguish, there's two
turkeys and six chickens inside this
drum, and half Of them are for you.''
"Well, why in biazes didn't you say
SOP the colonel replied. "Fall out at
once and go back to your quarters"
AS matter of course the colonel
subsequently shared in the repast.
