The "silver encampment' of the Grand
Army of the Republic, which is being held
in Detroit, Mich. this week, is the grand
est on record. Fully 40, 600 of the old vet
Grams were in line and the parade has never
been equaled for magnificence by the Or
ganization. The greatest attraction was
the historic bird "Old Abe'' borne On high
by the Wisconsin division. The sight of
the old war bird drew from the multitude
cheer after cheer. The Pioneer Press gives
the following bit of history of the famous
eagle:
In 1861, when the Eighth Wisconsin reg
iment entered the war, tame eagle, cap
tured in the Wisconsin woods, accompanied
the regiment South. Taught to perch upon
staff it was allotted to color bearer, and
in few months the bird became the en-
blem of the regiment. With strange de-
votion that so partOok of the mysterious as
to engender superstition in many minds.
the eagle chung to his regiment with un-
wavering loyalty. Amid the roar of the
cannon and the shrek OF battle, the eagle
of the Eighth Wisconsin maintained his
perch, only at times to soar briefly above
the heads of the brave boys he led Shrek
ing shrill defiance to the enemy, and then
return to his perch. No ball ever entered
"Old Abe" as he was christened. and in
many bloody battles the soldiers of the
Eighth seemed to share the good fortune of
the noble bird. In '65 "Old Abe'' was
mustered out with the Eighth and thence
forth made his home as privileged bird in
the public park at Madison. He survived
the war twelve years and at his death his
funeral was conducted with military hon.
ors. But he was never buried. A skillful
taxidermist perpetuated the form and shape
of the glorious bird and the Eighth regi-
ment still bears "Old Abe" in the front
rank.

A Resident Chaplain.

1t has often been a matter of wonder to me, that
the state of Minnesota has never by an enact
ment of the Legislature provided for a resident
chaplain for this institution. With all due respect
for the present incumbents of that Office the idea
cannot for moment be entertained, nor can it be
expected, that they do full justice to the posi-
ton: both having another congregation; hence
their time must necessarily be fully occupied
Herewith.
Among the duties of such chaplain the fol.
lowing may be mentioned: First. to become
thoroughly acquainted with all the inmates and
their different characteristics. (This is easier
said than done.) Second, to exercise general
supervision of all reading matter Third. to at
tend to the necessary correspondence of those un.
able to read and write. and experimenting their
instruction in the rudiments of education.
Fourth, to visit all frequently as possible, give
a cheering word to the respondent. guiding the
thoughts of others in different channels, etc.
In short, endeavoring in every possible way to
encourage the formation and development of the
moral character. The delivering of a weekly ser.
mon should be merely an incidental to the posi-
ton. The position requires person of ability,
who would take into consideration all things.

From the foregoing it will be seen the
number of prisoners in the county jails is
smaller than any time since 1888. This is
also true of prisoners in the city and

June, 1889, will be noticed in the number
of prisoners serving sentences in various

THE CONTEMPT CASE.
Supreme Court of the Hawaiian
Islands, in Banco-March 3,
1907.
In RE JoHN +. Bush.

1907.
In RE JoHN +. Bush.
OPINION OF THE COURT BY DOLE, J
There were two law points which
we're raised at the last hearing, the
first of which was in regard to the
policy of a trial of this kind. We
feel that it is a matter of discretion
with us and it is for the Court to say
whether it is desirable to take sum
mary proceedings or leave q case of
this kind to take its course by indict-
ment, and it seems to us not a very
practical suggestion that a trial of
this kind is going to affect subse-
quent trial by Indictment, because
there Is no probability that subse-
quent trial will take place. One
would fulfill all the demands of the
necessities of the case, sud so that
seems rather fanciful objection.
The law gives it fully into the power
and discretion of the Court to act in
this matter.
In regard TO the unconstitutional
ity of this kind of a trial, we do not
think that the section in the Consti,
tuition precludes US. Aud, gentlemen,
IT Is not matter which we are per
soually interested in in the least, we
sppear here officially, aud an attack
which affects Us officially is public
matter, which affects the power of
the Court; matter of great import
snce and of sacred character which
we are here to defend in our official
and public capacity. We are not.
therefore, personally interested in
the matter in the sense in which it
has been referred to in any way, and
so we override that point also.
In regard to the merits of the
case, we feel that from the evidence
placed before US by Mr.. Bush, that
he has satisfactorily purged himself
from the contempt which we felt
was committed by the publication of
the article referred to. If this was
trial by Jury he would be entitled
to the benefit of the doubt, and we
are satisfied that he has shown to
the Court that he has not know
ingly published this article.
This being a proceeding by sta
tute, we are confined to the words of
the law which defines this offense as
knowingly publishing malicious in
vectives against q Court or Jury
tending to bring such Court or Jury
or the administration of justice into
ridicule. contempt, discredit or
odium The fact that it has not
been published knowingly, although
it has been published in his paper.
We are satisfied, relieves him from
the charge of contempt of Court.
If it had been a case of libel Mr.
Bush, want of knowledge would not
relieve you, you would be still !
responsible in criminal or civil pro
ceedings. And We think that the |
management of your paper in tire |
way you have carried on is very
dangerous and careless.
You are discharged from the con-
tempt brought against You.

War on Raietea Island.

The brig Tahiti arrived at San
Francisco, February Goth, from Ia
hiti and the Msrquesas, with news of
smother outbreak on the Island of
Raietea, one of the Windward group.
Captain ". h Ferguson stated that
the French are making a most des-
perate effort to assert their authority,
but with little success. Three men of
war-the Champlain, Veire and Vol
age-had been engaged in Smelling
the Raietes villages for a month be-
fore the Tahiti sailed, but with no
further effect than to kill few ma
tyes, destroy their property and
make the others more determined
and vicious than ever.
1t Is the old story of the natives
declining to submit to French Gov
eminent They are willing to admit
the proteetorate and all the privil-
eyes pertaining thereto, with the one
exception of local government. This
the Rsietea natives reserve to them
selves, and their young Queen, the
sister of the King of the group, has
persistently refused to sign the pro-
tectorage papers until the govern
ment clause Is eliminated
The natives of the entire group
are in more than half sympathy with
the Raleteans, and in warning on
them unaided the French sailors and
marines are having as hard 8 time of
it as the Germans did when they m
dertook to follow the Samoans into
the bush.

A HURRICANE

Will not interfere with the regularity o
action of the Aermotor because it is Sc
constructed that it swings with the wind
no matter how hard il blows. This stvle
windmill is an innovation on these Isl.
auds and plantation men are beginning
TO realize the necessity of them; some
day, not far distant we imagine, plan
ta;lon will not be considered complete
without one.
There are many styles of windmills
on the market, some cheap, others high
priced, others again dear at any price
The old-fashioned wooden ones may be
properly classed among the later. Our
opinion is based on the lac that they are
going out OF use on the line OF the Union
Pacific Railway. and, in tact, nearly
every place where windmIils are used
In California. where windmills are as
plentiful as dwelling houses, the ranch
men are taking out their wooden ones,
even though they be in good condition,

with Aermotors We S, cured the sole
agency for the latter Style because we
were convinced oi its superiority over
any other manufactured, and because
We were SatiSie, that it would bring
better results 10 the purchaser. The
1rSt one set no worked successfully, and
the man who bought II told his neighbor
about 1t, so We sold another one. That's
the WAY II has been ever since we intro
duced them; now the demand for the
Aernotor Is SO great that We have decid-
ed tn keep q few OF thedi in stock. Late
purchasers have been Obliged to wait
until We could have their 0-;iers filled in
