A Model Plant Is not complete with
out Electric Power, thus dispensing
with small engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station? One gener-
ator can furnish power to your Pump
Centrifugals, Elevators, Plows, Rail
ways and HOSTS; also furnish light
and power for a radius of from 10 to 20
miles.
Electric power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water. and does away with high-pricec
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available II
costs nothing to generate Electric
Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COM
PANY is now ready to furnish Electric
Plants and Generators of all descrip-
tons at short notice, and also has on
hand a large stock of Wire, Chandel-

All orders will be given prompt at

Killed or died
of wounds.

In the national list the Seventh Wiscon-
| sin stands first and in the state list third
| on the roll of honor. In percentage of
! losses 1t stands fifth on the list, having
| lost 2S1 killed out of l, $50 enrolled. If
the percentage be based upon the number
of men who joined the colors, the percent
| age is the highest of all. There We're 256
conscripts assigned to the Seventh, very
| few of whom reported for duty in the field.
After deducting them the percentage of
killed in battle in the Seventh rises above
that of the banner regiment and stands at
90. 5, or one in every five men.
Slaughter pens were far too common in
| the war where the victims had no chance
to fight back. But the Seventh Wisconsin
was not dominated in that way. 1t lost
men killed in II battles, and i'll 10 of the
II where it suffered great punishment
fought winning fights, at least for the
time being. 1t gained what it was after
when the men were killed, and that counts
for good work in war. L Will illustrate
this story of reginIental heroics by few
examples of personal heroism.
The Seventh was organized in August,
1861. Each of the ten companies adopted
synonym. There were the "Columb ia
County cadets" "Platteville guards,
"Stoughton guards Marquette CounEy
sharpshooters, Lancaster Union
guards, Grand rapids Union guards.
Badger State guards, - North western
tigers, Badger rifles and Lodi
guards 1t was good band to join the
Iron Brigade of the West" With that
splendid phalanx it received it's baptism OF
fire at Second Bull Run, Aug. %, 1862.
In the heat Of the engagement there when
the combatants We're not more than rs
yards apart, the Seventh changed front
under fire in order to march to the relief
of it's companion regiment, the Second
Wisconsin. (There were three Wisconsin
regiments in the Iron brigade-the Second,
Sixth and Seventh.)
All the field officers of the Seventh were
wounded at Second Bull Run, but Lieu
tenant Colonel Hamilton stuck by the col
ors. until the battle was over, then tainted
from loss of blood. At South Mountain,
Md, on Sunday afternoon, Sept. II,

Indiana, led the attack on the gorge in
Turner'S gap. The battle lasted far into
the night, and about 9 O'Clock the Wis
consin and Indiana soldiers had used up
all their cartridges. Word of this in some
way reached the ears of the Confederates,
and they prepared TO attack the Iron bri-
gade and recover the gorge. General Glib
bon ordered the men to hold their ground
at the point Of the bayonet. In the Sew
enth, Captain Calls, who commanded IN
the absence OF the wounded leaders--it
was only II days after the battle at Bull
Run-sent out some men TO gather car
tridges from the dead, and when the boxes
had been redlled ordered the regiment to
lie down and resume fire for close work.
Soon afterward the Confcderates moved up
In the darkness. Captain Calls called the
Seventh into line and led it forward 90
PAGES on bayonet charge. One volley was
fired, and the enemy's line disappeared

IN AN K

Mr.. Chamberlain; "Imet Sir Henry Blake
in London before leaving and he appeared
to be very pleased that he was remaining
longer in the island
Mr.. Astwood: a. am glad of that. | as
sure YOU that the extension of the Governors
term for two years more has pleased the
Island generally"
Mr.. Chamberlain smiled and the remark
seemed to please him.
Mr.. Astwood: ''lhe Governor has I'M
doubtedIy the interest of the Island at heart
and has without doubt accomplished a great
deal for the Island in many ways
MI. Chamberlain: | think there is no
doubt about that. when 1 saw him in Lon
don he was very much interested i'll the
scheme for the direct shipment Of fruit from
the island to England
The conversation then shifted to other
subjects. Mr.. Astwood asked him concern
ing his sisal hemp plantation in the BAHIA
mas.
This, Mr.. Chamberlain said, had not been
the success that he had anticipated, the rea-
son being, he thought, TINT, Notwithstanding
previous information to the contrary, the soIl
of the Bahamas Gays is not very suitable for
sisal. He had been told, lie said, that siSal
would flourish on any dry arid land, but that
seemed to bs something Of a mistake. The
plant. he considered. certainly wanted more
than the thin sandy soil Of these coral islands.
The variety on his plantation, lie said, was
the ordinary Bahamas variety the same as
was grown in Yucatan.
Mr.. Astwood then e%uquired if it were
likely that Mr.. Chamberlain would ever visit
Jamaica?

reply. 81 am aware il is we'll worth visiting.

Chamberlain spoke freely.
Mr.. Astwood spoke Of some of the riddcu-
lous reports circulating about him il the
American papers.
Mr.. Chamberlain smiled broadly and said:

ing the reporters get hold OF, and interview,
nue. again"
He seemed particularly amused when Nj.
Astwood referred to the absurd statement
that his visit to America was for the purpose
of arranging the settlement of the Venezuelan
trouble, with MIR. Olney
When speaking Of the loyalty of the colo
nists Mr.. Astwood said something about
believing that a colonist who went to the
United States felt much more British than a
man direct from England.
