AN EMBLEM FROM HAWAII.
The President Re, elves n RepubIi-
can CampaiA Ribbon.

can Campaih Ribbon.
The President yesterday received from
the Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee of Hawaii the official campaign rib
bon of the Republican party of the Terri
tory, first used last year in the contest
for Territorial Delegate Upon the rib
bon, which is yellow. is the following in
scription in the Hawaiian language: "Ua
Mau Ki Ea-o-Ka Ania-i-Ka- Pono."
The Hawaiians have a poetical love for
flowers. They chiefly use them strung to-
gether in a wreath or lei" One of the
picturesque sights of Honolulu is it's lei
women sitting in line on the sidewalk
stringing and selling lels. Yellow is their
favorite, and, combined with red, was the
royal color. Sometimes they are woven
into the form of hat bands by inserting
yellow or variegated coiored feathers into
the meshes of a fine net. OF late years
ribbons with notices or Inscriptions
printed thereon have also come into
favor
The motto printed on the Republican
ribbon is claimed to belong to Hon. Sam
uel Parker. the Republican candidate for
first Delegate to Congress from the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, by right of descent, and
means The life of the land is estab-
lished by righteousness.''
The expression is the motto on the
Hawaiian coat of arms and coinage, hav-
ing been first adopted by the monarchy
and continued by the Republic and Terri
tory. 1t was first used by Kamehameta
III in 1S43 when the British flag was low
cred, and the Hawaiian flag restored amid
great rejoicing. Kamehameha III nego-
tiated a treaty of annexation OF the Ha-
waiian kingdom to the United States. but
the crown prince declined to sign it and
shortly afterward acceding to the throne
as Kamehameha ", ordered his Prime
Minister to withdraw from further nego-
tiations in that line.

Train Service.

Recently THE REPUBLICAN called
attention in these columns to the strong
possibility of the Omaha road putting
on night train service between Mitch

train now leaves Sioux Falls in the
evening at 10 o'clock and it was suggest
ed that the train be started from this
city three hours earlier in the evening.
The Sioux Falls papers have taken The
matter up and it is being discussed
through the papers of that place. The
service would be of great benefit to
Mitchell and to the towns east of here.
In discussing the matter the Argus
Leader has the following article on the
extension:

time that the Omaha railroad people
would run the night train which now
runs between this city and St. Paul on

Aberden's Carnival and Races.

The city of Aberdeen is keeping up
its former reputation in the line of
furnishing fall attraction, and from all
accounts the carnival bids fair to the
eclipse all former records. The princi-
pal attraction will be the races, $500
being hung up in purses, which will en-
sure the lovers of horse flesh rare
treat, the purses being such that the
best horses in the circuit will be on the
ground. In addition to the races. the
officers have taken further step out of
the ordinary in securing first class side
attractions, among which will be brass
bacd tournament in which five of the
best bands in the northwest will COM
pete, automobile races, high divers,
balloon races, balloon ascensions, para
chute leaps, grand Midway Plaisance,
and military contest by the best com.
panies In the state. Excursion trains
will be run with reduced fairs on all
railroads. The carnival commences
September 17th and closes on the 21st.
1t is ssfe to say that Aberdeen will haYe
the pleasure Of entertaining the largest
crowd they have ever entertained, as
all other efforts in the past will pale in
to insignifcance when compared with
this mammoth attraction.

at Plankinton next Thursday afternoon.
Everett Smith was selected as chair
man and Herbert Field was made secre-

1t was presumed that the populists

the same date of the democrats, but
owing to some reason no call was issued
for convention and none was held.

Had Good Memory.

Pukwana Press: Indians have great
memories. An incident this week sub
stantiates the claim. OF late years it
has been almost impossible to get any
Indian curios, such as moccasins, pipes,
blankets, ETC., and it takes q special ef-
fort to get these things now. But to
illustrate the point at hand: About q
year ago Mrs. Gibson asked equaw if
she would make pair of moccasins for
her. The squaw promised that she
would. This week she redeemed her
promise, and received couple of old
hens in payment for the same. A mum.
ber Of years ago the Indians made many
beautiful things, and traded and sold
them, but it is probable that owing to
the bounteous rations they now receive
from the government, together With
cash payments, has caused them to be.
come indisposed. Indian relics are get.
ting to be relics even among the indians
themselves.

Still Soldier of the Civil War.


Redfeld Press: We have all heard
of the old time democrat who still votes
for Andrew jackson. Well, we can dis
count him here. We have man who is
still captain IN the volunteer army of
Uncle Sam and has been since some
time in 1865. This man is Capt. Lock
wood. Ee has been notified by the
government that he can be discharged
any time he properly identifies him
self. BY some oversight he was never
discharged. He has not thought of it
for thirty years or more and now he
finds that if he is soldier and has been
all these years he is in pretty good con-
dition to make Uncle Sam dig up some
dough for his salary. he was captain
at salary of S52 month. 1t is 36
years since be drew his LAST pay, and if
he has been captain all this time he
will draw the fine little sum of S22, ,264.
He Gays his attorney thinks he is en-
titled to his pay. Well, the govern
ment has no right to make mistakes and
if such mistake gives him the money
we won't kick. But we fear the thing
is like the millions that are in keeping
for the heirs OF some people in the old
country.

Plankinton bank in the hands of the
receiver. A. e. Hitchcock and S. 81.
Bakewell appeared for the receiver of
the bank and j. l.. Bannett for the

standing.
After hearing the arguments of the
attorneys in the matter Judge Smith
granted the vacation of the order which
had been issued to levy upon the funds
of the bank in the hands of the receiver.
The court also instructed the receiver
not to pay out any money Or property
of the bank until further order of the
court. This, we understand, holds the
bank funds until the supreme court has
decided the Mason creditors case,
which is now pending before that body.

HAD A COLD EXPERIENCE.
Former State Treasurer Taylor Bare
ly Escaped Freezing to Death
i'm Alncl.s
i'll Alaska.

A Deadwood special gives the follow
ing account of perilous adventure that
former state treasurer Taylor had at
Nome, Alaska, in which he barely es-
capped being frozsn to death:
George Jones, formerly aresident of
the Black Hills, has written Deadwood
parties about his life and experiences
at Nome, Alaska. He states that he
and w. W. Taylor, the defaulting ex-
treasurer of this state, got lost last
winter in a terrific snowstorm. They
wandered about all day and luckily
found q cabin, where they found shelter.
The letter states that there were more
men frozen to death there last winter
than is generally supposed; that the
press dispatches from that part of the
country do not tell everything. Hehas
seen q good many dead men himself,
and the number of miners and Drospec-
tors with fingers and toes frozen off is
appalling. Mems wages have been cut
down to SIS and Sc per day, and the work
is something that but few men can
stand. The letter states that food is
cheap at Nome, bread having been but
cents loaf all winter. A great many
new strikes have been made this season
in the vicinity of Nome, and the writer
of the letter believes that that portion
of the north will be the richest ever
| found"
