FAVOR JUDGE TRIMBLE
For State Commander of the Grand
Army Before Coming En-
campment.

Judge II. NJ. Trimble, of Princeton,
who this week is exchanging places
in court with Judge w. ii. Gest, will
likely be the next commander of the
Illinois department of the Grand
Army of the Republic, the state con
gention of which is to occur in Rock
Island in May. However, it must not
he understood that the judge is an
aspirant for the office. He is not do
ing any wire-pulling, nor does he in
tend to, he feels he has lived long
enough among the old soldiers for
to and capable of filling the Office.
Judge Trimble has concented to
his name being presented before the
state encampment only on one con-
dition-and that is that there be no
spirited contest. His friends over
the state in the ranks of the Grand
Army are quietly at work with a
view to making him the unanimous
choice of the convention for COM
mander. 1t certainly would be an adj
mirable selection. Judge Trimble is
one of the leading lawyers of the
state. and until his election to the
bench i'm 1897 was in partnership in
law with Gen. T. j. Henderson, for
mer member of congress. While not
associated in business. they still have
offices together in Princeton, each
also having son in the Office.

WILL BE BIG WEEK
Over Five Hundred Woodmen
Clerks to be Here in
February.
PLANS FOR THEIR ACCOMMODATION
Illinois Theatre Win Probably be Sc
cured for the Meet
ing.

From the reports that are being
received at the Woodmen head office
il is believed that the original esti-
mate of between 200 and 800 camp
clerks who will attend the meeting of
the camp clerks of the order here
next month is far too low. There is
good reason for believing that the
number will run above 500.
About 100 clerks who intend com
ing have been heard from and field
workers in this and the other north
central states report that the attend
ance will be general.
Owing to the lack of positive assur-
ance in regard to- the number that
will attend it is impossible to arrange
rates on the railroads, but as it is
the intention TO have the camps bear
the expenses of the delegates this
may not have much effect upon the
size of the meeting.
VIII Probably Engage Theatre.
An increase of the estimate of tn
number of delegates renders ii nee
essary for the officers who are ar
ranging for the meeting TO make
larger plans for the accommodation
of the visitors. In the first place the
meeting place will probably have to
be changed from the head office,
where il has been the intention to
hold il. to some larger place, and
there is some. talk of securing the
new Illinois theatre for the week.
Then there is the proposition of
hotel accommodations. The visit will
re certain to greatly exceed in num-
bers those who can be accommodated
at the local hotels and pTivaIe board
and lodging must be found for many.
To this end the request is made that
those who will he in position to
provide accommodation for one or
more of the visitors during tn" week
beginning Feb. 10 send their names
and addresses with rates and the
number they can take care of to
lead Clerk Halves ar once.

MODEL ICE HOUSE IN COURT

A novel bit of evidence was introduced

morning In the case OF John R. Williamson
against the Cudahy Packing company. In
this case the plaintiff seeks to recover the
sum Of $4,000 for personal injuries re-
ceived while he was employed as a car
penter upon an ice house of the company.
The description Of the Ice house shows It to
be a building OF peculiar construction, hav-
ing what is called a false floor or a false
roof. The defendant, for the purpose OF
showing the jury the exact condition az
the house, has had prepared a model Of the
building in pine, showing that part In
which the plaintiff is alleged to have been
injured. The model is about three feet

CHAPTER vr.-coNcLusIoN.

In view Of the closely succeeding events
in American history. the declaration OF
republican principles by L~afreniere consti-
tute a most interesting and remarkable
document. This declaration was issued at
New Orleans, October 20, 1888. It is the
preamble to the statement Of grievances
made by Lafreniere, an attorney general
and senior member OF the superior coun-
ell Of the colony OF Louisiana at a session
OF the council on the date above given.
Following is the text OF the declaration:
Without population there can be no
commerce, and without no popu-
lation. In proportion to the extent of both
is the ~solidity Of thrones. Both are fed by
liberty and competition, which are the
nursing mothers OF the state, Of which the
spirit Of monopoly is the tyrant and step
mother. Without liberty there are but few
virtues. Despotism breeds pusillanimity
and deepens the abyss of vices. Man is
considered as SHINING before God only be-
cause he retains his free will. Where is
the liberty Of our planters, Of our mer-
chants. OF all our inhabitants? Protection
and benevolenee have given way to des-
potism. A single authority seeks to alb
sorb and annihilate everything. Without
running the rick Of being taxed with guilt,
no man OF any class can longer do any
thing but tremble, bow his neck to the
yoke and kiss the ground. The superior
council, bulwark of the tranquility of
yirtuous citizens, has supported itself only
by the combined force Of the probity and
disinterestedness OF its members and of
the confidence Of the people in that
tribunal. Without taking possession Of the
colony, without registering as was neees-
sary. In the superior council his titles and
patents according to the laws. forms and
customs Of the colony. and without pre-
