Col. Victor vifquain's Farewell.

When the 9th iii was mustered ont
Col. Victor Vifquain issued the following
farewell to his men,
ADDRESS TO TIE 9th ILLINOIS yoLUN.
TIERS.
Farewell, men of the 9th Ill. Peace
has broken the ties that for three long
years have united us together. The mo-
ment to separate has arrived. Our task is
done: the honor of our country is vindi
Gated. Our glorious Union has been pre-
served intact and the struggle is ended.
'Of all that is dear to our hearts, a sol
dier's friendship, contracted in continual
campaigns, and maintained in the fearful
uproar of battle, and i'm solemn quiet by
the bivouac fire, is the dearest and most
devoted of friendships. 1t is so, for God
has made 1t so as Il compensation for the
many trials that you have endured. 1t is
sO because a soldiers is u noble heart
Ii Is useless for me to enumerate the deed.
that you have done; every one of you has
them engraven in your heart and men more
able than / have eulogized your bravery
and your devotion.
'My last words to you are most affect
ing to my heart TO think that l never
more will see you in line of battle, with
the Stars and Stripes waving their glorious
folds over you. To think, that the 9th
will never more be together on the march
in camp or in battle! TO think that |
will never more have right to say Fall in
9uh!' 10 think that l will never more
have the honor to lead you in battle, is fol
me very sad.
Still, l am happy to return you to your
homes-happy TO think that your wives
and children, your parents and your
friends will soon press you to their hearts
and hear from your own lips the terrible
history of the rebellion.
II am grieved to part from you, and
still l am happy to return to your Prairie
State. 400 of the 900 braves who left their
homes, and all that was dear to them, to
fight the battles Of their country. Only

FAKE HEALTH MAN
UP AGAINST IT

Keen work by Detective Arthur Nc
Dufie landed John Kaa, Hawaiian
youth of twenty-one or twenty-five
years. in the police station charged with
highway robbery, although the charge
is likely to be changed to that of bur-
glary in the first degree.
Young Kaa finding that money max
ing by the ordinary process was too
slow and uninteresting hit upon the
happy idea of impersonating a health
Inspector and robbing the houses he
gained entrance to in this capacity. He
procured badge inscribed Hawaiian
Inspector" and sailed forth. His meth
cd was to enter a house and begin to
take measurements with his tape. Then
he would send the owner to take meas
urements of the outside or do some
other GRAND. Meanwhile the inspector"
made rapid inspection of the house
holders valuables.
Chinese and Japanese compose the
bulk of his many victims and there are
already about forty complaints lodged
against him. Today nine Chinese iden-
tilted him as the man who had victim
lied them. Complaints have been COM
ing in for about six months. About
$500 in money were stolen besides nu-
merous watches Kaa confessed the
whole thing and took McDuffie around
to the places where he had disposed of
the watches. These were Chinese and
Japanese jewelry shops. At one place
he sold six, at two places five each and
at another place one. Eight new
watches were stolen from one Yosheda
who keeps a store on Punchbowl street
between King and Queen. From a
Chinese shop on Waikiki road $I275
was taken. The last haul was $Ioo and
a gold watch from Chinese at Moana-
lua.
The detective found Kaa in his room
asleep yesterday afternoon. In the room
was his badge, tape measure and two
memorandum books. One of these was
filled with measurements and notes, part
of his health inspector bluff and the
other contained a record of his thefts
since May I. When asked why he kept
this account Kaa replied, 4 wanted to
see how much made this month" Kaa
said he worked alone. His brother was
arrested on suspicion but released as no
connection between him and the offenses
could be shown. According to the police
Kaa has been in the reformatory

German Samoan grouble.

The Samoan Faipule recently sent a
letter from Mulinuu to Governor Lolf
of German Samoa, demanding that a
royal salute be accorded to Mataafa,
the Samoan chief; that all officials have
uniforms; that the Governor produce
quarterly balance sheets, and that all
ordinances be countersigned by Mata-
LoIf gave the Faipule some plain talk
in reply and they apologized to him in
another letter. Mataafa had not had
anything to do with the seditious COM
munication, but expressed sorrow for
the incident. The Governor attributes
the action of the native council to mis-
chief-making whites.

THE WORRIED WOMEN. E.

They say men must work and
women must weep; but alas, in
this too busy world women often
have to work and weep at the
same time. Their holidays are
too few and their work heavy
and monotonous. It makes them
nervous and irritable. The de-
pressed and worried woman loses
her appetite and grows thin and
feeble. Once in a while she has
spells of palpitation and has to
lie up for day or two. If some
disease like influenza or malarial
fever happens to prevail she is
almost certain to have an attack
of it, and that often paves the
way for chronic troubles of the
throat, lungs and other organs;
and there is no saying what the
end may be. Let the tired and
overladen woman rest as much
as possible; and, above all, place
at her command bottle of

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the

subject skepticism is rapidly disappear

utteranceS regarding them. The doubt

such evidence as this. The public state

MIGHTY WRESTLERS TO

anese is "Steam-plow" and he is said
