The lower town churches united for a
Thanksgiving service at the Baptist church.
The services opened with voluntary beau
tifully rendered. After an invocation by the
paste, of the church, Rev. l.. Q. Barnes, Dr.
Conn read the scriptures and offered prayer.
A hymn being sung and the collection being
taken, which it was announced would be do
voted to aiding the poor of the city, another
selection was rendered by the choir IN an
artistic manner, after which Rev. Mr.. Jen-
nings, of the Grace NJ. E. church, spoke,
taking his text from Isaiah 63-7.
l will mention the loving kindness of the
Lord and the praises of the Lord according to
all that the Lord hath bestowed on US.
He said the giving of thanks was as old as
the race, but the, observance of Thanksgiving
day as an annual festival had come down to
Us from the Pilgrims. Among other points
made was the following:
'One OF the greatest eng ines of the present
day, either for good or evil is the public press.
There is very sensible increase in that part of
it which represents the good, and a correspond
ing decadence of that which champ ions the
evil. There is no poison without its antidote,
and the press itself antidotes the press
He thanked God for Anthony Comstock,
and also returned thanks for ''the sentence
and imprisonment of one of the lights and
leaders of unreligion in this country" He
INDUCED in the bad taste of mixing in poll
tics, though only to moderate degree, and
polished off his discourses by repeating
Nearer. my God to Thee" which was the
best portion of his effort.

Los PNos AGENCY, Col, Nov. 26, via Lake

commission this morning Ouray reported
the arrival last night of runner from
Douglas camp with information that owing
to the advance of troops the Uintas have
left the agency and reservation to join
Douglas, prepared to fight, that the White
River Utes decline to return, and Jack sent
word he will not come here until the Uintas
trouble is settled. If this is true the work
of the commission is ended for the present.
Some of the commission doubt the report,
believing it ruse to gain time, or that
Mormons are at the bottom of it.

afternoon by personal assault made by Jas.
B. Mccullough, managing editor of the Globe
Democrat, upon Robt. A. Watts, a gentleman
who has been closely identified with the suit
between the city and st. Louis Gas COM
pany. The attack was made in the private
Office of the proprietors of the Globe Demo-
crat, and Mr.. Watts was pretty roughly
handled, being knocked down and having
one or both of his eyes considerably battered.
The affair grew out of Mr.. Watts testimony
before the lower house of the municipal as
se:nbly now investigating gas matters, in
which he related conversations he had with
third party, and from which he inferred
Mccullough had been specializing in gas
stock.
