THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving Day was invented for the benefit
OF prodigal sons and the other "Pinafore" rea
tions--it gives them chance to come hmoe and
get asquare meal They, OF course, will give
thanks-and get drunk in the evening. Much as
some people have sneered at giving thanks on
Thanksgiving Day. this great people do give
thanks, but each in his one fashion. Some people
will give thanks in churches and lay up treasures
where moth and rust do not corrupt and where
time locks are not as yet in use. Other people who
have not as yet heard Daviss plea for the De
PENDANT" lay ii to the boom" and will boom
before noon, They go to the big church"
To meet the ideas Of Thanksgiving of all par
ties, varied programme has been prepared for

The festivities begin on Wednesday evening
when the Undme Hose Company give their Sixth
Annual Ball at Turner Hall. As usual big time
will be had and everybody is invited at 90 per

In the afternoon Matte Vickers and company
will give II matinee at the Opera House
In the evening the Ottawa Guards give ball
in the ArmOry.
DEER HUNT.
During the day, too, will take place a deer
chase, which will add not a little TO the fun OF
the day. A deer has been secured by Messrs
Thos. McDermott and viii Ii. Carey which will
be turned loose. The animal is still wild and
will afford fine chase. 1t is expected that Mr.
| Milligan will have "A number Of foxes which will
also be used on this occasion. All owners Of fox
hounds are invited TO join in the sport, who can
learn further particulars by calling on Mr.. Me
Dermott The first three dogs in at the deer
chase will be awarded prizes and we shall pub
fish the owners and dogs names. No fire arms
however, will be allowed on the grounds-tht
chase is to be sportSmans affair and no pot

Work has continued on the criminal docket.
On Saturday was concluded the trial of Ed. Har-
rigan, Cor assault, whG was found not guilty. On
Wednesday John Stevenson pleaded guilty to
selling liquor to minors and was fined $40, also,
$500 for selling without license and $40 for SELL
ing on Sunday to all of which the costs were
addeG.
In the Chapman perjury case a motion was
made on the 18th by defendant to compel the
prosecutor to elect on which count he will put
y him on trial. which was argued on Thursday and
motion overruled yesterday.
On Wednesday began the trial of Justin Doran,
charged with manslaugfter-the killing of ia
cob lIuss. The circumstances of the case ought
to be known to our readers. Doran was employed
to keep teams Off the Illinois river bridge until
the planking of span was completed. Huss
drove up in his wagon, drunk and quarrelsome,
and insisted on going on the bridge. Doran re-
fused to allow him. Thereupon a row occurred
in which lIuss assaulted Doran, who in turn
finally hit him over the head with piece Of pine
nCh. board which fclled him, after which Doran
hit him again on top of the head. He died some
hours after the row. At the coroners inquest
the physician testified that either blow would
have produced death; and the jury found that
Doran was justified in striking the man as a mat
ter Of self-defense. However, as Doran had been
arrested on state warrant he was taken before
Esquire Gees, where he waived examination, and
was bound over to the Circuit Court In the sum
of $4,000 as bail, which was furnished.
The testimony was all in last evening when it
was agreed to submit tn case to the jury with
out argument. The instructions will be read at
$50 this morning, when the case will be given
to the jury.

threatened Exterminations of the
Wild Pigeon. .s -..

sportsmen are waking up to the
fact that the indiscriminate and
wholesale slaughter of pigeons is
rapidly thinning out tho species
Sporting papers are full of com.
plants about the manner in which
METERS and trappers capture and kill
the birds at their nestings in Michi.
gan and elsewhere. 1t is suggested
that a law be passed by all States in
which the pigeon brings forth its
Young, prohibiting the killing or
trapping ofthe birds for three wears.
IL is claimed that this would give tho
HOOKS chance to recuperate to such
an extent that similar laws would not
have to lie passed for years afterward.
Asa substitute for the pigeon during
tho years that pigeon.destroying is
barred, the marsh blackbird is sup.
gested. This bird is very abundant
on the Calumet Kankakee, and Hi

are great corn and grain destroyers,
and that they could easily be spared.

Five Days without Water.

Sixteen surveyors in the employ of
the Government left Trinidad, Colo
RADIO, q few weeks ago, for tour
eastward TO the Indian Territory line.
Major Medary commanded the party,
among whom were S. M. Winchester
and his chum, William johnson, both
Ballimoreans. Stretching south from
the Santa Fe track and east from the |
town of Trinidad are sterile plains.
Water on these plains is very scarce,
Ihere being a few trickling streams
that are far apart and made almost
unfit for use by the strong impregna-
ton of alkali. Tho corps worked
eastward, locating townships OH the
way, until the 9Th inst. Then a
squad Of five men, commanded by
Mr.. Sheets, was sent from point on
Willow creek with orders to run q
transit eighteen miles due north.
The task having been performed the
The five SET out at nightfull for camp
In few hours they realized that they
were lost,wi nothing but thirst and
boundless sterility before them. On
the morning of the 9th consultation
showed that Winchester and John
son wanted to go one way and the
other three another. Sheets, with
two companions, they left the Balti-
more boys with the idea of striking
Cariso spring. After sixty hours of
constant labor, during which they
suffered the torments Of the cursed,
no water passing their lips, the three
arrived at the spring. As soon as
they could communicate with camp
they did so, and men at once set out
to find Winchester aud johnson.
Tho search was conducted with an
excitement bordering on frenzy. On
Monday the 9th inst. about o'clocl;
III the afternoon, poor Winchester
was found lying Oh the open plain,
lie was still alive. A few drops OF
water were given him. lie took

rock was found note from Win

for three days, and on the 10Th inst
Johnson's. body was fonnd. AL

How one Phrase Originated.

The phrase acknowledged the
corn" is variously accounted for, but
the following is q true history of its
origin:
In 1928 Andrew j. Stewart, NJ. C.,
said in a speech that Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana sent their hay-stacks
cornfclds and fodder to New York
and Philadelphia for sale. Wicklifie,
of Kentucky, called him 10 order, de-
claring that those States did not send
their hay-stacks or corn-fclds to New
York for sale.
"Well, what do you sends" asked
Stewart.
"Why, horses, mules, cattle and
hogs"
swell, what makes your horses,
mules, cattle and hogsp You feed o
hundred dollars, worth off hay to a
horse you just animate and get upon
the top of your hay-stack and ride
of to market. How is it with your
cattlep You make one of them carry
fifty dollars, worth of hay and grass
to tho Eastern market; how much
corn does it take at thirty-three cents
a tushel to fatten it?"
"WhY, thirty bushels"
"Then you put that thirty bushels
into thc'shape of hog and make i
walk of to the Eastern market
said: "Mr. Speaker, | acknowledg
the corn"
