Thanksgiving Proclamation.


The following proclamation has been
issued by the president:
PROCLAMATION.
The American people have always
abundant cause to be thankful to Al
mighty God, whose watchful care and
guiding hand hasbeen manifested in every
stage of their national life guarding and
protecting them in time of peril and
safety, leading them in the hour of dark
ness and danger.
1t is fitting and proper that nation
thus favored, should on one day in every
year, for that purpose especially appoint
ed publicly acknowledge the goodness of
God and return thanks to Him for:all His
gracious gifts.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, presi-
dent of the United States of America, do
hereby designate and setapart Thursday,
November 26, as day of public thanks
giving and prayer, and do invoke
the observance of the same by
all the people of the land. On that day
let all secular business be suspended and
let the people assemble in their usual
places of worship, and with prayer and
gratitude to the giver of every good and
us in the year that has passed, for our
preservation as q people of the United
States, and for our deliverance from the
shock and danger of political CONFUSION;
for the blessing of peace and for our
safety and quiet, while wars and rumors
of wars have agitated and afflicted other
nations of the earth; for our security
against the scourge and pestilence
which in other lands has
claimed its dead by thousands
and filled the streets with mourning;
f6r the plenteous crops which reward
the labor of the husbandman and in
crease our nations wealth, and for the
contentment throughout our borders
which follows in the train of prosperity
and abundance.
Let there also be on the day thus set
apart, reunion of families, sanctifed
and chastened by tender memories and
associations, and let the social inter-
course of friends with pleasant reminis-
cences renew the ties of affection and
strengthen the bonds of kindly feeling;
and let us by no means forget while we
give thanks and enjoy the comfort which
have crowned our lives, that truly CRATE
full hearts are inclined to deeds of chart
ty, and that q kind and thoughtful re.
membrance of the poor will double the
pleasure of our condition and render our
praise and thanksgiving more acceptable
in the sight of the Lord.
Done at the city of Washington, this
second day of November, one thousand
eight hundred and eighty-fve, and of
the independence of the United States
the one hundred and tenth.

STOCK soUIBs.

One thousand three hundred anG
ninety-nine cars Of cattle have been
shipped from Dodge City since last May
| Dodge City Globe: We hear almost
every day of horses being stolen in THU
vicinity, and warn campers and farmers
to keep q careful watch over theil
horses.
Washington Register: There are very
few large herds of cattle to be fed in
Washington county this year, on &C.
count Of the prevalence of disease among
hogs in some localities, though fully as
many lots of q car load and less are be-
ing fed by our farmers as usual.
Garden City Sent;nel The rain and
snow of last week will be hard on stock,
especially on sheep. Stock men would
have preferred no rain until about the
blows nobody good. The hay and fod-
der the grsngers have put up will be in
good demand and at remunerative prices.
Lawrence Journal: One of our report.
ers interviewed our veterinary surgeon,
Dr.. Murphy, in relation to the condition
of the hogs. Having made repeated
post mortem examinations in different
localities, the result seems to indi-
cate that it is not regular hog cholera,
bus is caused by bacteria, "a parasite) in
the blood producing q contagious dis
ease similar to spinal meningitis, produc-
ing symptoms of a varied character-in
some cases causing paralysis of the
throat, in others paraly sis Of the stom-
ach and other organs.
L.. s. Bachelor, of Concordia, Cloud
county, writes to the governor that he
has discovered q remedy for the eradi-
cation of hog cholera. He states that
the disease is q fever, the animal being
costive, with a cough and no appetite.
His remedy is oil of thirds Of
tablespoonful to large hog twice day,
with two drops of carbolic acid; also, if
costive, one heaping tablespoonful of sui
phur day in feed. If they will not eat
put it all in water. Keep them in \ dry
place. Give them a good ''smudging"
once day, and sprinkle air Stacked
lime in their nests. MI. Bachelor states
that he has cured seven out of nine after
they had all the symptoms of the dis
ease. He states that he has tried almost
every remedy to no purpose until he
tried this. He says to make his dis
covery public, and asks only that he
may be given credit for the discovery of
the remedy.

Salt Lake Tribune,

What did he die of?
Bilious fever.
I am surprised to hear that, because
he bosted he could cure me of bilious

How much did he charge you?
He charged me fearful bill. think
it was upward of $500.
Well, that explains why he did not
cure himself. He was a close man, and
at those figures couldn't afford to cure
himself.

Such was the case yesterday. Joe mount
ed his horse yesterday for the purpose of
s~allying out to serve some attachment pa
pers. Dynamitcr's views as to the direc.
ton to be taken did o at all agree with
those Joe entertained, and the result was
that each undertook to strike out in an
opposite direction from the other. Dyna-
inter, however, cut short the controversy
by first elevating one end and then the
other, at an angle of about forty-fve de-
grees, after which, by an unearthly
bound. he cleared the iron fence, pickets
and all, that separate the court house
yard from the residence on the north.
Then he stood right up straight, and slip

Two or three days ago a Chinaman
called at n certain place of business on
~ street and wanted TO buy a coat
John was, of course, waited upon, and
several different one we're shown to him.
He wa very solicitous, however, about
the price, and asserted That he didn't
want to pay ''vely muchee. Finally he
was shown one, the price of which was
50, but the clothier assured him that
seeing it's you, John, you can have that
coat for 81" John considered the mat
ter for awhile, and eventually concluded
to accept the proposition. He paid the
81, took the coat and departed. The
next day he returned to the same place,
bringing the coat with him. His almond
eyes were as big as small saucers. Seek
ing out the party who sold him the coat,
John explained TO him that he did not
want the coat.
why don't you want it2' asked the
clothier.
Me not wantee the coat, all samee
for that, and Johu opened the coat, and
not only showed where the moths had
eaten it through and through, but fur
thermorc displayed several of those in
seets or animals hard at work making
further havoc with the coat.
The clothier was offended. He drew
himself up to his fulles, height, and his
eyes flashed out the righteous wrath
which he felt, and fixing them straight on
the astonished John. who by this time
had begun to cringe and tremble, he ex
claimed in thunder tones:
why, you yellow imp, what do you
mean2 What do you take me for2 Do
you expect to get a 50 coat for 81, and
get humming birds with it? Why, you
must take me for snide.
John was nonplussed, aud gathering
up the coat he rushed out, muttering as
he went, Mclean man wantee go on wal

BAD LUCK.
Three sheep Herders Gone in Less
Than Six Months.

1t is proverbial in this portion of the
Far West that sheep herders have bad
luck-or rather that they turn out badly.
In regard to this, Mr.. N. +. Wheeler, of
Meadow Springs, Col. who is in the city,
relates his experience with them. To be-
gin with, he states that the mar recently
found near Carr Station, Col, and who
was supposed to have frozen to death was
one of his herders, but that instead of
freezing to death he was accidently
shot and killed. Only Ffew months ago
another Of his herders was struck and
killed by lightning not far from his ranch
at Meadow Springs. which fact, however,
did not get into the papers. But the
most singular experience of all that he has
had with this class occurred like the others.
in the vicinity of Meadow Springs,
but somewhat nearer the foot hills. He
had in his employ a very faithful herder by
the name of John GRAY, who had been in
his service for a long time. This
herder had placed in his special
charge a large band of sheep
that ranged in the vicinity of the foot
hills, among which he had a large corral
where in stormy times they would be
gathered for safe keeping, and near which
there was a small cabin in which the herd
er could find shelter. Some weeks ago
reports began to come in to Mr.. Wheeler
that his large band of sheep had not been
seen for some days on the range where
they usually fed. Becoming alarmed at
this, Mr.. Wheeler stnrted out to see what
was the matter, and eventually found
them in the corral before alluded to, but
how long they had been there was a mys-
terry. The herder could not be found.
and up to the present time his fate and
his whereabouts are a matter of mystery.
