THANKSGIVING DAY.

a proper sense of gratitude Is one
of the noblest attributes of man. So
deep seated has become the convic-
tion upon this point that the migrate
is everywhere regarded with disfa-
vor and positive contempt, Upon
this morning of national thanlSsgiv-
ing it becomes the duty of all to
search their hearts for kindly senti-
ment, and to recall the history of the
year so near its close, and forgetting
all that carries n trace of bitterness
and anger, dwell only upon those
features which tell of mans love for
his fellow man. They who have
been most grievously scolirged by
the cruel hand of adverse fate may
find something that tells of kindly
word and generous impulse, while
Others upon whom the sun of for
tune has deigned to shine may be
moved to deeds of kindness and
charity, whose memory will linger
in the distant years to soothe and
cheer in hours of darkness and
death.
1T is a pleasure to fancy that i'm
the still and solemn watches of the
night, when all the land was locked
in the gentle chains of slumber, "a
fair and radiant spirit walked the
earth, and poured into the hearts of
man noble sentiment of thankful
ness and charity. How else shall
we explain the change that falls
upon the land to-day, wherein the
fierce strife Tor gain and fame shall
cease, and the whole nation unite i'm
songs of praise?
The poor! Alas, that we should
have to write the word, upon this
day of happy laughter and universal
feasting, will that not be forgotten
byimen and women Of thoughtful
mood and kindly Impulse. The
spirit of the occasion will have been
lost if some embittered heart is led
to Il deeper realization of its woes by
the contrast of scenes of plenty and
cheer which linger about your
festive board. If they who are
poorly clad and ill-fed ARE made to
feel more deeply the heavy hand of
poverty, it were far better that the
day had never been observed.
Even this beautiful city of happy
homes is not devoid of abodes of
misery and sickness. And it be-
comes the solemn duty of every man
A 4 4
to search these places out to-day,
and send n blessed ray of sunshine
and charity across their unhappy
thresholds. We bcseech every
reader to do this kindly act to-day,
and when the dark shadows fall
upon the land tonight, and you re-
call the pleasures OF the day, the
remembrance of that deed of charity
will linger like bcnediction.

GREAT FIRES.

This Is year of great fires. The
city of Lynn, Mass, has met the
fate Of Spokane Falls, and suffered
u loss of $40, 900, 900 In property alone.
At the very beginning of the winter
season 5000 homeless employees arc
made destitute In few hours. Re-
lief Is being sent, and In all proba-
bility want and suffering will be III
layed by liberal contributions from
neighboring cities. ...
Losses of this kind are disastrous
and difficult to comprehend. 1t is
not the loss of property clone,
but the losses which accompany
such calamities that are felt by the
sufferers. AS rule the American
people are noted for their generous
impulses, and when the opportunity
is given, unexpected contributions
are freely offered, accompanied by
expressions of confidence and cOur-
age, which enable new start to
be made with much less difficulty
than would naturally he expected.
With all the competition and strife
I'm business there Is always help
ing hand extended, which gives
confidence to those who have been
overcome by misfortune. AS rule
II severe loss in property in cities Is
followed by an era Of enterprise
and prosperity, which results In the
establishment of better and more
substantial improvements.

MOSCOW NOTES.
From the Mirror.l

The value of property inside the cor
poratc limits OF the town of Moscow
amounts to about million dollars. The
assessed value Is about four hundred
and two thousand dollars, which is very
low.
The barn Of Judge Wing of Potlatch
burned last Thursday, together with
seven valuable horses, hay, grain, etc.
The fire was caught by putting ashes
with tire in them in chicken house,
which set the barn OH fire. The loss
will amount to about fifteen hundred
dollars.
The machinery for the electric light
plant was finished being put in place
last "Wednesday, and put in motion IN
the evening. The fash of the lights
were greeted with applause by those
who were on the street. The lights are
a boon to pedestrians on dark nights.
The water bonds have been accepted
by the Chicago firm and arc expected to
arrive for the signature of the mayor and
clerk sometime the coming week. The
contractor will not begin operations un-
til after the forwarding OF the bonds to
Chicago, which will be about three
weeks. The piping and other material,
we understand, is awaiting orders for
shipment.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Attorney General Jones Talks OF
the Object of His Visit to
Washington.
A Test Case Will Be Heard Bc-
fore the Secretary of the
Interior. ..

Attorney General William G.
Jones, who left OH Tuesday
train for Washington, ID. c., to rep
resent the interests of this state be-
fore the interior department i'm the
matter of determining the rights of
an individual to file on tide lands,
was seen by a REVIEW reporter yes
tcrday evening, and in answer to a
request for an explanation of the
object of his visit to Washington,
said:
at is perhaps first necessary to
explain that when the government
makes surveys of public lands the
meander line along the seashore is
run along the line Of ordinary high
water. At this meander line the
land Is presumed to end and the
water to begin.
"On the first of last February
Frederick Burns, Jr., sought to 10
cate piece of Valentine scrip on
the seashore, lying below the line
of ordinary high tide, in front of
the city of Tacoma,
tie refused to accept the filing.
Burns took an appeal to the COM
missioner of the general land Office,
who reversed the ruling of the Scat
tie land office officials and instructed
them to accept the filing.
"The various riparian owners pro-
tested against the acceptance of the
filing, and appealed to the secretary
of the interior. The secretary very
recently notified the professionals and
the attorney general that all the
parties interested In the determina-
ton of the question would be heard
before him on the lith of December,
and Governor Ferry instructed me
to proceed to Washington.
"Thc state claims to have entire
title and Jurisdiction of all scashore

freedom more extensive than are
found I'm many of the constitutions
of the American republics.
His travels throughout the Amer
icas and the various countries of the
old world gave him broad and liber-
al ideas as to the inherent rights of
citizens. Unlike other rulers, he al
lowed his honest convictions to out
weigh selfish qualification for
wealth and power and gave his peo-
pie the full benefits of what he hon
estly believed to be their sovereign
rights. Under his long rule the
people learned the value of repub-
lican form government. The king
erins Of power from the old, entee-
blcd and respected emperor rather
than risk an illiberul successor.
Thus ends the rule of one of the
Oldest cmperors of the world. The
throne, the crown and the scepter
are banished from the western con-
tlnent. The colonial dependencies
which remain are assuming an inde-
pendence which fOretelis ultimate
separation from the mother coun-
tries.
The example of the bloodless over
throw Of an empire in IA day is UNI
paralleled In history. 1t is the re-
suit of the enlightcnmentand reason
of the age. That its like should be
repeated within u few years i'm the
overthrow of the remaining empires
would not he n surprise to all liberty
loving people. Already the need
less expense of royalty is agitating
the minds Of the subjects of the En-.
gllsh throne. A decade may find all
rulers sprlnging from among the
common people, guided only by the
sovereign and inalienable rights oi
free men.

HONEST PRIMARIES.

The bill introduced by Senator
Kinnear to regulate primary cleo
tions Is one of the most important
measures that will he considered by
the legislature during this session.
1t requires that public notice shall
be given of all primaries, stating
the purpose, time and manner of
voting and the authority under
which such elections are held. 1t
makes a general provision as to the
length of time the polls shall be
kept open, and prescribes the quail
fications of judges of election, the
manner in which the votes shall be
counted and the results proclaimed.
All persons who are challenged are
required to sign u written or printed
oath az to their qualifications as
electors. No one is permitted to
vote unless his name has been pre-
vously registered on the general
poll list.
These are some of the main fea-
lures; Others as to minute details are
incorporated, which make u
very complete ''primary election
law" BY this proposed act many
safeguards are introduced which are
calculated to keep the primary
elections free from all forms of un-
lawful voting. Under this system
the will of the majority, expressed
by the ballot, will decide as to
proper candidates to be placed In
nomination before the people.
Party success Is often thwarted by
self-imposed and self-appointcd as
pirants for Office. The Judgment of
the people often has but little weight
with the selection of candidates, and
in such instances but little interest
Is taken in the success at the polls
of the so-called party candidates.
BY carrying out the spirit and in
tent of the proposed net candidates
will bc selected who will have the
hearty support of the people. The
popular demands will require eff
cient men to serve the public inter
ests, and the dignity and standing

A GIGANTIC SWINDLE.
Four Hundred Servant Girls

CHICAGO, Nov. 90. Sensational devel-
opmcnts are following each other rap

Tonight 1t is asserted that thousands of
settlers, mainly Scandinavians, In Kan
sas, Iowa. and other Western states, who
had as they supposed paid for IT. their lsA
have absolutely no title to it.
Dark hints are dropped that back OF
Frederickson were parties In Milwaukee,
who are the real beneiioiarles of the gi-
gantic frauds, and wholesale arrests OF
clerks and other persons In Chicago, who
brazenly acted rs Frederlcksen's tools
are talked Of
Tomorrow the states attorney and
the chief sufferers will consult and Or
guIiize plan of campaign. Eight or
ten eastern capitalists are said by ono
authority this evening TO have contrib
uted 500, 900 each to Fredericksen' $
Golfers, and $4,000 is thought to have
been dropped by single Victim out OF
many in Milwaukee.
+. G.. Clumbstock is another Wis.
consin victim. Mr.. Cowie was heard
sens arrest would be secured If 1t were
necessary to follow him to the end o!
the world. Cowie says two hundred
servant girls in Chicago invested with
Frcderoksen from $50 to 500 each, and
have lost ali.
Among Chicago capitalists who arc
mentioned rs having had confidence in
F'rcderickscn and suffered thereby are
Il. q. Southworth, the steel man. and
s. w. Ruwson, bankers, Besides these,
the losers are said to include the Fort
Dearborn National bank and tho Chicago
Loan and Trust company.
Ex-Governor Rice of Wisconsin, ono
OF the victims of the swindlc, arrived
600 and says Cashier Nunemacher of the
Merchants Exchange bank OF Mil
waukee is also a heavy loser, while e.
ID, Hendricks, II prominent real estate
broker of Milwaukee, has lost every cent
ho owned and has been forced to assign.
Some weeks ago Fredericksen CON
fe.scd to Nuunemacher, Hendrick,
and Rice that he had been issuing fraud
ulcnt deeds and mortgages, but the
@ normous extent of the deception was
not disclosed. The trio of capitalists let
fredcrickscn go ahead and form stock
comp any for half million dollars, tc
carry on the business and them
selves took most of the stock
Since then untold other crookedness had
como to their ears and Fredericksen had
fled. Rice says a number of large deal
ers in railroad lands in Chicago hole
credit.
To-day Fredericksen's bookkeeper,
Goodwin, was held In bonds of $4,000
until Saturday. Mr.. Vaughn, who was
appointed receiver for FredericSsen,
asked to be discharged. He reported
tile assets in sight as less than 500.

The laying of track on tine Washing

Kellogg yesterday afternoon and a side
track also laid and in few days we
may expect trains TO rum over the line

anxiously expected event has been ac-
compiishcd and the benefits arising
therefrom will be speedily felt. Al
ready preparations are on foot for the
erection of large conccntrators and an
increased development OF our mines
with a vastly augmented output Of ore
can bc looked for from TINS time for

lines of railroad Cnur d. Alcne Is placed
on an equal footing with other and
older mining states and territories and
her record will be found equal to tho
best. The completion of the W. & 1.
line to this point y hailed with delight,
and a season of thrift and prosperity
will follow that never has been equaled

DON'T KEEP YOUR PIANO DRY
1t Puts the Sounding Board Out of
Shape nUd Doea Lots Of Harm.

Every few know how to take care of

for the Mail and Exp ress who had
visited his waroroom,
"How do you do II here4" asked the
scribe.
'lt is a popular notion that pianos
ought to he kept very dry. Nothing
could be more fallacious. Pianos are
not nearly so much affected by heat or
cold as they are by dryncss, and re.
versely, by dampness. 1t is not gener-
ally known that the sounding board,
the life of piano, is forced into the
case when 1t is made so tightly
on 'nat ii. eusTs se up pnrjnoin1 in the center
violin. The wood is supposed to be as
dry as possible, but of course. it contains
some moisture, and gathers more on
damp days and in handling. Now, when
piano is put into an oyerheated, dry
room, all this moisture is dried out,
and the board loses its shape and gets
iiabby and cracks. Even il it doesn't
crack, the tone loses its resonance and
grows thin and tinny, the felt cloth and
leather used in the action dry up, and
tho whole machine rattles."
How will you prevent this?'
Keep a growing plant In your room
and so long as your plant thrives your
piano ought to, or else there is some.
how much more water will have to be
poured into the flower. pot in the room
