Thursday, November %, Designated
by the President.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The following proc
lamation, setting apart Thursday, November
%, as day of national thanksgiving, was
issued late this afternoon:
By the President of the United States. A
proclamation A highly favored people,
mindful of their dependence on the bounty
of Divine Providence, should seek fitting
occasion to testify gratitude and ascribe
praise to Him who is the author of their
many blessings. 1t behooves us then to look
back with thankful hearts over the past year
and bless God for His infinite mercy in
vouchsafing to our land enduring peace, to
our people freedom from pestilence and
famine, to our hnsbandmen abundant harv-
ests, and to them that labor recompense of
their toll.
Now, therefore. l, Benjamin Harrison.
do earnestly recommend that Thursday, the
twenty eighth day of this present month of
November, be set apart as day of national
thanksgiving and prayer, and that the peo-
pie of our country, ceasing the cares and la
bors of their working day, shall assemble at
their respective places of worship and give
thanks to God, who has prospered US on our
way and made our paths the paths of peace;
beseeching Him to bless the day to our pres
ent and future good, making it truly one of
thanksgiving each reunited home circle as
for the nation at large.
In witness thereof, have hereunto set my
ha I'd and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this first
day of November. in the year of our Lord,
one thousand eight hundred and eighty nine,
and of the independence of the United
States the one hundred and fourteenth.
By the president, BENJAMINE HARRISON.

HORRIBLE.
The Fearful Crime of Incest Charged
Against Citizen of Defiance.
H. Nj. Sigler Ruins one Daughter and
Attempts the Ruin Of Another
Arrested and in Jail.
ISrecial to the Bee.l

DEFIANCE. o.. Nov. 2.-This city was
startled last night by the news of the arrest of
a prominent merchant, II. M. Sigler. charged
with the horrible crime of incest. The par
ticulars as obtsiua5le at present are as fol-
lows: Abont four years since Mr.. Sigler by
threats and other expedients succeeded in
running his Oldest daughter, then girl of four
teen. Criminal intercourse continued until
last winter. when the girl repulsed all further
advances of hernnnatural father and the story
of the fearful crime was disclosed to the wife
and mother. Mrs. Sigler, who is an excel
lent lady, and most highly respected, was
overwhelmed with grief, but for the sake of
her daughter declined to make public the
story of the tiendish inhumanity of the man.
Doubtless she would have retained the secret
for all time if her incestuous husband had
continued to behave himself. This week,
Mrs. Sigler learned that he had commenc-
ed advances toward another daughter, child
less than l2 years old. This was too much for
the poor mother and she presented informa-
tion to Prosecuting Attorney Winn, which se-
cured the prompt arrest of the scoundrel. He
was taken before Mayor Hay, and was re-
leased on $500 bail. His suretics afterward
released the man and bond was increased to
$l500. Being unable to obtain bail he was sent
to Jail, where he now is. The feeling against
the prisoner is very strong. Mrs. SIgler has
alsJ instituted proceedings for divorce.
Sigler came to Defiance about six years ago
from Elmira, New York, and opened large
queensware establishment. His financial
standing was good, but he soon contracted
bad habits, gambled away his substance,
drove q son away from home, and has now
added to his shametulli life the most heinous of
all crimes. There is no doubt of his guilt and
the law will undoubtedly deal with him as
roughly "a possible.

A Strange Case.

Had Mrs. H. A. Gardner, of Vistula, Ind,
lived two thousand years ago she would have
been thought to be possessed by evil spirits.
She was subject to nervous prostration, head
aches, dizziness, backache, palpitation and
forty or fifty spasnsa day. Though having
been treated by eight physicians for years
without success, she was permanently cured
by one bottle of DR.. Miles Restorative Ner-
vine. A trial bottle of this new and wonder
full medicine, and finely illustrated treatise
free at l. Lelsts drugstore, who recommends

Ringing Noises

In the ears, sometimes roaring buzz

exceedingly disagreeable and very COM

also result from catarrh. Hoods Sar-

peculiarly successful remedy for this
disease, which it cures by purifying the
blood. If you suffer from catarrh, try

from eating fish preserved on ice. On the
other hand. keeping fish dry and cool can in
no way favor putrefaction. And although
here cases of poisoning may happen, yet the
symptoms are much less marked. and pass
of sooner, the toxic effects being usually con-
fined to a passing attack of vomiting and
diarrhea, while in the case of fish preserved
on ice the vomiting and diarrhea may be less
marked, though the other symptoms may be
much more profound and lasting, and even
sometimes fatal. There are various poisons
derivable from putrid fish, the detailed con-
sideration of which requires much further
elaboration, work, experiment. and research.
Indeed, as upward of seventy different kinds
of food fishes, within few hours of their
death, on being eaten, give rise to poisonous
symptoms, the Russian government, in 1894,
will award a prize of 5000 rubles (say rough
ly E5OOO) for the best essay upon the nature
and cure of fish poisoning.

ably the only ones who thorough,
appreciate his social qualities.

perhaps, that the books on the shelves
are not OF the sort that Mr.. Edison is
likely to be interested III personally,
a substantial figure, with big head
above shoulders slightly stopped, a
smooth face, and with long iron-gray
hair that lies less carelessly across the
forehead, comes in smiling and with
hand extended. 1t is the master of
the house. There is cordial look
IN his face that puts the stranger, no
matter how nervous he may have
been at the prospect of meeting such

When talking Mr. Edison never
misses reasonable opportunity to
say some humorous, aud what is bet
ter yet is the fact that good story is
rendered exquisitely funny by his
way of telling it. Each point IS
made in the right sequence, until, at
last, with queer motion or twitch
of the face, the climax is reached. 1t
is invariably irresistible.
Although Mr., Edison was not col
lege bred, he uses what many college
men do not--good English. Those
to whom he has explained an iuven-
ton or a machine are always struck
by the simplicity of his words and
the clearness Of his explanations. He
not only gets a perfect grasp of every
subject in which he is interested, but
he is able To give an associate an
equally clear grasp of it. His man.
