KsG DAY.

This is Thanksgiving day-a day sci
apart for ruturning thanks to the Great
Creator for the blessing enjoyed BY the
| children of men during the last year. II
is a custom which is beautiful, and which
has general observance throughout the
| Union of States. 1t is a day of festival
and Of prayer. 1t is a time when fami'
| lies scattered here and there are reunited,
if possible, under the old roof tree, and
of all reunions, it is perhaps the most sa'
cred. Yet like all American holidays,
it is fast loosing it's original significance,
because wearied humanity, in these
tread mill times, welcomes a holiday
more for rest and recreation than it does
for mere sentiment or duty.
OF course the churches have their ser
| vices and goodly congregations are there
but the majority Of mankind seeks
worldly pleasures, and while in the hearts
Of men, there may be abundant thank
fulness, it is true that they make but lit
tie demonstration. Many to-day will
90 hunting, will lounge around in
Sweet ~idleness," giving no heed to the
real objects of the day, but yet each one
is thankful that a holiday has come.
Families have the thanksgiving turkey
with a friend or two at the board, and a
day of happines is passed at home.
And it may be we'll enough. We know
and every human being knows, no mat
ter what his present condition or what
were his mi%sfortunes and reverses during
the year just past, he has many things
for which he is thankful, and in his heart
he acknowledges it to his GoD.
Thanksgiving day is only an institu-
ton of man's-and base indeed, if he
would wait a whole year to return thanks
for his daily blessings. If he has not
been THANKFUL upon each recurring day,
then the service of Thanksgiving day
will be lost to him.

Was 1t A Murder?

In excavating for the LiEdbergh
block some bones, relics of the past,
have been found on the site of the
old Beehive building There is a diff
ference OF opinion as to whether they
are human bones or those OF some OF
the lower order OF creation. One
gentleman, who looks as though he
might be a good student of anatomy,
declares they are human bones, but
another insists that they are those
of deer, which in filling up an old
wefThad with other refuge matter
been thrown into it. Some sugges-
tions were made as to having a cor
Oner's inquest, but it was thought
that such an inquiry into the mists Of
antiquity, or perhaps over the b"nes
of some pre-, historic animal, would
hardly reveal a murderer at this late
day, though, it is a fact that bones
in quite large quantities were found
At last accounts the county commits
sioners had offered no reward for the
apprehension OF the guilty party.
Possibly the remains of some old
Indian chief, buried there with great
pomp fifty or hundred years ago,
have been reposing beneath the roar
OF commerce. Ii SO, in the Lindbergh
block he will have a fine monument
erected over them.

rendered by Judge Searle in the mat
Yesterday, but Sheriff Houde says
the matter was practically decided
in his favor. And the other side con-
cede that the indications are that it
will be from what the Judge stated,
though they do not regard it certain
that he will So decide. They saya
mistake was made in ever using tue
city hall for q Jail.
Sheriff Houde says that Judge
Searle construed the law to require a
city to keep it's own prisoners if it
has q city Jail otherwise the county

It seemed to appear to the
judge, from what is stated, that
Morrison county could not conven-

and that since the city had a jail it
would not be right to oyer-crO Wd
