THANKSGIVING DAY.

This is the annual Thanksgiving
Day. Day set apart for thanks
and turkey. The day when the
scattered members of the old house
holds gather in annual reunion and
live over again the experiences of
the year since last they met. 1t is
the day sacred to the memories of
home and all that is suggested in
that word of words, HOME. One
moro year has died out of the
calends of Time since the members
of the LIGHTS families, to whom it
now sends greetings, gathered each
around their respective boards to
keep Thanksgiving. The plates will
be set and the chairs placed for each
one, be he absent or present, thus
maintaining alive present recol-
lection of the absent as well rs
those assembled. What changes
has the year wrought? How many
vacant chairs will there be, for
whose occupant a gray-haired
mother waits, and waits in vain,
knowing that no more among the
assemblies of her sons and daugh-
tiers will the old occupant of that
chair appear: All, how the menu
DRY of these absent ones sOftens all
the heart and tenders the associa-
tiOns that cluster around them. 1t
is not in the power of strongly
tender nature, any more than in
that Of a loving, wOmanly one, to
surround the old family table and
see the vacant chair and plate
without a sOftening Of the heart to
the universal humanity. 1t is one
thus to tender all hearts and
bring in that universally of SYM
pathy that makes the human
breast a thing apart from that
Of all else earthly. The LIGHT
sends its simple, kindly greetings
to all Of its great family on this
memorial day. 1t gives thanks
with. every one of these families
that make up its own great fami-
ly" for all of good that has come
into their lives this closing year.
Thanks for life, health, home,
friends, pleasures, pains that have
strengthened life, ills that have
been consecrated to the highest
uses of making better men and
women, all that has advanced the
manhood and wOmanhood of you
to whom this Thanksgiving mes.
sage comes. May the day bring
sunshine to every heart and lift a
shadow from any upon whom the
cloud may rest. AS you eat turkey
with thanksgiving in your hearts
may you remember the turkeyless
the sad ones, the bereaved, the suf
fering in mind, body and estate

WINONA, Mimi, July 3.-The battle
royal between Surveyor General Null
len and the lumbermen is apparently on
in good shape, and his forcible attach
ment of the logs at West Newton has
developed an unique situation. Messrs.
NJ. q. Norton, L. S. Youmans, Judge
Thomas Wilson and Attorney Thomas
Simpson returned from West Newton
this morning, and report ito them)
very unsatisfactory state of affairs eX-
listing. When Gen. Mullen took pos
session OF the logs at West Newton he
took matters into his hands, and with
out any process of law placed a posse of
twelve men on fourteen brailS of logs
containing $50, 900 feet of lumber. These
logs were tied up about five miles below
the West Newton works, near Mime
iska. They had passed out of the
hands of the Minnesota Boom company,
and were no longer its property, be-
longing to the John Paul Lumber Com
pany of La Crosse, and Lindsay &
Phelps. of Davenport. The general
armed his men with guns, which they
kept discharging at intervals through
out the night, evidently with the intent
to intimidate any boats which might
approach.
Next day the steamer Jessie Bill at
tempted to take away some of the logs
for Lindsay & Phelps, but the boats
crew was successfully repulsed by the
posse, and the boat had to continue or
up to West Newton to secure a raft. A
telegram was then sent to Winona, and
in response thereto the abOve-named
officials hurried to the scene of action.
They we're obliged to 60 to Wabasha to
confer with Gen. Mullen, but without
satisfactory results. The lumber
men, desiring to obtain a peace
full settlement of the matter, Of
fered to give the general ample
security for the payment of his fees at
such time as the courts should decide
that he is legally entitled to collect the
same. This proposition did not suit the
general, as he does not care to wait so
long for his fees. He refused to accede
thereto, or take his men off the brails of
logs.
The attorneys for the lumbermen
state that, the logs being private prop
erty on which the general has no claim,
his forcible possession thereof is en-
tirely contrary to law. They think he
adopted his present course of action
because he knew that under the statutes
he could not get lien on any of the
property in the boomS.
The plan of procedure which the lum-
bermen have decided upon is for the
owners of the logs to take possession of
their own property, and if any resist
ance is offered by this posse of men
Gen, Mullen will be held responsible
for damages, if he has not already laid
himself open to suit by the first re-
pulse of tue steamer Jessie Bell. If the
posse attempt to use their arms, they
| will do so at their own peril and will be
held strictly responsible under the law.

WASHINGTON, July 5. Secretary
Hoke Smith will arrive in ST. Paul next
Monday morning, where he will be the
guest Of President James J. Hill, of the
Great Northern road. Possibly two
days will be spent in looking over the
Twin Cities, after which, with Presi-
dent Hill and party, trip will be made
over the Great Northern TO Helena an
the Yellowstone park. The return will
be over the Northern Pacific. About
ten days will be spent OH this trip.
The plan is for the party to pass
through the lovely park region
In daylight, arriving at Grand Forks in
the morning, where few hours will be
spent. On the return trip, Fargo will
be similarly honored. Originally Sec
rotary Smith had planned to spend six
weeks on this trip, but the early call for
the meeting of congress has made
shortening of the trip necessary. AL
though SOutherner, the secretary of
the interior is great friend of the
Northwest, and he proposes to learn
something about this section with which
his office has so much to DO. He had
planned to leave Washington about the
middle of this month and 60 direct
to Chicago. From the Windy City
he was to go to St. Paul and from there
on to Helena as the guest of President
Hill. At Helena he was to meet the
officer in charge of Yellowstone park.
and with him to view the sights at that
interesting spot. After this he pro-
posed visiting the various Indian res
ervations as far South as California if
possible. Mrs. Smith and the children
will accompany the secretary on this
trip. The Milwaukee chamber of CON-
merce today wired the secretary to learn
whether he would accept a banquet
there, and it is possible he may do so.

The Entire Scale Will Undoubt-

PITTsBURG, July SIT Is now con-
tidently expected that general resump-
ton of work will take place next Mon
pay in all the union iron mills in the
Pittsburg district. The next few days
will be spent in making needed repairs,
so that when the plants resume
the machinery VIII be in rrst-
class condition. In the meantime
the thousands of idle workmen will ell
JOY much needed rest. At next Sat
urday'S conference the entire scale will
be settled. The one element that caused
a slight hitch Saturday, it is expected
by that time, will have been peaceably
disposed of. The next matter of impOr-
lance in the wage discussion will be the
meeting between the conference com
mittee and the Mahoning and Shenango
Valley iron manufacturers. Secretary
Kilgal!On said today that definite
arrangements for a meeting had
not yet been made, but that in
all probability a session would
be held this week. From what can
be learned the meeting will take place
Wednesday or Thursday morning at
Youngstown. John ID. Carey, president
OF the tiniShers' union. has issued
statement that Jones IL LaughlinS. as
we'll as other manufactures, will grant
a conference to the Representatives of
that organization. This afternoon Sec
rotary Kilgallon received a telegram
from Marion, Ind, stating that WeSter-
man cOmpany's iron mill at that place
had signed the scale. About three hun
dred men are employed by the firm.

COINAGE CHAIRMANsH1P.
Some Doubts as to Whether
Bland Will Succeed Himself

Some Doubts as to Whether
Bland Will Succeed Himself
WASHINGTON, July Sowing to the
fact that betterment of the national
finances will be the first and gravest
problem to be confronted, particular in
terest attaches to the house committee
on coinage of the next congress. An adj
verse committee would be III position
to very considerably obstruct business
and worry the advocates of the repeal
of the Sherman law. Whether or not
Mr.. Bland will be reappointed chair
man, no one appears to know to a GER
tainty. His record as an earnest
and answering friend of silver
is well known, and his Democracy
is unquestioned. When a speaker is
| Reelected 1t has generally been his Gus
tom to reappoint the old chairmen. The
doubt in the case of MIR. Bland arises
from the fact that Mr.. Crisp is well
known to be in thorough sympathy with
the presidents ideas of legislative
| needs, and may hesitate to appoint to
| so important a committee man so
thoroughly committed to an opposite
view. In case Speaker Crisp should de-
eide not to give Mr.. Bland the chair
manship, the next in line Of direct sue
cession would be Representative Ira
cey, who is gold standard man. Those
who know both men freely assert that
the elevation of Mr.. Tracey to the coin
age craftsmanship would be especially
| gratifying to the executive.
