THANKSGIVING DAY.

Another year has rolled around and
Thanksgiving day is again at hand. 1t
has been an eventful year, albeit it
may not have been happy or pros
porous one for all. Nor has it been
without it's lessons, which may greatly
offset some of the bitter experiences,
if we but profit by them.
But in spite of the fact that the
past year has been one largely made
up of adverSeS so far as the material
part Of life is concerned, the day
comes around as dear to the memory
of all people, and with many tender
associations linked Herewith, as
though fate had attached our fortunes
OF the past year to most prosperous
train. And there will indeed be few
who, as they gather around the festal
board tomorrow though that boaro
may not in the majority of instances
be garnished with a most sumptuous
repast, who will not be able to find
something to be thankful for, among
which to be first reckoned are life and
health.
1t is one of the happy features of
the American, that he is of a most
hopeful nature. Put him wherever
you will, and his great faith-his SUI
perior hopefulness in things and men,
will carry him through and enable him
to SurmOunt what are seemingly i'm
passible obstacles. And so tomorrow,
after one of the most trying years in
our history, he will find much to be
thankful for.
Thankful that things are no worse:
that the skies have brighter hue
and that the turn in the lane has
seemingly been reached; that he has
generous friends to stand by him in
his days of adversely; or that he is
happily in a way to help those les:
fortunate than himself And so il
one way or another we will all cherish
within our heart a grateful feelins
for the day and for the blessings, grea
or small, which we enjoy.
In wider scope than mere person
ality, the American people will hav,
much to be thankful for tomorrow. Ii
national sense we can give thanks

THE LADIES WILL BE THERE.

A Goodly Number of the Wives of
Representatives Will Spend the
Winter With their Honorable Hus=
bands at the Hub.
The Windsor hotel, st. Paul, besides
being headquarters for large num-
Der of senators and representatives,
will also be graced by an unusually
large number of the Solon's wives who
have evidently determined to take a
few weeks from home duties and en-
joy metropolitan life.
This will be pleasant, not only for
the ladies, for they always enjoy
themselves when feeling well and are
otherwise good natured, but also for the
hard-wOrked members who, while they
will be obliged to attend occasional
committee meetings at night will
probably so arrange as not to have any
great number coming consecutively.
Among those who will be found at
the Windsor we are informed of the
following, with others to follow
Senator and Mrs. Barr, Mankato
Senator and Mrs. Jones, Morris; Sena
tor and Mrs. Allen, Cloquet; Senator
and Mrs. Macarthur, Blue Earth City
Senator and Mrs. Hansen, Litchfeld
Representative Shell and family
Worthington, and probably Repre-
sentative and Mrs. Cross of Amboy.

Result Of Inquest on the Death Of John
Mulfavlsh.
An inquest was conducted at the Lacka-
wanna hospital yesterday by Coroner
Kelley and jury on the death Of John
Mulfavish, of Priceburg, who died Thurs.
day after being less than al hour in the
hospital.
The verdict rendered was TO the effect
that Mulfavish died Of paritonitis, Con-
siderable interest was attached to the
case from the fact that the deceased hav-
ing been brought to the hospital by three
fellow country men who made their de-
parture before anything definite about
the sick man could be learned.
An autopsy was performed under the
direction Of the,coroner which revealed all
the organs normal except the peritoneum
which was congested and infamed. The
testimony Of prs. McAndrews and Ruda-
sill, Of the hospital, was to the above
effect. DR., Belheimar. of Olyphant, testi-
fed that the deceased called upon him for
treatment May 2S, but he would not vent
ure definite opinion as to the complaint.
County Detective Shea visited Price
burg yesterday and found that Mulfavish
had been Sick several days.
