THANKSGIVING.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving day, and
no doubt all of US, if we are reasonable,
can find something to give thanks for.
Poverty may pinch or business cares
worry, but ii each in turn will compare
his lot with that of persons less fortunate
than himself instead of envying those
who areapparently better situated, there
will be found abundant room for thanks
giving. None OF us are so badly situated
but that we can see others in worse con-
dition. And outside of our individual
reasons for feeling thankful, collectively
we may all rejoice that we live in a
country where we enjoy the fullest re-
ligious and political liberty; where per-
sistent industry is sure to result in COM
petence, and where there are no limits
to the possibilities of any citizen. The
CHRONICLE feels thankful for many
things; for a large and increasing circu-
lation; for generous patronage, and for
the bright future dawning for the people
of Eastern Oregon. 1t hopes that to-
morrow each and every one of its. in
Vulnerable readers, will not only enjoy
the necessary Thanksgiving dinner. but
that each will appoint himself COM
mittee of one to see that the widow, the
orphan and the needy are made glad by
abundant good cheer, that they too may
rejoice and give thanks.

A Curious Phenomenon.


Leipzig has sensation just now in
the person of Strazini, who has kept the
medical profession in state of excite
ment ever since he made his appearance
there, says the New York Press. Stra-
zini astonishes his audiences by first
eating soup which consists of sawdust,
plentifully mixed with coal oil. The
mess is set afire, and after the flames
have been extinguished Strazine eats
the peculiar mixture, ladling it out with
a spoon. He follows this up with Bit
ing piece after piece from the lamp
chimney, crushing the glass between his
teeth and swallowing it. He washes it
down with little water. For desert
he muncheB pieces of hard coal, peat,
washing soda, tallow candles, pieces of
plaster cast and bricks, boots, clay
pipes, and seems to enjoy the conglom-
Grafton. All this is eaten at one meal
and in quick succession. A little water
is the only beverage in which he INDUCES
during that meal. Strazini asserts that
he does not feel the slightest discomfort
from this unusual diet and certainly

REMOVE THE BEAM.

Robert R. Whaley, member of the
Seventh Day Adventist church, at
Church Hill, Maryland. was committed
to prison Monday, November 5th, for
''doing bodily labor on the Lords day,
commonly called Sunday" 1t was con-
ceded that Whaley kept Saturday as his
Sabbath or Sunday and abstained from
labor on that day.
We can find no reason why the dis
tinction should be drawn as to keeping
Saturday, for it is the keeping of every
Seventh Day to observe Sunday. Never
theless if it is a matter OF conscience
with the Adventist sect, it seems pretty
hard that they should be put in jail for
not keeping two days in the week.
While this state of affairs exists, it is
just as well that this government refrain
from too harsh condemnation of the
Turks

looks it. When he has finished his din
ner of ceramics, he pours down two cups
of coal oil, throws his head back and
holds lighted match to his mouth.
There is a deep, putting sound, and a
fame three feet long leaps from his
mouth. After eating Strazini gives an
exhibition of danciug, as wonderful as
what has gone before. He does it with
bare feet in box filed with debris and
shreds of champagne bottles, lamp
shades, wine glasses, etc. Into this he
diqes with his feet, jumps about in all
directions. and ends by burying his head
in the broken glass, The strange part of
it is that he comes out withent scratch.
His cuticle seems to be as impervious to
such an onslaught as his stomach is to
sawdust and brick and burning coal oil.
Medical men from far and near have in
terviewed this curious phenomenon, but
are unable to give an explanation of bis
wonderful performances.

ROUGH ON THE HELPLESS.

Eastern railroads are beginning to de-
duct per cent from stock dividends on
sccount of the income tax, and stock
holders are aghast. This example will
have to be followed by all corporations,
from bands to building and loan associa-
tions. In this way the tax will reach
thousands of persons whose incomes are
not one-fourth of $4,000 per year, old
men and widows and orphans, whose
saving or inherltances are invested in
stock. All must pay tribute to the pop
ulist Moloch.
We were never before under the i'm
preston that the great soulless COZ pora-
tions of which we read were composed Of
the widow, the fatherless and the help
less. We had supposed that business
men, and devilish aggressive business
men at that, controlled these corpora
tions. But then, come to think of it,
Rockefeller is an orphan, Astor is get
ting old, and Mrs. Stanford is widow.

The Oregonian thinks we have some
queer laws here. This is true, but they
can hardly be considered curiosities be-
side some examples from Multnomah
and Clatsop. To illustrate, Judge Taylor
sentenced a prisoner to one year in the
pen for killing a man, and another two
years for stealing salmon. In Mutt
nomah county the cases are SO numerous
that one would hardly know which to
select. Emil Webber's murder might
do for one. However that does not alter
the correctness of the Oregonian's crit
icism.

blow that landed Nancy in a heap. The
