Importance of our National Festival.

The importance Of the Thanksgiving
festival lies in the fact that on this day
the people of America are called upon
to attribute their happiness, peace and
prosperity, not to the genius of Wash
ington or Lincoln, not to the victories
of Grant or the astute statesmanship Of
this or that great president or politi-
clan, but to the love and mercy and
power Of Almighty God. We regard the
yearly appointment Of day Of national
thanksgiving as the happiest, the most
di9nified the best method that IA great
country could resort to IN indicating

or service has this to say Of the weather
and crops: The past week has been in
general a continuation of the drought
condition; light showers fell in northwest
and southern counties the first of last
week, but these were insufficient even in
the localities most favored. Temporal
lures were high and sunshine practically
continuous. Rain is much needed for
crops and to replenish wells, springs and
streams. Corn has suffered less from the
lack of moisture probably than any
other crop; the fields are clean and culti-

gin in southern counties this week and
in central counties the coming week.
Along the Ohio valley and where rains
fell in southern and central counties the
wheat is slightly improved.
But the yield will be very light at best
and many fields in the central section
scarcely pay for the harvest. Rye is also
poor and much of it is being cut for hay.
Oats are heading very short and will be
light in yield. Clover harvest is done in
southern and we'll along in central
counties. The yield Is light but the con-
ditions favorable for cutting. Meadows
and pastures are much in need of rain,
also potatoes and gardens. Fruit is hold.

for the Jail at Woodstock-all except
Howard. He d6l not want to be locked

matter at heart that is dearer to him than
the A. r. Ia rival organization. So
he will be cent to the Will county Jail at
Joliet.
But when the other prisoners were
taken in charge ready to go to the train
Debs was missing. He had told the mar.
shal at noon that he had a good deal of
business to attend to, but would be
through in time for the train and prom.
ised to report at 4 n. IN. Three men were
sent out to hun. for him and told to
bring him in wherever found. But up to

Loaned 5000, 900 withou. Security,

CINCINNATI, O., June 1s.-R. B. Foote,
president of the Commercial bank, was
on the stand in the insolvency court. He
testified that the bank leaned $500. 900 to
Clemens s. Hellebush without taking
any security. After that the bank took
as security deeds amounting to $50, OJ0
and diamonds and stock of the estimated
value of $50, 900. All this was a palpable
violation of the state law. President
Foote said he knew other banks to get
out of as bad situation and he hoped the
Commercial bank would somehow pull
through
