point Thursday, the Goth of November.
A. ID. 1886, a day of thanksgiving and

Let all the people properly observe
the day by repairing to their several
houses of worship with healts full of
thankfulness to our Heavenly Father
for the many blessings which we have
enjoyed during the past year. Our
usual health has been preserved. The
fairly bountiful harvest, the largely in
creased value of much of our farm pro-
duct, with the many evidences of re-
turning prosperity which are to be seen
on every hand, give us great encourage

On this day of Thanksgiving, let the
poor be remembered that the lives of
the more favored may be made happier
i'll the knowledge. that they have con

those who are less fortunate. Let us
all hope that the reflex influence of our
prayers will stimulate us to nobler en-
ertions for the upbuilding of tho name
and fame of our young state. upon the
enduring basis of integrity and honor.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the state of South Dakota at

The STAR heartily endorses the senti-

the call extended to him by the Mime.
apolis church We were informed,
however, by DIR. Hancher before his
departure that. should he accept the
Minneapolis invitation, his pastorate
there would extend only to March 1.
Meantime the interests of the college
would not be neglected by him, as
during his Minneapolis pastorate, he
expects to devote some of his time in
the states of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin, to the financial affairs of the insti
tuition. After March 1st he expects to
devote his entire time farther east in
the interest of the college.

A PORTLAND SENSATION,
Mrs. Ryan Brings a Suit for
Divorce Against Her
Husband.
She Is Wealthy and Her Children Are
Said to Have Instigated the
Contest.

PORTLAND Oh, Jan. 15.-The sensa-
tional divorce case of the aged and wealthy
Mrs. Elizabeth Ryan against her husband,
A. G.. Ryan, the we'll known horseman,
was commenced in Judge Shattuck's de-
partment of the State Circuit Court to-day.
All the witnesses and an eager public
which was looking for startling evidence.
were excluded from the courtroom.
Mrs. Ryan is the widow OF Captain John
Irving, who died worth about 500 600.
Ryan was Captain Irving's hostler and
when the widow married the second time
there was serious split in the family The
couple had lived peaceably together for
about eight years. Mrs. Ryan, while being
examined on the witness stand, broke
down and admitted that her son-in-law
had induced her to sign the complaint for
divorce against her husband in order that
she might proceed to make her will and
dispose of her property to her Two children.
Mrs. Ryan charged in her com plaint
that Ryan was habitually drunk and occa-
sionally abused her.
When short time ago Mrs. Ryan at
tempted to make a viii disposIng of her
estates she found she could not do so as
long as her husband is alive, as he holds a
life interest in the estate, which includes
some of the most valuable waterfront
property in Portland, also the Irvington
Park racetrack and the Irvington Addi
ton.

The NEWS OF SAN JOSE,
Suit of Several Thousand Dollars
Against the Averrett
Estate.
A Deaf Mute Adjudged Insane-Suit
Brought on an Old $4,000
Judgment.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Jan. 15.-Judge Rey-
nolds this morning made an order citing
Emma L. Averrett, executrix of the estate
of Alvis E. Averrett, to appear and show
cause why she should not convey certain
property to James E. Gordon.
According to petition filed by James E.
Gordon he and Averrett entered into a con-
taact-on December, 1893-by which the
latter agreed to purchase a lot on the
southeast corner of Stockton and Julian
streets for $4,000 and to assume mortgage
of $4,000 on the lot.
Gordon gave Averett $50 shares of the
Argonaut Land and Development Com
pany, valued at $4,000, in payment for the
lot. The stock was mortgaged for $4,000,
and this Averrett agreed to assume.
Gordon delivered but 100 shares of the
stock and gave mortgage on 335 acres OF
land in Shasta County as security for the
remaining fifty shares OF stock.
Averrett died on May 2S, 1894 and the
contract was never carried out
The petitioner states that he and the
executrix are perfectly willing to carry out
the contract, and asks that such an order
be made.

In Many Parts of California
Agricultural Panics Were
Averted.
RANCHERs RAISE THEIR HEADS
Snow In the Mountains and Rain in
the Valleys Bring Prosperity
to All.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Jan 15-The
rain reached Santa Barbara to-day, and
after several hours of Intellectual effort and
paroxysms of sprinkling, began to come
down steadily and resolved itself into a
heavy downpour. There is every prospect
that this will continue throughout the
night, and ranchmen and stockmen are
jubilant.
Now that the season is assured, it may
be confessed that veritable panic has
prevailed throughout Southern California
for the past three or four weeks, and IN
some localities banks last week refused to
make further loans even upon costly build
ings in process of construction. The dry
season OF two years ago, and the indiffer-
emily good season last year, had brought
farmers to such plight that unless this
season proved a prosperous one of good
crops all around ruin was imminent in
many cases. This timely downfall secures
the country for the present, and promises
good things for the future.

Il Heary Hind aud Rain Storm Reported

SUMMIT. CAL, Jan. 15.-Snow COM
menced falling early yesterday morning,
and. though the fall was light and unac-
companied by wind, the majority of old
mountaineers hereabouts predicted a
heavy storm, and they were not mis-
taken. About o'clock this evening the
wind commenced blowing, and at the
present writing the storm is raging fercely,
with no signs Of abatement, and, from
the present indications, will be the worst
Of the season thus far.
While no serious trouble is looked for
by the railroad company, still if the heavy
wind continues it Will cause the snow to
drift inside the sheds, and will necessitate
the running OF flanger to keep the tracks
clear
A heavy rain and wind storm was re-
ported raging at Towles this afternoon,
and is said to prevail at Blue Canyon; but
in the snow belt, which lies between Emf
grant Gap and tunnel 13, the beautiful
snow has full sway, enveloping the high
pines in a white mantle, rising as they do
to height of fifty or more feet, dotted
here and there by the green leaves of an
outstanding branch. 1t forms a picture
beautiful to look upon.
Snowshoeing is now at its best, and de-
spite the inclemeut weather the swish of
the slender carriages can be heard on
nearly all the adjoining hills as they
speed along at a rate OF forty or more
miles an hour.

This is the end of one of the most bitterly

Northern Idabo.
After being out fifteen hours the jury

ing.
In neighborhood row near Lewiston,
Idaho, May 10, last, as an outcome of a
feud of long standing. John Siers, known
as "Buena," on account of his valor at the
battle of Buena Vista, and NJ. F. Ward,
one of his assailants, were killed, and Mrs.
Goddard, who was alleged to have killed
Siers, was wounded.
The tragedy had few parallels in the an
nails of crime in the State of Idaho. The
firm of Schissler & Siers was one of the
ealthiest in North Idaho ten years ago.
Six years ago Schissler was killed by
fall from his horse.
The firms property was disposed of and
farm at Waha, about fifteen miles from
Lewiston, was sold to NJ. F. Ward, Mrs.
Goddard 8 son-in-law, for $40, 900.
The money was to have been paid to
Siers, but was never paid.
Mrs. Goddard's brother, named Matt,
had been living on the place with h er.
Trouble arose between him and his sister
and he was put out of the house and
forced to take quarters in barn.
Siers wished to call on his friend, and
with three friends he drove to the farm.
Anticipating trouble, he took a Win
chester rifle and a revolver. He leaned
his rifle on the fence, and then started for
the door.
Ward, who was in ambush, opened fire
on him with revolver.
Siers drew his revolver, and as be was
trying to locate his assailant Mrs. Goo-
dard, it was alleged, came up behind and
fired two shots with revolver into Siers'
back.
AS the dying man sank to the ground,
Ward rushed up and clubbed him on the
| head with his revolver.
The verdict is great surprise to every
one.

FIRE AND LAVA,
Kilauea Volcano on the Island of
Hawaii Is Again in
Eruption.
A Molten Lake Formed by the Volume
Spewed by the Monster
Crater.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, Jan. 9.-The
steamer Kinau from Hawaii brought well
come news to tourists, hotel,keepers and
people generally that Kilauea Volcano
was once more in state of eruption.
The renewed activity in the pit was first
observed from the Volcano House on Fri
day, January 3, and at few minutes be-
fore midnight the molten lava burst forth
and by morning a burning lake about 200
feet deep had been formed
In extent the pool OF fire was about 200
feet wide and 25O long. Since Friday the
lake has been steadily and slowly rising,
and as it does so it spreads over larger
surface. At last accounts it was about 450
feet below the floor of the main crater, the
nearest point from which it can be seen by
visitors.
The illumination caused by the sudden
eruption was plainly visible at Hilo. thlr-
ty-one miles distant.
Peter Lee, the resident manager of the
Volcano Hotel and the oldest resident of
the vicinity of the volcano, says that on
the night of January 3, at IL: 80 o'clock,
faint reddish glare appeared above the
crater at KiIauea.
The glow became brighter and brighter
| until the clouds were suffused with a bril-
liant red and this fiery banner hunt out in
the skies announced to the inhabitants of
Hawaii for many miles around that Pele
had returned TO resume her reign.
trip of iEspe ction by Mr. Lee on the
morning and afternoon of the 4th con-
firmed the indication of the previous
night. A lake of molten lava, say $50 or
800 feet in diameter. was in active ferment.
Considering the fact that this crater has
for some time appeared practically bot
tomless, the rise of lava in so short a. time
10 within 400 feet of the floor of the main
crater seems perfectly marvellous.

Father and Mother Being Tried for the
Murder of Their Child.
COLVILLE, WASH, Jan. 15.-The trial
OF AdoIph Niese and wife for the alleged
murder of their little son by beating him
to death provoked sensational questions
and answers in court.
The Prosecuting Attorney asked the
male defendant if he had not struck his
first wife while living at Ottumwa, Iowa,
with buckle or a strap, knocking her
senseless, and then setting fire to the
house. burning his wife and infant.
Nlese dramatically called upon God to
witness that he was telling the truth
when he said he in no way caused the
death of his first wife. 1t appears that the
woman who is now his wife, and who is
also on trial, is the sister OF his dead wife.
The younger son of Niese testified that
his father and mother were unkind to all
the children.
The little girl of Niese testified that
the brother who had just testified was in
corrlslble and could not be relied upon to
tell the truth.
Niese said the boy tried to swear his life
away during the trial at Ottumwa, Iowa,
being bribed with 15 cents worth OF candy
by the enemies of Niese.

through the managers room to the street.
The feeling in the social circles in which
the Harrisons move is that the wedding of
the ex-Presdent and Mrs. Dimmick will
take place at no distant day. 1t Is be-
lieved that all the family are now recon
ciled. When Secretary Tibbetts was ques-
toned about the matter he answered,
General Harrison never does anything in
a, clanestine way" which was interpreted
to mean that a formal announceme will
be made of the marriage.
