Thanksgiving Proclamation.

/ BY the president Of the United States:
The people of the United States
/ should never be unmihdtul OF the graft
4 tudp thew owe the God of flatlOus, tor
his watchiul care which has shielded
them from disaster and pointed out to
them the way Of peace and happiness.
Nor should they ever refuse to aCknoW-
ledge with contrite hearts our proneness
10 turn away from God s teachings and
TO follow with sinful pride after their
own devices. To the end that these
thoughts may be quickened it is fitting
that on day especially appointed we
should join together in approaching the
throne of grace with praise and suppli-
cation.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do here
by designate and set apart Thursday,
the tWentY-siXth dav of the present
month of November, to be kept and OBJ
served as a day Of Thanksgiving and
PRAYER throughout orr land.
ION that day let all our people fOregO
their usual work and occupation and
assemble In their accustomed places of
worship, let them with one accord rem
der thanks to the Ruler of the universe
for our preservation as nation and cur
delIverance from every threatened dan
ger; Tor the peace that mas dWtll III our
boundaries; for our de 'ense against dis
ease and pestiIence during the year that
has passed; for the plenteous rewards
that have followed the labors Of our hus
baniry; and for all the other blessings
that have been voUchsafed to us.
And let Us through the meditation Of
him who has taught us to pray, implOre
the forgiveness Of our sins and contln-
uatiou of heavenly favor.
Let us not forget on this day Of
Thanksgiving the needy, and by deeds
of charity let our offerings of praise be
made more acceptable in the name of
him.
Witness my hand and seal of the
United States which l have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
fourth day Of November in the year of

and Ninety Six and of the independ-
cnce of the United States of America,

All is Now Over.

There is no doubt but what the cleo
ton of Tuesday decided as important
issues as were ever brought before the
American people. In the minds of
every thinking person the question has
not been, Do We want Mckinley or
Bryan, from a personal standpoint, but
it has been, 10 we want the principles
of Mckinley or the principles of Bryan?
The money question has not held the
mind entirely-opposition to the power
Of the Supreme Court, the question OF
the powers of the chief executive, what
would happen and what position the
country would be in if the views of the
Democratic platform were endorsed
the selection Of the man who stood for
them, and who also advocates the OPP
position of laborers to capital-all these
points were weighed carefully, as were
the successes financially and politically
Of the Republican party for the past
thirty years, and the excellent and
brilliant record of Maj. Mckinley, the
Republican candidate. Who is there,
no matter to what party belonging, who
has not admired Maj. Mckinley in this
campaign, as well as in many others?
The throngs of visitors to the home of
a candidate, from all over the broad
land is something new for history, and
the speeches delivered by Mr.. Nc
kinley to these people are also
to be matters Of history. They have
stood the test Of criticism well, in every
one the honor, honesty and patriotism
Of the man himself has appealed to
those to whom he spoke, asking them
to cast their ballots for the party which
they honestly considered for their own
lnterest-the Republican party under
whose reign the greatest prosperity
ever experienced in our broad land
was attained.

The Gold Democrats no doubt came
to the front in good shape, but the solid
republican vote was what did it.
The result of this election will make
4 fitting record, we venture to say, to
grace the pages of the last chapter in
the 10Th century history.
When the neighbors and friends of
candidate refuse to endorse him, is
there any reason why strangers should
elect him? The result Of Tuesday
promptly answers, NO"
Wisconsin mas made a fine record,
giving Mckinley the largest vote in pro-
portion to Its population # any state in
the union. Only one county, Ozaukce,
giving Bryan POO majority.
r. " LaFollette, the most earnest
worker and closest personal friend of
Mckinley in Wisconsin, deserves about

labors in the past campaign.

by Dr.. Pierce may not be able to bring
back youth when it has flown, but it

bring happiness, and so the draught is
as magical in its effect as the fountain

Pixies on Patents.
How to get $500 and Perhaps
Make a Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce people to
keep track of their bright ideas we offer a
prize of one hundred dollars to be paid on
the first of every month to the person who
submits to US the most merltorious invention
during the preceding month. We will also
advertise the Invention free of charge in the
National Recorder,a weekly newspaper pub
lished in Washington, D. c., which has an
extensive circulation throughout the United
States ana is devoted to the interests of in,
ventors
NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.
The idea Of being able to invent something
trikes most people as being very difficult ;
this deluson the Company wishes to dispel.
1t is the simple things and small inventions
that make the greatest amount of money and
the complex ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or another
conceiyes an Flea, which, if patented, would
probably be worth to HIM fortune. Untor.
tunately such ideas are usually dismissed
without thought. The simple invention like
the car window which could be easily slid up
and down without breaking the passengers
back, the sauce pan, the collar button, the
nut lock, the bottle stopper, the snow shove
are things that almost everyone sees some
way of improving upon, and it is these kind
of inventions that bring the greatest returns
to the author.
The prize we offer at the end ofeach month
will be paid, whether the application has
been acted upon by the Patent Office or note
Every competitor must apply fora patent or
his invention through us, and whether he sc
cures the prize or not, the inventor wi II haV

How Bismarck Got There.

Bismarck has had some odd expert
ences in his varied life, but the fol-
lowing perhaps was the queerest:
He had been invited to a court din
ner by the car at the Imperial Sum-
mer palace. He missed the train
from St. Petersburg, and finding
that he could not reach the palace in
time, and that the delay in heating
up a locomotive would be very great,
he jumped on handcar. The sta
ton master and a couple Of work
men assisted the prince to work the
engine, he taking turns with tbs
rest of them. He arrived safely il
time for the dinner, and Bismarck
expressed his thanks to the men with
80 1ubles, while to the station master
he sent 1000 fine cigars.

WHAT THE BIRDS EAT.
Professor Washburn Divides the Feathered
Tribes Into Three Glasses.


Tribes Into Three Glasses.
Professor E. L. Washburn Of the
State Agricultural college read pa
per before the State Horticultural So
ciety on Birds and the Horticultur-
ist," in which, after showing the re-
suit Of many painstaking expert
ments in examining birds stomachs.
etc., he goes on to say:
Summarizing from what has been
done in this line elsewhere and from
personal observation, it would seem
that we might classify the commoner
birds in rather vaguely defined
groups, it is true, under four heads.
We would, however. reserve the
privilege of condemning any bird
when it became a veritable nuisance
to the fruit grower.
Under Birds Worthy of Our Pro-
lection" / would place the robin,
bluebird, all the sparrows except the
English SPARROW, bullocks, oriole,
all fycatchers and virees, swallows,
most of the woodpeckers, most of
the thrushes, the red tailed hawk,
the red shouldered hawk, Swainson's
hawk or buzzard, marsh hawk, spar
row hawk, long cared owl, short
cared owl, barred owl and the
screech owl.
Under Birds Probably Beneficial"
we might place the following: Black
birds, red shafted flicker, kingbird
found in parts of eastern Oregon),
cherry bird or cedar bird, the horned
lark, black winged yellowbird, or
wild canary" China pheasants,
quail, ruffled grouse or native pleas
ant" blue grouse and great horned
owl.
Under Doubtful" ! would place
the jays, crows, meadow lark, black
headed grosbeak, ground dove"
golden eagle, bald eagle.
And under Decidedly Bad" !
should unhesitatingly place the pur
pie innet, or cherry thief" the
woodpecker called the sap sucker"
Cooper's hawk and sharp Skinned
hawk.
considering the above arbitrary
divisions it should be borne in mind
that many birds placed in the Doubt
full" column may really deserve
a better place, though the examina
ton of stomachs have not extended
through long enough time to show
this. The eagles, for instance, in To-
caities where their natural food is
abundant are undoubtedly beneficial.
It is only when this supply is cut
off that they become injurious. The
China pheasant is reported to me by
some as consuming much. grain,
feeding on fruit and garden stuff
and even pulling up young pear and
peach pits just sprouted. Yet the
bulk of testimony seems to point to
the fact that all of our game birds
consume enough injurious insects to
more than balance their bad quail
ties. Gunners in this vicinity assure
me that they find many grasshoppers
in the crop and stomach of Denny
pheasants, and one man mentions
seeing these birds hunting field for
hoppers much after the manner Of
turkeys.
Of the English sparrow I can say
nothing good and trust it may never
get foothold in Portland or else
where in Oregon. 1t is noisy, pug
nacious and dirty, and though it has
q penchant for canker worms it
drives away other birds which prey
upon pests for which an English
sparrow has no liking.-Portland

advocating this plan, he says there would

serts, however, that in all sections the
Democrats would poll their full strength,
and that even in the south the defections
to the Populist ticket would come entirely
from the Republican party. His plan is
to divide the electors in the various states
according to the ratio of the Democratic
and Populist vote in those states.
The more conservative of the members
of the two extreme factions are beginning
to regard the situation as a grave one and
there have been many informing friends
during the day looking towards getting
together on some plan like that substituted
by Senator Butler. They fear that if this
cannot be done bolt is inevitable, what
ever the action of the convention, and this
they are exceedingly anxious to avoid.
They express confidence that they will be
able to reach this result. The two extreme
factions each assert however, that they
will never yield, and the situation is ad-

BUTLER FOR CHAIRMAN.
He Will Preside Temporarily at
the Populist Convention.
EUGENE V. DEBS CALLED UPON.

In Response to an Urgent Telegram He
Announces That He VIII Attend the
Convention Congressman Towne De-
clares Himself in Favor of Bryan.
ST. LOUIS, July 22.-The Populst ma
tional committee yesterday decided upon
Senator Marion Butler, Of North Caro-
lima, for temporary chairman. The Sc
lection was effected without much appar-
ent opposition, but there was an adverse
element present which would have mani
tested itself If the committee had not been
SO evidently favorable to Butler. 1t was
at first the plan Of the Bryan and Sewall
advocates to put up General Weaver for
the position, but they changed at the last
moment to General Fields, of Virginia,
who was on tho presidential ticket with
General Weaver four years ago They be-
lieved that the opposing faction would be
divided between Butler and Mr. Hines, of
Georgia. Mr.. Hines was, however, not
placed in nomination, leaving the straights
united upon Senator Butler General
Fields was placed in nomination, but
when it became apparent that Hines was
out of the race Fields friends withdrew
his name and allowed Butler to be chosen
by reclamation.
1t is apparent on the eve Of the conven-
ton that there will bo three factions: The
middle Of the road" element, headed by
