appointing November 20 as n Day of
Thanks giving for Dangers Averted and
blessings Fouchssfed, and Prayer for
Cont 1ued Guidance and Blessing.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-By the president OF

The people Of the United States should
never be unmindful of the gratitude they owe
the God OF nations for his watchfuI care which
mas shleldea them from dire disaster and
pointed out TO them the way OF peace and hap
plnesS. Nor should they ever refuse to ac-
knowledge with ~cOntrite hearts their proneness
TO turn away from Gods teachings and to fol-
low with sinful pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may be quick
ened, it is fitting that on a day. especially ap-
pointed. we should join together in approach
ing the throne OF grace with praise and sup
plicatiou.
Therefore I, Grover Cleveland, president of
the United States, do hereby designate and set
apart Thursday, the twenty-sixth day of the
present month of November, to be kept and
observed as a day OF thanksgiving aud prayer
throughout our land.
On thai day let all the people forego their
USUAL Work and occupation and aSSemble in
their accustomed places of worship. Let
theIn with one accord render thanks to the
Ruler OF the Universe for our preservation as
d nation and our deliverance from threatened
danger; fer the peace that has dwelt within
our boundaries: for our defense against dis
ease and pestilence during the year that has
passed; for the plenteOus rewards that have
followed the labOrS of our husbandaen. and
for al the other blessings that have been
vouchsafed TO US.
And let US. through the mediation Of Him
who has taught US TO pray, implore the for
glvenesS Of our sins AMI a continual, on OF
heavenly favor.
Let us not forget, on this day Of Thanksgiving,
this poor ard needy; but, by deeds of charity.
let our offerings of praise be made more ac-
ceptable in the sight OF the Lord.
Witness my hand and the seal OF the United
States, which l have caused to be hcreunto az
fixed.

Care OF Apples in Winter.

a house for storing apples should be
made as nearly alright as possible.
Set the stills in mortar, and do it well.
Let the floor be double, with sheathing
paper between the two thicknesses Of
boards. Double board the outside, and
use paper between. Cell up on the in
side, filling it between with sawdust.
Do not put in any windows, unless they
are covered with tight shutters. Should
the weather at any time be warm open
the doors and windows at night, and
close tightly in the morning. The main
secret of keeping apples is an even tenn
p%erature. as near the freezing point as
possible, not below it; keep them dry.
and do not permit any circulation of

Our O~ccupations.

Every rightful occupation has its
just compensation to the industrious
worker in the shape of ~well-earned
money; it has also it's own peculiar
service of welfare to the community;
but beyond both these it eXerts a
reactive influence for good upon the
life and character of every faithful
toiler. 1t has the power of developing
every faculty of the mind. every fine
moral quality. Energy, courage, forti-
tude, patience, perseverance, calm
ness. disinterestedness, magnanimity,
fidelity, may all be unfolded, expanded
and strengthened through our daily
ordinary labor.-N. Y. Ledger.

Growing of Small Fruit.

AIDES the strides in small fruit growing
seem wonderful as well as phenomenal
in many ways. Small fruits have edded
millions to the income OF tillers of the

supplied by natures bounties until
within the past few years. The fringe

Home and Foreign Markets,

The marketing of dairy produce is a
factor that should engage the earnest
attention of every farmer. We near
a great deal about catching the foreign
market, but u home market $ of far
greater Importance. With a population
constantly increasing, under normal
conditions the denand for dairy prod
acts will also increase. There is a
danger that we will look at the foreign
market so much that we will forget
we have a home market Whether the
market be foreign or home, the butter
or cheese must be made knowing to
which it is going, for the same kind of

Creamery men might well study the
question of disposing of their by-prod-
ucts in the most profitable way. None
entirely, but that is not exactly the
question. The question rather is, are
they being made the most of? Of course,
what constitutes making the most of
them will depend upon the circum-
stances and surroundings of a particu-
lar creamery. There are a considera-
BILE number of creameries in the coun.
try, for example, that are near enough
to cities and large towns to enable them
to find a profitable market there for

In addition to these, the states of Kentucky,
North Carolina and Wyoming are in doubt,
with the chances about even in the three
states, although the republicans in Kentucky
claim that the state will give its electoral
vote to Mckinley by Il majority Of not less
than 5000.
1t is proper to give the basis OF the claims in
the disputed states. Advices late this evening
from California, from the members of national
in San Francisco, place the major
ity in that state at 5000. This is confirmed by
press reports.
kilograms from Indiana, from the chairman
of the state republican central committee and
the member of the national committee, show
that the state has given not less than 25,0JG
and probably over 3l,0D for Mckinley, and
that the republicans have elected all the mem
bers OF congress and carried the legislature by
a majority of 40 on joint ballot.
kilograms from North and South Dakota,
which have been confirmed by the press re-
ports received, place the majority in these
states at u little more than 5000 in North Da-
kota and about 500 in South Dakota. In
North Dakota We have elected the entire
state ticket and carried the legislature. In
South Dakota the legislature is in doubt
There is no possible foundation for the report
being circulated that Mr.. Bryan has carried
any OF tie states placed in the sure column for

The yacht race at White Bear lake
yesterday afternoon was one of the
prettiest of the season. The day was
warm, with fair southwest wind. The
course was from Dellwood to Wild
wood, around center, Delwood to
Ramaley's, and around center to Del
wood, where the race ended at about
$50
The start and the racing, as far as
Wildwood buoy, about two-thirds of
the nine-mile course, delighted the
hearts of the veterans of the sport,
and charmed even ignorant spectators.
The three classes of boats, the cats
and the first and second-ciass sloops,
kept almost even. From Wildwood the
boats began to separate. Milton
Griggs' Alfrida again led the first class
as she has won almost every race this
season. 1t is rumored that she is to
enter a race at Minnetonka in the near
future, as the champion of White
Bear. The Alerta, Mr.. A. M. brakes
boat, carrying the smallest sail in the
race. led the cats, passing the Sallie B.
between the center and Wildwood, in
spite of the handicap of twenty-five
seconds, owing to her not getting over
the line in the start. The wind, while
favorable, was changeable, and several
gusts struck the boats on their home
award course. A whirlwind striking the
EtfHda on the bow, hit the second
sloob. the Corona, so quickly and d.
rectly thct she could not slacken her
sail, and caused her to careen on her
beam end, taking in some water. Her

vented her .capsizfhg or shipping water
