Thanksgiving day was properly
observed here by a few who sat
down to the table with turkeys;
but the wild duck WAS more gen
orally used in celebrating the day.
who eat turkey were thank
full that they did not have to eat
duck, and those who had duck for
dinner felt exceedingly CRATE
full because they we're able
to afford it. Al things con
sidered the people of Terrebonne
have a great many things to be
thankful for. While times have
been somewhat trying and money
somewhat scarce, there are other
things far more important than
money that the people of Terre'
bonneshave been blessed with and
among these blessings can be
mentioned the peace and health
OF The community.

CANDIDATES FOR LANSING.
CoIored Wou1dbe Murderers of W. S.
Grover Arrested.

Two of the murderOus gang who at
tackled w. S. Grover and cut him Sun
day afternoon have been arrested and
turned over to the state. Detective
Zeller, armed with a warrant went to
the home of VIII Brown about supper
time yesterday After a short time
Brown came home by a back street
and climbed over the back fence. He
went into the house and the detective
followed.
Brown tried to run out of the front
door of the house, but it was locked
and the detective cornered him Eel
Ter read the warrant to him and pre-
pared to take him to. prison. Brown
reached into a trunk which was near
by and drew a large knife.
You make a pass at me, and I'll
shoot you dead" said ZeIler. as ne
pulled down his revolver on Brown.
Brown threw down the knife and
went along with the detective This
morning Justice Furry fixed the bond
a $500 and set the preliminary hear
ing of the case for Tuesday, July 81
VIII Davis, another of the gang, was
also arrested last evening by Patrolman
Ewing, and this morning his trial was
set for the same time as Browns. The
charge against each is assault with a
deadly weapon with intent to kill"
W. S. Grover, the man whom the col
Ored men cut, was in court this morn
ing to swear to the complaint. He is
still weak and nervous.

FOSTER SEES M'KINLEY.
The Ex-Secretary Calls on the Candi-
date and Dimes With Him.

Canton. O., July 14-Charles Foster
of Fostoria, formerly governor of Ohio,
and secretary of the treasury in Harri
sons cabinet, was one of the callers at
the Mckinley home yesterday and he
remained over night.
He is sanguine over the campaign
prospects. He expects much of the
active work of the opposition to be
done in Chicago, but says the official
headquarters will be in New York.
The opposition, he says, will force the
fighting in the west.
Last evening Gov. and Mrs. Mckinley
and Mr. Foster were entertained at
dinner by George B. Erase. editor of
the Repository a paper established here
in 1915 by John Saxton. Mrs. McKin-
Iey's grandfather.
The party also included ex-State Lii
brarian Joseph P. Smith and wife of
UJrbana, and Gov. McF<inley's private
secretary, James Boyle and wife.
Many of the letters coming to Nc
KinIey now contain words of warm in
dorsement of his utterances Saturday
evening. a large number of these are
from men who formerly affiliated with
the Democratic party.
Among the callers today were: c. E
Markham, who rode a bicycle from
Fredonia, N. Y, and viii continue on
the vehicle to Nashville.

New York. July 14-The Democratic
gold standard leaders have not yet de-
cided on the date and place of the con-
ference at which it is expected a mani
festo will be issued defining their at
titude toward. the national ticket nomi-
mated at Chicago. William c. Whitney
is still at his country home on Long
Island and Senator Hill is at Albany,
where he publicly declared he would
not preside, as reported, at the Demo-
cratic notification meeting to be held
here.
One Of the Tammany leaders said the
conference would probably be held at
Long Branch, on Wednesday and that
1t would be attended by Democratic
leaders from New York and several
other states. Another Tammanyite
said the understanding was that the

states to a general conference.
According to a statement made by a
friend of Mr. Whitney, the conference
of the New York leaders is likely to re-
suit in a decision to ignore the national

to elect congressman opposed to free
silver coinage and to join in an effort
to carry New York for the Democratic
state ticket. By refusing to bolt and
put up a third ticket, it is said the
state organization can maintain its
regularity.
Calvin S. Brice senator from Ohio,
was seen and asked whether he
would repudiate the Chicago ticket and

WILL VOTE FOR GOLD.
Resigns and VIII Vote With Re
publicans.

Philadelphia, July 14.-Samue1 Dick
son of this city. who was selected at
the Democratic state convention as a
presidential elector, has sent a letter to
State Chairman Wright resigning the
office In his letter he says in part:
1T is impossible for those who ap-
proved what was said and done at AL
lentown to accept the platform or the
candidates at Chicago.
1T is impossible for any Democrat
who believes in the principles and ira
ditiOns of his party to support a pro-
posal to make inconvertible silver dol
lars a legal tender for more than they
are really worth.
Such being the condition of affairs,
and as the Republican party now gives
a reasonable assurance of maintaining
the gold standard, it seems to me that
all sound Democrats should, in this
campaign, give it their support unless
Democratic candidates should here
after be nominated upon a satisfactory
platform

TOM REED SILENT.
Lets His Secretary Do the Talking
About the Chicago Convention.

Boston, July 1.-THE Journal says
today that Speaker Thomas B. Reed.
who is at Old Orchard, Me, declined
to be interviewed on the work of the
Chicago convention, but added that he
was practically of the opinion of Amos
l. Allen, his private secretary.
The latter then said: Il do not think
Sewan will be able to carry his own
city, much less the state. Apparently
the only reason the Democrats nomi-
mated Sewau was this: He is the only
wealthy Democrat in the east who ia
vOrs the free coinage of silver and they
think that by his nomination they will
be able to draw eastern votes.
1T is my opinion the nomination Of
SewalI will more than likely result in
breaking up the organization of the
Democratic party in Maine. Any at
tempt to force Democratic voters in
Maine to support silver will certainly
be disastrous to the party of this

TROUBLE IN c. e. TICKETS.

not bear agreed conditions and they do
not make provision for the return limit

Chairman Caldwell has written to
the officials of the Joint Traffic asso-

done the purchasers will find them
selves compelled to pay for whatever

ENGLISH ARE DISGUISED.
Are Out of Sorts Because of Feeble
ness Displayed by the Government

London, July 1.-THE political stu
alton has been only partially relieved
by the yielding of Gerald Balfour, chief
secretary for ireland. to the pressure
directed by T. W. Russell. member of
parliament for the south division of
Tyrone, and Joseph Chamberlain, colo
NAL secretary, for modification of the
amendments to the Irish land bill
There is a continuance today of the
demands of Mr. Russell and others for
further modification of the measure,
while the press and people generally
are giving expression to sentiments of
extreme disgust at the feebleness dis
rlaved bv the government. Many of
the conservatives admit that if it were
not for the hopeless differences that
exist between the liberals and radicals,
the government would be in a serious
plight.
