Speaking Of Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving, 1898, ranks in import
ance with that OF 1866. AS then, the
country has gone through the war, and
upon our banners is inscribed Victory.
1t is, therefore, season Of greater inter-
est. In honor of the occasion, The Bos-
ton Herald, with characteristic enter
prise, will give it special attention, de-
voting pages to the time-honored festival
in the issue of Nov. 20. Every New
Highlander will want this issue, and we
are sure that our readers will find the
Boston Herald of Sunday, Nov. 20, one
to their liking. 1t is not out of place to
suggest that an order with your news
dealer is the only sure way of securing a
copy. The demand for the Boston Her
aid is very great.

Death Of Mr.. Burroughs.

has passed away. Dan c. Burroughs,
after lingering illness, died last Thurs

time, but gained in strength gradually,

at work nearly all the time, but for the
past three months he has been failing
fast. He kept up as long as his strength
would permit.
He was son of the late Wesley Bur-
roughs of Kirby, and brother Of the late
Henry Burroughs OF this place. He was
born in December, 1912. He was
member Of Company A, 18th Vermont
Volunteers and served his country during

of the war he has lived in Kirby, Pas
sumpsic and Concord and leaves many
friends in each of these places to mourn
his loss, as he was a kind and industri-
Gus citizen. He was closely identified
with the interests of the Universalist
church of this place and was constant
attendant at the meetings when his
health permitted. He leaves wife and
two children, Mrs. William L. Reed of
this place and Wesley Burroughs OF Mel
rose, Mass, and one sister, Mrs. l. P.
Lewis of Concord, besides a large circle
of relatives and friends. Funeral services

for $50 the judgment of $3.50, held by
Hattie Miller against John Jurgenson.
THAT the county Of Ramsey has
never incurred one cent of expense in
maintaining the child of Jurgenson, but
that it has been and is now supported
wholly by It's mother, Hattie Miller
Judgment was obtained without any
assistance from Ramsey county, except
the attendance of witnesses, and in
suite of the opposition of the clerk OF
the municipal court and the county at
torney appearing for him against sad
Hattie Miller, who has borne all the
expense Of obtaining the Judgment.
"rhe county of Ramsey, which you
are supposed to represent, has not the
slightest interest in this Judgment, but
that it has been given for the benefit
and protection Of the mother, and en-
tered in her favor and not in favor of
the county, and under the circum-
stances you have no legal right to in
terfere with 1t.
"The statute, if 1t Is valid, gives your
board authority to make such COM
promises and arrangements with Jur-
genson relative to the support of such
child as you deem equitable and just.
"Your attention is respectfully call
ed to the fact that the support OF the
child is already we'll provided Tor ana
it is wholly unnecessary for you to
make any arrangements about it.
Should you conclude that this sta
tute authorizes you to divest the urde"-
signed of her judgment Of $3.50 for the
paltry sum Of $50, your manhood, your
sense of justice and fairness is chal-
lenged to permit her to show, If sic can,
and she states in the utmost good faith
that she can show by competent testi-
mony to your satisfaction, that said
Jurgenson has ample means at his COM
mend to pay said judgment in full.
SHOULD you again attempt to eXtln-
guish this judgment Gin her favor and
not in yours, she demands reasonable
notice Of the time and place when you
will make the attempt, and suggests TO
you the grave improperly Of taking
any action whatever on anything less
than such duly verified petition as is
required by the district court by sect On
2, 046, General Statutes, 1894"
The petition will come up before the
board of county commissioners at its
meeting Monday morning. In the
meantime Jurgenson is in the county
Jail and has been there since July .,
on which date he surrendered himself
to the sheriff.

How John A. Winter Farcd at Judge
Gallick's Hand.

John A. Winter, whose attempt to admins
ter beating to his wife caused her so much
alarm that she turned in no less than five
alarms of fire the other day, was fore Judge
Gallick, in the probate court yesterday, upon
information of insanity.
Mr.. Winters mind Is as clear as bright
May morning, according to the testimony
of medical gentleman who examined him.
He has been in durance for few days hav-
ing had his case in the municipal court C n
tinued. 1t was while he was in the county
Jail that the charge of insanity was flei
and he was held before Capt Gallick.
The pro tempore judge of the probate court
is a great admirer of the educational syst I'm
of the country; he believes that wto has
received the benefit of a lleg ate ecucation
and then permits himself to act like unatic
is doing that which is a reflection on educa-
ton in general AID he was deeply agg.i we'd
because of the predicament of Mr.. Winter.
While discharging the culprit who had tried
to go off his head Judge Gallick was moved
to remark, from the bench:
at makes sad that man having a
fine education such you have, who can
not only read and write, but who can ngure
and do episodal fractions, should so FAR for
get yourself and your condition as to be oren
to the charge of insanity. Free education is
one of the great institutions of tn country
and by your act of being brought in here
charged with insanity you have shown that
your education was not worth1ly bestowed
hope that as you go forth from here you
and hereafter behave yourself like wise man
and a good citizen of this city and state and
nation, as aforesaid.
At the c,oze of the remarks Of the Judge,
which seemed to stir the culprit TO ribald
mirth rather than to make him think of the
60 in for fractions, he was taken back to
the county 1ail.

Hattie Miller Demands n Hearing
From the County Board

Mayor Kiefer as chairman of the
board of county commissioners, was
served yesterday with a formal notice
for hearing in the case of Hattie
Miller, who secured Judgment against
John Jurgenson for $3.50 in the district
court.
Jurgenson, rather than pay the judg-
ment, voluntarily went to the county
Jail and was locked up, the order Of
the court directing that if default was
made In the payment he was to be COM
mitted to Jail. The county board, at
all executive session, passed a resolu-
ton settling the judgment for $50, and
after friends of Jurenson had paid this
amount into the county treasury the
commissioners passed an order direct
ing the release of Jurgenson.
D. w. Doty, acting as attorney for
Miss Miller, secured the issuance of a
writ of certiorari, and the court on
the hearing decided that the board was
at fault in making the compromise
without consulting or hearing Miss Mil
ler's statements.

fer, the attorney says:
