ALL TOLD TO GIVE THANKS.
Annual Proclamation IL Issued by the
President.


Washington. ID. c., Oct. 2S.-The
President, after the Cabinet meeting
to-day. issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
by the President of the United States.
\ Proclamation:
The approaching November brings
to mind the customs of our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted In our
most sacred traditions of giving thanks
TO Almighty God for all the blessings
lie has vouchsafed to us during the
past year.
Few years in our history have af-
forded such cause for nksgiving as
this. We have been blessed by abund-
ant harvests our trade and commerce
have been wonderfully increased, our
public credits been improved and
strengthened. all sections of our com
mon country have been brought to-
gether and knitted into closer bond of
national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for Il time
darkened by the cloud of war, but as
we We're compelled to take up the
sword in the cause Of humanity. we
are permitted to rejoice that the CON
fict has been OF brief duration. and
the losses we have had to mourn.
though grievous and important. have
been so few. considering the great re
suits accomplished us to inspire us
with gratitude and praise To the lord
of hosts. We may laud and magnify
his holy name that the cessation of
hostilities came so soon as 10 spare
both sides the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
Il do, therefore. invite all my fellow
citizens. as well those at home ms those
who may be at sea or sojournin. in
foreign lands, to set apart and observe
Thursday, the 2Ith day of November.
as a day of national thanksgiving. To
come together in their several places
of worship for II service of praise and
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings of the year: for the mildness
of the seasons and the fruitfulness OF
the soil. for the continued prosperity of
the people: for the devotion and valor
of our countrymcn, for the glory of
our victory and the hope Of n righteous
peace. and 10 pray that the divine
guidance which has brought hereto
fore to safety and honor. may he gra.
ciously continued In the years TO come.
I'm witness whereof.

The national debt Of Spain is equiv
alent to one-fifth of the whole wealth
of the kingdom, or ninety-four dollars
per capita. The annual interest is sis
dollars per capita. The debt of the
United States is less than one-one-
hundred-and-fiftieth of our wealth
and the interest is but fifty-three
cents to each Of our population. Our
total valuation in 1890 was one thou
sand and thirty-six dollars per capita;
theirs only four hundred and sixty
dollars. This means that the people
of Spain are taxed on their debt alone
nearly twelve times as high as We
with little more than two-fifths the
means to pay If we measure their
burden by their financial strength. It
is nearly thirty times as heavy as ours

A man of sound Judgment is not di-
verted from the truth by the strength
of immediate impression. He decides
with unbiased impartiality. neye.
suffering any passion to interfere With
the love of truth. He does not form

BIG CANNING FACTORY

Manhattan and Empo-ia and comes to

five months he has heard a great deal
o. this city and this section of Kansas
as well as Oklahoma
I cannot understand" he sad 10 a
representative OF the Eagle yesterday,
why there has not been canning fac
tory here years ago. There IS one Al
Emporia doing a big business and IN sew
eral places in eastern Kansas in much
smaller towns than Wichita and they
are all doing q big business So far ss
have seen OF this state thsre is no bet
ter city than Wichita, and no better
country in Kansas than in the inmedi-
ate vicinity OF Wichita / did not know
until a few weeks ago that there was
no such Industry here l see IN your
grocery stores ali the fruits and vegeta-
bles that are canned any where in the
west You certainly produce ouari;y
enough. Consumers use thess canned
goods. Your wholesale grocery houses
here ship out car loads OF canned goods
20 all these outlying towns. These groc-
erS have 60 ship the goods IN. for you
don't can them here That is simply sd-
ding an expense. Fruits and vegeta bles
could be canned here just as chespiy ss
anywhere.
II have come here TO look over me
ground Cor myself and some gentlemen
who are Interested with me tn the can
ming business. We have two or three
points in view end Wichita Is one az
them. After going over the matter Ne
may decide 70 let the other places 90
and concentrate our plans AZ this point
Wichita has greater possibilities than I
had thought. l believe you will have
1900 people here within the next eight
or nine years"
Mr.. Frehlin left on the north bound
Frisco yesterday and will probably return
next week TO go over the matter more
thoroughly with some OF the gentlemen
who are interested with him He said
that they would probably put in ten
thousand dollar plant which would be
located on the West Side.
