THANKsGTYING DIV.

Thursday, November p, So Designated
BY President Mckinley.
The president has issued the follow
ing Thanksgiving proclamation:
TThe approaching November brings
to mind the customs Of our ancestors,
haIlowed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions Of giving thanks
to Almighty God for all the blessings
He has vouchsafed to Us during the
past year.
Stew years in our history have af-
forded such cause for thanksgiving as
this. We have been blessed by abund-
ant harTests, our trade and our com
merce have been wonderfully increased,
our public credit has been improved
and strengthened, all sections Of the
common country have been brought
together and knitted into closer bonds
Of national purpose and unity.
aThe skies have been for a time
dsrkened by the clouds Of war, but as
We were compelled to take up the
sword in the cause Of humanity, we are
permitted to rejoice that the conflict
has been of brief duration and the
losses we have had to mourn, though
grievous and important, have been so
few, considering the great results ac-
eomplished, as to inspire US with graf
itude and praise to the LORD Of Hosts.
We may laud and magnify His holy
name that the cessation Of hOstilities
came so soon as to spare both sides
the countless sorrows and disaster
that attend prOtracted war.
Il do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, as we'll those at home as those
who may be at sea or sOjOurning in
foreign lands, TO set apart and observe
Thursday, the oath day Of November,
as a day of national Thanksgiving, to
come together in their several places
Of worship for a service of praise and
thanks TO the Almigh ty God for all the
blessings Of the year; for the mildness
Of the seasons and the fruitfuIness Of
the soil, for the continued prosperity
Of the people, for the devotion and
valor of our cOuntrymen, for the glory
Of our victory and the hope Of a right
eOus peace and to pray that the Divine
guidance which has brought Us here
tofOre to safety and honor may be
graciOusly continued in the years to
come. WILLIAM MCKINLEY"

The Topeka Capital is responsible
for the following good story on Bailie
Waggener, general attorney for the
Missouri Pacific, and Captain Joe
Waters:
.Some old fellow living In the south
west part of the state got into a scrape
with a railroad conductor on account
Of the irregulsrity Of his ticket. He
lost a portion Of his whiskers and was
elected from the train.
"He was so aggrieved over the affair
that he engaged Waters as his attorney
to bring suit against the road. Waters
made up his suit and presented it to
Waggener, the attorney for the Mis-
souri, Pacific. Waggener declared
that he had never heard Of the case
and knew nothing about the affair
But Waters pressed him so closely that
a compromise of 500 was finally
agreed upon aud paid.
waters then wrote TO his client, en-
closing half Of the sum received, say
ing he had settled with the Missouri
Pacific. His client wrote back that
was satisfied with the amount receiEed
but it wasn't the Missouri Pacific be
was riding on, but a branch Of the
Southern Kansas.
GWaters said the Missouri Pacific
was guilty on general principles, and
never returned the 500"

Colby Nan B1ogrs Ont Gas IN . Omaha HotsI
and Bimseif and wife DIE From Elects.
A press dispatch from Omaha says:
"The bodies Of @. A. Carlson and wife
Of Colby, Kan, we're found IN their
room in the Vendoms hotel Monday
night. The gas was turned on. J. A.
Hattery, proprietor Of the hotel, said
that be was at the desk Sunday night
when Carlson returned. It was evident
to the proprietor that Carlson was in
toxicated- A few words were exchanged
and Carlson then went 70 his room. A
little later the proprietor went to No.
9. Finding the door locked and every
thing quiet he made no further inves-
tigation.
Tuesday morning the chamber
maids did not enter the room, thinking
that the guests did not wish to be dis
turbed. In the afternoon a new set Of
ehambermaids went on duty and did
not enter the room, because they be-
lieved that it had already been attend
ed to. It is probable Carlson had tur-
ned on the gas soon after entering the
room and had forgotten to light it.
When he Undressed he probably tried
to walk to the bed, but was overcome
by the gas before he could do so. Mr..
and Mrs. Carlson registered Sunday
morning. Mrs. Carlson retired early
and was doubtless asleep when Mr..
Carlson came into the room"

Kansas Fruit Averages,

At the annual meeting of the State
Horticultural society at Topeka last
Thursday W. II. Barnes, secretary Of
society, submitted report, based on
reports from ninety-four counties,
which, summarized, show the follow
ing average yields Of fruits and veget
ables:
Apples 40 per cent, pears so, peaches
Y, plums 81, cherries 81, mulberries
80, blackberries TIL, grapes 1871, rasp'
berries SO, strawberries Is, currants
Il, nuts SO, Irish potatoes Att, sweet
potatoes est, vegetables 63i.
j. V. Randolph Of Emporia, criti'
cised the report, saying that it overes'
timated the crop. He said too many
boom figures have been given out from
Kansas lately, and it ought to be
stopped.
Thursday the subjects of small
fruits, vineyards and forestry were
discussed. A paper by George NJ
Munger Of Greenwood county, on for
estry was read by the secretary, Mr.
Munger being in Chicago. Mr.. Nun
ger connected horticulture with for
estry by asserting that fruit trees In
Kansas suffer most from lack of pro-
lection against wind. Surround

"with wide belts of forest trees, belts
sufficiently wide to call into effect

Prof. Bear Attacked.

Prof. Fl. f. M. Bear, superintendent
OF the Wellington city schools, who was
a candidate for the presidency of
the State Teachers association,
10 sessiOn'at Topeka last week, was
sayagely attacked by the Topeka
Journal Thursday and charged with
lending himself as tool of the Amer
lean Book company in a scheme to
overthrow the present text book law.
The article in the Journal, which
was no doubt responsible for Prof.
Bears defeat, is as follows:
II. F. M. Bear, superintendent of
the schools Of Wellington, is a candi.
date for president of the State Teach.
ers' association, aud in the effort to
elevate him to that Office, it is said, is
concealed plan to deliver the associ-
alton into the hands of the American
Book company.
In exchange for the support which
the agencies of the trust are giving
Mr., Bear, he has promised to arrange
the program for next years meeting
so as to give the corporations the
opportunity of exposing" and criti
Ching the new school text book which
has been adopted Hereunder.
Mr.. Bear has also promised to ap'
point members of the committee on
resolutions for the meeting Of 1893
which will prepare series of decla'
rations which the association will be
expected to adopt and upon which the
political lobbyists may appear before
the legislature of 1899 and seek the
overthrow Of the existing law.
Then again, Mr.. Bear is Democrat
"a fusionist-and he hopes to become
president of the association, and with
tine influence so secured, make an
effort to down Superintendent Stry.
ker and secure for himself the nomin.
alton, as Democrat, for the position
on the next state ticket.
These three plans are not idle Cos
sip being used against Mr.. Bears
candidacy. He openly admitted
practically volunteering the informa'
tion, to man whose support he
sought.
The ambition of the American
Book company and similar corpora
tions is to SECURE the ultimate de-
struction Of the text book law which
has SO ruthlessly swept their bushes,
