Live Stock Men Protest.

The live stock men of Colorado
do not want the public arid lands
ceded TO the states themselves.
They claim il would inlure the
grazing interests. The PROPOSE
ton of ceding the lands to the
states is now being considered by
congress, and one of the leading
live stock associations OF Colorado
has issued the following protest;
THAT it is hereby declared by
this association assembled in regu-
lar meeting that it would be great
hardship to the members OF this
association, and in their judgment
harmful to the general welfare of
the entire live stock industry OF
the state to have the lands com
monty called arid lands and now
owned by the United States, ceded
to the state of Colorado or the laws
of the United States changed or
amended relating in any way there
to. In our district all lands avail
able Tor the homes OF our people
that can be made to produce are
open to entry under the laws. The
grazing lands are available to all
alike, and under the present laws
the small stockman has the same
access to the public range as have
the large cattle companies, and it
is the opinion of this association
that as soon as these so-called arid
lands are offered for sale that it
will only be question of few
years until the small herds of cat
tie will disappear from our valleys
and the large herds of cattle syn
dicates will appear.
"We, therefore, protest against
the laws governing these public
ranges being amended and ask our
representatives in both houses Of
congress to use their best efforts
to defeat any measure contem-
plating any change in the present
laws; and, further,
"That copy of these resolutions
be furnished each of our senators
and congressman and publish in
the stock papers of this state, and

In Kansas the death warrant of

has declared that he will not sign
the death warrant. He is opposed

Thanksgiving.

Sunday, Nov. 20, 1898, was a lovely
November day, just such as Christians
are thankful for, and appreciate for
church going, and there was an unusually
large congregation at the Lutheran
church to hear Rev. s. s. Adams eer-
mon on "Some Reasons Why the People
of this Country Should Observe Thanks
giving Day" The speaker said this
sermon is not 10 take the place of the
annual Thanksgiving sermon, but rather
to prepare US to hear and appreciate it.
God has not dealt with any other nation
as He has with our country for the last
century, and especially for the last year.
Our crops of grain are abundant, and we
can feed the world. Our factories have
been running, giving work to many
thousands of laborers, with less strikes,
and better feeling between labor and
capital. There is now larger per cent.
of the people who own their homes
than ever before. Many clerks dress
better than their employers, and sleep
soundly, while the business man is
sleepless from care. The trouble with
labor is not so much from small wages.
as the way weges are spent. No epi-
demic or scourge of disease has come tc
this nation.
The war of this year is not for spoil Of
conquest, but is the most remarkably
unseifsh in the worlds history. 1t il
the strong espousing the cause of the
weak and oppressed. The results are
most marvellous. The first fought with
modern battleships, to espouse the cause
of humanity. Many things in the past
year indicate Gods favor to this nation
our marvellous victories on land and sea
our commercial increases, our exports
exceed our imports, and the gold balance
is in our favor; with all our vasi
purchases, our income is greater THAI
our outlay of money, and our gold sur
plus has largely increased.
London has long been the Commercial
center of the world, but now it is oul
own New York city. Our wealth and
power today are the envy of all Europe
and Asia. Has it not been the desigr
of God, that this nation should have
this power for the promotion of human
liberty?
When Dewey won that grand anG
wonderful victory at Manila, he opened
up a great and commercial highway
and way to advance the spread of the
gospel. This Christian nation can now
do nothing less than keep the heathen
Philippines under her protecting care
Christians should give thanks to God
for opening doors into wider fields oi
unselfish usefulness.
The sermon throughout was patriotic
as we'll as full of thankfulness.

A Card From Mr.. HeffeIfinger

DEAR SIR
You have no doubt heard of my
financial trouble, which was brought
about by me taking stock with nine
others in the organization of a lumber
and manufacturing company located in
western North Carolina in 1886.
Through the mismanagement of the
men that l had confidence in and who
were experienced lumbermen, the Com
pany went to smash in 1891, after had
invested in the concern all my available
means and was at that time joint in
dorser with the other stock holders for
the Company for over $1O0 900. My CO.
endoTsers are all iDsolvent and good
many of them in the cemetery, which
left me the entire liability Of the whole
debt to answer for, amounting now to
about $i20 600, out of which l never
handled one dollar or ever received one
penny for my own use, neither did l
have any say 80 in the management ot
the Company's affairs, but the suits
that have been brought against me on
account of said concern l could not
compromise, and 1 could not pay, and
the said suits threatened to follow me to
the cemetery, leaving lawsuit to my
family after my death. Consequently
was compelled to bring suit in the
United States Bankrupt Court for q
complete and final settlement of all oi
this endorsed paper.
Yours very truly,
J. E. HEFFELFINGER,
Manager Central Ohio.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have invented
a great many valuable things. They were the
frst to make brooms by machinery; the first
to put up seeds in little packages; the first to
manufacture cut nails.
Now they are out with method of curing
dyspepsia by resting the stomach. Their rem
edy is known as the Shaker Digestive Cordial.
1t supplies food in an artifcally digested form
| and at the same time aids the digestion of
| other foods in the stomach. In other words,
by the use of the Shaker Digestive Cordial, a
dyspeptic virtually gets along without the use
of his stomach until it is restored to its nat
ural strength and vigor. A single 10 cent
battle will oft-times give marked relief. Get a
bottle from your druggist and try it.
