THANKSGIVING DAY.

Tomorrow Is Thanksgiving day, d
day set apart by the President Of the
United States and the governor of the
State To be used as a day for the giving
OF thanks for the blessings and mercies
bestowed upon our people and Nation
by an all-wise and beneficent Creator,
Thanksgiving dayw To our mind
what memories the name conjures up
OF turkey, cranberries and pumpkin
pie, OF home reunions around the
ample board and.ihe good cheer at
tending a general day of grace. Mem
DRY carries US back to our days OF
childhood when Thanksgiving day was
OF all others our red letter day. How
we watched the festive gobbler for
days aud weeks beforehand ana
steadily calculated on his increase In
weight and fairness and then how
proudly he adorned the center Of the
table when the festive day arrived. But
aside from the idea of feastng comes
the more sober thought Of the object
OF the day. How BY our martyr Presi-
dent Abraham Lincoln, in 1863 10 was
set apart as day for general thanks
for blessings aud victories enjoyed and
for prayer for future favors. Thanks
giving day has always to the New Eng
lander been the day OF days, but never
until President Lincoln's proclamation
In 1868 has IL been recognized as a
National day Now, next 10 Christmas
and the Fourth of July it is our great
National and State holiday. Ills year
the Nation and the people have more
occasion for Thanksgiving than for
many years. We have ended a success
full war. the Nations arms have estab-
lis cd America foremost among the
nations of the earth. and while but a
few months ago we were in the midst
OF the conflict Of a great war and our
brave soldiers and sailors were dying
for our country. now we are at peace
and our beloved country greater than
ever. Our farmers may return thanks
for bountiful harvests. our miners for
increased volume Of mineral products
of-ihe earth and all of us for life, hap.
piness and prosperity. Let Thanks
giving day be observed by all ! 1t will
give us renewed zest to combat in tins
battle of life,

All indications point to the fact that
in 1900 the two political parties will
be squarely aligned on the financial
question; the Democratic party as the
champion OF the peoples money free

monomeialism. The Democratic party
In those Eastern States where the issue
was.evaded now sees its mistake: the
Republican party in the West, even in
Utah, has discovered that wo-faced
or double-ba rreled policy cannot win.
In the next campaign, therefore, we
believe that both parties will sail
under their true colors, both in the
East and In the West. Which will our
voters choose?

A Pleasant Socia! Evening.

The autumn social season was auspi
ciOusly inaugurated by the large recep
ton given last Friday evening by Mr.
and Mrs. J D. Witter at their home Oh
High street. The host and hostess were
assisted in receiving by their guests
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Page Tbbits of Mil
waukee. in whose honor the reception
was given. The parlors were profusely
decorated in pink crystal candlesticks
delicate pink gladiolus in low dishes
and bows of pink ribbon. Mrs. Geo. P
Hambrecht poured coffee and Miss
Helen E. Kroner presided over the ice
assisting were the Misses Nellie Nash,
Pearl st. Amour and Anna Parrish.
Mrs. Witter wore a handsome Paris
gown of black velvet with revers of ole
Venetian point lace. Her high coiffure
was surmounted by becoming aigrette
of black tips and cut steel. Mrs. Tib
bits, who is of the ideal Spanish type
was beautifully gowned in brocadeC
yellow silk, the decollete bodice drapeG
with Nalenciennes. She wore diamond
ornaments. There were many pretty
tollettes worn by the guests.
During the evening Miss Gibson ad

Wisconsin Oairv School.

A new circular from the University
of Wisconsin Dairy school, located al
Madison, Wis, is now being distributed
to those interested in this line of IN.
structiOn. A great many pictures o1
the students and their work are given
in the circular, together with an outline
Of the opportunities afforded by this
school for dairy instruction.
Most of the 7S0 students who have
attended the school during the past
eight years are creamery or cheese fac
tory operators who expect to commence
factory work in the spring after they
have taken the three winter months
instruction. In the last class there
were 80 students who had positions
guaranteed them before coming to the
school, and six of these had their ex-
penses paid by some one for whom
they expected to work at the close of
the term.
The school can accommodate 100 stu
dents and applications are already
being received for the next term which
begins Nov. 20 and continues twelve
weeks. The daily work of the student
includes two lectures of one hour each
and four TO six hours work in the
creamery, cheese factory or pasteuriz-
Ing room.
No entrance examination is required
but at least four months practical eXpe-
rience in creamery or cheese factory
must be had before joining us. In the
last class there were 40 who had worked
from four months to one year and Is
for more than one year in creamery
80 had made cheese for four months to
one wear while 25 had worked in a
cheese factory more than one year. AS
the creamery and pasteurizing depart
ments of the work are in operation
during the entire year an opportunity
is then afforded for those with no pre-
vious experience to take our factory
pupil" course and get the necessary
experience for entering the winter
term.
Last year the Board of Regents of
the University reduced the fees for
resident students to $500, while non
residents must pay $32OO fees. So. .OO
is an estimate of students expenses
during the term.

ALL KINDS OF WAR BOATS AT MANILA.
J. E. Jones. Brother of Mrs. A. M. Muir and
Mrs. D. A. Teller, Reaches DeweyIand

Mrs. John Jones of Mazomanie, Wis,
who is the guest of her daughters in

her son the past week which tells of
his trip to the Philippine islands on a
transport vessel. He is one Of Uncle

given permission to publish the letter,
as follows:
On Board Steamer Valencia. Manila

All: We arrived here last evening at
4:l5. We came in without any trouble.
The escort we expected did not come,
so We we're left to take care of ourselves.
We had fine voyage, 1t is thirty
three days since we left Frisco. We
stayed in Honolulu two days, that left
thirty-one days on the ocean. We
but the other boats lost three. One
died with the heat and two jumped
overheard and were drowned.
This is an exciting morning here. The
American feet is anchored close 10 the
city of Manila, and the transport boats
are anchored east of our navy. Out in
the bay stand men of war from Ger
many, they are very large boats; then
there is fine fleet with the Union Jack
floating from the top mast. [ think
there will be bad mixture with those
two fleets some day. Then there is the
Russian fleet, the Japan fleet, and the
French have some men of war" here,
too: The most interesting and least of
all is the remains of the Spanish fleet
We can see the tops of three of the
boats. 1t is sad sight to see those
proud boats driven 10 the earth. They
call them the submarine fleet.
| don't know any news as [ haven't
seen newspaper since [ left San Fran
cisco. We are going to land in a day or
two. I think we will land in small
boats. There is a fort across the bay
from Manila, [ believe they call ii
Cavite. That is where the other eXpe-
ditions landed, we are going there, too.
Well, | must close, so goodby. Write

Beats the KIOndike,

Mr.. A. C. Thomas of Marysville, Tex,
has found a more valuable discovery
than has yet been made in the Klondike.
For years he suffered untold agony from
consumption, accompanied by hemor-
rhages; and was absolutely cured by
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and colds. He declares
that gold is of little value in comparison
with this marvellous cure; would have
it, even if it cost hundred dollars a
bottle. Asthma, Bronchitis and all
throat and lung affections are positively
cured by DR.. Kings New Discover for
Consumption. Trial bottles free at John
E. Caly's drug store. Regular size 90
cents and $1.00. Guaranteed to cure or
money refunded. (2)

Death of George Bodette,

The accidental death of George Bo-
dette, Youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Z.
I. Bodette, Thursday afternoon at
o'clock, September s, while at play on
the school grounds is somewhat mys-
terry. The cause of death was the
bursting of blood vessel, brought on
either from blow he received from a
football or from the habit he lad of
standing upon his head as long as be
could endure it. Both of these things
happened to him the forenoon of this
day. There was no mark upon his body
except a small one upon the forehead
which he probably received when he
fell to the ground when hit by the foot
ball.
/ 1t appears that the boy, after playing
during the forenoon recess, complained
of headache and asked to 60 home.
Leave of absence was granted and on
his way home he fell to the ground. On
his arrival home he commenced 10
vomit and at o'clock he was dead.
The shock was severe to bis parents, ii
all happened so suddenly that they can
hardly reconcile themselves to their
loss. The boy was the pet of the family
and favorite among his scboolmates.
The funeral service took place at the
Catholic church Sunday afternoon and
was largely attended. His classmates
marched to the cemetery and each one
paid tribute to their associate by plac.
ing beautiful boquet in his grave.
The parents have the sympathy ot
the community in their bereavement.

Cigarette Smoking,

1t has come to our notice that many
young boys in this city are smoking
cigarettes, probably unbeknown to their
parents, and the habit must be growing
upon them. This habit is very injur-
ious and parents ought to be more
vigllant about their sons in regard to
this habit. The question arises, where
do they buy, or how do they get them?
We publish in this connection an
article upon the effects of cigarette
smoking;
1t is physical impossibilty for an
habltual cigarette smoker to be either
healthy, truthful or accurate in busi-
ness. The great railroad corporations
are learning and recognizing this fact
Eighty per cent of all mistakes made
are made by those who smoke cigarettes
Cigarettes create thirst for strong
drink. In a circular letter sent out
recently by the Liquor Dealers associa-
ton the statement was made that an
appetite must be created' in order to
keep up the demand for their goods"
If hell had been ransacked no better
instrument could have been found to
create the appetite for. strong drink
than the cigarette. Tobacco III any
form is bad, but IN a cigarette there are
five poisons, while in a cigar there is
only one. There is the oil in the paper
the oil of nicotine, saltpeter to pre-
serve the tobacco, opium to make it
mild, and the oil in the havoring The
trouble with the cigarette is the lnhala-
ton of the smoke. If you blow a
mouthful of smoke through handker-
chief it will leave brown stain. Inhale
the smoke and blow it through the nos
tril and 70 stain will appear. The oil
OF poison will remain in the head or
body. In 1878 there were 100000 cigar
cites manufactured. Last year there
were ! POO, 100000. This in christian
America. We believe in protecting
everything but our bows.
