Let Us Give Thanks!

THANKSGIVING was originally a day
for returning thanks to God for
bountHul harvests. 1t was a farmers
day Of rejoicing and praise because
the fields had yielded abundantly of
those products that furnish food for
man, and are so essential to his exis-
tence to life itself. While the day
has come to be one ofgeneral thanks.
giving for all Gods mercies, never
theless the agricultural idea is still
rightly pl ON .nent. How fitting then
tnat We who dwell in the Red river
valley, the richest farming section. OF
this country, the bread basket OF
the world, should celebrate Thanks
givi g Day. And this year also we
have every reason to be grateful
Though our fields have perhaps not
yielded as abundant haryests as
some years, nevertheless we have
enough and to spare. Trainload af-
ter trainload OF golden grain are
sent from the Red river valley to
feed the people in other places. Cattle
and sheep and nearly all the pro-
ducts OF the farm are in good de
mand at fair prices. The condition
OF the Red river valley farmer is
steadily improving. Let our hearts
fill with gratitude towards God for
his many blessings. !.
The nation ALSO has reason, to be
thankful this year. a great war for
5huulanity's sake has been foughtand
won, and q lasting peace we hope will
be ours. We thank God for the
bravery of our soldiers and sailors,
and for the patriotism of the people.
We are thankful that this year has.
seen sectional strife largely alb polished.
and 4 more fraternal feeling estab-
.llshed between the North and the
South.
The. country also gives thanks for.
a condition 81 general prospe erit,y,,.
for a revival Of industrial and com
mereial actiyity, for N ore work and
letter wages than prevailed g fey
years ago Our exports have iin-
creased and our imports decreased.
by reason Of wise ia riff ton.
leaving; a fay orable trade balance Of
more than $6 600, 900. Our mon
se,y is good and worth 100 cents on
the dollar to the wage earner, the
farmer or the capitalist,

Sandusky, Ohio, Jan. 23-The steam
err American Eagle, which arrived

by which the lives Of 26O persons
were placed in imminent peril Dur
ing the winter, when the ice is Stirling
enough to hold them, large numbers
of residents of the island engage in
fishing through the ice. Small houses,
large enough to accommodate two to
six people are taken out on the lake
on sleds, holes are cut through tile ice
and the houses are placed over the
holes. Yesterday while about 200 men
and women We're in the little houses
a fierce gale sprang up suddenly and
without warning, the wind reaching
q velocity of between fifty and sixty
miles an hour. The wind was from off
shore and was so fierce that the ice
Which had been weakened by rain
began to crack and break along the
shore. The line of blue water that
marked the break began to widen
with appalling speed. Men and wo-
men began Il mad rush toward shore,
from which relief parties in small
boats commenced to put off to the
rescue. The rescuers worked heroic
ally in the face Of great dangers and
succeeded in bringing to shore every
one of the POO people.

tcrs-Gen. Garcia Reported Killed

Havana, Jan. 22.-According to in
formation frum Spanish sources Gen.
Castellanos, being aware that the in
surgent government was established
at EsperanZa, in buildings constructed
from Puerto Principe, at the extreme
west end Of the Cabitas ridge, pro-
ceeded in that direction with 1900 in
fantry, 400 cavalry and two field can
non. After three days trying marches
he forced difficult position on tue
fourth day and overcame the obstinate
resistance Of 1000 insurgents, pur-
suing them more than six miles and
destroying and burning the houses at
Esperanzia, including the insurgent
government buildings. On the follow
ing day Gen. Castellanos engaged the
reunited insurgents, $500 strong. near
EsperanZa. He routed them after two
hours combat. The insurgent loss is
believed to be numerous, but ewing 20
the density Of the woods it is difficult,
according to the Spanish account, to
ascertain the full extent of the de-
feat. The insurgents left 81 dead on
the field. The Spanish lost killed and
had 81 wounded. among the latter be-
ing Lieut.. Col. Perez Monte. The in
surgcnts under Monteaguedo, enraScd
by the reports of the surrender Of In
surgent Gen. John Masso Para, at
tackled the town of Esperanza, Prov
ince of Santa Clara. Under cover Of
darkness they reached the houses in
the Rosario ward, but the garrison re-
PEELED the attack and followed the
fleeing insurgents outside the town.
The latter left nine dead. a private
disl atch from Spanish sources says
the attacking insurgents had thirty
wounded and that the garrison loss
was insignificant.
Although nothing appears to be
known on the subject at Spanish head
quarters, persistent rumors We're in
circulation to the effect that Gen.
Garcia. the famous insurgent leader,
was killed in a recent engagement
With Spanish troops.

CONTESTS THE WILL.
Mrs. Olsen Alleges Undue influence
on Her Father.

Mary G. Olsen has commenced in the
Superior Court a contest of the will of
Manuel Dubois, deceased
She alleges in her complaint that she
| is the daughter of deceased. and has
two children, Adeline V Martin and
Lottie Herzog; that he did not leave
any wife or any other child than her
self. She contends that the alleged will
of deceased, which has been admitted
to probate, is not his will; that at the
time it was signed decedent was of I'M
sound mind and not competent to make
a will; that he had been sick for sew
eral months previously and was unable
to know what he was doing, and if
he signed such q paper did not know
that he was signing a will.
She further alleges that at the time
he signed the paper if he did sign it,
he was not free from the undue inilu-
ence of his grandchildren before men
toned, and others acting IN conjunc-
ton with them, and was induced and
compelled to sign 1t through their I'M
due influence; that it was not duly eX-
ecuted and attested, not signed by him
| in the presence of two witnesses, and
that no witnesses attested his sigma
ture, nor did he declare to anyone that
| the instrument was his will or ask any
witnesses to sign it.
| She therefore prays that the probate
| may be set aside and the paper de-
| clared no will.
