MINNEAPOLIS, Nov 3.-The plant
of the Hennepin County Cooperative
Barrel company Fourteenth avenue
south and Fifth street, was RACED to
the ground this morning by fierce
fire. While the large force Of employees
were at work a burst of flames came
from the dry kiln, and the next moment
the entire structure was in flames.
The building was burned to the ground,
and the large stock was completely de-
stroyed. entailing a loss OF $4,000.
= The close proximity of the North
Star Barrel company's plant endan-
gered that property, but fortunately
the wind turned the flames and the fire
department was successful in saving
1t. Several small houses were right
next to the south wall Of the Henne-
pin County plant, one Of which is oc-
cupied by a Mrs. Young, who is a rela-
tive of William Goodbar, who a short
time ago stood trial for the killing of
William Lyle. Her house was within
a few feet Of the doomed structure, but
was saved.
For two hours the fire burned fiercely,
and it was not until most of the stock
in the building had been consumed that
the blaze subsidized. At 10 o'clock the
fire was under control and the flames
were about extinguished.
During the progress of the fire two
trains on the Milwaukee road were
held at Thirteenth and Fifteenth ave-
nues south on account of the obStruc-
. ton made by the hose. The wires of
the Western Union Telegraph company
which run along the tracks, We're burn
ed down.
The plant has been unfortunate In
regard to fire. Six years ago it was
damaged to the extent Of $500. and
three years ago it was again scorched,
the loss being So, 900. The plant had 113
men employed at full time. The COM
pany intends to start right in again,
at Nineteenth avenue south and Twen-
ty-fourth street, where it owns build
ing.

Thanksgiving Dav.

Washington, D. O., October 2S. The President, after a Cabinet meeting to day, issued the following Thanksgiving proclamation:
 By the President of the United States, a proclamation:
 The approaching Novem Der brings 10 mind the custom of our ancestors, hallowed by time and rooted in our most sacred traditions, of giving thanks to all Almighty God for all the blessings he has vouch safed to us during the past year
 Few years in our history have afforded such cause for thanksgiving, We nave been blessed by abundant harvests, our trade and commerce have been wonderfully increased our public credit has been i'm proved and strengthened, all sections ofour com on couu,ry have been brought together and knitted into closer bond of national purpose and unity.
 The skies have been for a time darkened with the cloud of war, but as we were compel led to take up the sword in the cause of humanity, we are per mitted 10 rejoice that the con tlict has been of short duration and the losses we have had to mourn, though grievious and important, have been So few, considering the great results accomplished, as to inspire us with gratitude and praise to the lord of hosts. We may laud and magnify hls holy name that the cessation of hos rillties came so soon as to spare both sides the countless sorrows and disasters that at tend protracted war.
 1 do, therefore, invite all my fellow citizens, as we'll as those at home as those who may be at sea or sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th day of Novem Der, as a day of national thank sgiving, to come together in their several places of wor ship. for a service of praise and thanks to Almighty God for all the blessings of the year; for the mildness of the seasons and the frultfulness 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 hope of righteous peace, and to pray that the divine guid ance which has brought us heretofore to safety and honor may be graciOusy tinued in the years to come.
