A THANKSGIVING EDITION.

This issue of the Grafton News and |
Times comes in an illustrated cover and
full of interesting matter. We were spec
tally interested in Mrs. Bates Thanksgiv-
ing editorial. In view of her recent be-
reavement, and the trials and embarass-
ments of entering into the editorial and
publishing business, by one not accus-
toned to the work, her editorial breth-
rem can best appreciate and sympatlhise
with the minor chord that breathes
through her otherwise cheerful words;
OF all, from her brave example and elo-
quent words, may learn the lesson, that
all have or may have if they try, some-
thing to be thankful for.
"The manifold duties and responsible
ties of the past year were certainly such
as would have been chosen, and difficult
les may have at times seemed unsur-
mountable, but prudence, perseverance
and close application, in conjunction
with the greatful encouragement and lib
eral patronage OF the businessmen of
Grafton, and the people of Walsh coun-
AA 6SuSAoaS uoVS, thOuSu TIC IIOV.
dence crowned our efforts with degree
of success that could not otherwise have
been hoped for. Although the silver lin
ing to the dark clouds OF the past years
adversities may but just be visible, and
although the past years may have been
strewn with blessings and with more
bountiful gifts than the present, there has
been none strewn with blessings and with
more bountiful gifts than the present,
there has been none IN which we have
had so much just cause for Thanksgiving
as at the close of the present year. We
heartily trust that every freside which
this number of the News and Times way
reach will realize similar and more abund-
ant accession for remembering at this sea-
son and returning thanks to the Giver of
Jail Good. Remember the occasion for
thanktulness largely depends on from
what point you view your cause for
thanksgiving. 1t is not that against little
odds we have gained much, but that
against great odds we have gained lit
tie that should give us the highest salts
faction. 1t is what we can Conscientious
ly claim to have earued, not that which
comes gratuitiously, that one most ap-
preciate.'

The Grand Forks Plaindealer is kick
ing because nails are so much higher
than several years ago.. The fault lies
with the esteemed democratic party OF
which the Plaindealer is so ardent and
SO forceful an exponent. The fact of the
matter is that nails were SO greatly in de.
mand when it was necessary to nail all
the lies set afoot by the democratic and
populist campaign orators in the last
campaign that though the mills have
been working overtime they have been
unable to catch up with the demand

CURRENCY BILL BEFORE CON
aRESs.

The chief features Of the House bill
are those which relate to the metallic
standard. The substance of the bills has
reached the public, but heretofore in
somewhat disconnected form. The fol-
lowing is a synopsis of the main features
of the House bill.
1. That the present gold dollar is the
standard unit of value in the United
States.
2. That all interest-bearing obliga-
tons OF the United States for the pay
ment of money, now existing or hereafter
issued, and all United States notes and
treasury notes shall be deemed to be
paid in gold coin, and that~an other obli-
cations, public and private, shall be per-
formed in conformity with this standard.
8. That there shall be established in
the treasury department a division of
issue and redemption. which shall keep
a good reserve for the. maintenance of
the parity of money, separate from the
fiscal operations of the treasury.
4. That gold reserve shall be con-
stituted equal to 25 per cent. of the COM
bined amount of United States notes out
standing.
S. That the secretary of the treasury
may sell 3-per-cent. bonds payable in
gold whenever necessary to maintain the
gold reserve at proper amount and to
maintain the parity OF all forms of money
issued by the United States.
These provisions are SO clear-cut and
straightforward that they practically ex-
plain themselves. If enacted into law
they will place the United States among
the other advanced commercial nations,
with gold asthe fixed standard Of value.
The senate bill has not yet been given
final form, but differs mainly from the
house bill in creating a stronger gold
reserve and giving the secretary of the,
treasury even broader powers. The
house bill wohld provide gold reserve
at the outset of about sll2, 100000. The
senate bill will place the amount much
HlEneI, PIouaOi4 at the even sum OF
$l5O, ,O00 0OO The house bill provides
for maintaining tbe silver dollars at parity
with gold'by auth horizing the secretary Of
the treasury at hi discretion to exchange
gold coin for anytother money issued or.
coined by the UnAed States. The senate
bill is expected Il leave no discretion to

Canadian Excursions At Hand

Attention is again called to the Can
adian Excursions which the Northern
Pacific is offering the people in this va
cinity to enable them to visit there homes
and friends iii eastern Canada. Both the
farmer and the merchant have money
this year and it is expected therefore
that there will be a large movement to
eastern Canada this season. The rate of
$4,000 for the round trip is exceedingly
low and when you consider that it comes
but once a year and that il. enables YOU
to renew again your aquain.ances with
familiar places and loved faces, it does
not require much consideration to de-
eide that the trip shall be made.

Lexington, Va, Oct. 1s.-The entire
corps OF cadets at the Virginia Military
Institute. two hundred and sixty In
number, has been furloughed for thirty
days on account of number of cases
OF typhoid fever at the Institute. P
The news reached Norfolk yesterday
afternoon In the shape OF telegram
from cadets ut the institute to their
parents here.
INVESTIGATION.
DR.. Paulus A. Irving, of the State
Board of Health, returned yesterday af-
tcrnoon to Richmond from Lexington,
where he made an investigation with Il
View OF determining the cause OF the
fever. He brought back with him SAM
pies OF tho milk and water that the;
boys have been drinking, and they will
be analysed.
EXPECTED HOME TODAY.
The order having been Issued yester-,
day morning, the Norfolk and Ports
mouth boys are expected to reach home
this morning.
Some ofttlle cases OF fever developed
are severe, zbut tho majority are con-
sidered mild
1t Is hoped by the management OF tho
institute that the boys can return In
safety at the end of thirty days.

Cape Town, Oct. 15.-(Evening)-
Conyngham Greene, British agent at
Pretoria. received every civility on his
journey from the Transvaal capital.
Six OF President Krugers bodyguard
accompanied Mr.. Greene to the border
of the Free State and he received the
same courteous treatment in the Free
State.
The news of fighting at NTodder river
is not confirmed. The station master
at Modder river telegraphs that Beers
from the north and south have taken
Gangerishat, which they are terrifying.
BOER TACTICS.
Cape Town, Oct. 16.-The Orange Free
Stale troops have cut the telegraph
wires and destroyed the railway track
at Norvals Point Just across the Free
State southern border.
a dispatch from Dundee, Natal, says
that Boer commando, estimated at
1000 men with 16 field guns, has reach
ed Dannhauser, northeast of Dundee.
with tho probable intention of sur
rounding Dundee and cutting off the
garrison from communication with
Glencoe and Ladysmith.
1t Is supposed that this force Is COM
mandcd by Commandant Vitjoen and
comprises the German gunnera.
The rest of the Boer force from New
castle is believed to be marching
around Glencoe to sever its connection
with Ladysmith.
AS the refugees in Cape Town threat
on to become troublesome, and have
hooted and mobbcd a number of lead
ing Dutchmen, there is some expecta-
tion that martial law will be pros
claimed.
CROSSING THE FRONTIER.
London, Oct. 16-The War Office has
issued the following note this afternoon
with respect to the situation in South
Africa:
'"rhe dispatches received do not point
to any material change in the military
situation. Small bodies OF Beers are
reported to have crossed the Natal
frontier at various points, and en-
trenchments are said to have been
thrown up at Van Reenans Pass"

speculative, especially IL the reports be
true that the Orange Free State troops
are now in complete possession of the
railroad from Kimberley to Orange
river, 70 miles away.
STIRRING NEWS EXPECTED.
The alleged virulence of the Boer at
tack upon NIafeking and Kimberley
can readily be understood when 1T is
realized that Buchuanaland is TO the
Boers what Alsace-Loraine is to
France.
1t is therefore probable that both
towns Will be forced TO undergo q long
and dreary Investment before the Brit
ish- are in n position to send Il rcliev-
ing column.
On the other side Of the country the
Beers are closing around the British
outposts and have already come into
touch with them and exchanged shots.
Therefore moro stirring news Is eX-
pected.

because the English hopes OF lifting the

she leaned away with her lee rail al

to draw ahead until within half an
hour having unequivocany demon
strated her superiority in windward
work, 1t became only q question Of how
far the white flyer would beat her rival
to the outer mark.
PATROL FLEETS PERFECT WORK.
AS the yachts got farther out the
seas grew more turbulent and the spray
spurted higher from their bows. Many
eNcursiontsts came to grief. and the tug
boats, plunglng through the head seas,
sent the spray aloft to their pilot
houses, ind some of them were flooded
from stem to stern. The work of the
patrol feet was perfect. The revenue
cutters line ahead to leeward and the
torpedo boats line abreast astern held
the yachts In n hollow OF a moving right
and left, which changed direction with
each tack. and kept the yachts us free
from interference as IL they had been
sailing IN the middle OF the Atlantic.
Tho Shamrock footed valiantly, but
neither In speed nor In pointing could
she compare With Columbia. Then the
three shippers on the challenger put
their heads together and tried new tao
tics. The Shamrock made II dozen short
lacks. Evidently her shippers were
under the impression that she was
quicker OH her heel and better at forc
reaching than the Yankee boat, but the
Columbia proved quite as nimble as
the Shamrock.

rocks topmast floated Upton's flag,
green shamrock in q yellow field. The
wind kept freshening all the way out
to the lightship and the seas split more
of their froth No large assemblies
was on hand to witness the start, the
repeated fiukes having made the pub
lie very chary about coming out. A few
side wheelers. the regular feet of ocean
going tugs and score or two OF steam
yachts were all.
THE COURSE SIGNALLED.
Promptly at 10 o'clock the committee
boat signnlled the course, Is miles dead
into the eye of the wind to the east
ward and return.
Both yachts set No. club topsails,
their shippers evidently agreeing that
1t would not BIO wise to carry their
largest sky-scrapers In such n breeze.
Just as the warning gun doomed a
driving mist swept In from tho cast,
beating into the faces OF the patriots
and adding to their discomfort There
was some lively jockeying behind the
line before the start and Columbia got
the better OF Il. She clearly out-man-
oeuvered her rival, eventually forcing
her over the line first by half length,
but leaving Columbia In the weather
position.
THE PLUNGE SEAWARD.
The official time of the start was:
Shamrock, 11:01:03.
Columbia, 11:01:06
Close hauled on the starboard tack.
the yachts plunged seward, heeling to
the ~ knot breeze. Tho first few min
utes or the race were the most interest
ing. They made beautiful picture as
they raced away like hounds. Their
sails TO the nautical eye were perfec-
ton In MT They looked as IL they
might have been carved out OF aIabas-
ter. so firm and faultless We're the lines.
1t was soon apparent that the whit,
flyer was forging ahead. Tho clear
water began to show between them.
The Columbia not only seemed to out
foot the challenger, but the experts saw
that she pointed higher. 1t was aston
tshfng how she sliced her way UP into
the wind. Within is minutes she had
lead of five lengths. and from that
time on the race was hers The patriots
Were jubilant. and the bands, which
began playing, never stopped until the
race was over. The Columbia seemed
