thinking something had been given out,
he had proceeded to write what ne
knew were the facts.''
: He then pointed out that the inter-
view was erroneous in that it repre-
scented him as having said that he had
overwhelming evidence that the refrig-
Grated beef was treated with chemi-
Gals. The fact was that his only evil
dence was what was contained in the
reports Of officers and statements of
men who claimed that the beef had the
odor Of an embalmed body; that they
had seen fluid injected into beef and
other indications of chemical treatment
He declared The interview an enron
eous presentation of what he could pos
sibly have said.

GOEREI, NOMINATED.

The deadlock in the Kentucky Stase
democratic convention, which had been
in session at Louisville nearly week,
was broken last night by ths nomina
tion OF Goebel on the twenty-sixth ball
lot. The opposition forces were weak
ened by motion from their side to ad.
journ the convention sine die, and refer
the gubernatorial nomination to the
State central committee. This motion
was supported by both Stone and Har-
din, but it was not put to a vote, as
che chairman ruled it out of order, and,
on the succeeding ballots Stone andHar-
din showed lack of ability to control
their followers. The convention show
ad determination to make nomina-
zion by adopting a motion to drop the
hindmost candidate after the twenty
9th ballot. The Stone and Hardin
forces opposed this resolution strenu-
ously, but Intellectually, and, in accord
ance with it, Stone was dropped and
Goebel nominated on the next ballot.

THE administration, in order to fill

The administration, in order to NIL
I'D the ranks of the army in the Philip
pines that have been depleted by the
heat and sickness of those islands and
the bullets of the natives thereof, has
added to the bounty of FIVE hundred
dollars it has offered to each OF the SOL
diers now there whose term of service
has expired, to reenlist, but, in addition,
four months furlough at home. That
certainly should be sufficient to effect
the desired object, but how many ofthose
soldiers would be found when the time
for going back shall arrive, especially
as bounties will then be offered for all
recruits, can be told probably by re.
cruiting sergeants better than by Secre-
tsry Alger, even though he himself,
according to General Merrick, has had
personal experience respecting re-
return to the army after furlough,
no matter how obtained. But a four
months Through for whole brigades
looks very much as if the administra
ton hopes to carry on the war until the
next election, and as the war costs one
million dollars a day, the hope of q
partial relief from taxation has given
Mace to the fear that taxes will have to
he increased. War is a pleasant pas
time to the few who profit by it, but is
lust the reverse to the many who have
to bear it's expense in both blood and
money

SENATORS DANIEL and Martin Of Virginia
and the other U. s. Senator'S who voted
against the ratification OF the Spanish treaty,
that provided for the payment of twenty
million joliars for the Philippine Islands,
were denounced, at the time they did so, as
conspi rators against the government, by the
limoges, expansionists and imperialists. From
present indications it looks as if those sena
tors were infinitely more interested in the
happiness and welfare of their country and
its people than those who alsndered them,
and besides, had great deal more seuse.

An Important Factor In Transconti-
mental Travel.
No one crossing the continent can
afford to cut Salt Lake City from his
route. The attractions of the place,
including the Mormon Temple, Taber-
nacle and Church institutions, the
Great Salt Lake-deader and denser
than the Dead Sea in the Holy Land
the picturesque environment and the
warm sulphur and hot springs, are
greater to the square yard than any To-
cality on the American continent.
The Rio Grande Western Railway,
connecting on the East with the Dem
yer g Rio Grande and Colorado Mid
land Railways and on the West with
the Southern Pacific Central Route9
and Oregon Short Line, is the only
transcontinetnal line passing directly
through Salt Lake City. The route
through Salt Lake City via the Rio
Grande Western Railway is famous all
the year round. On account of the
equable climate of Utah and Colorado
it is just as popular in winter as in
summer. Send &c to J. D. Mansfield,

The first Thanksgiving differed very
materially from Its successors. in that it
was proclaimed 6s fast and not as a
feast. Supplies had run short. the ships
expected from England were delayed,
and extinction threatened the Governor
and company of Massachusetts bay in
New England" Winthrop and his coun-
Gil decided to hold day of prayer and
abstinence, $50 that ye Lorde be propi-
tiated' and locke upon His servants with
favor, in that they have humbled them
selves before Him." Accordingly crier
was sent about the primitive settlement
of Charlestown, and the colonists were
each and all invited TO take part in the
fast. Their sacrifice met with speedy re-
ward.
Scarcely had the noon hoar of the al
lotted day arrived when the long-hoped-
for ship made it's welcome appearance in
Massachusetts bay, the cargo was landed
and the fast ives succeeded by a banquet
Of sort which must have seemed sump-
tuous indeed to the exiles so recently
plunged in hunger and hardship. On the
threshold o: dreaded winter Winthrop
and his followers found what had been
a prospect of fear and peril changed into
one of happiness and hope. Such was
Americas first Thanksgiving, as cele-
bratcd 269 years ago. Thereafter each
