Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Mckinley has issued
the usual Thanksgiving proelama-
ton, setting the date on Thursday,
November 80, 1900. The following
is the proclamation:
"It has pleased Almighty God to
bring our Nation in safety and
honor through another year. The
-ofreligion and charity have
everywhere been manifest. Our
country through all it's extent, has
been blessed with abundant har-
vests. Labor and the great indus
tries Of the people have prospered
beyond all precedent. Our COM
merce has spread all over the world.
Our power and influence in the
cause Of freedom and enlightenment
have extended over distant seas
and lands. The lives Of our official
representatives and many of our
people in China have been mar
velously preserved. We have been
generally exempt from pestilence
and other great calamities, and
even the tragic visitation which
overwhelmed the city Of Galveston
made evident the sentiments Of
sympathy and Christian charity by
virtue of which We are one united
people.
SNow, therefore, I, William Nc
Kinley, president of the United
States, do hereby appoint and set
apart Thursday, the 10Th day Of
November next, to be observed by
all the people of the United States,
at home or abroad. as a day OF
thanksgiving and praise to Him
who holds the nations in the hol.
low of his hand. I recommend
that they gather in their several
places of worship and devoutly give
Him thanks for the prosperity
wherewith He has endowed US, feI
the valor, devotion and humanity OF
our armies and navies, and for al
His benefits to us as individuals
and as nation; and that they
humbly pray for the continuance Of
His divine favor, for concord and
and amity with other nations, and
for righteousness and peace in all
our ways.
SIN witness whereof [ have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed. VIM. MCKINLEY.

Halloween.

Quite a number of capers were
executed Wednesday night ta1at
will have, a tendency to make
Halloween memorable. Signs
were moved in various parts of
the city and some Aghsble
changes effected. sSR one or
two places sidewalks were torn
up, and small outbuildings were
moved or upset.
The boys at the O G took
the cannon aud planted it on the
new granite-sand walk leading
to the city and its business end
was pointed this way. They
also attempted to move the yer
zebra of whale that has stood
against the corner outside the
executive building into the build
ing. They made heroic efforts,
and awakened people in the
vicinity from their slumber by
the grunting and groaning they
underwent while tugging on the
section of vertebra. The best
they could do was to get it well
up on the 0 A c steps.
There is a couple of college boys
who could relate a very thrilling
tale if they were SO inclined. A
gentlemen heard a couple of
shots fired and presently a cou-
pie of young men passed Elm at
a high rate of speed, and one
was telling the other, between
breatlls, that he heard the shots
whiz. Well, although it makes
some people mad to have their
affairs nleddled with, Hallowe' en-
is like the Fourth of July-it
comes but once a year.

Additional Local

The people of Philomath were en-.
tertained Wednesday evening with
an address by Judge Lowell on
campaign issues, and mnsic by the
Republican Quartet from Corvallis.
The rally was q great success, the
address being exceptionally able.
Judge S. A. Lowell, Of Pendleton,
who was billed to address the citi-
zens of Alsea, Tuesday evening in
the interest of the republican party,
was obliged by his health and
weather conditions to remain in
Corvallis on this date. Wednes.
day morning he visited the Agri-
cultural College and made brief
address to the student body. Ir
the course of his remarks he told
the students to select some mission
in life, some high and worthy task
for performance, and devote their
whole energies to its accomplish
ment; to ever have this end in
view, even though it required a
lifetime. His remarks were great
appreciated by both faculty and
students.
The official announcement of the
total population of the United
States for 1900 is 1926, ,22O, of
which 1892, ,9O7 are contained in
the 45 states, representing approx
mately the population to be used
for apportionment purposes. There
is total of 134, ,156 Indians not
taxed. The total population in
1890, with which the aggregate
population of the present census
should be compared, was 63,-
069,756. Taking the 1890 pop
ulation as { basis, there has been a
gain in population Of 1925, ,464
during the last 10 years, represent
ing an increase of nearly 81 per
cent. The census of Oregon is
1883 against 313,767 in 1890.
This shows a gain ofnearly 100000
in the population ofsOregon DUR
ing the past ten years-quite a
healthy gain.

New Line Now Open


Realinne the fact that Il is from It's
train service chat city gets much Of its.
sprominence with the business world the
people Of this city have waited with
more Or less impatience for the opening
sof. the new line of the Chicago North
western railway from New UIm to Man
kato. The service given BY the compa-
ny il the past has been, perhaps, ample
and most satisfactory but the American
people demand the best that there Is to
be had, and knowing this, the G. s. n.
w, with its characteristic enterprise de-
cided to straighten out the somewhat
slnuous line between this city and Man
skato, thereby saving to itself several
miles haul upon each train load Of pass
engers or freight and also put itself in
position TO give to this city and its west
.ern connections increased and quicker
service.
While the number of miles covered
by the new line, d cut off as it is called,
is but 26 yet it is really one of the most
lmporatnt pieces Of track in the compa-
ny's entire western system. Over it will
be ruiz all through passenger and freight
trains from Chicago to the Dakotas,
eliminating the curves and grades of the
old line via Kasota junction and short
ening the haul by about nine miles.
= The new schedule which went into eff
feet Sunday is as follows: -.
~<E TRAINS GOING EAST.
No. 4 Daily, except Sunday, new line,
leaves at 6 10 a. N. ..
No. IS. Daily, except Sunday, old

No. 7. Daily, except Sunday, new
line, 8 :35 p. m.
There is also an extra Sunday train to
Mankato and return leaving this city at
800 a. M, reaching Mankato at 10 80
a. m. Returning leave Mankato at :45
p. m. reaching New Ulm at 7:15.
The new time card gives to New Ulm
twelve passenger trains each day max
ing the vicinity of the Northwestern de-
pot decidedly metropolitan in appear
ance. The new train put on and which
reaches this city from the east at 1910
a. m. leaving Chicago at 9 o'clock the
previous morning, runs no farther west.
One of the most important changes in
the schedule is brought about by the
putting on of the Lew Chicago train
leaving here at 1920. By this train
passengers for the twin cities may
change to the Omaha at Mankato, max
ing a close connection, ard arrive at St.
Paul at 30 in the afternoon.

Saturday evening at about II o'clock
fire was discovered at the plant of the
New Ulm Rendering company located on
the river bank at the foot of Twenty
first South street. The plant was entire
~ new having just been completed and
in operation but about week and has
been doing very encouraging business,
The owners, Messrs, Austin & Green,
came here this spring from Winona and
have shown themselves to be- enterpris-
ing and energetic business men and their
misfortune is deeply regretted by all.
The story of the fire is necessarily mee- !
gre, the plant being situated fully a
mile from the nearest fire alarm box and
not less than two miles from the fire
station, hence before aid could be sum-
,moned and reach the scene of the fire
the damage was almost complete The
origin Of the IRE IS mystery, although
there is a possibility that it might have
started in the boiler room, but the theo-
~ of incendiarism prevails to marked
extent. The value Of the property de-
Istroyed is estimated at $1500 with an IN
.surance Of $500 on building and stock.
The work Of clearing away the debris
has already been commenced and new
building Of solld brick will take the
place of the frame structure destroyed.

tival Given by Mrs. Fish
ut Newport.


The GROWING event of the season
of 1900 at Newport took place the
other night-a harvest festival

Stuyvesant Fish to give this function.
Previous to the dance Mrs. Herman
Oelrichs, who was associated with
Mrs. Fish in the arrangements for
the dance. gave dinner to 112 guests
at Rose Cliff. AS soon as the dinner
was over the guests entered the car
riages and automobiles and the jour-
ney to Crossways was begun. AT the
gateway of Crossways. surrounding
the two massive stone posts, were two
huge mock pumpkins made into "jack
O. lanterns" each one 12 feet in cir
conference and inside were brilliant
calcium lights. Ali the trees and
shrubbery about the grounds were
brilliantly Illuminated by twinkling
lights.
The peasants dance took place in
the drawing-room. All of the dancers
were dressed in the Dutch, French and
Hungarian peasant costumes.
Fun was added to the affair by the
harvest offerings presented to Mrs.
Fish by the guests as they entered
the villa. Mrs. Oetrichs had duck
under her arm, Harry Lehr sucking
pig. Mrs. Belmont a shanghai rooster.
Mr.. Dolan gander, Mrs. Ladenburg
chicken, and other guests had vege.
tables of all descriptions. At the end
of the procession, and to cap the eli
max, appeared Herman Oelrichs

LONG YEARS IN DIPLOMACY
Great Britain Retains Her Foreign
Ministers Until Age Over
takes Them.

Sir Horace Rumbold, British ambas-
sador at Vienna, and Sir Henry Drum
mond Wolff, ambassador at Madrid,
have been retired from the diplomatic
service of England, both having passed
their SEVENTEEN year, two-thirds OF
which time they have spent in the dip
lomatic service Of their country.
The diplomatic careers of American
representatives at the great capitals of
the world rarely exceed four years.
While Sir Horace Rumbold has been at
Vienna only four years, he has been
continuously in the diplomatic service
Of his country since 1910. Sir Henry
Drummond Wolff has been at Madrid
since 1892, and since 1916 has spent
much of his life in the foreign service.
Among other veterans of the British
diplomatic service may be mentioned
the following:
Sir Francis Richard Plunkett has
been at Brussels since 1898. In 1876 he
was first secretary of legation at Wash
ington. He has been connected with
the foreign office since 1858.
Sir Henry Mortimer Durand entered
the foreign office service in 1874. He
has been in Persia six years.
Edmund Constantine Phipps hasrep'
resented his country at Rio for six
years. His total foreign servicehas ex'
tended over AZ years.
Sir Henry N. Dering went to Mexico
in 1894. He has done diplomatic work
since 1859.

LOST IN A GREAT CAVE.
Note Found In Bottle Purportine to
Be from Hopeless Wan
derer.

While Will Russell, son Of Chief Of
Police Frank Russell, of Bedford, Ind,
and two other young men, named
Grin Scisco and hester Stevenson,
were exploring cave on the farm Of
man named Kern, ~ miles south
west of Bedford, the other day, they
discovered mysterious note, which,
II true, reveals the awful death of
an unknown man.
After going quite distance back
in the cave, which is said to be about
three miles in extent, bottle was dis.
covered at the top of high precipice
in an indentation in the rocks, and
was held in place by mud which had
been daubed around it. The bottle
contained note, which read as fol-
lows:
Have been lost here since Sunday, De-
cember TO- 1896 1t is noT 10:25 p. M. Decem-
Der rs. Am hungry and last oil all gone
JAKE oLDtiN, Lincoln. Neb.'
One the back of the note was writ
ten: Tell my friends / died happy
JAKE"
The bottle was of quart size and
AAoN Sodl VII, as lllG uOU6
was saturated with it,
The young men made a thorough
search for anything that might lead
to an explanation of the mystery, but
they were unable to go beyond the
precipice upon which the bottle wa.
found. The depth of the declivity
seemed to be about 50 feet, and wa
ter could be plainly heard falling in
the depths below.
On May 10, 1894, Jalhes Corbin and
Martin Hansford undertook to ex.
plore this cave and were lost through
their light going out, and it was only
after many hours OF hard labor and
perseverance that they regained the
entrance.
Whether the note was written by
some one who was really lost or as a
joke is mystery, but it is certainly
possible that one could enter this
great cave and become lost. A search
will be made, again during the com.
ing week, when an attempt will be
made to descend the precipice where
the bottle was found

sprague, not being a medical man,
could hardly have known what rene
dies to employ in an emergency of this
kind. All he did was to whisper sooth-
ing words in the young girls ear and
to kiss the tears from her eyes. But
apparently that was enough. Evident
