the unwilling. The monument is Of
Brandywine granite. and stands near
the site of the old Cooch homestead.
which was seized and used as head
quarters by CORVALLIS.

Prince Chun threw large and fra
grant bouquet to the German Emperor
during that peculiar apology. Your
Majesty sent troops from far dis
lance, put down the Boxers rebellion
and restored peace for the welfare of
our nations" he said. Nobody else
had anything to do with It; the credit
was all due to Germany and the great
Kaiser of the mailed fist, according to
this Chinese version. Chun must have
INDUCED in mental smile when he
said it, in view of the fact that the
trouble was about all over before Won
Waldersee reached the scene. How
ever. the fiattery of the war lords van
ity cost nothing. and probably put
Chun in an easier position.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago is in
Washington. He was credited the
other day with having caught fish
that weighed five and one-half pounds.
Immediately he took his pen in hand
and wrote a correction of the report.
assuring the public that the fish did
not weigh five and half. but only Ave
and a quarter pounds. The fisherman
who will scale a quarter of a pound off
his best catch is an exceptional fellow.

A Georgia Society is to be formed
at Raleigh, N. c. Its membership is
to be made up of those Georgians who
have emigrated to and cast their lot
with the Old North State. And they
will form a goodly company. They are
to be found among the leaders of bust
ness and the professions-in the mills,
stores. offices and pulpits; and while
they are good North Carolinians, they
are always Georgians. The proposed
Georgia Society will prove beneficial
to its members, especially in a social
way.

The statement is made that there are
more than 100000 Beers in the British
detention camps. the great majority
of whom are women and children.
These persons are "reconcentrados,"
just as much as were those Cubans
whom Weyler penned up and caused
to suffer so terribly. And 1t is said
the reconcentrado Beers are suffering
quite as much as the Cubans did, the
women and children dying like flies
from disease and the lack of food. 1t
is a most pitiable situation for which
both parties TO the war in South Africa
are TO be blamed. II the Beers would
drop their hopeless and unequal strug-
gle the British would quickly turn
these poor captives loose and permit
them to go their way. II the British
were animated by the spirit of the
Christianity which they profess they
would find means Of making the lot OF
their captives less horrible than 1t is.

THE KIDNAPPED CIGARMAKERs.

The story of the cigarmakers who
were kidnapped at Tampa, because they
were the leaders in a strike that was
injuring the business prospects of the
town, and carried away from their
homes, families and friends in the dead
of night, reads like a romance of the
yellow-back literature variety. 1t
seems that the kidnapped men have
been heard from. When they were
seized in Tampa they were taken to
a point on Hillsborough Bay, put on
board of a tug and carried out to a
schooner. The schooner Immediately
put to sea and the men were trans
ported to a lonely island off the coast
of Honduras. There they were put
ashore with a small supply OF water
and food. They finally reached the
mainland and eventually landed at
Key West. If it had not been for
friendly Indian they would have per-
ished, in all probability. on the island.
Never before was such plan
adopted for breaking strike 1t was
an effective plan, however, but one not
justif1able from any point of view. If
those who executed 1t are generally
known the fact has not been made
public. The probability is that there
was great secrecy in carrying out the
plan. as there were good reasons for
thinking that it would provoke trou-
BILE for somebody.
The trouble is about to begin. The
government has been appealed to and
steps have been taken to investigate
the kidnapping. 1t is doubtful If the
kidnapers Will be found. If they are,
they may have to answer for a serious
offense. 1t is the purpose apparently
of those of the kidnapped men who are
not citizens of this country to demand
damages. OF the thirteen men who
were kidnapped six are Cubans and one
is an Englishman, all of whom have
been naturalized. Six others are
Spaniards and, doubtless. they will
want heavy damages. BY the kidnap-
ing scheme Tampa was relieved of a
very unpleasant condition of affairs
but those who did the kidnapping may
have an uncomfortable time until the
affair has been entirely settled.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in
New York has received notice that Mr.
II. c.. Squier, secretary of the United
States legation in Pekin, proposes TO
present to ii a valuable and extensive
collection of Chinese art objects, in
Guiding some fine examples of porce-
lain of the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries. 1t is stated that the Squier
collection is large enough to "fill sew
eral railway cars" A dispatch in one
of the Philadelphia papers character
ICES 1t as being made up of the price,
less plumber of palaces. bought from
missionaries and at auctions of mill
tary loot" This is manifestly a gross
injustice to the missionaries, neverthe-
less the idea that much of the collec-
ton consists of loot seems to have
taken a strong hold upon the minds of
the correspondents, and there appears
to be a disposition to insist that the
museum either decline to receive the
gift or insist upon an investigation that
will clear the collection of suspicion.
1t is the understanding the State De-
partment at Washington will hold no
investigation of the matter, content
ing itself with the statement of the
secretary of legation that all of the
articles were acquired in a strictly
legitimate manner.

he has made marked progress since

deteriorated. He is still a problemr-a

GOVERNOR JENKINS
ISSUES PROCLAMATION

In accordance with a custom inau-
gurated by our forefathers whose be-
lief in Almighty God and His good
ness caused them to give thanks for
all things, and in compliance with the
proclamation Of Hon. Theodore Roose-
welt, president Of the United States
/, William M. Jenkins, governor of
the Territory of Oklahoma, do here
by set apart and proclaim Thursday,
November zs, 1901, as a day of
Thanksgiving and prayer.
While as a nation we have suffered
a great calamity and today mourn the
loss of a beloved president and bene-
factor, we still have cause for thank
fulness in that the blow aimed at our
government failed in its object; that
the principles of freedom and equali-
ty upon which the government rests
are unshakeu, that the law is supreme
and our people are drawn closer to-
gether in their common corrow.
As nation we have been blessed
in every material way; nature has
everywhere yielded her abundance;
prosperity and peace reign throughout
all the land
And of all the peoples OF the earth
none have greater cause for rejoicing
than the citizens of Oklahoma--for
here has nature been most lavish;
prosperity prevails on every side and
the people as a whole enjoy good
health and the comforts of life.
Therefore let this Thanksgiving day
be made one OF JOY to all. AS we
count our individual blessings let us
look about for those less fortunate
and by word and deed seek TO make
brighter the day for them.
Let the people give thanks to the
Most High, assembled in their usual
places of worship OF gathered about
the hearthstones OF their homes let
acts of charity, brotherly love and
kindness prevail; let the sick be min
istered INTO. the hungry be fed. the
poor clothed and the sorrowfui made
glad.
Forgetting for one day the strife
and struggle OF life let all of the peo-
pie OF the territory unite in asking
continuation Of the Divine favor
upon our glorious young common
wealth in all the years to come.
Given under my hand and seal this
the thirteenth day OF November A.
d., 1901.
