President Issues His Annual Proclaim
tion, Fixing 1t ON November IS.
WASHINGTON, Nov 4.-President
Roosevelt Saturday issued his procla-
nation fixing Thursday, November %,
as a day of national thanksgiving. 1t
follows:
The season is nigh when, according
to the time-hallowed custom of our
people, the president appoints day
as the especial occasion for praise and
Thanksgiving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of great and good president. We
mourn President Mckinley; we also
honored him, and the manner Of his
death should awaken in the breasts
of our people keen anxiety for the
country, and at the same time reso-
lutte purpose not to be driven by any
calamity from the path of strong, or
derly, popular liberty which, as a ma
tion, we have thus far trod.
Yet in spite of the great disaster it
is nevertheless, true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause
for thanksgiving as we have, the last
year in particular having been one of
peace and plenty We have prosperity
in things material and have been able
to work for our own uplifting in
things intellectual and spiritual. Let
us remember that, as much has been
given us, much will be expected from
us, and that true homage comes from
the heart as well as from the lips and
shows itself in deeds. We can best
prove our thankfulness to the Al
mighty by the way in which on this
earth and at this time each of us does
his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
velt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thursday, the 2Sth
of this present November, and do rec
ommend that throughout the land the
people cease from their wonted occu-
pations and at their several homes and
places of worship reverently thank the
Giver of all Good for the countless
blessings of our nation.
In witness of which have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal Of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
second day of November, in the year
of our Lord 1901, and of the independ-
ence of the United States the 126th.
By the president,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
JOHN HAY, Secretary of State.

STATE BOUNDARY PUZZLE.
Steps to BE Taken TO Make Present River
Channel che Line.

OMAHA, Neb.. Nov. 4.-The deci-
sion of the United States supreme
court in the matter OF the Iowa-Ne-
braska boundary at Cut-Off and East
Omaha-holding that the boundary
changed with gradual changes OF the
river, but remained in the old bed
of the river at the time of the sudden
"cut of" which put the river prac-
tically where it is now-has given rise
to a troublesome condition which
steps are to be taken to correct.
Illustrations of the difficulties work
ed by the supreme court decision are
found in this vicinity at Cut-Off and
Lake Manawa. At both of these
points the river bed changed gradu-
ally through a long series of years,
until the river flowed in the shape OF
a horse shoe, and then suddenly cut
through the neck between the ends Of
the shoe. AS a result a piece of ter
ritory containing several square miles
on the Nebraska side of the river at
Cut-Off is held to be Iowa territory.
On the other hand large portion OF
Lake Manawa and the territory to
the southwark Of 1t are held to be-
long in Sarpy county, Nebraska.
1t is now proposed that the actual
bed of the river at any time shall con-
stitute the boundary between the two
states. 1t is stated this can be eff
fected only by an act of congress, but
it is realized that the initial proceed
ings will have to be taken by the
communities most directly interested.
The change suggested would place
Blue lake and Lake Manawa in Iowa,
and would give Cutoff lake and Lake
Quinnebog to Nebraska.

FORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. 4
The steamer Dirigo, from Skagway,
brought 100 passengers and 700 tons of
canned salmon. Navigation is practi-
cally ended ON the Yukon. On October
27 cake ice was running out of Pelly
river into the Yukon. Slush ice was
running at Dawson and the river was
daily expected to close.
Great preparations are being made
at Dawson and during the winter there
will be strong competition for over
ice travel. An opposition stage line
will be put on. A large number of men
are working On roads and trails and
when the river freezes everything will
be in readiness for stages.

TURKEY MUST GIVE Up.
France Urges It's Claim on Sultan With
Menacs of War Ships.
BROKEN TREATIES TO BE MINDED
Encroached Upon-war Vessels Now
Going Forward to Enforce the DEGREES
of the French Government.

PARIS, Nov 4-This morning NJ.
Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs,
telegraphed NJ. Baptist, counselor agent
! for the French embassy in Constanti-
| nople, directing him to present today
| to Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of
foreign affairs, note asking how the
Turkish government proposed to pay
| the Lorando claims and demanding the
execution of the sultan's trade dealing
with that matter. The note will also
request satisfaction regarding the
rights of France. which are defined in
the various treaties and which in some
cases have not been respected and in
others have been encroached upon by
Turkey.
me declarations of what has been
done bears out the statement made
yesterday regarding the intentions of
the French government. Admiral Call
lard is expected to reach his destina
ton tomorrow. The foreign office has
received no news from him since his
division left the other division of the
Mediterranean squadron four days ago.
1t is pointed out that, the absence
Of news is not surprising, as the in
structions to Admiral Caillard were to
steer due south and avoid passing in
sight of BoniIacio, Corsica or trayers
ing the strait of Messina in order to
prevent his movements being signaled.
The vessels of the division carried
only normal supply of coal, but this
would be much more than enough to
enable them to steam 1,500 miles, the
estimated distance they must cover be-
fore reaching their destination.
1t is expected that Admiral Caillard
will be joined en- route by the torpedo
cruiser Condora. which is stationed in
Cretan waters, and may be met by the
torpedo dispatch boat Vantour, which
is stationed at Constantinople. 1t is
also probable that the cruiser Admiral
Charner, which arrived at Port Said
October 81, from the far east. is being
held -nere in order to join Admiral
Caillard if needed
1t is further reported that three 9TH
er war ships are held in readiness at
Toulon to reinforce him sAould their
presence be necessary.

Capt. Bogardus HISS n Dangerous EXPERT
enes but Comes Out Unhurt.
Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov
4th.-Capt. A. II. Bogardus, the cham
pion wing shot of the world, has spent
the summer here. His shooting school
has been one of the features OF the
Park during the season. He has CIV
en- many exhibitions and his skill with
the rifle Is superb.
The Captain tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk
hart, III. He had been sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
1t rapidly developed into Brights Dis
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed Is to
put it very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at
last he was to be conquered by such
cruel foe.
At last he heard Of medicine that
had cured many such cases-Dod6s
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says: 81 attribute my present
good health to Dodd's Kidney Pills
and to nothing else"

NEBRASKA AS APPLE GROWER.
An Invitation for Farmers to Produce
Jonathans.

OMAHA, Nov. 4-E. F. Stephens of
Crete has presented General Passen-
ger Agent Francis of the Burlington
with a big, red apple, a Jonathan that
looks like a mammoth jewel, and says
that it is sample of the product of
$4,000 trees, in which he has a half
interest. His plan is to put out the
Nebraska grown trees among farmers
on contract by which he is to re-
ceive half Of the product for term
of years, the farmer to cultivate the
trees according to instructions The
success with which he is meeting, he
says. proves beyond question that irri-
gated ground in the Loup. Republican
and Platte valleys along the southern
line OF the Burlington will be the fin
est apple growing country in the world
if the farmers are properly interested.

what is Set Forth in the Report tina,
Has just Been Made Public.

LINCOLN, Nov. 4.-The increase OF
deposits in Nebraska national and
state banks from July II to Septem-
Der 80, the day of the last call, is ap-
Droximately $3,65O,O00. The increase
in state and private banks alone, as
shown in the report issued by Secre-
tary Royse of the state banking board
today. is S1,195,010. The average in
crease of deposits In the national
banks of the state is 10 per cent,

very nearly correct If the same ratio
of increase prevails throughout the
state in the national banks the total
deposits in Nebraska banks will be
over s5S, ,000,0 900.
