PROCLAMATION by THE rREs1DnS1
Fixing Thursday, November rs, rs q
Day of Thanksgiving.

Fixing Thursday, November rs, ~
Day of Thanksgiving.
Washington, Nov. president
Roosevelt has issued his proclamation
fixing Thursday, Nov. 2s, as day Of
national thanksgiving. 1t follows:
A Proclamation-Th season is
nigh when, according to the time
hallowed custom of our people, the
president appoints a day as the es-
recial occasion for praise and thanks
giving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of great and good president. We
mourn President Mckinley because
we so loved and 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 resolute purpose
not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly,
popular liberty, which as Nation
we have thus far safely trod.
Yet in spite of this great disaster,
it is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause
for Thanksgiving as we have. The
past year in particular has been one
of peace and plenty. We have pros
pered in things material and have
been able to work for our own up
lifting in things intellectual and spir-
itual. Let us remember that, as
much as 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 Almighty by
| the way in which on this earth and
at this time each ofns does his duty
to his fellow men.
! Now, therefore, I Theodore Roose-
Welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving, Thursday, the 2sth
of this present November, and = do
recommend that throughout the land
the people cease from their wonted
occupations, and at their several
homes and places of worship thank
the Giver of all good for the count
less blessings of our national life.
| In witness whereof, I have here
unto 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 one thousand, nine
hundred and one, and of the indie.
pendence of the United States the
one hundred and twenty-sixth.
(SeaD THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

BRITISH SUFFER HEAVILY
Colonel Benson's Rear Guard Was
Rushed Bv Beers.

London, Nov. 2.-Lord Kitchener
has reported to the war office dis
aster to the British near Bethel,
eastern Transvaal, in which two guns
were lost, several officers killed or
wounded and fifty-four men killed
and 100 wounded.
The following is the text of Lord
Kitchener's dispatch dated Pretoria,
Nov. 1:
81 have just heard of severe at
tack made on the rear guard of Col
onel Benson's column, when about
twenty miles northwest of Bethel,
near Broken Laagte, during thick
mist.
"The strength of the enemy is re-
ported to have been 1000. They
rushed two guns with the rear guard,
but it is uncertain whether they were
able to remove them.
II fear our casualties were heavy.
Colonel Benson was wounded but not
severely. A relieving column will
reach him this morning.
Lord Kitchener telegraphed as fol-
lows:
Colonel Barter, who marched from
the constabulary line yesterday,
reaching Benson's column early this
morning (Friday) is unopposed. He
reports that Colonel Benson died Of
his wounds.
1.-THE casualties are as follows:
Killed, Colonel E. Guinness, Major
+. d. Murray, Captains w. M. Lindsay
and +. I. Thorould, Lientenants E. V.
/. Brooks and r. E. Shepherd, and
Second Lieutenant A. j. Corlett. Died
of his wounds, Captain Eyre Lloyd"
Lord Kitchener then gives the
names of thirteen officers who were
wounded, most of them severely, and
announces that ffty-four non-com-
missioned officers and men were
killed and 100 wounded, adding that
four of the latter have since died of
their wounds. The dispatch then
says:
81 assume that the two guns have
been recovered and the enemy has
withdrawn, but l have no further de-
tails.
II deeply regret the loss of Colonel
men who fell with him. In Benson,
cspable officer who Invariably led his
column with marked success and
judgment.
THE fighting was at very close
quarters and maintained with deter
1nination by both sides. The enemy
suffered heavily, but l have not yet
received reliable estimate.
The Beers retired east
Colonel Benson had been for some
time operating in the vicinity Of
Bethel, which is northeast of STAN
derton. He surprised Boer lager,

taking thirty-six prisoners. Three
days later, according to Lord Kitch-
ener's report at the time after long
march, the commanders, under Gro
belaar and Erasmus, heavily attack
ed Benson's rear guards and tanks
at Yziryarkfontein, but were easily
driven away"

London, Nov. 5.-What is regarded

said that the ever Increasing demand

anxiety for the future.

Des MONIES, Nov. 5, 1901.
The state executive council leased
the meandered portion of Wall Lake
to the town of Lake View, Sac coun-
,ty, which desires to improve these
portions of the lake bed lying adja-
cent to the town, but rendered use
less to the state because of their
meandered condition. The lease has
not yet been drawn up, but it will
probably provide for consideration
of not more than five dollars from the
town for the use of the lake bed.

FRIENDSHIPS FOR TURKEY
Demand to Be. nade on the Porte
for Payment Of Claims.

Paris, Nov. 1.-The officials of the
French foreign Office confirm the res
port that division of the French
Mediterranean fleet, composed Of
three battleships and two cruisers,
under the command of Admiral Gail
lard, has proceeded from Toulon to
the Levant, to make naval demon
stration against Turkey.
A foreign office official, in commune
icating the foregoing to the CORE
spondent here of the Associated
Press, said: "The squadron sailed
with sealed orders and proceeds first
to Greek port, the island of SYRIA,
I think, where the admiral will re-
ceive definite instructions as to car
rying out his sealed orders. am not
at liberty to say what the sealed or
ders are, but the seizure of the GUS
toms at Smyrna would probably be a
very effective way of convincing the
sultan that Frances patience is en-
hausted, and that we have decided to
enforce an immediate execution of
the Turkish governments engage
ments. We, however, are very hope
full that the sultan will not compel
us to go to that extreme.
Our squadron will not reach the
Greek port before Sunday. The Turk
ish government has thus still three
days grace and we trust, in the mean
time, to receive complete satisfac-
ton. We have acted very consider
ately toward Turkey, hoping, up to
the last moment, that she would carry
out her engagements, and it is only
now, when we find that there is no
serious indication of her doing so,
that we have reluctantly resolved to
put stronger pressure to bear, in the
shape of naval demonstration. 1t
is now two months since the French
ambassador, M. Constants, left Con-
stantinople. His departure failed to
produce the desired effect. On the
contrary, even the Quays and Tubini
questions, which were settled by the
sultan's trades, remain unadiusted..
The internal situation in the Turkish
empire deferred US, for some time,
from taking drastic measures to en-
force our demands. But the dignity
of France could not permit the pres
emit state of affairs to be prolonged
indefinitely. We sincerely hope the
sultan will fully appreciate the fact
that we cannot any longer be trifed
with, and relieve us of taking further
steps to safeguard our interests"
The official was asked what would
happen in the event of the French
squadron being ordered to seize the
customs and if the Turkish authori-
ues resisted, and he replied: "That
is very unlikely contingency, but
if that is the case, I suppose we shall
have to lombard the port. We do
not want bloodshed and / do not he
lieve there will be any occasion for
it,"

The iceman and the goldman are
often suspected of giving short weights
maybe oftener suspected than guilty:
maybe oftener guilty than suspected.
The means of testing the weight of
from ten to thirty pounds of ice are
not always at hand in the house. but
close estimate of the weight can be
reached by multiplying together the
length. breadth and thickness of the
block in inches and dividing the prod
uct by thirty. This will give very
closely the weight in pounds. Thus, if
block of ice is 10 by 10 by 8. the prod.
uct is 600 and this divided by thirty
gives thirty pounds as the correct
weight. A block 10 by 10 by weighs
twenty pounds. This simple method
can be easily applied, and it may serve
to remove unjust suspicion or to detect
short weights.
