ask her question, her reply is brief aud
delivered in tone which indicates that
she does not wish to be questioned. She
has not sent any letters from the Jail
since she has been there, and does not

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Roosevelt on Saturday is
sued his proclamation fixing Thursday,
Nov. Is, as day of national thanks
giving. 1t is as follows:
1.-The season is nigh when. according
to the time-hallowed custom of our
people the President appoints day as
the special 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
Pres. Mckinley because we so loved and
honored him; and the manner of his
death should awaken in the breasts of
Gus people keen anxiety for the country
aud ut the same time resolute purpose
not to be driven by any calamity from
the path of strong, orderly, popular lib
erty, which as nation we have thus far
safely trod.
''1et in spite of this great disaster, 1t
Is nevertheless true that no people on
earth have such abundant cause for
thanksgiving rs we have. The past
year has been one of peace and plenty.
We have prospered 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 as
from the lips and shows itself in deeds.
We can best prove our thankfulness to
he Almighty by the way in which on
this earth and at this time each of US
does his duty to his fellowmeD.
"Now therefore, |, Theodore Roose-
Welt, President of the United States,
appoint, Thursday, the 2Sth day of this
present November, as a day of thanks
giving and Recommend that through the
land the people cease their wonted oc-
equations and gather at their homes
and places of worship to thank the
Giver of all the good and countt IS
blessings OF our national life.
"In witness whereof | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

BUYING Bonds Again.

. Once more Secretary Gage has begun
the purchase OF bonds out Of the accum.
ulating surplus in the Treasury. He has
taken in in cash this month uine or ter
million dollars more than he has paid
out. He has the means TO reduce the
Government Indebtedness aud the dis
posifio 10 do 1t. He Is supported by
the President and by his majority party
in Congress.
Moreover, he is applauded by the PEG.
pie. Pending the session OF Congress
no better use can be made OF the redund
ant money in the vaults Al Washington
than this scaling down of the national
obligations. The bonds which Secretary
Gage has called are the per cents OF
1905. 1916, the per cents of 1901, the 4
per cents of 1907 and the per cents OF
1925. the terms | offer says Secre.
tary Gage, "are practically the samt
as those under which the purchases wert
made under the last call. took the
market quotations and made the ice
about the mean between the offers and
bids, which, Of course, is a shade above
the prices at which the actual transac-
tions were made. This | believe to b.
entirely fair to both the Government anc
10 the bond owners"
As for the reasons of his action, the
Secretary says:
The circulation Of the country eoulc
not stand this drain very long without
beng affected seriously, and as | do moi
wish TO increase the deposits in the IA
tional bank repositories, there WAS only
Que thing left TO do, aud that was to buy
bonds. can give no approximate idet
OF how long this offer will remain open
or how many bonds shall purchase
This administration is fortunate tina
1t has to deal with a surplus and no
with II deficit. But It's good fortune
after all, is its desert. 1t is the logica
result of the wise and honest reyenu,

Prosperity aud Promise.

The Maine Farmer of last week has a
column length editorial on "Prosperty
in Maine and the Promise OF the New
Year. 1t is a topic that is not easily
exhausted. The Farmer begins by
modestly blowing its own horn little,
and then pertinently makes these,
among other points, to the advantage of
our State:
In this year 1901 the summing up in
every way is so far beyond any previous
year that it may well be accepted as full
promise of very pronounced and sub
stantlal advance in all that pertains 10
the material as well as educational ir-
provement of the rural homes
Prosperity has come not simply
because Of favorable outward conditions
this year, but rather for the reason that
the farmers have been studiously AT
work to solve, and have been organizing
! their forces to accomplish, as never be-
fore, the result being that there is more
wealth in the rural portions of New
England today than ever in Its history.
In every New England state more
farms have been purchased during the
past ten months to be occupied and i'm.
proved, than for any term of years dur.
ing the past half century.
Maine is today the ideal state of the
Union, and New England the busy hive
of great industries, the home market
place of the country. Already our far
mers are preparing for larger crops next
year.

COWardIy Acts.

a cowardly act was committed by
some one in Washington county not dis
similar to two cases given in the RE-
PORTER, last week, one in Cornville the
other in Canaan, where the men or BOYS
doing the shooting did not put in an APP
pearanee to see what injury they had
done.
Leslie Bowker Of Marshtield died from
a bullet wound, Monday. the victim of a
hunters mistake. Bowker, Saturday,
was cunning in the vicinity of Great
Falls on the Machias river. He was
crossing an open field and WAS shot by Il
gunner in the nearby woods The rifle
ball cut II furrOw across the left leg and
passed entirely through his right thigh
close to the bone. He shreked from
pain and the hunter in the woods madr
off as quickly as possible. Bowker took
his belt and buekled it around his
wounded limb, and, raising himself.
attempted to walk. He fell after about
300 yards, completely exhausted. On
reviving he attracted the attention of n
party of hunters who carried him In u
canoe five miles, after which he was
driven two miles TO his home.
Bowker was so weak from loss of
blood and the journey together with
exposure that he died, Monday.
