WASHINGTON. Sept. ia dis
patch announcing that Speaker Hem
derson had declined 10 accept the con-
gressional nomination caused SEN
sation in Washington.
Very few public men are in Wash
ington at this time but al tnatare
here experes sa regret that Speaker
Henderson had determined on that
course. The reasons leading to his ac-
tion were, perhaps, as much matter
of comment as his refusal to stand for
reelection, Public men acknowledge
that there is demand in sections OF
the West and Northwest for revision OF
the tariff alonge certain lines, notably
in the case of articles whose manufac-
ture is controlled by trusts. Their
opinion is that Henderson's decision
will make this more acute and it Ii
suggested that the president Is confer
ring at this time with the leading
from the East and West, pre-
sumably on that very question which
has forved Henderson out of line with
his party in Iowa.

Thanks giving Day Proclamation.

Washington, Oct. 29-President
Roosevelt today issued his proclamation
designating Thursday, Nov. q, as day
of thanksgiving.
The proclamation is as follows:
According to the yearly custom Of
our people, It falls upon the president
at this season to appoint dag of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
Over q century and q quarter has
passed since this country took its place
among the nations of the earth, and
during that time we have had on the
whole more to be thankful for than has
fslleu to the lot Of any other people.
Generation after generation has
grown to manhood and passed away.
Each has had to bear its peculiar bur-
dens, each to face its special crisis, and
each has known years Of grim trial,
when the country was menaced by
m alice, domestic or foreign levy, when
the hand of the Lord was heavy upon It
in drought or food or pestilence, when
in bodily distress and anguish Of soul IL
paid the penalty Of folly and froward
heart.
Nevertheless, decade by decade, we
have struggled onward and upward;
we now abundantly enjoy material
well-being, and under the favor OF the
Most High we are striving earnestly tG
achieve moral and spiritual uplifting.
The year that has just closed ha:
been one of peace and of overfowing
plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed
greater prosperity than we are now en-
ioying.
For this we render heartfelt and sol
emu thanks to the giver of good, ant
we seek TO praise him not by words only
but by deeds, by the way in which we d,
Iour duty to ourselves and to our fellow
men.
, Now, therefore, /, Theodore Roose
velt, president of the United States, d
hereby designate as q day of genera
i thanksgiving Thursday, the twenty
seventh of the coming November, an
do recommend that throughout tn
, land the people cease from their ordir
AIRY occupations, and in their sewers
homes and places Of worship rende
thanks unto Almighty God for tn
manifold blessings of the past year.
In witness whereof, l have hereun,
set my hand and caused the seal {
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington tn
10Th day of October, in the year of OF
Lord, one thousand nine hundred ar

United States, the one hundred an
. twenty-seventh.

Obituary..

Clara Elizabeth, only child of John
and Minnie Neeper, departed this life
October "a, 1902, aged year, 3 months
and 8 days. Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. J. E. Alexander At
the Equality church Sunday, October
%, 1902.
We do not know why dear little
Clara Was taken away, when she was 80
dearly loved and such a Joy and COM
fort In the home. But may the pa
rents recognize that the Hand OF Love
which gave, hath taken away.
We had little treasure once.
She was our JOY and pride.
We Lived her. All. perhaps too well,
For soon she slept and died.
God needed one more angel child
Amidst his shining band.
And so he bent with loving smile
And clasped our Clars's hand.
All Is dark within our home,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one We loved 30 dearly.
Has forever passed away.
Yet again We hope TO meet her.
When the day of life II fed.
When In Heaven. JOY to greet her.
Where no farewell tears are shed. -.
