1t was now more than eighteen months
since the Hardys had been fairly estab-
lished at Mount Pleasant. Everything
was prospecting beyond Mr.. Hardy's most
sanguinc expectations. More and more
land was monthly being broken up and
irrigated. Large profits had been realized.
by buying lean cattle during the dry sea-
son. fattening them upon alfalfa, and
sending them down to Rosario for sale.
The pigs had multiplied astonishingly;
and the profits 1rom the dairy We're in

"MlTCHELL DAY."
Anthracite Miners Give Their Leader
n Grand Ovation.

NllkeSDarre, 4 a., Oct. ." - Mitchell
day" was celebrated in all the princi-
pal towns of the anthracite coaI re-
gion yesterday and in order that all
the mine workers might participate
in the exercises, the mines were
closed down. The principal demon
strations were held in this city and
President Mitchell took part. Every
body wore a John Mitchell badge.
The procession was nearly one hour
in passing a given point. 1t is esti-
mated that there were 10000 men in
line.
President Mitchell was given an
ovation all along the line of march
and whenever his carriage stopped
the crowd from the sidewalk pressed
around and insisted on shaking his
hand. An American flag was carried
at the head of every local" and
brass bands by the score furnished
music. The banners carried bore
many curious Inscriptions. Some Of
them read as follows:
"By arbitration we hope to gam
our just demands"
Unity and friendship make peace"
hou pleSS our country ana our
union.'
After the parade big mass meet.
ing was held at Y. NJ. c. \. park. The
first speaker was Rev. j. f. Powers,
of Spring Valley. III. He said he had
known John Mitchell since boyhood
and he always found him noble and
upright.
Thomas Haggerty, of Reynoldsvfllc,
Pa, eulogized Mitchell for his great
work in behalf of the miners. Sew
eral addresses in foreign languages
then followed. President Mitchell
was the last speaker.

Objectionable European Immi-
grants Enter the States.
Report of Robert Watchorn, Special
Immigrant Inspector, Recom-
mends That All Roads Into
This Country Re Made
Straight and Narrow.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Commissioner
General Sargent, of the immigration
bureau, has made public a report
from Robert Watchorn, special immi-
grant inspector. dated Paris, France,
on the immigration to the United
States by way of Canada. Mr.. Watch
orn says that Europeans who obvi-
ously are ineligible to enter the
United States for several years have
been directed by designing agents tC
Canadian ports with view to effect
ing Surreptitious entrance into the
United States across the interna-
tional boundary. Intending immi-
grants who by reason of some dis
qualification are rejected by the lines
running to United States ports are
turned over to lines running to Cam
ada and with few exceptions they are
accepted without question. Ihous-
ands every year thus find their way
to Canada and thence to the United
States.
Mr.. Watchorn says: Every steam
ship agent alludes TO the fact that
the United States immigration laws
are now being strictly enforced, and
is earnestly recommended as one
where any one is accepted who is
capable of walking off the ship n
statement which is invariably coupled
with gratuitous lesson in North
American geography, designed to i'm
press on the emigrants mind the
cheering information that Montreal
is a "border city" from which a walk
across the border is very easy mat
ter. unattended by any inconvenience
whatever. there being no inspection
of immigrants at said border.
"rhc efficient work of the immigra-
tion officials at New York and oInor
ports of the United States not only
tends to make a farce of the com
mendable scrutiny exercised at the
Belgium, Holland and German ports,
but serves to stimulate the work of
unprincipled and mercenary Eu
ropean steamship passenger agents,
who regularly send to Canada not
only those whose admission to a
United States port is open to doubt,
or those whose admission is known

TwO Men and Woman are Believed

Palmyra, Wis, Oct. 31.-Nhat is
supposed to have been one of the
most diabolical murders ever com
mitted occurred Thursday when the
home of William Wicllingson, three
miles southeast of this place. was
burned to the ground after. ii is
thought, the three occupants had
been robbed and murdered The
names of those whose charred re-
mains were found in the ruins are as
follows:
William Wickin%son, aged 43 years.
Albert Wickingson. aged 40 years.
Julia Wickingson, aged 81 years.
Evidence secured points TO murder.
The important clues are that William
Wickingson drew $500 from a local
bank Wednesday and that rig was
heard on the road near the Wicking-
son home shortly before the fire was
discovered. In the search of the ruins
William Wickingson's body was found
face downward with arms out
stretched. and near the charred bones
of the right hand was found a revol-
Yer and &3G5 in gold. \ tin box was

RENDER THANKS.
President Roosevelt Issues the Usua
Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Washington, Oct. 30.-President
Roosevelt on Wednesday issued his
proclamation designating Thursday,
Nov. 27, as day of Thanksgiving. The
proclama tion is as follows:
according to the yearly custom of
our people, it falls upon the president
at this season to appoint day of
festival and Thanksgiving to God.
Over a century and a 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 fauen to the lot of any
other people. Generation after gen
Grafton has grown to manhood and
passed away. Each has had to bear
its peculiar burdens, each to face its
special crisis and each has known
years of grim trial.
Nevertheless, decade by decade,
we have struggled onward and up
ward; we now enjoy material we'll
being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving earnestly
to achieve moral and spiritual uplift-
ing. The year that has just closed
has been one of peace and of over
flowing plenty. Rarely has any peo-
pie enjoyed greater prosperity than
We are now enjoying. For this we
render heartfelt and solemn thanks
to the Giver of Good; and we seek to
praise Him not by words only but by
deeds, by the way in which we do our
duty to ourselves and to our fellow
men.

Washington, Oct. 30.-A total OF
2,31O presidential postmasters were
appointed last year, according to the
annual report of j. l.. Bristow. fourth
assistant postmaster general. This
is the largest number appointed in
any one year in the history Of the
postal service The increase was due
mainly to the expiration Of commits,
sions during the year and the ad.
vance of many fourth class ufices to
the presidential grade. The total
number of appointments of postmas.
terS of all classes was 16,97O, an in.
crease of 1913.
There was a slight increase in the
number of removals of postmasters
for cause as a result of a more
strict discipline for carelessness anG
irregularities. There were 3,O3E
postoflices established and 4.050 dis
continued. The number of postoiIices
in the United States June 30, was
1924, of which 22G were first class

TAX FIXERS.
One of the Gang Makes Confession at
Chicago Concerning the Gigantic
Plot that Collapsed with Discovery
of Masonic Temple Frauds.

Chicago. Oct. 31.-1he Daily News
says: To State Attorney Deneen and
his uncle, Police Inspector Wheeler,
Luke Wheeler, the convicted tax fiXer,
has revealed in all its ramifcations
the gigantic plot that collapsed with
the discovery of the Masonic Iemple
frauds. Unless the present program
shall be changed, Wheeler Nill go be-
fore the grand jury today and, in a
formal declaration under oath, reit-
crate the statements made to the
prosecutor.
Wheeler's confession places him in
a new light, and if accepted literally,
removes from him the stigma of the
charge of building up defense with
IomuStones of the dead. The con-
spiracy, or rather the series of con-
spiracies, drove two men to suicide,
according TO the confession.
According to Wheeler, the Masonic
Temple fraud was merely incidental
to an extensive series of operations,
IrdvIrrul5 .r,u,r ItrJU the paST ana made
possible through lax methods. cou-
pied with a desire on the part of re,
sponsible prominent business houses
to evadc taxation.
Moreover, according to WhceIer's
declaration, the promiSsory notes he
was placed on trial for forging were
bona fide and legitimate paper. He
said that a public official at Spring
field sought to blackmail the clique,
threatened exposure and prosecution
against one in particular and worried
him into ending his life. The second
suicide involved in the case was due.

tive (Wheeler) would confess when he

The question what we shall eat con-
tinues to be an absorbing one to the
An 1m,ort,u, human race. There
are moments in
the life of many a
woman when the world seems TO her
nothing but u vast market, from
which she must snatch such food as
she may, and spend her whole force
in preparing it, only TO see it disap-
pear from her tired hands before the
greedy demands of appetite. Against
the depression of this mood there are
q few remedies. One is found in the
determination of the housewife that
in her home the food shall be so
cooked and served as to remove the
meal as far as possible from the
mere process of feeding, and ally 1T
with the satisfaction of those appe-
tites that we call the higher. The
meal swallowed hastily in hot, UNI
tidy room, from a table heaped rath-
er than spread, is a degradation alike
10 COOK anu TO eater. vi Ihc o'h'l
hand, a meal served with accessories
60 gorgeous as to dazzle all the
senses is no less vulgar. meal, be
1t humble or rich, set forth with the
dignity and seemliness which come
from clean linen, well-ordered dishes,
and plenty without surfeit, becomes
a function as worthy of high spirit
as the reading of good book or the
hearing of music. There are two
kinds of good cooking, observes the
Youths Companion. One of them is
represented by the work of the ac-
complshed French chef. His sauces
are creations" and his omelette is
worth the price of Il weeks food for
IamlIy. The other kind is as sim
pie as it is inexpensive. A dish OF
green peas prepared by New Eng
land farmers wife: a bowl of "hasty
pudding" eaten in the kitchen where
ii was cooked; a plate of macaroni
from the hand of an Italian peasant
woman-these may be truly triumphs
in the art of cookery. The conclu-
sion of the whole mattar-healthful
for the tired housekeeper and for the
overfed millionaire-is that food is
a means to life, not life itself; and
that whoever overvalucs or under
values it fails to live fully and richly.

quent-Great Excitement.
San Francisco. Oct. 31.-The entire
coffee zone of Guatemala has been de-
stroyed by flames and smoke from
the volcano of Santa Maria. Erup-
tions threaten the destruction of
every living thing within reach of the
fumes and fire that pours from the
burning mountain, according to
cable to Castle Bros. importers, of
this city, received from their cottee
plantation in Guatemala.
Last Monday" said Louis Hirsch,
of Castle Bros. II wired our repre-
sentatives there. asking for news of
the eruption of Maria, and in reply
came this cablegram: 1t is true.
Enormous losses. Probable volcanic
eruption. Coffee zone destroyed. Our
lives are in danger. Further reports
will follow
"The coffee districts referred to-
said Mr.. Hirsch. "are the Costa Cusa
and Costa Granda. They are the
finest plantations in the country If
the coffee district is destroyed as the
cable seems to indicate, onethird of
the crop is most likely involved.
Washington. Oct. 31.--A cablegram
was received at the state department.
yesterday from Consul General Nc
Nally. relating to the volcanic
conditions in Central America.
He reports that the eruption of the
volcano at Santa Maria, adjoining
Quezaltenango. continues: that the
city is covered with six inches of vol
canic matter; rich coffee plantations
on the coast side are buried under
seven feet of sand and ashes from
the volcano, and that detonations
from the eruption were heard in the
capital. There have been frequent
earthquakes and another eruption is
reported in the department of Tom-
bador. Much excitement prevails.
