Thanksgiving Day Proclamation.

Washington, d. c.. Oct. 29.-Presi-
| clamation designating Thursday, No
vember 81, as a 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 day of fes-
tival and thanksgiving to God.
over a century and a quarter has
passed since this country took it's
place among the nations of the earth,
and during that time we have had on
the whole, more to be thankful for
than has fallen to the lot of any other
people. Generation after generation
has grown to manhood and passed
away. Each has had to bear it's Pc
culiar burdens, each to face it's special
| crisis and each has known years of
grim trial. when the country was
menaced by malice, domestic or for
eign levy, when the hand of the Lord
was heavy upon it in drouth or flood
or pestilence, when in bodily distress
and anguish of soul it paid the penal
ty of folly and a forward heart New
ertheless decade by decade, we have
struggled onward and upward; we
now abundantly enjoy material we'll
being, and under the favor of the
Most High we are striving to achieve
moral and spiritual uplifting. The
year that has just closed has been one
Rarely has any people enjoyed great
er prosperity than we are now enjoy
ing. For this we render solemn and
heartfelt 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.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral Thanksgiving, Thursday, the
twenty-seventh of the coming Novem-
Der, and do recommend that through
out the land the people cease from
their ordinary occupations, and in
their several houses and places of
worship render thanks unto Almighty
God for the manifold blessings of the
past year.
I'm witness whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal

Iron Ore at Highland.

Interest in the reported iron fields
near Highland, in Lake county, con-
tinues, and a number of Duluth peo-
pie have gone into the new range in
the hope of finding something there.
All who have taken land in the alleged
iron district are confident that their
properties are underlaid by valuable
iron mines.
1t is reported that negotiations are
under way that will result in putting
a diamond drill on one property owned
by Duluthians, and that will test the
quality of the hopes the owners en-
tertain.
w. F. King and several other Duluth
men are interested together in the new
fields. They have put down seven
or eight pits in sections and 4, SAIL
and it is reported that-they have found
indications of ore that are very en-
couraging. If there is iron under the
soil there it is present in large guam
titles, because it is said that the same
conditions were struck in every pit
that had been sunk.
The King property adjoins that own
ed by Malcolm Mcleod, of which the
Herald has published something in the
past. On the Mcleod property, it is
claimed, ore has really been struck,
and the same result has attended the
test-pitting on the King property. /.
Mr.. King and his associates have an
undivided half interest in $50 acres,
and they are the ones that are report
ed to be arranging to put a diamond
drill into the property. 1t is said that
they have good assays from the ore
that has been found. 1t is soft ore,
running into hard ore deeper.
The theories about the reported find
is that they are on new range, and
not continuation of either of the
other ones. Mining experts have al
ways suspected the existence of an
other iron range in that vicinity, and
mining men from the two older ranges
have lately been looking into the
Highland section.
OF course nothing is proven as yet.
All there is is that iron ore has been
found, and that everybody that is in
terested there hope that when the
diamond drill is put in it will show
up large deposits of high-grade ore.
Nothing will be settled about it until
the drill is put in, which is likely to
occur pretty soon.-Herald.

FATAL CASES.
A PUBLIC DANGER, AND WHY
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN.

Your attention has not been called
to this public danger for some time,
and we believe it is our duty to in
form the people that the majority OF
fatal pneumonia cases are caused by
the patient taking for a cold some
so-called cough cure or "balsam"
which depend upon poisonous druga
for their effect.
These drugs deaden the nerves and
stop secretion along the breathing
tract, which is always followed by
congestion and inflammation-that
causes pneumonia.
Without these injurious drugs
Father Johns Medicine cures coldsI
long-standing coughs and all throat
and lung troubles. 1t is not a patent
medicine or cough syrup" but a
body builder and tonic; it cures
colds by soothing and healing the
throat, and nourishes the system at
the same time. Its gentle laxative
effect strengthens the stomach and
corrects the digestion, SO that each
organ of the body is able properly
perform its work--that Is how the
poisonous waste matter and impuri-
ties are driven out of the system.
It's food elements make strength and
restore to sound health those who
are weak and run down.
