Salvation army and the society's house
of worship was crowded to it's utmost
with devout and grateful worshippers.
Being a legal holiday, all public Of
fees and places of business remained
closed and the city wore an air OF
Sunday. In this respect the day was
observed more fully that ever before,
as none of the stores opened, even
for a few hours during the forenoon,
as has been their custom heretofore.
The only exceptions were the drug
stores, which remained open during
the usual Sunday hours.

THANKSGIVING in BILLINGS.
Day Observed as Usual and Passes
~ Off Without Incident.

YBillings observed Thanksgiving in
the good old manner. There vas
feasting and merry making and good
cheer prevailed everywhere. The
hotels and other places where the
homeless ones find shelter and food
served their guests with many deli
cacies not on the regular bill of fare
and by the bounty of their spreads
sought to compel forgetfulness on the
part of those whom circumstances
compelled to forego the pleasure OF
participation in feasts under family
roofs. Many families entertained and
numerous happy groups were gathered
about boards that g%roaningly bore
their bounteous loads. Many OF the
poor were remembered by their more
fortunate neighbors and only a very
few did not have occasion to he thank
full for material things.
The weather, while not what it might
have been, was still reasonably good.
Although the sky remained cloudy,
the air was warm and barring the
mud that covered street and crossing
outdoor existence was a pleasure.
Failure to secure a date with any OF
the teams in it's class prevented &C
t~ualization of the expected football
| game in which the Billings giants
we're to have battled for supremacy
| on the local gridiron. This proved a
sore disappointment to many, for a
| Thanksgiving without football has in
| recent years come to be regarded in
the same light as a Thanksgiving din
| ner from which the turkey and Gran
| berry sauce are missing. To make
up for the lack, the enthusiasts specu
| lated and wondered as to the outcome
of some of the many "big" games that
were scheduled all over the country
and many an alumnus stood ready to
wager cigars, coin or almost anything
else on the fact that his alma mater
would prove the victor in the game
in which it was engaged.
In a religious way the day was mo-
permitted to pass without a return
of thanks and praise to the Almight!
for the blessings SO generously vouch
l safed during the dying year. All tn

trailed as far as Ubet, where the
storm struck them and it was neces-
sary to load them there and ship them
straight through.
News has been received Of the death
Of Mrs. Glib. A. Lane, which occurred
at Prosser, Wash, a few days ago.
and Mrs. Lane died and now the Sec
ond bereavement comes to an already
sorely afflicted husband and children.
Until sometime last year the family
resided in this city, where Mr.. Lane
pyxcticed law. *
it could hardly be called a
.chinook, still a warm wind prevailed
during part of Wednesday night and
the greater portion of yesterday, caus-
ing the accumulated snow to rapidly
disappear and leaving the streets and
roads in horrible condition. Overhead
dark and sullen looking clouds sour
ried and raced across the skies,
prompting men with a weakness for
weather predictions to announce the
coming of another storm.
Next Tuesday, December 1, the new
interchangeable 2,000-mile mileage
books that the members of the West
ern Passenger association have agreed
upon will go into effect. AS indicated
by it's name, the book is good on the
different railroads having membership
in the association. 1t is good for
bearer, but rebate is allowed only
when used by the original buyer. This
provision, it is believed, will prevent
misuse of the books.

do say that an elaborate and sue
cessful performance is assured.
Search is making by the proprietors
of the Eugene restaurant for a woman
of their own nationality, whom they
accuse of having stolen $500 from
them last Wednesday. According to
their story the female Celestial ar
rived in the city a few months ago,
although she seemingly has been seen
by only few white persons, and made
her headquarters at the restaurant.
In this manner she learned the place
where they kept their wealth. con-
| cealed and took advantage of the
| knowledge gained to possess herself
of it. Although they have promised
to file a complaint against her and
in this manner secure the cooperation
| of the authorities in their search,
so far they have failed to do so. 1t
is believed that the woman has left
town, although no evidence of this
fact has been secured.
/Complaint was made to the police
| Wednesday by a number OF Cinnamon
| that during che night before one OF
| their countrymen had been violently
deprived of a Celestial's greatest pride,
and concern, his queue. They accused
a whiteman named Reynolds OF nav
ing committed the outrage, saying he
had started a quarrel with his victim
and then without a moments warning
had whisked out a pair of scissors and
with one movement severed the trail
ing hirsute appendage. subsequently
it developed that instead of cutting 1t
off, Reynolds had jerked it from the
astonished Mongolian's head. Sifted
down it seemed that the offense con-
sisted simply of tearing a few yards
OF braided silk from the queue, leav
ing the hair untouched. The complain
ing Cinnamon promised to appear
again and file a complaint against
Reynolds, but they failed to do sc
and the matter was allowed to. drop.
