FIFTEEN OFFICERS ON
THE TRAIL OF JACKSON.
Every Effort Being Made to Capture
the Desperado.

the DesDeradO.
Huntington. W. Va, Nov. 12.-Chief
of Police Nash of Thurmond enlisted
fifteen special policemen here tonight
and has started out in pursuit of Ed
ward Jackson. who shot and killed
Sheriff Daniels at Montgomery on
Wednesday. Jackson is headed this
way, accompanied by number of his
friends, and orders were given the spe-
cials to shoot to kill if resistance was
offered. Chief Nash will continue his
march all night toward Montgomery,
and expects to capture Jackson to-
morrow.
Twenty warrants have been issued
for the arrest of friends of the Jack
sons who beat off the posse which at
tempted to arrest Jackson when he
came into the city to-day to attend the
funeral of his brother. 1t is feared
serious trouble will follow the attempt
to serve the warrants.
The excitement which prevailed when
Jackson appeared in Montgomery had
scarcely subsided when it was report
ed that Morris Adkins was shot and
Tom O'Neil brutally beaten and robbed
by Sam Core. who is believed to be a
member of the Jackson crowd.
The affair took place on Laurel creek
and Core was not apprehended until
he fought "a pistol duel with Deputy
Sheriff A. C. Hill, who attempted to
arrest him. A mob of miners formed
to lynch Core. but he was spirited
away before the mob could take him.

from ours and must be considered to
be definitely occupied by the enemy.
'The latter's fortifications are ac-
knowledged by all competent persons
to be skilfully constructed. Their
trenches in many places are so clever
ly concealed as not to be noticeable a
short distance away, the earth remov-

the trenches. The general position
causes q great tension on both sides.
Alarming news has been received
from Port Arthur, but the absence of
reports during the last few days
makes it evident that the movement
of one of the other Russian armies will
be dependent upon the course of events
there.
"On Nov. IL, scouts on our right flank
attempted to pierce the line of the
japanese fortifications, but were met
with stubborn resistance and, finding
the enemy strongly reinforced, retir-

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for TO- lso4

,,d not no1;t;cs However, some of the best politics
has been preached in Thanksgiving sermons.
The evolution from a local to a national and from
an occasional to an annual Thanksgiving was gradual,
slow and of recent SUNNI In course of
the Civil War there were days of thanksgiving fol-
lowing victories. That of 1868 made a marked I'M
preston on the nation, for it followed immediately
on the victories of the July ! OF that year: the sur
render of Vicksburg to Grant, and the defeat OF Lees
invading army at Gettysburg. That year brought
other victories and a good harvest, and PRESIDENT
Lincoln issued another proclamation ealing Tor a
dav of thanksgiving on November 20. Every North
en State Joined in this, the trst national harvest
thanksgiving. The next year Lincoln issued another
Droclamation setting apart November ~ as a day
of praise.
First congregational Church in Washington sent a
committee the next year with its pastor, the Rev
Renianoin F. Morris, reminding President Andrew
Johnson of the p~recedents established by the now
martvred Lincoln in the two preceding years. Mr..
Johnson heard the request, and IN response to popular
affection for the memory of Lincoln issued a procla-
nation.
Since that date the custom has never been omitted.
Once or twice another day has been added. as IN 1870,
when General Grant proclaimed July 4 as a day OF
thanksgiving for Our hundred years OF national life
But increasingly the harvest feature has become
prominent. and is referred to with more OF emphasis
in the p~roclamations of the President and Governors.
Some of us regret that Thanksgiving Day IS so
largely given over to sport, and are glad that the day
still retains a religious flavor; but 1t would be foreign
to the spirit of the day to make 1t too rlgldly a day
of religious solemnity. 1t is Il day OF homecoming
and good cheer, a day of joyful gratitude. The sermon
has its place. and so has the turkey, and possibly
also the football game. The spirit of the day is that
laid down by that rigid old Puritan and radical re-
former. but sane and benevolent Governor, nehemiah:
go YOUR own way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet,
and send portions unto them for whom nothing
is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither
be We sorry; for the Joy of the Lord is your strength,

coast of Cane Sable This event impressed Boston
as the destruction of Sennacheribs host impressed
Jerusalem, or as the sinking of the Spanish ARMADA
moved England with a sense of a divine inter-
position.
For a long period Thanksgiving Days were proclaimed
at irregular intervals and for special purposes. some
times they served other ends than those tor whlch
they were designed. \ perfunctory day OF thanks
giving for the birth of a British prince in 1905 was
more commonly used in New-England Tor preserv-
ing our invaluable privileges threatened by 'he
Stamp Act. Bells tolled and funeral PROFESSIONS
were organized, and the opposition continued until
the act was repealed. In III Governor Hutchinson
issued a proclamation in which among other things
thanks were expressed for the continuance OF our
civil and religious privileges but some oil the hill
listers commented severely on the phrase, and some
denounced it as false, and only two IN Boston woua
read the proclamation of the Tory Governor.
The first national Thanksgiving Day was Novem-
her IS. I-77. by act of Congress, expressing gratitude
that God had been pleased to smile on Is III inc
Prosecution of a Just and necessary War, Tor the
Defense and Establishment Oh or uliaieliaoe Nst''
and Liberties.
After the adoption of the Constitution a day was set
apart bv resolution of Congress and by proclamation
of George Washington, though there was not a little
discussion in Congress about the proprlety d the
Presidents asking people to give thanks LOT a .on-
stitution for which some of them were not thankful
But the last Thursday in November was so set apart,
and it came to be the day chosen when no marked
event indicated another day, and the thanks of the
nation, united under the Constitution, were expressed
on November IS, I7S9.
Not a few odd events have occurred IN connection
with Thanksgiving proclamations, particularly when
the Governor has been unpopular with the ministers.
This happened in the case Of Ben Butler, who, antici-
pating criticism. borrowed a proclamation from an
old volume of executive documents, and laughed
later when he told the ministers that they were criti-
sizing. not him.. but Governor Gore, OF happy memory.
But he admitted that he had added one sentence,
advising ministers on that day to preach the Gospel
