THANKSGIVING.


This Is the day set apart by the Pres
ident of the Omitted States, and the
Governors uf various States and Terri
tories f,r general Thanksgiving. And
II IL good thing o give thanks unto
the Lord for Ills mercics cndurcth
forever"
All peoples and tongues have causc
TO give thanks unto q, d Tut no nation
cause so be thankful as the people
o. these United States Of America,
No other nation possesses liberty ms we
possess it no other people are SO boun-
tifully fed and clothed as this nation.
And the people Of Oklahoma have moro
cause for thanksgiving than have the
people OF almost any other locality, be-
cause OF the bountiful crops and the
freedom from any contagious or dan
gerous form of disease. Surely we can
repeat with ;hankfulness Of heart that
beautiful song Of the Sweet Singer of
Israel:
o give thanks unto the Lord for he
is good for his mercy endureth for
ever.
D give thank7 unto tre God of gods /;
for his mercy endurath forever.
O give tlIanss unto the Lord OF lords; /;
for his mercy cudureth forever
To him who alone doeth great Won
6ers; Cor his mercy endureth forever
To him that by wisdom made the
heavens;
To him that stretched out the earth
above the waters;
To him that made great lights;
The sun to rule by day, the moon and
stars to rule by night;
=.
Who remembered us in our low
estate;
And hath redeemed us from our
enemies.
Who givcth food to all flesh;
o give thanks unto the God of heav-
en-; for his mercy endureth forever.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.


We have much for which we should
be thankful. The people of Oklahoma
have, during the year which is now
drawing to close, been the recipients
many blessings. There is plenty in
the land. Health conditions have been
good. Evidences of prosperity are np
parent in all parts of the Territory.
Peace and good will prevail. Provi-
dence has bestowed bountifully and
the hearts of the people have been
made glad. Let US join With the Ma
tion in prayer and song.
Conforming to custom and in sccor-
dance with the proclamation Of the
President of the United States, 1 re-
spcctfully recomend that Thursday
November "a, 1904, be observed in
Oklahoma as day of Thanksgiving
and prayer, and that all public business
be suspended to enable US, as one peo-
pie, to assemble at places set apart fol
public worship and render thanks te

Miss ouri State Building Burned

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 49, 1.-The Mis-
souri, state building was destroyed by
fire early this evening, resulting from
the explosion of n hot water heater in
the basement. Instantly the flames
shot up through the rotunda, and the
north wing and cupola were solid
mass Of flames within ten minutes after
the explosion.
The loss cannot be estimated accu-
ratcly, owing to the Temporary con-
struction material, which has no sal
wage value. The principal loss is in
the contents of the building.
The building cost $4,000, and in the
building were $.5 900 worth of furnish
ings, the most valuable of which were
portraits of all former Missouri gov
ernors and supreme court judges
These cannot be replaced

The Cow Country Has Passed.
From the Guthrie Capital.
The elimination Q. the range in Ok
lahoma will probably be reached at
the coming session of the legislature.
Beaver county, atone, is without herd

range country. The movement on the
part Of the people there Tor the elm
iuation of range cattle aud for the
beuermeut Of farming conditions there
10y has the support of about all of the
members ot the legislature.
1t has not been SO long since the
entire territory Of Oklahoma was a cat.
tie country. But the line of invasion
of the man with the hoe has been
pushing steadily westward year after
year and the range has &c mas stead
lily giving way to the p!ow. The last
stand OF ,he'cowmea was in Beaver
county. Beaver county has met with
vicissi,udes and hardships and the i'll
ings there by homesteaders have been
time aud again abandoned because of
lack OF knowledge of coudiiions.
Bat the newer farmers th,re are
learnirg how to subdue the arid belt.
The climate IL b.coming better and
the crops arc more certain. The tine
aas come when Beaver county will be
recognized ar a farming country, and
tho range cattle will have TO be kept
under control by their owners.
The land hunger OF the west has
p pulsted Beaver eounty with energet-

wrest from the land the products
which they believe can be had.

very badly. Why not form n town
hall company, sell shares, and give
monthly or weekly entertainments to
help pay for it? With society like
that spoken of it could be done. Or,

not society of this kind pay in the
way of social enjoyment and in knowl-

GIVE Us AN IDEA.

There seems to be dcarth OF ways
and means for amusement IN this viii
Iage, and several plans have been
proposed to :relieve the monotony OF
the long winter evenings Nothing,
however, seems To suit the inclinations
and tastes OF sufficient number to
pay for organizing.
OF course there are plenty OF secret
societies, probably one or more for
each night in the week, and they are
all good things. But there are very
few people who can belong to more
than one secret society, and great
number who cannot or do not belong
10 any lodge. And, besides, lodges are
mostly organized for business, What
the people want is somewhere to go,
at least one evening week, where
they can get rid of the thoughts and
worry caused by the hard grind of ev-
eryday's drudgery.
Now we have an idea that a sort of
society or league might be organized
in the form of n literary society mot
q hard and fast debating society, nor
one that would have regular pro-
gramme bounded by rules to be gone
through with at each meeting--but Il
sort Of free and easy kind of an associ-
alton that would permit OF taking VI
any sort of literary, musical or dra'
matte entertainment and any time
For instance, at one meeting we might
haze papers and essays on some live
subject at another time we could hav,
a debate an evening could be filled
with music and deolamations and a
another time we might have genuine
theatrical entertainment.
People always work best when the.
have an object in view, SO it wouldn'
be best to organize society of thi
kind unless it had an object to accem
plish.
