university faculty and students urged
the accident theory.
Paul Barber, a Zeta Alpha freshman
at Kenyon college, has, according to
Prosecuting Attorney Stillwell, given inn
portant testimony in the secret inquest
into the death of young Stuart Pierson,
the student who was killed by an engine
on the railroad track at Gambler.
Barber, it is said, testified that he lay
bound and blindfolded upon the
track not 200 yards from the spot where
Pierson was mangled to death, waiting
for his two initiators. This, Barber de-
ciared, occurred about an hour before
Persons life was crushed out.
"We have conclusively established"
said Prosecutor Stillwell, "that it is the
custom at the college to tie candidates
to the tracks in the initiation ceremo-

Testimony in the Pierson inquest de-

The President has issued his procla-
nation setting Thursday. Nov. 80 next,
as a day for thanksgiving. as follows:
BY the President of the United States
of America--A Proclamation:
When nearly three centuries ago the
FIRST settlers came To the country which
has now become this great republic, they
fronted not only hardship and privation,
but terrible risk to their lives. In those
grim years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year for a spe-
cial service of thanksgiving to the AL
mighty for preserving the people through
the changing seasons. che custom has
now become national and hallowed by
immemorial usage. We live in easier
and more plentiful times than our fore
fathers, the men who with rugged
strength faced the rugged days; and
yet the dangers to national life are
quite as great now as at any previous
time in our history. 1t is emincatly
fitting that once year. our people
should set apart day for praise and
thanksgiving TO the giver of good. and,
at the same time. that they express
their thankfulness for the abundant mer-
cies received, should manfully acknowl-
edge their Shortcomings and pledge
themselves solennly and in good faith
to strive to overcome them. Daring
the past year We have been blessed with
bountiful crops. Our business prosper
ity has been great. No other people has
ever stood on as high a level of mate
rial well-being as ours now stands. We
are not threatened by foes from with
out. The foes from whom we should
pray to be delivered are our own pas
sions. appetites and follies; and against
these there is always need that We
should war.
Therefore l now set apart Thursday.
the Both day of this November. as a
day of thanksgiving for the past and of
prayer for the future. and on that day
| ask that throughout the land the peo-
pie gather in their homes and places
of worship. and in rendering thanks unto
the Most High for the manifold bless
ings of the past year, consecrate them
selves to life of cleanliness, honor and
wisdom, so that this nation may do its
allotted work on the earth in a manner
worthy Of those who founded it and of
those who preserved it.
In witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done ut the City of Washington this
second day of November in the year of
our Lord one thousand nine hundred and
FIVE and of the independence of the
United States the one hundred and thir-
tieth. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

millions for improvement" is the
watchword of the New York Central

will the work of building new cutoffs
and spurs be continued but the main
tracks of the entire system are to be

At present it is sought to limit the liza

The Oriental Limited" the new train
of the Great Northern railway between
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Puget Sound
points, has been aptly named. Travel
ers of this progressive age demand the
highest degree of comfort when they
are contemplating to undertake a Jour-
ney, and especially journey of consid-
cradle length. In the placing in SER
vice of the Oriental Limited" the
Great Northern railway has achieved
distinctive success in the excellence,
ease and elegance of this regal train.
If a man is making journey for purely
business reasons, he wants comfort. This
train lands him at his journeys end
with pleasant memory lingering in his
mind of the comfort which has been
provided for him. All the conyeniences
of a modern, up-to-date hotel, all the
comforts of home, the privacy of a
club, are at HIS command. Instead of
dreading a long journey he looks for
ward to it with pleasurable anticipa-
ton. To the tourist the same applies.
The delightful surroundings Of this
train, the oppor entities for enjoying the
passing scencry en- route makes the
Oriental Limited" the train that
pleases.

MORMON WOMAN'S FATE.
Depths of Her Degradation, 1t Is De-

Depths of Her Degradation, 1t Is De-
cIared, Cannot Be Told in Full.
The Mormon woman is the victim of
the mightiest and most terrible Gelu-
sion of the civilized world. Her true
story has not been, and cannot be, told
in full. The depth Of the degradation
which is the outcome of the Mormon
system of the present day is a very
cloak Of protection to the Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. 1t
is story which writers and speakers,
for the sake of propriety and common
decency, can only suggest. In just
so far is it strength to the Mormon
church. They prosecute us and say
all manner of evil against US falsely.
They make vile insinuations against
us which they cannot prove" says the
church. And therein is all this
strength, as, being named persecution.

Somersby Is to Be Sold.

Lovers Of Tennyson will be interest
ed to hear that the Somersby estate is
in the market. The center Of attrac-
ton there is, of course, says the Acad-
envy, the rect0ry, a picturesque, ram
bling structure with dining room
which externally resembles chapel.
The room In which the poet first saw
the light overlooked the lawn and the
church, perhaps "the Gods house" Of
1.-The Two Voices" where his father
of1iciated, stands on a low hill oppo-
site the house. The garden is full Of
associations of "In Memoriam," but 1t
should be remembered that the trees
are not as they were in Tennyson's
time-'the towering sycamores" and
"the poplars four have gone and the
whole place Is a wilderness. A gray
old grange" the reputed residence Of
1.-THE Northern Farmer" stands close
to the rectory.
A little way from Somersby is "the
brook that swerves to left and right
thro' meadowy curves" passing in its
course three mills, one Of which may
have suggested certain points In the
landscape of '"The Miller's Daughter" ~
1t is also the subject of the poem
known as 1.-THE Brook" On the same
estate is a wooded dell, deep, wild and
shady, which is called "Holywell
Glen" Here Tennyson wrote Byron
Is Dead" 1t is not improbably ''the
dreadful hollow" which "grides and
clangs its leafless ribs and iron horns"
and should appeal to readers Of
Maud" Not too far away is Mable-
thorpe, perhaps "the lovers bay" men,
toned in ''The Golden Supper" and
the seaside resort where Tennyson for
the first time saw "the hollow ocean
ridges roaring into cataracts."
