and killed his wife and then took his
own life. Miss Slaughter was awakened
in the night by the sound of gunshots,
and her health was greatly impaired by
the resulting fright The newspapers
printed the news of the tragedy, and as
result her house was given undesirable
advertising. The notoriety drove away
business.

Terrill, a life prisoner in the Noble
County jail for the murder of Jack En-
bree, homesteader with whom he was
contesting for the title claim, has written
to Miss Alice Roosevelt, asking her TO in
tercede with her father to take up his
application for pardon. He says he is
not guilty.
Terrill says that letter written to the
President by his daughter Cora was in
tercepted by Peyton Gordon, member
of the White House staff, who wrote her
that such letter could not reach the
President
Terrill was born in Illinois 81 years
ago, and became Populist in Kansas
in 1885 while selling patent medicines.
When Oklahoma was opened he joined
the rush He was member of the first
legislature during the reign of the deaf
speaker. Artie Daniels. Once Daniels
ignored Terrill's motion, whereupon Ter
rill drew two revolvers. Daniels put the
motion and it was carried.
Terrill sought to remove the territorial
capital from Guthrie for fancied slight.
Later he wrote the criminal code for the
territories, under which he was the first
man sentenced He was sent to Kansas
prison, but was returned as insane,
though the Oklahoma authorities say he
Is merely stubborn. His appeals in the
higher courts have failed. He conducts
his own case in every proceeding, and the
belief in Oklahoma is that the hansans
declared him insane just to get rid of
him.

Terrible Explosion.

mite bomb, with fuse lighted and about
to explode. was found in hallway on
the second floor. The discovery was
made by a woman who was passing
through the hall, and at first when she
saw the fuse suffering she thought that
somebody had fired the building. She
quickly alarmed the janitor, who OWNED
what it was and reused all the tenants,
who fed in terror to the street.
John Skel1y, Waterman, prevented
an explosion by severing the fuse, which
by that time was within an inch of the
bomb. A policeman carried the internal
machine to the station house, where it
was immersed in pail of water.

dent and Mrs. Roosevelt. The Prince
was bearer of a personal message OF
good will from King Edward to Presi-

a brilliant reception. At night the Brit
ish Ambassador and Lady Durand gave

Not since Prince Henry of Prussia
was a guest OF the German Embassy at
Washington has royal visiter been the
recipient of greater honors than those
with which Britain's Admiral Prince
has been welcomed to the national cap
ital Save for the absence of military
honors the Princes entry to the capital
has been invested with as much cere-
mony as that which made memorable
the greeting to the Prussian Prince sew
eral years ago.

charge of the Roxbury home in which
Miss Geary died after being removed
from the fremont Street resort.
The hunt for the woman was without
result, and it is believed that she left

necessary papers for their extraditior
are approved by Governor Higgins.

Washington, D. c., (SpeeiaD. = The
President issued his proclamation nam
ing Thursday, November 80 next, as a
day for thanksgiving.
The proclamation 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 hardships and privation,
but terrible risk to their lives. In those
grim years the custom grew of setting
apart one day in each year for special
service of thanksgiving to the Almighty
for preserving the people through the
changing seasons. The custom has now
become national and hallowed by imme-
mortal usage. We live in easier and more
plentiful times than our forefathers, the
wen who, with rugged strength, faced
the rugged days, and yet the dangers to
national life are as great now as at any
previous time in our history.
1t is eminently 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 abun-
dant mercies received, should manfully
acknowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solemnly and in good
faith to strive to overcome them. Dur
ing the past year we have been blessed
with bountiful crops. Our business pros
perity has been great. No other people
has ever stood on as high level of ma
terial well being as ours now stands.
We are not threatened by foes from
without. 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, now set apart Thursday.
November 80, as a day of thanksgiving
for the past and of prayer for the future,
and on that day ask that throughout
the land the people gather in their homes
and places of worship, and in rendering
thanks unto the Most High for the mani
fold blessings of the past year, conse-
crate themselves to life of cleanliness,
honor and wisdom, so that this nation
may do its allotted work on the earth in
manner worthy of those who founded
it and those who preserved it.
In witness whereof | have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at 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.

sity and have declared the strike off.

AGAIN PROVOKED BY CASTRO
Venezuela President, In Anger. Stops All
Cable Messages.

Paris, (By Cable).-Advices received
by the Foreign Office here say that the
Venezuelan government suspended the
dispatch of cable messages to the United
States, France and Great Britain for a
day.
The American and British Ministers
at Caracas protested, and the American
Minister also voiced the protest OF
France. The ground for the suspension
was that the Venezuelan government had
not received reply to cable message
sent to an agent abroad. President Cas-
tro attributed the non-receipt of reply
to foreign influences, hence the suspen-
sion, which, it is understood, covered Off
cial dispatches. The authorities here say
the incident is an additional provocation.

Odessa, (By Cable).-Anarchy is ram
pant here.
The population is panic-stricken.
Killing and plundering by bands
formed of hundreds of "loyalists" con-
tinues.
Attacks on the Jews are incessant.
The troops wreaked terrible venge-
ance on the residents of three houses.
from balconies of which shots were fired
by unknown persons upon the soldiers.
The latter Immediately stormed the
houses, and, with unheard-of barbarity,
massacred all the inhabitants.
1t, is persistently asserted that the I'M
known persons who fired on the troops
were disguised policemen, who purpose
ly provoked the troops.
The city is dismal sight. The streets
are filled with Cossack patrols and flying
attachments of the Red Cross, which
follow the bands of murderous rioters.
Many hundreds have been killed or
wounded
The Cossacks eagerly attack the stu
dent militia, which is outrageously try
ing to stem the bands who are mas
sacring and pillaging, principally in the
Jewish quarter. The looters openly di-
vide the goods, the Cossacks in many
cases participating in the proceeds OF
the robberies.
The rector of the university has sent
telegram to Count White, imploring him
to Immediately dismiss Governor Rein
hardt, who is held responsible for the
outbreak, as otherwise a catastrophe is
unavoidable. Count Whites answer has
not yet been received.
The city is in dreadful state of panic.
Even the telegraph offices were closed
most of the day, for the first time since
they opened.
The night was made hideous, bodies
of "loyalists,' with whom the police are
fraternizing, marching through the prin-
cipal streets, bearing national flags, por-
traits of the Emperor and ikons, singing
the national hymn, smashing everything
in their way and looting shops and
houses.
Hospital wagons passed through the
streets necessarily, carrying off the killed,
wounded and mutilated.

that city as having experienced two

policemen and their wretched dupes."
The dispatch says:
"The Jews made stout resistance,
and their successful bravery entailed la
mentable sacrifices. 1t is impossible to
ascertain the casualties, but rumor puts
the number of killed and wounded as
high as 1000, many by bombs, which the
mobs used wholesale. Not until late at
night, when the murderous work had
gone unchecked for hours, were the
troops brought, cordons placed around
the Jewish quarters and quiet somewhat
