HIGHER LIFE.


Because your heart is sad today
And greNious is your sorrow,
Lift up your eyes to heaven for help;
Perchance great joy tomorrow
May be the measures mcted you
From heavens cxhaustlcss store
Thank God for blessings that are past,
And lie will grant YOU more.
Because one friend you fondly loved
Has proved To YOU untrue,
Pray don't condemn the other friend,
You love, and who loves YOU.
Full we'll we know gold is refined
And cast aside the dross,
Cling close TO the friends SO true,
Don't count the false ones loss.
Because to-day your way seems dark,
And clouds obscure the sun.
Is not an omen other days
Will be with storms begun.
Take courage, heart, and trust the l.or,
And lay aside our sorrow
Bright days are coming, so rejoice,
You may be glad tomorrow.

thanksgiving.
BY the President of the United States
of America:
A procIa nation.
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 pri-
walton, but terrible risk TO their lives.
In those grim years, the custom grew
Of setting apart one day In each year
for a special service of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the people
through the changing seasons. The
custom has now become national and
hallowed by immemorial usage. We
live In easier and more plentiful times
than our forefathers. 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
lime in our history. II is eminontly
fitting that once a year our people,
shoald set apart a day for praise and
thanksgiving to the giyer of good, and
at the same time that they express their
thankfulness for the abundant mcrcicS
received, should maniully acknowledge
their shortcomings and pledge them
selves solemnly and In good faith TO
strive to overcome them
During the past year we have been

ness prosperity has been great No

We should war.
Therefore | now get apart Thursday,
the thirtieth day Of this November, al
| a day of Thanksgiving for the past and

TWO HOLDUPS.

Saturday evening while Mrs. Philip
Werheim and daughter were returning
home from the city to their residence
at 5O2 Adams street, they were stopped
by a.. stranger who snatched Mrs.
Werheim's pocketbook and ran. Mrs.
Werheim at once notified the police
and officers Malone and German went
to the, neighborhood and made an in
vestigation. They went into every
public place in that section but could
find no strangers and are of the opinion
that the job was performed by some
one living "behind the creek" The
pocketbook contained about So 90.
Sunday night occurred another rob-
berry. Jos. Schmidt, who lives in one
of the Single houses overlooking the
flat, came up town during the day and
according to the police got very intoxi-
Gated. He started home at a late hour
in the night and was accosted on
Forest St. by stranger who offered his
services in assisting Schmidt home
The offer was accepted, but instead of
taking Schmidt home the stranger took
him down into the Stewart Lumber
Co.'s yard on the flat and "rolled"
him.
He soaked Schmidt in the eye and
rendered him semi-unconscious. He
then went through the fallen mans
pockets and removed watch and
about 81 in cash and made his escape.
Schmidt lay there for some time before
he had partially recovered his faculties
and his powers of .locomotion had re-
turned. He got up the hill and went
home and the police were not notified
of the holdup until next morning.
Yesterday morning Schmidt's eye was
entirely closed and he was still in such
a befuddled state from the experience
of the night before that he could give no
accurate description of his movements
or of the appearance of his assailant.
He is of the opinion that he was
struck with a club-perhaps of the
water elm variety Whether it was
the same man who committed both
robberies cannot be determined. The
police are watching the movements of
several suspicious characters and it
might be well for our citizens to decline
the proffered services of strangers late
at night when it comes to choosing an
escort. Many man has been divorced
from his valuables by accepting such

LECTURE ON PURE FOODS.


j. q. Moore, of the state dairy and
food commission, was visitor to Wau-
san on Saturday, coming here for the
purpose of making an examination of
food stuffs being sold by stores and
meat markets. He also visited the
farms of dairymen who are selling milk
in the city and made an inspection of
them relative to cleanliness. While
here he promised the Ladies' Literary
club to send the states exhibit of adul-
terated foods here at some time next
month, and stated that j. @. Emery,
state dairy and food commissioner,
would probably be here with the exhib-
1t and deliver a lecture on the subject
OF adulterated foods. 1t is quite likely
that the meeting will be well advertised
before hand so as to get out large
attendance, for the subject is one
which everyone ought to be interested
In for everybody eats. We are not

eating for years, it makes him wonder

residing near Batley, was drowned in
Plover river Friday afternoon. In COM
pany with neighbor named Goreski
he went to the river to fish. They used
boat which was like the affairs of the

bad shape. They were so busy hauling
fish out of the stream that they did not
notice that their boat was fast filling
up with water and it soon sank in mid
stream. Neither were able to swim
but Goreski saved himself by hangin
onto a long pole which was used in
polling the boat. The man drowned
leaves wife and nine children in poor
circumstances. The body was later
recovered. The funeral was held
