THANKSGIVING DAY
PROCLAMATION ISSUED At WASH.
INGTON NAMING THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER 20.
SAYS PRAISE is DUE
FOR OUR PROSPERITY
President Declares That Material
Well Being Is Only the Founda-
5 ton of True National Greatness
and Happiness.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The presl-
dent Tuesday issued proclamation
naming Thursday, November 80, as a
day of thanksgiving. The text of the
proclamation is as follows:
7 IA PROCLAMATION.
'The time of year has come when.
In accordance with the wise custom
lof. our forefathers, it becomes my
duty to set aside a special day of
Thanksgiving and praise to the AL
mighty because of the blessings we
have received, and of prayer that
these blessings may be continued.
Yet another year of widespread we'll
being has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history of any
other nation has people enjoyed
more Astounding material prosperity
than is ours; a prosperity SO great
that it should arouse in us no spirit
of reckless pride, and least of all a
spirit of needless disregard of our
responsibilities; but rather sober
sense of our many blessings, and a
resoiute purpose, under providence,
not to forfeit them by any action Of
our. own.
material we'll being, indispensable
though it is, can never be anything
but the foundation of true national
greatness and happiness. If we build
nothing upon this foundation, then
our national life will be as meaning
less and empty as a house where only
the foundation has been laid.
Our material we'll being must be
lived in accordance with the laws of
the highest morality, or else our
prosperity itself will in the long run
turn out curse instead of a bless
ing. We should be both reverently
thankful for what we have received,
and earnestly bent upon turning it
into a means of grace and not of de.
struction.
Accordingly I hereby set apart
Thursday, the twenty-ninth day of No.
vember next, as day of thanksgiving
and supplication, on which the people
shall meet in their homes or their
churches, devoutly acknowledge all
that has been given them, and pray
that they may in addition receive the
power to use these gifts Alright
"In witness whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington
this twenty-second day of October, in
the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and six, and of the indie
pendence of the United States the one
hundred and thirty-first.
(SeaD Theodore Roosevelt.

other special interests. He believes
further that Governor johnson ia en-
titled to reelection on his merits. The
letter follows:
Harris. Mimi, Dot. s. 190s-There

has carried out every promise and
pledge which he made, which were
simply to enforce the laws fearessly
and impartially to protect the inter-
ests OF the state In every respect.
Governor johnson has done his full
share to collect the money due the
state from those who had unlawfully
cut timber on the states lands. Ho

this would be done. and he has made
his promises in this respect good. II

Chicago. Oct. 24-Thc sensational
contes, Of the will OF Thomas III.
Wickes, late Pullman car magnate,
ended in Judge Honore's court Tues
day when the will was sustained by
verdict of jury which declared
Wickes sane when he cut off his own
children and d grandchild and left the
bulk OF his estate to nephew, Hugh

was reached after six hours d.libera-

jammed the courtroom. The jury took
only four ballots in reaching its ver-
dict.
Will Appeal Case.
William p Black, attorney for the
contrasting heirs, announced in court
that the will contest would be carried
to a higher court. He entered for
NAL motion for an appeal and declared
that the Wickes children would not
give up the fight until the will is or
dered broken and the elder Wickes
declared insane when he made the
testament, February Is, 1904. Wickes
nephew, Walden. chief beneficiary un-
der the will which disposed OF an
estate worth $240,O0O, was in court
when the verdict was read.
The verdict means that Thomas II.
Wickes will continue to receive only
$500 a year from the 100000 estate
left by his father and that the daugh-
&or fhn II
on the 100000 which by the terms of
the will has been placed in trust for
them. Walden, who was nephew Of
the testator and who for years acted
as private secretary to the late rail
road man. will receive the $4,000 left
him by his uncle.
The verdict also means much to a
number of charitable institutions in
Chicago. The will provides that if
either of Wickes' daughters dies with
out leaving children the Home for
Destitute and Crippled Children shall
receive $25,0O0, or one-fourth of the
fund set aside for the daughters, and
another fourth shall go to the Chi
cago Orphan asylum.
If the other daughter shall die the
remaining $4,000 shall he divided
equally between the Old Peoples home
and the Home of the Friendless. The
trial of the suit included much sen
sational testimony concerning the
matrimonial exploits Of Mr.. Wickes
who was married three times and as
many times divorced.

"Mr. Jacobson's record in the legis.
lature and his public service were his
platform. 1t is we'll known that had
he been nominated and elected he
would have carried out the policy OF
Governor Johnson against the timber
trespassers and against those who at
tempt to evade paying their fair
share of taxes. The corporate and
railroad interests we're sufficiently
strong to defeat him for the nominal
ton. The plain citizen. the independ-
ent voter, the person who has no spe-
cial interest which he desires pro.
noted will favor Governor Johnsons
reelection. Republicans can, without
losing their party standing. unite in
supporting him, and when he shall
have served his second term the Re-
publican party ought to be wise
enough to select standard bearer
who can be truly representative Of
the progressive spirit of the Repub-
lican party in Minnesota"

that Sanpdoint was the only town In !.
