Thanksgiving Proclamation.

President Roosevelt has issued his an
nual Thanksgiving Proclamation, as fol-
lows:
The time of year has come when, in ac-
cordance with the wise custom of our
forefathers, it becomes my duty to set
aside special day of thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty because of the
blessings we have received and of prayer
that these blessings may be contin-
ued. Yet another year of widespread
wellbeing has passed. Never before in
our history or in the history of any other
Nation have the people enjoyed more
abundant material prosperity than is
ours. A prosperity that is so great that
it should arouse in us no spirit Of reck-
less pride, and least of all, spirit OF
needless disregard of our responsibilities;
but rather sober sense of our many
blessings and resolute purpose, under
providence, not to forfeit them by any
action of our own.
Material wellbeing, Indispensable
though it is, can never be anything but
the foundation of true national greatness
and happiness. five build nothing upon
this foundation then our national life
will be as meaningless and empty as a
house where only the foundation has
been laid. Upon our material well-being
must be built an upper structure of in
dividusl and national life, live in ac-
cordance with the laws of the highest
morality. or else our prosperity itself
will, in the long run, turn out curse in
stead of blessing. We should be both
reverently thankful for what we have re-
ceived and earnestly bent upon turning
it into means of grace and not of de-
struction.
Accordingly, hereby set apart Thurs
day, the 29th day Of November next, as a
day of thanksgiving and supplication, on
which the people shall meet in their
homes or their churches, devoutly ac-
knowledge all that has been given them
and to pray that they may, in addition,
receive the power to use these gifts
Alright.
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 22d
day of October, in the year of our Lord
one thousand nine hundred and six, and
of the independence of the United States
the one hundred and thirty-first.

Recovery of shotts' Team Probable,

A dispatch from Clarion to the Derrick,
under date of Monday, Goth inst, states
that the recent arrest of persons near
Edinboro, Erie county, is likely to lead
to the recovery of the team of horses
stolen from Amos Shots, near Tylers-
burg on the night of Sept. oath. The dis.
patch states that "some time ago several
hundred pounds of cheese we're stolen
from a factory at Edenboro; search
warrant was issued and officers visited
the home of the Tallmans, arresting
Eugene Tallman, his mother and his
wife and Charles Thomas. The cheese
being found hidden in the brush near
their home. Some harness and other
goods were also located at that time, The
Erie county officials went through their
records and learned that team of horses
had been stolen from Amos Shots, OF
Tylersburg, Clarion Co., and that several
sets of harness mad been stolen from the
shop of Iseman Brothers, of Clarion.
These men were notified and part of the
property found in possession of the Tall
mans has been identified as their goods
by lseman Brothers. Shots team of
horses were separated and we're found 25
miles apart and the buggy was also
found. 1t is said that Thomas has bad
criminal record, and that Tallman has
been in court several times for chicken
stealing. The Clarion county men have
sworn to informations charging the Erie
county suspects with stealing, or being
accessories to stealing team and buggy
and harness from Shots and harness
from the Isemans. The theft of Shots
team was characteristic of the old meth
DDS. He visited his barn early one
morning and found his team and buggy
gone. He called neighbors by means OF
the rural telephone and they took up the
trail learning that the team had been
driven at top speed through settlements
on the road from Tylersburg TO Tionesta.
The trail was lost near Tionesta.

75,7OO or near
ly fourteen and one-half m lies of roads.
Tho county co-operated in all the above
petitions, agreeing to pay an equal share
with each district of the cost of recon-
structing the roads.
Plans and specifications were prepared
covering the construction Of 1881 feet OF
road, IL feet wide, in Tionesta Township,
extending from the line of Tionesta Boro
on river road to Hickory Township line.
Bids were received at the State Highway
Department for 20 days prior to August
4, 1906, and the following proposals were
submitted:
w. II. Lyons, Harrisburg, Sl5,0s6.65
Nelson Construction Co.,
Chambersburg, Pa, 14.352.8S
X. A. Bigley, Franklin l2,443.25
Jonn l.. Ham, Jr., Frank
lin, Pa, 1855 Al
The agreements, which must be en-
tered into between the State, County and
Township before a contract can be
awarded, were signed by the proper au-
thorities and the contract awarded to r.
A. Bigley, of Franklin. Pa. The States
share of the cost of this road will be
about SO, 1924.
The roads covered by the other three
petitions are described as follows:
Twenty-Five thousand feet of road, In
Tionesta Township, extending from the
line of Tionesta Borough, thence along
the Tionesta creek road to the line OF
Green Township.
Twenty-six Thousand feet of road, in
Green Township, extending from Tio-
nesta creek road leading from Tionesta
to Kellettville, at Tionesta and Green
Township line, along said road through
Nebraska to Kingsley township line.
Twelve thousand seven hundred feet OF
road, in Tionesta Borough, extending
from line of Tionesta Township at the
north line of Elm street to the east line OF
said Borough and from Elm street west
to the Allegheny river bridge.
The amount of money available for
road building purposes in Forest County
until June l, 1907, is SS,Sl4.36. The 1907
1908 apportionment, amounting to about
S5,3l6.93, becomes available on the first
ofnext June, making total of Sl4, 1923
for use until June l, 1908, at which time
the 190S-1909 spportionment, amounting
to about $5,3l6.93 falls due, making a
total sum of about Sl9, 1892 available
until June l, 1909.
At an average cost of $1,000 mile it
will require an expenditure of $4,000 to
construct the fourteen and one-half
miles of roads covered by the above ap-
plications, the States share of which will
be about 1000. AS Forest County's en-
tire apportonment amounts to but Sl9,-
1892, this leaves deficiency of about
S67, ,55l.7S, and unless the next Legisla-
ture appropriates a substantial Good
Roads Fund, it will be impossible for the
State Highway Department to undertake
the construction of all the above roads,
not taking into consideration the appll-
cations which may be made by the vari-
Gus districts in Forest County during
1907, 1908 and 1909.

ACCEPT DRAGo DOCTRINE.
The Rio Conference viii Recommend
1t to The Hague Tribunal.

Rio de Janeiro. August 22.-The In.
ternational American conference today
adopted with slight technical modifi-
cation the Mexican convention relative
to the exercise of the liberal profess
sions.
The resolution recommending the
submission of the Drago doctrine on
the matter of the use of force Tor the
collection of public debts to The Hague
tribunal was adopted unanimously.
The preamble states that no definite
conclusion was proposed by this con-
ference, composed exclusively of rep
resentatives of American countries,
but that the principles In question
should be passed upon by an assembly
composed of representatives of all ma.
lions, as the principle affects the In
ternal and sovereignty rights of the ma
tions. The resolution further expresses
the opinion that the declaration should
be extended to cover all controversy
having pecuniary origin. The session
recommends that the government
represented In this conference con-
slider the point of inviting the second
conference of The Hague tribunal to
consider the question of compulsory
collection of public debts, and in gen.
eral means tending to diminish he
tween nations conflicts having exclu-
sive pecuniary origin"
The report of the committee on loca,
tion of the next conference will adhere
to the proposition for the choice of
Mexico City for the next conference,
but 1t will be accompanied by rec
ommendation in favor of Buenos Ayres
for the conference of 1910, the cen
tenary of several of the South Ameri-
can republics.

NEVADA ORE PROPERTIES
SHOW LARGE INCREASE

Goldheld New, August 2.-(speeial.)-
Holders IN southern Nevada mining Sc
curities have made from twenty-five to
forty million dollars during the last
month. Since July Is. when stocks We're
probably at low ebb, gradual advance
has been noted. until today the average
level of prices approaches that of April
L. the day before the San Francisco ca
tastrophe. The New York, San Francisco,
Goldheld, Philadelphia and T'1ttsburg mar
kets show exceptional strength. Brokers
find 1t the most difficult work to fill buy
ing orders with limits. Everyone seems
to be on the buy. It now looks as If the
great record for August, 1899. at Colorado
Springs, which marked the pinnacle of
the stock boom IN Cripple Creek securi-
ties, Is sure to be surpassed. Every day
record advances of from 3 to 10 points
in leading securities Manhattans and
Goldfelds seem to have the call, although
there has been great activity in Bullfrog
and Tonopah stocks of known merit.
Neyada's rehabilitation as the greatest
mining state in the union Is IN full swing,
although It may hardly be predicted that
the meridian will be reached for several
years. The volume OF business on the
San Francisco and Goldheld exchanges far
exceeds that of any previous summer in
the history of trading in southern Me-
vada mining shares. Orders are pouring
in from the east, north and south, and
every one seems intent upon acquiring

LAST APPEAL
OF Horace Hood, Candidate for State
Auditor, to the People.

Montgomery. August 22.-(speeial )-Hor-
ace Hood, candidate for state auditor.
has issued the following as his final ap-
peal to the people of the state for their
suffrage in the August primares
Il am opposed to any ring at the state
house trying to name state officers.
II am opposed to public officials every
four years parceling out the offices among
themselves In the face of the oonstitu-
tional inhibition. which says that no state
officer shall succeed himself
Both of my opponents are now holding
lucrative offices and have been through
two or three administrations.
They want TO hold one
IF the offices are good things they
ought to be passed around. If not, it is
wrong to force them On good men eter-
nally.
Abuses grow up when one set of Of
fieers are long continued in power.
The formers of the new constitution
wisely forsaw the danger of an
office oligarehy and made state officers
Ineligible to succeed themselves. and yet
there is a disposition among elective and
appontive offices to evade the spirit of
the constitution by running for some other
office in the state capitol.
Frequent changes purifes the politl-
cal and official atmosphere around state
capitols.
A governor of Alabama left the state
and was absent for nearly twelve months
and drew regularly his salary, 5000 In
round figures, in plain violation of the
constitution, which declares that no
money shall be paid out of the state
treasury except by appropriation of the
legislature. and the legislature appropri-
ated 5000 and not $4,000 for the governor.
and yet $4,000 was drawn out.
IF had been auditor ! would not have
drawn the warrant for the extra salary.
DO you want a change?
IF So vote for me.
II believe the railroads should pay their
full proportion of the tax burdens of the
people, and to this end | would notify
every probate Judge and tax assessor In
the state, when the board of assessment
met, to meet with it and be heard | be-
1ieye the people should have the same
notice TO appear before the board as the
railroads. This Is simply square deal.

When seen today about the yellow fever
situation in New Iberia, La, State Health
Officer W. II. Sanders said: It see moth
ing to do but wait until the situation
clears up. II It is a case of yellow fever
there have certainly been other cases. If
It is not case of fever of course there
has been no source of infection so far as
the negro patient is concerned. We are
bound to accept the diagnosis, however,
as it is made by men who know about
such things, and await developments.
The doctor said that he had not heard
from Health officer 1rion of Louisiana
today, but was expecting to, In which
case he would know better how to act
Il am not uneasy SO far as Alabama Is
concerned" said the doctor. as It would
hardly be possible for the case at New
Iberia to get this far before cold weather,
no matter how well it was spread"
The doctors have been puzzled how
ever, to know where the case came from
and disturbed that they have not been
able to locate its source. As soon as it
can be told where the trouble Is 1t will
be easy to handle it. DIR. Sanders has
the greatest confidence in the honesty anu
watchfulness of DIR. Irion and has nos
fear but that he will take every preeau-
ton to protect the sister states and out
lying territory.
