Thanksgiving dinner at the Newark Or

Another Thanksgiving Day has
passed into history, but the nations
feast day Of Yesterday will not be
quickly forgotten because of the beauti-
full weather which seemed to inject in
greater degree than usual the spirit of
the thankfulness into the hearts Of
Newarkeis. who despite reports of
money stringency are enjoying the
peace and prosperity.
Early morn saw crowds on the
streets, many on their way to places of
worship to give thanks to Him from
whom all blessings flow" while others
we've intent on missions of enjoyment.
That the homes of unfortunates were
made happy is well known, n those
organizations which yearly make
Thanksgiving Day a happy ray of sun
shine for those of the underworld, found
occasion to practise their yearly char
ity.
The pleasant weather proved the ac-
.uracy of the prediction by Professor
Weiner, of the local weather bureau, and
acted as a sort of elixir to those who
were not as fortunate as their neigh
bors in the enjoyment of health.
The appearance of the thousands who
~promenaded the streets gave every in
dlcation that the people We're bubbling
over with thankfulness, to say nothing
of holiday good cheer. Many simply
walked the streets, intent on spending
as much time as possible in the open
air. Up and down Market street, Broad
street and elsewhere the crowds surged
aimlessly and happily.
The various playhouses in this city
were well ~patronized, both afternoon
and evening, and thousands more went
to New York to theatres there.
Thousands of people had the oppor-
UNITY TO benefit from the generosity
OF others. and a large portion of the
good things, substantial and dainty,
that were delivered from the stores
went to charitable institutions.
Thousands of people who live in
boarding and rooming houses went to
restaurants. which made special efforts
in honor of the day. All the first-class
dining rooms had table d'hote menus
with turkey and game as the principal
attractions, and it was a poor estap5
lishment which did not offer It's
patrons at least some of the joys OF the
Thanksgiving feast. AS a result. every
dining room in the city, big and small,
was besieged by patrons.
For several years the custom of tax
ing the family dinner at a popular
hotel, in or out of town, on Thanks
giving and Christmas has been grow
ing. and yesterday the custom seemed
to be growing. Many people, principal
~ those with small families, went to
New York and filed up on good things
there after seeing plays at matinees
or before going to shows in the evening

to have 1t advertised that he is rep
resentative of Iowa republicanism at
this time. But others on the slate
are said to be equally obnoxious where
they are better known. 1t so happens
that the record of Colonel Temple as
a seryile tool of corporation interests
is so well known that nearly every
one is talking about ii.
1t is expected that before the end
of ten days a definite announcement
will be made either here or in Wash
ington as to the attitude of the two
Iowa senators on the subject. 1t is
known that persons who are deeply
Interested in party supremacy have
urged upon the senators that they owe
something to the people of the state
and to the party and that they ought
not to give coumtenance to program
which means that the dominant sem
timent of the people in support of the
Roosevelt policies Is to be deliberately
insulted.
A good deal of effort has been made
to lead the people, to think that an
agreement has been at some time
reached for the distribution OF the fed
eral patronage; but this is denied I'm
toto by members of congress who say
they have never been consulted. The
agreement. il there is one, has been
made outside of the delegation.

Fred Mccutcheon Seeking to Secure
Wealth Given to Charity.

Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Jan. 9.-District court, in
session here. is to take up an impor-
tant will case this week, in which it is
sought to set aside the bequest to
churches and other public institutions.
An eminent array Of legal talent will
participate in the action brought by
Fred C. McCutcheon, of Holstein, to
break the will made by his aunt, Fan
ME McCutcheon, who died at Cedar
Falls there three years ago, leaving
property valued at about $1,000 to
churches and charities. The counsel
for the contestants is composed of M.
M. White, of Ida Grove, and Mullan &
Pickett, of waterloo. For the propon-
ent Of the will, will be Hemenway &
Martin, Of Cedar Falls: o. B. Court
right, Of Waterloo; w. c. Howell, of
Keokuk, and j. B. Tourgee, of Hol-
stein.
1t will be the endeavor of the plain
tiff to show that Miss McCutcheon was
of unsound mind when she made the
will disposing of her wealth; he will
try to show that her fondness for aid
ing churches and other institutions of
like nature was the outgrowth of an
unbalanced intellect. The case is of
enough Importance to incite the at
torneys to their best endeavors, and 1t
will be holly contested on either side.

In the same Two peflouS lASAc was
received in fees by the various state
officers and boards as follows: In 1901,
$293,119; in 1906, $432,709.
All these figures are supported by
the itemized accounts of the various
departments SO that one may know
exactly where every cent went.
1t has been asserted that a move
ment would be started to curtail the
expenses of state government still fur
Their, based on some of the wild state
ments banded about the past year by
political romancers; but publication OF
the report may change the program.
It will be up to the legislature at the
coming session to determine whether
it shall lay the foundations for an Of
fee building that shall be planned to
relieve the crowded condition OF the
state house or build merely an armory
building that will house only the adj
jutant general and the board of con-
troll. 1t is recognized that the condi-
ton of the state capitol building is be-
coming more crowded each year. 1t
has been urged that the legislature
make an appropriation that would build
one wing Of a building, the other
wings and the main part to be COM
pleted from time to time as needed. to
relieve the condition Of the state house.
The state already owns nearly a
half block just east of the state house
grounds. It is suggested that it pur
chase the rest Of the block, vacate the
alley that runs thru it and locate the
new building in the center of it, hav-
ing the plans drawn for the entire
building, and make appropriations
from time to time towards it's erec-
ton.
Adjutant General Thrift is having
plans drawn for an armory and will
ask the legislature to erect the armory
already owns. The greater part of the
land that the state owns east of the
state house grounds was purchased
with money received from the sale of
the old state armory The plans being
drawn under the directions of Adjutant
General Thrift provide only room for
the armory and state arsenal, and for
office rooms for the board of control.
Each general assembly has been ap-
propriating a small sum with instruc-
tons to the executive council to use it
"for the purchase of land adjoining
the state capitol grounds" This mon
ey has always been used to buy an
other lot or two in the block across the
street from the state house. Only two
lots each with a house on it remain in
the half of that block facing the state
house that is not now owned by the
state. If a state arsenal is built on
one quarter OF the block, it will spoil
the block for any large building. 1t
could only be used for the erection Of
a number Of small buildings.
1t is barely possible that the inaug-
ural may this year be held in the hall
of the house of representatives instead
of in one of the down town opera
houses with it's attendant inaugural
parade Governor Larrabee at one term
was inaugurated in the rotunda of the

awaiting the action Of the grand jury.
which is now in session, and is certain
to return indictments for first degree
murder. The coroner's jury has con-
cluded its Investigations and has def
nitely charged Cullen with the double
crime.
The wife whom Cullen murdered was
his third. She was formerly Mrs. Ell
Iliott, and resided near Nashua prior to
her marriage. The couple had had
many disputes during their few months
of married life, and the stepson, Roy
Elliott, who was large for his age, had
frequently prevented personal violence
on the part of Cullen.
The murderer's motive in sending for
his brother, Charles Cullen. who is a
banker at Warren, ILL.,, is not apparent,
unless he desired him to be present
and take charge of his property after
the murderer had destroyed his own
life, which he was unsuccessful In ac-
complishing. Charles cullen is greatly
shocked at the awful crime of his
brother. The murderer evidently lost
his nerve when he attempted to shoot
himself, as the three bullet wounds In
fiicted on the head did not penetrate
the skull and the man Is suffering no
serious consequences from them.
