Trains and Street Cars From All
Directions Jammed Full OF
Show Visitors
BIG PROGRAM CARRIED oU7
Cowboy Life on the Western Plains
Indian Life and Warfare and
Col. Cody Himself Seen.

The ever popular Buffalo Bill, with
his Wild West Show and Congress
of Rough Riders of the World, Is
here on the jackson show grounds
once again. after an absence of i've
years, and the big, novel attraction
Is being enjoyed by thousands. This
afternoon the canvass was crowded
to it's utmost capacity and seats were
placed in the aisles.
There is always something fascin-
ating about the scenes and incidents
OF the western plains during the
early stirring days of their re-
clamation, and no other exhibition
on the road pictures them as faith
fully as Col. William F. Cody, known
to millions as Buffalo Bill, in his
great show. He himself was a par
ticipant in many of the most stirring
scenes, and he has gotten together an
exhibition which re-enacts them true
TO life.
Home From Abroad.
Buffalo Bill has been in foreign
lands for five years, with his show,
and his return was anxiously await
ed. And when the announcement
was made that the attraction was to
visit this city sense of pleasure
able anticipation was felt by all
those who had witnessed it, as well
as many who had not.
And everything is fully up to ex-
pectations. Two new features, the
train robbery and the ranch scene,
have been added since the last ap-
pearance in this city, but otherwise
the big attraction is along former
lines. Nowhere may finer horses and
better riders be found than those
with Buffalo Bill, and it is the novel
ty of the show, its difference from
the circus, which gives 1t Its great
charm.
Col. Cody Appears.
The show this afternoon was all
that could be desired. 1t began with
grand review, led by Buffalo Bill,
in which Indians, cowboys, Cossacks,
Mexicans, scouts, guides. japanese
and various military detachments all
participated, the entire making an
assemblage of the rough riders of

DEATHS
Gribble.

W H. Gribble of Currant Creek,
who was taken to the hospital a week
ago to be operated on for appendicitis,
died Sunday afternoon from diphtheria
after brief illness. He was getting
along nicely from the effects of the
operation and would no doubt have re-
covered had no complications arisen
in his condition.
Where the contagion from which
Mr.. Gribble died was contracted is a
matter of considerable speculation, al
though it is suspected that it took
place on a d. and r. G. train on which
he was returning from Denver where
he went about ten days ago with car
load of cattle. 1t is reported, but with
what degree of accuracy we are un-
able to state, that a man suffering
from diphtheria was a passenger in
the same coach with Mr.. Gribble from
Portland to Florence and it is thought

INQUEST HELD AT
SILVER CLIFF ON FRIDAY

An inquest in the case of Mrs. Jas.
Spaulding, who died at Ilse about a
month ago under circumstances that
seemed mysterious at the time, was
held before E. II. Cults, coroner of
Custer county, at Silver Cliff on Fri
day. About fifteen witnesses were
examined, including the mother, broth
er and sister of the deceased, all OF
whom expressed the belief that she
came to her death from natural causes.
After deiberation the members of the
jury returned verdict that the de-
ceased came TO her death from causes
to them unknown. The stomach, which
was taken to Denver for analysis, will
be preserved for year in case 1t Is
decided to make more exhaustive
Investigation into the causes of death
at later date.

NNiIlett.

DR.. b. E. Harl received a message
on Wednesday from Rev. Jos. Frank
lin, pastor of the First Baptist church
at Colorado Springs, apprising him of
the death of Rev. Arthur Willett at
Los Angeles, California, on Sunday of
the current week. Rev. Willett re-
sided here for several years and had
a wide circle of friends and acquain-
tances in this city who will regret to
learn of his demise. He owned a
small ranch on Orchard avenue, Fruit
mere, which he disposed of on going

that he got the disease at that time.

that he got the disease at that time.
Deceased was 80 years of age and
was prominent rancher and stock
man of Currant Creek. Besides wife
and one son, about four years old, he
leaves a father and mother. brother,
two sisters and numerous other rela-
tives to mourn his loss. He was born
in this county and lived here all his
life, his parents being Mr.. and Mrs.
w. NJ. Gribble of Currant Creek.
The burial of the remains of the
late w. H. Gribble, which was to have
taken place at $3.50 o'clock Monday
afternoon, was postponed until 700
o'clock at the instance of the health
authorities, as precaution against
the possible spread of diphtheria, of
which the deceased was a victim. Ar
rangements had been made for priv
ate funeral service at Wilson's under
taking parlors but such a course was
deemed unwise by the health authori-
ties in view of the contagious charac-
ter of the disease from which Mr..
Gribble died and it was dispensed with
The postponement of the hour of bur-
ial created some dissatisfaction on the
part of few of the relatives, but un-
der the circumstances the authorities
could not do otherwise than delay the
interment as matter of public safety.
A brief service was held at the ceme-
terry after the body had been lowered
into the grave.

Ambiguous.

A Washington correspondent who used to run newspaper in Iowa tells how the heavy advertiser of the town once entered the editorial offices and, with anger and disgust depicted in every line of his face, exclaimed:
 That's fine break you people have made in my ad. this week."
 Whats the trouble?" asked the ed itor, in tone calculated to mollify the indignant one

nations. All the Thanksgiving proc.
 lamations ever issued by the presi. dents of the United States are filed
 away in its archives-back even to 1795. when George Washington set aside the 18th day of February, in that year, as date on which the people
 should thank God for exemption from
 foreign war and from insurrection." Consequently. the engraved proclama, ton Is retained by the department flor keeps, and it Is a copy that is sent
 by special messenger to the govern ment printing office, to be put into type. Printed copies are given to the newspapers, or to anybody who wants them; but there must be typewriter copies for the governor of each state and territory of the union, and these are made at the White House and mailed from there.
 It will thus be seen that the issuing of the annual Thanksgiving proclama- tion is, from beginning to end, quite an elaborate piece of business There is no law to compel the president to make 1t, and MT. Roosevelt, if he had so chosen, might have omitted it this year or during his administration. Or, if it should seem proper to him next year, he might choose another day say, the 1st of January-instead of the last Thursday in November. But it is reasonably certain that he will dc neither of these things, for custom holds fast in the bonds of usage the chief magistrate of the nation equally with the plainest citizen.
 AS everybody knows, the celebration of Thanksgiving day dates back to the Puritans. At irregular intervals, after their arrival in this country, they set dates by public announcement for prayer and feasting, in recognition of blessings vouchsafed from on high. Following this example, in the early history of the republic, days of thanks giving were appointed by the president for special reasons.
 But somehow the pious custom fell into abeyance, and for many years there was no national Thanksgiying. until, during the civil war, woman. Sarah Josepha Hale, who edited a woman's paper. and who had been chiefly instrumental in raising s50.OOO to complete the Bunker Hill monument took up the matter, and persuaded Abraham Lincoln to take an interest in 1t. Thus it came about that MT. Lincoln issued a proclamation in 1864 appointing the last day of November of that year as day of prayer and re- ]oicing. Since then the custom has held, and there has been an annual Thanksgiving celebration for the en. tire nation, at the instance of the pres. ident.
 At the White House, Thanksgiving day is always very quietly spent, with. out any special celebration-barring the fact that each married member of the official staff, including the DO. licemen who guarded the premises. re- ceives a fine turkey. Nearly 70 fat birds are distributed by Col. Crook. the executive paymaster, who is him. self an interesting parsonage. ;aas. much as he has been attached to the White House staff. in various capaci. ties, since Lincoin's time. MT. Roose. welt usually has several turkeys. which are sent to him as gifts.-Rene Bache. in Brooklyn Eagle.
