original" Thanksgiving day on the
globe. Then along comes a lo~ng-haired
historian with his array of facts and
or pride receives a shock.
There is hardly a country in the
world which does not give thanks for
one reason or another. Some have bet
ter reasons than others, but they all
claim to have sufficient excuse for being
grateful to set aside one day each year.

too Little.

a cinch, open protests against the fix
ing of the salary of states attorney al
$500 recently by the board of super
visors, holding that the services Of that
official were worth great deal more,
and this, notwithstanding the fact that
the stale pays an additional $500 per
annum.
Record Minus Quantity.
AS has been mentioned heretofore,
Mr. Magills court record is practically
a minus quantity. In the present court
docket listing all the cases now pend
ing before the circuit tribunal, Mr.. Ma
gill's name appears in but one case,
while that of Mr.. Reynolds appears in
$50. Prior to the present term of court
Mr. Magill to the best knowledge of
those about the court house, has en-
tered actual appearance in but one
case, and then his associate did all the
ipleading. This disparity between the
two candidates is not matter of years
n the profession, for Mr.. Magill has
,stonsibly been in the law business
iere for q decade or such a matter.
| Mr.. Magill's position on the salary

with the salary as fixed, asserting it
to be fair compensation in his opinion
for the duties involved.
1t is not altogether improbable, if
the truth were known, that the atti-
tude is similar to that of Mr.. Magill
on the salary question by other county

upon the present state of county

Two ladies'. Miss Belle Reynolds, re-

injured in a runaway accident this
afternoon at 3 o'clock at Seventeenth
street and Second avenue. The ladies
were run down and both sustained
nore or less severe injuries. Miss
Reynolds seems to be the more seli-

sustained internal injuries.
Frightened at Elevator.
John Mcmahon was driving up Six
teenth street when his horse, a small
animal owned by John Looney, be.
came frightened at the elevator being
used in the construction of the new
Pest block. The horse lurched for
word, and its plunge caused one of
the reins to snap in two. Mcmahon
was unable to control the animal. and
j, dashed on across Second avenue.
The two ladies were crossing Seven
teenth street. when the horse struck
them and knocked them to the pave
ment, the rig passing over both.
Are Removed TO Homes.
People who saw the accident hastily
rushed to the two PROSTATE young
women, and NJ. II. Sexton and Others
carried them to the Bengston drug
store, while physicians were summon
cd. e. f. Reynolds, an uncle of Miss
Reynolds, and Electrician George Hill
of the police department, a brother OF
Miss Hill, were soon on the scene,
and the ladies were quickly removed
to their homes.
The attending physicians we're una
BE to state just how seriously the
ladies' are injured. although Miss Hill
is stated to have suffered only bruises
and a severe shock. Miss Reynolds
is considered to be seriously hurt and
possibly sustained internal injury.
Mcmahon jumped from the rig and
managed to control the horse with the
single strap that remained, but not-be
fore the ladies had been run down.
