Thanksgiving Catechism.

Where were Thanksgiving services
first held?
In England. during the time of
Cromwell thanksgiving days were
common occurrences.
The discovery of the "gunpowder
plot" in 1905 was followed by a
thanksgiving in England and that ma
ton observed such a day on many
like occasions, the last probably be-
ing a national thanksgiving when the
Prince of Wales, now Edward VII,
recovered from a sefious illness.
Where and when was the first
Thanksgiving observance in the New
World?
The first thanksgiving held in Am
erica was not held within the bounds
of the United States, but on the shore
of Newfoundland, May 81, 1878, at
the time services were held by the
Rev. Mr.. Wolfall, an English minis
ter. He had accompanied an early

HAYES APPEAL PERFECTED.
Will Operate as q Stay of Execution
for Spearfish Murderer,

Deadwood, S. D., Nov. 24.-Attor-
ney r. G. Hayes will serve noticeNof
appeal in the Dunn (Charles A.
Hayes) case today, thus perfecting
the appeal. Mr.. Hayes will leave for
Pierre this evening to get stay OF
execution for Dunn.
Judge Rice states that the perfect
ing of the appeal operates under the
aw, as stay, but thinks as long as
the warrant is in the hands of the
sheriff, that the supreme court is
the proper tribunal to issue an or
der to the sheriff.
This is the first case in which q
stay has been asked after a death
sentence has been passed, under the
new criminal law, which abolishes
writs Of error in criminal cases and
substitutes appeals therefor, and is
somewhat novel. The record is now
complete, save the service of notice
of appeal, which will be served on
the clerk of the courts and the states
attorney today.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Word has
been received here that Tang Shao
vi, high commissioner Of the Chinese
government, has landed in this coun-
try and is on his way to this city.

NO CREDIT
FOR HIM
ROCKERFELLER DENIES HE EN-.
GINEERED CREATION OF
STANDARD OIL TRUST.
SAYS THAT HENRY Nj, FLAGLER
AND SAMUEL G. TODD WE'RE
THE REAL ORGANIZERS.

New York, Nov. 23.-The credit
for the creation of the Standard Oil
trust, which counsel for the federal
government claims still exists as the
Stan -ard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey, vas given by John D. Rocker
Teller. as witness today under cross
examination in the federal suit to
dissolve the Standard Oil Company,
to two men, Henry M. Flagler and
Samuel G. TODD. To those master
architects of the oil combine, Rocker
teller gave full credit, saying that
he was sure that it was not himself
as he did not possess the ability for
so progressive move.
Rockefeller spent an arduous day
on the stand, under the incessant
questioning Of Frank B. Kellogg, the
government counsel. 1t is hoped to
conclude Rockerfeller's testimony to-
morrow, when it is planned to place
John D. Archibald, vice president of
the company, on the stand.
Rockerfeller's examination today
carried him through the period of
the Standard Oil turst and the years
subsequent from 1893 to 1899.
Rockerfellers memory at times was
clear and definite details of the
trust liquidation period but he told
the counsel that he could not recol-
lect many accidents and develop
ments of that time.
Kellogg developed from Rocker
Teller that early in the industrys
existence, the presidents of two rail-
roads, together with the directors,
We're stockholders in the combine.

lungs. He had lost great amount
Of blood. The cutting had appar-

COCAINE CLAIMED VICTIM.
Henry Rcddick, Aged 20 Years, Was
Found Dead in This City Sunday.

A victim Of the dealy cocaine
habit, Henry Reddick, aged 26 years,
a son of Mrs. Sarah j. Reddick, of
Deadwood, was found dead in the
lowlands on the north side of Rapid
Creek, northeast Of the flour mill.
The body was in a nude condition
and had evidently been lying there
from one to three days when found.
A coroner's jury, composed of
Hugh Gum, II. B. Bracket and
Hugh Brown was empaneled and af-
ter hearing the evidence verdict
of death by exposure was rendered.
The mans hat was found near the
planning mill of the Rapid City Lum-
Der company in the west part of the
city, his coat and vest We're not
found and his trousers were dragging
on his feet. 1t seems that at times
he was deranged from overdoses of
cocaine and evidently that time he
wandered around and finally, for
some reason unknown, he undressed
He apparently had waded Rapid
creek and on the opposite side had
craWled on his hands and knees un-
til exhaustion overcame him.
The dead mans mother was noti-
fed and she came to this city Mon
day morning. She testified before
the coroner's jury that he had been
cocaine fiend for about eight years
and that some years in Colorado,
when under the influence of an ov-
erdose of the drug that he was found
nude running up and down the river
bank there.
The remains were buried in
Mountain View cemetery Monday af-
ternoon.

tnat IL was the hrSt Christian sermon
preached in the new world.
When was the first Thanksgiving
proclamation IN this country?
November 10. 1921; made by Gov.
ernor Bradford to the Pilgrim Faith
ers. He announced that since they
had just gathered abundant harvests
of grain and the cold weather had
sent plenty of game to their forests
December 13, 1921. would be OBJ
served throughout the Plymouth col
ony as day Of thanksgiving.
Who signed the first Thanksgiving
proclamation ever issued by Presi-
dent?
George Washington, in 1882.
Who organized the modern Thanks
giving Day, as it is observed in the
United States?
The Thanksgiving as it occurs to-
day, dates from 1864. when President
Lincoln issued a proclamation for set
ting apart the last Thursday in No
vember of that year, as a day of ma
tional thanksgiving.
Each succeeding President has an
nually proclaimed thanksgiving day
which is generally followed by SIM
liar proclamations by the governors
of the various states.
Who makes the Thanksgiving
proclamation?
The President OF the United States.
How is it done?
The President writes 1t out with
his own hand, trying to put in as
much of the spirit of the day as pos
sible. This is not an easy task. He
must avoid repeating expressions
that have been used by preceding
presidents, and yet he must cover
the same ground that they cover.
When he has finished writing 1t out,
1t is copied and this copy is sent to
the state department. One of the
clerks who is good penman writes
the proclamation artistically on
parchment. The parchment is then
sent back to the White House and
the president signs it; after that 1t
is taken back to the state department
where the secretary of state adds his
name; then the great seal of the
state department Is affixed. In order
to put the great seal on the procla-
nation a note from the president is
necessary in which he says: 81 here
by authorize and direct the secretary
of state to cause the seal of the I'm
tied States to be affixed to my Thanks
giving proclamation, dated this day
and signed by me, and for so doing
this shall be his warrant"
What Is done with the proclama-
ton when 1t has been thus written
and signed?
A great many clerks In the state
department are then ordered to make
as many copies of the proclamation
as there are governors of states and
territories. These copies are written
by hand on long sheets of blue pa
per. The state department never
uses the typewriter or any other
means except artistic handwriting
for making copies Of official cores
pondence.
What do the different governors
of the states do when they have re-
celved their copies of the presidents
proclamation?
They then write special proclama-
lions of their own, announcing to
the people of their states the fact
that the president has fixed on such
and such day for the observance Of
Thanksgiving worship and festivities.
