Noticing in your Saturdays weekly
an account of the first Thanksgiving,
which was very interesting, we wish
to say we notice Thanksgiving
which date back quite a number of
years before that date, an account of
which may be found in the Bible in the
book of Nehemiah, the eighth chapter
and tenth verse, when the prophet
said unto the people, go your way,
eat the fat, and drink the sweet and
send portions unto them for whom
nothing is prepared, for this day is
holy unto our Lord" So in all our
Thanksgiving and feast days 1t would
be well to see to it that we do "send
portions" to the less fortunate in imi-
tation of the prophets advice to Gods
people after giving them the law. So
this passage always seemed to me as
the first Thanksgiving day.

was the report of the jury in the case

o'clock, and had found verdict at
1880 o'clock last evening.

Mitchell read the indictment and stat
ed that the state was prepared to show
that the defendant had been guilty of
the charge of prostitution. Attorney

Adams woman, announced that he was
prepared to show that his client was
the sole support of her aged parents
and that she was innocent of the
charge. Among the witnesses to be OK
amined are Night Captain M. Mier,
Officers, G. Souders and w. Riggles.
The jury hearing the case is composed
of William Heather, F. w. Broich,
George Davis, George Deitch, E. ].

Mt. Pleasant high school students
assembled yesterday for the first time
IN the new fifty thousand dollar high
school building which has just been
completed. The new structure is a
model of it's kind and contains every
modern improvement for the benefit
and comfort of the students. Beside.
a splendfdly equipped domestic science
department., in the southeast wing Of
the building is a girls gymnasium in
which regular classes will be held in
the future and credit very probably
will be given for this work. This i.
something new for the high school

enrolment this year than for some
time past.

Pleasant Commercial club, the Iowa
Ditching company has been moved

young, without doubt has great fu-
ture. 1t has the exclusive r .nfacture
of an automatic steam ditching ma
chine. and but one other of its kind
has ever been invented. This machine
is the invention of NJ. L. Paulter of
stockport. 1t is q massive affair and
will weigh some fifteen or twenty tons
fully equipped. 1t has been tried I'M
der almost every known condition, and
in every kind of soil fully justifies the
inventors ideas. The output of the
company when it is housed in the new
building here will be about twelve ma
chimes per annum. Last night at a
meeting of the stockholders in this city
it was voted to amend the articles of
incorporation and increase the capital
stock from $4,000 to $4,000 Work

sional stage scenery artists in the
country has turned out, for this build

Inheritance Tax Just.

One of the strongest reasons that has been advanced in favor of the inheritance tax is the payment of anywhere from one to a million dollars to the state of New York by the Hartman estate.
 Such an amount can be paid easily by the estate without being felt, and when Mrs. Hartman has finished with the vast treasure left by her husband, her heirs can with equal ease pay another one or two millions tor the privilege of having a stupen- dous fortune come to them without effort on their own part.
 It is but just tribute to state that under it's protection permits the accumulation of such fortunes.
 It presents no question of burden some tribute levied upon those who are slaves to circumstance and whose very eXlstance IS a struggle against an adverse fate.
 There is strong argument in favor of the inheritance tax in that the heirs are charged with fortunes not of their making, and there is no injustice done by the state exacting a tithe of the bequests for the use of the government.
 In the course of the development of the tax idea, the country must in time come to an acceptance of the pri- mary doctrine that those most able to do so must bear the burden of government. Arkansas Democrat.

Curing Cold in Advance

We get sick because we are too lazy too keep well, according to Dr.
 Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home Companion for october. We are alaways looking for short cuts to health. Of reputed cures for coughs and cold, he says:
 Their name is literally legion, for hardly a drug can be mentioned, hardly a substance discovered. which is capable of either being swallowed or inhaled, that has not been recom- mended as a cough remedy. Eight tenths of all colds are mild infections, which run their course until the body has time to produce an anti toxin or antibody to stop their fu- ture ptogress. As this process is reasonably healthy individuals IS usually carried out in from four to six days, anything whoch happens to be given in that time stands fair chance of getting a reputation as a cure.
 The only sure cure for colds and coughs is to avoid the infections and foul air of ill ventilated rooms and buildings in which they breed; to keep the body toned up to fighting pitch, by cold baths and an abund- ance of fresh air, especially in the bedroom; and if the infection does get foothold to assist nature in her fight against it by rest in the open air, and promoting eliminating through the skin, bowels and kid neys.
 Tn fine, don't tinker with symp- toms; look for the cause, and re- move it. Don't try to lock the stable door after the horse is stolen, but train your horse to bite strang- CTS. Attack is the best defense. Keep your body at good fighting weight, and you can defy disease. Sunlight, food, fresh air and exer- else are the only cure-alls known. Don't worry about disease and what to take when you're sick, but work for health" !"

No Time for Alarms.

With the sun, the moon, Saturn, Mars and Venus all trying to pull the earth apart like a free-stone peach, or stretch it into football to demonstrate the unmeasured forces of the universe, the humorous mys- tery of our brief existence is brought home to us all as a part of the day s news. Happily it is as a part of the days news that we regard such things in this Twentieth Century which isn't the Twentieth Century at all, but the inestimable millionth and only called the Twentieth through the audacity of human necessity.
 Impulses of frightfui force jingle through the earth beneath our feet, interfering with our vastly import ant business and personal affairs and we are momentarily annoyed but pleasantly tolerant of the vagaries of the Infinite, and for explanation we glibly quote from somebody somewhere who says Its the Au- rora Borealis P At the back of our heads we know, of course, that the Aurora Borealis is symptom not a cause, and that therefore the answer might as well be from nobody at nowhere, for it is not an answer at all. But it suffices.
 This mildly interested but wholly unalarmed state of mind is forum ate one, vast improvement over that of the old days when our for bears would have besought grotesque images for protection and tried to propitiate the unknown gods. hop ing to secure the amiable attention of the right one by scattering fire of burnt offerings and physical sac rifications. After all, the powers of the universe have long time in which to perpetrate their wonders and we have only limited span for our lesser activities. If the peach cracks asunder or the football flies into space at new tangent, one of these fine days it will happen with everybody attending to business and getting out of life what fun they can, as they ought to, and not skrlk- ing caves, or flattering brazen ser pents or determining the culpability of witches by flinging them into mill ponds with their hands and feet neatly tied and noting their subse- quent Notation. The world has moved. even if it hasn'4 gained in tenacity. Kansas City Star.
