New Orleans, Louis.,-A cable.
gram from Panama says:
Passengers arriving here report
that a reign of terror exists through
out the portion Of Nicaragua control
led by President Zelaya. Government
troops are rounding up every person
suspected of sympathy with the revo-
lutionists. Persons suspected are ex-
ecuted without trial. More than 500
men suspected Of revolutionary SYM
pathies have been shot and the bloody
work continues. Houses are ransack-
ed by Zelay's soldiers in search Of
incriminating evidence and when re-
sfstance is offered the houses are de-
stroyed. Women relatives of revolu-
tionary sympathizers have been sub
jected to the most horrible outrages.
'The refugees declare it is time for
the civilized powers to forcibly inter-
venue and end the atrocity."
Washington.-The cruiser Vicks.
burg has been ordered to proceed in
all haste to Corinto and the gunboat
Des Moines will proceed at once to
Port Limon to observe events there
and report the situation at that point
by wireless.
The meeting between President
Taft and the new minister from Nj
caragua, Isidore Hazera, has been in.
definitely postponed.
The news as to the two Americans
reached the state department from
the American consulate at Managua
and it stated that her capture had
been followed almost Immediately by
death sentence. The consul imme-
diately appealed to President Zelaya
to commute their sentences and his
answer was. II will see.' Later. on
further appeal, Zelaya said: "The
sentence was final"
The action of the Nicaraguan gov.
ernment in ordering the execution of
the two Americans without trial Of
any sort is likely to result in this gov
ernment talking drastic measures to
prevent repetition and President Ze-
laya will be held to strict account
ability.
President Taft, upon the receipt Of
this news, was so incensed that he
Immediately announced he would have
no communication whatever with the
new Nicaraguan minister and that Of
fetal was promptly so informed.
At the Nicaraguan legation it was
stated that no news of the execution
of the two Americans had been re-
ceived from the Zelaya government.

DAY TO GIVE THANKS
GOV. EsERHART ISSUES HIS
FIRST PROCLAMATION.
SETS NOVEMBER 25 AS THE DAY
Says We Have Abundant Material
Reasons For Returning Thanks
This Year.

st. Paul.-Governor Adolph o. Eber.
hart issued his Thanksgiving procla-
nation, naming Thursday, Nov. 25,
as the day of general praise and
thanks. The document, which is the
first by the new governor, reads:
"The people of this state are ever
mindful of the source from which
come all their blessings. Cosmopoli-
tan as they are, blending here the
blood, the heart, and conscience of all
that is best in old-world civilization,
they approach the Thanksgiving period
with sincere appreciation that "All
good cometh from on High"
"Of material reasons for spiritual
thanksgiving and praise there are
abundant causes-our unity as a peo.
pie, our enjoyments of peace, our in
creasing opportunities for industrial
advancement, our splendid school
system that guarantees to every child
the right to liberal educational advan-
tages, our peaceful journeys in the
direction Of higher ideals of civiliza.
tion and society. These are blessings
that our people will do well to remem-
ber and to raise their voices in praise
and gratitude therefor. Let us each
and everyone, whether in the quiet of
our homes or in the places of public
worship, give thanks to Almighty God
for these, our privileges and blessings,
and with fervent resolution and rev.
erent mien let US justify the faith of
our fathers by consecrating ourselves
anew on this autumnal day to service
in the cause of the Great Giver.
Thankful, indeed, that fire and
flood have not devastated our domin-
ion. that public health and public
morals are both on high plane, that
our harvests are not only bountiful,
but our products command a premium
in the marts Of the world, we of Min
nesota should give thanks for these
signs of the heavenly benefcence and
devote ourselves to works of highest
attainment. not forgetting that through
service to others is the road to indi-
vidual happiness and the accomplish.
ment of the ideal.
"Now, therefore. l, Adolph o. Eber-
hart, governor of the state of Mime
sofa, by virtue of the authority vested
in me by the laws of the state and
the custom honored since the admis-
sion of the state to the union, do here
by appoint Thursday, the 25th day of
November, in the year nineteen hun.
dred and nine, as day of general
Thanksgiving.

MlNNEsoTA's WEALTH LEArs.
Bank Deposits Increase 3so,ooo,ooo in
Two Years.

The most remarkable statement OF
financial conditions in the Northwest
that has ever been published is con.
tanned in a compilation made by the
Security National bank, Of Minneapo.
lis, copies of which have been placed
In the hands of all the leading finan.
ciers Of the country.
1t discloses that the bank deposits
of Minnesota have increased in two
years over $so,ooo,o0o; that the bank
deposits of Iowa, in the same period,
have increased almost 100000. 900, and
that the deposits of North Dakota and
South Dakota show, respectively, in.
creases of $19.000.000 and $25,000.00o
In the two.year period.
Such showing of potential wealth
in the Northwest is q surprise even to
financial men who have followed the
developments in all lines of activity
For. the last year or two the North.
west has been in the position of q
money lender, it's money has sought
investment in other sections and few
demands have been made upon the
East for the financing of Northwest
ern enterprises.
The reason is manifest in a study
of the comparative tables prepared by
the Security National bank. The fig.
ures show the deposits in state and
national banks on about Sept. 1, or as
near that date as the bank call will
permit. For the four states named
the total deposits at the beginning OF
September, 1909, are as follows:
Iowa, $372,575, 900; Minnesota, $685..
94S,000; South Dakota. $78,830, 900:
North Dakota, $58, $1,000. The de.
posits in the four states exceed $780,.
100000.
Tremendous Development.
A thorough appreciation of the tre.
mendous development in the North.
west in the last few years is secured
by an examination of the comparative
tables for the four states accompany.
ing which show deposits for a period
of II years. The steady growth that
marked the earlier years has been fol
lowed by a jump in deposits during
the last two years that almost ex-
ceeds belief. Minnesota's deposits in
creased $74,000,O0O and Iowa's $76,.
100000 in the last year. This increase
was accompanied by only a normal in
crease in the number Of banks.
The Northwest is now in position
where it finances its annual crop
movement practically without outside
financial help. It is apparent from
the inquiries that are being directed
toward the Twin Cities by outside in.
vestors of capital, and the interest
manifested in the Northwest by the
greatest masters of industry and
transportation in the country, that
new riches are to be poured into the
country tributary to Minneapolis, in
the shape of increased railroad devel.
opment and added industrial activi.

GRAIN GRADING AGAIN UP.
Minnesota Methods Once More Sub.
ject Of Inquiry in Washington.

Observation-Disclosures methods Of
grain grading are again the subject of
inquiry at the hands of the depart
ment Of agriculture. Reports have
recently been received in Washington
which, it is understood, go in detail
into the efficiency of the methods of
sampling now employed under state
inspection in Minnesota, and of the
system of sieving for dockage, where
by the percentage Of foreign matter in
the grain is ascertained.
No explanation is given as to the
use to which this material is to be-
put. but in case the federal grain in
specti0n bill, is again brought up, the
material will probably be used in con-
gress. The work of the government
laboratory established in Minneapolis
some time ago has supplied the de-
partment with great deal of mate.
rial, which, it is claimed, upholds the
demand for more careful grain
grades.
The bureau of grain standardization
is working upon the problem of secur-
ing grades for grain based more near
ly on what they think are the relative
merits of the various factors involved.
Test of the food value, the flour value
and the baking qualities of various
grains are being made at Fargo.
There is every prospect that the
McCumber federal inspection bill will
again be pushed in congress in the
coming session. Secretary Wilson
has indorsed federal inspection and
It is probable that the agricultural
department, If called upon. will be
prepared to submit considerable ma
terial to support the measure.

USE LONG-LIvED PLANTS

Flower lovers ought not to forget to
give some attention to perennial plants
and their cultivation Chip dirt from
around old wood piles is excellent to
put about these plants as a mulch, and
it Is usually coarse enough to be of
value in keeping down the grass and
weeds.
Peonies are not rapidly growing
plants; they may be planted either in
the spring or fall, and when once set
do not meddle with their roots after
making a good growth, which takes
at least two years. They will reward
the owner with rich colored flowers.
The hollyhock many have discarded
to make room for something new, be-
cause 1t is not the fashion The tall
growing varieties of the hollyhock are

very effective when planted along
fences or in front of old wood piles
