THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
Governor Vessey Calls on People
to Give Thanks

Governor Vessey has issued his
Thanksgiving proclamation which
is:
The absence of the opening
buds of spring; the faded blossoms
of the departed summer; the chill
of lenethening nights and the tang
of frosty mornings all serve to re-
mind us of the approaching end of
the present year and bring again
to our minds our beautiful custom
of national Thanksgiving.
1t is in accordance with this
pious custom, born of the grateful
hearts of our forefathers in the
dim long ago and faithfully OBJ
served by the generations through
the years, and in humble acknow-
legement of the manifold mercies
received from God, the giver of
all good, that l, r. S. Vessey, gov
ernor of the state of South Dakota,
by virtue of the authority vested
in me by law, do hereby appoint,
designate and set apart Thursday,
J November "a, 1910, as a day of
special prayer and thanksgiving,
and recommend to the people OF
the state that on this day we desist
from our various pursuits and
regular business and devote oul
minds and hearts to the solemn ob.
servance of prayers to Him who
guards and directs the destinies OF
men and of nations, whose bless.
ings are now manifest throughout
the state and country.
The sunshine of prosperity has
smiled upon our land and peace
and plenty have been among oul
people and blessed our homes
Civic conditions in our state have
been improved and the plane OF
morality among our citizens ha:
been lifted, for which let us be es
pecially grateful.
Our evident blessings are many
and as we gather about our hearth
stones let gratitude abound anc
may we ever remember thai
Righteousness exalteth nation
but sin is reproach to any
people,"

HER FRIENDS STAND BY HER
Mrs. Nellie Mcmahon is on Trial for
Murder of Attorney Thomas

Sturgis, S. D.-The trial of Mrs.
Nellie Mcmahon for the murder of
David p. Thomas, a prominent at
torney and former United States
commissioner, which will take
place during term of state circuit
court which convened here Tuesday
will be one of the most interesting
in the history of western South
Dakota.
Mrs. Mcmahon is one of the best
known women of western South
Dakota, and has" powerful friends
who will seek to have her acquitted
of the serious charge against her.
AS the result of dispute over the
occupancy of an Office building in
Sturgis she is alleged, on the morn
ingrof July 3O.last, to have gone
to the office of Attorney Thomas
and shot him down in cold blood.
Mrs. McMahon's husband, who
died some'months before the tragic
killing of Thomas, had served as
states attorney of Meade county.
That Mrs. .McMahon now regrets
her alleged connection with the
death of Thomas.e.is indicated by
statements made by:her.in letters
sent to friends after she was placed
under arrest. To one she wrote:

THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving Day is the day
when everyone says he is thankful,
and wants to eat turkey to prove it.
If you haven't anything else to be
thankful for, you can be thankful
you are not a turkey.
Thanksgiving Day was observed
by the Pilgrims, who were thank
full that they had five grains of
corn apiece. In these extravagant
times man wouldn't be thankful
if he had ten grains of corn-which
shows conclusively that we are toe
prosperous. The trusts are doing
a noble work in remedying this
condition.
People have various unreason-
able reasons for being thankf Al
on Thanksgiving Day. Son
men are thankful they took d
wife, and some are thankful they
didn't take two. Bachelor maids

are thankful they are not "horrid
bachelors," and married woman
is always thankful that her husband
has a good wife. 1t is easy to be
thankful if you 60 about it right.
But the thing people are most
thankful for is their money-even
though they came by it. honestly.
The more man has, the more
thankful he is that it isn't less; and
the less man has, the less likely
he is to be thankful because it isn't
more. Be thankful, therefore, that
you haven't too much to be thank.

Mahon borrowed the revolver from
DR.. Richards, a prominent citizen
of Sturgls, telling him that there
had been suspicious characters
about her home. After the TRACE
dy the weapon was returned to the
physician.
The prosecution also will offer
testimony that the weapon was
borrowed between eight and nine
O'Clock the night before the morn
ing of the tragedy and that after
it was in possession of Mrs. Mahon
she acted strangely, walking the
floor all night and being very ner-
vous and exhibiting the symptoms
of an insane person.
Thomas was about thirty-tive
years of age and was considered
one of the best attorneys in western
South Dakota. His father and
mother reside at O'Neill, Neb. Mrs.
Thomas father, g. Ii. Hollings-
worth, is one of the most promin-
ent citizens of Hampton, Iowa.
A big family reunion of the Tho
mas and Hollingsworth families
had been planned for August. All
of the members of the two families
who could do so were to meet in
Sturgis and enjoy what would have
been one of the most notable fami-
ly reunions ever held in the state.
On the morning of his death,
Thomas before he left his home
packed a small suit case, as he ex-
pected to take the noon train for
Deadwood. On his return in the
evening he was to have been met
by his wife and children and all
were to have gone to Hot Springs,
S. d., to spend the Sabbath at that
famous summer resort.

The Oregon Supreme Court.

The highest court of appeals in
this state is composed of five JUS
tices. the senior member OF the
court being dignified by the title of
chief Justice For over twenty
years, to the writer's personal know
ledge, The Oregon Supreme Court
has maintained a high reputation for
perfect integrity, considerable abili-
ty, aud absolute nOnpartisanshiD.
Before entering upon their duties
three of the present justices Were
Republicans and two were prOnOunc-
edly Democrats, but no sooner does
one of these whilOm partisans don
the most expensive judicial ermine,
than 10 and behold, his former par
tisanship disappears for the simple
reason that he has no very good use
for it in his new job. All over the
state they are readily recognized by
people wherever they travel, and il
one of them ever should do any
thing for which he would want to
hide he would fint it very difficult to
conceal his identity anywhere in the
whole state of Oregon. Four of the
justices have terms expiring January
12, 1911, to-wit: F. A. Moore, T. A.
Mcbride, w. r. King, and w. Y.
Slater. Justice Eakin holds one
year longer. 1t so happens that two
Republicans and two Democrats,
speaking in a nominal and nOn-parti-
san sense, will be up for reelection
in 1910. 1t is the opinion of a
large number of not altogether ir-
rational people that it would be
good thing to preserve the dignity
and political independence of the
high Court of Appeals by returning
these gentlemen without opposition.
Whether this will be done or not is
up to the sometime fractions voter
OF Oregon. Now for a little about
,ne men themselves in the order of
their arrival:
f. A. Moore was educated in the
public schools of Iowa, attended the
Normal school at Iowa Falls, read
law at EldOra, came to Oregon in
1877, taught school and was County
superintendent in Columbia county.
Was county judge from 1888 to
1887, state senator from 1888 to
1892 and has been on the Supreme
bench ever since.
Robert Eakin was educated in the
public schools and at Willamette
University, read law at Eugene, was
circuit judge of the eighth district,
composed of Union, Baker and Wal
Iowa counties twelve years and
reached the Supreme bench January
IA, 1907.

The White Motor Car Company,

carefully worked out.
The building is four-story, class
A, reinforced concrete structure, alb
solutely fire proof, containing 40,-
900 square feet of floor space. Ar

Taxicab to $4,000 Limousine, or
purchasing an automobile for any
price from $500 Roadster to d
$4,000 touring car.
The supply department will be
under the direction Of an exper-
fenced and competent manager, car
rying a $4,000 stock of tires, ac-
cessories, auto clothing and supplies.
The repair department, on the top
floor. is complete in every detail,
being under the direction OF a com
petent superintendent, who has di-
vided II into three departments, viz.
Steam, Gasoline, and Electric, each
one in charge of foreman who

of the painting and upholstering de-
partments, which will also be To-
Gated on the top floor. The lower
