The Government Printing Office

The United States has the finest
and largest printing Office in the
world, says Frederick Haskins. 1t
is fitting that this government, when
universal education and individual
enlightment find their best express
sion, should be the foremost nation
in the dissemination of all classes of
governmental literature.
When one goes through the gov
ernment printing office he finds many
wonderful things.
One room has about eighty linotype
machines, the largest number to be
found in single room anywhere in
the world. In another room are melt
ing pots so large that they hold fifteen
tons of molten metal. In another
room presses are found whose COM
bined output is more than 1000, ,0OO
impressions every hour Among all
the eighty-seven presses in the room
there is not pulley or a belt in sight,
each machine being operated by its
own individual motor. The printer s
ink is applied to forty tons of paper
every eight hours. There are card
presses which turn out 500, 900 cards
a day.

Joyous Thanksgiving
By PETER MoNDLoCH.

By PETER MONDLOCH.
Through bleak November's chilly air,
Through autumn's sunshine, soft and
rare,
Through dreary fog, and rain, and
murk,
Through gladstone light and lonely
dask,
A joyous message greets mine ear,
Thanksgiving day is drawing near.
The day when loved friends meet
again
The nought of sorrow, grief or pain
Is granted place within our hearts;
But ev'ry one must bear part
And sing, in tones of joyous cheer,
Thanksgiving day is here, is here
We raise our. thankful songs to Thee
o God, our Father joyfully;
For all the blessings of the year,
For gladneSs, pain for joy and tear;
For haryests, bountiful and free
We render praise our God, to Thee
o may our gratitude be great
AS, from each hamlet town and state
We gathsr round the festal board
To share the food so richly stored;
And may we give Thee thanks indeed
By helping each our neighbor's need.

ERDMAN SAYS he MAY TALK
Declares that Unless Cleared He Will
Tell Of Plots.
REFUSES TO WAIVE HEARING
Says that His Attorney wanted Him
60 Pass the Preliminary Ex-
animation, but He would
Not Consent.

Statements from Frank Erdman. the
prisoner suspected OF attempted dynamlting
that he would fight to be cleared OF the
charge on preliminary hearinS or would
divulge all he knew concerning plots In
Omaha, developed as a sensation Saturday
morning. The prisoner declared himself In
emphatic terms. giving prospects Of wild
sensation in an interview with Detective
Steve Maloney before his hearing was
opened in the morning.
My attorney asked me to consent to
waving this preliminary examination"
said Erdman HE said he wanted to save
all the evidence for me until the trial came
up. 1 told him that wouldn't waive the
examination. l insist on being examined
and II L am not dismissed in the hearing,
] will tell all l know from start to finish"
Two witnesses were examined In the re-
sumption OF the hearing OF Erdman. They
we're Tom Dennlson, the complaining wit
ness, and David Dickinson, q neighbor. The
case was closed for the day at noon, with
adjournment being set TO 1880 Monday aft
ernoon.
Erdruan's actions In the Friday hearing,
In which he cursed across a table at
Dennison, caused notable precaution
against the man. He was searched for
weapons before being brought into the
court room Saturday, and Detective Jim
Donohoe was stationed behind him
throughout the trial.
Mr.. Dennison testified in cross-examna-
ton to the various threats he had heard
were made by Erdman against him. He
menticued the names of Billy Donnolly,
Herman McSurely and DR.. Lee Van Camp
as being those who warned him of the
thraata NV Erdman
The witness denied emphatically that he
had been kept under constant guard by
Detective Maloney In fear Of further posi-
BILE attempts upon his life. Il don't think
there is another man In the world who
would make such a fiendish attack as Erd'
man did," said Mr.. Dennison. Therefore,
as long as Erdman is in jail l have nc
fear and don't need any guard"
Mr.. Dennison further told of informa-
tion he had received that a witness for
the defendant had approached a woman
who Is expected to be called upon to testify
one way or another, and told her to keel
still. Frank is in a lot OF trouble" this
person said, according to Mr.. Dennlson
"You better keep still and help him out"
