ALL SHOULD GIVE THANKS
Every Life and Every Heart In the
Land Has Some Occasion for
Gratitude.

In their proclamations designating
Tomorrow as Thanksgiving day, the
president and the governors of states
have set forth In dignified and due or

country should give thanks.
But every life and every heart in all
the land has some occasion for special
utterance of gratitude. Formal, Off
cial proclamations from the highest
executive authorities may furnish sug
gestions for equally formal prayers In
churches tomorrow, prayers In &C
acknowledgement of divine favors re.

mourning but reason for thanksgiving

the last is the strongest proof of any

Have Jurisdiction Over Indians.

Mitchell.-The status of the Indians,
so far as they are amenable to the
states laws are concerned, has been
decided by the supreme court in the
case Of the State VS.. Joseph Nimrod,
who was arrested in Bon Homme
county and prosecuted in circuit court.
Judge Trip rendered a decision
which held that the state courts had
no criminal jurisdiction over the In
dams. The case was appealed to the
supreme court, which reversed the
lower court, and established the fact
that the Indians living on reservations
were amenable to the state courts for
the violation Of the criminal laws.
Many violations of the criminal laws
of the state laws have occurred in
past years, and the Indians have not
been apprehended, but the future will
make them more careful.

The Dutch consider the Americans

The eyes of many a weary worker in

that gold Is not to be picked up In

Forged Checks.

Sioux Falls.-The last seen Of Ed
Grundvald and Fred Knochenmus, two
shrewd swindlers who victimized Gar

$3.50 in cash, was at Warren, Mimi,
and detectives now are tracing them
from that place in hopes of soon plac.
ing them behind the bars.
After securing the cash the two men
arranged for the purchase of a $1,000
automobile from a Sioux Falls dealer.
They rendered in payment a check
on a Hardwick, Mimi, bank, but the
dealer vas suspicious and decided to
send a chauffeur in charge of the auto
mobile as far as Hardwick, where the
chauffeur vas to ascertain if the check
was all right before surrendering the
auto. During the journey they stop
ped at Warren, Mimi, and at A
o'clock in the morning the two swim
dlers arose without calling for the
chauffeur and tried to start the ma
chine, but the chauffeur had locked the
magnetic and pulled out the key and
the men could do nothing with the
car, and walked out of town. II

1t is feared the two swindlers vic

Dakota, northwestern Iowa and south
western Minnesota prior to their APP

and that they secured in the aggregate
many thousands of dollars. 1t is

Hints on COOKING Eoos.

Use a vessel with straight sides Ca
quart measure will dol, because II is
easier TO keep water up to the desired
temperature than in a vessel with
daring sides. Have the water boiling
hot. Drop the eggs in and keep the
temperature up to boiling. but do not
let 1t boil. Let eggs remain In the
water eight or ten minutes; the whites
should be jelly-like, not hard. and the
yolk should also be cooked, but not
hard. Cooked in this way. eggs are
more palatable.-Home Department,
