The President OF the United

The people, since the observance

The present year, now approac h.

on every hand has brought us to a
new era of good.
Missouri has received her full
share in all things good, and our
state has advanced in many ways.
This is especially true in that of
education and IN the building and
improving OF highways, the greatest
of internal improvements. These
two things are important factors in
the progress and civilization OF any
and have their reflex ac-
ton and influence upon civic, com
and religious life, The
state has been generous In the Civ
tnk OF It's funds to its educational
and eleemosynary institutions, 1t
has strengthened its citizenship and
cared for its unfortunates. Every
of religious, social and
industrial life has enjoyed an ex-
ceptional degree of progress, and
we should show our appreciation by
giving thanks to the Master, the
author of every good and perfect
good.
Now, therefore, /, Elliott w. Ma
ior, governor of the State OF Mis-
souri,, do hereby designate Thurs

1913, as day of thanksgiving and
prayer, and request the people of
this great state to rest from their
labors and return thanks to Al
God for the generous bless
ings we enjoy.

Hensley's Resolution for
Cessation of Naval Rivalry
Meets Popular Approval
From the New York Post.


Washington, October 3l.-Speaker
Champ Clark, Mr.. Mann, OF Illinois,
minority leader, and other House
leaders today joined in approval Of
Winston Churchill's plan for inter.
national cessation of naval cou-
struction for period Of one year.
The occasion for their approval was
the introduction of resolution in
the House Of Representatives by
Representative Walter l.. Hensley,
of Missouri, requesting the Presi-
dent, $50 far as he can do so, hav-
ing due regard for the interests Of
the United States, to use his influence
to consummate the agreement" pro-
posed by Mr.. Churchill. The reso-
luton will be voted upon when a
quorum OF the House is present.
When the resolution came up In
the House, Representative Mann,
while expressing entire sympathy
with its purpose, declared that il
should not be passed until the full
membership OF the House was pre-
sent to give the action weight before
the country aud the world. Speaker
Clark, In ten"minute speech, de-
clared that the present international
rivalry in!naval ornaments is" the
height OF idiOcy," and gave notice
that he proposed to speak on the re.
solution at length at later date,
and to assist in pressing the resolu-
ton for passage through the House
at the proper time.
The Speaker said Germany and
then Japan had been held up for
years past as the "perils" of this
nation when naval appropriation
bills came up. The Speaker also
said 1t was remarkable fact that
only when the nation became rich
in wealth and great In population
was II ever deemed necessary to
make large military expenditures.
Mr.. Clark laid claim to having
been among the foremost In propos-
ing international disarmament, and
said the United States should be
active In putting the Churchill plan
into practical effect. "If any three
nations will agree to II the remain
der cannot stay out of it," he said.
II am not opposed to a navy"
said Mr.. Hensley to-day, "but 1t
does seem to me that those in au-
thority In the great nations of the
world are going wild over the sub

Circuit Court Proceedings

Francois County Circuit Court
opened last MONDAY, Judge Peter
II. Huck on the bench.
The criminal docket being set for
the first week, there were several
pleas of guilty on the first day TO
different infractions of the law.
Among these were:
James Estes and J. l.. Dunlap for
robbery, pleaded guilty and each
was handed ten-years term in the
penitentiary.
Willard Rowe and Henry Wilson,
charged with grand larceny, pleaded
guilty to "A petit degree, and were
each assessed to pay a fine of 500,
to be stayed on good behavior and
payment Of $50 each ON the fine and
the payment of all costs.
Joseph l.. Smith on a plea OF
guilty for grand larceny drew two
year term in the penitentiary.
Zeno Gibson decided that 1t was
no use to deny a charge OF carrying
| concealed weapons, made an open
confession, and a two-years term in
the penitentiary was placed against
him, but the court graciously grant.
ed him parole.
George Ratley, against whom
stands a charge of grand larceny,
was arraigned before the court, but
having no counsel and nor the
means of procuring one, the court
appointed +. a. McEwen and Mer-
rill Pipkin to defend him; whereup-
Oh plea of not guilty was entered
and his trial will come up later on.
Philip Brownski thought a plea of
guilty forcarrying concealed weapons
was the easiest way out, and the court
decided that about 500 would fit the
case. A stay, however, was granted
on the payment of s25 and costs.
Tony Gulette, who had two
charges of forgery against him,
thought best to plead guilty and
take two years on each.

guilty of disturbing the peace was
fined So.

A. Nelson on a charge of embezzle-

etc, in civil cases, some of which
will come to trial during the term
and others perhaps continued.

LIGHTNING FROM FOG BANK
Captain OF Pacific Coast Schooner
Tells of Strange Bombardment
Of His Vessel

Capt. A, Sunderberg of the steam
schooner Wasp, which plies between
Seattle and California ports, reports n
strange experience at sea on August 7.
In a report made to the Hydro
graphic office Captain Sunderberg
says that at 10 p. m, when six miles
east by south of Point Conception,
his vessel ran into thick fog bank
which hung close to the water.
Without the fog rising in the least
violent electric storm broke out. and
for one hour and IA minutes the blan-
ket of heavy mist was pierced contin-
ually by discharges of atmospheric
electricity and vivid flashes of angular
zigzag and forked lightning. At 12:15
a. m, August s.. the steel foremast Of
the Wasp became charged with cleo
tricity from the top down to the spring
stay. Captain Sunderberg says this
was not the usual display of st. Elmo
fire, as the mast gave out loud reports
an if from a powerful wireless appara-
tbs.
While the vessel was bombarded by
lightning which coursed down her
main mast, her otiice and crew did
not venture on deck
