A dispatch from Tilton, N. H., dated
November 18th, gives an account OF
the death at that place of Edward H.
Colby, father of the woman who is
now being tried at Thompson Falls for
the murder of A. C. Thomas. Mr..
Colby was a carpenter and machinist
by trade and was GO years old. He
was in poor health before the trouble
of his daughter begun and the shock
received when word reached him that
his daughter was in Jail on a murder
charge and the subsequent worry,
fastened his death. Mr.. Colby and
the mother of Miss Colby were divorc-
ed good many years ago, the latter
re-marrying. Both were to have been
present at the trial in Thompson Falls
this week. Miss Colby's trial COM
menced Wednesday.

Electric Lights

j. F. O'Brien is in receipt Of a
letter from Mr.. D. Coughlin of
Austin, Minn., in which that
gentleman states his desire to
put in an electric light plant in
Roman. In connection with his
son, he has plant in operation
at Scobey, this state, the town
council of that place granting a
franchise, a copy of which Mr..
Coughlin sent to Mr.. O'Brien.
In his letter he says that if Ro-
nan will grant the same fran
chise he will put the plant in
here at once.
1t is a matter that should re-
ceive the immediate and close at
tention of the people of Roman.

water. Let's wake up and get

In the information in which Miss

stated that the circular was "intended
to convey and did convey to the vot-

FREDERICK D. WHISTLER.
Judge A. L. Duncan was mentioned
in the circular as one of the desirable
candidates. 1t is thought that he will
not be qualified to sit in the case for
this reason.
Mr.. Whistler refused to make any
statement regarding the case last
night.
The action is brought under section

says: 1.-The author thereof, and every

"In former years, if housewife was

"Therein lies the secret of present

the holders have made more money
than they ever expected to make.
Still there is no way to make them sell

buyers will pay the advancing prices,

RETURN THANKS
SAYS president

President Wilson has formally by
proclamation designated Thursday,
Nov. 30, as THANKSGIVING day. The
proclamation follows:
"It has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies to US and the nation.
"The year that has elapsed since we
last observed our day of thanksgiving
has been rich in blessings to us as a
people, but the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war. In the
midst of our peace and happiness, our
thoughts dwell with painful disquiet
upon the struggles and sufferings OF
the nations at war and of the peol-cs
upon whom war has brought disaster
without choice OF possibility of escape
on their part. We cannot think OF our
happiness without thinking Of their
pitiful distress.
"Now therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
ihirtieth Of November, as day of
national thanksgiving and prayer and
urge and advise the people to report to
their usual places of worship On that
day to render thanks to Almighty Goo
for the blessings of peace and unbrok-
en- prosperity which He has bestowed
upon our beloved country in such I'M
stinted measure.
"And l also urge and suggest our
duty, in this, our day of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sympathy
of the stricken peoples of the world
upon whom the course and terror of
war has so pitilessly fallen and to con-
tribute out of our abundant means to
che relief of their sufferings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitude towards the
present struggle of the nations than
by contributing out of their abundance
to the relief of the suffering which war
has brought in his train.
ain witness whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to u. affixed.
"Done at the city of Washington this
seventeenth day Of November, in the
year of Our Lord, 1916, and of the in
dependence of the United States the
one hundred forty-frst.
