President Roosevelt has issued the j
regular annual Thanksgiving' Day
proclamation as follows:
"The season is at hand, when, ac-
cording to the custom of our people,
it falls upon the president, to ap-
point a day of praise and thanks-
giving to God. During the last year
the Lord has dealt beautifully with
us giving us peace at home and
abroad and the chance for our citi-
zens to work for their welfare un-
hindered by war famine or plague.
It behooves iia not only to rejoice
greatlynot only because of what has
been given us, but accept it with
solumn serice of responsibility, real-
izing that under heaven it rests with
us to showth -' t we are to use aright
what has thus been entrusted to our
care. In no othei place and at no
other time has the experiment of
government of toe people by the
people and for the people been tried
on so vast a scale as here 'in our own
country in the opening years of the
twentieth century. Failure would
I not only be a dreadful thing for us
but a dreadfnl thing for all mankind,
because it would mean loss of hope
for all who believe in the power and
the righteousne-s of liberty. There-
fore in thanking God for the mer-
cies extended to us in the past, we
beseech him that he may not with-
hold them in the future and that our
hearts may be aroused to warn stead-
fastly for God and against all the
forces of evil, public and private.
We pay for strength and light, so
that in the coming years we may
with cleanliness, fearlessness and
wisdom do our alloted work on earth
in such manner as to show that we
are not altogether unworthy of the
blessings we have received.
"Now thereiore, I, Theodore
Roosevelt, president of the United
States, do hereby designate as a day
of general thanksgiving, Thursday
the -tith of the coming November
and do recommend that throughout
the lan) people cease from their
wonten occupations and in their
several homes and places of worship
render thanks unto Almighty God
for his manifold mercies.
"In witness I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be aflixed.
"Done at the city of Washington,
this :51st, day of October, in the year
of our Lord, one thousand nine hun-
dred and thri e, and the independence
of the United States the one hun
dred and twenty-eightth.
Theodore Roosevelt,
By the president:

CALIFORNIA
FOR THE WINTER!
Couldn't you arrange your business affirs s as to
permit of your sphndinu a couple of months in Call-
fornin, next widter? ,
California isn't far away. The rate is not hijh.
And there is no place on earth where you can enjoy
a holiday to better advantage.
Elderly people who fear the rigors of the nor-
thern climate, semi-invalids, those who are distract-
ed by the worries and cares of business are going to
California in incrcastng numbers. A hundred thous-
and people spent last winter there. More are going
this winter.
Think the matter over, and then give us an op-
tunity of quoting rates and telling you about our
through car service.

Stove Season at Hand,
Anderson & Company, the north
side hardware company is pleased to
call the attention of the people to
the "Victor'' and "Oxford" steel ran-
ges which they are handling. These
ranges are the best on the market,
built to suit the pocket book of the
middle classes, and every stove is
guaranteed to meet the satisfaction
of the customers. If you need either
a cooking or heating stove don't for-
get to examine the stock of Anderson
Bros., north side. 10-30d3twl
Col. J. W. Gallespie of Lawton is in
the city. He is a full believer in the
gold and copper prospects of the
Wichita mountains, having interests
in a half dozen different mineral
claims in the mountain.s He showed
a Wave reporter an essay on the out
cropping* of the "Eaid Lode" which
shows a gold, silver and copper value
of $10.00 per tou. There may be more
in the Wichita mountain gold excite-
ment than is now thought to be by
old- Rocky Mountain prospectors who
have never given the Wichita moun-
tain prospect much attention. Of
course, every Oklahoman wishes for
a big mineral strike, equal to the
fond hopes and anticipation of those
who are spending their money in de-
veloping those tpines.

CIRCLING THE GLOBE.
Man Tushes a Wheelbarrow on a $10,'
000 Wager.
Pittsburg, Pa. Nov. 9—Pedestrians
on Smithfield street one day last week
halted at the novel sight of a man
pushing a wheelbarrow covered with
cards and a canvas sign. The man
was William J. Gi eer, who calls him-
self the champion overland traveler
of the world, aui whohas just com-
pleted a tour of the United States on
foot in one year nine months and
seventeen days.
As the resultof a wager of $10,000
Geer is trying to walk around the
globe in five years with a wheelbar-
row and trunk weighing 178 pounds,
accepting no money and begging his
way. Geer is a resident of St Paul,
where the wager was made by two
hotel keepers, He left St. Paul Feb-
ruarys, 1902, going westward toCal-
iforna, followed the coast via the
Gulf of Mexico to Boston and came
to Pittsburg via Philadelphia.
Geer has met with many accidents
onlhis journey,several times narrow-
ly escaping with his life. About a
year ago be was attacked by a fam
ished black bear in tbe wilds of Moil
tana, and after a desperate tight kil
led the brute with his hunting knife
His traveling outfit is a wheelbar-
row, bearing a trunk which is cover
ed with all manners of souvenirs.
Geer is followed by a man whose
business it is to se? that the condi
ditions of the wager are adhered
to.
The tourist will leave Pittsburg
overland for 'latnpa Fla. whence he
will go to the Philippines. He is con
fldent that he will clrclc the globe in
six months les* than tAe allotted
time.
L. W. Davis, of Waukomis, who
sustained severe Injuries in conse-
quence of having been kicked by a
horse last week is repor ed to be

Robberts knocks out a good many

use part of the,funds appropriated I*
the use of the agricultural board

of the institute- Robberts declmo*
is that the board has no right to q«r
public |money on local institutes.
Unless the town* where they are t
be held, or the institutes themst^v*
bear the expense of the holding, Hicj

Carl and Otto Koeyer who li«c«
northwest of .Sterling were yesterdaj
arrested and jailed on the charge t

ing in the flelJ when one of «the hou-

hours later. It has been told todaf
that these men also tied a rope U-
