r>re*l<1»nt Roosovolt N»m«i* Thursday. Wo*
vember as, an « Day of Prayer for llleae
Ing* Material ami Spiritual.
Washington, Nov. 3.—President
rtoosevclt Satnriluy issued his proo-
ninution fixing Thursday, November
IS, as u tiny of iinUonul thanksgiving.
!t follows:
The season Is nltfh when, according to
the time-hallowed custom of unr peo-
ple, tho president appoints a day ns the
■spedril occasion for praise and thanks-
giving to God.
This Thanksgiving finds the people still
bowed with sorrow for the death of a
great nnd good president. Wo mourn
President McKinley because we so loved
slid honored him; and tlio manner of his
dcuth should awaken In the breasts of
pur people a keen anxiety for the coun-
try, and at the same time a resolute pur-
pose not to be driven by any calamity
from the path of strong, orderly, pop-
ular liberty which ns a nation we havo
thus far safely trod.
Yet In spite of this great disaster, It Is
nevertheless true that no people on earth
havo bucIi abundant cause for thanks-
giving as we have. The past year In
particular Inis boon one of peace and
plenty. IVe havo prospered In things
material arid have been able to work
for ourn own uplifting In things Intel-
lectual and spiritual. Let us remember
that, as much as has been given us,
mueh will be expected from us; und
that true homage comes from the heart
as well as from the lips and shows it-
self In deeds. We can best prove our
thankfulness to the Almighty by tho
way In which on Ibis earth and at tills
time each of us does his duly to his
fellowmen.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt,
president of the Untied States, do here-
by designate ns a day of general thanks-
giving, Thursday, the 28(h day of this
present November, and do recom-
mend that throughout the land people
cense from their wonted occupations and
at their soveral homes and places of
worship reverently thank Iho Giver of
all good for the countless blessings of
our national life.
In witness whereof 1 havo hereunto
set my hand nml caused the seal of tho
United Slates to he affixed.

President Roosevelt Will Soon Issue nn Im-
portant Order Affecting Every Employe
of Knrul Free Delivery.
Washington, Nov. I. It has been
practically tlecitleil by President
Roosevelt that lie will issue an order
shortly placing the rural free de-
livery service of the United States
under civil service rule. He wel-
comes the opportunity of extending
the service to a bureau of lh<* post
office department already of ..such
great, iniportanee, and which, if pres-
ent j,Ians an- carried out, will be one
of t lie most important, so far ns the
volume of business transacted, in the
entire government service. There lias
been some talk of creating another
assistant postmaster general’s posi
tion in llie post office department mid
placing all free delivery, both rural
and city, anil its dependent systems,
under such un assistant, to the post-
master general. Such action will re-
quire an net. of congress, and while it
may he taken up ut tHe next session,
it "ill have no bearing at this time
upon the extension of civil service
rules to rural free delivery.

1‘itrlH Cast.
New York, Nov. 4.- -I’rof, 11. Ogden
Doreinus, of the college of the city
of New York, made un explanation
of the way in which the mistake was
made in the burial of Czolgosz, the as-
sassin. It, was intended to till the
grave with quicklime, so that, the
body In a short liine would he de-
stroyed. Five barrels of the lime
were emptied into tho grave, hut a
quantity of sulphuric acid, or vitriol,
nml a large amount, of water were al-
so added. The water and quicklime
would, according to Prof. Doreinus,
produce a heat sufficient literally to
cook the body; then the sulphuric
ncid nnd quicklime would form a
harmless plaster of paris. Therefore,
Prof. Doreinus says, the body is now
roasted and incused in a plaster of
pnris cost, and by no means de-
stroyed us it should have been. 'Nor
is it likely to be destroyed.

In Snnuir.
Manila, Nov. 4.- Advices from Cat-
imlogan, Snniiir, say it is well known
that, in spite of the fact that all ports
of Samar are closed, supplies si ill
reach the insurgents. Most of this
work Is done during dark nights by
small boats from the island of Leyte.
Every available gun limit is now try-
ing to prevent this.
The capture of Luhknn’s commis-
sary has proved a great, blow to the
insurrection, ns it renders future sup-
plies very precarious.
Conditions in the island of Leyte
are very annoying to Gen. Smith. A
largo number of junks are used with
tho express object of aiding the insur-
gents in Snninr, covering the move-
ments of fugitives and landing pro-
visions and clothing.

delivered at his door. The rural free
delivery system will be in operation
over an area of 1,(100,000 square miles,
and 1 his will include all the. inhabited
territory of the United States.” So
spoke Superintendent Maehem of the
free delivery division of lHo post of-
fice. "By December 1," continued Mr.
Maehem, “there will lie 6,000 rural
routes in operation. OF these 1,300
were not established until June 30,
1900. During the fiscal year ended
Inst year, 3,000 were established.
There are now on file 6,000 applica-
tions, and they are coining in by the
hundreds from all parts of the coun-

the hospital for the insane at Normun
and examine into its condition, have
the honor to make the following report,
to you:
Your committee met at Norman on
Monday, repaired to the hospital and
began a thorough investigation thor-
ough and complete.
We found 325 inmates now in the
institution in various stages of insane
ty. The arrangement is the same as
that of all large institutions, namely,
in wards. The inmates are given in
charge of attendants, according to
their condition at the time of admission
and changed to other wards as they
improve, until finally they are allowed
the freedom of the grounds as ‘•trust-
ies" before being discharged. Even
the violent are not punished, exeept by
such restraint as is necessary for their
safety and the safety of their attend-
ants. The inmates are given daily ex
ercise in the open air in the forenoon
and afternoon and in bad weather in-
doors in the halls of their separate
wards. Those who are sufficiently
strong are allotted a little work each
day, such as sweeping and bedmaking
Papers, magazines and books are fur-
nished, as well as cart's, cardtables,
checkers, dominoes, etc. The beds are
single ones, nearly all have springs,
are neatly covered with white spreads

Alier Insurance As"111',
Guthrie.—Attorney General J. C.
Strang is waging a relentless w»r
against insurance companies that have
neglected or have refused to comply
with tlio Oklahoma laws governing
this business, and lie is busily engaged
in exposing all such companies and
wrrningthe public against them. The
attorney general is not only after these
pirate companies, but he is after their
agents, and has instructed county at-
torneys to ’prosecute them for obtain-
ing money under false pretenses.
Along this line lie has issued the fob
lowing warning:
Territory Of Oklahoma,
Attorney General’s Office,
Guthrie, Oct. 30. 1991.
To the Public—This office is in posstwr
sion of information to the effect that
one J. E. Johnson is traveling through
Kay and perhaps other counties of the
territory issuing policies which pur-
port to be issued by the Phoenix in-
surance company of New York. On
the back of thess policies they are en-
dorsed, “J. E. Johnson, Special Agent."
This man Johnson issued a policy to
J. IV. Williams of Kay county, about
the first day of October, 1901, charging
Mr. Williams $17.50 cash premium,
which he received, the policy being
written for Si,000 and for five years
Johnson dated this policy, however,
September 10, 1901, dating it baok
nearly a month. The names of the. of-
ficers of the company to tills policy are
signed by the same person, showing
that this man J. E. Johnson is a fraud
and that he signs the name C. C. Gard-
ner, secretary; J. YV. Sraithtteld, pres-
ident, to said policies. The public Is
warned against this man, J. E. John-
son and his business.
Anyone knowing tlie whereabouts of
this man Johnson will confer a favor
upon this office by notifying the county
attorney of Kay county at once where
he is so that he may be arrested and
punished for obtaining money under
false pretenses. The newspapers of
the territory and those outside which
circulate in the territory, both daily
and weekly, are requested to give this
warning a widespread circulation in
order to protect the people of the ter-
ritory against a swindler.
Very Respectfully,
J. C. Strand,
Attorney General.

It. is no wonder that Englishmen

During the sessions of the confer-
ences of the two great branches of
Methodism in the territory, at Shaw-
nee, that of the northern branch at
Shawnee and the southern branch at
Chickasha last week, the proposition
to jointly found a college was taken
up by each of the bodies and an agree-
ment was reached whereby a great
university will receive the united ef-
forts to bring about this happy con-
sumation. The university is to be one
that will not in anyway belie the term
used, but will be a great school, that
will have an endowment that will
make it one of the greatest eolle ges of
tlie nation, a unity of the Methodist
chr. ":hcs north and south in a great
edin-atiourl institution.
The proposition by the conferences
is that the institutions 6hall be located
in some one of theories of the terri-
tory on the condition that the city
named shall donate 40 acres of land
for the site, and $100,000 as a cash do-
nation in the event the churches so
united and build according to plans
now under consideration, a certain
per cent of the fund to be used iu the
construction of the buildings and a
certain per cent used in endowment
solicitations. The two churches would
elect an even numlier of directors and
take full control of the institution and
give to it the name of “The Epworth
University.”

Mystery veils the disappearance of
YV. T. Stogsdell of Waukotnis, says the
Hornet. Last week he purchased the
Gregg store at Barr, and it was invoiced
by his son-in-law, Will Stuart, and W.
A. Oliver of Drummond. Tuesday
night Mr. Stoggsdell took formal pos-
session of the store and left others to
look after it until lie could verify the
invoice, and for that purpose went to
Drummond. Next morning lie got up
quite early, complaining to Landiay
Hall that he was sick, lie never re-
turned nor could any trace of him be
found. That night searching parties
were formed and tlie entire country
was well searched, but with no result.
Some time ago a large box was left
at the lumberyard by unknown par-
ties. The box was very heavy and
it could be seen that among its con-
tents was some bed clothing. The box
it seems has also disappeared—how,
can only be guessed. While searching
a straw stack the bed clothing was
found—but not the slightest trace of
Stogsdell.
It is now known that the missing
man had about $2,000 in an Enid bank
that he drew this money Wednesday
morning, and at once vanished. Those
who know him say he is a man of too
much honor to jump his contract for
the Btore on which he has made no
payment. They think his mind be-
came clouded and he wandered away
amt got sandbagged.
Waatfasrlntd Talcs* Action.
A temporary injunction was granted
by Probate Judge Allen of Oklahoma
City, acting for Judge Burwell, who Is
out of the city, restraining the board
of education for normal schools in
Oklahoma from expendinff any part of
the $52,000 appropriation by the last
legislature for erecting the Southwest-
ern Normal school in Granite. This is
the first move on the part of the people
of Weatherford to restrain the erection
of the normal at Granite. The facts
recited in the petition have already
been before the public and tlie question
hinges on the legality of the boards
appointed by Governor Barnes and
Governor Jenkins. The territorial
board of education considered the
matter of advertising for bids for the
erection of a school at a meeting on
November 1.

THE CHAMPION WING SHOT.
Capt. llognrdus Iln* n Dnngeroae Ex-
perience lint Comes
Ont Y'nlinrt,
Ferris Wheel Park, Chicago, Nov.
4th.—Capt. A. H. Bogardus, the cham-
pion wing shot of the world, has
spent the summer here. His shooting
school has been one of the features
of the Park during the season. Ho
has given many exhibitions and his
skill with the rifle is superb.
The Captain, tells of a very close
call he once had when living at Elk-
hart, 111. He had been a sufferer from
Kidney disease for several years and
it rapidly developed into Bright’s Dis-
ease. All his friends told him that
this was incurable and that he would
never get better.
To say that he was alarmed is to
put it very mildly. This plucky man
had faced many dangers and it made
him sick at heart to think that at last
he was to be conquered by such a
cruel foe.
At last he heard of a medicine that
had cured many such cases,—Do'dd’a
Kidney Pills. He used them and was
completely restored to good health.
He says:—"I attribute my present
good health to Dodd’s Kidney Pills
and to nothing else."
