New York, Nov. 26.—In responsible
banking circles it was today intimated
that negotiations for the sale of the
St. Louis and San Francisco railway
to Benjamin F. Yoakum of the Rock
Island, were in process of consum-
mation. It is believed that Yoakum
will turn the control of the Frisco
over the Edwin Hawley with whom he
is already interested in various ven-
tures. Yoakum would not make any
statement today.
Leander Stillwell Lands
Washington. Nov. 26.—It was an-
nounced today that Leander Stillwell,
of Erie, Kansas, has been appointed
first deputy commissioner of pensions
to succeed Jas. L. Davenport, promot-
ed. Mr. Stillwell is a lawyer and also
has served on the bench in Kansas.
Senator Curtis and Representative
Campbell were his backers.
Still Without Information
Washington, Nov. 26.—The state de-
partment is still without information
from the American vice consul at
Managua, Nicaragua, and the strong
inference is that his dispatches have
been intercepted by Zelayas officials.

the claim that tffe changing of com-

They escaped while the women
fought with the officers.

THANKSGIVING
DAT SERVICES
AN UNPRECEDENTED ATTEND-
EE AT THE LOCAL PRES
BYTERIAX CHURCH
THE BEV. JETER PREACHED
I pon Subject of “Opportunity,” the
Minister Delivered Interesting
Discourse
Reports of the Thanksgiving day
services, held yesterday forenoon by
the various congregations of the city,
at the Presbyterian church, announce
an unprecedented attendance, unusual
interest and a service helpful in every
particular. The sermon was delivered
by the Rev. J. c. Jeter, pastor of the
First Mthodist church, who spoke In-
terestingly regarding “Opportunity”,
his text, however, being “Enter Into
His Gates With Thanksgiving and
Into Hit Courts With Pralae,”
The minister, betraying a compre-
hensive grasp of events spoke at nome
length regarding the opportunities of
former centuries, as compared with
those of the present time, Illustrating
the drift of world-conditions toward
decided betterment, being emphatic
as well aa happy in his admonition,
that the people should be thankful
for the varied character of present day
opportunities, and doubly so, since
they were brought about by the hero-
ism. the devotion to truth, and. in
many Instances, the suffering even
unto death, of the strong souls of
olden times.
Appropriate music graced the oc-
casion.
But aside from the interesting char-
acter of the service, the large attend-
ant was illuminating, in that it
showed the difference in local regard
concerning Thanksgiving day ser-
vices from that obtaining three years
ago, when but seven persons turned
out.

clubs are being organized at various

object being to promote an interest in

from his body and literally riddled to
strings, while his right shoe was de-
stroyed. He was rendered uncon-

juries he received were three of his
toes on his right foot cut and bruised
Jesse Hill, in the same office, had a
chair he was sitting on demolished,
and while rendered unconscious for
some time from the shock, received
no injuries. A young lady in the din-
ing room was shocked, but received no
injuries. Three dogs, two hogs and
five chickens in the yard adjoining
were killed, and the office and dining
room of the building were badly dam
aged, the floors of both rooms being
badly torn up.

Yesterday, Thanksgiving day, as re-
flected in police court this morning,
was remarkably quiet, Judge Collins
being called upon to preside over but
few cases. The one however, to
which most interest was attached,
was the charge against N. D. Menifee,
who was arrested last night by Officer
Kinley, who thought the young man
to be greatly exceeding the auto speed
limit. Judge Collins evidently
thought as much, and promptly regis-
tered a fine of ten dollars against Mr.
Menifee.
A couple of alleged “vags” whose
movements presumably were too slow
for the town, came in for fines of
twenty dollars each.
One man, a railroader by the name
of A. L. Carrol, on charge of drun-
kenness. swearing and plunging
around generally, arrested by Special
Frisco Officer Townsend, also drew a
twenty dollar fine.
