It is therefore appropriate that the people, in token of acknowledgement of these rich blessings, offer up pray ers of thanksgiving and bonscf praise to the Great Ruler of all. Now, therefore, I, John IU. Thayer, governor of the state of Nebraska, do hereby appoint Thurso ay, the 28 th day of tho present month, as a day of thanksgiving, and I do invite all the people of the state, those of all denom inations, Jew and Gentile, Citholic and Protestant, native and foreign, white and colored, to assemble in their accustomed places of religious worship and offer up the homage of grateful hearts and sing hymn3 of praise to tho Most High; and I do urge the people on that day to remember the poor and give to them offerings which shall gladden their hearts and make them rejoice at tho goodness of God and the kindness of their fellowmen. In testimony whereof. I have here unto set my hand and caused to be af fixed the great seal of the State. Done at Lincoln this 7th day of No vember, A. D. 1889. By the Governor : f seal. John M. Thayer. . G. L. Laws, Secretary of State. On Thursday jlast evening some per son unknown stole the poll books and ballots of two precincts of Logan county from the office of the county clerk at Grandy. About 6 o'clock the deputy clerk, Frank Douglas, locked the door of his office and went to the post-office for hi3 mail. He returned in about three minutes and found his office unlocked and the poll books of Gandy and Omega precincts were gone. The discovery of the theft caused con siderable comn-otion and much bitter feeling toward certain individuals, aud some talk of lynching was indulged in. Beckwith, the county clerk,, sent im mediately to the judges of election, who held the duplicate poll books, and the canvassing board made up the com plete returns, using the duplicate poll books in place of those stolen. The matter will be thoroughly investigated and may result in the prosecution of some one. v .. ,,,c-.'

A stupendous claim of $21,200 for legal services was put in tgiinst the heirs of the late C. J. Hull, the West tide millionaire, by Attorney Allan C. Story and whether Mr. Story has a lien on the $21,200 deposited to their order in court is the legal nut which Judge Collins h&s to crack. Mi. Hull left preperty worth $5, C00,(X0. It was paid of tim that he owned "half of the west tide.'' This big fortune he left to his amanuensis, general mansger acd housekeeper. Miss ! Helen Culver, hav no wife and children and no parent hvir g. His next of Lin were some remote cjusiim, nephews aiul nieces, who weie left noth ing. These Leirs numbered nine oud were ?c9ttered about the country and in Chicago. rbcy were all very poor people. A. C. Story Kata that a lawyer named A. W. Piter- eon, a r cent arrival ; irom uanaon, was employed by them at his or their instance, Btory doten't know which, to see if they couldn't get tome of Mr. U all's big estate. "Peterson found it a bigger case thau he eonid handle," said Mr. Story, "aud he came to me. I made a verbal conirsc!; with tne heirs, which, now that they have won, they have utterly failed to csrry our." Tee sum of $21,20o is now in court and Mr. Story so. s up a lien ion it for $21 ,2;X cr 10 per cent The heirs t excepted to Juoge CoJlins' jurisdiction yesterday on tne pround that Mr. Stoiy's remedy was not asrsinsfc the fund in chancery, but by suit at law. Ma-.y very interesting decifions wre citel and Judge Collins ; held that if Mr. Story had a valid lien, the court could ap ply a portion of tf e tuud to satisfy it. Whether he hai a lien, however, on a niert. verbal contract wes; a question which the court reserved for decihion on the trial of the suit. Restored to His Parents. Los ASGELE3, CaL, Nov.; 9. W. J.

About two weeks ago a bright in telligent lad was fourfd around the streets of East Los Angeles by a policeman, who took him to the boys' and girls' home. The boy told a strange tale. He said his name was Willie W. Dickinson; that about six or seven years ago a stranger took him from home and took him to Chicago, whre he was abandoned on the streets. He fell in with other boys and made a living soiling papers and blacking boots till 1 883, when he rode to Sacramento-en a brake beam. Since his arrival in California he has fallen in with horse jockeys, who took him to the fairs with them. When he reached Los Angeles he decided to remain. A week ago the chief of p lice sent a .tetter to the Chi cago ci-ief of police, relating the boy's story, and today received an answer which tells the story of the abduction and encloses a photo of themiFsing boy, whici corre sponds exactly with tne boy here.

Admission to the church ciuld only be (rained by the order of a card at invitation. Every available bit of spase within was utiiizad, yet thousands of people, visitors as well as Baltimoreans, had to be shut out.

The commissioners point out the fact that the appropriation act of February 6, 1SS9, locked up in the treas ury $3Cl',0( 0 belonging to the home. The interest on this, with tne receipts from other seurces, would have kept the institution self-supporting without making necessary any inroads upon the principal of the per manent fund.

Here a little room about six feet square was found, also a laige pile of bones, evidently of animals who had gone there to die. The floor cf the next passage was rough in places. After going fully a quarter of a mile they came upon the edge of a large body of water, clear as crystal, and almost as cold as ice. From here twenty minutes were required to reach the wall of the cave. Another opening proved to be about twenty feet long and opened into another large chamber. The roof of this room was not so high as the ene Just left and the dome could ba plainly seen. Tho whole loom shone like diamonds.

They proved to be a man, wo man, and three young boys, evidently a family of Indians. Further exploration will be made. A Fearful Storm. CLixroN, N. M., Nov. 8. Unle38 tha snow storm which hai been mging tor tho pat eight dajs ends noon next summer will show the country covered vith the dead bodies cf animals as thickly as was tho cl 1 Santa Fc trail in tha sixti es. 1 he depth of snow is now not le?s thai tweuty-f-is inches on Iho level, and in many places it is drifted seven feet high When the storm struck tbis section shvcu herds of Cittle nunaria frjm 400 to 2,000, were being bell near this place awaiting shipment ess In vala did the tia'f f cob jn cowboy try toofceck tho march of the herds, bit on they went through tho increasing storm, until finding it ut ttrly impossible to bold the cattle the bors rode asiie and let them pass, and nearly dead, rode their exhausted horses into tho cmyors or partially skeltered places where they passed many hours ol m.scry without food or ttro. Fivo cowboys and two Mexican sheep herder? are known to bo frozen. Ia fie drifts are found hundreds of dead f tce't, vaauy only with the bead and horns above the tnow.
