ALL UNITE TO GIVE THANKS Congregations of Protestant Churches Obterre Thanksgiring Day , REV , G , W , SNYDER PREACHES THE SERMON Tritce * AnaloKr Between God'i Denl- ln r with the Ancient I rnellte and the People of Thl Country. The congregations of tbo Protestant churches of Council Bluffs observed Thanks giving day , as has been the general custom for years past in this city , with union services yesterday morning at the Broad way Methodist church this church being selected as having the largest auditorium of any sacred edifice in the city. Owing to the largo window over the main entrance having been blown out during the blizzard Monday night , It was found Impossible to properly heat the auditorium and the serv ice had to bo held In the rooms In the basement which , owing to the large con gregation present , were somewhat Incon veniently crowded. By a strange coinci dence , to which the Rev. O. W. Snyrter , pastor of St. John's English Lutheran church , referred in the opening of his ser mon , six years ago when ho was called upon to preach the Thanksgiving sermon at the union services at the same church , owing to the blizzard raging that day , they had to bo held In the basement. Rov. Snyder took as his text Exodus 34:24 : : "For 1 will cast out the- nations be fore thee and enlarge thy borders ; neither shall any man desire thy land when thou"shall go up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice in the year. " He said In part : "What a spectacle Is this day presented to God , to angels and to men. A nation of 70,000,000 souls saying : 'Praise the Lord , O Jerusalem , praise thy God , O , Zlon' a na tion offering thanksgiving unto God. That must Indeed be no trifling or common cause that can close the marts of business , sl- lenco the hum of Industry , suspend the work of buying nnd selling and getting gain , spread a solitary stillness over a pe riod allotted to secular work , and crowd the houses of God In the land with multi tudes to offer praises and thanksgiving to the father of all mercies and blessings. "And this spectacle has not been produced by any extraordinary religious awakening , nor by any ecclesiastical authority nor by any concerted action by the several Chris tian bodies in the country , but is recom mended by a proclamation of the nation's chief magistrate and again recommended by the executives of the states. Thus the ap pointment of the solemn day Is supported by a combination of civil sanction , influence and power. "There is a peculiar analogy between God's dealings -with the ancient Israelites and the people of this country. In noting the blessings cited in the presldent'a procla mation , as well as others In which wo so greatly rejoice , we will draw attention to this similarity in dealing with the two people. , "First , we rejoice In national security. The Israelites were yet around Mount Stnal , had just started on their long , tedious jour ney for the promised land , when God said unto Moses 'I will cast out the nations be fore thee and enlarge thy borders , neither shall any man desire thy land when thou shall go up to appear before the Lord thy God thrice In the year. ' Extensive dominion and national security were here promised. The psalmist , referring to this in after years , said 'He hath strengthened the bars of thy gates. ' As God gave the people of Israel a peculiar country , so has ho our own nation. Judea's fertility enabled it to sustain an immense population and Its physical geogra phy was a defense In Itself to Its Inhabi tants. So tbo fertility and the Immense re sources of wealth of all kinds of this coun try are able to support and are supporting growing millions. "And If Judca was strong from Its physical geography this country la much stronger. Our land extends from ocean to ocean , thou sands of miles of vast waters intervene between - twoen us and any other powerful nations east or west. Wo extend as far north and south as cold and heat make It desirable for habitation. No powerful nation lies on our borders < to watch us with envy and jeal ous eye and cause us to be over In readiness to repel a formidable Invasion. A few days' notice of flfe and drum summons enough men together to settle all warlike contro versies with any of our immediate neigh * bors and with some remote ones , too , as evidenced In the late HUpano-Amor lean imbroglio. "Hitherto we have been placed under no necessity of keeping a large standing army. Our newly acquired possessions will make an additional demand on our young men for the army and navy , but nothing to com pare -with the hundreds of thousands of men In the prodigious military organizations of European nations. When wo are through with a war we disarm at once , without say ing anything to anybody about it , and re turn to the farm , the shop , the store and the office. In Europe they make proposals to each other for disarmament , even in times of peace , and fall In their proposals. Since our declaration of Independence as a nation we have acquired territory from England , Spain , France , Mexico , Russia and Spain the second time ; we have had four foreign wars and one civil war , always coming out victorious , and have become stronger after every clash of arms and mightier and wealthier after every added new possession. To the God of Israel is the praise. Wo rejoice in the restoration of peace and In plenty throughout the land , In the courage of our chief executive. It over an army and especially a navy were divinely protected from great disaster while in furious combat it was our army and navy in the war just closed. Two great naval victories and only three men killed , a large army captured , a proud nation de feated and compelled to sue for peace , with a loss of only something over 200 killed among the victors. Peace procured so read ily and with euch wonderful results demands our heartiest praise and thanksgiving. " Mr. Synder told of the bounteous harvest the country over and reminded his congre gation of the debt of gratitude due the HELPS WHERE OTNCM nourishment for Nursing Mothers , whose weak nerv FAIL ous , over-taxed systems arc Incapable of producing pore noomhing milk for the babies.

Ho reviewed the history of the nation with reference to Ha religious conditions , referring to the prevalence of sin and wickedness , but In conclusion took a hopeful view , as follws : "We have reason , however , to thank God today that , though wickedness is In the land , yet God's people are Increasing , the chief executive of the nation nnd his official advisers are God-fearing men. The same Is true nearly of all the governors of the states and , thanks be to God , It Is true ot many of the commanders In the army and the navy , and to this fact can largely be attributed our magnificent victories In the late war. But while we hopefully look for ward for an advance In all that Is good , holy and righteous , let us with one voice , one heart , with the unity of the spirit , praise God for what he has done for us tn the last year. " Kveiilnft Service. A Thanksgiving service was held at the .Fifth Avenue Methodist church last evenIng - Ing which attracted a very fair sized con gregation. The pastor , Hev. Q. P. Fry , took as the subject of his sermon "The Per petuity of Our Republic. " He eald In part : "A distinguished divine of this country In 1848 gave a very graphic portrayal ot the obstacles we should meet but overcome and the vastnees of the empire that should of necessity be thrust upon us. Alee an article In the Edinburgh Review In 1853 , taking up the question of emigration to this country , gave utterance as to the consequences to this government. Both men , speaking upon different phases of the future , seem to have TO thoroughly grasped the situation and the outcome that were these articles read to an Intelligent audience today without giving their date they would read like history. Turning then to the word of God and get ting a gflmpso of God's Idea concerning the world and the relation this nation sustains to It , we can but bellevo the men to whom we have referred had divine Illumination In the utterance * ? of flfty years ago , one an American , the other an Englishman. " Here Mr. Fry referred to some of the ar guments against the perpetuation of this republic , because all others have failed , and he cited the fact that there have been revo lutions In all states and empires and that there will bo such as the world has never seen. Then passing on , ho briefly noted some of the peculiar advantages obtained In this country , such as the public schools , the fact that one-fourth of the entire popu lation Is enrolled In the schools , the door open to the poorest as well as the rich to preferment In public office , freedom of the ballot , equality before the raw , which were blessings enjoyed In America In a degree never known In any other country. Ho also cited some of the dangers to this country , yet he declared with emphasis that the base of modern liberty Is growing wider nnd wider , stronger and stronger , and the world was being brought nearer together. Ho saw among the elements of prominence In modern civilization the power of the press in Its widest freedom. Error , he said , might hero and there be flung broadcast by the press , but the tide IB soon checked , the current soon turned , the error sxploded and the peopte made the ttrongcr and truer. The work of the press lives while much else fades and perishes nnd that which lives must be worthy. Another mighty factor , or element , of perpetuity , he said , was found In man's self-consciousness that ho Is a child of liberty and that he Is capable of self-government and of perpetuating the best principles and forms of government. Continuing , he said : "Theologians tell us of a moral sense , so likewise there is a political sense , and In this countrVj-wo have discovered the fact , 'which has largely "to ddj'wlth developing the government and Institutions that wo are today so justly proud of. The two greatest days the earth has ever known were the day of the incarnation of the Son of God and the day when this representative republic was born. As In original creation the earth was without form and void , so the various stages of both redemption and a representative government have been passed. God has been preparing this nation In Its peculiar Isolation with Its peculiar Institutions to unshackle those that are bound and break through the darkness of centuries deep In the old world and let in the light of day In Its meridian splendor. The Cubans and Porto Rlcans will not only be free , but a now civilization , life and hope have come to them such as tliey never before dreamed of. The gathering In of the Phil ippines means as much for them , but It also means a revolution In civilization In the Orient as well , which God Is now flashing upon the world through this country , so late in its development. Never was there a greater cause for thanksgiving than now. " Uny Universally OliNerved. Thanksgiving was universally observed In Council Bluffs and places of business , publlo offices , railroad freight offices and stores generally were closed , If not for the entire day , at least during the afternoon and evening. The public schools were closed and the children helped their seniors celebrate - brato the day of rejoicing. For the religi ously Inclined there was the Union service at the Broadway church In the morning and services In the evening at several of the other churches. For those In search of other diversions there was the foot ball game In the afternoon at the Driving park and several thousand were on hand to watch the brawny sons of Nebraska and Iowa struggle up and down the gridiron over the pigskin. In the evening the attraction "Flannegan's Flats" drew a largo house at the Dohany. The Baptist people enter tained with n sociable at their church on First avenue and the Modern Woodmen of America wound up the day with a dance In their hall in the Merriam block. Amidst the general thankeglvlng the poor and needy were not lost sight of and the collection taken at the Union service at Broadway church was for their benefit. Over flfty poor children , boys and girls , were treated to a substantial dinner In the afternoon at the Christian tabernacle and made happy with presents of candy and other good things calculated to tlcklo the youthful palate. In addition to feeding these children , the members of the Chris tian church provided dinners for some fifty poor families , the dinners being delivered at their homes. Manager Lemen saw to It that the 223 children at the Christian home should have a Thanksgiving dinner that was worthy ot the occasion and the llttlo folk made away with several bis turkeys , not to mention mince plea , cranberry sauce and a lot ot other etceteras. The patients and nurses at the Woman's Christian association hospital were remem bered by their friends and the rooms were lavishly decorated with flowers , gathered and taken to the hospital by the young women of the Flower mission. The turkeys were the gift of Mr. and Mrs. M. F. Rohrer. Thanks to the snow that fell Monday , sleighing was right In order yesterday and all day long the merry tinkle ot the sleigh bells could be heard in the streets. In the evening there were a number of sleighIng - Ing parties. Dr. Reller , osteopath , Reno block. Ilolil Attorney CoiiBrntnlnteil. CLEVELAND. Nov. 24.

ACROSS THE PANAMA ISTHMUS ConfrreMMmnn Hepburn TelU About the Canal and the Dlfllcnlty and Nece i lty of It * Construction. CI/ARINDA / , ' la. , Nov. 24. ( Special. ) Hon. W. P. Hepburn , chairman of the house committee on Interstate commerce , In whoso hands the Nlcaraguan canal project Is placed , has announced himself as In favor of gov ernment control and ownership of the works. In a-lengthy interview on the sub ject , he sayu : "I have no reason to believe the Paclflo railroads are or have any disposition to be opposed to the canal. The business It would take is largely the traffic which the rail roads cannot get. On the other hand , It would soon double the population of the Pacific states , which would give the railroads - roads an immense gain In tonnage. I have never , In all the consideration this question has received , had it suggested to me that the Pacific roads are opposed to the canal. "Tho temper of the American people nt this time demands that steps be taken toward the construction of the canal. It will be one of the big Issues In the national legls laturo In the next lew years. The ques tions Involved In the construction of this canal are euch as have been presented in no previous work of the kind. For Instance , the one question of seismic disturbances Is a grave one. We know that they have such disturbances in Central America , yet nothing definite is known as to their character , violence or frequency or recur rence. There are volcanoes pouring forth their volumes of smoke within sight of ih route of the proposed canal. It Is not dif ficult to imagine the havoc which might bo wrought to such a structure by an earth quake of three or four seconds shivering along through the earth's crust some morn ing before breakfast. When we remember that for a distance of seven or eight miles the canal must be carried between retaining walls elevated high above the present level of the country ; when we remember that ths Ochoa dam , In the San Juan river , must bo built ninety feet high to raise the water In that stream seventy-seven feet ; that the plans require that the vessels passing through the canal are to bo raised by three canals on euch side of Lake Nicaragua , in one lock forty-five feet , another thirty-one and another thirty when all these thing * are taken into consideration , the serious ness of the question of seismic disturbance * will be appreciated. The locks , of course , would be more liable to damage by earth quake than any other parts of the canal. "This whole question has been before my committee so many times and the various phases have been so carefully discussed by the most eminent authorities that I feel as If I had a mental photograph of the entire country on my mind all the time. It seems to be the consensus of engineering opinion that the work Is practicable ; whether it could bo made financially profitable Is hard to determine. The most definite information to be had as to the volume of business that would pass through the canal annually Is unsatisfactory. An estimate of about 7,000.- 000 tons U as high as any statistics put it so far as I have seen them. The canal would have to enter into competition' with the Suez canal for much of its business. It would shorten many routes of the world' * commerce , but It would not offer a great In ducement to a largo volume of the trade from western Europe. For example , It Is 200 miles farther from New York to Hong Kong by way of the Nicaragua route thnn by way of the Suez canal. More than this , the Suez route has In Its favor the fact that it presents far more opportunities for coalIng - Ing , whllo the distances between coaling sta tions by the Nicaragua route are very long. The vessel from London to Hong Kong has few long jumps between coaling depots. But the steamer via Nicaragua must go 2,500 miles from the Pacific coaat outlet of the canal before It will reach the Hawaiian is lands to take coal ; or It it goes via San Francisco the distance from the latter place to Honolulu Is 2,100 miles. Then from Hon olulu It Is a clear course of 4.0uO miles to the next coaling station without going fur out of the route. It IB true that the Mid way islands , two or thrco small coral forma- tlons , might be used for coaling bases. Tlicso are somewhat out of the route , but arc about midway of the distance from the Hawaiian group and belong to the United States. I am Informed , however , that to make them of any use for a harbor and v Without a Moment's Warning * is the verdict usually rendered ; but that Is not right. ITeiut disease always sounds Its warnings , If you only know them. Sometimes It Is a pain In the left side or breast sometimes a fluttering palpitation. Shortness of breath after exercise ; smothering spells nt night ; swelling of the feet or ankles ; bad dream1 ? , f fainting spells or dlz/.lnes , Irregular pulse all these arc signs of the Impending dan ger which hangs over one person In every four that you meet.

They are of coral and a great coral reef would require removal before a harbor could be built. "Tho disadvantages of these long reaches between coaling stations are obvious. A vessel must carry more coal and consequently quently could carry less cargo. At the same time there Is a largo volume of business that the canal would got without competing with the Suez route. The trade from the Atlan tic boards of North America and Europe to the Pacific coast of South America would bo expected to go this way ; so would a great volume of traffic from the Pacific to the At lantic coast of our own country , traffic that at present does not exist , because the trans portation rates by rail are so high as to make It unprofitable. Thus the Pacific states cannot now send any of their wheat to the eastern part of the United States or to Eu rope ; the distance and transportation charges are too great. The Pacific coast Is n great wheat country ; It Is a region rich In timber and lumber ; we are told that a great potato business woilld be established If this cheap transportation were developed. Then there are Immense quantities of low- grade ores that might be shipped by water , but which cannot now pay the cost of rail transportation. " Celebrate Golden WcddlnB. LAPORTE , la. , Nov. 24.
