SERMONS ON PROSPERITY
Ohoico Extracts from tho Thanksgiving
Proclamations of Governors.
HOPEFUL EXPRESSIONS IN VARIED TONES
Pong of I'rnlse nnil Joy from Sen, to
Hen, from Kelt Hirer to the
Gulf PcciillitrltlvK of
I'rocln mat Ions,
It thcro should bo any lingering doubt
In the mind of any person as to the gener
ally hopeful feeling throughout the United
States on account of the favorable year
soon to close or any question as to tho all
prevailing prosperity In states and terri
tories alike, a half hour spent reading over
tho annual proclamations of tho governors
fixing a date for Thanksgiving day would
set the matter at rest finally. Those
proclamations ate without exception short
sermons on prosperity. They wcro written
by optimists. They are nilcd with tho
spirit which scorns to have animated the
majority of American citizens as they went
to tho palls this month and this Is true
whether the authors nro of one political
faith or another With the proclamation
writers this Is an eru of peace, prosperity,
good will and great rejoicing. Prom Malno
to Oregon and from Florida to Montana the
aong is tho samo.
One of tho shortest and simplest of the
proclamations Is that which came from
Albany, signed by tho vlco president-elect
of tlm United States. Ho might havo In
dulged congratulations somewhat warmer
than usual, but ho wlsoly dcnlgd himself
this privilege and Issued tho following:
"In acnordanco with the wise custom of
our forefathers, now continued for many
generations, I hereby set apart Thursday,
tho 29th day of Novombcr, 1000, as a day
of thanksgiving and prayer to tho Almighty
for tho Innumerable benefits conferred upon
tho cl'lzens of this Btato In common with
their fellow citizens of the whole nation
during tho year which has Just passed; for
tho material well being which wo enjoy and
for tho chances of moral betterment which
nro always open to us."
Shnw'n Choice Word.
Iowa's governor Is concise and eloquent.
Governor Shaw wrote: "Tho most re
markoble century In tho flight of time closos
with the most happy and prosperous year
In tho history of our nation and our state.
Very abundant has been tho yield from
our lands, great has been the product of
our mines, tho output of our factories and
tho Increase, of our herds. Our people have
advanced In all that pertains to mntcrlcl
prosperity and havo becomo wiser and
better as the years havo come and gono;
and now. at tho closo of Anno Domini, 11)00,
standing at this elevation, with Increased
hope, and yot loftier expectation, It Is but
reasonable that a great and appreciative
people tarry for a day to give thanks to tho
great Giver of all that Is good, tho Pre
crver of all that Is best."

moro nrdently than now those precepts of

good citizenship and those beliefs In

Governor Geer of Oregon wroto of "the
courago and high purposo that animated
our pioneer fathers and mothers" In re
deeming tho promised land and, continuing,
said: "Tho peoplo of Oregon have special
reason for engaging In thanksgiving exer
cises, slnco this has been ono of the most
satisfactory years In all lines of material
prosperity our stato has over known. At
no time In our history can It bo said that
our peoplo havo enjoyed greater freedom
from contagious or other diseases or from
want or calamity of any kind. There Is an
abundanco of tho necessaries of life every
where easily within the reach of all classes
of our people, and as high a percentage of
our population Is employed upon satisfac
tory tern of remuneration as has over
prevailed In the history of tho stato. Our
schcols are liberally supported, largoly by
tho muntflcenco of the general government
through the agency of a perpetual endow
ment nnd nro well attended In nil our rural
as well as more populous districts. Our
people are orderly nnd peace prevails
everywhtre within the domain of our cher
ished commonwealth, whoso futuro Is un
dlmmed by any presage of untoward cir
cumstance." Governor Smith, for Montana peoplo,
stated It this way: "Our people of all
classes, whether engaged In mining, farm
ing, stock raising or In tho shops or bus
iness centers, havo been blessed with con
stant and remunerative) labor and havo en
Joyed such mcasuro of prosperity as alto
gether brings contentment nnd happiness
to our people."

Oovernor Stephens of Missouri wroto tho
longest of tho proclamations, prefaced with
the following: "Tho present year closes
tho most" wonderful century In tho history
of mankind. The tlmo Is most appropriate
for reviewing with gratitude the causes
which, under tho blessings of God, have
during tho last hundred years conspired to
give us first place among thu peoplo of tho
earth."
Tho governor Indulges In a little of this
appropriate rovlewlng and continues: "Wo
should remember with deep thanksgiving
the growing disposition on tho part of thoso
who havo been fortunate In the accumula
tion of great wealth, to establish Institu
tions, tho object of which Is to glvo to tho
whole people In higher forms tho riches
they havo secured by. toll and self-sacrlllce.
Tho money they ncqulrc by tho application
of Intclllgencu and skill to tho raw materi
als furnished by tho bounties of naturo they
use to feed tho common mind through In
stitutions of learning, through public li
braries nnd through galleries of art. Tho
culture, the high Ideals nnd tho noblo as
pirations fostered by such public Institu
tions tend Infinitely moro to onrtch tho
stnto than expanse of territory or vast ma
terial wealth unwisely hoarded for oolflsh
ends. With science, learning, art nnd re
ligion purring their soft and mellowing
light upon the lives of all our peoplo, abun
dant scope and opportunity will bo fur
nished for the development, not only of the
richest country tho world ever saw, but also
for tho fullest growth of the wisest and the
most humane. That citizens of our own
stnto have within tho past year given to tho
cause of education amounts of such magni
tude as to exclto tho attention of the world
Is causo sufficient to thrill tho hearts of all
our people."
Hooxler Contentment.
Governor Mount of Indiana In his proc
lamation sntd: "Wo cannot recount all tho
evidences of divine favor; they aro more
than can bo numbered. Abounding plenty
cheers thu hours nnd gladdens tho hearts
of our people. Employment Invites to ac
tivity nil who seek work. The rewards of
Industry make It possible for all t6 enjoy
God's bounteous blessings. Inventl'vo go
nlus has added to tho storo of human com
fort. Immunity from pestilence nnd dis
ease, with freedom from discord and strife,
nro conditions calling for tho expression
of gratitude from our hearts. Tho spirit
of conciliation nnd lntcr-dcpcndenco has
led to laws for thu adjustment of differ
ences through peaceful arbitration, honco
tho peace and prosperity of our stato has
not been menaced by danger to life and
property."
Governor Stono of Pennsylvania wroto:
"The citizens of our commonwealth have
enjoyed :i condition of unusunl prosperity.
Labor has had constant employment nt good
wngi'B. Our crops havo been bountiful and
the various products of Industry have found
new mnrkcts lu all parts of the world. No
great calamity or epidemic has visited us
and tho gcnoral health of our peoplo has
been excellent. Our stato has continued Itn
steady nnd henlthy advanco toward a
higher citizenship and tho futuro Is bright
and promising."
Hiintliern Sentiment.
Governor Jones of Arkansas Is brief. Ho
refers lu his proclamation to state prece
dents and says that "In obedience to tho
beautiful nnd time-honored cuBtom of theso
United States and In recognition of tho
morcy and bounty of God" his people should
give thanks.
Governor Heard of Louisiana says: "Es
pecially should we bo thankful for tho
bounteous returns of tho frluts of tho
earth; for the material prosporlty of our
stato; for tho Immunity from disaster of
cny kind nnd for thu pence and harmony
which prevails In our midst and lends n
renewed spirit of hopefulness for tho fu
ture." Governor Tyler of Virginia wroto: "Whlto
wo havo not been especially favored during
tho last year with good seasons, our bless
lngs hnvo been so manifold that our
hearts should be ur.felgnedly thankful. Wo
hnve been exempt from great dlsenso and
disaster nnd our homes preserved In peaco
and contentment.'
Tho governor of tho Old Dominion also
expresses Joy becauso "wo have n country
whoro wo can work out our destinies un
molested by the ravages of pestllenco that
afflict other lands nnd whpre, from our
natural Isolated position, our frontier Is
guarded by tbn eternal hand of God."
Governor McSwcenoy of North Carolina
gave his state tho following bit of ad
vcrtlslng: ''In the provldcnco of God wo
have been spared na a peoplo and as n
state for ar.nther yenr. penco nnd prosper
ity, health and happiness have been vouch
safed to us. Wo hnvo not been visited by
plngue or pestllenco. Tho labor of our

of tho state."
Why l'lorldixnn Are- Huppy
Governor llloxham of Florida catalogues
the things for which tho pooplo of his
stato should bu thankful as follows: "Wo

citing political contest, Involving our en
tiro country, nnd tho nbsenco df disorder

North Dnkotn'n Song.
Acting Governor Joseph Melanctbon De
vino of North Dakota utters a paean of
prolBe and glorification uncqualed by any
Thanksgiving proclamation. Here Is an
extract from tho great document:
"God of our Fathers, known of old;
Lord of our fur-Hung lmttle line,
Jicncath whose awful hand wo hold
Dominion over palm nnd pine,
Lord God of Hosts be with us yet,
Lest wo forget, lest wo forget.
"Tho president of tho United States has
proclaimed Thursday, November 29, as n
day of thanksgiving and prnycr to tho
Omnipotent Helng who In dlvlno mercy nnd
graco has enthroned this republic first
among tho nations of tho wrth; who has
guided our advancing civilization from tho
struggling Infancy of national life to that
tlmo when our military, naval and com
mercial supremacy Is acknowledged among
tho nations of men. At this period when
tho year 1900 Is running out Its days aud
tho glowing dawn of tho twentieth cen
tury Is already breaking with radiant prom
ise of grcnt events In the sky of the futuro;
when ns n government and ns a peoplo wo
havo spread abroad tho splendid possibilities
of our nntloi's greatness, this day of thanks
giving of tho year 1900 takes on a new
and broader meaning than tho day has ever
had before.
"Wo ehould bo thankful for tho way In
which this great people In the first flush
of Its mighty manhood Is moving forward
to meet Its destiny nnd to do without
flinching every duty wllh which that des
tiny brings It face to face. Wo should bo
especially thankful that during tho year
now closing In tho early dawning of a now
contury our star of national destiny Is ap
proaching the zenith of Its brllllaucy un
tarnished by a single blot of dishonor and
ho holy aspirations of our fathers nro be
ing realized. Wo should render heartfelt
thanks for the senson of unexampled com
mercial prosperity; for the operation of mills
and factories at their fullest capacity; for
tho elevation of labor and Its fullest com
pensation: for tho preservation from pestll
enco and dlsonco; for tho happy content
ment of nil tho people, and for that loyal
aud patriotic Judgment of our citizens
which Insures tho permanency nnd strength
of our govornment.
"Let the evening bo devoted to tho chil
dren. Make merry lu tho good old ways.
ltoll back tho burden of tho years. A day
thus spent will not only be n living servlco
to God, but a blessing to others nnd n
benediction to ourselves."
Territorial Good Cheer.
Oklahoma has also shared In tho good
things of tho year nnd Governor Uarncs
uses these words In calling for n day of
thanks: "Oklahoma haB been blessed with
another year of plenty; tho garnered
harvest hns been most bountiful; field nnd
orchard havo yielded nn abundanco; our
people havo enjoyed universal prosperity;
neither famine nor pestllenco nor storm
has wrought havoc within tho borders of
our territory; as Individuals and as a peo

TOO MUCH FOR MR. JOHNSTON
Former Advance Agent Thrives on Baud
Conductor's Qood Name.
HOTEL CONTRACTS SIGNED WITHOUT LIMIT
"Pleeoln" Johnston Snld 4o Ilnve
Mimciueraded ns Innen' Hmnloyc
in Order to Serve I'nr
poses of llli (Mm.
Robert E. Johnston, the former advanco
agent of lnncs' band, hns a two-fold rea
son for giving thanks today. Ho ought to
foci a ccrtnln amount of gratltudo because
the business men of his acquaintance dis
play credulity that can bo turned Into
coin of the realm aud a further ground of
congratulation la his that his uddrcss has
not been temporarily changed from tho
Ilenshaw hotel to the city Jail. A vigorous
Beorch was mado for Johnston yesterday
afternoon at tho lnstanco of n number of
hotel proprietors, railroad officials aud
other business mtn, Including the ngonts
of lnncs, tho director of tho band bearing
that name. The band director has pra
terrod wholesale charges against his former
cinploe, nssertlng tlmt ho has mado uso
of tho old-tlmo connection with tho
musical organization to get money from
men who do not know that ho has been
discharged.
In trylug to get track of Johnston In thlH
city Mr. Iuncs told men Interested In the
hunt that tho Coatcs houso of Kansas
City has recured a warrant for his ar
rest. "Tho lnstanco of tho Coatcs house Is only
ono of many," said Mr. lnncs, "as John
ston has been raising money right nnd
left by Imposing on peoplo who nro uu
oware of his discharge as advance agent
of thu band. Johnston was given his rj
leaso In Atlanta, On., because of ques
tionable trausactlons and that slnco then
ho hns traveled over tho ltlncrnry of tho
band a fow days In ndvnnco of the organi
zation rcprrsentlcg himself to bo tho agent
Btlll, In this way raising money In nearly
11 tho cities ho visited.
llotelH Yield Tribute.
"Johnston io In tho habit of going to
a hotel and getting a commission In nd
vnnco for promising to quarter tho band
members nt tho hostelry on tho dato of
their engagement in tho fllty In question.
Frequently ho has worked tho samo trick
at moro than one hotel In tho city. Thu
railroads and tho baggngo transfer lines
havo also been mado to contribute to his
funds through much the samo kind of an
arrangement. Johnston has bargained with
the express lines to haul bnggngo of tho
band botween tho depots and tho hotels in
a rate which brought revenue to himself
In ndvance. Ho also had tho agents of
tho railroad ticket offices meet lu tho
usual way and bid for tho contract of
transporting tho lnncs organization. From
somo of tho bidders ho has gotten trans
portation nnd then sold It to outside ticket
dealers.
"Johnston retained n lot of tho bills
and posters used In advertising tho band
nt tho tlmo of his discharge, making It
an easy matter to persuado tho men with
whom he comes In contact that ho Is the
authorized advanco agent. Tho fact that
ho has beer. In our employment for a good
many years makes the deception easier
still. Ho ha3 mannged to keep a fow days
ahoad of the band without being appre
hended until Omaha was reached. John
ston arrived Sunday night nnd applied to
Manager O'Brien of ,thc' Ilenshaw hotel for
rates. He was told that thero was not
room for tho band members nt that hos
telry, but as the proprietor remembered

EARTHWORK IS NOW FAVORED

Concretions In Order to Secure
a Viaduct.
Tho refusal of tho owners of tho prop
erty abutting tho proposed Twenty-fourth
street viaduct to sign n waiver of damages
which may result from tho construction of
that roadway, has worked a revolution lu
tho Ideas of the Southwest Improvement
cliib regarding the character of tho struc
ture. At n meeting of tho club last night
tho viaduct question was discussed at
length upon tho report of a committee
which had consulted with tho property
owners.
When tho plana wero first submitted
by tho rnllroad company tho engineer had
mndo arrangements for an earthen em
bankment from Hickory street to tho
north side of the Union Pacific tracks. At
the suggestion of tho owners of tho abut
ting property, who desired tho land left so
that other ro.ids could pnss under the
viaduct nnd tho lots bo used for ware
houses .tlm club took a decided stand
ngnlnst tho earthen embankment. Tho
plans wero changed nnd tho earthwork re
duced to an approach ninety feet long.
Tho railroad company ngred to pay all
damages If the earthwork was not changed,
but depcuded upon tho city to pay tho
damages under tho present plan.
Last night the members of tho club ex
pressed themselves In favor of returning
to tho original plans, as they thought thl3
would result In tho completion of tho
viaduct In tho shortest time.

For nearly C years I Buffered from
kidney and liver troubles and lost all
hopes of ever being a well woman
again. I wob told by my physician
that I had Ilrlght's dlBcaso and ho
pronounced mo Incurable. My legs
swelled up so with dropsy that my
husband sent me south for two
months, and not getting any better,
camo homo to die. Ono of my friends
wrote mo and asked mo to try tho
sample of Cramer's Klduey Cure sho
sent me, which I did on her nollcltn
tlon. I bought several bottles, and
many and many a tlmo I havo thanked
her for her advice. Today my swell

I can recommend Cramer's Kidney
