Thanksgiving In Kebnitau
Governor Holcomb has issued the fol
lowing1:
In harmony with a custom as old as
our government and conforming to tho
proclamation of tho president of tiie
United States, I, Silas A. Ilolcomb, gov
ernor of the state of Nebraska, by vir
tue of the authority in me vested by
law, do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday, the 28th day of November,
A. I)., 18D5, as a day of solemn and pub
lic thanksgiving to Almighty God for
Ills blessings to us as a people, a state
and a nation, and I earnestly request
that on that day all manner of secular
work may be laid aside and our people
assemble together in the usual places
of public worship, and in their homes,
and in such manner as may be approved
by their conscience, render thanks to
our Heavenly Father for the manifold
blessings enjoyed under the beneficent
influences of the enlightened Christian
civilization of the present day.
The people of Nebraska have indeed
great reason to feel a deep sense of
gratitude to the Giver of all good. In
the midst of universal depression in the
business world the people of Nebraska
have enjoyed a fair degree of prosperi
ty during the year now drawing to a
close. Providence has again smiled on
our fair land, blessing the toil of the
husbandman with crops sufficient to
meet ordinary wants, and peace and
contentment prevail through the land.
Let us also on this day remember tho
poor and unfortunate among us, not by
prayers atone, but by acts of charity
and benevolence manifested in such
substantial manner as will make the re
cipients thereof most happy and con
tented.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto subscribed my name and caused
to be affixed the great seal of the state
of Nebraska.
Done at Lincoln, the capital of the
state, tills !)th day of November, in the
year of our Lord, One Thousand Eight
Hundred and Ninety-five; of the state,
the Twenty-ninth, and of the inde
pendence of the United States, the One
Hundred and Twentieth.

Murder*<1 by An Unknown Man.
A Wilsonville, Neb., dispatch to the
Omaha Bee says: Albert Majors of De
vizes. eight miles south of here, came
to town this morning and told a tale of
a coolly planned and executed murder
that occurred at that place at about
sunrise in the morning. The facts in
the case, as related, are these:
Last evening a roan unknown in the
neighborhood of Devizes called at the
home of John Nelson and inquired for
Albert Applegate, saying he was an old
friend of his and that he had known
him on the rango in Colorado. He
Stayed with Nelson over night, but did
not give his name. In the morning
early ho started for the field near by,
where Applegate was husking corn.
The supposition of those who found the
body are that the murderer sneaked
upon his victim in a draw which ran
very near where he was husking and
commenced firing when he had reached
shooting distance. Applegate, after
the first shot, is supposed to have de
cided to clinch the man and started for
him, pulling liis coat as he ran. Four
shots were fired, but that one struck
him—the fatal shot—just as he reached
the murderer is known from the fact
that his face was burned with powder.
The shot struck him just above the
cheek bone, causing instant death.
No one knows who the murderer was
or the cause for the crime, hut he is
supposed to he a man with whom Ap
plegate had had trouble while living in
Colorado, lie told Majors last summer
that ho had caused the separation of a
man and his wife in Colorado, and the
husbund had sworn to follow him and
kill him if it took twenty years. The
man who committed the deed is prob
ably the one who had vowed ven
geance. He has never been seen since
the murder was committed. Applegate
is well known here as a sober, industri
ous man.
All State Fair Bills Paid.
The board of managers of the statv
board of agriculture, at a meeting held
in Omaha, completed checking up ac
counts of the late state fair and after
the last of the bills had been paid
found a good four figure balance on the
right side of the cash book. All the
members of the board expressed them
selves as well pleased with the result
and as confident that tho fair next year
will be lurger and a still greater suc
cess.
Chairman Dinsmore and Secretary
Furnas were appointed delegates to at
tend the meeting of the western and
eastern fair associations and the Amer
ican Shorthorn Breeders' annual con
vention in Chicago^ S. C. Basset was
delegated to prepare an exhaustive
article on sugar beet cultivation to be
read before the annual meeting of the
state fuir board in Lincoln next Janu
ary. During the annual meeting of the
bonrd, the annual corn show, which
promises to exceed all previous shows
Of the kind, and the anuual meeting of
the State Farmers’ institute will also
be held in Lincoln.
Another Cun for Trouble.
Lincoln dispatch: There la a new
cause for disagreement between War
den Leidigh of the penitentiary and
the state board of public lands and
buildings. The new cause of disagree
ment between these contending par
ties arises from the reported sale by
the warden of some of the hogs, a car
load, which were raised ou tho peni
tentiary grounds and arc tho properly
of the state. The members of the
board says, that this selling of state
property by the head of a state insti
tution without tho consent of the
board is without precedent, and in
direct violation of the rule which
governs such matters. The board is
supposed to be responsible for all pur
chases and sales of property, and it
says it is supposed that the members
shall know of such transactions.
Dowry Mast Pay.
Judge Shiras today, says a Lincoln
dispatch, rendered his decision in the
case wherein Albert Watkins, as re
ceiver for the Ponca National bank,
sought to have a transfer of stock by
G-. W. £ Dorsey to Prank Dorsey set
aside. The receiver alleged that Frank
Dorsey was insolvent'and the transfer
just before the failure of the bank was
to protect G. IV. E. Dorsey from liabil- |
ity to assessment. The court set aside !
the transfer, and the judgment recites
that (J. IV. K Dorsey must pav the as

General Miles Say* Any Foreign Navy Can

Absolute Importance of Defense of the
Entire Pacific Coast—Argument for An
Increase of the Strength of the Army
In Proportion to the Country's Growth.
We Are Defenseless.
Washington, Nov. 13.— In his an
nual report General Miles, com
manding the army, states that
the condition of our sea coast de
fenses is such as to require de
cided and immediate action for their
improvement. Ths unguarded condi
tion of our coast is known by every
first-class power,and our people should
not be led into false security. He
quotes from his report of 1884 a strong
argument for the defense of Puget
sound, shows that since that time new
Canadian railroads have been estab
lished there, yet not a single gun has
been placed in position for defense,
while those at the entrance of the Co
lumbia river are obsolete and of little
General Miles recalls what he said in
his report of 1889 upon the absolute
importance of the defense of ‘ the en
tire Pacific coast, in view of the fact
that it was possible for any naval
power to blockade every important
port within ninety days, while it
would take many years to make a suc
cessful resistance, and the country
might be required to.pay an indemnity
of $3,000,000,000. While the railroads
might transport 1,000,000 brave men to
the coast, they would be useless with
out appliances to cope with the mod
ern engines of war, and with all our
intelligence, pride, inventive genius
and enterprise, we are as far behind in
the modern appliances of war as China
or Japan. Such were the conditions
six years ago, says General Mile3, and
such are the conditions to-day, with
the exception of the slight progress
made at San Francisco. The entire
Gulf coast and all the great cities of
the Atlantic coast northward to Phila
delphia are entirely without modern
guns.
Therefore, he strongly recommends
the construction of all the high power
guns and system of defenses called for
in the general plan of the board of
ordnance and fortifications and other
boards, and to meet in part the ex
pense of this costly undertaking he
suggests the application of the funds
that might be derived from the sale of
abandoned military reservations. To
man these guns he asks an increase of
the artillery arm, with the provision
of barracks at Fort Hancock, N. Y.,
for the accommodation of the troops,
and the systematic detail of subaltern
officers for instruction in rotation in
this place.
General Miles argues for an increase
in the strength of the army, saying
that there is no reason why it should
become ciystallized and kept at one
strength, as it has been for years. It
should increase with the growth of
the country and be determined by the
census at a minimum of one sol
dier for every 2,000 population and a
maximum of one in 1,000.
THE CUBAN ISSUE.
Belief That the President ,TVill Roco-.n
mend Recognition of Belligerency.
Wasuinotox, Nov. 13. — Secretary
Olney is said to feel more encouraged
than at any time since he began to
talk to the President about the justice
and desirability of some interference
in Cuban affairs. For quite a time.the
President has been in a hesitating
mood. He thought of sending some
body to make an investigation,
just as he did regarding Hawaiian
affairs, but Mr. Olney pointed out that
such a step would be in an indirect
way a recognition of the revolution
ists, and that the United States might
as well act directly and promptly.
The representatives of the revolution
ists are elated over the information
that the President is inclined to do
something. .They are very confident
that his message to CoDgress will be
much more radical than his recent
apparent indifferenee would indicate.
Kecognition of the insurgents’ gov
ernment will be recommended, they
think.

ALLISON AND M’ALPIN.
The Ticket that Iowa Bapabllcaaa Alt
Working For.
Chicago, Nor. 13.—The ;Times
Herald to day prints the following!
‘‘Senator William B. Allison, candi
date for the Republican nomination
for President of the United States,
will start his boom in Chicago to-day.
He enters the field aggressively, ask
ing the support of Western men,
while his friend and fellow statesman,
James S. Clarkson, is working for his
interests in the East. Mr. Allison
comes to Chicago in company with
General Henderson of Dubuque, a
leader in the House of Representa
tives and one pf the foremost Repub
licans in the country. General Hen
derson’s appearance in Chicago with
Allison is significant. It may be
taken to mean that the distinguished
lowans are here to receive callers.”
Senator Allison’s lieutenants are en
deavoring to perfect a combination in
which the details are all planned and
which may meet the favorable atten
tion of Republican leaders in the east
ern states now supposedly committed
to the candidacy of Thomas IS. lleed,
in the event that Reed fails to get the
nomination. This plan, which is said
upon good authority Clarkson is en
gineering, has for its object the nomi
nation of Allison for president and of
General MeAlpin of New York for
second place on the ticket.
BAPTISTS IN CONGRESS.
The National Convention Opened—Impop*
tant Matters to lie Obnsidered.
Providence, R. L, Nov. 13.—The
national convention of Baptists opened
here to-day with a great attendance.
Among the delegates is John D. Rocke
feller, ivho is very prominent in the
church on account of his liberal en
dowment of its educational and elee
mosynary institutions. The clerical
representation is also imposing. Every
prominent Baptist interest in the
United States is represented.
Homo missions have assumed great
importance. Dr. Thomas J. Morgan,
who is secretary of the society in.
charge of this work, has prepared a
report of unusual interest tioon which
the congress will take action. In the
West and Northwest the Baptist
church is making giant strides, but
the lack of funds and men is a
source of embarrassment. Dr. Mor
gan is the leader of this mis
sion work, and what he has to
say on the subject will recoivo great
attention. The missionaries through
out the country have, in not a few
cases, attained unusual eminence for
denominational workers. Among
these are the Rev. N. B. Rairden, who
labors in Missouri; the Rev. C. E. Con
ley, stationed in Michigan; the Rev. -
E. B. Meredith of lyansas, and the Rev.
A. W. Clark of Nebraska.
It is very likely that the congress
will take some action with reference
to the University of Chicago. A very
general impression exists iii the public
mind that the university is in some
manner or other an official exponent
of Baptist ideas. This tuiluenee has
been very disagreeable to Baptists
everywhere.
The question of the missions in
China will receive special ■ attention,
with a view to joining with other de
nominations for the protection of mis
sionaries.

Not a Pressing Issue.
Washington, Nov. 13.—Lord Salis
bury’s failure to mention the Venezue
lan question, in his Guild hall speech,
is regarded as a most significant omis
Bion. _ The speech summed up the
premier’s position on all the foreign
questions regarded as of pressing im
portance, so that this avoidance of all
mention of Venezuela is construed to
moan that he attaches less importance
to it, aod to the controversy over the
Monroe doctrind than had been sup
posed.

Or. William T. Lee of Benton, a
