Let tlie j.coplo rejoice, aul give thunks to tlio Sujinnie ICulcr of the uui verse for his countless blessings. The people , of Nebraska have most abundant reasons for hearfelt gratitude to Him for his guardian care and keeping. "They should give praise: That He has blessed Xlmm with citizenship in this favored coWTnon wealth; that He has conferred upon them tc blessing of peace and social order; that lie has rewarded the labors of the husbandmen with niost bountiful harvests; that He has stayed pestilence from our borders; that lie has conferred upon us general health and prosperity; that all are permitted to live under the benitieent influences of educa tion and Christianity. Therefore, in acknowledge ment of all these iiietci'", and in accordance with a most approp'i'iate custom, I, J lin SI. Tlnycr, governor of the state of Nebras ka, do hereby designate Thursday, the iitli day of this month, as a day of thanksgiving and praise to our heavenly Father. I tvsp ( tt'iilly urge that all the p.ople of Hi'- statu abstain from tin ir usual avo cations on that day and ussi-inblu in their acrii.-t "in' il places of Christian worship and -. w th.'iiks to Him who has so li"Utiti full V bli-ssed us with evidences of v his goodai ss. And 1 et not tins poor be forgotten on this day of thanksgivings. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the S'ate of Nebraska to be nlrixed. Done at Lincoln this tenth day of November, in the year skai.J of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty eight; of this State the Twenty-second; and of the United St ites the-Oue Hundred and Thirtenth. By the Governor: John M. Thayek. G. L. Laws, Secretary of State. It is a sorry wail to hear our disap pointed democratic friends still whining about free whisky as a republican doc trine. When the only democratic vie tory of moment, recorded so far, is that of David C. Hill, in New York, upon the square issue against the saloon made by Warren Miller, republican candidate. Mr. Hill and the whiskey-saloon-trust fought the democratic battle against the temperance army of the Empire state, and the slums of New York and Brooklyn won the battle for democracy. Dare any democrat or any prohibitionist of respet- ability deny this ? It is a fact that the whisky trust of Nebraska put its money into the present canvass, in Nebraska, to Vfeftt every man running for the legis lature who was ever suspected of being favorable to submitting the liquor ques tion to a vote of the people. A demo crat who will stand around these cold days amid the gloom of defeat and croak about the republican party being the advocate of free whiskey must certainly be devoid of shame. A Mysterious Leakage. Washington, Nov. 13. Some irregu larity has been discovered in connection with the transfer of silver dollars from the mint at New Orleans to Washington for storage in a vault in the court yard of tlie treasury building, which has resulted in the loss of $1,500. The treasury oliicials refuse to speak of the matter, and very little is known beyond the facts already stated. The silver is shipped by the Adams Express Company, and tin loss will probably fall upon it unb-ss that it can be proven that the packages containing the money were tampered with before they came into its possession. Indiana's Official Vote. Indianapolis. Nov. 13. Official re turns are: Total gubernatorial vote. 336fi3i, against 49.1,094 in 1884. Gen. Hovey (rep) 2G3.194, Col. Matson (clem) 201,003, Hughes (pro) 9,776, Milroy (labor) 2,661. Hovey's plurality, 2,191, against 7,392 for Goy. Gray in 1884. The prohibition vote in 1SS4 was 8,338. Ofncial returns on presidential electors ure not yet complete, but indicate thus far that that ticket will run a few hun dred ahead of the state ticket. Tne Yellow Fever. Washington, Nov. 13. Surgeon Mar tin, ttt Gainesville, Fla., telegraphs that there is one new case (white) in that city and suggests the withdrawal of the guards, as th fever has gained a foot hold in all quarters of the city.

During the early part of 18fi3 the gen end's division was quietly settled in quar ters in its camp south of MurfreesLoro'. While there he rlated this curious inci dent: "Col Conrad, of the Fifteenth Missouri, informed mo that he got through without much dilliculty; in fact, that everything had pono all right and been eminently satisfactory, except that in returning- he had been mortified by the conduct of th6 two females belonging to the detachment Rnd division train at my headquarters. These women, he said, had given much annoyance by getting drunk, and to some extent demoralizing his men. To say that was astonished at his statement would te a mild way of putting it, and had I not known him to be a most upright man and f sound sense, I should have doubted not only Lis veracity but his sanity. Inquiring who they were and for further details, I was Informed that there certain.lv were in the command two females, that in some mvsterious manner had attached them selves to the service aa soldiers; that one, an East Tennessee woman, was a team ster In the division wagon train and the other a private soldier in a cavalry com pnny temporarily attached to my head quarters for escort duty. While out on the foraging expedition these Amazons had secured a upply of "apple jack" by some means, got very drunk, and on the return had fallen into Stono river and been nearly drowned After they had been fished from the water, in the process of rest scitation their Bex was disclosed, though up to this time It appeared to be known only to each oter. The story was straight and the circumstance clear, so, convinced of Con rad's continued sanity, I directed the pro vost marshal to bring in arrest to my headquarters the two disturbers of Con rad's peace of mind. After some little earch the East Tennessee woman was found in camp, somewhat the worse for the experiences of the day before, but awaiting her fate contentedly smoking a cob pipe. She was brought to me, and put in duress under charge of the division surgeon until her companion could be se cured. To the doctor she related that the year before she had "refugeed" from East Tennessee, and on arriving in Louisville assumed man's apparel and sought and btaiued employment as a teamster in the quartermaster's department. Her feat ures were very large, and so coarse and masculine was her general appearance that she would readily have passed as a man. and in her case the deception was no doubt easily practiced. ".Next day tho "she dragoon' was caught and proved' to be n rather preposst ssing young woman, nr.d i hough l.ccessarily broii.ed and hardened by exposure, 1 uo;;bt if. even with these marks of cam p2.:gn:i:g. the could have deceived as rca ii'y t.3 did her companion.
