Thanksgiving in Nebraska.
Governor Holcomb has issued the following -
lowing :
Jn harmony with a custom as old as
our government and conforming to- the
proclamation of the president of the
United States , I , Silas A. Holcomb , governor -
ernor of the state of Nebraska , by virtue -
tue of the authority in me vested by
law , do hereby designate and set apart
Thursday , the 28th day of November ,
A , D. , 1895 , as a day of solemn and pub-
lie 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 en.4ghtened . 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 prosperity -
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 the
poor and unfortunate among us , not by
prayers alone , but by acts of charity
and benevolence manifested in such
substantial manneraswill make the recipients -
cipients thereof most happy and con-
tented.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto -
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 , this 0th clay of November , in the
year of our Lord , One Thousand Eight
llunrlred and Ninety-five ; of the state ,

+ pendence of the United States , the One
Hundred and Twentieth.

Murdcred 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 man 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 range in Colorado. lIe
stayed with Nelson over night , but did
not give his name. In the morning
early he 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 hehad reached
shooting distance. Applegate , afterr
the first shot , is supposed to have decided -
cided to clinch the man and started for
him , pulling his 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.
' 'ire shot struck him just above the
check bone , causing instant death.
No one knows who the murderer was
or the cause for the crime , but he is
supposed to be a man with whom Ap
pledate had had trouble while living in
Colorado. Le told Majors last summer
that he had caused the separation of a
man and his wife in Colorado , and the
husband had sworn to follow him and
kill himn if it took twenty years. The
+ man who committed the deed is prou-
ably the one who had vowed ven-
geance. Ile has never been seen since
the murder was committed. Apniegate
is well known here as a sober , industri-
us man.
All State Fair Bills Paid.
The board of managers of the state
board of agriculture , at a meeting held
in Omaha , completed checking up ae-
counts of the late state fair and after
the last of the bills had been paid
found a good four figure balance on the
ri.rrht side of the cash book. All the
members of the board expressed themselves -
selves as well pleased with the result
and as confident that the fair next year
will be larger and a still greater sue-
i
cess.
Chairman Dinsmore and Secretary
Furnas were nppointed delegates to attend -
tend the meeting of the western and
eastern fair associations and the Amer-
lean Shorthorn Breeders' annual convention -
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 fair board in Lincoln next Janu-
ary. During the annual meeting of the
board , the annual corn show , which
promises to exceed all previous shows
of the kind , and the annual meeting of
the State Farmers' institute will also
be held in Lincoln.
Another Cause for Trouble.
Lincoln dispatch : There is a new
cause for disagreement between Warden -
den Leiditrh of the penitentiary and
the state board of public lands and
buildings. 'The new cause of disagreement -
ment between these contending parties -
ties arises from the reported sale by
the warden of some of the hots , a carload -
load , which were raised on the penitentiary -
tentiary grounds and are the property
of the state. The members of the
board say that this selling of state
property by the head of a state insti-
tution without the 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 purchases -
chases and sales of property. and it
says it is supposed that the members
shalll know of such transactions.
Dorsey Mnst Pay.
Judge Shiras today , says a Lincoln
dispatch , rendered his deci lon in the
case wherein Albert Watkins , as receiver -
ceiver for the Ponca National bank ,
sought to have a transfer of stock by
G. 1V. E. Dorsey to Frank Dorsey set
aside. The receiver alleged that Frank
Dorsey was insolvent and the transfer
just before the failure of the bank waste
to protect G : W. E. Dorsey from liability -
ity to assessment The court set aside
the transfer , and the judgment recites
that G. W. E. Dorsey must pay the assessments -
sessments , which amount to 100 per
cent. f

know my desires on this subject and
will act accordingly. No man , I believe -
lieve , can truthfully say he would netlike
like to be President It is an honor to

made a candidate under any consider-
ation. I do not want office of any
kind. "

life , and those who know me are aware
of the reasons. "

General Miles Says Any Foreign Navy Can
Blockade Our Ports In Ninety Days
Absolute Importance of Dcfeneo of the
Entire Pacific Coast-Argument for An
Increase of the Strength of the Army
In Proportion to the Country'a Growth.
We Are Dofenseless.
WASRrNtlfoN , Nov. 13.-In his annual -
nual report General Miles , commanding -
manding the army , states that
the condition of our sea coast defenses -
fenses is such as to require decided -
cided and immediate action for their
improvement. The unguarded condition -
tion of our coast is known by every
first-class power , and our people should
not be led into false security. lie
quotes from his report of 1534 a strong
argument for the defense of Puget
sound , shows that since that time new
Canadian railroads have been estab
lisliecl there , yet not a single gun has
been placed in position for defense ,
while those at the entrance of the Columbia -
lumbia river are obsolete and of littie
value.
General Miles recalls what lie said in
his report of ISS9 upon the absolute
importance of the defense of the entire -
tire Pacific coast , in view of the fact
that it was possible for any naval
power to blockade every important
port within ninety clays , while it
would take many years to make a successful -
cessful resistance , and the country
might be required to pay an indemnity
of $5,000,000,000. While the railroads
might transport 1,000,000 brave men to
the coast , they would be useless with-
outapplianees to cope with the modern -
ern engines of tvar , and with all our
intelligence , pride , inventive genhts
and enterprise , we are as far behind in
the modern applianees of war as China
or Japan. Such were the conditions
sixyears ago , says General Miles , and
such are time conditions to-day , with
the of the
exception slight progress
made at San Francisco. The entire
Gulf coast and all the great cities of
the Atlantic coast northward to Phila-
dclphia 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 tart the expense -
pense of this costly undertaking lie
suggests the application of the funds
that might be derived from the sale of
abandoned military resertations. To
man these nuns he asks an increase of
the artillery arni , rvrtli the provision
of barracks at Fort llaneocis , N. Y. ,
for the accommodation of the troops ,
and the systematic detail of subaltern
officers for instruction in rotation in
this iiiaee.
General Miles argues for an increase
in the strength of the army , saying
that there is no reason why it should
become crystallized and kept at one
strength , as it has been for years. It
should increase with the growth of
the ca entry and be determined by the
census at a minimum of one soldier -
dier for every 2,000 population and a
maximum of one in 1,000.
THE CUBAN ISSUE.
Iiellef That the President Wrlt Iecoen-
niend Itecotnltion of BeIiigercacy.
11'ASIriNGT0x , Nov. -Secretary
Olney is said to feel more encouraged
than at any time since lie began to
talk to the President about the justice
and desirability of some mterfcrence
in Cuban affairs. For quite a time the
President has been in a hesitating
mood. lie thought of sending somebody -
body to make an investigation ,
just as lie did regarding Iiawaiian
affairs , but Mr. Olney pointed out that
such a step would be in an indirect
way a recognition of the revolutionists -
ists , and that the Cnited States might
as well act directly and promptly.
The representatives of the revolutionists -
ists are elated over the information
that the President is % nciincd to do
something. They are very confident
that his message to Congress will be
much more radical than his recent
apparent indifference would indicat : ' .
Recognition of the insurgents' government -
ernment will be recommended , they
think.

BAPTISTS IN CONGRESS. '
The National Convention Opened-Impor L
taut Matters to Bo Considered. V
PROVIDENCE , P. I. , Nov. 13.-The
national convention of Ilaptists opened
here today with a great attendance.
Among the delegates isJohn D. Rockefeller -
feller , tivlro is very prominent in the
church on account of his liberal en-
clowment of its educational and eleemosynary -
mosynary institutions. The clerical
representation is also imposing. Every , .
prominent Baptist interest in the ° '
United States is represented.
Hornc 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 upon which '
the congress will take action. In the I I
West and Northwest the Baptist r
church is making giant strides , but
a I
the lack of funds and men is a f
source of embarrassment Dr . '
gan is the leader of this
sion work , and what ho has t a 'fri
say on the subject will receive tire : t
attention. The missionaries tlu oufh- ,
out the eotuiti-V have , in not a flew '
cases , attained unusual eminence for
denominational workers. Amc ng
these are the I + er. \ . L. Rairden , v ho ' 1 i 1

labors in Missouri ; the Rev. C. L. don- . . r'
ley , stationed in Michigan ; the i , ev. / I I
E. L. Meredith of Kansas , and the r cv. . 4 r
A. W. Clark of Nebraska. ' '
It is veiny likely that the eongr7l ss , (
will take sonic action with refere : ee
to the University of Chicago. A ve , , y r
general impression exists in the puibL e ' 7 '
mind that the university is in sonic
manner or other an official exnoncitt
of Baptist ideas. This influence has '
7
been ' ; r
very disagre'eablc to Baptists 7
everywhere.
The question of the missions in V " j + l
China will receive special attention , ,
with a view to joining with other denominations - { + I
nominations for the protection of mis- ,
