WHAT IF PROCLAMATION WERE OMITTED
ne. W, J., Barnes Wonders Whnt
Would Happen to the Snll(
PresMent l.iis of Pilgrim
FnthciV .plrl.
Thanksgiving day was observed In Coun
cil Bluffs as In years gone by. Buslneea
was generally suspended and (he dny cele
brated as a holiday. Those rollglously In
clined attended the union rhurch services
In the morning, while others Indulged In
a day of rest. Family gatherings around
the festlvo hoard, at which the llme-hon-nml
turkey was the piece de resistance,
were as usual a fenture of the day. The
foot hall gnmo In the afternoon proved an
attraction for many, as did the 'theaters
In the evening.
Tho union services at the Congregational,
Baptist and Second Tresbylerlan chtirches
attracted fair-sized congregations and tho
Associated Charities will reap a neat sum
from the collections which were taken up
for Its benefit at these churches. 8t,
Francis Xavier's and St. Peter's Catholic
churches observed the day with services at
8 a, m. An all-day service was hsld nt
the Iowa Holiness Association mission on
First avenue and Main street, which was
well attended. The Latter Day Snjnta had
services In observance of Thanksgiving day
In the evening, while the colored citizens
gathered at 11 o'clock In thn morning III
Mount Zlon church to render thanks. At
St. Paul's Episcopal church service was
held In the morning, the rector. Rev. George
Edward Walk, preaching a sermon appro
priate to the day,
All Want Tlinnli itl ring;.
At tho Congregational church Rev. W. S.
Barnes, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church, preached the sermon, taking his
text from Deuteronomy 8:10. He said:
"Ood and the president have both told us
tho same thing. Both are high authorities
and no good citizen can bo proud of himself
who disregards the two-fold injunction to
remember tho giver of all good gifts today.
"I havo been wondering what the people
of tho United States would think If our new
president had failed to Issue tho customary
Thanksgiving proclamation this year. I
Ima'gine ho would have heard a loud demand
arising from this entlro country by this
time. Multitudes would have been crying
out, 'Are we no longer a Christian peo
ple-?' Millions would have been shouting
the word 'heathen' at the guilty president.
For wc nil want Thanksgiving day and we
would Insist upon having it. Some of us
may want It principally for the turkey's
sake; some may want it principally for
the sake of the holiday and the toot bait
game, and some may want It principally
for the Lord's sake; but all want It; and
woe bo to the president who falls to give
It to us.
"But is the president the only pen-on who
needs to bo careful about the maintenance
of Thanksgiving? When once the appro
priate proclamation has been Issued, 's
our Christianity then sufficiently pro
claimed? la our piety then sufficiently
proved? Probably 90 per cent of the peo
ple will make no attempt to comply with
the terms of the proclamation. Perhaps
a majority of the people havo not so much
as read the official document and really
do not know whether or not there Is a
single word In It nbout foot ball or any
other kind of ball, male, female or mixed.
They have their own Ideas of Thanksgiv
ing and even the president's views of the
dav receive but little consideration. This
is not a theory; it is a condition.
Day of the Pllarlm Father.
"The Thanksgiving day that the Pilgrim
Fathers observed in the autumn of 1621 at
Plymouth after thoy had gathered the first
crops from their newly-found lands what
has becomo of it? Many of us have been
compelled to see that to the large ma
jority of the descendants of tho Pilgrim
Fathers the president's religious proclama
tion of Thanksgiving has coma to be merely
a matter of form. Only religious people,
aro expected to respond to tho president's
call and they only by their representa
tives. "No people ever had as much occasion for
humble thankfulness as wo. Our fore
fathers did not have pennies where wo
have dollars to bo thankful for. We our
selves cannot keep pace with the develop
ments of our times. We havo only a vague
conception of tho vast wealth that is being
accumulated In this richly favored land.
And this year, 1901, has exceeded all that
went before it. Wc nil have had some
personal share In the general good; there
fore let no voice be silent on the day ot
Thanksgiving."
In I'lrtt nnptlat Church.
Rev. W. B. Crewdson preached In thu
First Baptist church, taking hU text from
Second Corinthians, 9, 10 und 11. saying In
part;
"The spirit and Intent of this reading an)
In perfect accord with tho spirit and In
tent of this service, which was born of
hearts of gratlude that reached back to iho
day of the pilgrim fathers In 1621, who
lifted their voices to Almighty Ood in
thanksgiving and praise, for the seed sown
and the Increase of Its bountlfulness. but It
never became a national holiday until that
great statesman and prince among mon,
Abraham Lincoln, when our nation was
plunged Into the great vortex of a bloody
war and rejoicing In tha -great victories of
the forces marching ou, It seemed good to
this great and wise man to aend forth a
proclamation to the people'. Therefore, the
15th day of July, 1S63, Abraham Lincoln Is
sued a proclamation of thanksgiving to
Almighty God, calling upon the peoplo of
this nation to meet In their places of wor
ship and lift their voices In thanksgiving
and praise to Almighty God for the victories
won, Therefore, on tho 6th day of August,
186 J. was tho first national thanksgiving
srvlce held In accordance with the proc
lamation Issued by tho chief magistrate nt
this great nation. From that time until
now It has been observed by the president
and governors ot this groat commonwealth
Issuing their respective proclamations and
calling together the people In praise and
thanksgiving to God for His bountlfulness
and tha wondrous Increase of the seed sown
that our hearts might abound In thanksgiv
ing unto our God..

"I would to God In calling this n Chris
tian nation I might Include every Individual

I sen the clouds are breaking, the spirit of
union Is In the air In thn north and south

of
BALTIMORE. Nov. 28. Joe Wolcott got
tho decision over "Young Peter" Jackson
before the Eureka Athletic club hero to
night nfter twenty rounds of perhup the
Fiercest righting ever seen In this city, most
of which was done by Wnlcott. Jackson
being on the defensive from start to finish.
When the men stripped and entered the
ring, nfter three rattling preliminaries;
Jackson stood fully three Inches above
Wnlcott, but lucked tho sturdy build of the
Boston colored man.
Walcott sailed In from the very first,
with the evident Intention of finishing his
man as soon as possible, nnd between
laughs nnd Jokes with the spectatorn nt
tho ringside, simply mined blow after
blow on the Cnllfornlnn. One round was
merely a repetition of another up to the
sixth, Walcott doing hU the leading and
Jackson defending himself ns well hk he
could. In this round Wnlcott sent three
hard Jnbs to the wind and got n stiff one
on the mouth In return. In the elsrhth
Jackson managed to get In n good Jab on
the face, but Walcott pounded him so hnrd
over the henrt and kidneys that he, soon
had him groggy.
The gong saved Jackson, who came up h
little stronger In the next round, hut with
his right eye completely closed and the
blood flowing in streams from his left ear.
From this time on to the tlnlsh It wns
simply a question of whether Wnlcott could
hit nls man often enough nnd hnrd enough
to put him out. The Callfnrnlan, however,
took his grueling with remarkable, fortitude
until tne nrteentn round, when Joe snlled
In and after punching him nil over the ring,
unintentionally tripped him, so thnt Peter
landed on hit back near the ropes.
The chief of police then Interfered and
ordered the fight stopped, to which decision
Peter protested so vigorously that the chief
relented and permitted the pounding to
continue.
Five more rounds of the same kind of
work ensued, Walcott doing nil thn leading
and hitting, while Jackson, with the excep
tion of a, few feeble returns, did nothing
but defend himself and try to keep on his
feet.

DES MOINES, Nov. 28. (Special.)
Thanksgiving day was saddened by early
news of a fatality In I)es Moines and the
death In a far-off city of a prominent citi
zen. Chnrles Melqkey of Adair county, a
wealthy farmer, who Is one of the federal
Jurors nttendlng court here, was found
dead In his room this morning at a small
hotel, llo had returned ns usual and evi
dently fumbled the gas Jet In euch a manner
that IP was left open after being turned
off. He had died from the escaping gas.
Mclnkey had a wife and two children and
lived near Fontanelle, Ho had a large
farm nnd a short time ago took a heavy
shipment of cattle to Chicago. A coroner's
Jury decided that It was purely an acci
dental denth. The body was eent to Casey,
to bo taken to Mb home from there. Meln
key was one of the Jurors In the ense
against Letson Balllet on trial before Judge
Mcl'herson. The case has Just been fairly
entered upon and sonio of the leading wit
nensen have given their testimony nnd de
parted for Oregon and California. It Is
probable that the case will proceed with
eleven Jurors. The government Is willlns;
this should be dono nnd the defendant Is
anxious to havo Governor-elect Cummins
defend him. and this he cannot do If the
case Is not finished now.

A. V. Quint, secretary of a bankers' In
surance company here, who has been giving
a great deal ot attention to the bank robber
ies ot Iowa, declares his belief that the real
heads ot the gang which has been operat
ing In Iowa the last fall have not yet been
caught, and that possibly the robbont taken
at Albert City were not doing much of the
robbing which has been going on. He says:
"I do not hellcvo that there Is one big
gang operating In Iowa, but I believe that
all of the men are more or Icaa associated.
There la a perfect network of these men
working from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
yet not organized under any one gang. De
tectives unite In saying that there never
was a time In tho history of the country
when bad mon woro so numerous.
"I Imagine that there are perhaps fifteen
bad men, really smooth crooks, working In
Iowa. Thoy work out of towns like St.
Paul, Sioux City, Mason City, Marshalltown,
Omaha, St. Joseph and Kansas City. There
are very few of them hanging around Des
Molnee. The officers here are very shrewd
and tho crooks are well aware of It. They
koep moving and dodge Dcs Moines, or make.
themselves very scarce when they are here.
"Theso fifteen mon are undoubtedly di
vided up into small parties. Porhaps not
more than one or two experts are to be
found In a party of five. Tho other three
are tough tramps who aro being Initiated
or who are willing to take their chances in
the danger for the big money offered,"

Ho was one of tho volunteers chosen by
