Thanksgiving day was generally ob
served as a holiday In Council - Bluffs.
Practically all the stores were closed by
noon and In accordance with the Iowa
mulct law the saloons kept closed all day,
consequently there was a lack of hilarity
which might have resulted from an over
indulgence In "Tom and Jerry," the popu
lar tipple on Thanksgiving day. One lone
drunk only appeared on the police register
and this . unfortunate was said to have
brought his Jag with him from across the
river.
For the religiously Inclined there were
union services In the evening at the Second
Presbyterian church, which were well at
tended The Thanksgiving -sermon was
preached by Rev. J. W. Jones, rector of
St. Paul's Episcopal church, who took as
his topic, "Why We Are Thankful." There
were also services In the evening at the
Union City mission and communion service
at St. Paul's .Episcopal church In the morn
ing.
The Inmates of the county Jail fared well
Mrs. George Hill, wife of the Jailer, served
a dinner tht would dV credit to a first
class hotel. Sheriff McCaffery furnished
cigars In the morning fori he prisoners and
Jailer Hill topped off the fine dinner which
his wife prepVed with another round of
cigars. Jailer Hill's wards adopted unani
mously a set of resolutions thanking Mrs,
Hill for her bounteous dinner.

Crackers. Celery. Pickles.
Roast Chicken with Dressing.
Bread and Butter.
Cranberry Sauce. Home-made Mince Pie.
Two Kinds of Layer Cake.
Coffee. Sugar and Cream.
Apples. Bananas. Mixed Nuts.
While the Inmates of the' city Jail did not
fare so sumptuously as did the prisoners
In tbe' county bastlle, they, nevertheless,
had a better dinner than some of them
would have got had they been at liberty.
Caterer Brooks served turkey with side
trimmings and each man got a piece of
mince pie.
At the Associated Charities creche the
little folks had a fine Thanksgiving dinner
and the youngsters were made happy with

BALFOUR WARNS THE LORDS
Rejection of Budget Will Be but a
Temporary Victory.
BISHOP OF HERTFORD TALKS
Snya Ilndart Should Pass to Check
Haplillr Growing; Spirit of Revolt
Lord Carson Unable to
Kpenk.
LONDON, Nov. 26. "If you win a victory
tory It will be only a temporary one; if
you lose you have prejudiced the position,
power, prestige and usefulness of the House
of Lords, which I believe every one of you
honors and desires to serve as heartily as
I do myself."
In this homely, candid fashion, Lord Bal
four of Burleigh told the members. of the
House of Lords this evening his opinion of
the course they are pursuing with regard
to the budget. He has none of the graces
of oratory which Lord Rosebery possesses,
but his plain, downright manner is not
without effect and his speech was the real
event of yesterday's sitting of the upper
' chamber. It probably Vlli have even
greater Influence that that of Lord Rose
bery, because Rosebery no longer holds
the confidence of any party.
Lord Balfour suld a referendum was Im
possible as a matter of practice and he
also believed the matter proposed by Lord
LanBdowne was worse, lie asserted that
there never was a time when a strong and
conservative second chamber waa more
necessary and he considered it impolitic to
mix the question of the defense of that
chamber with the taxation of food. Lord
Balfour warned the lords that they were
walking Into a trap set by their opponents
and that the step advocated by Lord Lans
downe was false alike to the Interests of
the country and the House of Lords.
' Bishop for Budaet.
"The bishop of Hereford, who Intervened
later In the debate, said that while he re
spected the archbishop of Canterbury's de
sire that the bishops abstain from voting
on ths measure, he claimed the right to
the exercise of IndeDendent Judgment. If
the bishops had any function to perform
it was to speak for the multitudinous poor,
he said; therefore, he supported the budget,
which was a social welfare budKt
passed on sound finance. He was
convinced, he decjured, that the coun
try's answer to an appeal to tha ballot
would be In clear English that never again
shall the fundamental rights of the people
be endangered by a privileged class. He
wished the budget might be passed as a
protection against the rapidly growing
spirit of revolt among the democracy, which
might become dangerous.
Many others of the the peers spoke, but
all of them along ordinary party lines. The
debate was adjourned today until Monday
when Viscount Moreley, Lord Curron and
Iird Rothschild are expected to address
the House.
Demonstration 1st Streets.
Rumors are current tonight that the con
Servatives leaders, seeing the damaging ef
fect that the speeches of Lords Cromer,
Roseberry and Balfour of Burloigh are
likely to have on the conservative cause In
an election, are reconsidering their posi
tion with regard to the budget. But the
best Information Indicates that Lord Lann
downe's resolution against the adoption of
the budget will go to a division and be
carried by an enormous majority. A great
pro-budget demonstration took place to
night In parliament square and that lo
cality. Six thousand persons gathered for
the demonstration and sang political songs
and cheered for David Lloyd-George, chan
cellor of the exchequer. Police to the
number of 1,600 were occupied In keeping
order, but the crowd beoame unmanageable
and the police cleared the square. There

Corson Unable to Speak.
Although this waa the fourth day of tho
budget debate and thn absence of Lord
Curzon, who but for a sudden Indisposition
was to have continued the unionist attack
upon the liberal measure, detracted some
what from the popular Interest, there was
little falling off Inthe attendance when tha
House of Lords met this afternoon.
The benches again were crowded with
pers, members of the House of Commons
were gathered about the throne, and peer
esses, diplomats and other distinguished
persons filled the galleries.
The extension of the time for debate will
give opportunity for more of the lords to
be heard and many maiden speeches will
be made. Lord Rcvelstoke, who has been
a member of the second chamber for twelvo
yetrs, made his first speech In the Houso
of Lords this week.
Lord Ashbourne, who has been a mem
ber of several unionist cabinets, took Lord
Curzon's place In reopening the debate, and
while many were disappointed at the fall urn
of the former viceroy of India to speak,
the visitors heard an orator almost equally
notable.
Lords and History.
Lord Ashbourne contended there was no
authority on constitutional history that dis
puted the right of the lords to act accord
ing to their discretion in accepting tha
budget.
This year's budget, by presenting a va
riety of bills within Its 'covers, sought for
the first time in the history of the budgets
to go far beyond the scope of providing
revenue to meet tho annual expenditures,
he said. He declared the government had
performed an unconstitutional act In tacking
on the budget bill a measure for tho taxa
tion of undeveloped land. Against tha
licensing clauses, which, after the rejection
of the licensing bill, appeared here In a
worse form, he also held was obvious tuck
ing. He added that evidences of the unrest
caused by the budget bill were everywhere.
ConnolB had dropped, he bald, and untold
millions of capital had been driven abroad.
Of what use, he asked, was the House of
Lords, If, when the time for action came,
It could not act?" .
