Charges of Murder Against an Iowa Farmer, 5 REPORTS OF LAST NIGHTS METEORS America's Proposals to the Mon- etary Conference. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. BLUEBEARD UP TO DATE. An Iowa Farmer Suspected of Having Killed His Wives. Rrverton, Iowa, Nov. 24.—Fremont county is excited over the mysterious death of Mra. Wm. Mayhor. Sho lived with her husband on ® farm near here with two small children of Mayhor's wife by a former marriage. May- hor's fourth wife died some time ago. He was then living near Axtell, Kan., and advertised in the Kansas City papers for a housekeeper. A Mra. Erbeck of that city answered. the adver- tinement and was engaged. At the time she an- swered the advertisement Afra. Erbeck was ¢1 ployed as a bookkeeper for a Kansas City whole- sale house, and supported herself and two children. Shortly after she went to Mr. Mayhor his housekeeper she became his wife, and they removed toa farm near Riverton. So far scan be learned "Mayhor and his fifth wife lived happily together, although there are vague rumors adoat of trouble. between them. te Mayhor, it appears, was -wubject to attacks of toothache, and, according to Mayhor's testi- mony before the coroner's jury, she bad ox- rienced relief by the nse of quinine. ‘The day Botore her death Sirs, Mayhor secured from Dr. Gougon of Riverton, a relative of her husband, asmall amount of quinine in bulk. ‘This was on Monday, October 24. ‘That day Mayhor filled six capsules with the quinine and Mrs. Mayhor took three of them. On Tuesday evening, October 25, Mrs. Mayhor swallowed the other three capsules, was seized with violent spasms and died within an hour. It now developed that three former wives of Mayhor died under suspicions circumstances, and the coroner's examination of the remains of the fifth Mra. Mayhor disclosed traces of poison, but he adjourned the hearing until further evidence could be procured. It was shown at the inquest that there was an insurance of $5,000 on the life of the la#t Mra. Mayhor, and that it was taken out after her marriage to Mayhor. — SEEING “FALLING STARS.” Observing the Comet and Showers of ‘Meteors, Dexven, Cot., Nov. 24.—The much-talked-of the Chamberlain ob- last night by Prof. small scope of the comet was viewed from servatory in this city Howe. Owing to tho observatory’s glass nothing very defi- nite was learned. The comet was visible, however, and exhibited a gaseous appearance, throngh which the stars could be seen. The | dhrection in which it was traveling could not be ascertained. Several meteors were seen falling during the night, but they were at great dis- tance. Cutcaco, Nov. 24.—Hundreds of meteors shot acrovs the sky last night and the display was far ahead of anything of the kind seen here in many years. At the Kenwood observatory Prof. Hule counted 100 in twelve minutes, ard he said that at some times they came faster than that. He declares that the star shower has nothing to do with the comet.

Reasons for Thanksgiving Set Forth by the Preachers. PRAYER AND PATRIOTISM. Sermons in Many Churches—The Many Blessings Conferred Upon This Land for Which we Should Be Thankfal—The Pres- ident at Church, With a great many to attend church ie as much a part of the observance of Thanksgiving day as to have turkey for dinner. There is a very general feeling of this sort among the good people of this city, and independent of the case today. The church services were well attended and the congregations listened to ser- mons of a patriotic character, which taught the lessons of good citizenship. After hearing about their duty as citizens the church goers then went home and did their duty toward the dinner which had been provided. AMERICA’S CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE. Dr. Brown at Foundry Points Out Many Causes for Thankfulness. Rev. Dr. Oliver A. Brown preached at Foundry Church today from the text ‘The Lord is Good to All.” Dr. Brown spoke in substance as follows: We are assembled in this house of God today in accordance with the Promptings of our thankful Learts as well as in compliance with the proclamation of our noble chief magistrate, who, though in deepest sor- Tow because of his recent and bereavement, vet summons a sympathizing nation to grateful acknéwledgment of the goodness of God in words which touched the hearts of all peoples. I congratulate you all on the return of this day. With perhaps one exception—the anniversary of the birth of our blessed Lord—around no other day of the year cluster so many tender memories and fond associations. The happy reunions, the grateful remembrances, the feast- ing, the mirth, the thanksgivings, the warm, loving hearts it carries in its bosom, all make it a day whose coming is longed for while it is yet future and not to be forgoeten when it is past. In the midst of its Joy always seems 60 good, man is so kind and home is so sweet, and now let us take up the strain of the royal min- strel, David, in which, while sweeping the harp strings, he #o often voiced the feelings of his grateful heart, ‘The Lord is Good to All.” WHY AMERICANS SHOULD RE GRATEFUL. This declaration of the President is of uni- versal application, but is especially applicable to the people of this nation, because we ar the enjoyment of blessings such us other ni tions have never known. But we cannot prop- erly appreciate, and therefore will not be suf- ficiently grateful for, any of these blessings without firet of all being thankful that we live. 1. Thank God for life, with all its opportuni- ties and privileges and glorious ministries. This is the gift around which all other gifts cluster, and if to any,even in the humblest sphere, it seems a light bestowment then all other gifts are vain and such a life is not worth the living. 2. Thank God for our land, and I know not where bencath the sun there isa more goodiy innd, or one better calculated as a theater for human activity and for the happiness and de- velopment of a great people. Brighter skies, and balmier air, and more genial temperature, and richer soil there may be, but these are not the conditions for the development of free and noble men. They really weaken and enervate. ‘The greatest leaders and mightiest peoples have had their homes in the midst of broken but glo- | rious scenery, when the climnte was rigorous and the soil rewarded only faithful and patient labor. Our land is rich in natural beauty and possestes a charming variety of scenery climate embraces nearly all temperatures. products of the soil differ with the diff | Sections, and our industries, too, are widely | different, As one country produces something | which other countries have not so each section | of our land has its peculiar products and indus- tries which contribute to the comfort and hap- piness of the whole people. While we join in thankegiving for life let us also be grateful for a home in the fairest of all lands. id LIBERTY. 8.

In thi country such a union finds no piace. and today the church is more spiritual mightier because they are di id separate, | though one in love of country and in interest in the welfare of her institutions. LEAR: 6. Thank God for learning. An intelligent | citizenship is an absolute necessity to a re- | public. Knowledge cannot be monopolized by the few as in despotism. Our fathers saw the need and made provision for it and laid the foundation of the church and school house side | by ide, and in the years that have followed everywhere thronghout the land, upon almost every inviting eminence, have been planted public schools free and open to all. By means of these intelligence and learning are being gen- erally diffused among the great multitude and by this general diffusion of intelligence amorg the masses will our free institutions be pre- served. 7. Thank God for literature. Literature is | the great power of the modern world whether |in, books or magazines or the press. It is mightier for the Congresses and parliaments | and kin, Fetter it you may, but the more it is bound the mightier it becomes, Fettered or unfettered it hasever led the way for liberty to victory, and so long as its voice can be heard our rights are secure.

Is it not because they stand for the “‘going out and the coming in” of men in all the intercourses of commerce, of charity, of brotherly help and brotherly love?

Our nation should build roads and cast up all the highways for God,for such is the bounden duty of man—to make away for the coming of the kingdom of God, for God verily to come and reign over us. But all the high- ways we can build, whether physical or intel- lectual or moral, are only the and the effects of that perfect way that hath built for himself in the truth or word which was in- carnate in the Lord Jesus Christ.
