THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, NOVEMBE R 29, 1900 SERMONS 0N PROSPERITY Ckoice Extracts from the Thankegiving Proclamations of Governors, HOPEFUL EXPRESSIONS IN VARIED TONES Bongs of Praise and Joy from Sea to Sea, from Red River to the ullarities of 1t thero should be any lingering doubt 1n the mind of any person as to the gener- ally hopetul feeling throughout the United States on account of the favorable year #00n to close or any question as to the all- prevailing prosperity In states and terri- tories alike, n half hour spent reading over the annual proclamations of the governors fixing a date for Thanksglving day would set the matter at rest finally. These proclamations are without exception short sermons on prosperity, They were written by optimists. They are filled with the spirit which scems to have animated the majority of American citizens as they went to the polls this month and this Is true whether the authors are of one political faith or another. With the proclamation writers this is an eru of peace, prosperity, £0od will and great rejoicing. From Maine o Oregon and from Florida to Montana the #song 18 the same One of the shortest and simplest of the proclamations is that which came from Albany, slgned by the vice president-elect of the United States. He might have in- dulged congratulations somewhat warmer than usual, but he wisely denigd himself this privilege and issued the following: “In accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, now continued for many gonerations, 1 hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November, 1900, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty for the fnnumerable benefits conferred upon the citizens of this state in common with thelr fellow citizens of the whole mation during the year which has just passed; for the material well being which we enjoy and for the chances of moral betterment which are always open to us.” Shaw's Cholce Words, Towa's governor is concise and eloguent. Governor Shaw wrote: “The most ree markable century in the flight of time closes with the most happy and prosperous year in the history of our nation and our state Very abundant has been the yleld from our lands. great has been the product of our mines, the output of our factories and the Increase of our herds. Our people have advanced In all that pertains to materiel prosperity and have become wiser and better as the years have come and gone; and ow, at the close of Anno Domini, 1900, standing at this elevation, with increased hope and yet loftier expectation, it is but reasonable that a great and appreclative people tarry for a day to give thanks to the great Giver of all that s good, the Pre- server of all that is best.” New England Thankfulness. Governor Lounsbury of Connecticut calls on his people to give thanks for “a pros- perity which fills our land with plenty and for a civilization which endears and con- secrates the assoclations of home." Governor Rolllns of New Hampshire puts 1t this way: “The husbandman has been rewarded with bounteous harvests; labor | has received satisfactory remuneration; manufacturers have found a ready market | for their products; success has rested on | our arms and prosperity has smiled upon | our country." Governor Crane of Massachusetts de- clares: ‘Massachusetts has abundant cause for gratitude to Almighty God. Her in- stitutlons of liberty, cducation and charity | have wonderfully prospered; a strong and resoluto people, obeying law and loviog order, have reared here a great common- wealth that has ever cherished—and never more ardently than now-—those precepts of public and private conduct which promote good citizonship and those belfefs in| spiritual truths which exalt character and preserve society.” Governor Stickney of Vermont opened with the following prelude: “In the year of (he adoption of the first constitution of | the state, after tho harvest had been gathered, our fathers, by thelr council of | safety, appotuted a 'lme ‘to be obgerved as a day of publlc thanksgiving and prayer throughout the state of Vermont.' ™ Governor Powers was in cheerful mood | when he published the following for the benefit of Maine optimists: “As we ap- proach the end of the year and the sunset hour of this nineteenth century, the peopla of Maine should be truly thankful to Al- mighty God for the blessings and progress which (Lis year and the century have brought to them and to the state; for the spirit of patriotism, love of country and unflinching devotion to duty which have pervaded both our state and nation; and for the bright sun of hcpe, prosperity and | confidence fn the future already Hiuminat- ing the threshold of the coming year.

Governor Geer of Oregon wrote of “the courage and high purpose that animated our ploneer fathers and mothers” in re- deeming the promised land and, continuing, sald: “The people of Oregon have special reason for engaging In thanksgiving exer cises, since this has been one of the most satisfactory years in all lines of materlal prosperity our state has ever kmown. At o time in our bistory can it be said that our people have enjoyed greater freedom from contaglous or other diseases or from want or calamity of any kind. There is an abundance of the necessaries of life every- where easily within the reach of all clayses of our people, and as high a percentage of our population fs employed upon satistac- tory terms of remuneration as has ever prevalled In the history of the state. Our #cheols are liberally supported, largely by the munificence of the general government through the agercy of a perpetual endow- ment and are well attended in all our rural as well as more populous districts. Our people are orderly and peace prevails everywhere within the domain of our cher- tshed commonwealth, whoso future fs un- dimmed by any presage of untoward cir- cumstance.' Governor Smith, for Montana people, stated It this way: “Our people of all clasges, whether engaged in mining, farm- ing, stock raising or in the shops or bus- iness centers, bave been blessed with con- stant and repunerative labor and have en- Joyed such measure of prosperity as alto- gether brings contentment and happiness to our people.” Missourl’s Special Thankfalness. Governor Stephens of Missour! wrote the longest of the proclamations, prefaced with the following: “The present year closes the most wonderful century in the history of mankind. The time is most appropriato for reviewing with gratitude the causes which, under the blessings of God, have during the last hundred years conspired to glve us first place among the people of the earth,” The governor indulges in a little of this appropriate reviewlng and continues: “We should remember with deep thanksgiving the growing disposition on the part of those who have been fortunate in the accumula- tlon of great wealth, to establish institu- tions, the object of which Is to give to the wholo people in higher forms the riches they have secured by.toil and self-sacrifice. The money they acquire by the application of Intelligence and skill to the raw materi- als furnished by the bounties of nature they use to feed the common mind through in- stitutious of learning, through pubiic 1i- braries and through galleries of art. The culture, the high {deals and the noblo as- pirations fostered by such public institu- tions tend Infinitely more to enrich the state than expanse of territory or vast ma- terfal wealth unwisely hoarded for selfish ends. With sclence, learning, art and re- ligion purring thelr soft and mellowing 1ght upon the lives of all our people, abun- dant scope and opportunity will be fur- nished for the development, not only of the richest country the world ever saw, but also for the fullest growth of the wisest and the most humane. That citizens of our own state have within the past year given to the cause of education amounts of such magni- tude as to excite the attention of the world 18 cause suffictent to thrill the hearts of all our people.” Hoosler Contentment. Governor Mount of Indiana in his proc- lamation sald: “We cannot recount all the evidences of divine favor; they are more than can be numbered. Abounding plenty cheers the hours and gladdens the hearts of our people. Employment invites to ac- tivity all who scek work. The rewards of industry make it possible for all to enjoy God's bounteous blessings. Inventive ge- nlus has added to the store of human com- fort. Immunity from pestilence and dis- case, with freedom from discord and strife, are conditions calling for the expri lon of gratitude from our hearts. The spirit of conciliation and inte led to laws for the adjustment of differ ences through peaceful arbitration, henco the peace and prosperity of our sinte not been menaced by danger to life and property.” Governor Stone of Pennsylvania wrot “The citizens of our commonwealth enjoyed condition of unusual prosperity Labor hus had constant employment at good wage Our crops have been bountiful and various products of industry have found new markets {u all parts of the world. o groat calamity or epidemic has visited us and the general health of our people has been excellent. Our state has continued its stendy and healthy advance toward a higher citizenskip and the future is bright and promising.” Southern Sentiments, Governor Jones of Arkansas is briet. He refers in his proclamation to state prece- dents and says that “in obedience to the beautiful and time-honoied custom of these United States and in recognition of the mercy and bounty of God" his people should glve thanks. Governor Heard of Lovielana says pecially should we be thankful for the bounteous returns of the friuts of the carth; for the material prosperity of our state; for the immunity from disaster of eny kind and for the peace and harmony which prevalls in our midst and lends a renewed spirit of hopefulness for the fu- ture.” Governor Tyler of Virginia wrote: “\While we have not been especially favored during the last year with good seasons, our bless- ings have been so manifold that our hearts should be unfeignedly thankful. We have been exempt from great disease and Qisaster and our homes preserved in peace and contentment.' The governor of the Old Dominion also expresses joy because “we have a country where we can work out our destinfes un- molested by the ravages of pestilence that afict other lands and where, frem our natural isolated position, our frontler is guarded by the cternal hand of God." Governor McSweeney of North Carolina gave his state the following bit of ad- vertlsing: “In the providence of God we bave been spared as a people and as a state for monther year, peace and prosper ity, health and happincss have heen vouch- safed to us. We have not been visited by plague or pestilence. The labor of our n attended by success and grown in material wealth New manufacturing enterprises have sprung up and we are fast becoming a great_ manufacturing people. The husband- wan has been permitted to plant and to reap, and enjoys the fruits of his labor.

Fdu tion and Christfanity go hand in hand; o colleges and schools are filled and the cultivation of the head and heart is ke ing pace with the material development of the state.” Why Floridans Are Happy. Governor Bloxham of Florida catalogues the things for which the people of his state should be thankful as follo “Wao kave just passed through a great and ex- citing political contest, invelving our en- tire country, and the absence of discrder or lawlessnoss at the polls and the guiet acceptance of the verdict again evidences tho capacity of the American people for selt-government, Florida’s agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, transportation “Es- the st Lincoln nters 06 8. 11th st Lincoln 182 0'at Tineoin C B.

North Dakota's Song. Acting Governor Joseph Melancthon De- vine of North Dakota utters a paean of praise and glorification unequaled by any Thanksgiving proclamation. Here Is an extract from the great document: “God of our Fathers, known of old; Lord of our far-flunk battie line, Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominjon cver palm and pine, Lord God of Tloats be With us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget “The president of the United States has proclaimed Thursday, November 29, as a day of thanksgiving and prayer to the Omnipotent Belng who in divine mercy and grace has enthroned this republic first among the nations of the earth; who has guided our advancing clvilization from the struggling infancy of national life to that time when our military, naval and com- mercial supremacy Is acknowledged amoug the nations of men. At this perfod when | the year 1900 I running out Its days and the glowing dawn of the twentleth cen- tury is already breaking with radiant prom- 180 of great events in the &ky of the future; when as a government and as a people we have spread abroad the splendid possibilities of our nation's greatness, this day of thanks- EIving of the year 1000 takes on A new and broader meaning than the day has ever had before, “We ehould be thankful for the way In which this great people in the first flush of its mighty manhood is moving forward | to meet Its destiny and to do without filnching every duty with which that des- tiny brings it face to face. We should be espectally thankful that during the year now closing in the early dawning of a new contury our star of national destiny is proaching the zenith of its brilllagcy un- tarnished by a single blot of dishonor and the holy aspirations of our fathers are be- ing realized. We should render heartfelt thanks for the senson of unexampled com- merclal prosperity; for the operation of mills and factories at their fullest capacity; for the elevation of labor and its fullest com- pensation: for the preservation from pestil- ence and disease; for the happy content- ment of all the people, and for that loyal and patriotic judgment of our citizens which insures the permanency and strength of our government. “Let the evening be devoted to the chil- drefi. Make merry in the good old ways. Roll back tho burden of the years. A day thus spent will not only be a living service 1o God, but a blessing to others and a benediction to ourselves.” Territorial Good Cheer. Oklahoma has also shared in the good things of the year and Governor Barnes uscs these words in calling for a day of thanks: “Oklahoma has been blessed with another year of plenty; the garnered harvest has been most bountiful; field and orchard have ylelded an abundance; our people have enjoyed univereal prosperity; neither famine nor pestilence nor storm has wrought havoe within the borders of our territory; us individuals and as a peo- ple we have been singularly blessed.” Governor Otero of New Mexico called for thanks for “‘the kindly fruits of the earth in their season and for our immunity from the disease and calamity which has come to somie parts of our unfon.” Church Services Todny.

JOHNSTON Former Advance Agent Thrives on Dand Conductor's Good Naie, HOTEL CONTRACTS SIGNED WITHOUT LIMIT “Plecolo” Johnston Sald to Have Musqueraded as Innes’ Employe in Order to Serve Pur- poses of Hix Own, Robert E. Johnston, the former advance agent of Innes' band, has & two-fold res son for giving thanks today. He ought to feel a certain amount of gratitude because the business men of his acquaintance di play credulity that can be turned into coin of the realm and a further ground of congratulation s his that hls address has not been temporarily changed from the Henshaw hotel to the city jall. A vigorous search was made for Johnston yesterday afternoon at the instance of a number of hotel proprietors, rallroad officials aud other business men, ipcluding the agents of Innes, the director of the band bearing that name. The band director has pro- terred wholesale charges against his former employe, asserting thet he has made use of the old-time connection with the musfcal organization to get money from men who do not know that he has been dlscharged. In trylug to get track of Johnston in this city Mr. Innes told men interested in the hunt that the Coates house of Kansas City has secured a warrant for his ar- rest. “The Instance of the Coates house is only one of many,” said Mr. Innes, “as John- ston has been ralsing money right and left by imposing on people who are un- | aware of his discharge as advance agent | of the band. Johnston was glven his ro- lease in Atlanta, Ga., because of ques- tlonable transactions and that since then he has traveled over the itinerary of the band a few days in advance of the organi- zation representicg himself to be the agent still, in this way raisiog money ir nearly all the cities he visited. Hotels Yield Tribute, Johnston s in the habit of golng to a hotel and getting a commission in ad- vance for promising to quarter the band members at the hostelry on the date of their engagement in the city in question Frequently he has worked the same trick at more than one hotel in the city. The reilroads and the baggage transter lines have also been made to contribute to his funds through much the same kind of an arrangement. Johnston kas bargalned with the oxpress lines to haul baggage of the band between the depots and the hotels at a rate which brought revenue to himself in advance. He also had the agents of the railrond ticket offices meet iu the usual way and bid for the contract of transporting the Inmes organization. From some of the bidders he has gotten tran portation and then sold it to outside ticket dealers. “Johnston retained a lot of the bills and posters used in advertising the band at the time of his discharge, making it an easy matter to persuade the men with whom he comes in contact that he is the authorized advance agent. The fact that he has beer. in our employment for a good many years makes the deception easier still. He has managed to keep a few days ahead of the band without being appre- hended until Omaha was reached. John- ston arrived Sunday night and applied to Manager O'Brien of the Henshaw hotel for rates. He was told that there was not room for the band members at that hos- telry, but as the proprietor remembered that he was In the city trying to secure an engagement for Mr. Innes last July, he Aid not hesitate to lend Johnston $30 at his request. Monday a telegram came from the proprictor of the Coates house at Kansas Clity asking for information re- garding Johnston, but at that time he had left the Henshaw hotel and he has not returned since.' Mr. Innex was at Frcmont last night. He receded to this city by Manager Albert, who has been investigating the escapades of Johnston. Welcomed to Nebraska. Innes and his band gave their first con- cert on Nebraeka soll, since the memorable expoeition of 1898, at Nebraska City yes- | terday afternoon. In the evening they ap- peared at Lincoln and were grected by a wildly enthusiastic audlence, which de- manded encores from the beginning to the | dition to the Injury [EARTHWORK IS NOW FAVORED Willing to Make Concesstons In Order to a Viadu, arge ecure The refusal of the owners of the prop- erty abutting the proposed Twenty-fourth street viaduct to sign a waiver of damages which may result from the construction of that roadway, has worked a revolution in the Ideas of the Southwest Improvement cliib regarding the character of the struc- ture. At a meeting of the club last night the viaduct question was discussed at length upon the report of a committee which had consulted with the property owners When the plans were first submitted by the railvoad company the engineer had made arrangements for an earthen em- bankment from Hickory street to the north side of the Union Pacific tracks. At the suggestion of the owners of the abut- ting property, who desired the land left so that other roads could pass under the viaduct and the lots be used for ware- houses the club took a decided stand against the earthen embankment. The plans were changed and the earthwork re- duced to an approach ninety feet loug The rallrond company agred to pay all damages It the earthwork was not changed, but depended upon the city to pay the damages under the present plan Last night the members of the club ex- pressed themselves in favor of returning to the original plans, as they thought this would result In the completion of the viaduct In the shortest time. W. H. Green, M. J. Feenan, B. F. More- arty, Henry Rohlff, i'red Zotzmann, Jacob Schamel, C. H. Haller, Louls Peterson, A. A. Perry and G. 8.

The charter revislon committee of the city council met last night, all members being present except three. W. P. Ad- kins, president of the city council, was elected chalrman of the meeting and after a general discussion of the matters per- taining to the interests of the city it was decided to appoint a subcommittee of three to draft sections of the charter, which will later on be submitted to the commit- tee as a whol This committee s com- posed of Adkins, Johnston and Montgomery. 1t 1s the voderstanding that the full com- mittee will meet once each week to re- velve reports from this subcommittee, During the discussion of a recent attack upon the committee in an Omaha paper the attention of Judge Montgomery was called to statements made regarding the committee appointed by the council and he sald that he was mot aware of his appointment as o member until he saw an announcement of it in the papers of Tues- day. He sald that so far as he was com- cerned he regarded the appolintment an honor coupled with a vast deal of time and hard labor, whick would be in the nature of a gratuity to the public. This time and labor, Mr. Montgomery sald, he could not well afford to donate, but inas- much as the public had paid him for his time in acquiriag a familiarity with the present charter provisions he felt that he was Indebted to the people to the extent of rendering any assistance he was able to offer in cornection with a revision of the charter. Whatever this committee does {n con- nection with the making of a new charter will be sutmitted to a mass meeting of the people before it is given to the city council for endorsement.
