Theft of Thanksgiving DI Rev. George Edward Walk, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, and his family, did not have the Thanksgiving dinner yesterday that they had provided for the occasion. The turkey and other articles intended for the dinner were placed Wedneaday night n the refrigerator on the back porch of the rectory. When the cook went yester- day morning to get the good things that had been provided she found the retrigerator empty. Someone not connected with the household had been there during the night und taken everything in sight. Rev. Walk consoled himself with the hope that the meal thus clandestinely obtained might serve some poor family A thief also secured the Thanksgiving dinner of the family of T. G.

Those religiousty in clined attended the union church services in the morning, while others indulged in & day of rest. Family gatherings around the festive board, at which the time-hon- ored turkey was the plece de resfatance, were as usual a feature of the day. The foot ball game In the afternoon proved an attraction for many, as did the theaters in the evening The unfon services at the Congregational, | Baptist and Second Presbyterian churches attractad fair-sized congregations and the Associated Charities will reap a neat sum from the collections which were taken up ‘lvu its benefit at these churches.

Al Want Thanksgivin | At the Congregational church Reyv. W. § | Barnes, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, preached the sermon, taking his text trom Deuteronomy 8:10. He said “God and the president have both told us | the eame thing. Both are high authorities and no good citizen can be proud of himselt who disregards the two-fold injunction to remember the giver of all good gifts today “I have heen wondering what the people | of the United States would think if our ne president had failed to issue the customary Thanksgiving proclamation this year. 1 imagine he would have heard a loud demand arising from this entire 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 gullty president. For we all 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 foot ball game, and some may want it principally for the Lord's sake; but all want It; and woe be to the president who falls to give 1t to us. ut is the president the only persnn who needs to be careful about the maintenance of Thanksgiving? When once the appro- priate proclamation has been lesued, 's our Christianity then sufficiently pro- claimed? 1Is our piety then sufMciently 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 have not so much as read the official document and really do not know whether or not there fs & single word in it about 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 day receive but little consideration. This is not a theory; it is & condition Day of the Pligrim Fathers. “The Thanksgiving day tbat the Pllgrim Fathers observed in the autumn of 1621 at Plymouth after they had gathered the first | crops from their newly-found lands—what has become of it? Many of us have been | compelled to mee that to the large ma- jority of the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers the president’s religious proclama- tion of Thanksgiving has come to be merely a matter of form Only religious peoplo are expected to respond to the president's call and they only by thelr representa- tive: “No people ever had as much occasion for | humble thankfulness wa. Our fore- tathers did not have peonies where we have dollars to be thankful for. We our- selves cannot keep pace with the develop- ments of our times. We have only a vague conception of the vast wealth that is being accumulated in this richly favored land And this year, 1901, has exceeded all that went before it. We all have had some personal share in the general good; there- fore let no voice be silent on the day of Thanksgiving." In First Baptist Church. Rev. W. B. Crewdson preached in 'he First Baptist church, taking his text from Second Corinthians, 8, 10 and 11, saylng in part “The spirit and intent of ihis reading ary In perfect accord with the spirit and in- tent of this service, which was born of | hearts of gratitude that reached back to ihe days of the pilgrim fathers in 1621, who lifted their voices to Almighty God in | thanksglving and praise for the seed sown and the increase of its bountifulness. but it | never became a national holiday until that | great statesman and prince among men, Abraham Lincoln. when our nation was plunged nto the great vortex of a bloody war and rejoicing in the great victories of | the forces marching o, it seemed good to | this great and wise man to send forth a | proclamation to the people. Therefore, the 16th day of July, 1883, Abraham Lincoln is- sued a proclamation of thaoksgiviog to | | Almighty God, calling upon the people of | this nation to meet in their places of wor- | |ship and Iift their volces in thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God for the victories won, Therefore, on the 6th day of August, 1863, was the first pational thanksgiving service held In accordance with the proc- lamation lssued by the chief magistrate of | this great nation. From that time until now it has been observed by the president and governors of this great commonwealth {ssuing their respective proclamations and calling together the people In praise and | thanksgiving to God for His bountifulness a0d the wondrous increase of the aeed sown that our hearts might abound in thanksgiv- | ing unto our God “I am glad this morniog that I am an American citizen. 1 am glad that we gather this morning as a part of (his great Amer- ican republic, the greatest nation, I believe an the face of the earth today. ‘I would to God in callivg this a Chbria tian nation 1 might include every individual within its borders, and yat while I caonot, 1 see the clouds are breaking, the spirit of union s in the air in the north and south | | 9 ance and tolerance s being manifest kind drawn closer together and our God man closer to Gravel roofing.

DES MOINES, Nov. 28.-(Special) Thanksgiving day was saddened by early news of a fatality in Des Moines and the death in a far-off city of a prominent citl- zen. Charles Meigkey of Adair county, a wealthy farmer, who is one of the federal Jurors attending court here, was found dead in his room this morning at a small hotel. He had returned as usual and evi dently fumbled the gas jet in auch a manner that it* was left open afier being turned off.

Quint, secretary of a baokers' in- surance company here, who has been giving a great deal of attention to the bauk robber- fes of Towa, declares his belief that the real heads of the gang which has been operat- ing in lowa the last fall have not yet been caught, and that possibly the robbers taken at Albert City were not doing much of the robhing which has been going on. He says: I do not believe that there is one big gang operating In Iowa, but I belleve that all of the men are more or less associated. There is a perfect network of these men working from the Atlantic to the Pacific, yet not organized under any one gang. De- tectives unite in saylng that there never was & time In the history of the country when bad men were 0 numerous. “I imagine that there are perbaps fifteen bad men, really smooth crooks, working in Towa. They 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 Moines. The officers here are very shrewd and the crooks are well aware of {t. They ngton, J this themselves very scarce when they are here. ‘These fifteen men are undoubtedly di- vided up into small parties. Perbaps not more than one or two experts are (o be found in a party of five. The other three are tough tramps who are being initiated or who are willing to take their chances in the danger for the big money offered.” owa Naval Hero Insane, Towa friends of Oscar Diegnan have heard with regret of the insanity of the young man who became famous for having been with Hobson at the sinking of Merrimac. His parents live at Stuart. Oscar, after considérable service as a boy on merchant- men, enlisted in the United States n He was one of the volunteers chosen by Lieutenant Hobson to assist in sinkiog Merrimac in the mouth of Santiago harbor. He and his companions were captured and confined in the Morro castle until the sur- render of Santiago. He came home in the fall of 1898 and was given a hearty recep- tion by the citizens of Stuart, being pre- sented with a sword. Congressman Hull secured the passage of o bill permitting him to enter the United States Naval academy at Anpapolis, but Deignan concluded not to accept the opportunity, preferring to take bis chances as a warrant officer.
