citizen. WILLIAM 11. NKOLKT - Publisher. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 24, 1904. UN ptr ymt Is Adraacc, Otter* ist >l-50 Thanksgiving. The first Rational Thanksgiving was proclaimed by George Washington on the third day of October, 1789, assign ing Thursday, the 26th day of Novem ber, as tbe date. He did this by tbe request of a joint committee of both Houses of Congress "to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grate ful heart* the many fcitrnnl favors of Almighty God. especially by affording tbein an opportunity peaceably to estab lish a form of government for their B\fety and happiness." Washington bore out admirably tbe pious tone of its sentiments. In his first sentence be ■ lid: "It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Al mighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor. ' The custom gradually fell into disuse until 1883, when it was revived by President Lincoln, and since then the last Thursday in November has been one of" our National holidays It is very strange that there have been per sons who tried to show that Lincoln a skeptic, and that a book was written in tbe attempt to prove it. But in their testimony they have carefully refrained from quoting his official mes sages. In his first inaugural he an nounced his "firm reliance on Him who has never forsaken this favored land.' and in his last official address of im portance there were in the four or five hundred words more than a dozen men tions and reference to God and the Bible, including this quotation: ' The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." From Washington to Roosevelt every President has proclaimed belief in God. Tlie Legislature. With a majority of 204 in the Legis lature which convenes Jan. 3d, next, the Republicans can, if they wish, re deem every pledge made in the past by party bosses, for political purposes only. There should be a law requiring per sonal registration, changes should be made in the road laws and "Blue law, " and some important amendments will be offered to the Brooks and libel laws. As to U. S. Senator. Mr. Knox will not, probably, have any opposition. The pay of State Senators and Legis lators is $1,750 for the session, which in cludes SIOO each for mileage and sta tionery and SSO for stamps. This legislature will organize under different auspices from those of former years and no man or set of men should be allowed to dictate legislation. It shonld be a model session, free from jobbery of all kinds. As to appointments it is to be pre ■umed that the two members from this comity can secure something and we commend to their kindly consideration one or more of the men of this town who have been put in distress, both physically and financially, by the late epidemic. . POLITICAL. President Roosevelt is being urged by some Congressmen of the ni/rthwestern section of the country to convene Con gress in March next for the purpose of revising the Tariff scheduler. In Allegheny connty the Republicans lost over 15,000 votes by incorrect mark ings, and tbe Democrats about 5,000. Tom Watson's explanation of the overwhelming defeat of the Democratic party at the late election is that tbe people never before had an opportunity to express themselves directly on the •abject of Grover Cleveland's second administration, and as Mr. Cleveland, Perry Belmont. Qlney and others close identified with the Wall Street bond deal were the main supporters of Judge Parker, they eagerly embraced tbe op portunity to express their disapproval of the whole bnnch at the polls. This was one of the reasons. But of course there were others. Dawson's majority in West Virginia over Cornwall was 8,451. Roosevelt had 82,216. The official vote of this Congressional district was not known till Saturday last Huff had 21,547 and Heineman, 8,824 Judge Parker has deserted Esopus, and has opened law offices in New York, adjoining those of William E. Sheehan, tbe lieutenant of David B. Hill in the contest for the nomination at St. Louis Two hours after tbe name of Alton B. Parker had been painted on tbe door he had received two commissions from Justice O'Gorman. of the Supreme Court. They have to do with the ac quisition of wharfage rights, and are worth about ten thousand dollars to bim. So the former leader of the Democracy is apparently to be taken care of. President Roosevelt has announced his intention of providing for Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, and Senator Cockicll of Missouri, both of whom lose their seats in the Senate by the late election. In New York Gov. Odell is, after Depew's seat, and in Ohio, Senator Foraker intends fighting the new Dick- Her rick & Cox combine. That Puzzle. Mies Hazel Frazier of 128 Ziegler Ave., Butler, was the first person to send us a solution of the 1-25 pnzzle, published in last week's CITITEN. Her solution was on our desk at 8 u. m., Friday, though answers were mail ed us. same day, by Robert Ivell of Marion twp, and S. U. Bowman of * Bellevne. All the answers are correct. The three answers all have the number 18 in the middle square, though the puzzle can be solved with the 8 in tbe middle. An easy rule by which to do it is to snrround yonr 5-square with 2 or 3 extra iquares—then write tbe figures 1. 2, 8, 4, 5 in a diagonal so that tbe 3 falls in the upper right band square, the 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 in tbe second row of diago- the 7, 8 and 9 falling within the 5-sqnare, tbe 11, 12, 18, 14, 15 In the third row (all falling within the 5-eqnare) etc. This leaves some nnm bers outside the 5-sqaare, and they are put in in tbe order iu which they appear tout on tbe opposite sides of tbe tquare, and yon have this 11 24 7 20 3 ' 4 12 25 8 10 17 5 18 21 9 10 18 1 14 22 23 6 19 2 15 The same principle is applied to cnbes -mmA* up of smaller cubes, which makes an interesting toy. Since the above was put in type we have received some ' 'answers, '' that add op OS across and up-and-down, Lut not dfrfonally. WAR NOTES. Im reased activity along the Shakhe nver indicates the imminence of another great batt!e. The present real or rela tive strength of the two armies is un known to outsiders, but it is known thst both armies have been heavily re inforced, and that the Russians are be coming restless, as the advantage of de lay there is now with the Japs. In trenched armies, also, lose heavily by disease, and the Japs know better how to take care of themselves than do the Russians. The sanitary arrangements of the Japs are the most efficient on record, and their losses from sickness are practically nothing. On Tuesday the Japs were reported to have captured an important Pass, but were repulsed in an attempt to take Lone Tn*e hill. The Czar received an important mes sage from General Stoessel, who is so stubbornly holding the fort at Port Arthur, last Wednesdty, which must have been of exceptional importance, judging from circumstances by which its delivery was Com munications with the beleaguered cita del have been maintained throughout the siege with considerable regularity by means of wireless telegraphy to and from the station maintained by the Rus sian Consul, and when for any reason that has not been available, through the instrumentality of Chinese fugitives and blockade runners, but in this case the Russian general was unwilling to entrust his dispatches to methods or messengers rendering them liable to be intercepted. For their conveyance he employed the destroyer Rastoropny, which took desperate cbancs of reach ing its destination. It left Port Arthur at midnight dur ing a blinding snowstorm, and thread ing its way, more by good luck than good management, through the mines with which the entrance to the harbor is strewn, it arrived at Chefoo, China, some time the following forenoon. Its captain at once put his message on the wire and upon learning that two Japa nese destroyeis. had been seen in the offing gave orders for the immediate destruction of nis vessel in order to prevent its falling into the hands of the enemy. This was in pursuance of his instructions and in execution of plans which had been previously made, aDd the question naturally arises, what could have been the tenor of a message so important and so imperatively press ing that it was thought worth while to saceifice a good boat for the sake of for warding it without delay and with all possible security to the Russian capital. According to the story given out at St. Petersburg General Stoessel's dis patch contained nothing but good news. It is said to have informed the Czar that the situation at Port Arthur is highly satisfactory, that there is on hand an abundance of provisions and of all necessary stores, and that the com mander will be able to hold out until the arrival of the Baltic squadron, even though that arrival shonld be delayed until some time in March. If that was all Stoessel had to communicate the ex traordinary means which he adopted to make the communication cannot easily be understood, but of course there was something more which is being held back, and even some of the St. Peters burg reports delare that General Stoes sel conditioned bis ability to bold out upon his being supplied with additional stores and ammnnition. It is believed at Tokio that the object of his message was to ask for instruc tions whether he should resist to che last extremity, or whether, when the situation in his judgment becam9 abso lutely hopeless, he should capitulate on the best terms obtainable, and that is a conjecture which has at least reason ableness to support it. It is certain that the conditions in Port Arthur must by this time be deplorable, and as the be siegers are redoubling their exertiors and are making a progress which though slow is sure, it is not conceivable that tbe inevitable end can be much longer postponed. In tbe meantime the beginning of a revolution is in progress in Russia. "At a meeting of delegates from all over the Empire, in St. Petersburg, Monday, the following declaration was adopted: "In order to secure the proper de velopment of the life of the State and the people, it is imperatively necessary that there be regular participation of national representatives, sitting as an especially elected body, to makes laws, regnlate the revenue and expenditure and control the legality of the actions of tbe administration." A resolution was also adopted re questing the Government to pardon all political prisoners and exiles. (k'tojjenttrlmis' Meeting.

Prugh then addressed the asso ciation, giving a very interesting a<: count of his early days and of the changes in this country from then until the present. Rev. Prugh was born in Maryland in 1822, and spent most of his early days near Dayton, Ohio, as boy on farm, school teacher, minister, ttc., un til coming to Butler about 18 years ago. Parts of his address were quite humor ous and were well received by the mem bers. On motion Mr. Samuel 8. Bell* the Vice President, was requested to ad dress the association at its next meet ing. On motion adjourned to meet in one month, Saturday, Dec. 17, at 2 p.m in the same place. The meeting was a very pleasant one and much enjoyed.

The School lloiisc^ (Reminiscence of the old school house • hat stood below Maharg. Major An derson and Eugene Fererro were teachers) I love to remember when I was a bare foot boy I arose each morning my heart over flowing with joy; I was a stranger to sorrow and sin, I cared not if my old bat had no rim. Bat even the joys of a boy will come to an end — I knew the district school I should hive to .attend. I was as afraid of the teacher as anyone could be. But more afraid of the big girls iug at me. These girls weie a terror to me when a boy, But as 1 grew older they were my chief joy. I remember well one of those girle, With her boamie brown eyes and long silken curls If I had studied my books as well as I did her sweet face I might have risen in lhis world to a much higher place. Those girls led me captive at their own sweet will — With all their faults I love them still. They point out to me the beauty ot Mars bung in space. It is not so beautiful to me as was this fair girl'f face. They say up in Heaven great changes in our looks are made. But it is only the man—surely cot the maid. I have friends in Heaven whom I hope to see, In them I wish no changes to be I have lived many years, I have had both pleasure and pain; It grievts me now 1 can never be a b<\ again Time turn backward if only for one da >'- And make me au innocent boy again engaged at my play.
