that tbe diary of Josephus Woodruff

God for the blessings of the preoediog

with time a tenderer significance It
enriches domestic life It summons
under the family roof the absent chil?
dren to glad reunion with those they
love.
Seldom has this nation bad greater
cause for profound thanksgiving. No
grsat pestilence has invaded our shores.
Liberal employment waits upon labor.
Abundant crops have rewarded the
efforts of the busbsodman. Increased
comforts have come to the borne. The
national fioanoea have boon sustained
and made firmer. In all branches of
industry and trade there has been an
uoequated degree of prosperity, while
there has been a steady gain io the
moral aod educational growth of our
national oharaoter Charohes and
schools hate flourished. American
patriotism has been exalted. Those
engaged in maintaining the honor of
the flag with euuh sigoal sucoess havo
been in a large degree spared from
disaster aod disease. An honorable
peace has been ratified with a foreign
nation with whiob we were at war, and
wo arc now on friendly relations with
every power of earth.
The trust whiob we havo assumed
for tho benefit of the people of Cuba
has be-n faithfully advanced. There
is marked progress towards the restora
tioo of healthy industrial conditions,
and nnder wiso ssntitary regulations
the island has enjoyed unusual exemp?
tion from the aoourgo of fever. The
hurricane which swept over our oew
possesaion of Puerto Rico destroyed
the homes aod property of tho inhabi?
tants, oalled forth the instant sympathy
of the people of the Uoited States,
who were awift to respond with gener?
ous aid to the sufferers While the
insurrection still continues io the island
of Luzon, business u resuming its
aotivity aod confidence in the good
pnrpoaes of tho Uoited States is being
rapidly established throughout the ar
ohipelago
For these reasons and countless oth?
ers, I. William McKinley, president of
the Uoited States, do hereby name
Thursday,, the 3Ckb day of November
next, as a day of general than ksgiving
and prayer, to be observed as suoh by
all our people oo this continent aod io
oar oevrly acquired islands, as well as
by those who may be at eea or sojourn
iog io foreign lands ; and I advise that
on this day religious exercises shall be
conduoted in the ohurches or meeting
places of all deoominatioos, in order
that io the social features of the day its
real aigoifioance may not be lost sight
of, bot fervent prayers may be offered
to the Most High for a cootinuanoe of
the divine guidaooe without whiob
man's efforts are vain aod for divine
consolation to tboso whose kindred aod
friends have sacrificed their lives for
their oountry
I reoommood also that on this day
ao far as may be found practical, labor
aball ceaae from its accustomed toil
aod charity abound toward tbo sick, the
oeedy aod the poor.
Io witness whereof I have set my
hand aod oaoaod the seal of the United
States to be affixed.

SHEPHERDS FROZEN
IN MONTANA STORM.
Most Fatal October Blizzard
Ever Kqowq ia Stave.
Great Fails, Mont , Oct 25 ?As a
result of the recent blizzard which
swept through Teton county, (u the
northern part of this State, nine men
are known to be dead, and of these,
five bodies have been recovered.
With one exception, all were sheep
herders, and ail wore found lying in
such positions as to indicate that they
had stayed with their flocks to the
last, dying in their attempts to save
tbe property of their employers.
William Graham, working tor tbe
Cascade Land Company, was found
in a coulle near Ileuly Butte It is
evident that be tried hard through
the night to get his sheep into camp,
but had not succeeded Consciou?
that bis death was impending, he re?
turned to bis tent about midnight
and there wrote and left a note say*
ing he was nearly exhausted, but
was about to return to the sheep in
the suow, his lantern about 20 feet
diatant Of his two dogs, one re?
mained to guard the body, while the
other followed tbe sheep
Norman Bruce worked for Will
Floweree. lie remained with bis
sheep until he managed to drive them
into a sheltered spot, where they
would be safe. Blinded by the
storm, he mistook the coulle where
bis cabin was built und wandered up
another. Realizing his mistake too
late, be turned back and fell lees than
20u yards from home and safty.
The searching party found his dog
stretched across tbe derfd body
Matt Geogorich was found with
his arms crossed upon his breast.
His dog bad followed the sheep into
camp and returned with the rescue
party too late
H. Herald, working for C R
Scoffin, was lying in the deep snow,
his beard eater, off be the eheep,
which had also eaten his clothes and
part of bis boots
It is probable that tbe dead list is
hardly begun Flocks of sheep with
out herders have been reported from
various points in the storm district,
and later these will be traced and the
dead herders found
Now the snow covers up e very?
thing on tbe prairie, and the cculles.
many of them more than 10C1 feet
deep and with steep sides, are filled
