The name of George B. Lockwood of Marion, is being mentioned in connection with the nomination for Governor by the Republicans. In the absence of a candidate from the Sixth district, we see no good reason why the Republicans of this district should not support Mr. Lockwood. He is a young man of rare ability and wide experience in business and public affairs. He is a €lear'thinker, a forcible speaker and a man of courage and conviction. So far as we are concerned, we would rather see him the candidate than anyone so far mentioned.

Hog Cholera Everywhere. Hog cholera is proving a more serious problem to deal with this fall than it has before in a number of years. There is no concealing the fact that there is some of it in nearly every county in the corn belt states. It has been particularly bad in some sections of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri. In some neighborhoods the disease has been kept well under rontrol and in others it has spread from herd to herd until every one in a wide scope has been visited. Dr. Reynolds, of the Minnesota Experiment Station, calls attention to the fact that serum has in many cases shown marked curative power, provided it is administered within four days after infection occurs. Later than this it cannot be depended upon to cure or protect the infected hog. While it is undoubtedly true that when the disease is cholera proper the serum rightly administered brings about a temporary immunity and it may. as Dr. Reynolds says, even effect a cum, provided the disease has not been under way more than fjur day*. On the other hand, what be

MAKES A RULING

Appelate Court Defines a Telephone Company's Privileges.

A telephone company can ni remove a telephone from a private dwelling merely because it believes the subscriber is using the phone for business purposes and refusing io pay a business rate, according to the decision of the Appellate Court in affirming the case of Mooreland Rural Telephone Company vs Joseph A. Mouch, appealed from Henry county.

Joseph A. Mouch owned an elevator in the town of Mooreland and had a telephone in both his home and his elevator, he being both a stockholder and a subscriber of the telephone company.

The company raised the rate on the business telephone from the flat rate of $1 a month to $1.25 a month, leaving tho residence phone at the old rate. Mouch refused to pay the increased rale and the company removed the ofliee phone. Then the company demanded $1.25 a month for the residence phone and threatened to take it. out if that amount was not paid.

Mouch brought suit for an injunc-

was used in the same manner as the' sunc]ay

residence phone of all the subscribers. The lower court granted an injunction against the company, prohibiting it from removing the phone and the company appealed.

The Appellate Court holds that a telephone company is a common carrier and can not discriminate, and that its answer, setting up that Mouch transacted business over his residence telephone, did not show that he used it differently from the manner in which other subscribers Used their residence phones, and fhot the lower court properly prevented the telephone company from removing it.

"Naughty Marietta," with Mile. Emma Trentini as the bright particular star, will begin an engagement of three nights and a matinee on Thursday, December 7th, at English's opera house, Indianapolis. Mile. Trentini's personal triumph is unmistakable, as she has created extraordinary interest among theater goers and music lovers of every city in which she has sung. The score of "Naughty Marietta," composed by Victor Herbfert, is a most difficult test for the voice of this remarkable artist, but she easily and brilliantly meets its requirements and is assisted by Henry Taylor, a tenor of ability Miss Marian Lee in the contralto role, and Harry Turpin, a well known basso.

Farm land is not selling quite so freely as last year, but there is no reduction in price. Many say, and with truth, that there are many farms on which fair returns cannot be made on the price either by farming or renting, but it is not altogether what can be made on a farm that makes it a good investment it is the fact that money so invested is absolutely safe.

Predicts $12 Hogs Soon. Cholera has appeared in Orange township, near St. Paul, and the farmers are losing many hogs. All the farmers whose hogs have escaped the disease are hurrying them to market. One farmer predicts $12 hogs before spring. He also says corn will reach $1.00 a bushel.—Rushville Republican.

A DUTY AND A GRACE

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body and be ye thankful."—Cel.

3: IS.

E ye thankful!" said ail inspired, apostle, "writing to a company of early Christians,

stormy times of possible or actual persecution were

exhorted to be of good cheer and to "count up their mercies." Paul's words are not only hortatory, but also mandatory. It is the duty of the Christian, amid all vicissitudes, to be thankful. A believer is never justified in forgetting God's benefits to him. He is expected to figure out every now and then the sum of the divine favors that have been shown to him, or what might be called the statistics of salvation. It is true that divine mercies have been innumerable, and cannot be tabulated with anything like completeness yet the Christian believer is exhorted to dwell upon these mercies in thought and to render vivid to his mind, by frequent reflection, so many of the visitations of divine favor as he can discern providentially unfolded in his past life.

There is, then, a duty of thanksgiving. Praise is the expected thing, gratitude is demanded. God is disappointed, and even angered, when men receive his gifts without return- I ing thanks. The Lord is gracious, but that is no reason why the cliildren of men should be ungraciously thankless. Thanksgiving is a part, of the code of duty of a Christian, it is an integral portion of the decalogue of moral action. It is not a kind of extra service, or superfluous activity added on to the body of duty otherwise complete, but is of the warp and woof of the Christian's obligation. "Be thankful" "was not the idle, chance remark of a sentimental apostle, but is the New Testament interpretation of the Old Testament burden of blessing.

But if thankfulness is a duty, it is none the less on that account a grace. If It is not optional, it may certainly be ornamental. The fact that a' thing or a trait is demanded by the moral law does not render the sacrifice of that, thing or the exhibition of that trait any the less noble or lovely. The grace of gratitude in particular is a peculiarly lovely virtue. There is even, we may say, an aesthetic quality to thankfulness. "Praise is comely for the upright," said the Psalmist, who was an authority on the beauty of holiness. Even the world appreciates the aesthetic value of gratitude—as well as Its earning power, acquisitive of future favors, as a practical asset of life—and po^s in all ages have sung of the charm of a grateful spirit, the nobility of a responsive nature. Even

—John T. Wye.

the birds look up when they drinlr, as if in mute recognition of the heavenly source of the bits of blessing which fall to them, and certainly man, much more richly endowed an& blessed, should do at least as much, and express his "Thank you!" both by the testimony of the lips and the generous actions of the life.

Thanksgiving day is a proper and convenient occasion for considering both the duty and the grace of gratitude to the great Giver of all good. But Thanksgiving day is not simply for the abstract discussion of general ideas present in thought or stirring the emotions. This day does—or should—have a direct governing relation to the ministries of the hand and the unfolding of the wallet. When it is celebrated in the spirit c£ the scriptural exhortation to thankfulness, it becomes a time of rejoicing in the truest, fullest sense, because it joins praise to God with practical ministry to the poor and unfortunate. Thanksgiving should issue In thanksgiving. Praise should become a practice. Gratitude must become a temper and tendency of the life. So will God be glorified and gratified, and men, by their cordial and constant recognition of his goodness, be lifted in the scale of being and be the better fitted to receive from heaven more favors still.—Rev. C. A. S. Dwight.

For These Things We Give Thanks. Thanksgiving day we should all b& able to give thanks to our parents for these things:

For a clean name, unsullied by questionable transactions, honorable in. human relations.

For an untainted birth, with such health as purity transmits, and for the brooding tenderness that guarded and cherished us before birth and made careful preparation for our coming.

For wholesome food, sufficient clothing, and comfortable shelter until our coming of age, or during the lifetime: of our parents.

For education, according to the best standards of which they knew suited to our individual needs and possibilities, and preparing us to earn our own livings.

For such knowledge of our bodiesand minds, and such reverence for them as makes intemperance Impossible.

Forget Not His Benefits. "Why not rejoice more? Count up your golden mercies count up your opportunities to do good count up your "exceeding great and precious promises count up your joys of heirship to an incorruptible inheritance. and then march on the road heavenward. "Forget not all his benefits." "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name," is the declaration of an appreciative heart.—Theodore L. CuyIer, IXDi

Washington's Proclamation. The first Thanksgiving day proclamation ever issued by a president was signed by George Washington in 1789. The original is said1 to be in the possession of Rev. J. W. Wellman, who inherited it from his grandfather, William Ripley of Cornish, N. H. This proclamation was issued by request of both houses of congress through' their joint committee.
