(Great applause. This IS the irresis-

strength, security, permanency, and
glory. We have entered upon new
and blessed era; we have crossed the
dominion of force into the kingdom of
peace and law and mutual good will.
Tremendous cheering Faith in each
other, faith in common country, faith
in the future and a common destiny,
has made US one one-forever one. We
have learned that
"Peace and greatness best become;
Calm power doth glide.
With far more imperious stateliness,
Than all the swords of violence can do,
And easier gains those ends she tends
unto"
(Great applause and ciies of "Good,
good" This is my message to grim
survivors of that mighty war, of both
sides. This is the spirit that l would
have carried into practical every day
administration and fill the hearts OF the
American people. Cheers I thank
you for this cordial greeting l thank
your orators for their generous words
of assurance in your behalf. Let us
remember now, and in all the future,
that we are Americans, and that what
is good for Ohio is good for Virginia.

because it is new. But in medicine, as
in nothing else, the people demand and

wavered but have remained steadily at
the top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt, the intrinsic virtues Of this med

gone but Hoods Sarsaparilla rests
upon the solid foundation of absolute
merit and its power to cure, and it sales
continue to be the largest In the world.

been entirely cleared for them, and
the others gathering in surrounding

of Cantonians lined the streets and
occupied the lawns adjacent to the
Mckinley home and added their cheers
to the mighty chorus.
In the midst of all this thrilling scene
Major Mckinley worked his way from
the house to the little stand ON the
front of the lawn. His appearance was
the signal for another outbreak OF ap

Tellcr's Disclaimer.

Senator Teller replies to the charge
that he IL interested in silver mining
by saying that the mine of which he is
part owner is not being operated, and
he doesn't know what it is worth. The
logic Of such defense recalls that of
the boy who insisted that he should
not be punished for fishing on Sunday

killed himelf. His name was Joseph
kohuke, and he resided on his farm
near Triangular lake. For some weeks
past he has shown disposition to be
quarrelsome with his family. He made
several threats against his wife and
for her safety it was necessary to have
him arrested as he had for long time
been jealous Of her, entirely without
cause, On being released he returned
hCne and after being on the farm
day or two he renewed his attack on his
wife who was comuelled to leave her
home yesterday morning and seek pro-
lection on a neighborins farm.
On learning later in the day he was
to be arrested he took u shot gun from
his house and went to the barn. mean
while his frenzy becoming so great that
he made up his mind rather than engage
in a fight with the authorities he would
set fire to his residence and outbuild

an appearance 81 he fired the handsome
home and two of his barns which We're
all consumed by the flames. Knowing
what a desperate character he was the
neighbors did not lenture near the
place for fear of being killed. During
the burning of the buildings shot was
heard, and after almost complete sill
ence about the place. which was early
this morning, a body of men determined
to go to the farm. On arriving there
the buildings and contents were in ru-
ins. kohuke was found on the ground
lying between two beams IN one of the
barns, burned to a crisp. His shot gun
was by his side together, with box Of
cartridges. He only fired one shot, the
load entering his head and the body
fell 80 close to the burning building as
to furnish himself fuel for the flames.
He was "a years of age and leaves
