Canton. Ohio, December at 1920
o'clock tonight Mrs. Mckinley is eX-
ceedingly low. She has just experience
ed one of the sinking spells during
which life seemed to be almost extinct.
There are moments when she does not
seem to breathe. If she rallies from
this spell she will probably survive the
night. but Just now it seems doubtful
that she will rally. Her pulse is weak
and uncertain, more so than at any
other time and her breathing is diff
cult. The physician when he last called
reported that she had weakened percep-
tibly. He has not despaired that she
will survive the night. but he cannot
feel confident of it. The latest advice
received from the President is that he
will come in by regular train, which
will reach here at 1926 d. nl A spe-
cial may possibly be run from Pitts
burg
Canton. Ohio, December 6.-There
was decided rally in che condition OF
Mrs. Mckinley shortly after the noon
hour. About 1 o'clock she took Sec
ond spoonful of beef peptonoids, and
showed greater strength than she has
for many hours. The rally reached the
extent of recognition of those surround
ing her bed. She knew each of them
and by a motion of her hand extended
greeting to them. Aside from the chill
dren and immediate family her cous-
ms, Mrs. Charles r. Miller and Bert
Miller were included in the recognition.
There are strong hopes that she will
survive the day and the night, and that
when the President arrives tomorrow
morning he will find her still alive.
There is no hope of full return to con-
sciousness but there is a possibility
that the President may again be rec
ognized. She has been able to take
nourishment without resort to heroic
treatment is one of the favorable indi-
cations that the final end may be de-
layed

The American Medical Association met

four days Delegates from all parts Of
the country will be present, and papers
viii be read on the progress of the medi-
cal science during the life Of the associa-
ton.
And what a wonderful progress will he
shown. Probably no science, or art, has
made such prodigious strides as the sci
ence of healing during the last half cen
fury. In certain branches pretty nearly
the whole system of practice has been rev.
olutionized in that time. BaeteriOlogy was
merely a scientists hobby fifty years ago,
to-day it is highly developed. Anaesthesia
by chloroform was something brand new
fifty years ago, and was only occasionally
used, by the most advanced practitioners;
to-day it is in common use to minimize
the sufferings Of the afflicted and make
lighter the doctors task Fifty years ago
aseptic surgery was unknown, to-day II is
practiced throughout civilization, with
most beneficial results. During the last
few years also the science of electricity
has been taken up by the doctors, and
developed to a remarkable degree as an
aid in medicine. The wonderful x-ray,
which reveals internal structures, is one
Of the most remarkable details of the
progress that has been made in electro
medical science. Its possibilities have not
yet been exhausted, and surprising things
are yet expected of it.
Fifty years ago guarantees were run by
rule-of-thumb, and sanitation was com
paratively in its infancy. AS a result,
virulent epidemics from time to time
swept the country. To-day it is a matter
Of doubt if an epidemic of any kind could
have an extended run in any large Amer
lean city. Quarantine and proper santa
ton have made US comparatively safe
from epidemic diseases; provided we live
up to the recognized health rules Indeed,
it has almost come to the point that cpl
demic disease may be regarded as an ac-
cident or a blunder 1t may be that the
doctors are still a long way off from
bringing other diseases into the same cate

the high road to that end. Barring old

FIOrida's Orange Industry.

There are increasing prospects that
within a short time the orange groves will
be once more pouring their golden wealth
into Floridas lap. The newspapers of the
state are every day publishing items and
incidents Illustrating the revival of the
groves and the bright outlook. Those
grove owners who, after the great freeze,
cut down their trees and devoted the land
to other purposes, or abandoned the
groves to weeds and underground, are
now looking back with regret upon their
short-sighted actions. Other growers, who
had faith in the state and the groves, are
smiling in pleasant anticipation of har-
vests to come presently. as are also those
who had the business acumen to purchase
frost-bitten groves when they were to be
had at low prices.
The young trees, throughout the whole
belt, are reported to be thrifty and strong.
and most of them are covered with bios
SONS and young fruit They will not be
at their best for year or two yet, now
ever, but at that time, with good luck,
they will be producing as abundantly al
were the trees which were killed. Indeed,
it is believed that they will do even better
than their predecessors. More care has
been taken with them; the needs of the
orange tree are better understood: the
planting has been done in a more scien-
tihc manner. In short, the destruction of
the groves by the cold gave the growers
an opportunity to make Improvements all
along the line, avoiding errors of former
years. and advancing good ideas previous
ly employed. The Daytonian newspaper,
published in Volusia county, is much
pleased with the outlook Speaking of
certain plantation in It's neighborhood the
Daytonian says; ITO one unacquainted
with the situation it would hardly be sus-
pected that there had been freeze. The
trees are in splendid condition and have
fair crop of oranges on them" Similar
reports are printed in all of the county pa
pers. We congratulate Florida upon the
outlook for the restoration of her great
industry, and compliment her people upon
their pluck and faith.

DIN MiIIinerv stnre.

The commercial traveller, says the Chi
cago Record, tells this story of NIilligan's
first trip to the state of Kansas:
'Milligan had heard all about Kansas
and prohibition. He doesn't drink. but,
like every other man, he wondered if he
would be able to get drink, provided. of
course, that he wanted one-Which he
didn't. as I've said.
We'll, he was riding on the train and
they'd been in Kansas about a half-hour.
when the train reached Coulter junction.
1t had to stop there to change engines.
ana Mllligan got out and walked up and
down the platform, sizing up the town. It
was the first prohibition town he'd ever
seen.
"A fellow with a suit of overalls was
standing on the platform. Milligan went
it.?
Right you are this fellow says.
Prohibition Kansas
YES this fellow says.
Couldn't get a drink here, 1 SUPPOSE
DO you want a drnk?'
mo, but l just wondered If I could get
one in case 1 did want it,
'"Say, come here The fellow led Mill
gan up to the end of the platform where
they could see along the main street of the
town.
He says to Malligan: Do you see that
two-story building about two blocks down
there-the white one with the fancy cor
nish?'
Yes says Milligan, I see it,"
And right across from it, this fellow
says, is a low kind of a buildin' with a
window in the side of it
We'll says this fellow, that low
building is millinery store. That's the
only place in town where you can't get a
drink "

The Recrudescence of watson.

1t is observed that after a season of COM
parative inactivity in politics. Mr.. Watson
Of Georgia is once more hustling. 1t is
written by James r. Randall in a Wash
ington letter to the Catholic Mirror, that
Mr. Watson is flirting with the American
Protective Association, If he has not in
deed been initiated full-hedged member
of that order, and that he win endeavor
to go into the next campaign with the
consolidated support of the A. p. A. ele-
ment It appears that Mr.. Watson has
caused to be scattered abroad a signed ar
ticle in which it is stated that the Pope
and the Catholic church are opposed to
independence for Cuba, because Cuban in
dependence would mean diminished re-
oeipts for the Catholic church in the is
land The Pope. it is further said, is al
lied to monarchy as against the republican
system of government. The supposition is
that Mr.. Watson. playing for the populist
nomination for the presidency three years
and half hence. touched upon the A. p
A. question in order to attract the atten-
ton of the anti-Catholic element in the
northwest. Ignatius Donnelly has a
pretty strong pull" with the northwest
erners, it seems. and Mr.. Watson is try
ing to offset his hold by being even more
an anti-Catholic than Donnelly is.
Mr.. Watson's whole attention, by the
way is not being devoted to the A. p A
He has little time and a little muscle to
be expended upon Marion Butler. and he
takes pleasure in getting in a lick upon
him now and then. He has never forgiv-
en-. and never will forgive Butler for knit
ing him in the last campaign. Further
more, he does not propose that Butler shall
have an opportunity to repeat the per-
Torrance. His efforts, therefore, are de
voted to getting Butler out of the chair
manship of the national committee He is
pointing out that the middle-of- the-road
faction must control in the next campaign
OF the party will go to the bow-wows, and
this faction can never, never again accept
the leadership of the bewhiskered young
man from North Carolina. At this time
the indications point to a hot fight in the
populist party, to begin soon and last a
long time.
