My friends, am not here to make

the President OF the United States, son
of Ohio, "A state which has furnished to
the nation many distinguished presi-
town tonight, William Mckinley, il the
greatest and most distinguished of them
all. prolonged cheering.)
MRS. MCKINLEY APPEARS.
Before the Governor retired from the
platform a loud shout went up for Mrs.
Mckinley" and a moment later the
President appeared upon the veranda
with the first lady of the land on his arm.
The distinguished couple was greeted
with tumultuous applause. Mrs. McKin-
ley waving a small American flag, which
she held in her right hand, 10 the cheer
ing crowd.
Aiter the cheering had died away the
band executed another of their choicest
numbers and the crowd dispersed. The
serenade WAS one of the most successful
demonstrations ever made in the county
and the President afterwards expressed
himself as being highly delighted at the
compliment bestowed upon him by the
Lincoln Club. The President also ex-
pressed his qualification upon learning
erset county organization, and was very
complimentary i'm his remarks upon the
ability and skill displayed by the band.

Mrs. McKinley's Love For Children.

The Mistress of the White House had
been in town less than an hour before she
called little four-year-old child, who
was passing on the street, into the house,
where she delighted the little ones heart
by talking to her for a half hour, and only
dismissed her after she had promised to
return the next day. Hundreds of child
rem were treated in the same way by Mrs.
Mckinley during the week. The young
sters, or better, the mothers of the young
steis, evidently knew of Mrs. McKinley's
love for children and flowers, 80 il hap
pened that nearly every child that called
carried bouquet to present to her, and
in return many of them received tiny
flag with miniature photograph of the
President attached. Hundreds of moth
ers carried their babies to call upon Mrs.
Mckinley, so that in the future the pres
ent little ones will be able to tell their
great grand children how they were re-
ceived by the beautiful Mistress OF the
White House "when Mckinley was Pres
ident."

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, COM
munity of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, honest,
curative medicine that has helped to
make the Shakers the healthy, long-liv-
ell people that they are. The Shakers
never have indigestion. This is partly
owing to their simple mode of life, partly
owing to the wonderful properties of
the Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges-
ton is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice. Shak-
or Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands
so that af.er awhile they don't need help.
As evidence of the honesty Of Shaker
Digestive Cordial, the formula is printed
on every bottle. Sold by druggists, price
% cents to sl.O0 per bottle.

Rack From the Grave

We can not come, but we can often stay
our progress thither. Disease, like
everything else, must have beginning.
All chronic maladies tend to shorten life,
and render it species of martyrdom
while they last. Malaria, kidney COM
plaint, chronic indigestion, rheumatism
all have small beginnings, and may be
stayed at the outset with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This excellent tonic
and Alternative is adapted alike to the pre-
vention of disorders of the system and to
their removal. and its early use can not
be too strongly advocated. To renew ap-
petite and insure tranquil rest, there is
no surer and pleasanter means than the
Bitters. The effects of overwork and ex-
haustion, mental or physical, are coun-
teracted by it, and the busy merchant,
the tired clerk or operative, and the
brain weary student, author or newspa-
per man. derive from it present relief and
future energy.

white haired old gentleman registered
at the Hotel Vannear, Tuesday morning,
and moment afterwards anxiously in
quired where the President was stopping.
He was directed to Mr.. Abner McKinley's
residence, where the President accorded
him reception. The sad expression on
the venerable gentleman's face at
tracted attention at the hotel and on the
streets, but the nature OF his mission was
not known until seven o'clock Friday
evening, after the arrival of Attorney
General McKenns, when it was announc-
ell that the President had lifted a load
from the old mans shoulders and brought
happiness to his heart by granting an un-
conditional pardon TO his son, Francis A.

England, Col. Alfred ID. Cushing, of
Washington, and others.
Secretary of War Alger and Adjutant
General Ruggles arrived on a special
train at 4 o'clock Friday morning. After
breakfasting with the President, the Sec
retary held a long private interview with
| him. General Ruggles came 20 Somerset
in order that he might personally take
leave of the Commander in Chief of the
armies upon the eve of his retirement,
which took place Saturday, the general
having reached his age limit, 6i years.
The Secretary and General Ruggles re-
turned to Washington the same evening,
where the former was prostrated by the
heat Sunday morning, and has since
been confined 10 his home.
Attorney General McKenna arrived on
the regular train at 500 O'Clock Friday

dignifed official, who received them with
marked cOriiality.

of old soldiers called and paid their re-
spects to him. Great disappointment was
expressed when it was learned that

over Friday night, when the President

Mrs. MeKinleY,s Improved Health.

One of the pleasing features of the pres
ent trip of President and Ms. Mckinley,
of which their stay in Somerset forms Il
part. is the remarkable restoration to
health of his invalid wife. She surprises
and delights her relatives and neighbors
by anyone. This is the more remarkable
because, since 1874, she has not been able
to stand alone or walk across the room
without a cane. For twenty-three years
it was thought she would never again
regain her health enough to walk alone.

The President and the People.

When President Mckinley arrived here
last Tuesday morning he announced that
he came 10 Somerset to enjoy quiet rest
at the home of his brother. He said
that he was weary of public functions
and entertainments gotten up in his honor
at the various places he has visited since
he left Washington seven weeks ago, and
felt that in this quiet country town he
could enjoy absolute rest and freedom
from public functions, as well as week 5
freedom from the opportunities OF Office
seekers.
The office seeker did not follow the
President here and he enjoyed happy
relief in that respect at least; but from
the hour he arrived until he left he had
few hours of freedom from the multitude
Of people who were anxious to shake
his hand and bid him welcome.
The weather was oppressively warm
throughout the Presidents visit and after
breakfast, which was served at 8 O'Clock
eIch morning, he took a chair on the
piazza to enjoy a smoke. Usually a
crowd of people were waiting for him To
make his appearance and as soon as he
did so they filed up the steps leading from
the street 10 the piazza and shook hands
with him. The President had cordial
welcome for al who called, and only alb
sented himself from the piazza at inter
walls when he wanted To hold conference
with one of his secretaries or TO enjoy the
society of the Indies of the h JIsehOid.
1t was not difficult to pick out from the
crowds on the streets the persons who
had seen the President. The happiness de-
rived from their visit to the Chief Execu-
tive was manifest in their cOuntenances.
An incident showing the President $
thoughtfulness occurred Saturday morn
ing. when he observed a blind man
standing at the gate. Leaving the society
of the Attorney-General he walked down
the steps and took the ffiicted man by the
hand and spoke few cheering words.
A caller who was overoyed at the re-
ception lie received was colored man
who had walked from point somewhere
near Jones Mills.
Incidents of the character mentioned
above occurred every few minutes during
the day throughout the week the Presi-
dent was in town, and the remark: "He
is a second Abraham Lincoln, and just as
c3mmon," 1" was on the lips Of thousands
who were delighted at the cordiality with
which they had been received, and who
had been relieved of their native embar-
rassIn ent by a kind word from the Presi-
dent.
The intense heat and dusty roads, 10
say nothing of his pre- occupation with a
constant stream of visitors. prevented the
President from taking more than two or
three short drives into the country.
The misery OF years has been cured an

What Do the Children Drink

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain-O?
1t is delicious and nourishiRg and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-O
you give the children the more health
you distribute through their systems.
Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when
properly prepared tastes like the choice
grades of coffee but costs about ias much.
All grocers sell il. l5c and 25c.
