e Tradition In Alaska,


One rea11h for the tardy recognition
OF Alaska as an importa mt part of the
United States is the knowledge of the
total ignorance of the people, who ,:aEs;
considered little above the anime Is wH0:
inhabit the land. The absence of any
form of literature whatever is thought
10 be quite sufficient to place them up
on q very low scale in the human bal
ance. But have there not been other
countries equally deficient in that re-
epect, and are there not examples OF
countries having literature of their
own who were just as penlightened,
so far as any record can be found, as
these nations of the north? In some
parts of Scotland, ireland, Norway,
Sweden, and other countries, there are
numbers of people who do not cad,
who are entirely deficient of education,
and yetethey have very we'll deve' oped
ideas and peculiar historic Information
which, If carefully traced, will, many
times, be found as correct as much so
called verified history. So with the
Observation-Disclosures has been hand
ed down from father to son in different
parts OF the country, which, when COM
pared, will be found consistent in a suf-
ficient degree to aid In pursuing a
course of investigation that may result
some day sin proving the origin of the
people.
They certainly have peculiar
leRe nds, characteristic of the various
localities and the several occupations
of the natives, that make it appear
that at some time in the past master
miuds have endeavored to teach GER
tain morals, if not religious principles.
We find the wicked punished and the
virtious rewarded even as now, only
that the primitive ideas of good and
evil are not altogether consistent with
Christian modes of morality. And

IN HER FINAL SLEEP.
Mother Mckinley Passed Away I'm
conscious Sunday Morning.


Funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. Nancy Allison Mckinley were held
IN the First Methodist Episcopal Church
of Canton at l O'Clock Tuesday afternoon.
The burial was in the West Lawn ceme-
terry, Just west of the city. Tuesday
night President Mckinley and wife and
the officials from Washington who at
tended the funeral left for Washington.
Mrs. Mckinley passed from life at Il
few minutes past 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing, with all of her children and other
immediate friends at her bedside. She
did not suffer any in her last hours, but
gradually passed from the deep palsied
sleep in which she had rested almost CON
stantly for ten days into the sleep of
death. She passed away without having
regained consciousness since she rallied
on Tuesday to recognize her son. Hopes
which the family had that they might be
granted manifestation of loving recogni-
ton We're in vain.
At daylight Sunday morning, at the sug-
gestion of some of the older members of
the congregation that an old-time custom
now almost obsolete be observed to an
nounce the death. the bell in the tower Of
the church slowly tolied off the years of
her age.
Nancy Allison Mckinley was born near
Lisbon, O.. in 1909. Her father, Abner
Allison, was of English descent, but a ma
tive of Pennsylvania. Her mother, Ann
Campbell. was of German-Scotch descent.
A short time before the birth of Nancy
Allison her parents removed from Penn
sylvana to Columbiana County, Ohio,
and on the farm they acquired there her
girlhood was spent. In 1927 she married
William Mckinley. an iron manufacture
err, and the pair lived successfully at
Fairfield, Niles. Poland and Canton. Nine
children were born to them; five of them
are dead. The living are, besides the
President, Helen Minerva Mckinley Of
Canton c.: Sara Elizabeth, wife of y. j..
Duncan of Cleveland, o., and Abner Nc
Kinley of New York City. Mrs. Mckm-
lev became q widow in November, 1S92
her husband being So years old at his
death.
Much of Mrs McKinley's motherly am
bition has centered in her seventh son,
William. whose political career she has
followed at all times with much concern.
1t was not against her wishes that he en-
tered the army at the breaking out of the
rebellion, but when, at the close of the
struggle, a commission in the regular
army was offered him, her advice was in
favor of return to civil life. In the
study of law and later in public office,
William Mckinley was glad to draw
counsel and encouragement from his
mother. and she, for her part, had I'M
feigned pride in his success. His noml-
nation and election to the governorshlp OF
Ohio confirmed her faith in him. She is
said to have been confident beforehand
flint the st. Louis convention and the
election of 1896 would result as they did,
while her browning ambition seems 10
have been to see her son mauguraeeo
President.
