make a call in time to advise by l p. m.
The physician 8 statement to the family
was that there was little doubt that the
attack would ultimately result in death,
but there was little indication yet as to
when the end might come. The attack
was very light and in a younger person
would not necessarily be regarded as
dangerous, but to one of her advanced
years there is every probability that the
attack would become aggravated. The
end, he said, might be in a short time
or it might be in a week or eve longer
interval.
Mother Mckinley for some time has
not been in real good health, having
suffered from a mild form of grippe
with which she has been afflicted, but
she was able to be up and about the
house. About the hour the family
usually arises Mother Mckinley walked
to Miss Helen's room and awakened
her. The latter addressed her mother
and receiving no reply surmised some
thing was wrong, Immediately dressed
and summoned the household and q
physician.
Except in the failure Of the vocal or
gans Mrs. Mckinley shows but little
evidence of the paralysis. She is in
full possession of her mental faculties
recognizing all of the family and Others
who see her and taking an interest in
whatever transpires. She was able t.
walk to her daughters room before he1
illness was known and since seems able
to handle herself almost as we'll q.

Congressman johnson of North Da-
kota states very positively in a recent
interview criticising Secretary Cages
proposed plan of currency reform that it
will not be enacted into legislation by
this congress, or if it is one-half of the
republican congressman will never be
returned. MIR. johnson evidently knows
how the people feel about it and like
many othe-: republicans proposes to
govern himself accordingly. The Pho
neer Press, however, does not sec why
congressman should fear the people. 1t
thinks they ought to put the money
system on an absolute gold basis at once,
The Press seems to forget for the NOM
ent that the people of this country once
in a while take a hand in politics and
that politicians who want toremain long
in office have to consider their wishes.

WILD RUMORS FROM CHINA.

U~ncOnfirmed Story of q Massacre Of Ger.
mans at kaio-Chau.
BERLIN, Dec. 3.-All sorts of wild
rumors are current here and at Kiel,
probably based, in the main, upon the
speech of Emperor William at the
opening of the reichstag as to the rela.
tons between Germany and China.
But most of these are discredited. A
sensation was caused by a report that
the Chinese had massacred 2UO German
sailors belonging to the German cr- ser
Division in Kiao-Chau bay, but there
has been no confirmation of this.

Attempt to Hold Up Passengers Proves
q Failure.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 5.--A special to The
Post Dispatch from Keokuk, Ia, says:
One lonely robber, with his face hidden
by a mask and armed with a revolver.
attempted to rob the passengers of the
northbound St. Louis, Keokuk and
Northwestern train. Some of the men
in the smoking car, where he started
in, stood their ground and attempted to
disarm the bandit, who fired three
shots, none of which took effect. He
lost his mask in the scuffle and finally
escaped to the platform, from which he
sprang to the ground while the train
was going at full speed. He secured
no booty.

THE QUEEN ANNE'S ROAD.
Industries Arising Along the Route of the
New Line Connecting Baltimore
With Delaware.

Denton, Md, Aug. 26.-Business mon of
Baltimore are beginning to make their
best efforts to secure the trade Of the PEN
insula.
For years the trade of tho Peninsula has
gone to Philadelphia and Wilmington.
Denton is in the swim and now houses are
constantly going up The population has
so largely increased that tho Beard of
Education will be obliged to erect new
school house.
Creamerics, roller mills, factories, ice
plants and various enterprises have either
been begun or seriously thought of. Ono
small village, Hickman on the Maryland
and Delaware Division Line, which was
comparatively unknown until opened up
by the new road, has no less than ten now
buildings in the course of construction
which were not thought of until the rail
road was constructed. What Is true OF
Hickman Is true of all other places along
tho route to some extent. Removed from
the civilizing and vitalizing iuhence of
railroad, these places were in the throes of
lethargy and literally Caad. The people
were slow In their habits and behind the
time generally. Tho daily sight of tho
rushing engine has quickened their pace,
and In fact making them hustlers. They
do moro work in given time and will
grow better crops than ever before, They
are realizing railroad advantages and will
double the produce they usually grow
Tho farmers have hardly had time to
show what they will do in tho way Of
freights. Before the construction of the
road they were comparatively isolated as
regards such facilities, and had made but
little effort to cultivate such crops as they
would ship by rail. They are now getting
ready to avail themselves of their present
opportunities. and evidences are on every
hand that even next year the freighting is
short In bulk this year for reasons as
signed above and the peach crop has prac.
tically been II failure. Yet in tho face Of
this President Bosley gives the assuring
fact that the business Of the new road has
exceeded expectation and already "com.
Portable balance" rests Oh the right side Of
the ledger.

Unless You Are Prepared to live
without Labor Until Spring.
Seattle, Aug. 81. The latest news
from the north still confirms all pre-
vious statements regarding the In
going Yukoners, their success and fail
ures in getting over the trails. AT
Skaguay there is found a glutted con-
dition, no progress being made in 60
Ing over the summit by what is known
as the White Pass, it having proved a
complete failure this year, according
to all reports. There are now between
1000 and 5000 persons camped along
the trail between Salt Water and up
five or six miles. They will remain
there eating up their supplies, until
spring, or until they can make up their
minds either to go over to Dyea or
return to Junea or the states. Many
have already sold out and abandoned
the trip altogether, some gladly taking
10 per cent of the original cost of their
outfits and leaving that part Of the
country.
Those who started via Dyea and the
Chilkoot pass are getting along very
well, since the Indians are charging at
present only IS cents per pound for
packing from salt water to the lakes
Under present conditions 1t is expected
that all who are now on that trail will
safely reach Klondike before winter
sets in
Advices from the interior under date
of July "a are repetition of what has
been said before as to the richness Of
the diggngs that have been worked up
to that date, also that some less val
liable finds have been made near Stew
art river. High prices and wages re-
main as heretofore reported.
According to recent news from the
Yukon water has been scarce for hy-
draulic purposes. but better arrange
ments will be provided for these oper-
atoms next year.
Flour Is still selling in the interior
for $50 Per sack of so pounds. and like
prices are asked for other staple arti-
cles.
Miners who were employed In mines
near Juneau, and who went to the
Yukon river, have had their places all
filed by recent arrivals, so that now
there Is no special demand for labor
there, and it will be worse than folly
for man to 20 to Juneau expecting to
get work during the winter months.
He should be provided with money
enough to take care of himself until
spring.

Edmunds was Fraker's Office boy in

Edmunds asserts his innocence.

Washington. Aug. 27.-The matter Of
the possible replacement OF many of
the postoffices and star routes now In
operation by the establishment of rural
free delivery service has been taken
up by the postoffice department. and in
u few days an experiment in this line
will be made. Its results are expected
to show the extent to which the offices
and routes can be done away with in
favor of the rural delivery routes. The
town Of Grand Isle. in Vermont, has
been selected for the test. Recent ex
periments indicated that rural free de-
livery would involve an additional an
nual expenditure Of from 5000o. 900 to
GO.C0O,OOO By substituting 1t for post
offices and star routes wherever pos
sble the expense, 1t is expected. might
be cut down by $l5,O0O.oOO or $40. 100000
