MOTHER MCKINLEY RALLIES


Canton, Ohio, Dec. 1t.--After a
night of the greatest anxiety, culmin-
ating in sinking spell at O'Clock
this morning. the children and others
watching at the bedside of Mother Me-
Kinley are hidden by the attending
physician to hope that the patient will
survive the day and possibly longer.
This hope grows out of a rally from
the sinking spell and the ability TO take
little nourishment. After his exam
ination at $3.50 DIR. Phillips said Mrs.
Mckinley was in much the same con-
dition as yesterday morning. and he
felt that there We're strong reasons
for hoping that she would survive
the day, He says she is somewhat
weaker than heretofore, but wearing
away by weakness is by very slow de-
grees.
The fact that the patient has been
able to take SO little nourishment has
given rise to the fear that she must
die OF starvation II from no other
cause within a short time. Concerning
this phase Of the case. the doctor says
she shows no evidences of such re-
suit. Her muscles continue well round
ed and she shows little trace Of
emaciatiOn. She could, he thinks, sur,

foundation on which to rebuild which
occasions the steady sinking away

WILL PROBABLY WITHDRAW FROM UTAH.


1t Is reported that number of ac-
cident assurance companies intend
withdrawing from Utah as a field Of
operations. claiming that their bust
ness here has been improbable. The
claim is made that the number of IA
talllies constantly occurring in mines
and other places where men are en-
ployed in semi hazardous occupations
is so great that the risks cannot be
undertaken except at loss.
A special agent OF one OF the DIG
companies doing business here was in
salt Lake recently and he stated TINT
his company had definitely decided TO
close up all its business in Utah at a
very early date The same action. no
