Death Of the Presidents Mother.

Mrs. Nancy Mckinley, mother of
President, died at her home in Canton
early Sunday morning with all her
children and immediate relatives at her
bedside. She did not suffer any in her
last hours, but gradually passed from
the deep sleep in which she had rested
almost constantly for the last ten days
into death.
AT the end Mrs. Mckinley seemed
to sleep so soundly that it was difficult
to tell whether she had yet breathed
her last. This condition continued for
a half hour. There was no struggle
She seemed to sleep her life away. The
president and all of her family were by
her side. There was no recognition,
however Her last consciousness was
hours before her death.

Locomotive OF The Future.

President Ingall Of the Big Four, in
speaking of the locomotives of the flu,
ture, says:
probably locomotives propelled by
electricity will come in the future. II
not, something else may. And we can.
not tell what the next years have in
store in the way Of improving our rail.
way facilities. Higher speed, possibly
cheaper trains; but it is necessary to
this country of ours that the RAILWAYS
should be encouraged so that they may
go on improving their systems, so that
branch lines can be built to every coun
ty seat in the country. Instead of stop.
ping at $4,000 miles of railway, we
should build at least 5000 miles year
in short and inexpensive lines as feed.
ers to the main systems, so that the
stage coach and the heavy wagons
should lie unknown. This country
will soon have 100000, 900 of people.
1t will require at least 100000 miles
OF railways to serve them properly-an
increase of 40 per cent. over the pres.
ent mileage. They cannot be built,
they cannot be improved and increased
with the present system of legislation
and with the present prejudice a.
galnst them. The development of the
demands that this must be
changed. 1t is through such students
as these, that the change must come
In the centuries that have gone. the
youth of the various, countries sought
tame and preferment in war and its
Accomplishments. We live in better
lays, and in a higher civilization, INT
he service of our railways offers a |
wider field for achievements and for
anne than anything of old. The road
o success in this line is not through
and suffering, but it is none
he less sure and requires e.
lually moral courage and intelligence.
a new ev"ngel must be preached in
reference to railways; they must be
placed upon higher order, and in.
stead of being pariahs in business they
must be the benefactors and friend of
ILL.,"
