companied them, reached Washington at

great benefit to the president and he re-
sumes his official duties thoroughly re-

Of historic interest. Thirty-five years ago
Mr.. Mckinley as assistant adjutant on
the staff of General Crook, marched
through this same valley, participating In
the heavy fighting which occurred during
sherman's famous raid. The president
went over this same ground and from the
rear platform of the special train which
carried him, recalled with great distinct
ness the places which saw so much blood
shed. Though the citizens OF various
towns through which they passed had but
little notice OF the presidents coming, the
denots and sides OF the tracks were
crowded with people TO see ana cheer the
president. Flags were waved, flowers
showered upon him. and II there Is any
