MRS. M'KINLEY ILL.
Arrival of the Presidential Train at
Pittsfieid, iIass.

Pittsdeld. Mass, June 26.-The Presiden-
tial train bearing the Mckinley party ar
rived in this city at sos this evening. The
President shook hands with about 100 peo-
pie, who were at the depot. The coming of
the party had not been announced, and
there was no demonstration. AS the train
pulled out the President bowed, and there
were cheers, mingled with Kisses from a
crowd of men who said they did not agree
with the Presidents Eastern policy. 1t
was announced that the reason the Presi-
dent left Adams today was at the request
of Mrs. Mckinley, who is quite Ill with a
cold,
Before his departure from Adams the
President laid the cornerstone of Berk-
shire No. Mill this morning after
he had returned from a short carriage
drive. The ceremony was very informal,
and was not known to the townspeople,
only about twenty persons besides the
Presidential party being present.
On previous visits to Mr.. Plunkett' s
home Mr.. Mckinley had dedicated the No
and No. Berkshire Cotton Manufactur-
ing Company of which his host was
treasurer and manager.
The President made visit to North Ad-
ans this afternoon and was enthusiast
cally greeted by its residents.

Before parting the members of the con-

the work of DR.. Curry as administrator
OF the Peabody and Slater funds, and in
the same manner expressed their appre
citation of the courteous and generous hos

should Use His Power.

(From The 81. Paul PiOnecT PTess.)
For obvious reasons the President has been very
reluctant to ,all for any more volunteers for so
short a term. After providing the necessary
troops for garrison duty in the West indies and
at home. he finds it difficult to fill ~ requisi-
ton Of General Otis for even Su,GoJ regulars. But
since Congress has left him other alternative,
he should not hesitate to call iur the whole nrar
Der OF volunteers authorized by Law, as to pro-
vide an army Large enough for the speedy sup
preston of every vcstigc OF rebellion in the Phil
ppines. and to establish the authority OF our
Government with order and peace and law
throughout the whole archipelago. This vigorous
policy would sage many precious lives.

New York. June 26-An interesting fea-
ture CT todays proceedings in the case OF
the Colonial DANES OF America against
the National Society of Colonial Danes
OF the State of New York, was the testi-
mony of Mrs. Seymour Hall, the recording
secretary of the New York State Society.
She was called by the counsel for the de-
fendant organizations, to testify as to the
use Of the word dame in ancient and
modern literature.
Have you consulted any authorities as
to the meaning of the word dames?'' asked
counsel for defendants. Il have was the
reply.

William and Mary University in Virginia,
the records of the New England Histori-
cal Society, and those of the Virginia His
torical Society, and the Encyclopedia
Britannica.
Mrs. Hall then read historical extracts,
biographies. and tombstone inscriptions
showing that the term dame" was used
as far back as 1915.
Mrs. Hall testified that the word dame
was of Latin derivation. Why" said

of the National Society of Colonial Danes
of America. and testified at length to the
early history of that organization. She
caused considerable merriment, through
cut her examination, by her determination
to put certain testimony in evidence, de-
spite the best efforts OF her counsel. the
counsel for the plaintiffs, and Justice Book

But the last. unkindest cut of all is to
come Mr. Pifcailly can endure prose
comments, but when people take to writ

war hero feels when he reads the news

epistle rhyming "PifcafHy'' with knock

name thinks it is time to protest.
But it is difficult to see what can be done
about it. The name of Pifcafilly has been
published, and cannot be unpublished by
any power on earth. The Sun" is not
likely to give up its pet habit of discov-
ering and immortalizing citizens with
names. There seems to be nothing to do
but to sympathize with the sufferer. AL
though it may be rather distingue to have
name that is not like that of anyone else
on earth it is probable that there are
times when Mr. Pisistratus Pifcaflly
wishes most earnestly that he were only

How 1t Happened.

Last week the HERALD briefly men
toned the fact that a woman had been
killed at Swanville by the accidental
stroke of an ak in the hands of her
husband. The Todd County Argus
gives the details as follows:
The news reached here on Tuesday
morning of sad accident whichoc.
Cured in the town of East Hartford,
about nine miles directly north oil
Pillsbury. Mrs. A. Hesselgrave is
the victim. We give the details oil
the accident as it was given to us by
a neighbor who lives inthe same com.
munity.
| Mr.. Hesslegrave had been out in the
woods all day short distance from
| the house and along towards evening
his wife came out to where he was al
work to accompany him home. They
| both started for home just at dusk,
about five O'Clock, and on their way
home he occasionally would strike at
an overhanglng limb with his ak.
! They came to large limb that
stretched across the road few feet
over their heads and he made vi.
cious swing at it with the ak to see il
he could not serve it with a blow. In
some unaccoutable manner the ak
glanced off the limb and struck his
wife in the neck just back off the ear
and cut a deep cash which caused her
instant death. The Mortified husband
at once ran for assistance but she had
passed beyond all human help into
another world. Tenderly they picked
up the silent ody that was but few
minutes before SO full of life and hap.
piness, and carried her into the house
of JAG. Schrupp who brought the news
to Pillsbury that evening, and Tues.
day morning r. w. PARROT, the
county coroner was notified. He went
out to the scene of the accident in thu.
afternoon.

of Melrose on Monday, December
4, Stephen A. Kells, aged 55 years.
Deceased was q native of Waukesha,
Wis, where he lived when the war
broke out, when he enlisted in the
Thirty-first Wisconsin and served for
three years, and until the close OF the
war. Soon after his return he re-
moved to Minnesota, settling at Red
Wing, where he remained but a short
time, coming to Sank Centre in 1857.
He settled on the farm in the extreme
southwest corner of Melrose, at the
junction of the four towns of Melrose,
Grove, Getty and Sank Centre, which
he improved and made attractive,
building up a typical farm home. He
was twice married-frst to Miss Mar
tina Riggle of Waukesha, and two
children, a son at Waukesha, and a
daughter, Mrs. Sam'l Walls of Mel
rose, survive him. His second wife
was Miss Belle, daughter of the late
James Duncan, to whom he was mar
ried in 1874, three years after the de-
mise of his first wife, and to them were
born eight children, all of whom are
living at home. She died in February,
1897.
Stephen A. Kells was not only an
honest man, but in every way an hon.
orable one-a high type of the citizen,
neighbor, friend, parent and husband.
He was Industrious, frugal, enterpris-
ing and intelligent, and was a success
full farmer. Always pleasant and
affable he had troops of friends in
every walk in life, and it was ever
pleasure to meet him. His death is
deeply mourned by large circle OF
friends, and his memory will ever be
cherished, an incentive to and an in
fluence for the good and the true in
life. He has three brothers resident
of this city, Lucas, Lyman M, and
Robert, and a sister, Mrs. Palmer B.
Huston of Getty. To them, and the
children, the sympathy OF all is ex-
tended in their bereavement.
He was buried from his home on
Wednesday, the interment being in
Oakland cemetery, DR.. J. F. Hamilton
officiating.

BOLTON.

bOLTON.
Information was received here on
Monday that the venerable William
Bolton had died at the home OF his
brother, at Wichita, Kas., on Satur-
day last. Mr.. Bolton had MANY
friends in this city, where he resided
for years, and at one time was justice
OF the peace in this city. Twenty five
years ago he removed to Willard from
Kansas, and settled on a farm. An
accident while threshing made him a
permanent cripple, and he latter en-
gagged in light work in the city. He
was of genial temperament, we'll
informed, a good conversation alist,
ana won and held friends. Old age
disqualified him from active work, al
though as late as last summer he did
effective work in the insurance bust
ness here. He removed to Kansas,
where he made his home, as above
stated, with relatives.
In his younger days he was an &C.
tive and heroic man-beinga stranger
TO fear. For years he rode the pony
express across the plains, as perilous
an occupation as could be devised,
and it is said that he was one of three
OF the only survivors at the time of his
death. He was formerly sheriff in
Kansas, during the wild frontier days
when an officer of the law required
not less of tact than courage. He was
~ years of age. Mrs. Elizabeth In
gram OF this city is his daugter.
