SECotucttt anu OdOlOet MEMBERS are
Deeply Affected by the News.
Washington, Nov. 22.-All the flags
in Washington are half masted out of
respect to the memory of vice presi-
dent Hobart. The announcement Of the
vice presidents death, while not linex-
pected, came as 81 distinct shock and
cast deep gloom oyer the city, where
he was loved and hoilored. The news
was first received at the white house
ten minutes before O'clock in pri-
vate message from Paterson. The
flag over the executive mansion was
Immediately hauled down to half mast
and the doors of the mansion were
closed to the public. The president
was deeply affected by the telegram
announcing his colleagues death and
at once sent a dispatch conveying the
sympathy and consolation of Mrs.
Mckinley and himself to Mrs. Hobart.
The secretary of state, upon whom
the succession of the vice presidency
now falls heard the news upon his ar
rival at the state department and he
Immediately repaired to the White
house. Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana,
and Senator Foster, of Washington,
had Joined the president and were
with him when Secretary Hay arrived.
The secretary remained with the
president about ten minutes. He was
visibly affected when he left the white
house. He said no arrangements had
yet been made, but that the president
and all members OF his cabinet would
attend the funeral. President McKin-
ley was deeply moved, and when SEN
ator Fairbanks had left he joined Mrs.
Mckinley in his private apartments.
His close and intimate relations with
his colleague made him feel the vice
presidents death as a great personal
bereavement. Mrs. Mckinley was
much affected. She gave way COM
pletely to her grief and sobbed con-
vulsively. Mrs. Mckinley Las but few
intimates here and among her most
cherished friends were the vice presi-
dent and Mrs. Hobart.
The members of the cabinet were
made acquainted with the sad news as
soon as the president himself was in
formed, by means OF the telephone at
the white house. Secretary Hay
FASTENED over to the white house and
had private conference with the
president and then returned to the
state department to give orders for
the execution of the official program
SO far as the government is concerned.
First Mr.. Hay sent a private message
to Mrs. Hobart, expressing his sincere
coincidence and then gave attention to
the preparation of proclamation an
nouncing the death of the vice presi-
dent to the people Of the United
States. 1t was also necessary to con
vey the information to the nations of
the world. This was the day for the
regular cabinet meeting and mem
bers gathered at the white house at
IL o'clock, but the death of the vice
president overshadowed all else and
public business was not mentioned.
All members of the cabinet. especially
Attorney General Griggs, showed the
emotion which they felt.

A report of these proceedings was
made to the state department by the
diplomatic Representatives of the Unit

OFFICIAL VOTE OF OHIO.
Nash's Plurality 40,O23--Joncs' Vote
Annl.uod

fAhsNtl ACNs
Columbus, o.. Nov. 22.-The can
vass of the official vote in Ohio was
completed this afternoon. 1t shows
that Judge Nash's plurality is 49,os3.
The total vote cast was 90s,159, di-
vided as follows among the six candi-
dates for governor: George X. Nash,
republican, 417,199; John II. Mclean,
democrat, 36S.l76; Seth II. Ellis, union
reform, 1899; George NJ. Hammel, pro-
hibitionist, $685.; Robert Bandlow, So
cialist labor, 2,439; Samual M. Jones,
non-partisan, 106,721.
The plurality of John A. Caldwell,
republican, for lieutenant governor
over A. w. Patrick, democrat, who
was supported by the anti-saloon
league. is 1920.
An analysis OF the figures shows
that about 10000 electors who voted
for Jones for governor failed to vote
for any other candidates for state Of
ficers. The non-partisans drew their
strength about equally from the re-
publican and democratic parties, ac-
cording to the comparison of the vote
on governor and judge of the supreme
court

A Dancing Procession.

dancing procession annually takes
place at Echternach. In Belgium,
France and Germany excursions are
organized to the little Luxembourg
town, whose church contains the re-
mains of ST. Willibrod The pilgrims
to Echternach execute in certain
rhythm what is called the dance Of
the "leaping saints" 1t takys the
form of advancing three steps, maxi
ing a step backward, advancing three
more steps, and so on. Ut. is in this
quaint way that the procession in
which ten thousand persons take part
each year, starts for the bridge on
the Lure, the place of assembly, to
the church.

Clear Minority for Sound Money in

Clear Majority for Sound Money in
the Senate.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Incoming re-
publican senator's are giving consid.
cradle attention to the reorganization
of the senate committees from re.
publican standpoint.
The next senate will be composed as
follows:
Popaists, silver republicans, ETC..
Total NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. SO
Republican majority ,:.......:.....:....:.. lie
This, of course, allows for the four
vacancies, one each in Pennsylvania.
Delaware, Utah and California. Ii
ex-senator Allen succeeds Senator
Hayward, in the event of the latter
death, the republican majority will be
reduced to fourteen.
Hitherto the committees have been
almost equally divided, the majority
party being allowed one additional
member. In view of the large repub.
lican representation in the next SEN
ate, however, the leaders are of the
opinion that in committees of eleven
members the republicans should have
at least seven members, and the oppo-
sition four: while in membership OF
thirteen the proportion should be
eight to five. If this policy is car.
ried out, as now seems likely, the
changes in the personnel of the com
mittees will be considerable.
Ike finance committee is, of course,
one of the most important in the list
although the development of the Phil.
ippine question will bring the foreign
relations committee into the first
rank. The finance committee, as con.
stituted last year, contained a major.
ity of silver men. This will be re.
versed. The gold standard sup.
porters now on the committee are
Aldrich, Anderson, Burrows, Platt Of
New York and Platt of Connecticut
Wolcott of Colorado, the remaining
republican, is bimetallist, while
Jones, of Nevada, is a silver republic.

the democrats will be forced to con.
tent themselves with four members

Chilton-leaving the two vacancies
+ caused by the retirement of White
and Turpie to be filled by gold stand
ard republicans. The committee would
then stand nine republicans and four
democrats on general questions, but
seven gold to six silver on financial
issue. No prediction can yet be made
as to the two gold standard republic
ans who will be named to fill the va
cancies caused by the outgoing OF two
democrats.
There is absolutely no doubt Of the
ability of the republicans to pass a
gold standard bill. OF the fifty-one re-
publicans not more than three or four
will fail to align themselves with their
party, and two of these defections
will be offset by the votes of Caffery
of Louisiana and Lindsay of Ken
lucky, gold democrats. The gold
standard bill will certainly have ma
jority of ten when it comes to vote.

Marshnlltown Bank Dividend.

when. just before the adjourning Of
court, Judge Caswell announced am
other 20 per cent. dividend on depos-

through the action of Henry Bash and

vanced money after the decided stand
made by the depositors at Fridays
meeting. Perrin and Bash have placed
in the receivers hands $4,000 cash.
Bash owned $4,000 of stock and he
puts up $4,000 more. Perrin held
only $1,000 and puts that amount up,
with $1,000 more than the amount for
which he is legally liable. Two other
stockholders who held small amounts
of stock have paid their full assess

looks probable that the full amount

An exchange contains the following
sensible advice:
Few persons are aware that look
ing at the sun is very dangerous
practice. The rays of the sun when
concentrated produce great heat, as
when using a burning glass. If one
looks directly ct the sun the crystal
inc lens of the eye becomes small but
powerful burning glass and there is a
great danger OF the center of vision
being burned and the eye becom ire
parably injured if not ruined. This
matter should be taught to all chill
lrcn by both parents and teachers.
