DESERTED BY RELATIVES.
Eleven Of McKinley's Kinsmen Who
Are Supporting Bryan.

President Mckinley appears to
have been deserted by his own kith
and kin. So far the returns indicate
that only "Brother Abner' remains
loyal to the political fortunes of the
republican imperator.
Mr.. Mckinley has relatives of
near and remote degree in many
parts of the country and these,
almost without exception, will vote
this year for Mr.. Bryan, although
most of them supported "Cousin
William in 1896.
Several weeks ago there appeared
list of McKinlev's relatives who
had repudiated their kinsman. An
additional list has been furnished by
VIM w. Mex inley, of Kosciuski
county, Indiana, who vouches for its
accuracy The list follows:
Preston H. Mckinley, of Harper
county, Kansas.
DR.. L D. Mckinley, of Topeka,
Kansas
William W. Mckinley, of Kosci-
uski county, Indiana.
B. H. Mckinley, Delaware county,
Indiana.
w. j. Mckinley, Delaware county,
Indiana.
John w. Mckinley, Delaware
county, Indiana
Samuel Mckinley, Delaware
county, Indiana.
Thos Mckinley, Delaware county
Indiana.
JAS Mckinley, Delaware county
Indiana.
Robert Mckinley, Delaware count,
Indiana.
Geo. Mckinley, Delaware county
Indiana.
These are all relatives of Presiden
Mckinley. William w. and B. H
are first cousins; W. j., and Samue
are second cousins; while the other
are third cousins of the Canton man

the rich and lucious fat land of
Weiser
"Mrs. Helen r. Davis returned
yesterday from a visit to the Riggs
farm, on Mann Greek near Weiser
The fruit crop is so heavy in that
region that the trees are breaking
down under the weight of it, and
there are tons upon tons of it rotting
on the ground. Prices are low, but
the yield is so large that good profit
will nsvscJh,e3s ,, reliize |
The demand for hogs to eat the
fruit is so great that prices are ad-
vancing On the Riggs farm alone
100 hogs are wanted to eat the fruit
on the ground,
The pork made from these hogs
will, like our lambs, doubtless com
mand the top price in the market.
Mrs. Davis left samples of the
fruit at this Office, as the residents
of Mann Greek wish the Times to
know something of what is raised
there. In the lot are two yellow
freestone peaches, one of which
measures eight inches one way ant
nine and one half inches another,
and the other measures respectivel |,
seven and one half and eight and
one quarter inches in two diameters.
Also large Idaho pears, Black Rus
sian and other winter apples, and
some peach plums. Apple and pears
are of diameter of over II inches.
1t seems a great pity that suct
fruit-the finest in the world-shoulC

) people would enjoy eating it as being
: one of the feasts of their lite.

Operations at Mineral.

Huntington Herald: H. G STRAIT
ton of Portland, manager of a num-
Der of mines at Mineral, was in town
this week on the way home from a
trip to his company's properties.
From him we learn that work on an
extensive scale will soon be COM
menced at Mineral, The company's
sawmill on Monroe creek was started
this week, and twelve or fifteen men
are now employed in building a
wagon road from the sawmill to the
mines. AS soon as the new smelter
plant, which was ordered from Den
yer recently, is put in place, a
large force of men will be employed
to get ont ore, and Mineral will
again become a lively mining camp.
There is not an idle man in Mineral
who wants work.

much swollen and panied him SO
badly that he could not walk with
