a.-President Mckinley's condition
Monday morning was so favorable
that it dispelled almost the last shade

ton held by the doctors, from eight
to nine o'clock and officially an

inquiries with cheerful and very
positive assurance of confidence. The

said he, "and there are no symptoms
TO cause alarm"
No Cause for Apprehension.
Iies was asked if the earlier bulle-
tin referring to the presidents ''some-

apprehension.

fully conscious at all times when he
is awake. and his mind is clear"
Conversation Prohibited.
When asked if the president con-

talk and did so as far as the physi-
clans permitted, although they were
reluctant to permit kim TO sap any
of his energy in this way.

down Delaware avenue, while DIR.
Park was talking to the newspaper
men, was overjoyed with the word
which the physicians had brought
from the sick room.

Innocent Party Supposed to be Henry
Nelson Held at st. Cloud.

No further trace of Henry Nelson,
shipping clerk of the Standard Brew
ing Co., who disappeared with 1891 OF
the company's funds, has been OBJ
tanned. A curious mistake was made
by the deputy sheriff at st. Cloud yes
-terday morning, as the following dis
patch from there shows:
'John S. Kiesel, northwestern
representative of the Cincinnati Chem
ical company, with headquarters at
Minneapolis, was taken from Great
Northern train here this morning by
a deputy sheriff. 1t was case of mis-
taken identity, as the officer thought
he answered the description of a man
named Nelson of Mankato, wanted by
the authorities. Mr.. Kiesel was &C
companied by his wife, and Nelson is
supposed to be travelling with a
woman. Local druggists identified
him and he was promptly released.
