CONGRESS- TO PAY BILLS.
Appropriations Will be Made to De-
fray Expenses of Presidents Ill
ness and Death.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The govern
ment will pay every dollar of expense
occasioned by the Presidents illness
and death. This will include the fees
of the physicians, the cost of special
train that will bring the body to
Washington and afterHt.rd take it te.
Canton; the special train that brought
the physicians to Buffalo; the special
train that hurried President Roosevelt
thither; all other items of expenditure
incurred.
This will have to be done by spec
ial appropriation in the sundry civil
appropriation bill. Congress took such
action in the case of Garfield, but the
act was attended by some rather dis
tossing features. Some of the eco
nomical members found the bills for
medical attention and the bill sub
mitted by the undertaken too high and
scale them down nearly one-half.
The doctors took what was voted
them, but the undertaken declared
that his bill was an honest one, so
that if Congress would not pay it all
he would stand it all, so he did.
Congress will also in other ways
give substantial expression to the
affectionate regard in which the
people hold William Mckinley.
A sum equal to years salary, $50, :
600, will be voted his widow, and the
franking privilege or free use of mails
will be extended to her. Mrs. Gar
field and Mrs. Grant are the only two
people not in official life who now en-
joy this distinction. Ultimately a
monument will be set up over the
President S grave at Canton.

President Roosevelt Escorts Body
to the White House.
SERVICES HELD TUESDAY.
Policy of President Roosevelt Out
lined Briefly and McKinley's
Policy will be Unchanged-Cab
net Will Remain as it is-A Ma
tion's Calamity.

The body of President Mckinley
was taken from the City Hall in
Buffalo Monday morning and es-
corted to the railroad station, where
it was placed on board the funeral
train, which started for Washington
at s. "a a. m. 1t was accompanied by
Mrs. Mckinley and the members of
the family, President Roosevelt,
members of the Cabinet and personal
friends.
The honor and love which the in
habitants of this country bore to the
late President were touchingly shown
by the crowds which, with barred
heads, lined almost the entire route
from Buffalo to Washington. Silence
and reverence marked the demeanor
of all the spectators.
The body of the dead President ar
rived in Washington at 8.38 O'Clock
at night, and was escorted to the
White House, where it remained over
night.
At a. m. Tuesday, the body

ATTEMPT ON LIFE
OF A PREACHER.
Bullet From Revolver Passed
Through Breast of His Shirt.


An attack upon the life of Rev. Leon
d. Burdick, pastor of the Marlboro
Baptist Church, was made Saturday
night, and only by a, hairs breadth
was the life of the minister saved.
Just before eight O'Clock Saturday
night, Mr.. Burdick left home to go to
Marlboro, to attend services in the
Baptist Church there. An ardent
bicyclist, Mr.. Burdick went alone,
riding his wheel.
While on the Marlboro pike, riding
just this side of the toll gate, he heard
the report of revolver. There was
flash of powder from the pistol, and
a bullet plowed through the shirt
front of the preacher, entering upon
one side of the bosom and making it's
exit from the opposite side.
Alarmed, the minister hurried on
catching glimpses of man standing
in the shadow of clump of trees.
Arriving at Marlboro, Mr. Buridck
reported the matter, and searching
party went out, but could find no trace
of the assailant.
No one can give any idea why the
attack should be made upon the rev.
erend gentleman. He has resided in
Shiloh nearly two years, and is very
popular, having been quite successful
with his work. He is about thirty
five years old, and has an interesting
family. 1t is not known that he has
an enemy in the world.
The attack was deliberate, and the
would-be assassin must have taken de-
liberate aim, and the bullet went very
near the mark as it flew toward the
speeding bicyclist. An inch back,
and the wound would have been fatal.
There is considerable excitement in
Shiloh, and every attempt is being
made to find out the assa liant.

FORTITUDE OF THE WIFE.
The Weakened Invalid Shows Mar
vellous Courage.

VeIlOuS Courage.
The President regained conscious
ness about Z. 40 o. clock in the evening
and at once asked to see Mrs. McKin-
ley.
The physicians fell back into the
shadows of the room as the wife of
the dying President came through the
doorway. The face of the President
lighted up with faint smile as she
sat down beside him and clasped his
hand. Despite her physical weakness
Mrs. Mckinley bore up with superb
fortitude under her affliction. The
last conscious moments of the Presi-
dent were devoted to comforting her.
DR.. Rixey told Mrs. Mckinley of
the great change for the worse in the
President IS condition early in the
morning. During the night, when
the relapse occurred, Mrs. Mckinley
was sleeping and the physicians de-
cided not to awaken her, but in the
morning, when hope was almost
gone, they decided that she must be
told.
Mrs. Mckinley bore the shock
bravely and asked to see her husband
The physicians allowed her to go into
the room, and the President smiled as
their eyes met and she bent over him
and whispered a few words. At this
time she was allowed to remain but a
few moments, but all the physicians
expressed their admiration of her
bravery.
y Almost Immediately after the Presi-
dent had seen Mrs. Mckinley in the
evening he relapsed into unconscious
ness. Mrs. Mckinley was not in
formed of this.
Throughout the day Mrs Mckinley
was perfectly composed and remained
in the house close to the room of her
husband. DR.. Rixey said, "She is
very brave, and what more can we
ask?" Her bearing during the terri
ble suspense of the last day of her
husbands life, and especially during
and after the final meeting, won great
admiration and the most heal 6felt
sympathy for her is everywhere ex-
pressed.

PRESIDENTS LAST DAY.
Peacefully the Chief Executive Sank
Into Eternal Rest.

Buffalo, Sept. ia slight i'm
when the physicians announced that
the President had a fighting chance.
1t continued throughout the early
afternoon, but about 7 o'clock, after
day of alternate hopes and fears,
the physicians saw that the end was
only matter of time and announced
that the President was dying.
The Chief Executive became uncon-
scious at 6. 40 O'Clock in the evening,
but under the inufence of stimulants
revived and asked for Mrs, Mckinley,
who at once went to the bedside of
her dying husband. Shortly after
ward the President again became un-
conscious and remained in that condi-
tion until the end came peacefully.
At $50 it was announced that the
President was being kept alive by the
use of oxygen and that the case at
that time was more desperate. Fif-
teen minutes later DR.. Mynter, who
had just left the house, said that the
President was slowly dying. The ap-
proach of death was already evident,
as the body was getting cold.
The physicians added that the Pres
ident might last until two O'Clock in
she morning, although the end might
ome at any time. There was scarce
ly any pulse to be felt.
At $50 O'Clock Attorney General
Knox and Senator Chauncey M.
Depew arrived and were admitted to
the Milburn house. A few moments
later Secretary Cortelyou sent out a
message which said he could not
leave the house, as the President was
in his last moments.

Last Saturday morning these fellows
broke tinto the residence of Clarence
Corson while Mr.. and Mrs. Corson
were absent from the house.
Uriah B. Carton, a nearby resident,
informed Mr.. Corson on his return
home that he had seen these fellows
pass the formers place, going toward
Elmer.
On discovering that some one had
broken into his house Mr.. Corson tele-
graphed to the Elmer operator at the
station and the message was tele-
graphed to other stations.

a revolver after some difficulty, by
constable Enoch Garrison.

lowing articles: gold ring, several
pen knives, gold watch, silver watch,
gold bracelet, three gold watch chains,
silver butter knife, one half dozen

Policy of President Roosevelt.

Buffalo, Sept. 16.-President Roose-
velt has outlined in some detail the
policy he will follow during his in
cumbency of Office. 1t will be remem-
bered that only few moments before
he took the oath of Office he stated
definitely:
"It shall be my aim to continue alb
solutely unbroken the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley for the peace" (and
he emphasized the word), prosperity
and honor of the country
Yesterday the President gathered
together some personal friends in
Buffalo and those members of the
Cabinet who were here, and gave to
them such ideas as he had already es-
t2blished for the conduct of public
fairs and his own policy. In no
sense are they divergent from what
has been understood as Mr.. McKin-
ley's policy. This policy, as outlined
to his friends at yesterdays confer
ence, was as follows:
A more liberal and extensive reci-
procity in the purchase and sale of
commodities, so that the overproduc-
tion of his country can be satisfactor-
lily disposed of by fair and equitable
arrangements with foreign countries.
The abolition entirely of CONNER
cial war with other countries and the
adoption of reciprocity treaties
The abolition of such tariffs on for
eign goods as are no longer needed for
revenue, if such abolition can be had
without harm to this country's indus
tries and labor.
Direct commercial lines to be estab-
lished between the eastern coast of
the United States and the ports in
South America, and the Pacific Coast
ports aud Mexico, Central America
and South America
The encouraging of the merchant
marine and the building of ships
which shall carry the American flag
and be owned and controlled by
Americans and American capital.
The building and completion as
soon as is possible of the isthmian
canal, so as to give direct water COM
munication with the coasts O? Central
America, South America and Mexico.
The construction of cable, owned
by the government, connecting the
mainland of the United States with
foreign possessions, notably Hawaii
and the Philippines.
The use of oonciliatory methods of
arbitration in all disputes with for
eign nations so as to avoid armed
strife.
The protection of the savings of the
people in banks and in other forms of
investments by the preservation of the
commercial prosperity of the country

TAKE THE BRIGHT SIDE.

Man is a peculiar biped., He could
be transcendently happy with the Op-
portunities God has given him, were
he always to look on the bright side of
things. The golden rule is the grand
est guide of life, but it has been cast
to the winds, and another rule substi-
tuted in its place.
Instead of doing unto others as we
would have them do unto us, many
people seem to be working under
principle that is the direct antitheSis-
do others, or they will do you This
inclination is probably what inspired
the poet to write Mans inhumanity
to man makes countless thousands
mourn"
Man only considered Gods nOblest
work. clogs his happiness with care.
He crosses streams before coming to
the bridge. He pines for the impOssi-
BILE, sighs over what might have been,
and instead of enjoying to the full the
blessings of nature, destroys what hap
piness there is within his reach by
thoughts of what may be.
Given good health, an able body,
ability to make an honest living, an
abundance of money, and practically
everything that the heart desires, man
should be happy. But he is not. Be-
cause he borrows trouble from the fu-
ture and signs after the unattainable.
Deprive a man of all these blessings,
and then he might have some cause
for being unhappy, provided he looked
on the dark side of things. Even then
there is no excuse for giving away en-
tirely to gloomy forebodings. There
is still something to be thankful for.
to look forward to and be hopeful
about. Those who wish to do their
duty have little time to devote to vain
regrets. They should remember that
self-sacrif1ce on behalf of others is one
way to, help tighten cur own burdens
Of course it is dicouraging to realize
that our efforts are often misunder-
stood and unappreciated, but even that
is not a sufficient reason for becom-
ing despondent and worrying over
imaginary or real troubles. The best
way is to look on the bright side oi
life, avoid as much as possible the
shadows, and bask in bright sunlight
remembering that as long as we pos,
sess a spark of life there is something
to be thankful for.
