Mrs. Mckinley Ill.

Mrs. Mckinley was taken quite i'll at
Monterey last Sunday, and a special of
two cars and a locomotive was made up
from the Presidents special, and at
1890 the President, Mrs Mckinley,
Miss Barber, the Presidents niece,
Secretary Cortelyou and wife, DIR.
Rixey and H. T. Scott and wife, left
Del Monte for San Francisco, leaving
the remainder of the Presidential party
at Del Monte.
When the train. consisting of the
baggage car and the Presidents spe-
cial coach, stopped at Valencia street,
Mrs. Mckinley was carried in steam
er chair by two colored porters from
the private car to closed carriage in
waiting. She was heavily yelled, and
the President and DR.. Rixey followed
close behind. Mrs. Mckinley was gent
ly placed in the carriage, and the Pres
ident and DR.. Rixey took seats in the
same vehicle. The President was ute
pale and looked serious. The rest of
the party followed in carriages.
Leaving the Valencia-street station,
Chief Of Police Sullivan aud Captain
Whitman rode ahead OF the President
in buggy, and at each side of the
carriage we're two mounted policemen.
The mounted escort had it's hands full
and did it's work we'll. The news spread
thatthe guarded carriage contained the
President and his wife, and crowds
gathered along the route Men, women
and children rushed into the streets,
but were turned back by the police.
Vehicles of all sorts tried to crowd I'D
close, but they were quickly forced
back to the sidewalk.
Cars were stopped at each crossing,
and it only required the raising of a
policeman's hand to cause the motor
man and gripmen to slow up. Not
single incident occurred during the ride
to mar it,
When the Presidents carriage reach
ed the Scott residence a squadron of
police drove back the hundred or more
people who had gathered. There was
muffied cheer, but Henry I. Scott
threw up his hands, warning the peo-
pie to be silent.
President Mckinley stepped out first
and turning to those assembled, raised
his hat and bowed. There was a Sec
ond involuntary cheer, which was
checked almost before it was uttered.
A second time the President bow ed to
the eager crowd.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott had arrived at
their residence ahead of the President,
and were waiting to receive their dis
tinguished guests. Mrs. Mckinley was
again lifted out of the carriage and
placed in an invalid chair and carried
into the house.
Secretary Cortelyou, when question
ed concerning Mrs. McKinley's condi-
ton, stated that there was nothing
alarming in her present indisposition,
and that perfect quiet and rest for
few days would restore her to her usual
health. 1t was the impression, how
ever. of those who saw Mrs. Mckinley
that she is very ill, and that her
present state may result in an entire
change of the Presidents program.

SORROW
Out from the home of her girlhood,
Over unknown realms alone,
In the spring time of life and the yeartide,
Our darling's spirit hath flown.
Her frail bark battled bravely,
On the pitiless shores of Time,
Till pitying angels guided it,
Into Gods seas, sublime
Who shall say that her spirit.
Joyed not at its release.
From its painful bodily prison,
Gaining eternal peace.
Ours, the pain and the heartache,
The grave and binding tears;
Hers, the surcease of sorrow,
And pain for endless years.
Think of the glory and gladness,
That wait for a soul set free;
Not of the sorrow and sadness,
OF bereaved humanity,
Think Of the joy and brightness,
Beyond times stormy sea,
Vision OF Christ who redeemed us,
Gift OF Immortality.

According to their provisions, the

of any team passing thereon, Also
such traction engine while moving
along such highways or streets must
stop at least one hundred feet before
meeting any horse or team OF horses

full violation of the above provisions
is punishable, upon conviction, by q
fine not exceeding one hundred dollars

1t will go hard with the 'sooner'
sportsman, says the Mankato Free
Press, who hunts chickens this month
or next, if the game warden catches
him. The game and fish commission
has ordered Executive Agent Fullerton
to enforce the law by filing up the
state with deputies if need be. Any one
caught violating the law is to be
punished to the full extent. His gun
will be confscated and his dog killed,
and he will besides be subject to fine.
The commission decided that such a
vigorous action was necessary to curb
the growing disposition to disregard
the closed season and kill chickens be-
fore they are ripe. The commission
has determined not to elect an attorney
but to leave prosecutions in the hands
of the local authorities. Better results
have been obtained in that way and it
is more economical. The law charges
county attorneys with the duty of
prosecuting violations Of the game and
fish laws, and the commission will let
them handle the cases. If they are un-
willing to act, special attorney will
be employed.

We have yet to see the newspaper
in Minnesota that has unqualifiedly
condemned the parolling of the
Youngers. Our readers will remember
the terrific ~ roast which our repub-
llcan contemporary dealt to the popu-
list senator of Kandiyohi county for
daring to vote for bill under which
the Youngers might have been paroled
two years ago. Now, because the
paroling was done by republicans the
sheet has no criticisms to make. That
proves that it doled out it's TRADE
against Senator Grue, not because OF
any principle involved, but because it
wanted to create prejudice against him
for political effects. Had space per-
mitted we might have quoted some OF
the lurid blasts of that article if the
exposition of cheap and servile party
tactics could in any sense become edi-
flying to our readers, which we doubt.
