Cause of Death Unknown.

The physicians and surgeons who attended President Mckinley through the closing days of his life have pre- sented to the State Medical society a lengthy report covering the medical and surgical history of the case.
 In discussing the report Dr. Mann said that there was absolutely no bac- teriological infection. Continuing he said:
 If you ask me what caused the presidents death. I could not tell you. doubt if that will ever be dIs- covered. Among contributory causes, however, were the presidents age, his lack of exercise and his naturally weak heart, which made his pulse high"
 Dr. Mann was asked, by one of the listening medical men, why the X-ray was not applied so that the missing bullet might be located. Dr. Mann replied that there was nothing in the condition of the patient to show that the bullet was doing any harm, and he said that if the X-ray had been used it would only have been to satisfy the curiosity of the physicians, and the excitement attending the op- eration would have been harmful to the patient, so the doctors refrained from using the X-ray apparatus.

Starting of CarnegIe's Fortune.

It has lately developed publicly that another individual-and one known to wide fame-is to be added to the list of noted ones who found fortune in oil. Andrew Carnegie, steel magnate and library donator was one of the fortunate persons to participate in Pennsylvania's pioneer oil development. When the oil ex- citement opened in the Keystone state, MT. Carnegie invested Sl8.000 part of it borrowed, the story goes, in petroleum lands. A period of depres- sion coming he decided to dispose of his lands and had sold one-third in- terest for S3,000, when values took a sharp upward turn which enabled him to clear, it is stated, S1 100000 in a year, The money thus acquired furnished the foundation for MT. Car negie's vast iron and steel enterprises.

Nissen Navigates Rapids.

Peter Nissen, of Chicago, has made a successful trip through the whirl- pool rapids and whirlpool in his 2l- foot boat. His boat contains an eight engine, and the total weight is little more than five tons. It is cigar shaped, four feet beam, and most of the weight is in the keel. Previous to making the perilous trip Nissen cruised about the river below the falls and the rapids, and at four o'clock headed his craft down stream. after banking the fires and allowing the steam to escape. Ten thousand persons lined the American and Can adian shores, and the bridges over the canyon were jammed. The trip was made in four minutes, and then the boat passed under the whirlpool, and was carried around twice. When it came in close to the Canadian shore Nissen opened hatch and poked his head and arms out. A rope was thrown from the bank and and he landed safely.

Hew 0iaz is Guarded.

Dr. Frank J. Toussaint has re- turned from six months exploring trip through the mining and agricul- tural districts of northwestern Mex ico. Dr. Toussaint travelled on horse back, with his own caravan of pack mules and peons, and his knowledge of thr foothills and arroyos of the states of Chihuahua and Sonora, as well as the remote plantations far from the railroads and beaten tracks of the modern tourist is very exact. He also made visit to the City of Mexico, and conferred with President Diaz in relation to mineral rights on a government grant in Yaqui valley.
 "The shooting of President McKin- ley" said Dr. Toussaint, would not have been possible in Mexico, coun- try where attempted assassination is one of the expected incidents of gov ernment. President Diaz never takes a walk on the street, or in any public place without secret service men watching over him. Nobody with his hand wrapped up, or with his hand in his pocket could approach him with out being stopped. One morning a lame man, carrying a heavy cane, was passing him on the street. A detec- tive brushed against the man as if by accident, and knocked the cane out of his hand. Hepicked it upand returned it to the man, with profuse apologies, but while he had the cane in his hands he gave the head turn and pull to satisfy himself that it was not a sword cane. Another time an old woman carrying a basket on her arm was stopped because her hand was concealed in the basket. The detec- tive lifted her hand out of the basket, and seeing that it held no weapon, apologized for the liberty.
 Attempts on the life of Diaz have been made, and no precaution has been spared to prevent repetition of them. If man clasps his hands be- hind him while he is talking with public man, a detective will suggest that he allow his hands to hang naturally at his side."-Milwaukee Sentinel.

What She May Expect. The Goal of Love is Marriage and the Goal of Marriage

When young man and young woman are very much in love every step of life they take is timed to the music of the wedding march.

A war between Russia and Japan, over Korea, is predicted by Dr. Nichs olas Senn, professor of surgery in the University of Chicago, who has ar rived from tour of the Orient. Said he: "While I was in Japan, noticed on every hand that the Japanese were making preparations for war with Russia, and they made no secret of it. The cause of the trouble is no secret in Japan. It wants Korea Japan is not large enough for the Japanese. Russia practically holds Manchuria and Japan does not intend letting this nation extend its in fluence to Korea if this condition can be avoided. Hence the preparations for war.

A Daughters Reading.

For those mothers who are anxious that their daughters should read wisely rather than widely, there is a valuable article in the November number of The Delineator describ- ing ''The Book Life of a Girl" It shows how, with a little assistance, her book reading can be so manipu- lated that she will be broadened out by her reading without the necessity of later being obliged to unlearn and forget pernicious books that may only be pernicious by having been read in advance of the time when she could comprenend their deeper and fuller meaning.

Fyfe. of Orilla, Simcoe Co.,, Ont, Uaud two bottles of the Pleasant Pellets, as you advised for congestion of the uterus, and for weakness, and can safely say that your medicine has been the means of restoring me to good health again, which had not had for over three years, until taking your medicine. I thank you for your kind and prompt at- tention to my letter asking advice"

I took nine bottles of Favor ite Prescription and six of Golden Medical Discovery Had it not been for Dr. Pierce's medicines no doubt I would have suffered continually the rest of my life.

 London, Aug. 27.-Mr. Merrlman, whose arrest has just been announced from Cape Town, recently visited Eng land, and urged in speeches and inter- views a conciiatory policy toward the Boers. In a long letter to a friend, treating of martial law at the Cape, dated from Stellenbosch August 6, and published here tosday, MT. Merriman says:
 Public meetings are forbidden by military force. Quite recently a mem- Der of parliament. living fifty miles from Cape Town. who had a few men to see him, was haled before 8 military tribunal. At another place a man was deported because he refused to join the Town Guard. To crown all, our parlia- ment, where the voice of the people should be heard in legitimate, respon- sible fashion, is suspended, contrary to law. The administration of the whole country is carried on by means of the illigitimate issue of public money. You gag a man and, because he does not make his voice heard, you declare he is contented with his position
