failed. but the last in 1890 did not. A
popular candidate was nominated by
the democrats in the person of exc
Lieut.. Gov. Warwick. Mckinley was
finally defeated by the slender major
ity of S63 votes. This defeat followed
closely after the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill, the high tariff measure to
which Maj. Mckinley had given his
name and for which he stood as spon-
sor on account of his position in con-
gress as chairman of the committee of
ways and means and the leader of the
republican majority in the house.
Astute politicians predicted the COM
plete political extinction of Mckinley
after his defeat in 1890. Not only had
he gone down in the wreck, but his
party's majority in the lower house OF
congress had followed its leader. The
whole battle had been fought and lost
on the issue of the Mckinley bill. The
decision of the people was thought by

ENVIRONMENT OF AUTHORS
People Prominent in Literature Who
Have Sought COnEeniaI
Surroundings.

The workshops of American authors
have much to do with the quality of
what they produce. Differing tenn
peraments require different conditions
in which to accomplish the best re-
suits. This is peculiarly shown in the
case of the great American writer's
of the day. For example, Harriet Pres
colt Spofford does her best work sit
ting under the trees writing on pad
resting on her lap.
Margaret Deland has a perpetual
bit of summer introduced into her
Boston home. A small glass conserva-
tory, filled to overlooking with gay
jonquils, is where this brilliant writer
does her best work.
Winston Churchill, author of erich
ard Carvel,' lives in ST. Louis in the
winter and in Vermont in the summer.
He does his work in very business
ike way in an Office at the top of one
of the city's skyscrapers. Here, sur
rounded by the roar and din of the
city's traffic, he wrote the charming
story of long ago, when cable cars and
typewriters were an unknown guam
tity.
Bret Harte generally writes out of
doors, but always while smoking. He
said the first lines always took cigar
and sometimes two cigars.
In the city of Atlanta, in a homelike
little cottage empowered in rosebush-

The ancestry OF William Mckinley
can be traced back to the old Scotch
Covenanters of three centuries ago.
During the reign of Charles II. the
family migrated to the north of Ire
land. From the north of Ireland
about the year 174O two Mckinley
brothers came to this country. One
of these brothers. James, was the
great-great-g grandfather of the late
president. His son David Mckinley
was a revolutionary hero, and a JEFF
fersonian democrat. He died in the
year 1910. Through this David Nc
Kinley's wife, Hannah c. Rose, the
English Puritan stock became min
gled with the Scotch Covenanter
stock in President McKinley's blood.
The grandfather of Hannah c. Rose
was an English Puritan leader who
settled in Pennsylvania, and who had
somewhat to do with the government
of that colony. McKinley's GRANDPA

President MCKINLEY.

William Mckinley, like Abraham
Lincoln, had sprung from the heart
of the common people. He was one
of those who had taken part in the
strife between fraternal states. Out
of it he carried no bitterness, but,
catching the spirit of the dying Lin
coin, his heart grew broad as the
union and was filed with love of his
fellow-man. He looked forward to
the time when America might rejoice
in the bravery of all her sons, and
when the union, linked heart to heart,
would have its strongest bond of per-
petuity. He became president, and,
Notwithstanding his peaceful nature,
was destined to be war president.
1t became his country's privilege dur
ing his administration to end 400
years of cruelty in Cuba, to carry
the American flag around the globe
and plant it in the Philippines, to
penetrate the heart of China and to
place the United States on a plane
with the powers of the earth in Pc

to Ohio. William Mckinley, ST., was
born in Pennsylvania in 1907.
%-*
William Mckinley was a seventh
son. There were eight other chill
dren in the family. He was born at
Niles, Trumbuu county, o., January
20, 1S43. From this town, then little
village of iron-workers, the family
moved to Poland, O., on the western
reserve, for the better education of
the children. 1t had been his moth
er's ambition, as well as his own,
that he receive a thorough college ed
ucation. He attended the academy
at Poland, and from there went to
the Allegheny college at Meadville,
Pa III health took him home in
his junior year. The next winter he
spent teaching in district school
for a salary of $25 and his board.
=
At the outbreak of the civil war
young Mckinley enlisted as a private
| in the Twenty-third Ohio infantry.
He served under men who afterward
became we'll known to the nation.
His first colonel was Rosecrans. later
the famous major general. Stanley
Matthews, who achieved distinction
as United States senator and asso-
ciate justice in the United States SUI
preme court, was his lieutenant
colonel. His major was President
Rutherford B. Hayes.
Mckinley saw his first battle at
Carnifex Ferry. Later the regiment
joined McClellan's Army of the Poto-
mac. At Antietam Mckinley was a
sergeant His bravery on this occa-
sion led to his receiving a commission
as second lieutenant. He was a staff
officer under Gems. Hayes, Cook and
Carroll. At 20 he was first lieuten-
ant, and year later captain. Just
before the close of the war President
Lincoln signed the commission giving
him the brevet rank of major. Dur
ing the war he cast his first vote for
president, and helped to swell the
Lincoln majority.
At the close of the war the youth
full major Gagged 22) decided to fit
himself as a lawyer. He had been
urged to apply for commission in
the regular army, but his tastes and
predictions were those of a man of
peace. He entered the office of Judge
Charles E. Gidden at Poland, and
made good progress in the study of
law After a year and half's work
he went to Albany, n. Y, where he
completed his legal studies. He was

swEETHBARTs FROM CHILDHOOD.
Happy Home Life of President Me-
KinIey and His Invalid Wife.

Happy Home Life of President Me-
KinIey and His Invalid Wife.
President Mckinley and his wife
knew each other from childhood. In
Canton, o., the homestead of the Nc
Kinleys was only 100 yards from the
house of James Saxton, the father of
Ida Saxton Mckinley.
When the civil war was over and Will
liam Mckinley went back to Canton, a
veteran, he and the companion of his
childhood fell in love with each other.
They were married on January rs, 1871,
just four years before his twenty
eighth birthday.
Countless times since he said that
the approval of Mrs. Mckinley had al
ways been an object 90 him in every
thing he did. She interested herself in
all his affairs, and he came to rely upon
her for much help and counsel.
Two daughters, Florence and Katie,
were born to them, but they died when
they were very young. From that day
Mrs. Mckinley was saddened, and her
grief affected her health.
When he was elected to the presi-
dency she grfeved because her illness
made it impossible to maintain the
elaborate system of entertainments
that had marked President Cleveland's
life in tho white house. She worked
all the harder in the interests o. her
husband.
Even when her health was worst she
said:

1t was the centennial year that Maj
Mckinley made his entrance into ma
tional politics. In 1876 he declared
himself candidate for the republican
nomination for congress in his district
and he received the nomination over
three opponents on the first ballot. He
WIS not only nominated but elected,
which feat he repeated half dozen
times, representing the people of
Stark and the surrounding counties of
Ohio in congress for the IA years from
1876 to 1890.
During that period the democrats
gerrymandered the district three
times in attempts TO drive him out of
congress, in which he was making him
self famous. The first two attempts

The startling events of his first term,
the blowing up of the Maine, the Span
ish war and our quick and decisive VIC
tory, the driving of the Spaniards out
of Cuba and our promise to iberate
that much-abused island and place it
among the republics of the western
hemisphere, our annexation of Porto
Rico, the Hawaiian islands and the
Philippines, are all part of contempt
raneous history. When Mr.. McKin-
ley's term neared its close last year
such a deep hold had he secured upon
the affections of his party that his was
the only name mentioned for his sue

then governor of New York, was placed
upon the ticket with him to fill the va
cancy caused in the vice presidency by
the death of Vice President Hobart.

THE CITY ELEC TION.
Mt Much Interest Being Taken Some Avowec
Candidates.

Up to the closing hour of the registra-
ton books at p. m. last Wednesday i34
names had been put down by City Clerk
Doust, divided by wards as follows:
First, 167; second, 155 third, ll2. This
is less than one-h half the total vote OF the
city. So far little interest is being taken
in the municipal election. The primary
will be held on Friday or Saturday of.the
week previous to December 3. No an
nouncements are yet made for council,
though it is likely that f. C. Hall and A.
B. Weed will be candidates for re-elee-
ton. Mr.. Hall is not anxious for the Of
fee, but he will serve again if it is the
wish Of the voters Of his ward. With
the resignation Of Councilman Reed of
the Third ward his place will be to fill.
Allen will not be candidate. There
may yet be fight in some districts for
council, especially on the west side,
where considera BILE feeling exists against
the present council for letting the con-
tract for grading Mckee avenue at such
nlgh ngure.
E. G Peck will likely be candidate
for city treasurer and H. B. Doust will
ask for clerkship. Mayor Fechter is not
an avowed candidate for reelection, but
he will serve if the people wish him to.
Mr.. Fechter has given general satisfac-
ton and If he wants the office again
there is no doubt of him getting it, The
only real contest will be for city attor-
ney Mr. Snyder would like to be elect
ed again, though the remuneration is
small and the trouble great, and Attor-
ney VIM. Thompson would like to have
the office. He is republican and Sny-
der is democrat. This contest will be
watched with interest.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Morford Residence Southeast of the City De
stroyed Last Friday Night.

At an early hour last Friday night the
residence of Mrs. H. O. Morford, about
four miles southeast OF the city caught
fire and was totally DESTROYED with all
its contents. No one was at home at the
time and some mystery surrounds the
origin OF the fire. Mrs. Morford was at
Seattle at the time with sick child and
left the place in charge of the hired man.
1t is stated that the hired man came to
this city Friday night to attend the the.
atre and left lighted lamp burning in
the house. 1t is supposed the lamp ex-
ploded and caused the fire. The loss
is about $1,000, with $1,000 insurance.

AT the special meeting OF the school
board last Wednesday night the contract
was let to the Yakima Hardware Co.
for new heating plant for the Central
school building. This information will

is $ll70. 1t consists of a new furnace,
new boiler and new ventilators, includ-
ing number Of changes in the heating
pipes. The heater will not be put in

made in the big chimney in the build
ing SO as to give better service. At
present there are three partitions in the
chimney which will be taken out and a
sheet iron smoke stack will be run
through the opening. A number OF
other Improvements will also be made
about the building SO as to put it in bet.
ter condition for winter use.
