we're still assembled members of
the cabinet, officials high in the

peared on the Threshold of the

the message of death had come.
Secretary Cortelyou halted at the
door, and summoning all, said:
Gentlemen, the President has
passed away"
Realizing the momentuous event
to the people of the country, he
stepped through the outer door
way and advancing down the walk
to the newspaper men at the front
gate, calmly announced:

the life of William Mckinley.

a carriage had brought those who

laid upon stretcher and covered
by a sheet and remained in the
chamber where death occurred. A
uniform guard of United States

for duty at the temporary bier.

emblem of mourning was hung
from the door OF the house. 1t was

hours, perhaps a few minutes,
when the end would come. By 10
O'Clock there were no perceptible
pulse. The extremities had grown
cold, and the rigiditY of death was
fast falling upon the sufferer. The
physicians who remained at bis
bedside detected only the faintest
heart beats. Some of them, know
ing that all was over, departed,
while others remained, not because

of respect for the expiring Presi-

specialist, who had been summon

at once to the bedside of the Pres

him the time had passed for the
slightest hope. He turned away
telling the assembled relatives and
officials the end was very near.
Midnight came and still the tre-
menduous vitality of the President
was battling under dissolution.
Another hour passed so, and still
another. At 2 o'clock DR.. Rixey,

death chamber. The others we're
in an adjoining room, while rela-
tlves, cabinet officers and nearest
friends were gathered in silent
groups in the apartments below.
DR.. Rixey observed a slight con
elusive tremor.
The President had entered the
valley of the shadow of death.
Word was at once taken to the
immediate relatives who were not
present to hasten for the last look
upon the President in life. They
came in groups, the women weep

Grouped about the bedside at
this final moment were the only

Dam for II at Redwood Pals is Nearing
Completion.


Redwood Falls, Oct 24.-The big
Burmeister dam, which is to give Red
wood Falls an. artificial lake three
miles long and, half mile wide. is
ow.nearing completion. Another ten
days..of fine weather will witness the
last touches of the structure.
The dam is of solid concret. 1t
is twenty eight. feet high, and with
flash boards will have a total height Of
thirty feet This, will back water a
distance of three miles so that naphtha
launches, etc., can go up to what is
known as Bissels rapids in the Red
wood river At the deepest portion
the water will be about thirty five feet
deep.
AS soon as the. sdam is completed
Mr. Burmeister will deed the city all
of the land secured by appraisement,
with the exception of the abutments
where the dam, with crest of zoe
feet, rests. The city will call for a
park commission, and the latter will
boulevard the lake. The latter has
already been stocked with fish.
By next year it is hoped that a free
public bath system will be inaugural
ed, and with the boating privileges
free to all Redwood Falls will be the
leading summer resort in the south

LOGGERS EAT VENISON.
Game Law is Said to Be Violated in The
Camps.

Duluth, Oct. 23.-ReliabIe reports
reach Duluth that the loggers of north
ern Minnesota are feeding their men
in the camps venison and moose, and
that very little fresh meat of any other
kind is used. 1t is said that there are
hunters who make it a business to kill
deer and moose for the camps. The
carcasses are brought secretly to the
camps at night, and only one or two
persons see or know the hunters. 1t
is reported here that a determined
effort is about to be made by the state
game and fish commission to put stop
to the illegal practice. 1t is a very
difficult thing to prevent the loggers
doing as they do, for northern Mime
sofa is vast territory and camps are
often many miles apart. 1t would
take several hundred deputies to abso-
lutely protect game in this part of the
state. Far down the north shore no
pretention is made by the people to
observe the game laws. Executive
Agent Fullerton and his deputies in
st. Louis county have done more,
however, in the past year to punish
offenders than was believed to be pos
sible. 1t is no easy matter to secure
convictions without the active work
of the deputies, and there are not
enough of them to cover the territory
except on occasions.
