ley had delivered public address
at the exposition, which was listen
ed to by the largest throng ever at

most notable address and was en-
Enthusiastically received. AT night,
the President again visited the ex-
position, and witnessed the mag
nifcent pyroiechnic display in his
honor SO far his visit had been
one great ovation of applause and
honor to him as the highest officer
of the nation.

hold public reception, extending

people poured in steady stream
through the aisle to greet their
President. Tins he stood gracious
~ smiling aud extending his hand,
when the assassin came-a bCyish
lonklng fellow of about % years,
carrying his right hand wrapped in
IA handkerchief, apparently sup
ported by sling under his coat.
Those who noticed him thought his
hand was injured. The president
extended his right hand, smiling
benevolently, as the supposedly
wounded youth extended the left.
At the same moment. quick as a
flash, the fiend whipped ont his
right hand with a revolver aud fir
ed the shots, which have finally
proved fatal and carried the Presi-
dent of a great nation to his grave.
The assassin was at once over

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER IA, 1901.
WILLIAM MCKINLEY.

For the third time the United
States is bowed with grief at the
death of its highest executive Off
Ger by the hand Of the assassin. 1t
seems a sad coincidence that in each
of these three shining victims the
bullet of the murderer Stayed a
man of good and pure character,
one IN whom his worst enemy
cnnld find no flaw of diShOnOr or
diSloyalty no evil which might have
been calculated to bring upon him
the hatred or revenge of any man.
OF Lincoln, aud again of Garfield :,
when each in turn had been laid
Low by the assassin's hand, it was
said even by their most bitter pc
litical opponents: "He was good
man."
Aud so it is today, the nation
monrns as with one heart for the
dead president, who, take him all
in all, was a man in whose person
al character there was no evil. All
may not have agreed with his poll
cies or approved his course in mat
tiers Of government, but all must
admire him as an exemplary man,
as an American who has been fully
equal to the honor paid him when
he was chosen TO fll the highest
office of the government McKin
ley's name is forever linked with
one Of the greatest epochs of Amer
lean history. he has earned the
plaudits of the world, and at the
same time, by his pure and up
right character, his tender loyal
devotion to his wife, and withal
his simple, transformations, demo
cratic ways, his affable and kindly
disposition, he has won the admi-
ration and the affection of the
American people in measAe far
greater than has been accOS d to
men in his place. In his death
the nation mOurns another truly
good man.
To the grief stricken wife, bound
TO suffer the loss of him she loved
and hOnored most of all on earth,
because destiny chose him for such
a high place and such tragic sac
rifice, the American people extend
their deepest sympathy aud assure
her of their sorrow at her loss and
theirs. The nation mourns with
her.

ceived here by telegraph early this
morning.

Germ was felt by all of our citizens.
