Much suffering is reported among the
farm laborers, and in many districts it
is almost impossible to get the wheat
crop harvested because men will not go
into the harvest field during the hot
weather. The railroads of the North
west are also experiencing much diff

being unable to carry on their work. Sew

the drought-stricken region of the South

ChicaEo's Hottest Day.
With a temperature of 103 at ) o'clock
in the afternoon and of 90 at Z o'clock in
the evening Sunday broke all records i'll
the weather history of Chicago. At its
highest point the temperature was one
degree higher than that on July 10,
which was itself a record for
high temperate lures. Still more striking
evidence of the prevalence of the pres
ent unbreakable heat wave" is that as
evening approached there was little if
any relief. In the sun-baked streets of
the downtown district the reflected heat
from walls and pavements caused the
thermometer to register an even higher
temperature than that at the weather
bureau. The spectacle of coatless men
moving languidly along the streets in
blistering temperature at sunset was only
one of the outward signs of a remark
able incident in Chicago weather annals.

Murderous attacks upon the lives of
men like President Mckinley, are Lot
prompted by ordinary criminal motives.
They usually proceed from a diseased or
debased condition of mind, which cares
nothing at all for criminal statutes, and
criminal statutes are now and ever will
be of little avail as protection for kings
and presidents Irksome asst may be,
men high in authority in this country
must have better personal protection.
President Mckinley was not properly
guarded at Buffalo. If he had have been,
an assassin with murderous weaponin
his hand, covered only by q handker-
chief, could not have approached him
as the assassin did. Let the anarchists
feel the sharp edge of the law, but let
no one imagine that the lives of our
chief executives will thereby become
more secure. In the vigil of trusty
guards reasonable safety may be found.

Greeted by Lifting Hats.
The demonstration which greeted his
appearance was in keeping with the
solemnity of the occasion. Those who
saw him did not raise cheer, but at
tested their respect by lifting their
hats. As soon as he entered the We

the automobile went Swimming to the
residence of Mr.. Wilcox on Delaware

tering along on either side could with
difficulty keep the pace which the au-

being Mr.. Loeb, Jr., his private sec
rotary, and Mr.. Ansley Wilcox. With
hardly any conversation he retired at

dressed. At $50 O'clock he was ready
to leave for the NIilburn house, where
he desired to make his official call of

AUTOPSY ON THE REMAINS
Proves Surprise to the Doctors, and Ac
counts for the Death

fEoSos surprise 10 the DOctOr1, ana AC-
counts for the Death.
Buffalo, Sept. 16-The following re-
port of the autopsy upon the remains
of President Mckinley was issued at
p. m. Saturday:
''The bullet which struck over the
breast bone did not pass through the
skin, and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls of
the stomach near Its lower border.
Both holes We're found to be perfectly
closed by the stitches, but the tissue
around each hole had become gangren-
GUS. After passing through the stom-
ach the bullet passed into the back
walls of the abdomen. hitting and tear
ing the upper end of the kidney. This
portion of the bullet track was also
gangrenous. the gangrene involving
the 'pancreas. The bullet has not yet
been found. There was no sign of
peritonitis or disease of other organs.
The heart walls were very thin.
There was no evidence of any at
tempt at repair on the part of nature,
and death resulted from the gangrene,
which affected the stomach around the
bullet wounds, as well MS the tissues
around the further course of theibullet
Death was unavoidable by any asurgic-
al or medical treatment, and was the
direct result of the bullet wound"
The foregoing is signed by fourteen
physicians, including; Rixey, Mann.
Mynter, Park, Wasdin, Janeway and
johnson.
DE-. Wasdin has suspicion that the
bullet was poisoned, thus accounting
| for the gangrene: but none of the other
| physicians agrees with him. The re-
naming bullet in the pistol, which is
a revolver, will be examined by en-
perts, in order to settle the poison
! question.
Referring to the report on the au-
topsy, DR.. Mann was asked: 1.-THE re-
port says the heart walls We're very
thin. Was this condition peciiliar to
the president or is it a common COM
plant? Did the use of smoking to-
bacco by the president have any I'M
portant bearing on the case?"
"A man whose heart walls are very
thin" said the doctor, sis usually one
who leads n sedentary life and whose
heart gets no great amount of exercise
This organ, like any other, requires
active exercise to keep it in proper
condition. No doubt the presidents
heart was sufficient for him in his
ordinary business affairs of life, when
no strain was required. When the en-
traordinary efforts were necessary the
heart was unable to meet them. No
don't think the smoking habit af-
fected the presidents heart to the ex.
tent Of making it figure in the result

The president had entered the valley
of the shadow Of death. Word was
at once taken to the immediate rela-
lives who were not present to hasten
for the last look upon the president
in life they came in groups. the
women weeping and the men bowed
and sobbing in their intense grief.
"The President Il Dead"
The minutes were now flying and 1t
was 2:15 o'clock. Silent and motion
less, the circle of loving friends stood
about the bedside. DR. Rixey leaned
forward and placed his ear close TO the
breast of the expiring president
Then he Strengthened UP and made an
effort to speak.
THE president is dead" he said.
The president had passed away
peacefully, without the convulsivc
struggle of death. 1t was as though
he had fallen asleep. AS they gazed
on the face of the martyred presi-
dent only the sobs of the mourners
broke the silence of this chamber of
death. Mr.. Cortelyou had been one of
the first to rouse himself after the
stunning effect of the announcement of
death. He passed from the room and
down the stairway.
There in the large drawing-room
were still assembled the members of
the cabinet, officials high in the admin
iStratiOn and in the confidence of the
president AS he appeared at the
threshold of the room they seemed to
realize that the message of death had
come. Mr.. Cortelyou halted at the
door and summoning all of his effort.
said:
Gentlemen, the president has
passed away"
Realizing, too, the momentous ma.
ture or the event to the people of the
country, Mr.. Cortelyou stepped
through the outer doorway of the Mil
burn house and advancing down the
walk to the newspaper men at the
front gate, calmly announced: "The
president died at 2:15 O'clock"
Thus closed the final chapter in the
life of William Mckinley.
Friends and comrades of the late
president took n last look Mt the dead
in the Milbnrn house Sunday, where
the simple services We're followed by
