President McKlnley,s Life.

William Mckinley, twenty-fifth
President of the United States, was
born at Niles, Trumbull County, Ohio,
Jan. 20, 1S43. His ancestors were of
Scotch-Irish descent. and came to this
country about a century and a half
ago. William Mckinley, father of the
President, married, in 1929. Nancy
Campbell Allison, who was of English
and Scotch German descent. The
President is the seventh of their nine
children. Iron manufacturing and
molding was the trade of the elder
Mckinley and of his father. They
were men of strong character and abil-
ity, devout members of the Methodist
Church, and in politics ardent Whig
and Republican. The father of the
President lived to see his son Governor
of Ohio, and his mother saw him

In q Critical Condition.
The first official bulletin regarding
the condition of President Mckinley
was issued by Private Secretary Cor
telyou at o'clock in the evening. He
prefaced it with the statement that 1t
had been prepared by the doctors. 1t
reads thus:
The President was shot about
o'clock. One bullet struck him on the
upper portion of the breastbone, glanc-
ing and not penetrating. The second
bullet penetrated the abdomen five
inches below the left nipple and one
and one-half inches to the left of the
median line.
THE abdomen was opened through
the line of the bullet wound. 1t was
found that the bullet had penetrated
the stomach. The opening in the front
wall of the stomach was carefully
closed with silk stitches, after which
search was made for hole in the
back wall of the stomach. This was
found and also closed in the same way.
The further course of the bullet
could not be discovered, although care
full search was made. The abdominal
wound was closed without drainage.
No injury to the intestines or other
abdominal organ was discovered.
"The patient stood the operation
well. Pulse of good quality, rate of
130. Condition at the conclusion of
the operation was gratifying. The re-
suit cannot be foretold. His condition
at present justifies hope of recovery.
