HER STRENGTH IS fBBING.
Mrs. Mckinley Has Not Accomplished
the Necessary Rally.

b WASHINGTON, June 3.-Mrs. Nc
Kinley continues very weak Her con-
dition is not greatly changed from that
of yesterday, but each day that elapses
without gain in strength lessons her
powers of recuperation.
The complaint which came near
ending her life in San Francisco is
still present. 1t is in a slightly less
aggravated form, but gives the physi-
clans and the president much concern.
Mrs. Mckinley has shown remarkable
vitality, but her illness has so reduced
her strength as to leave her very
feeble
1t is feared that unless a change for
the better soon manifests itself her
strength may become so near exhaust
ed as to leave her without rallying
power
The news given out by the physi-
clans in attendance was not reassur-
ing, though hope of better things con-
tinues. After consultation between
Drs. Rixey, Sternberg and Johnson,
the following bulletin was issued:
Mrs. Mckinley passed comfortable
night, but her condition has not ma
terially changed since the report of
yesterday"
There was no further consultations
of the physicians during the day, but
DIR. Rixey called during the evening
and spent some time with the patient.
In response to inquiries from time to
time the statement was made that
there had been no change in the con-
dition Of the distinguished sufferer.
President Mckinley spent most of
the day at the bedside of his wife,
though late in the afternoon he went
out for an hours drive. He departed
alone, but met Judge Watson of Ohio.
an old friend, on the way and the
latter accompanied him to the white
house.

Expires Suddenly.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Captain
Henry w. Howgate, formerly signal
officer in the United States army, died
suddenly this afternoon of cerebral
hemorrhage at his home in this city.
He was 81 years old. No definite fu-
neral arrangements have been made,
but it is expected the interment will
be here.
Captain Howgate had a singular and
eventful life. While a trusted official
of the signal service he was charged
with appropriating large amount of
government funds and placed under ar
rest. His escape and fight were at

CAN'T HAVE HIS CHILD.
Court Denies a Nebraska Man Possession
of BIS Own Baby.


NEW YORY, June 3.--Frark B.
Weyant. the wealthy owner of a cattle
ranch near Lincoln, Neb., made an un-
successful effort in the supreme court
here to obtain the custody of his in
FAINT child, Gladys. About a year ago
Mrs. Weyant came to Brooklyn with
his wife to pay a visit 70 his rela-
tives. While here the child was born
and the mother died few days after
the birth. Mr.. Weyant returned to
Nebraska to attend TO his business in
terests there, leaving the child with
his brother, Henry S. Weyant, and his
wife, Lizzie. A few months later cor
respondence was opened with view of
having the child sent on to the father,
but the brother sent word TO the father
that he could not think of such thing,
and that the idea of having so young
a child travel so long a distance was
absurd in the extreme. Finally, Wey-
ant came on, with his sister, Mrs. Lucy
Armstrong, but was surprised to find
that the brother refused to surrender
the child. He then had recourse to the
courts and the case came up before
Supreme Court Justice Maddox, when
the facts in the case were presented.
Several physicians were called and
gave it as their opinion that it was in
expedient 10 have child sent on so
long a journey. Other physicians tes-
titled that the child would not suffer
from the trip. Justice Maddox began
giving decision in favor of the child's
retention, when counsel for the father
broke in and insisted on being heard.
He cited numerous instances where in
valids had travelled long distances with
perfect safety, notably that of Mrs.
Mckinley.
Justice Maddox decided that the child
should remain in the custody of the
brother for a year, at the end of which
time the father might renew his appli-
cation.

Statue in His Honor is Dedicated at Red
Cloud.
RED CLOUD, Neb., June 3.-On Me-
mortal day the procession moved
to the cemetery, with the Red Cloud
band at the head, followed by old vet
erans and the returned volunteers of
the late war, the speakers and noted
visitors and citizens in carriages.
After the services of the Grand Army
of the Republic at the cemetery came
the ceremony Of unveiling the monu-
ment erected to the memory of Will
lian A. McKeighan. The monument
was draped with flags and at a given
signal the shaft was unveiled by Miss
Edith McKeighan. William j. Bryan
delivered an address, in which he spoke
OF the virtues of Mr.. McKeighan, his
record in congress and the strong hold
he had in the hearts of the people of
this district and said the good he has
done to his state and country will be
be more enduring than the shaft of
granite erected to his memory.
Mr.. Bryan was followed by ex-Sen-
ator Allen with an grafton in manu-
script. He reviewed the history and
public works of William A. Nc
Keighan. He told of the early strug-
giles against poverty, of his untiring
efforts in behalf of humanity. He re-
lated incidents of his early life and
showed the disadvantages with which
he had to contend.

THE WEST HAS GOOD RAINS.
Plenty to Insure an Abundance of Grass
at Least.


The past week, says the Nebraska
Crop Bulletin, has been cool, with
heavy showers in western counties and
generally light showers in eastern. The
daily mean temperature has averaged
five degrees below normal in eastern
counties and three degrees in western.
Frosts occurred quite generally in the
last day of the week. Only slight
damage has thus far been reported.
The rainfall was above normal in the
western counties, and ranged from
one to two and one-half inches in most
OF the northwestern counties. In
eastern counties it was generally less
than half an inch.
Winter wheat has generally grown
well, although cinch bugs have done
some damage, and in places more rain
would have improved the crop pros
poets. Oats have grown fairly well.
but continues thin on the ground and
in rather poor condition. Grass has
improved in western counties, and gen.
orally pastures and meadows are in
good condition. Corn planting is
nearly finished in northern counties,
and some replanting has been done in
southern. The low temperature has
been unfavorable for the termination
and growth of corn, and it is coming
up slowly, but in most places the stand
is good; cultivation of the. earliest
planted corn has commenced. Gener-
ally prospects for good fruit crop
are reported, but some complaint has
been made that apples are not settling
well, indicating that the apple crop
may be light.

COMMUNITY OF INTEREST"

Some of the Effects OF the Great Rail-
road Changes Which Are Occurring.
Community of Interest seems to be
the watchword among the great rail-
road corporations, nowadays, and GER
tain persons who are apt to decide
upon topics Of general interest, especi-
ally new ones, without thinking upon
the facts, have supposed that this
meant an arrangement of interest only
to the railway companies participating
in the deals, traffic arrangements,
leases, ETC., which show in the stock
transactions and engage the thought
and ability Of traffic and passenger
agents. 1t is undoubtedly the financial
interest of the corporations which
moves their officers to enter into con-
tracts, but the consideration of this
topic necessarily includes that Of the
convenience, comfort and attractions
which they can offer to their patrons.
If competition be less intense, and rate
wars be relegated to the dead past,
1t means that more attention will be
paid to those inducements which will

increasing sale every season confirms.
