IN ELLSWORTH.
Expressions OF regret at the death Of
President Mckinley and sympathy with
Mrs. Mckinley are on every lip here in
Ellsworth. Senator Hale said Saturday
morning:
This Is a terrible calamity, falling with all
the greater force after the people had been
buoyed up with hope. Fortunately the sy stem
Of our government is such that every thing will
be adjusted to the new order Of things. see
no necessity for an extra session of Congress.
The new President will have q better oppor-
tunity to become acquainted with all the details
of administration II left to himself. He has
| prodigious task before him. and the whole
world Is Interested In his success and the wis
dom of his course. 1t will be long day before
any Of us will see President SO generally pop
ular as was President Mckinley,
| Chief Justice Wiswell said:
The calamity seems all the greater after the
strong hopes of the last few days and the great
degree of confidence that the President would
| eventually recover. 1t is an especial calamity
! Mt this time when the President had such great
problems to solve in our foreign relations and
when the course he had already pursued had
| given such general satisfaction to the country
| at large. Rarely has there been President In
whom the people had such general confidence
as they had In President Mckinley.
At special meeting OF the city govern
ment Saturday, the following was passed !:
Whereas, By the depiorable act of a mis-
guided miscreant We. In common with all right
minded citizens. have been caused to mourn the
death of our respected President therefore
RESOLVED, That we feel profound regret for
the great loss, and deep Indignation at the
dastardly deed, and think 1t is time that the
Congress Of the United States should take such
action as will prevent the immigration of any
person or persons imbaed with anarchistic
ideas. and who do not appreciate and will not
live up to and abide by the laws, rules and
principles that obtain In this country. Further
more, we recommend and request that all bust
ness In this city which consistently can be
| avoided, be suspended on the day of the funeral
| of the President.
Tomorrow will be observed as a day of
| mourning In Ellsworth. Nearly ali the
stores and business places viii oe closed
| all day. In many windows there are en-
| blems OF mourning. The First National
bank building Is drsped in mourning,
and Hancock hall will be d-aped.
| The question has been asked many
| times, why is the custom house not
| draped. A special act OF Congress passed
| some years ago forbids he draping OF
government buildings. The only evil
dence of mourning allowed is the half
masting Of the flag.
| All the city schools will be closed to-
morrow, and Superintendent Stuart has
| ordered all school flags at half mast for
thirty days.
