in SORROW.
The Nation Is
Bowed.
President Mckinley Has Fallen
Like Lincoln and Garfield by
the ASSaSSin'S Bnllet.

q In our Fridays issue, the latest dis.
patches indicated that an unfavorable
turn had come in the Presidents con-
Edition, and that there was but the
4slightest hope of recovery.
: The day before, the country had al
most dismissed all fear of his death,
Sand there was gladness in all hearts
Eand songs of Joy sprung from many
slips.
But the change came so sudden as 10
salmost dismay his medical attendants.
sThe hearts action failed. Nature re-
fused to respond to proper treatment.
1t was apparent the end was near, and
the Cabinet and Mrs. Mckinley were
Summoned. Restoratives were used,
land the President was brought back to
consciousness, to bid last goodbye to
This loved and beloved wife: he said
s"Good-bye, goodbye, "then comforting
his wife, said, 1T is His'way: His will be
DONE" and relapsed into unconscious
ness. from which he never rallied,
Friday evening, he was reported to be
dying. Hundreds of thousands of peo-,
pie hung about the bulletin boards,
the land, watching with
'eagerness for every item of news, and
hoping without hope that somehow
there might be change for the better!
Hearts were choked with emotion, and
weighed down with sorrow, and deep,
indignation was felt and expressed;
towards those who melted the coward,
~ villain to take the President's life.i
AT quarter to nine, word came to ourl
city by wire that the President could
mot live beyond twenty minutes, but,
minutes grew into hours. and not until
2:15 o'clock Saturday morning did the
END come, and the noble spirit of ourj
'martyred President went out to God
who gave it.
The ringing and tolling OF the court-i
house and church bells awakened theI
people to a sad realization that the end
had come, and many pillows were wet,
with tears till morning.
Throughout the nation and event
Through Europe the news was received
with great sorrow.
An autopsy held by the physicians,
revealed the fact that the Presidents
de ath was inevitable. The wound in
the abdomen, from the point of the en-
trance of the bullet to its passage
Through the stomach, revealed the fact,
that gangrene of violent character
and of unusual extent had set in, and
that about the wounds in the stomach,
lit had spread to the diameter of a dol
lar. These revelations carried the con-
.victlon to the minds of the surgeons
that the bullet had been poisoned, and
that there was at no time any possible
escape from death.

"SOME LESSONS
We MAY LEARN,
From the Assassination Of PreSi
dent Mckinley"

sWas the theme of Rev. S. S. Adams,
! last Sunday morning at the Lutheran
kchurch. Some of the good things he
said were:
The foundation to good government
i is obedience to law.
True freedom recognizes law.
There has been a misconception oi
| liberty, so taught that it has become
dangerous.
This sowing of evil seed has cslmin-
b ated in the assassination of our beloved
president: not simply to take the life oi
the President, but thrust at the life
/ of civil government-th life of this
Republic.
! No more reasonable words have
Sbeen spoken, than those resulting in
: this sad ending of the President.
This land for more than one hundred
/ years has been an asylum for the OPP
pressed of every land.
This does not include a welcome to
, the enemies of good government.
The anarchist wherever found is a
murderer at heart. He would not
change laws, but destroy all laws.
Tney have been permitted to meet,
gather the young about them, and
teach them to ignore and disobey all
Flaw.
The State must arise in her might
land destroy this evil influence, or it
Twill either destroy the government, or
much of its power for good.
Every anarchist should be hunted
down as a wild beast.
They who would destroy the govern
'ment have no right to claim protection
by the government.
