Canton, Ohio, Sept. l9.-The streets
OF the little city of Canton were filled
this morning with waving plumes,
prancing horses and densely packed
bodies of moving men, assembled here
for the procession which is to escort the
remains of the late president from the
church to the Westlawn cemetery this
afternoon. All night and morning civic,
military, fraternal, social and commercial
organizations had been pouring in. SO
fast the trains arrived that there APP
peared to be one continuous string of
cars unloading their human freight
through the station into the congested
streets beyond. Thirty special trains, in
addition to the regular trains, had ar
rived before noon. The biggest crowd
in the history of Canton, which was here
during the campaign of 1896, estimated
at over 10000, was exceeded today.

of gold from the west saved this
republic and made possible d united

ing FRUIT and Pastures.
General rains fell throughout the

Sunday. Saturday was the twenty
fifth successive day in wh ich the max
imum temperature had ranged from
100 degrees up.
The fall was heaviest between Kan
sas City and Maple HDl, Kan, west
of Kansas City In some places
in the eastern half of Kansas the fall
measured two and one half inches.
Good rains are also reported along the
Memphis railroad as far south as Ar

sippi river.
II is believed the rain will be of but
little benefit to corn. However, with
the most fav orabe conditions from now
until the end of the season, late corn.
it is thought, will make a third of a
crop. The raj as will be of great ben
eft to pastures, forage crops and fruit,
and the belief is expressed that Kansas
may yet have enough hay to feed stock
during the coming winter.
The farmers of the state have begun
replanting their vegetables, and will
plant immense quantities of turnips,
kaffir corn and sorghum for forage.
The ground is in excellent condition
for these products now, and plenty of
rough feed for the coming winter is
assured.

win Mahon Of Pennsylvania; treasurer,

The committee on permanent or
ganization recommended Bradford 7
Prince for reelection for president but
the congress turned the recommenda-
ton down for the reason that Governor
Prince was suspected of desiring to hold
the position in order to be in line for
the position of secretary of mining If
the place shall be established by con-
gress. This was freely talked of among
the delegates and is unquestionably
mainly responsible for his defeat The
vote was 6s for Shaffner to Al for

adopted:
Whereas, The primary and most
important purpose of this congress is
to inaugurate movement that will
ultimately result in the establishment
by the national government of bureau
or department of mining, and
Whereas, In order to accomplish
that purpose it will be necessary to
bring before the people of the United

such information upon that question
as will convince them of the great i'm.
portance Of the movement.
Whereas, In order to successfully
disse this information, subo rdi-

Kansas Towns Suffer for Drinking Water

for the fact that there are many thou
sands Of bushels of last years corn in

men would be serious. At the best, it
is not at all encouraging.
Now that the corn crop is entirely
blasted, the people of the state have
stopped considering that part of the
drought situation, but are devotng
their attention to obtaining water TO
drink. Some towns are in serious
straits. Streams, ponds and wells are
going dry, and it is hard to imagine
what the people of many localities will
do for water in case rain does not come
in a very short time.
