EXPRESS GRAVE FEARS
cortcIyou and Rixey to Remain at
Canton After Funeral, to Di-
vert Her Mind.

Washington, Sept 1S.-The friends
OF Mrs. Mckinley were seriously
alarmed about here. They spoke with
grave apprehension of the days that
are soon to come.
They dread the approaching days
in the quiet Of her home at Canton,
when her beloved" major will not be
near to comfort her In the reaction
that may follow after the present
shock. 1t was believed that she will
be able to go through the services at
Canton without too great difficulty,
bnt subsequently collapse is greatly
feared.
LAST evening Mrs. Mckinley was
considerably weaker than when at
Buffalo. but continued to bear up with
great fortitude. Yesterday afternoon
she gave vent to her grief more
freely than at any time since the
tragedy. She sobbed and cried for a
long time, and these paroxysms of
grief sapped her strength to quite a
degree. Still, as stated, there is no
present sign OF collapse. DR.. Rixey

Mrs. Mckinley was driven to the sta.

when this section steamed away in

preceded 1t 10 minutes. The observa-

flooded with light Through its cry

SO arranged that even as the train
swept through the night the people
in the country it passed through
might gaze on the sight of the cas-
ket, with a soldier standing grim at

iutlass upon his shoulder, at the foot.
A guard of soldiers and sailors occu-
pied the platforms and between them
at the rear was a mammoth wreath
six feet in diameter of rare orchids
and laurels.
About 10 minutes later the third
section of the train bearing the army
and naval officers sped away, and the
national capital had performed it's
part in the ceremonies.
Baltimore, Sept. 1S.-After clearing
Washington all was darkness. The
train seemed to be running through
a tunnel, so bleak was the night. Now
and then the faces of little mourn

the track, could be seen by the light
from the death chamber as the train
flashed by, and as the little villages
between Washington and Baltimore
were passed the sound Of tolling bells
came family to the heavy-hearted
niOurners aboard.

AS the train came out of the long

A clear drawn bugie call sounded a

the casket while the locomotives
were being shifted. The train, which

Lincoln, Neb., May 2S.-W. j. Bry an
gave out today statement on the resig
nations OF Senators McLaurin and Till
man, which he says he regards as the
political event of last week. Mr.. Bryan
Gays:
at is an honorable course for the SEN
ators to pursue and beneficial to the
state. At present South Carolina virtu-
ally has no voice in the settlement Of
public questions, as the vote OF one sen
ator kills the vote OF the other. Senator
Tillman has just been reelected, and
thus risks the loss of a louger term, but
Senator McLaurin really sacrifices more
because he has less chance to win the
primary"
Mr.. Bryan added that it was hardly
necessary to say that he hoped and ex-
pected to see Senator Tillman win a
sweeping victory, "because he represents
the man, while McLaurin represents the
dollar. 4 he vote will show whether the
plutocratic idea is making any headway

says the Rome correspondent OF the
News, regarding the position of Cath
olics in Cuba and the Philippines. Ac-
cording to autho itative information the
pope sees the necessity of compelling
the monastic orders to adapt themselves
to the situation created by American
occupation.
Cardinal Gibbons made it clear to the
pope that unless they give way, the
American government may expel them
altogether.
"Reports received at the Vatican from
the Philippines are much more serious
than those received from Cuba. The
monks in the Philippines are accused Of
all kinds OF atrocities. 1t IL reported

OIL AND GAS IN QUANTITY.
Evidences of Vast Oil Field in
Mesa County---Sufficient to
Heat and Light this City,

F. w. Smith returned yesterday from
trip through eastern Mesa county,
which was taken for the purpose OF max
ing explorations to locate oil lands,
which he confidently believes exists in
that country.
Mr. Smith returns home full OF en-
thusiasm for that section, as one which
is bound to eventually be large oil
producing section.
He travelled east OF Collbran about
fifteen miles and at that point located
two immense oil springs, which had oil
on the surface OF the water and gas
coming from both, which would ignite
as soon as match was lighted and held
where it could catch the gas issuing
from the crevices.
"All the rock in that section OF the
country" said Mr.. Smith, "is oil rock.
1t can be whitfield just like a piece Of
wood or soapstone and it gives certain
evidence that in ages past it has been
covered with OIL l am as certain, al
most, as l live that oil will be found
there in great quantities.; all that we

W. which has gas issuing from it, with

Illuminating and heating purposes this
city could use now or in the next ten
years to come. understand that this
will doubtless be a startling statement
to some, and there will be many disbe-
LEVERS, but l cannot help believing the
evidence OF my own eyes.
While there l struck a match to one
Of those natural oil wells and it went Oft
like the shot from gun and produced a
flame twenty feet high
"lhis natural oil and gas is found in a
basin covered with traces OF oil bearing
rock and ground. Other men beside my
self can verify what l have told you
about that section"
For years the section in which Mr..
Smith has been making his investiga-
tions has been known to contain oil. 1t
has bubbled up ffom the surface there
for many years. All the indications go
to show that Mr.. Smiths statements are
entirely reliable, and that all the people
of NJ esa county have to do to make this
county rich from the production OF oil
and gas is to have sufficient faith to in.
vest few Of their own dollars and do
their best to induce capital sufficient to
come to the county to make a practical
test.
The topography OF the country is ex-
actly like that OF other sections in which
| oil has been found.
Said Mr.. Smith finally, after being
interviewed by The Sentinel man: IL
only wish others had the faith in that
section that have. l will undertake
to demonstrate to any qualified oil man,
or a man who knows something about a
country where oil and gas might be e1-
pected to be found, that there is oil and
gas in plenty in this section OF the state,
and that it is in Mesa county, and who
ever has the nerve to organize a compa-
ny or secure the assistance OF capital for
the investigation OF these fields will
surely find abundant riches as the result
/ Of his faith"
