DEATH RECORD OF THE DAY
Pioneer Vessel Owner.

Milwaukee, Sept. 10.-John B. Mer-
rill, who gained a wide reputation
throughout the lakes region from a
lifelong connection with marine inter
ests, died yesterday at his home, 626
Aston street. He was 76 years of age.
Mr.. Merrill was born in Adams, JEFF
ferson county, n. Y, Dec. II, 1925.
He was of New England parentage,
being a direct descendant of Nathan
iel Merrill, who came from England
to America in 1884. At the age of u
he came to Milwaukee with his par
ents, in 1887. When he reached
young manhood he entered a shipyard
of which his father was part owner
and learned the ship carp enter s
trade. Mr.. Merrill became interested
in lake commerce and shipping in 1883
or 1864. In later years, when steam
craft made their appearance on the
lakes, Mr.. Merrill and his associat IS
transferred their interests in sailing
vessels to a line Of grain-carryi lg
steamers. He was a lifelong men.

Joseph Redfern, who occupied the
chair, held that the vote on the CUES
ton of returning to work might be
taken by secret ballot. This incensed
the radicals, who wanted an open
ballot, and they tried to close the
gathering with a motion to adjourn.
President Redfern held that he
was acting under the constitution in
calling for secret ballot. The secret
ballot, he said, was the method pre-
scribed by the constitution in settling
questions of the kind. An appeal was
taken from his decision, but though
the president waited for the appeal
to be put by Vice President James,
the latter did not put it, and the pres
ident theTeupon proceeded with the
order of business. At this juncture
large body of the men retired from
the hall, amidst much excitement. and
the vote then taken by the remaining
members was for return to work

WILL NOT CALL
CAMPAIGN OFF

Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 10.-Reply-
ing to the proposition of the demo-
cratic state committee to abandon
public speaking during the campaign
out of consideration for the presi-
dents condition, the republican COM
mittee declines to acquiesce and gives
reasons at considerable length. In
concluding it says:
president Mckinley may not sur
vive, but the principles for which he
stood will live and triumph if we in
the discharge of our duty as citizens
meet every requirement with the same
patriotism and devotion to principles
that have characterized the life of
William Mckinley.
I'VE believe it to be our highest
duty to the country and to the presi-
dent and the course which would COM
mend itself to his best judgment, to
go forward in the maintenance of the
doctrines dear to him and SO import
ant to the welfare Of the people and
progress of the country"

ON
THE GREAT CRIME

Louisville, Sept. 10.-"No threat of
imperialism in this country can com
pare with that condition which would
make it necessary always to hedge
about our highest officials with mill
tary protection. But if systematic
murder is allowed to stalk unreproved
over our land we shall reach a period
when armed guards must surround
every official and even be stationed in
our courts of Justice
These words were the keynote of
the resolutions adopted last night at
the meeting of 1000 citizens. The
demand was made for vigorous laws
against anarchists and deepest sym
pathy was expressed for the presi-
dent. Speeches were made by
R. w. Knott. editor of the
Evening Post; Rev. E. T..
Powell, Judge A. P. Humphrey, Rev.
DR.. j. G.. Minnegerode, Henry Waiter
son, editor of the Courier-Journal, and
others.
Mr. Watterson referring to the at
tempt on the life of the president
said: What must the world of feud-
alism, of monarchism, of despotism.
think Of it? If the hand that struck
down that emperor of Russia who had
given freedom to the serf was the
same hand that struck down that
American president who had giv,,,
freedom to the slaves, shall it be said
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1901-09-12

there was anything more sane or logi-
cal in the hand that struck down Gar
field and Carnot and Mckinley? It
must be, can only be insanity, born of
something radically wrong in modern
ethics, to be punished indeed-and
punished with death-but to be extir-
pated, if eXtirpated at all, by methods
more far-reaching than the halter and
axe"
After saying that if Mckinley dies
now, ''he goes as Lincoln went, glor-
ious sacrifice to glorious cause
Watterson asked, What them" and
concluded: eve must meet the
bloodstained hands Of anarchism not
merely with cleaner hands, but with a
purer public spirit, if not a deeper
philosophy. We must disseminate
the lesson that government exists not
for the private gain of any, nor for the
cure of any private grief but for JUS
tice, the citadel and beethoven of pub
lie peace and order. All Of us this
night are Mckinley men. We pray
this night that God will spare his life
Frankfort People, Too.
Frankfort, Sept. 10.-The people of
Kentucky's capitol last night forgot
political strife and came together in a
big meeting in which the attempted as
sassination of the president was de-
nOunced in severe terms and congress
was asked to legislate anarchists out
of the country.

is violation Of the laws of God and
those of our church. AS loyal Amer
leans we deplore the crime, discerning
in it the tendencies of a rebellious
and anarchistic movement, striving to
overthrow the cardinal principles that
underlie our constitution, from which
emanates the political power of the
United States, constituting the found
alton of the welfare, freedom and high
culture of the American people.
I'VE grieve the more over the crime
because the culprit claims to be of
Polish extraction, especially when it
is an uncontrovertable fact that no.
where on the pages of the history of
Poland, before as well as after its
| dismemberment, can be found a single
name of an assassin who had shed one
drop of blood of the ruler of any ma
ton. The Poles spared the lives of
even their present tyrants and have
nothing in common with the rebellious
anarchistic parties of Europe. There
fore, much less do we as Poles and
Roman Catholics associate with them
here on the free soil of Washington.
please to accept our assurances
that the crime perpetrated at Buffalo
upon the person of his excellency
President Mckinley, has aroused in
our hearts similar feelings of grief
sorrow and adherence as in those OF
other parties loyal to the stars and
stripes"
The telegram sent by the Catholic
union was as follows:
THE Polish Roman Catholic union
of the United States deplores sincere
ly and profoundly the dastardIy at
tempt to assassinate our beloved Pres
ident Mckinley. We pray that the
Almighty may spare his life. Kindly
extend our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs
Mckinley in her hour of sorrow"

HOPE ALMOST
CONVICTION
That President Mckinley
Will Now Recover
Distinguished Patient Max
ing Gallant Fight
Every Indication Now Most
Favorable to Him

| Il am absolutc.y confident every
thing will turn out all right" de
clared the vice president, and he sait
he based his confidence on informa
ton behind the public expressions d
! the physicians. So relieved are Sec
rotary Ga -! and Attorney Genera
Knox that they returned to Washing
ton last night feeling seemingly that
! their chief would recover, but with the
assurance of the physicians that if 3
| change for the worse should come ii
| would be gradual and that they would
! have ample time to return. Roosevelt
hsaid last night:
! II came here because I believed my
place was near the president and
will not leave until the situation is III
tfrely cleared up. If l was predicting
when I shall leave here l would say
tomorrow because | firmly believe
that the physicians will announce To-
morrow that there is absolutely no
doubt that the president will re-
cover"
DR.. RiXey, one of the presidents at
tending physicians and also private
physician of President and Mrs. Nc
Kinley, said last night:
II am not a specialist in abdominal
surgery, but from a general knowledge
OF gunshot wounds l can say the only
possibility of complication was by
blood poisoning or peritonitis and |
consider both now very remote prob
ability. I see no reason why the pres
ident will not recover rapidly"
Yesterday he asked for a morning
paper but this had to be denied him
1t is with some difficulty that he can
be restrained from talking He has
spoken at intervals of several things
he proposes to do in the future. Mrs.
Mckinley saw him again yesterday
for a brief visit and Secretary Cortel-
you was admitted for the first time.
No one else was allowed to see him
although he inquired several times
who were below stairs. He was
given nourishment yesterday in the
form Of eggs beaten in milk. If he
continues to improve it will be grad
ually. If he should grow worse the
change in that direction will also
probably be slow. This is the opinion
of DR.. Mann. There will be no crisis.
Gloom Gives Way to Joy.
Buffalo, Sept. 10.-After the $50 p.
m. bulletin had been issued there
were many indications that the bulle-
tins were but meager indications of
the real improvement of the distin-
guished patient. At 9:45 Miss McKin-
ley, sister of the president, DR.. and
Mrs. Baer, the latter a niece, and
Misses Barber, also nieces, returned
to their homes. Abner Mckinley ac-
companied them to the station and to
the Associated Press said:
Nearest relatives of the president
are so confident of his recovery that
they have no hesitation in leaving"
BY 1920 o'clock the entire temper
of everybody about the Milburn resi-
dence seemed to have undergone a
radical change. The police did not
stop wagons from going by the
