NO FT. HAYS NORMAL.
School WI Not be 8tart9d on
Reservats0n THIS Year.

Emporia, Aug. President Viii
kinson, in an interview, says:
-s'That no teachers had as yet
been employed and the Board was
in no harry to press matters as 1T
was quite immaterial to them when
the school started, although, of
course the sooner the better for
all concerned. The matter is IN
the Land Office and may be set
tied next month. This. however,
would not leave much time for the
s.sooners" to vacate and have the
buildings repaired, 50 it has been
wisely decided to wait another
wear before starting the school?
i understand that if the
Settlers CLAIMS are allowed the pe0
pie of HAYS wall buy their CLAIMS.
The above appears in the T0pe
ka papers this week and was eX-
pected If the Reservation com
mlttee had insisted on their going
on with their work with the $50
acres they had. put our mechanics
to work, showing their good 1nten
tions, rather than delaying, follow
ing shadow, G giving them to
believe they could get it all, and
they would buy off lhe settlers, we
believe the committee have killed
off the school for this year.
TIE Free Press SAID weeks ago,
and now it has come true:
But the most unfortunate action
of the Committee has been to give
the Regents an idea All or nothing

President Wilkenson's remark:
-'*It was quite Immaterlal to

-"What "a spectacle is this!

They're Sorry Now.

When President Taylor &
the Regents were here they were
asked to confer with the Reserva-
ton homesteaders and arrange a
settlement with them, Schlyer,
Penny & Saum of the committee

and agree on Ii basis Of settlement
for the improvements bat they
have not done so preferring to

Atty, Gen GODDARD passed thro'

But now they no doubt regret
1t for it would have been a big
card with the Sec. of the Interior

IN MEMORY OF

The People Of TaZeWeIl Crowded Meth
OdiSt Church.
IMPRESSIVE MEMORIAL SERVICE.
Tributes Paid to President Mckinley in
Service of Song, Prayer, SCriptural
Readings and Remarks Upon
His Life and Death.

A large sssemblage of the people oi
Tazewell, after brief notice, gathered in
the Methodist church las Thursday morn
ing at II o'clock to participate in a memo
rial to the martyr President. We have
never seen an audience more deeply i'm
pressed with the solemnity of an occas ion,
nor one in which more deep though silent
feeling was displayed. At the same hour
in every city, town and hamlet OF the
United States the people were gathered
together to pay a last tribute of respect to
The memory OF William Mckinley, his
funeral service at the same time being
conducted at Canton.
1t was, so far as the weather was con-
cerned. beautiful day, and in accord with
the beautiful life of the lamented President,
but all the crowd seemed to realize in its
deepest significance the words OF the
poet: "And all the air solemn stiffness
holds"
Rev. ]. S. French, pastor of the Meth
odst church, was in charge and under his
direction the following order OF service
was held:
The choir rendered as voluntary:
"Out Of the Shadow" and then sang,
NEARER my God to Thee" This was
followed by very eloquent and tender
PRAYER by Rev. d. A. Glenn.
Rev. 7. r. Handy then read the nlnetl-
eth psalm and Rev. j. L. Naff read Mat
thew 26, 36.75. The choir then rendered
"Lead Kindly Light" and Mr.. A. Cum
minis sang with marked effect the exquisite
bymn. lone Sweety Solemn Thought" E"
VIM. G.. Pendleton then made brief
talk on the life, work and character of the
great and noble man for whom nation
of seventy.fve millions of people were
mourning.
Miss Louise Pendleton then sang the
sad but beautiful song: Sometime
Wen Understand" This was followed
bv a talk from Mr.. f. l.. Greever, which
abounded in deep feeling and patriotic
thought, as he spoke of the life and char
acter of William Mckinley.
MIR. Cummins then sang, "Ihe Lost
Chord" which was followed by Amer
lea, rendered by the choir.
The benedicton was then pronounced
by Rev. j. n. Harman'

house.
DR.. Mynter then described the period
| of favorable symptoms shown by the pa
tient, his relapse and death.
DR.. Mynter gave the names OF all the
doctors who were associated with him In
the case, and described the result of the
autopsy, saying that it proved, FIRST that
there was no inflammation of the bowels;
second, that there was no injury to the
heart; third, that there was a gunshot
wound in the stomach, and that there was
gangrenous spot back of the stomach as
large as silver dollar.
"What was the cause of death?" asked
MIR. Penny.
1.-THE cause was blood poisoning from
the absorption of poisonous matter caused
by the gangrene. Primarily, it was the
gunshot wound"
Cross examination by MIR. Titus was
directed to the possible presence OF NIL
crCbes in the intestines.
"Have you any idea that there may
have been microbes in the intestlnes OF
the PRESIDENT"
ooh, yes" was the reply, "you have
them, and so have ]"
"Was the pancreas broken?' asked
Judge Titus.
"No."
GLOW could the fluid escape from the
organ if it was not punc!ured?'

rounding it,"

bullet, did this gangrenous substance ex-

eyes, DR.. Gaylord performed it. rhey
tried for four hours to Locate The bullet"
"Why did they stop then?"
"The family of the President would not
allow them to continue any longer, or to
iniure the corpse any more. They would
not permit anything to be removed from
the body for meteorological examination" "
"What was the cause of death?"
"The bullet wound that passed through
both walls of the stomach and lodged In
the muscles of the back"
DR.. Matthew D. Mann, anoth er Of the
physicians who attended President Nc
Kinley. was the next witness. He went
over the ground covered by DR.. Mynter,
and described the operation performed at
the exposition hospital.
"To find the track Of tue bullet, back
of the stomach" DR.. Mann explained,
sit would haye been necessary to remove
the bowels from the abdominal cavity.
The performance of that operation would
probably have resulted fatally, as the
President had already grown very weak as
a result of the first operation"
"Were you present at the autopsy
asked District Attorney Penney.
"Yes."
"Tell us what you found"
Raising the stomach, we found large
cavity, the walls of which showed evidence
of gangrene. In the cavity was quantity
of pancreatic fluid. The tissues surround
ing it covering space as large as silver
dollar, were affected"
"What caused Mr.. McKinley's death!'
asked District Attorney Penney.
"The gunshot wound in the stomach
resulting from the bullet that passed
through both walls of that organ, and
lodged in the muscles of the back"
