1t was a minute or so after z o'clock
when the first bulletin was issued. al
though the bulletin itself was dated at
$40 o'clock It was signed by Doctors
Park and Rixey, who had divided the
night watch. and its tone of hopeful
ness was the most decided of any given
out since the president was shot. There
was a confident ring about the phrase
'.the president has passed the most
comfortable night since the attack on
his life"
That sent those who read it on their
way rejoicing in the almost firm con-
victiOn that the recovery of the dis
tinguished patient was now almost alb
solutely assured
At 7.30 an automobile drove up. and
from it alighted Secretary of State
Hay. He walked up from the corner
toward the house, when he was met by
one of the secret service men, He
asked if the people We're up yet and
being told that nobody had yet come
from their rooms he decided not to ask
admission He was shown the early
morning bulletin. and said when he
had read it.
Good: the country will rejoice"

member of the cabinet who has not
been here since the shooting.
About 8 o'clock the doctors who had
not been with the president during the
night began putting in an appearance

those who had been in the sick room
during the night came from the house
for a short period of relaxation. While
the doctors remained inside there were
no signs Of animation about the house
and there was a long wait for the re-
suits Of their deliberations.
The weather conditions of today were
anything but cheerful during the early
hours and the duh skies and drizzling
rain gave an outward appearance of
gloom and depression. The forecast
was for showers and an east wind, but

NIilburn House, Buffalo. Sept 10
Again what may be termed a crisis
night the fourth since the dastardly at
tempt on the life of President McKin-
ley, has passed without a single synp-
tom unfavOrable to the presidents re
covery. In fact. the tone of the first
bulletin this morning was most care
fully worded rejoicing that the dis
tinguished patient had been more com
Portable during the night than during
any previous period since he was
wounded. Both pulse and temperature
are a trifle higher than yesterday
morning. but so little to cause no
worry. and in fact to give encourage
ment by the slightness of the change Of
condition. Between a. m and ESQ a.
m. there was not a sign of life about
the A1ilburn mansion, except that at
3.15 DR. Park. VINO mad been one OF the
night watchers. left the house to go to
his room. At rare intervals the watch
ers on the corner opposite would see
the light in the presidents room bright
en- a little as the attendants did some
thing for the patients comfort.
At o'clock a gentle rain began fall
Ing, making 1T unpleasant for the news
paper watchers and the guards. The
civic and military authorities had pro-
vided shelter, a big election booth and
several tents forming a fairly comfort
able retreat from which the front of the
AIIburn house could be kept under OBJ
servatiOn-
At o'clock. the hour at which the
first bulletin had been issued on other
mornings, there was no sign of life
about the house except the slowly NOV
ing guards parading the walks, and it
was understood that Secretary Cortel
you had left word that he was not to
be disturbed until z o'clock. another
slight indication that the patient was
doing well.

READY WITH
A RAILROAD
MEASURE
Legislature viii Send First
Bill to Governor Today.
THIRTY-0NE DAYS RECORD
BeIIamy's Fee Bill Is Recon-
mended for Passage.

Guthrie. o. T. Feb 1T has been said
by an unkiad critic that Oklahoma legis-
Iatures were sure to send to the COVER
nor as their first legislative act either
railroad bill or an appropriation bill How
far this saying applies 10 past assem-
blies is a matter Of history. but it viii
prove true Of the present session unless
all signs fail It is true that the coun-
ell the other day refused to declare an
emergency to exist and pass a bin appro-
aung 5000 for pay for the extra clerks
and officers not drawing salaries from
the federal government, but after thirty
one days Of grind not only one, but two
railroad bills are in a fair way to lead
the legal procession to the executive.
These are House Bills Nos y and 10, by
Jones of Oklahoma City, which have
passed the house and have gone the
council route to the engrossing clerks.
They win undoubtedly be taken up at the
morning session Of the council and pass
ed. These measures, however, are not
Of the class designed to let monopolies
ride rough-sh0d over the rights Of the
toiling masses, but are simply two bills
permitting railroad corporations in Okla
homa to sell or lease their properties out
side the territory, and also to acquire
legal title to rights Of way, and depot
grounds beyond the territorial limits.
Council Bill No. 50, by Mr.. Bellamy, an
act to regulate the fees of jurors in
courts Of record. and to provide fees for
witnesses in criminal cases, was also rec
commended for passage.
A communication was received from
the territorial treasurer's office asking
that a. committee be appointed to exam
Inc the books and records Of that Office.
The president named Councillors Duffy,
Todd and Brodbon
Councillor Todd offered a resolution in
viting the press gang to be the guests
of the council on their trip to woodward
to attend the Oklahoma Live Stock as
sociation meeting It was unanimously
adopted
The following bills were introduced:
Council Bill No 1n. by Mr. Clarke an
act amendatory of the present banking
law. and prescribes the amount of capt.
tai stock. to be graded according to the
population of the cities in which the
banks are located.
Council Bill No. 142 by Miller, an act
10 provide for the investigation OF eoun-
ty affairs.

relating to building and loan associations

relating to civil procedure. It provides
the time in which notice must be served

ENID CITIZEN DEAD
william Robb, a Well known OkIahO.
man Passes away


The Enid Wave says: Tarly this morn
ing the startling news of the sudden
death Of Attorney William H Robb
reached the city. 1t seems that Mr..
Robb had been suffering with the grip
for some time and last night coughed a
great deal, In fact, it was a real bad
and laboring cough. This morning Mrs
Robb arose to attend to her household
duties about o'clock. He said to her:
Il guess I viii not go 10 town today
until it warns up a little" These were
the last words the deceased spoke TO any
one About an hour after Mrs Robb
retired from her room a man employed
on the place went into the room to talk
to Mr. Robb in regard to the work about
the farm. Not receiving any answer, he
approached the bed and found his en-
ployer dead.
He reported to Mrs. Robb. but she
would not believe he was dead and i'm
mediately despatched messenger for
DIR. Field. The doctor soon arrived and
found that VIM. H Robb had passed TO
the great beyond. It is the opinion of the
doctors that the violent coughing eaus-
ed the bursting of a blood vessel in the
head, or what is known as heart failure;
more probably the latter. as Mr.. Robb
had had trouble with his heart for years
No arrangements for the funeral had
been made at the Waves press hour as
the family awaits the arrival of the old
est son, James Robb. who lives az King
fisher, who will consult with the fam
lily as to the funeral.
The deceased was about SO years Of age
and leaves a. wife and ten children. four
of them quite small He was married
twice. Six children were born to the
first union and four to the last The
death being so sudden the grief Of Mrs
Robb and the children IS pitiful indeed
The sympathy of the community is with
the sorrowing family today.
