Mrs. Mckinley Not Informed.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept 9.-Mrs. Nc
Kinley has not been told all the facts
as to the Presidents condition. She
is herself in such weakened condition
physically that it was thought unwise
to tell her tina: the President has been
shot. She believes merely that he was
injured in an accident at the Exposi-
tion grounds and must have rest and
quiet.
DR.. McBurney, the celebrated New
York surgeon, examined the patient
yesterday and said there was not one
single unfavorable symptom. He
also said the promptness in operating
on the President after the shooting in
all propaoility saved his life.
The Presidents Strength.
The impression that President Nc
Kinley is strong physically is said to
be mistake. He has not recovered
from last winter attack of the grippe.
He was a much sicker man than the
public was aware of.

the stricken Chief Magistrate of the
Nation lies battling for life was re-
assuring, and tonight the chances of
his recovery are so greatly improved
that all of those who have kept the
patient vigil at his bedside feel strongly
that his life will be spared.
The developments of last night and
to-day were dreaded, but hour after
hour passed and the distinguished pa
tient, struggling there beneath the
watchful eyes of physicians and trained
nurses, showed not an unfavorable
symptom. Five times during the day
the eminent doctors and surgeons
assembled for consultation. and each
time the verdict was unanimous that
what change had occurred was for the
better
| Not the slightest premonitOry
symptom of peritonitis appeared. and
the fresh hope born with the morning
grew stronger and stronger as the day
advanced. until toward evening the
confidence expressed in the President
recovery seemed too sanguine.

THE SECRET LET OUT

Representative Spainhour Of
Burke In an interview after the &C.
quittal Of the Judges, said:
st was the almost universal
opinion Of the Democratic party
last year that 1t was necessary for
the Legislature to stand guard over
the Constitutional amendment to
prevent the Supreme court from
interfering with it. The general
opinion then was that they would
destroy 1t II they had an opportu-
atty to do 30, and that is my opinion
still"
Now, you have the whole secret civ

order that the highest court of the

A Lady School Teacher Saves Thrice
from Drowning.

from Drowning.
Omaha, April s.-A special from
Harrison, Neb., says an extraordin-
incident of the White River floods
developed here this morning when
Miss Lizzie Cottman saved thirteen
children from drowning. Incident
ally it may be mentioned that the
daring woman also saved school
house No. 10 for the Sioux county
taxpayers. The building. a small
wooden affair, Occupied small glade
one hundred yards from the banks
of the White river. The stream
has in the past few days reached the
proportions of a torrent because of
the melting snow and rain. Gradu-
ally the water backed into the ravine,
and this morning when Miss Cott-
man arrived the school-ehildren
were making merry in the building,
which was nealy surrounded by
water. An hour later Miss Cott-
man was frightened by hearing the
water passing under the house with
a roaring sound, which gradually
increased. The land was twenty
feet away, and the water there was
deep. She struggled through to dry
land. Then she grabbed a horse
which one of the children had rid
den to school. From a stable she
took rope, and, leading the horse
back, plunged again into the torrent.
The rope she fastened around the
horae's neck, and the other end she
made fast to the door jamb of the
building. BY this time the build
ing was floating and ready to drift
into the food It required despe-
rate work to swim the hOrse back
to the shore, and Miss Cottman was
forced to hold its head above the
water to keep it from drowning.
The animal dragged the building
close TO shore and it was tied to q
tree and the children sent home.

When q legislature comes into

act in the most revolutionary man
ner it should deserve to be called .

ABOUT THE COTTON ACREAGE.

The sudden decline In the price
of cotton should have the effect Of
compelling . large rec uction In the
acreage of the hee cy staple. II this
is not very generally done through
out the cotton belt 1t 10 certain that
the price will be lower next fall.
Il Is far better to cultivate and
fertilize very thoroughly reduced
acreage, because better results are
attained In every way; the price
will be higher, the land will be left
In better condition and less labor
will be required.
These are three items that enter
largely into consideration and
should not be disregarded.
In writing these suggestions ss
to the curtailment of the cotton
acreage, we are prompted solely by
the desire to subserve the best In.
terests of our farming population
and we trust that they will give
this matter earnest consideration
for 1t Ia one OF the highest import
ance to them.
1t is better to receive ten cents
for an eight million bale crop thar
six cents for an eleven million crop
With the reduction of the cottor
acreage there should follow q
diversefcation Of crops.
In this way the lands will b,
improved and there Is greater
certainty Of realizing profits as {
