VIII Involve Mighty Changes.
Washington, Sept. 15.-The death of
President Mckinley and the succes-
sion of Theodore Roosevelt will in
volve mighty changes in the political
situation. Every one of Mr.. McKin-
ley's chief appointees at home and
abroad will resign. This will include
not only his cabinet and minor heads
of departments in the United States,
but the ambassadors, ministers, con-
sui generals and all other prominent
officials who have been assigned to
duty abroad. The vast patronage
that will stand at the disposal of the
new president and the stupendous
amount of power that it will involve
is apparent. Wisely distributed, this
power could make him the next pres
idential nominee beyond peradventure
of a doubt.
Extra Session of Congress Improbable.
Washington, Sept. 16.-It is not
believed here that President Roose-
welt will find it eXpedient or necessary
to summon congress to meet in spe-
cial session. There is only very
meager sprinkling of senators and
members of the house of representa-
tives in Washington, but those here
generally hold the opinion above ex-
pressed. Some even go to the extent
of predicting that there will not be
an extraordinary session of the SEN
ate, although on this point there is
difference of opinion. The matter is
entirIy optional with the new presi-
dent.
No designations Until After Fun rail-
Washington, Sept. 15.-Secretaries
Hay and Gage held conference at
the conclusion of which it was stated
that in all probability the members
of the cabinet would not tender their
designations until after the presi-
dents funeral.

DOCTORS IN TIE DARK.
The Autopsy on the Dead President Shows
That the Bullet Caused More Damage
Than They Supposed.

Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. 16-President
Mckinley never had one chance to
recover from the assassin's bullet, &C
cording to the widespread report of
the autopsy held Saturday afternoon.
One discovery was that the ball
struck the pancreas, a gland common
~ called the ''sweetbread.'' The
president died of ''toxemia caused by
necrosis of the tissues That is an
other way of saying that gangrene
killed him. This could not have been
prevented, the doctors say, by any
surgical or medical treatment. Some
of the doctors, notably DR.. Wasdin,
are inclined to believe that President
Mckinley was shot with poisoned bull
let's. This is not proved. But the
president would have died of his
wounds even if the bullets were per-
fectly clean. His system did not pos
sess the vitality to repair the damage
done to his vital organs.
When the president was shot he re-
ceived the best surgical attention at
the earliest possible moment. After
the surgeons exhausted all the
sources of their science they had to
depend upon nature coming to their
assistance and nature failed them.
The complications which followed the
mending of the presidents wounds
were, the doctors confess, fully be-
yond their ken. The gangrenous af-
lection did not manifest itself in any
way that could be detected by them.
1t brought about those conditions of
the heart and of the intestines which,
during the last two days, showed to
the physicians that something was
wrong, but what it was they never
knew to a certainty until they made
the autopsy Saturday.
Lodgme emit of the second bullet in
the abdominal wall back of the
stomach had nothing to do with the
presidents death. It did all of it's
damage in the abdominal cavity.
That bullet remains a mystery. It
was not located during the presi-
dents life and two hours of careful
search for it after death failed to find
it. The fact that this bullet remained
in the presidents body without set
ting up any discord where it stopped
initiates against the theory that it
might have been poisoned.
The autopsy shows that the bullet
passed through the stomach near its
lower quarter and then entered the
muscles of the backbone behind the
kidneys and aorta. From that spot
surgical skill would have been utterly
powerless to extract it if it had been.
discovered. On its way the bullet
tore away the suprarenal capsul and
pierced the left kidney, destroying
the upper part of that organ. When
the gangrene also affected the pan
creas this set free poisons which en-
tered the blood and affected the
heart and this in the end produced
death.

Chicago, Sept. 16.-A startling pos

Lydston, of this city. In comment
ing upon the death of President Nc
Kinley he said that the bullet which
went through the stomach and re-
manned in the body might have been
poisoned. The irritation that pro-
duced the increased pulsations and
temperature could have been caused
by a poisoned lead ball, when all
other conditions favored recovery.

Total. $40 81
Out of this must come smelter
charges IS per ton, wagon haul, "a,
and railway freights, $3.50 per ton,
making a total of $1l.5O. AS the
smelter only paid at the rate of
$40. 81 per ton, there Is a net loss
of 80 cents per ton.
Instead of making profit on his
shipment, therefore, the mine owner
has suffered a loss of SO cents, and
that does not include the cost of
mining.
These deductions made by the
shelters are never ending source
of bitterness between smelter and
mining men. On their face they
appear to be almost holdup. In
deducting 1.5 per cent from the
copper assays the smelter makes a
clear profit Of about $3.50 a ton.
The deduction of 5 per cent from
the gold and the silver is profit
that varies with the richness Of the
ore. In some cases these deductlons
alone are enough to pay big pfotits
for the smelter, with corresponding
loss of dividends for the mine.
Smelter men defend the tolls with
the plea that if they did not get the
tolls they would have to raise their
smelling rates. 1t all am counts to
the same thing in the end, they
say.
This system of payment is prac-
ticed almost everywhere over the
country. There is one conspicuous
exception. That Is the smelter at
Trail, B. G. The low grade ores
Of that camp seldom carry much
more than Ia copper. Therefore
under the old system the mineral
owner would get nothing for the
metal. The War Eagle Center Star
companies have made a contract
with the Trail smelter for 800, 600
tons of ore. The smelter does not
deduct the usual La per cent, but
pays for 20 per cent of the copper.
It pays for it at the New York
quotation, less 81 cents. That con.
tract is a peculiarly advantageous
one.
In paying for the lead ore the
smelter makes a deduction of 10 per
cent from the assay value of the
lead, and pays at the market price
There is the usual deduction of {
per cent for silver and gold. Some
times an ore carries both copper
and lead. 1t is not practical tt
smelt both copper and lead from thu
same ore. One must be lost
Therefore 1t is usual 70 give up thu
metal which is the less valuable
This makes a still further compiled
ton.
The smelter charge is usually
based OH what are called neutra
ores-an ore in which the percent
age of iron and silica is abou
equal. If the iron ID ID excess o.
silica the smelter often pays II
cents for each per cent of excess.

ST. LOUIS FAIR THE GREATEST
Ex-senator Mcbride Tells in New

NEW YORK, June l8.-"The St
Louis exposition Of 1908, in com
memoration Of the Louisiana purchase
is expected to outrival such enter
prises in the past said G. W. Nc
Bride, ex-United States Senator from
Oregon, at the Fifth avenue hotel
The Senator isa member OF the st,
Louis Exposition Commission which
was chosen to represent the interests
Of the United States government at
the fair. He continued:
"What makes me think that the
fair will be unprecedented In many
ways is the enthusiasm with which
the people OF ST. Louis and Of the mid
die West have taken hold of it. There
will be no lack of funds. The govern
ment will furnish 5 millions, the
company 10 millions, and more money

sources. Since the exposition is to
celebrate the Louisiana purchase II
can also be said to celebrate the princi'
pie of expansion, which gives the
enterprise still greater significance. =

INDIANAPOLIS, June l6.- Mrs. Ferry
and her sister, who are popularity be-

much attention in Dubois county
People go miles to see them, and there
are many rumors aiioat about super
natural powers.
For the past month the cattle have
been dying by the wholesale, and the
farmers say 1t is caused by the sister
of Mrs. Ferry, who, they say, has an
intense hatred for all animals. The
sister is a dwarf, less than three feet
in height She is a walking skeleton.
Children are afraid to meet her on the
public highway.
Mrs. Ferry and her sister live in a
little cabin, and neighbors say there is
spring back of the house filled with
snakes and frogs.
Often, the neighbors assert, Mrs.
Ferry and her sister are seen at the
spring playing with the reptiles.
Neighbors shun the spring and believe
it would be death to drink the water.
