eral feeling that the hours were wellll
spent. The resolutions were as follows:
'Resolved-
That we, the citizens of Bellefon-
|taine, assembled in Union meeting,
express our great sorrow and humili-.'
Iation at the death of our beloved Pres-s
Eident, VIM. Mckinley, who has been
murdered by the hand of cruel and
brutal assassin.
That the career of William McKin-,'
Hey as soldier, patriot, and statesman
his high Christian character, and his
beautiful home life, have endeared him,
to the people, and exalted him in the
eyes of all the world as one of its great
est characters; and that the nobility of
his surrender to the great enemy,
Death, and his submission to the mys-
terious Providence of the God he loved,
completed a nob.e character that in
every point is worthy of emulation by
lall.
a That in this hour of gloom and crush
ksng sorrow we extend our tenderest, sim
kcerest sympathies to the wife of his love,
who is stricken, smitten and lonely,
Eand bereft of the tenderest love and that
Emost beautiful devotion which charac-
Eterized the life of her husband, as we'll
lin the exalted life of the White House
as in the humble home at Canton.
3 That the assassination of three o.
our Presidents, calls for prompt actor
at the hands of Congress for the pro
Etection of those whom we choose to be
our chief rulers, and to save the goo6
& ma me of our country from reproach in
kthe eyes of the world.
That the trial of the assassin who
took the life of our President should
be as swift as possible only long
enough to secure justice--and tha
frivolous delays would be trifiing will
the most sacred feelings of the people
That we condemn auarchism as fos.
Etering lawlessness, murder, and tn,
fdestruction of all Government; that i
is the antagonist of all that is good
THAT it would destroy all safeguards o
society and overthrow all liberty, and
that it's teachings should be suppress
fed by stringent laws. Anarchy an,
Sliberty cannot exist in the same land
anarchists and law abiding citizen
sxcannot live under the same Govern
Il fment. The man who claims it is hi
eSduty to put the knife to the throat G
sall rulers, is an enemy to mankind, an
should be driven out of society to dwel
7 with the beasts of the Jungle. We de
Emand that our laws shall make it i'm
&possible for the anarchist to dwell il
Sour country.

velt, on behalf OF the members of the
5Cabinet Of the late President, to take
the prescribed oath. There was not q
3dry eye in the room.
The new President was visibly

Opposed to Having Body Guards

When President Roosevelt left his
abode with Secretary Root, to visit
Mrs. Mckinley and look upon the
Presidents remains, couple of detec-
tives and a couple of police started to
follow him. The President told the
Secretary he did not desire any guards
that he did not want to establish the
precedent of going about guarded, and
they were sent back. But the police
while remaining at a respectful dis
tance, kept within sight and reach o.
him.

DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL
VERDICT OF CORONER'S JURY IN
THE CASE OF EMMELINE DALE.
Evidence Introduced to Show the
Child Ate Strychnine Tablets,
Thinking They Were Candy.

NEW YORK Dec. 9-The coroner's in
quiry into the death of Emmeline Dale, the
child of Elizabeth Howe Dale, was held in
Hoboken tonight and resulted in a verdict
of accidental death from poisoning. Ten
witnesses in all were heard at the inquest.
The most important ones were DR.. Kud-
Itch, the attending physician, County Ply
sician Converse and F. S. Billings of Bos-
ton. Much of the testimony was relative
to points already made public. DR.. Kud-
Itch told Of the child's symptoms and said
they were undoubtedly those following
strychnine poisoning. DR.. Converse read
the report on the analysis of the contents
of the child's stomach. This analysis had
been made by DR.. Otto II. Schultz, and told
of the finding of traces of strychnine.
The witness who cleared Mrs. Dale was
Mr. Billings, a commercial traveller. He
occupied a room adjoining Mrs. Dale's at
related how he had heard the means and
screams of a child in the next room.
Shortly afterward he heard a woman 5
voice inQuiring sleepily:
''Emmeline, what's the matter; have you
had a bad dream?"
The child grew quiet. Soon afterward
ii began to scream again, and the woman
then seemed TO get excited, and Billings
heard her ask the child
did you eat any of those tablets?"
The child finally said: Il ate some of
that candy
The jury at once found that Emmeline
died after having accidentally eaten
strychnine tablets. Mrs. Dale was not
present at the inquest, not being able TO
leave the hospital.
Mrs. Dale's attorneys said they would at
once ask for the release of Mrs. Dale on
bail, pending the action of the grand jury
in the matter.
