PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ISSUES
PROCLAMATION.
THURSDAY NEXT THE DAY
Named to Be Observed By Sorrow
ing People Throughout
the Nation.

Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. IA
President Roosevelt tonight issued
the following proclamation:
BY the President of the United
States.
A proclamation: A terrible be-
reavement has befallen our people.
The president of the United States
has been struck down; the crime COM
mitted was not only against the chief
magistrate, but against every law
abiding and libcrty-loving citizen.
President Mckinley crowned a
life of the largest love for his fellow
men, of the most earnest endeavor
for their welfare, by a death of Chris
tian fortitude; and both the way in
which he lived his life and the way
in which, in the supreme hour of
trial, he met his death, will remain
forever a precious heritage Of our
people.
1t is meet that we as a nation ex-
press our love and reverence for his
life, our deep sorrow for his untime,
ly death.
Now, therefore, l, Theodore Roose-
welt, president of the United States
of America, do appoint Thursday
next, September 10, the day on which
the body of the dead president will
be laid in it's last earthly resting
place; as a day of mourning and
prayer throughout the United States
| earnestly recommend all people to
assemble on that day in their respec-
tive places of divine worship, there
to bow down in submission to the
will of Almighty God, and to pay out
of full hearts their homage of love
and reverence to the great and good
president whose death has .smitten
the nation with bitter grief.
In witness thereof I have h%ereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at City of Washington this
18th day Of September, A. d. 1901.
and of independence of the United
States 1875.
(seaD THEODORE ROOSEVELT,
BY the president,
John Hay, Secretary of State.

School FLAGS Half Mssted.

Toronto, Ont, Sept. 14.-In sym
pathy with the sorrowing nation and
as a tribute to the memory of its
murdered president, whose latest ut
terances breathed good feelings to-
ward Canada and the British Empire,
the public school board gave orders
today that flags should fly at half
mast. In Toronto school history there
is no precedent for this mark of re-
spect and sympathy in the passing
away of a ruler of an alien nation.

American nation of a president SO
justly respected and loved.

MoRcAN's GIFT.

At the annual dinner Of the Alumni Asso.
cation Of Harvard College. President Ello
read a cable message from J p. Morgan. in
which lie promised to pay for the erection of
three Of the five new buildings desired by the
Harvard Medical School.
The three buildings are to be memorial to
], $ Morgan, who began his business career
as a merchant in Boston. and who was mer.
chant IN London when he died. The est,.
mated cost of the three buildings is 81 .ooo,.
600, This makes possible an early realization
oi the dream Harvard had Of combining un.
der one management all the schools of medi.
cine and OF erecting extensive buildings on a
twenty acre plot Of land recently purchased in
LOngwood by some graduates and held with
the intention OF turning it over to the univer-
sity at cost when i, should need the ground
The cost of the entire new medical plant is es.
timnted at s., 900, 900 and when completed it
will he one of the best establishments of it's
kind in the world.

There is an organized plan developing to

reservations as soon as the proclamation Open

that they will test the matter in the courts.
Mr. Hornb .ck, editor of the Minco Minstrel
SAYS:
Whereas and ina>much as the United
States Government proposes to violate the
constitutional law regarding the right Of any
American citizen to take a homestead on any
public domain in the United States, and
"Whereas, If the said land ito I've opened
fer settlement belongs to us all alike, and is
subject to settlement under the homestead
laws Of the United States, then therefore
Here is one man who proposes to abide by
the law enacted by onr fathers, and intends to

of the old steam heating plant of the
Burlington Electric Lighting company.
The compliments refused to accept
the five per cent bonds of the consoli-
dated plants in lieu of their original
six per cent bonds, and entered fore
closure proceedings. Thereupon the
lighting company filed a. claim for
damages, which in time grew from
81 900 to $4,000. The matter was be-
fore Judge Woolson and Judge Shiras
and was finally transferred to Judge
MePherson.' The decision is a sweep
ing victory for the complainants.

DAMAGE NOT KNOWN.
Reports on Condition of Iowa Corn
Are Variable,

ARE VARIABLE.
Des Monies, July 3O.-(SpeciaD-
The period Of unprecedented heat ter
minated on the 9th. and the drouth
was broken by copious and well dis
tributed rains on the night of the 9th
and during the day and night of the
18th. The high temperature register
ed on the ed and 23d broke all prey
ious records over so large portions of
the state. 1t seems marvellous that
any kind of vegetation survived that
protracted period of intense heat The
relief was brought by showers and
much lower temperature, with but lit
tie violence of wind or storm. Follow
ing are some of the heavier amounts
OF rainfall for the week: Forest City,
1854 inches; Osceola, 2.54; Waterloo
1.59; Charles City, 1.S5; Cedar Rapids,
Lac: Maquokets, 100; Marshalltown,
l.21; Ogden, 1.39; Dubuque, 2.O6; Ft.
Dodge, 400; Britt, 3.43.
The. extent of damage to the corn
crop cannot be determined until the eff
fects OF, moisture and moderate tenn
perature are made apparent. The re-
ports were generally mailed on the
9th, before the drouth was broken,
and the estimates as to the amount of
damage are exceedingly variable. as
viewed from different standpoints. Cen
orally it may be said the conditions
have been more favorable in the north
ern than in the southern districts.
Early threshing returns show bet
ter yield and quality of small grain
than had been Anticipated Conditions
are nov more favorable for saving a
portion of the late potato crop; and
the pastures are likely to revive.
