new country. In his younger days Mr.. Mickle
took an active part In all public enterprises.
He built the state road from Owosso to ST

the more active labors of life with only his farm
interests to look after. Nearly twenty years
ago he became blind but still maintained his
own private business. His life companion pre-

those who know Mrs. McKinley's con
diIion best.
Guarded From All Excitement.

AS it is it is only DR.. Rixey's skill
and intimate knowledge of her all
ments which have kept her up. She
is constantly under the influence of
strong tonics and powerful sedatives.
A good deal of the time she sleeps
Nobody who, by any chance, might
let her know the true state of affairs
is permitted to come near her. She
sees nothing whatever in the shape of
"a newspaper. Under these conditions
and with this constant watchfulness
and nursing she has borne up surpris-
ingly well. But even with all the pre-
cautions with which Mrs Mckinley is
still surrounded there is still grave
anxiety for the outcome in her case.
Her life, which long has hung by a
thread. one might say, would hardly
survive the slightest shock in her
present condition.
Illness Would Harm President.
What the effect would be upon him
if the worst-always perilously near
in her case-were to come to Mrs.
Mckinley is something no one likes to
contemplate. How tender is the tie
between them is matter which all
the world knows Her pitiful helpless
ness for years has stirred President
McKinley's affectionate disposition to
the fondest depths. The tenderness
of mother for a child could not be
greater than his has been for his af-
flicted wife.

KEEP IT FROM WIFE
Mrs. Mckinley Does Not Know
Her Husband Was Shot.
ALL PAPERS CAREFULLY EXCLUDED
Physicians in Attendance Think Shock
Might Have Fatal Effect-Was Told
That President Had Met With an
Accident While at Exposition.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. 9.-The quiet
that the physicians have insisted upon
having is almost as necessary for Mrs.
Mckinley as for the President him
self. The unhappy woman has been
kept in an artificial atmosphere of
sedatives and greatly modified state
ments as to the Presidents condition,
which has deadened as far as possible
the effect of the blow to her. Even
to this day she does not know that he
has been shot, still less does she
know that he has been the victim of a
villainous attempt at assassination.
She has been told merely that he was
hurt out at the exposition grounds and
that he needs quiet and careful nurs-
ing to put him all right again. The
woman's condition was such that to
have told her (no matter how guard
edly) the truth of the situation would
have been in all human probability to
end her life long before now.
Suffered Shock on Arrival.
She was in sadly wrecked nervous
condition even before the tragedy

ceivable stupidity within ten feet of

Mrs. Mckinley swooned from the
shock, and from that moment till this
has so suffered from it that she has

added to all this anything like state
ment of the awful thing that has be-
fallen her husband could hardly be
otherwise than fatal, in the opinion of

mer Ottumwa boy, who is now serving

Mr. Patrick Maloney, Ottumwa, Ia.
You will probably be somewhat aston
ished to hear from me in the Flowery
Kingdom. Such is the case, however,
and l am enjoying excellent health.
After the battleship Texas went out
of commission last fall was sent to
China on the battleship Kentucky.
Later l was sent to the Cruiser New
Orleans and from there transferred to
the Monocacy. We first had short
cruise to Japan and then sent back
here, and | have been on the vessel
ever since This vessel is a river gun
boat and she was built in 1865. She
has been on the China station almost
read all about the recent war over
here. 1t is still interesting and l will
tell you something about it. Eight OF
the largest powers on earth were out
here fighting the Chinese. They march
ed into Tien Tsin, which is on the Pei
Ho river and destroyed the city, al,
it's Notifications, took all the guns and
demolished everything the Chinese
government owned. They even des
troyed the imperial mint, and what
silver they could not take away with
them was burned. They also burned
all the buildings and killed all the
Cinnamon, who had been sent from
Taku.
To New Capital.
From Tien Tsin they marched to
Pekin the capital. The allies destroy
ed the gate of the Tartar city, the wall
of the Chinese city, and then marched
into the sacred city, and on into the
temple of heaven, as it is known by
the Chinese, and then into the Emper-
or's palace. They carried off every
thing they could get. and then when
the war was over they made the Chi
nese government pay about $500,000,-
900 to the eight powers.
Might Have Caused Trouble.

Great Quantities of Rice.

STedI SudfIlIleS OF RICe.
The Chinese had rice enough in their
store houses in Tien Tsin to have
fed an army of 100000 men for seven
years and they had arms and ammuni-
ton enough on hands to have kept
that army supplied for seven years
The guns were all Of the latest manu-.
facture having come from Austria
France, Germany and England
From what | can learn there was a
great deal of money made here loot,
ing. The eight powers now have gun
boats here protecting the river and
keeping the railroad in working order.
There is considerable traffic on this
river with Tien Tsin and Peking,
which are both located on the river.
In Bad Condition.
The poor people of China are in q
bad condition. Wages are small. The
villages along the river are very dirty.
The houses are built of mud or vel
low clay and dried in the sun.
Tired of His Work.
I will probably stay here on this
