HAS NOT PASSED THE CRISIS
Mrs. Mckinley is Better And There
Are Grounds For Hope.
GOVERNOR NASH DISABLED.

San Francisco, May 20.-The physi-
clans were so favorably impressed
with Mrs. McKinley's condition that
they issued a'bulletin and the reassur-
ing news was posted at all the news
paper officer and was received with
delight by the people
The Joy of the the presidents heart
was reflected in his face, and one look
at his countenance was enough to dis
pei immediate apprehension.
But it must not be assumed by this
that Mrs. Mckinley has passed the
crisis and is out of danger Mrs. Nc
Kinley is seriously i'll, and it will be
at least ls hours before the crisis has
been passed. Her vitality is so low
and she is so weak that change for
the worse would not be unexpected at
any moment, and it is feared that she
would not have enough reserve
strength to weather another sinking
spell. Her mind was clear during her
waking moments today. She asked
for coffee, and also to be permitted to
wash her hands. There was no neces-
sity for the administration of strong
heart stimulants during the day, al
though brandy continues to be given
from time to time. That and beef tea
are practically all the nourishment
she takes.
Much of the program of the launch
ing of the battleship Ohio was curtail-
cd.
Governor Nash of Ohio, remains in
bad plight While he is much better,
his eyes are so swollen from the
poisoned oak which he encountered
during his visit to the big trees at
Santa Cruz that his physicians do not
think it would be wise for him to go
out into the sunlight and open air. His
only danger is in catching cold.
STRIKE At AN END.
Albany, N. Y.-The street railway
strike which has lasted eleven days, is

WILL SELL TO THEMSELVES.
win Operate on tho Board OF Trade as q
Commission Firm.

Salina, KS, May eO.-The state meet
ing of grain growers completed its
organization and applied fora charter
and the association expects to be IN
working order before the marketing
of the growing crop.
The association will have a capital
stock of $4,000, divided into 1000
shares of $40 each. The purpose for
which it is formed is to buy and sell
on commission, or otherwise, all kinds
of grain, live stock and other farm
products, and also to act as agent for
any person or company and to estGb-
lish and maintain offices, yards and
elevators for the safckeepIng, selling
and distribution of such produce. The
Headquarters of the association will be
at Topeka, with subordinate offices at
such other places in the United States
as the board of directors may designate.
The company will probably do
commission business in Kansas City,
and build an elevator there. 1t is the
intention to operate on the board OF
trade and do grain business the same
as any other commission firm. The
farmers will sell to their own company
and the profits will return to the pro-
Queer instead of going into the hands
the grain combine.
