GRAND ARMY MEN PARADE.
The Procession at Cleveland Was Five
Hours IN Passing.

Cleveland, Sept. 12.-Notwithstand
ing lowering clouds that constantly
threatened downpour of rain
throughout the morning, the grand
parade of the thirty-fifth national en-
campment of the &. A. Il. was viewed
by almost the entire population of
100000 people of this city, and nearly
doubled by the visitors.
The parade started soon after 10
o'clock and moved for five hours.
Ohio, the last in line, did not start
till long after noon. Before half the
procession had formed the advance
departments had already finished and
disbanded. The thousands of people
in the reviewing stands and on the
grandstands which lined Bond street
in the court of honor saw continu-
Gus parade six or eight miles long
pass. The enthusiasm cannot be por-
trayed in a word picture.
1t was a spontaneous, heartfelt gen.
uine. enthusiastic tribute on the part
of the patriotic and appreciative peo-
pie of the sacrifice made and danger
faced by the patriots who forty years
ago welded the country in renewed
bonds of love and union which have
resulted in the greatest and most
progressive nation the world has
ever known. As the ranks of the vet
Grams passed state by state, depart
ment by department. cheers anu APP
plause were renewed. and the sight
of the tattered battle flags filed the
hearts of the people almost to point
of bursting.

Farmer charged with Forrerv.

Hedrick, Sept. 14.-Stephen Hawk,
young farmer living north of Mar
tinsburg, is in the. Sigourney Jail,
where he is charged with forgery.
The prisoner, it is alleged, borrowed
$3.50 of County Attorney Ashcraft
some time ago, giving note signed
by himself, with Ezra Elijah and
Sarah Hawk as sureties. Mr.. Ash
craft had no reason to doubt the au-
thenticity of the signatures. and the
matter went on for some time until
he attempted to sell the notes to IA
bank in Sigourney. The bank desired
proofs of the signatures before pur-
chasing, and Mr.. Ashcraft went to
the sureties, finding, much to his sur
prise, that they knew nothing of the
note. The arrest followed.

ASSASSIN'S BULLET FATAL
Medical Science Could Not Have
Saved the President.

Milburn House. Buffalo, Sept. 49,
The official announcement of the ply.
sicians as result of their autopsy
on the presidents body that death re,
suited from gangrene of the wounds
led to much discussion of the causes
leading up to this gangrene. 1t de.
veloped that DIR. Wasdin, one of the
consulting physicians, and an cx-
pert of high standing in the marine
hospital service, strongly supported
the view that the murderous bullet
had been poisoned and that this was
one of the moving causes of the gan
grenous condition. The area of this
dead and gangrenous flesh was
source of much surprise to the sur
geons, reaching a circumference
about the size of silver dollar about
the internal wounds. The following
report of the autopsy upon the re-
mains of President Mckinley was is
sued at O'Clock:
The bullet which struck over the
breast bone did not pass through the
skin and did little harm. The other
bullet passed through both walls OF
the stomach near it's lower border.
Both holes were found to be per-
fectly closed by the stitches, but
the tissue around each hole had be-
come gangrenous. After RAISING
through the stomach the bullet pass
ed into the back walls of the abdo-
men, hitting and tearing the upper
end OF the kidney. This portion of
the bullet track was also gangrenous,
the gangrene involving the pancreas.
The bullet has not yet been found.
There was no sign of peritonitis or
disease of other organs. The heart
walls were very thin. There was no
evidence of any attempt at repair on
the part of nature and death result
ed from the gangrene which affected
the stomach around the bullet
wounds as well as the tissues around
the further course of the bullet.
Death was unavoidable by any surgi-
cal or medical treatment and
was the direct result of the bullet
wound.

PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR

Des Moines, Sept. 15.-Governor
Shaw issued proclamation yester-
day morning formally announcing
the death of President Mckinley to
the people of the state and paying
a tribute to the departed chief exc
cutive. 1t follows:
The State of Iowa, by the Governor
"A Proclamation: William Mckin-
ley, president of the United States, is
dead. With profound sorrow / make
the formal announcement of his
death, which occurred at Buffalo, n.
Y, at 2:15 o'clock this morning. Three
times in our history has the hand of
an assassin been successfully raised
against the life of the nations chief
executive. Eighty million Americans
stand appalled, that such deeds of vio-
lence are possible where law is SUI
preme, and where justice according
to law is the cornerstone of liberty.
But, even amid our sorrow and our
shame, there abides this great con-
ISOLATION that the departed leaves a
stricken people the priceless legacy
of a blameless life. As citizen,
William Mckinley was emplary; as
soldier, he was valiant; as a states
man. the peer of the greatest; as
public servant, faithful; as a hus-
band, ideal; as a Christian, COM
mendable; and at all times and under
all circumstances, he was gentle
man. Wherever Christian civilization
exists or shall hereafter be estab-
lished, now and to all time, wives
will recount the devotion of that
husband, and parents tell the story
of that life.
Now, therefore, 7, Leslie NJ. Shaw,
governor of the state of Iowa, do
hereby recommend to the people of
this state that on the day that shall
be set apart for the funeral all secu-
lar pursuits be suspended in order
that a mourning people may unitedly
do honor TO the departed, and at
the same time counsel with them
selves abstinence from such conduct
and teachings as lead to disregard
for the forms of law and disrespect
for those whom they have placed in
authority.
/ further direct that the capitol
be draped in mourning and that flags
be displayed at half mast from all
public buildings until the close of the
day of the funeral.
In testimony whereof, have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the seal of the state of Iowa.
Done at Des Moines, this 14th day
of September, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred
and one.
Leslie NJ. Shaw.

W.B. Martin, Secretary of State.

sages of coincidence to Mrs. McKin-
ley and Secretary Cortelyou, and a
third assuring President Roosevelt

WILL PRESS THE CLAIM.
State VIII Ask for Interest on Bonds of
the Civil War.

the civil War.
Des Lioines, Sept. 16.--Ex-Senator
j. S. Lothrop of Sioux City was in
consultation with Attorney General
Mullan and other state offers in re,
gard to the claim of the state against
the federal government for the in
terest on the war bonds and war war
rants, the principal of which has been
repaid to the state, but the inter-
est on which is regarded as legally
forthcoming.
The collection of this interest has
been agitated for nearly year. Sem
ator Lothrop was the first person to
investigate the matter and bring it
to the attention of the executive
council. He endeavored to obtain
authority from tire executive council
to collect the interest. The council
last spring took the question up, but
the members were in doubt whether
the claim could be collected and re-
tigate and turn it over 20 the at
torney general to collect in case
there was ground for such procedure.
The governor after looking into it
referred it to the attorney general.
Under the code, the governor has also
the authority to employ additional
counsel to assist the attorney gen.
eral in case he deems it necessary.
Under the power thus vested in him
he has requested Senator Lothrop to
assist Attorney General Mullan.
The code is silent on the compen-
sation in such cases and Senator
Lothrop said yesterday If the claim
was collected he would have to rely
on the generosity of the legisla-
ture for any pay he might receive
for his work.
Senator Lothrop was asked what
amount he considered was due the
state. He estimated it at from $780,
600 to 100000. Attorney General
Mullan put the interest at a lower
figure. in the vicinity of $150,000 to
100000. Senator Lothrop began
work yesterday afternoon on secur-
ing official information to incorpor-
ate in the statement he will present
to the treasury department. He is
anxious to secure the records of the
treasurer's and the auditors offices
of the civil war period. Thus far he
has been able to find only the printed
reports for that time. He desires
the original records in order to have
facts at his command that are not
disputable.

and Robbed By Thugs.

and Robbed by Thugs.
Newton, Sept. 13.-Dr. Benjamin
NJ. Failor, one of the oldest practic-
ing physicians of this city, was bru-
tally murdered at midnight while re-
turning from a professional call, at
VIM. Graham's ON Race street. DIR.
Failor was visiting pleasantly with
his daughter, Mrs. Grandstaff, who
with her children came a short time
ago from Burlington for a visit at
home. About IL o'clock a call came
to go to a house near the Rock Is
land deport and it being but few
blocks distant the doctor walked to
the place of his visit. He had COM
pleted his call and had just left the
house when in passing the Jasper
lumber yard, dark and lonely place
at the corner of Race and North
streets, it is supposed he was at
tackled by thugs and sandbagged with
robbery as the motive. The doctor
was discovered in an unconscious con-
dition by passerby about an hour
after the assault and carried into
ID. NJ. Wert's house. 1t was seen that
the doctor had been struck about the
head and over the eyes, the skull be-
ing fractured. His clothing was bad
ly torn and his watch gone. One
pocket of his trousers was torn out.
He was unconscious and could tell
nothing of the assault. He was re-
moved to his home, where he died at
o'clock a. IN. in terrible agony,
there being a hole in his head that
seemed TO cause terrible pain. Drs.
Engle, Smead and Robb, who were
called, are of the opinion that the
doctor was struck with club which,
perhaps, had nail in it. The police
as yet have no clue but several col
ored men have been arrested as sus-
poets. DIR. Failor was 76 years of age
and highly respected, having prac-
ticed here for many years..

STOWE TO SAY SOMETHING.
When Consulship Is Resigned He VIII
Express "a Boer War Opinion.

New York, Sept. Thames G..
Stowe, formerly consul general of
the United States at Cape Town, has
arrived in New York and will go at
once to Washington. He says that
when he has officially given up his
position by reporting to the Wash
ington department, he will have
something to say about the Boer war.
Until then, however, he declines to
talk on the subject.
Mr.. Stowe says when he took the
position at Cape Town four years ago
the trade of the United States in
South Africa was six million dollars.
Now, he says, it is twenty million dol
lars. Commenting, in this connec-
lion, on the smallness of the salary
of the consul general at Cape Town
Mr.. Stowe said:
"In the expansion of American
ideas which mean to extend the field
for American manufacturers, some
thing will have to be done to place
our consular force ON an equitable
financial basis"

Milburn House, Buffal,, Sept. ID
II is definitely learned that it was
Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Mckinley's sister,
who broke the news of her great
loss to the stricken wife. She went
from the bedside of the dead presi-
dent to the wife, whose condition
was such that it seemed best to re-
move her from the sick room before
the end.
Mrs. Mckinley is occupying a large
room in the MilbuTn house over
hooking Delaware avenue and Ferry
street. Through the drawn shades
the early morning light was break
ing when Mrs. Barber told her that
the sleep into which the president
had passed would know no waken-
ing. Mrs. Mckinley, whose extreme
delicacy was for years the presidents
one great sorrow, received the news
with unexpected calmness, and at
once acquiesced in the request of
her physician and family to leave
the details of the sad ceremonies
in which the entire nation is to join
entirely in the hands of the official
and personal friends who are assem-
,bled. All day long she remained
quietly in her room. stricken to the
soul. but brayely bearing her sad
burden. because she knows 1.-THE
major" as she lovingly calls the late
president, would bid her do so.
DIR. Rixcy, who for years has
guarded her from all excitement,
and was in constant attendance dur
her recent illness in San Francisco,
is much encouraged by the way she
is bearing up at present. although
it is quite possible the strain of the
next twenty-four hours may make
ii desirable for her TO return with
her sister to Canton to avoid the
serious strain of state funeral.
