absolutely free from faint On mat

Coming when it did. the death Of
President Mckinley is particularly un-
fortunate. He had developed broad
craftsmanship that was manifested by
a breaking away from mere political
environments and an evident purpose
to place the interests OF the country
paramount to all other considerations
His last public uttemnces were on a
lofty plane; he spoke for his country
and for her advancement on the endur-
ing ines of public prosperity and the
respect and confidence of the world

to imprisonment for three years. He is

reputation. and when all attempts to
save him from Imprisonment failed eff
forts We're IT once put forth to have him
paroled. The board of pardons took up
his case few weeks ago, and agreed
upon favorable action. The young man
was to have been set at liberty on July
:, but when called before the board it
was found he had a chew of tobacco in
his mouth. and the board held up Its de-
c,sion. AS it will not meet again until
fall, McCaughey will have to remain in
durance at least until that time.
