PRESIDENTS DOCTORS
TO HOLD AN AUTOPSY
Trouble From the Start Has Been
With the Action of the Pres
ident's Heart.

With the Action of the Pres
ident's Heart.
MILBURN HOUSE, Buffalo, Sept. 10
1t is aim st certain that an autopsy on
the presidents body will be held, to de-
termine the exact cause of death. This is
the wish of all the surgeons and physi-
clans who were III attendance The pc
culiar action of the presidents heart
was more or less CT puzzle to them all,
and DR.. McBurney expressed the opinion
that to the interest of science as well as
in the interest of the government and the
World, it was desirable that the exact
cause of death be determined. The preSi-
dents heart gave trouble from the be-
ginning, but its erratic action was at first
thought to be due to the shock of the
wound, but when the wound had begun
to progress favorab1y, the heart gave
more trouble and anxiety than ever. It's
action became feeble and finally gave out
altogether.
The presidents death will be attributed
to heart exhaustion, but some of the ply
sicians do not believe that there was or
ganic heart trouble. The theory of at
least one of the physicians is that the
original shock of the first bullet over the
heart had much to do with the trouble
which caused death.

cage, upon being informed of the death
OF President Mckinley and requested to
make some comment upon the latter s
life, said:
1T seems like mockery to attempt to
eulog1ze him. No words can carry from
one mind to another proper understand
ing OF that unique personality. He
nl1nselt must be his best interpreter. His
acts, his utterances, with their inde-
scrloable charm, have made him known
to the American people. Through these
they understand and appreciate him. In
their hearts can be found the love and
the gratitude which his unseIfish. I'M
firing and affectionate devotion to his
country justly inspire If 1 speak of
MIN 1t must be simply and without ex-
aggeratfon. In an active life extending
now over a long period, have met
many men of superior powers and mani
fold graces, but after nearly five years
OF close association with this man and a
constant study of his mental and moral
characteristics, l have come to regard
him in the combined qualities which
make man truly great as the superior
OF all the men l have ever known. In
his death our people are indeed stricken
with the most grevous loss.''

found grief the, news of the death of
President Mckinley. foully assassinated

bers share with their countrymen and
with the family of this noble man whose
spirit has departed. the weight of crush

This is time when thoughts and ex-
pressions of partisanship should be still
ed. The committee, therefore, deems it
fitting that in this season of universal
sorrow, all political activity be suspend
ed. Not contention, but tears should
mark this hour. For this reason it has
been decided to cancel the date of the
Republican campaign opening meeting,
which was to have been held at Della
ware on the 21st of September. For the
present all other formal demonstrations
incident to the conduct of political can
vass will be Abandoned

SOME people are fearlully and won

most vehemently the city and everybody

Farmers Prospect.

The reports from the wheat seems TO
grow ever better. Both the quality and
the yield are surprising, 1t usually tests
from sixty'two to sixty'hye, and the
yield very often runs over twenty five
bushels per acre, From reports brought
to this office, II would seem that the
average must be over twenty. But the
prospect for corn and all summer crops
is bad enough to Offset the satisfaction
farmers get out Of wheat, The corn has
been unusually late this season or It
would be ruined long before this, AS It
is there Is possible chance for the
most Of It II rain comes within the next
few days, Farmers are many of them
also complaining that unless there is rain
immediatclya great shortage Of rough
feed for the stock is threatened. The
pastures must be In very bad condition
now. Some have suggested that unless
rain helps out soon about the only way
to get stock through the winter will be
to SOW largely Of wheat and rye, and SOW
it early for winter pasturage. There is
also much straw in the country that II
will help some. Some Of the farmers
however take very much more san
guine view Of the situation They say
that considerable feed is already made,
and If we have any rain this summer
some kind Of feed can yet be sown and
will make crop. The price Of wheat
seems to be tending down till there may
not be very large margin on the crop
even though the yield is large. Should
wheat go very low, 1t looks as though
taken all together it would not be very
good season for the farmers. Wheat is
now worth only 4S cents on the Hutchin-
son market.
