HOMEWARD BOUND.
Presidential Party Left San Fran
cisco Saturday for Washington.
Great Crowds Gathered at the Oakland
FERRY" to Wish the Guests a Hearty God
speed-TImely Rain Made Trip
Across Nevada Pleasant

San Francisco, May 26.-President
MCKINLEY, accompanied by his wife
and members of his cabinet, started
1nC Washington at ten a. m. Saturday
Mrs. Mckinley enjoyed a refreshing
nights rest and seemed eleated at
the prospect of soon being at home
She was conveyed from the Scott res
ldence to the Oakland ferry in a
closed carriage over a circuitous
route, which was chosen so that the
Invalid might pass over only smooth
paved streets. An immense crowd
was assembled at the ferry depot of
the Southern Pacific.
Heads were uncovered as the car
riage in which Mrs. Mckinley rode
approached and there was visible
effort to restrain an outburst of APP
plause as the carriage with drawn cur
tains drove slowly through the
tbrong. All respected the frail con-
dition of the sufferer and the enthu-
siasm was suppressed. There were
no formal ceremonies at the depot.
Goodbys were exchanged by the pres
ldent, cabinet members and others
of the party with the friends who had
come to wish them godspeed and the
distinguished travellers boarded the
ferryboat Oakland, which made a spe-
cial trip for their Accommodate
The carriage containing Mrs. McKin-
ley was driven on to the lower deck
of the boat and the curtains partly
raised SO that she might obtain a
glimpse of the bay and Golden Gate.
As the steamer drew out of the slip
hats and handkerchiefs were waved
and as it swung clear into the stream
the shipping in the harbor dipped
their colors in salute. Tumultuous
cheers then broke forth on shore and
were borne across the waters as San
Francisco's final farewell to President
Mckinley, his wife and the aecompa-
nying members of his official family.
Crossing the Nevada Desert.
Ogden, Utah, May 27.-The presi-
dental train traversed the state of
Nevada yesterday and reached Ogden
at $3.50 o'clock last night. The route
lay along the Humboldt river, through
the Ruby and Wasatch mountains,
and then descended into the Salt Lake
basin. During most of the day the
elevation exceeded 5000 feet and
snOw-clad peaks were continually in
sight from the car windows. At this
season of the year the ride across
Nevada is exceedingly disagreeable.
The heat is oppressive and the dust
from the desert is frequently blind
ing. Fortunately for Mrs. Mckinley
one of those heavy transforms which
so rarely visit this region swept COM
pletely over the state Saturday night,
laying the dust and tempering the at
mosphere. 1t rained also several
times during yesterday. The weather
seemed almost like a special interven-
ton of Providence for the benefit of
the gentle sufferer.

CREEK TREATY PASSED.
Great Rejoicing in the Indian Territory, as
1t Means the Commercial Develop
ment of Rich Country.

Okmulgee, I. T., May 24.-The Creek
treaty passed the house of kings
Thursday morning by a vote of % to
II, and is now ready for the signature
of the chief secretary, when it will
become a law. The passage of the
treaty marks one of the most impor-
tant epochs in the history of the ter
ritOry, removing as it does the uncer-
tainty that has made waiting capital
timid. The town is wild with enthusi-
asm over the final passage of the
treaty. The passage of the treaty
means the development of one of the
greatest commercial and resourceful
countries of the southwest and the first
step toward the winding up of the
much complicated conditions that have
existed for years.

SATISFIED WITH RESULTS.
The National President of the Women-s
Christian temperance Union Talks
About Abolition of the Canteen.

Chicago, May 25.-'.If army officers
would only present statistics show
ing the amount of disorder In military
posts while the canteen was open as
carefully as they have shown up
those disorders since the abolition of
the canteen their reports would lose
much of their impressiveness. This
was the conclusion expressed last
night by Mrs. Lillian NJ. NJ. Stevens,
national president of the Women's
Christian Temperance union, who has
returned to Evanston after a tour
through the south. "The Women's
Christian Temperance union has
made Investigations at several army
posts with the results of the abolition
of the canteen. We believe that drunk
enness in the army has been on the
decrease since the canteen was done
away with, and that its abolition has
tended toward the higher morality
of the soldiers

Father and Brother.

brother-in-law, J. K. Beckham, Jr., at
the home-of the latter, 351O East
Tenth street. He was made to strip
himself down to the waist line and the
whips were vigorously piled until his
body was dashed in so or more places.
According to the story of DR.. Goodman.
both father and son piled the lash,
and when they had finished warned
him not to tell of it on pain of death.
The flashing was the result of the
marriage of DR.. Goodman and Miss
Mary Z. Beckham on March IA and
his alleged treatment of his wife.
Their courtship had been conducted
clandestinely, Mr.. Beckham having re-
fused the doctor admission to his
house. The marriage took place one
day when the girls father was out of
town and without his consent. After
living with her husband two months
Mrs. Goodman left him yesterday. The
senior Beckham was until recently a
wholesale grocer and has property
valued at 100000.

democrat he (Tillman) was not. The
junior senator, in reply, tainted Till
man with not having offered to re-
sign if he were elected. At this Till
man sprang up and declared he would
resign on the spot if McLaurin would
do SO.
"That suits me-" replied McLaurin.
''Draw up the papers," said Till
man, land we will sign now
McLaurin agreed. designations
We're signed to take place November
Is next, Senator McLaurin being I'M
able to stand a summer campaign.
This leaves the two offices open to all
candidates without reserve. The
designations were mailed Saturday

They were two handsome old la

''That's right. To do anything
faster than mustard meant fits OF
palpitation OF the heart. Dear me!
I don't suppose that there is one OF
those children out there could skip
mustard without having a sick
spell. We certainly go backward with
each generation, Sue. Let's take a
look at them.''

there was Margaret flying up and

daughter, who was breathing easy
