The young officer from Ohio, McKin-
: ley, was stationed at Winchester, Va,
where was located a hospital for Con-
federates-wounded prisoners Of war.
In making the rounds one afternoon
with the surgeon of the regiment Ma
jor Mckinley noticed hat the doctor
was on very friendly terms with sever
al of the s%outherners, notsinfrequently
giving them money. The interest of
the future president was aroused, and
when the opportunity presented itself
he asked the reason for this unusual
cordiality. The surgeon told him that
they were brother Masons, and the ma
jor met this information with the ex-
pressed wish to become q member of a
fraternity on which neither prison bars
nor rank OF Office had the slightest eff
feet.
The desire of young Mckinley was
made known to the officers of Hiram
Lodge, No. 21, of Winchester, and on
the night of May l, 1865, at 100 o'clock
he presented himself for initiation. J..
b. T. Reed, a Confederate chaplain,
was Master of the lodge and conferred
the degree of entered apprentice upon
the candidate. On the following eve
ming the degree of fellowcraft was CIV
en-, while at the same lodge, on the af-
ternoon of May 8, at 3 o'clock, he re-
ceived the Master Mason degree. But
fhree Mocopc ~ pnw l;y;pn wbo y,;t
messed the imitation. They are George
e. and @. S. Jenkins, of Winchester,
and w. r. Denny, of Nashville, Tenn.
After the war Major Mckinley af-
fliated with Canton Lodge, No. 60, on
August q, 1867. and later became q
charter member of Eagle Lodge, No.
43 at Canton. On December %, 1883,
he was exalted in Canton Chapter, No.

Tuesday was an important day on the

Feeling ran high over the election,
but there was no disorder of any kind.

"During the campaign last summer
Mr.. j. D. Lomax was a rip-roaring Jim
Tillmanite, and was almost Frustrated
when the genial Colonel was defeated.
He was in town Saturday and asked us
to say that he was still standing fiat
footed for Jim, and that he never in
tended to have his hair cut until the
Colonel was elected governor of South
Carolina. We will pass the hat around
soon and take up a collection to buy
hair pins for Mr.. LOmax, for we fear
his hair will worry him very much If
he waits until Jim Tillman is elected
before he has Ii cut.n

BUCKET SHOP FIGHT
Surprising Turn of Affairs in the
Milwaukee Chamber.
TRADER VOLUNTARILY RETIRES
Says Proposed Amendments VIII
Make Bucket Shopping Better
for Him Than Before.

Milwaukee. Feb. 1S-The recent action OF
the directors of the Milwaukee chamber in
proposing amendments to rules has had an
effect in one sense not dreamed of by the
members. 1t was expected that the amend
ments would be a knockout for the bucket
shoppers, and no one imagined that they would
operate to drive members out OF the Milwau-
kee board, yet that is what has happened in
at least one case. Carl H. Baumann sold his
membership in the Milwaukee Chamber of
Commerce to l.. P. White of Chicago for $500
yesterday, and gave his reason for so
doing that he intended to continue in the
bucket shop business.
The records of the collector of internal rev
enue show that there are seven firms that
have taken out. second class or bucket shop
brokerage license to conduct a business in
Milwaukee. Some member of all of these
firms but one had memberships in the Cham
her of Commerce. Baumann saws that he
will not have more than one competitor at
the best, and that the prospect is sufficiently
inviting for him to take the chance.
There appears to be but little reason to
dnubt the sincerity of the bucket shop men
that have said they would confne themselves
to the so-called legitimate trading hereafter,
or as soon as they can close up pending deals,
and to show that the officials of the Chamber
of Commerce are convinced Of their sincerity.
firm that has been doing big bucket shop
business permitted to put in private
telephone on change yesterday. ~ -
Carl H. Baumann, although young man,
has been\in the brokerage business for some
time. He was associated vito his fathers
firm, H. j. & T. H. Baumann, for some years,
and three years ago took up the bucket shop
business. He appears the secretary of the
Wisconsin Grain company and was nomnally
the head Of that concern.
: The antibucket shop amendment will be-
W. oI,kIt
be voted upon one week from that day. The
rules require that any proposed amendment
to the rules of the association shall be posted
at least one week before It is voted upon.
