We plant the houses for you and me.

DElI1 OF hrs MCKINLEY.
We Of the Martyr President
Passes Away.

CANNON. O., May 26:-At Los
o'clock this afternoon Mrs Will
liam Mckinley fell into the
sleep that knows no awakening.
The transition from life to death
was so peaceful and gradual
that it was with difficulty that
the vigilant phyciaas and at
tenddnts noted when 'dissolu-
tion came.
TIE body of Mrs Mckinley
will be placed in the vault in
West Lawn cemetery which
holds the remains of of her hus-
band, until the completion of'the
mausoleum on Monument Hill,
when both caskets will be trans.
ferred to their places in the
tomb.
Mrs McKinley's life of al
most 80 years has been familiar
to the nation by the fact that
more than half of it was a peri.
cd of invalidism. Through all
this, however, she showed firm
and unwavering belief in the
career of her husband and by
her cheering words, in spite of
personal Affections, encour aged
him when there was darkness
at hand.
She believed that his star of
destiny would never set until
he had become president and
for more thar. a quarter of CEN
tury cherished that belief until
her hopes were realized.
After President McKinley's
death she expressed a desire to
join him and prayed daily that
she might join him. Later, how.
ever, she frequently told friends
she desired to live until the
completion of the Mckinley
mausoleum, which is the gift Of
the nation, and which is to be
dedicated on Monument Hill,
