Her Husband Until National Mau.
solemn is Finished.

Canton, O., May 27.-Mrs. William
Mckinley fell into the sleep that
knows no awakening at 1:05 yester-
day. The transition from iife to
death was SO peaceful and gradual
that it was with difficulty that the
vigilant physicians and attendants
noted when dissolution came
Mrs. McKinley's last words were:
'Why should l linger? Please God
If it be Thy will, why defer it," She
to me now"
"Mrs. Mckinley lasted hours lon
ger than we expected" said the sec
rotary. Her vitality was wonderful"
said DR.. Portmann. 1t was by Secre-
tary Cortelyou that the announce
ment of the death was given. Tele-
grams were flashed over the land.
DR.. Buxton will have charge of the
funeral services, which will be simple.
They will be held at the Mckinley
home Wednesday afternoon. Secre-
tary Cortelyou is directing the ar
rangements and will remain here un-
til after the funeral.
1t was announced yesterday that
the president and Secretary Loeb
would arrive in Canton to attend the
funeral service. Vive President
Fairbanks, who had often been a
house guest OF the McKinleys, is also
expected to attend.
The body of Mrs. Mckinley will be
placed in the vault in West Lawn
cemetery, which holds the remains Of
her husband, until the completion of
the national mausoleum on Monument
hill, when both caskets will be trans
ferred to that tomb.
Ida S,aXton Mckinley was born in
Canton June s, 1S47. James A. Sax
ton, her father, was an intellectual
banker, his wife woman of eXtraor-
Saxton was reared in a home of COM
fort and ease. After attending Can
ton schools she was pupil at pri-
vate school at Delhi, N. Y. Later
she went to a Cleveland academy
and finished her education at Brook
Hall seminary, Media, Pa.
Part of her young womanhood was
spent in the Stark county bank which
belonged to her father. On several
OCCASIONS she had charge of the in
| stitution.
Among many admirers and s3itars

won distinction in the Shenandoah
valley, was the favored one and Janu-

SaXton were married There were
| born to them two daughters Katie
| on Christmas day of 1871, and Ida on
April 1, 1873. Ida died in August
1873. Katie, the first born, lived
three and one-half years; then it was
that Mrs. Mckinley became an in

MIR. WILLIAM BAKER
Up-to-date Farmer of Viola Township
Attended to Business Matters in
Audubon, Last Week.

1t is rare thing to see William off
the farm. For many years he had
the care of his aged parents, who one
by one left him in his lonesomeness,
and passed to the spirit world. Will.
lam was faithful son of whom his
parents were Justly proud. All of his
life he was with them and comforted
and cared for them through their old
age. When Mr.. Baker, Sr. settled on
that fine farm in Viola township it
was six by twelve miles in extent,
afterward few settlers came in the
western half and the township was
cut in two and west half named Cam
eron. The country was very wild and
settlers far apart in those days but Mr..
Baker and his family went to work
and moulded out one of the very best
farms in Audubon County. All the
children, one by one moved away and
started homes for themselves, Will
lam the subject of our sketch re-
NAMED at home, and still occupies
the old homestead.

Electricity on the Farm
Cost Of Plant Trifling Considering
Work it Does. Drives Separator,
Churn, Saw, Grind, etc.

Word comes from e. B Miner of
Oriskany Fall, New York that he has
solved the problem of progressive
farming. The heavy work and most
of the lighter work too is done by cleo
tricity. There is little creek through
the farm and he has merely put the
stream to work. This stream he has
harnessed to run a small dynamo,
which in turn gives him electric light
heat and power for his home and
farm buildings. A email dam was
built of concrete. The fall is elk feet.
A small power house was equipped
with water wheel and $50 volt
generator. The electricity is carried
to The house and barn by cables. AT
the house electricity lights all the
rooms, heats number of apartments,
runs the sewing machine and will
also be used to cook the food. The
cream is separated by electricity and
the heavy barrel churn is run by the
same power. A small motor drives
the buzz saw, the grinding stone, the
feed cutter, the tanning mill and
pumps the water. The cost of the
plant was trifiing considering what il
does. 1t runs night and day and re
quires practically no attention further
than oiling twice a week.

The defense introduced no evil

They argued that those particular

bank and therefore Spencer could not.

HORSES VS. AUTOS
There Will Be No Horse Show in
Chicago This Year. Fine Show
Last Year, Poor Attendance.

It's really distressing to learn that
that most noble of all animals "the
horse" is under the ban. The Sunday
News informs the country that the
Horse Show management has wound
up it's affairs and divided profits,
claiming that the horse is too slow
The people are too much interested in
automobiles. Autos are here to stay
and its too bad that the horse will act
the fool when meeting it's adversary.
Many lives will be lost and much
suffering endured before these two
forces cease to clash.

PRINTER SUICIDES.
Kills Self in Register and Leader Edi.
torial Rooms.

Des Moines.-Thomas M. Hughes.
a printer in the city since 1891, walk
ed into the editorial rooms at the
Register and Leader office, sat down
in chair at the telegraph editors
desk and calmly blew out his brains
with 3S caliber revolver.
Dependency over the loss of his
situation as floor man for the Regis
ter and Leader is believed to have
led Hughes to take the action which
resulted in his instant death.
Constant brooding over a murder
which he committed in Salt Lake Civ
seventeen years ago and for which he
was acquitted had also proved unon
his mind and doubtless contributed
to the causes which brought about the
suicide.
