and criminal classes in America are in
creasing more rapidly than the normal
population, the birth rate among the more
intelligent classes being lower than the

race deterioration and made the question
of white or yellow supremacy in the near

completely in the murder of Maggie
Benjamin Johnson and Annie Ben
jamin, and twice sentenced to be
hanged, has been granted a respite
of 5S days. The last date fixed for
the execution was Tuesday, May

the case before the board again at

Women Mckinley Heirs.
Are Sister and Nieces OF the Late Prcsiden
and Wife.

Women will be the heirs to both
OF the Mckinley estates-that left
by the President of over $500. 900,
and that left by Mrs. Mckinley,
also very large.
The late President S estate, which
was left to his widow during her
lifetime, will now be inherited by
Mrs. Mabel Mckinley Baer, his
favorite niece who gets the SIoo,
900 third her father, Abner Nc
sKinley, would have inherited had
he lived and by his two sisters.
One of them, Miss Helen McKin-
ley, never married and lives in
Cleveland.
The Presidents will was made
during his first administration and
was witnessed by George B. Corte-
you, then his private secretary,
and Captain Charles Loeffler,
White House doorkeeper. The
estate amounted to about $500, ,ooo
at the time of his death, but has
grown since.
Mrs. Mckinley left a large es-
tate of her own, which will go to
her sister, Mrs. Barber, and the
Barber children. Some years ago
Mrs, Mckinley inherited a large
fortune from her brother, George
Saxton, who was killed in Canton.
Mrs. Mckinley also received a pen
sion of $1,000 year from the Gov
ernment, which was more than
enough for her living expenses, so
that both her own fortune and that
of her husband are intact.

A disease styled ''hemorrhagic
scepsema" has broken out among
the cattle of Potter county and a
number of fine full-blooded heifers
have died. The first noticeable in
dication of the disease is when the
eyes of affected cattle begin to set
tie back i'll their heads. They soon
become unable to arise, and when
lifted to their feet they collapse.
The animals, however, do not lose
their appetites, and apparently ex-
perience no pain and die without a
struggle.

animals at that time belonging to
