Than H0Ids Her Own.
THE END MAY come At ANY TINE.
Or. Portmann, the Attending Phys.
clan, Says She May Not Live a Day
But May Live on for a Month

CBy AssOcihted Press.,

CANTON, OHIO, May 24.--In her
fight for life Mrs. Mckinley today
has held her own. SO far az the at
tending physician. DIR. o. u. Port
mann, and his adviser, Surgeon Gen
eral lsixey. could determine at six
O'Clock tonight, when II bulletin was
issued, there has been no material
change in her condition during the
day.
This means, AS DIR. Portmann ex-
presses 1t, "She may live for day,
for several days. or even for a
month";"
The physicians agree that no one
can tell when turn for tho better
or for the worse may set In. She
Fcontinues in comatose state. IL the
patient rallies sufficiently to take
nourishmcnt the chances seem to be
for an indefinite proiongation of her
life. How long no one presumes to
make definite guess. The interest
In Mrs. Mckinleys condition is shown
by the many kilograms that come
from intimate friends. President
Roosevelt, Vice-President Fairbanks,
Justice Day and others are counted
as personal friends and are kept
closely Informed of her condition by
those watching her.
At $3.50 o'clock tonight the follow
ing bulletin was issued at the the
Mckinley home: "Mrs. McKinley's
condition Is somewhat improved, hut
is still serious"
Unless there is Il turn for the worsc
there will be no other bulletins issued
tonight. as her condition is regarded
as sc satisfactory that the attention
of physicians Is not needed.

Bitten by a Doc.

Ellen, the three year old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs Alex Eudey, was
bitten in the arm by dog owned by
Thos. Lemin on Saturday last. The
child was playing on Main street,
and probably ran against the dog,
which is not regarded as vicious.
Anyway the animal turned and seized
the child by the arm, between The
shoulder and elbow. The screams of
the little one brought assistance
speedily. The bite was severe enough
to lacerate the arm, but nothing very
serious. The doctor was summoned
and dressed the wound, and the
child was playing around the next
day.

Bears tbs 1Tha Kind You Have Always Bought
Signature sf IMAzzza
Conditions at Fremont.

Fred Eudey was over at the FIRE.
mont mine last Sunday. All the
water had then been taken out from
the 1900 level connecting the Cover
with the Fremont shaft, and men had
been able to go to the Fremont mine
at that level, underneath where the
fire started. There was no sign of
fire, and the shaft seemed in good
condition as far as it could be explor
ed. The air would not permit an ex-
animation up to 100 level where the
fire originated. Ihe shaft of the Fire.
mont was uncovered, and no smoke
issued therefrom. There was some
steam com ing out. 1t was believed
that the fire was out; and that the
damage to the mine is confined to
the shaft between the 1000 and HOO
levels, and may be one drift. The
blowers we're started Monday, to
force out the steam and noxious gas,
and permit of thorough search for
the bodies of the victims, and to
quench any smoldeIing fire that
might still be found.
Later reports show that the shaft
of the Fremont is caved from the
1150, where the fire started, to the
$50, and is in such a condition that
it will take some time to put the
mine in shape. The men went
through every part of the mine in
hopes of finding some of the entomb b.
ed miners, but no trace whatever was
found of them, indicating that they
must have lost their lives in the shaft,
probably before the cave came The
drifts being all connected, the men
were able to get into every part OF
the mine. so that there is no possible
chance of the miners being in any
| other place but the shaft.

Dec. q. Three months ago we
could hear people saying that we
needed the Japs here to do our work,
we could not get our work done with
out them, and so forth. There is to-
day ten Thousand idle men IN San
Francisco and twice as many more
scattered throughout the state, and
tramps are as plentiful as ever. Does
that look as if we needed more Japs
to do our work? OF course there is,
and always will be scarcity of
laborers during harvest time. that
has been the case ever since l can
remember and that is away back sixty
years or more. AS soon as the West
eIn Pacific and few more railroads
are finished, and San Francisco is
rebuilt, there will be overplus of
white laborers. No, we do not want
any more Asiatic laborers, for every
Chinese, Japanese, or any other
Asiatic that crosses our lines puts a
white man out of a position. The
Japs must go.
The fog is very thick and disagree

HANG Out Liqhts.

|
bridge in process of construction over
the sonth fork, just beyond the leila
mine, was forcibly illustrated few
days ago. The road is supposed to be
closed. and travellers are expected to
go around by the South Jacksun road.
This is all right during daylight,
but after dark strangers are liable to
meet with trouble, and somebody
might be involved in damage suit,
owing to no light nor anything being
placed there to notify travellers of the
change. A drummer came over from
Tuolmmne county early this week.
He had Travelled the road frequently.
He got to this blockaded place be-
tween s and 3 O'Clock, and the first
thing he knew his team was butting
up against the wire fence and the
buggy came near being capsized. He
yelled for help. Fortunately young
Oneto, happened to be near by. and
went to his assistance. The drummer
asked to be taken to the Globe hotel.
He had to go back to Scottsville and
take the road by the way of South
Jackson, and got to his destination
in no amiable mood concerning the
carelessness of some one who is re-
sponsible for this condition of affairs.
The bridge is county affair. con-
tract was awarded for its construction
months ago. Certainly the safety
and convenience for the travelling
public should suggest that every pre-
caution be taken, to avoid unpleasant
experiences of the kind just narrated
Last evening there came near being
another mishap on account of the un-
protected condition at this bridge.
Mr. and Mrs .Chas. CORN, accompani-
ed by their adopted child, were on
their way from Camp Seco copper
mine to visit relatives at Amador
City, intending to stop over at Jack
son. 1t was between and 8 O'Clock
at night when they reached the bridge
construction point. 1t was very
dark. And of course the notice post
ed at the forks of the road near
Scottsville, stating that the old road
was temporarily closed, was just the
same as notice to blind man. 1t
was not visible, neither was there any
signal whatever to warn them of
danger. Furthermore, as a matter of
fact, the old road was not closed, and
knowing nothing whatever of the
condition of affairs, they drove along
the old travelled highway. On reach
ing the;creek the first thing they knew
they were on the point of capsizing.
The animal they had was an unusual
ly gentle one and was halted before
any harm was done. and Mr. CORN
got out to find his bearings. And he
found that he was on the top of the
high filling, and that a step more
would have precipitated them over
the high embankment. The indigna-
ton of the travellers at being thus
trapped without any fault of their
own may be imagined. There was
no light or sign to indicate that
anything was wrong with the road.
They went to the leila and managed
to get light and with difficulty got
out of the predicament, and returned
as far as Scottsviile to take the other
road into town.
