A Pleasant Recollection.

The death OF Mrs. Mckinley brings
to the mind of the editor OF this paper
the recollection of u pleasant little
business transaction down at Canton,
Ohio, now forty years ago, in when
we feel confident that good lady was
one of the participants. Having SOLD
q business there which we had con-
Quoted for several months, we took
the advice of friend and went to the
bank accompanied by him to make
our first deposit of money. When we
entered the bank no one was present
but a handsome young lady and both
of us removed our hats while she re-
ceived the money and filled out GER
tifcate. The Importance OF the trans
action to us and the surprise OF meet
ing Young lady ia the bank left such
a strong impression that the scene Is
still fresh in our mind. Taking the
fact that her father had a bank In that
CITY at that time and that his daughter
Miss Ida Saxton spent much OF mel
time there in those days as assistant
cashier; and the other fact that Their
was striking resemblance between
the fair young lady we met In the
bank, and the lovely woman we saw
at the White House thirty years later
| we feel justified in concluding that thu
| former was Miss Ida Saxton and thu
| latter Mrs. Ida Saxton-Mckinley
| We do not think that the correctness
or incorrectness of our conclusion II
| this matter will ever cause any com
plicated political disturbance, but tn
recollection is pleasant and we shal
continue to cherish 1t without any eS
pense to the public.

DEATH OF MRS. MCKINLEY.
The Widow of President Mckinley
Passes Away in Canton Ohio.

Though not unexpected, the death
| OF Mrs. Mckinley is heard with sim
cere regret by the American people
by whom she was much admired and
beloved. She has been unconscious
for several days and the end came
Sunday afternoon. Secretary Cortel-
you who has been so intimately con-
nocted with the family, was present
and took charge of the arrangements
for the funeral which was held yester-
day afternoon from the home, and at
tended by many dignitaries of the
government. Her maiden name was
Ida Saxon and had she livec until
June s, she would have been 60 years
of age. Her father was q banker and
her mother a lady of culture and re-
finement. The McKinley's were mar
ried in 1871. Their two little girls
Katie and Ida died when quite young
and Mrs. Mckinley never fully re-
covered from the shock. The body
was placed In the vault which holds
the remains of her husband and when
the great mansoleum is completed
there on Monument Hill both caskets
will be placed side by side in the
tomb. The estate, which amounts to
over two hundred thousand goes to
the heirs OF Mr.. Mckinley. Among
those who attended the fnneral were
President Roosevelt, with Secretaries
Root, Wilson and Garfield, Vice
President Fairbanks, Governor Harris
and other officials.

UNDER TWO FLAGS
Much Excitement Prevailed at the
High School Tuesday Morning


War and rumors Of war cmanating
from the ordinarily prosacic precincts
OF tho High School building were rife
on the streets Tuesday morning, The
very air seemed saturated with inn
pending disaster. The birds ceased to
sing and the squirrels sat on the top
most limb. Busy men stopped on the
street corners to hear or talk OF the
situation. Housewives leaned on the
backyard fence and speculated upon
the probable outcome. The telephone
wires were busy" Tender OF SER
vices for three days or during the war
were made To the Superintendent by
excited parents lined up on either
side. The passerby saw two flags
bearing the same colors proudly float
ing from the school buildings. The
seniors were smiling over the coup
they had played the night before. The
juniors fumed because of the grave
insult they had received. The seniors
had nothing TO do but enjoy the situa-
ton and the juniors declared they
wouldn't do anything more until they
had been avenged by the hauling
down Of the hated senior flags. An
ultimatum was issued and emphasized
by % parade on the sidewalk. Until
justice had been done the high school
room would no longer be decorated
by their gracious presence. The Fac
ulty consulted; an official pronounce
ment was promulgated. The flags
must come down or q compromise be
effected ut any cost. Until. then there
would be no class play nor any grad
uation. Then the juniors laughed and
the seniors got busy. They were up
in the attic. The trap door was fas
tened below, and the Juniors had the
key. Should they Jump from the roof
or sue for peace. They held council
OF war. They decided for peace. A
compromise was made. They took
down one flag and the Juniors hoisted
theirs in its place. The midday sun
shone again. The two flags fioated In
the breeze. The Juniors went back to
their work. The seniors rehearsed
their play and meditated upon the ups
and downs OF life. The birds sang as
OF old and the squirrels came down
and scampered around in the park.
