BUFFALO Sept 16 Buffalo yester
day became a city of mounrners The
gay and flaming decorations of the
Pan American exposition gave way to
the symbol of sorrow The black
drapery of the citys streets muffled
the tollings bells of the churches Bits
of crepe appeared on every sleeve
The sorrow was everywhere apparent
In the morning a simple service took
place at the residence on Delaware ave
nue where the martyred president
died
A hymn was sung and prayer was
offered over the dead body That was
all Only the immediate family and
the friends and political associates of
the late president were present The
scene there was pathetic in the ex
treme Then the body was borne out
to the waiting cortege on the browny
shoulders of eight sailors nnd soldiers
of the republic The cortege passed
through the walls of living humanity
grief stricken to the city hall
A remarkable demonstration occur
red which proved how close the presi
dent was to the hearts of the people
Arrangements had been made to allow
the public to view the body from the
time it arrived at about 130 oclock
until about 5 oclock But the people
were wedged into the streets for two
blocks Two lines formed They ex
tended literally for miles When 5
oclock came 40000 people had already
passed and the crowds waiting below
in the streets seemed undiminished It
was decided to extend the time until
midnight Then for hours longer the
streets were dense with people and a
constant stream flowed up the steps
of the broad entrance into the hall and
passed the bier When the doors were
closed at midnight it was estimated
that 80000 people had viewed the re
mains but thousands of disappointed
ones were stili in the streets The
body will lie in the city hall until
morning At 830 the funeral train
will start for Washington over the
Pennsylvania railroad Mrs McKin
ley the president the cabinefand rela
tives and friends of the dead presi
dent will accompany the remains
Mrs McKinley bore up bravely today
during the service at the Milburn
house and Dr Rixey her physician
thinks she will be able to support
her trying part in the state funeral at
Washington
The day was gray and cheerless
Heavy clouds hung over the city at
times breaking to let through a rift
of sunshine and then threatening to
let loose a downpour upon the gath
ering multitude The air was humid
and heavy and only a light wind
from the south stirred the drooping
flags and the emblems of mourning
The very clecents seemed to lend fit
ting accompaniment to the scene of
sorrow about to be enacted
Mrs McKinley the poor grief-crushed
widow hart been led into the cham
ber by her physician Dr Rixey and
had sat a while alone with him who
had supported and comforted her
through all their years of wedded life
But though her support was gone she
had not broken down Dry eyed she
gazed upon him and fondled his fare
She did not seem to realize that he
was dead Then she was led away
by Dr Rixey and took up her position
at the head of the stairs where she
could hear the services
At 125 the body was allowed to be
viewed by the public and a vast
crowd moved along and took their last
look at the dead chieftain

ever sores appear in the mouth
Jrooping follows and sometimes a dis
charge from the nose constipation
soreness of the feet and stiffness of
he limbs on cows the udder becomes
ilcerated and the flow of milk almost
lisappeai s One great difference be
ween this disease and the foot and
nouth disease is that the hoofs are not
so badly affected as in the European
oot and mouth disease Mr Thomas
says that if the sick animals are
mrsed well the disease will run its
ourse Avith little loss He deems it
ontagious in one sense and that it is

inquiries to fifty prominent persons of

divorce laAvs in Nebraska If so Avhat
steps do you deem necessary to pro
cure a practical measure of reform
What is the effect of divorce on the
integrity of the family
Would a more prohibitory measure
reducing the number of causes of di
vorce as defined In the existing stat
utes haAe a tendency to promote the
moral purity of society in this state
While the subject of divorce is
gradually assuming a position of
greater prominent before the coun
try from year to year yet its im
portance even Avhen confined to state
limits might Avell engage the scholar
ship of a Newman or Liddon and
aAAaken the enthusiasm of a Wilber

marriages solemnized and 758 diAorces
