rrcsldent McKlnley's charming person
ality and eloquent oratory nre by so means
unknown to Omannmi, for lie has visited
this city four times within the last ten
years, twice before and twice slnco his
election to the presidency.
Tho first of these four visits was In Au
gust, 1502, when Major McKlnlcy was gov
ernor cf Ohio. It was on tho evening of
August C, Just after tho republican stato
convention at Lincoln had nominated
Lorenzo Crounso for governor, that Major
McKlnley fired the opening gun In a great
national bnd stato campaign In Omaha.
McKlnley's name had at that time at
tained such eminence that no less than
20,000 people gathered on the High school
grounds on that night to hear the Ohloan
peak. A large platform had been erected
at tho southeast corner of tho High school
nd from thcio Major McKlnley delivered
an address that held tho close attention of
tho multitude gathered about him for
nearly two hours, A report says "the pro
ceedings wcro uninterrupted, save by the
rumble of the cable trains and the applauso
that rose and fell under the spell of the
speaker's tnnrnctlc utterances."
Major McKlnluy was accompanied on this
occasion by Charles J. Greene, Edward
Itoscwatcr, Oeorge I. Uemls, W. J. Cou
ncil nnd other prominent citizens. After
bis speech tho distinguished visitor was
driven from tho Ilgh school grounds amidst
the plaudits of the peoplo who lined the
streets to Tho Ileo building, where ho mado
an Informal call upon tho editor of Tho
Bee. K.'om thero he was driven to his spe
cial train, whlcn left for tho cast tho fol
lowing morning.

Major McKlnley next visited Omaha In
October, H84. when ho made a remarkable
campaign tour through tho northwestern
states In tho Interests of the republican
congressional candidates He arrived In
Omahu from Lincoln at 7 o'clock on tho
evening of October 4 and was met at tho
Union depot by several hundred citizens nnd
a brass band, who escorted him to tbo
Millard hotel. A reception was to have been
given at the hotel, but Major McKlnley
stopped thero only long enough to cx
chango greetings with John M. Thurston.

ward Itoscwatcr and a fow other friends.
U was estimated that fully 12,000 people
crowded Into tho Coliseum that night to
hear the man who was then looked upon as
tho nation's iext president. The great
audience was by no means composed only
of Omaha people, for tho afternoon and
avcnlng trains coming Into tho city from
nil directions wore crowded with repub
licans, who eagerly seized tho opportunity
of hearing McKlnley spenk on the tariff
question.
It was S o'clock when tho Ohlotfn entered
tho hall and passed down tho aisle to rn
celvo ono of the greatest ovations evor
given to a public man In this city. Whsn
the applause and cheering subsided Senator
Thurston Introduced the speaker, conclud
ing tho Introduction as follows: "Ho (Mc
Klnley) Is now fighting to savo tho llfo of
American Industry, ns he then fought to
sav the llfo of tho American common
wealth. Tho author of tho Wilson bill Is
being banqueted In England, but William
McKlnley holds his levees and receives his
ovations from tho pcoplo of tho United
States. I havo the honor to present to
this magnificent body of my fellow citizens
tho next president of tho United States."
As Qovornor McKlnlcy came forward tit
tho conclusion of Senator Thurston's final
sentence tho mighty audience arose with
him and for two minutes tho cheers rang
through the building. Men stood on chairs
nnd shouted, bats were thrown In tho air,
T.-omcn waved their handkerchiefs. It was
Omaha's welcome to tho country's next
president.
Oovernor .McKlnley spoke little more
than nn hour. Savo for a brief reference
to the pension question, he confined him
self strictly to the tariff. After his ad
dress ho was given an Informal luncheon nt
tho Millard hotel and the following morning
he left for the east.

resentative of a party struggling for su

Wednesday, October H, was President's
day at the Transmlsslsslppt and Interna
tional exposition. It was signalized by tho
most stupendous demonstration that ever
occurred on western soil. Tho grcnt
white city was packed with a surging and
struggling crowd until It seemed that 1,000
more people could not find foothold within
Its gates.
The presidential party entered the ex
position grounds nt 11 o'clock In tho fore
noon. Tho passage of tho presidential car
riage through tho crowd was accompanied
by tho most extravagant demonstrations.
President McKlnlcy bowed right nnd left
to the peoplo ns he passed on to the plat
form from which ho was to speak. Presi

his Introduction of the president as fol
lows: "All honor to the soldiers nnd their com

tho American flag whero It will assure tho
blessings of liberty and of God. All hall
to tho chief who sent to a suffering peoplo
tho humanity of a mighty nation. Alt hall
to our guest, our ruler, our president."
As President McKlnley arose the multi
tude broke Into cheers that lasted for sev
eral minutes. During tho eloquent address

seemed to reflect the unanimous sentiment
of tho tremendous throng.

President McKlnley's fourth and last visit
to Omaha was on tho morning of May 2S
of this year, when ho stopped nt the Union
station for twenty minutes wbllo returning
from California with his sick wife. On
this occasion there were several hundred
Omnhans at tho Btatlon to greet tho prcsl
dent, but owing to tho Bcrious Illness of
Mrs. McKlnley and the fear of disturbing
her rest tho greeting was a quiet one. Tho
president alighted from tho train nnd mixed
with delightful Informality with his follow
citizens on tho depot platform. President
McKlnloy showed his kindly nature that
morning by sending for tho engineer and
fireman of the locomotive which had drawn
his special from North Platto and thank

THREE FORMER TRAGEDIES
Aninmiluntlnii of I'renlilcnta Lincoln
nnd Gnrflrld nnd .Mnyor Hnr
rUun of Chlunito.
Tho hatred engendered by civil war nnd
political strife and disappointment were
tho prime causes of the nusaalnatlon of
President Lincoln thlrty-flvo years ago; of
President Garfield twenty years ago, and
of Mayor Carter Harrison, sr., of Chicago
nearl eight years ago.
President Abraham Lincoln had entered
tho second month of his second term with
tho clouds of war which darkened tho na
lion's llfo for four years rapidly dissolving
under tho sunshino of pence. The con
federacy was scattered. Appomattox was
history. The president entered Richmond
tho day after Its fall, and was actively en
gaged In devising generous plans for tho
reconstruction of tho union when on tho
evening nf Good Friday, April 14, 1S05, he
was shot whllo seated In a box at Ford's
theater, Washington, by J. Wilkes Booth.
Almm simultaneously a murderous attack
was mado upon William H. Seward, tho
secretary ot state, President Lincoln ox
plrcd tho following morning. April 15. No
tragedy of modern times caused such wldo
spread sorrow, such intenso, bewildered ex
cltcraent. The funeral of the martyr nrcsl
dent was conducted with unexampled
solemnity. Tho body was conveyed to and
laid In stato In the leading cities of the
east and mlddlo west, and wob laid at rest
In Oak nidgo cemetery, Springfield, 111.,

Saturday morning. July 2, mi, -vis a
origin awl beautiful day in Washington
Thero was a cloudless sky over tho White
House and over the entire nation theru
was n mantlo of peace and prosperity. Mrs
Oarfiold, wife ot the president, wob nt Long
Branch, convalescing from a sovere Illness.
She desired her husband and children at her
tldo i.nd in compllauco with her request
President Garfield and his two boys, Harry
and James, accompanied by Secretary
Blaine, started for tho depot to tako tho
train for Long Branch.
Upon reaching the dopot President Gar
field walked from tho carriage nnd was fol
lowed by Secretary Blaine. Tho president
walked through the main eutranco and. Just
n he passed tho first bench In the waiting
room, where several pcoplo wore seated, the
assassin. Gulteau, stepped from behind the
uvcncu oor and shot directly nt tho back
of the stalwart man before him. Ho was
nervous with excitement nnd th hniir
went wldo of the, mark. Nobody has ever
iuuuu ucro inn nrst bullet went. It
never struck tb president, and Mr. Garfield
never noticed tho shot There was a loud
report, but the veteran soldier-president
paid no heed to It. Ho went ahead toward
the train; but, taking careful ntm, Gultcau
fired a second shot, nnd It proved fatal. In
stantly dropping his little hand ratchet nnd
wavering n moment on his foot President
Garfield felt upon the tiled floor, mortally
wounded.
Seeing that his second shot had done Its
deadly work the assassin turned aud ran
out of the door through which the president
had entered. A cab wns waiting for him.
Oulteau having ongarcd It In advance of tho
commission of his crime. But the sound of
his revolver had alarmed people on thu
street ond a stalwart sergeant of police
came running Into tho door Just as Gulteati
ran out. Not knowing what had been done.
but Instinctively realizing that the fleeing
man must have committed sorao crime, the
pollccrmn grabbed and held Oulteau, ul
though the fellow struggled violently. In n
Becond tho ofllcer was Informed that he had
captured tho man who had shot the presi
dent of tho United States, and ho hastily
mado his way to police headquarters with
the prisoner.
President Garfield lingered for two and n
half ttonths and died September 19.

On the night of October 28, 1S93, Carter
II. Harrison, mayor of Chicago, was seated
at dinner with his son nnd daughter In his
residence on Ashlnud boulevard. The door
bell rang and a low-browcd, shambling, 111
clad fellow naked to sec tho mayor. The
mai was Prcndergast, a disappointed poll
tlclnn of tho ward type. When ho wns In
formed that the mayor was at dinner ho
turned nway and said he would return later.
When tho man called again tho mnyor was
dozing on a lounge. It had been Mayor'
day nt the World's fnlr nnd he had mnde
the best speech of his life to n vast throng
of people. Mr. Hnrrtson wns nwnkened by
the sound of voices and came toward the
door. Tho man approached the mnyor, said
something which wns not overheard by the
servant nnd then pointed n revolver at Mr.
Harrison s breast nnd fired. Tho assassin
ran Into the street nnd after discharging a
ball nt the pursuing butler disappeared In
Jackson street, shortly afterward surren
dering himself to tho police about tho
time the mnyor expired In tho nrms of Miss
Anna Howard, his tlnncce of New Orlcuns,
to whom ho was to have been married In a
few days.
Prcndergast was tried, convicted nnd ox
ecutcd on July 13, 1S94.
KILLING OF FOREIGN RULERS
Ansninlnittlon of Notnlilpn h- Amir-
chlatn During; the Nineteenth
Century.
The assassination of King Humbert of
Italy last year nnd the moro recent attempt
on tho llfo of tho prlnco of Wales, now
King Edward VII, In Belgium, shows that
tho monarchs of Europe, despite military
and polico guards, are in constant peril of
tho knife or pistol of anarchists. It makes
llttlo difference what the character of the
ruler may be. It ts sufficient for anarchists
to know that ho or sbo represents the
ruling government and therefore should ho
removed from tho enrth. Tho gentlo and
generous empress of Austria, whose sole
crime" In tho eyes of anarchy wns that
sho wns queen, was stricken to death by a
cowardly assassin in Switzerland four years
ago.
Attack nn nonniinrfe.
Tho first year of tho oast century was
marked 'by an attempt on tho life of General
Bonaparte On December 24. 1800, two Ital
ians constructed two boxes, which wore
charged with explosives and placed on
either sldo of a roadway. These two in
fernal machines woro connected by means
of n slender wire, which, when touched bv
the horses ot the first consul's carrlago, was
to pull triggers ot two pistols loaded with
tinder and thereby set fire to the explosive
stuff. Thero was n terrific explosion, as
bad been expected, and ono of tho postilions
was wounded, but Bonapnrte himself es
caped without a scratch. His llfo was twice
tried after this outrage. Tho conspirators
who assassinated the Emperor Paul of Rus
sia on March 11, 1S01, went to work In a
way that precluded tho possibility of fail
ure. They surprised him in his bedroom at
night and strangled him with a towol, as
Dr. Patrick Crontn's breath wa3 taken In
the Carlson cottago In Chicago.
From 1S09, wbon Napoleon was assaulted
at Schocnbrunn, until 1832, when the lite nf
Ferdinand of Austria wns attempted at
Baden, tho ruling potentates lived unmo
lested. In the meantime, however, tho Duke
do Berry, eldest son of the Count d'Artols.
holr apparent to tho French throne, had
been assassinated on the steps of the opera
house by tho republican fanatic, Louvcl.
who plunged a knlfo between his shoulders,
and this murder Is believed by some histor
ians to havo bad a fatal effect In shaking
the Bourbon dynasty.
Louis Philippe, ns already said, had bis
llfo attempted nineteen times. Tho most
fatal of tho attempts against him wns that
mado by a Corsican of tho name of Fieschl.
in 1835, by means of nn Infernal machlno
composed of a number of gun barrels, Tho
outrage, committed In broad daylight, while
tho king was holding a review, resulted in
tho death of Marshal Mortler and of twelve
other persons,

these attempts succeeded. Oxford was n

such. Ho remained thero about twenty
five years. Francis, who assaulted the
queen in 1S42, made n large walo on her
face. He died shortly after ho had been
lodged in St. Luke's Bethlehem. Francis '
was rnquestlonably mad. Nevertheless, )
nftcr his offense, Parliament passed a bill j
enacting that flogging should be Inflicted I
In futuro upon anyone seeking to lufilet
bodily harm upon tho queen or to threaten
her. It wns by virtue of this act that tho
young fool O'Connor, who leveled a pistol nt
the queen In 1869, wns sentenced to be Im
prisoned for n year and to receive twenty
strokes with n bitch. Tho queen kindly re
mitted the whole punishment.
Attnekn on nioK'ou III,
In 1550 Nnpoleon wns twice put In peril
of his life, both his aggressors being
Italians. It wns said that nftcr these at
tempts tho emperor took to wearing a shcot
of mntl tinder his linen. It was not, how
over, until after the fearful enterprise of
Orstnl on January 14, 1858, that ho got to so
seriously unncrtcd ns to live In constant
dread of assats!natIon. Count Fcllco Or
slnl was not n mere vulgar fanatic, but a
gentleman by birth, eduction and fortune.
An ardent patriot and a partisan of tho
unification of Italy, his grudge ngnlnst Na
poleon III was that tho latter, when a
political refugee In Italy, had Joined n
Masonic lodge and sworn certain oaths,
which, by and by, ns emperor, ho had neg
lected to fulfill. Had Orstnl's accomplices
Plcrrl, Rudlo nnd Gomez been men of his
mettle and determination, tho attempt
ngnlnst Nnpoleon In 185S must have been
crowned with success, but they were poor,
Ignorant cravens, who did their work for
pay, nnd their hearts failed them at tho
critical moment. Each of them had been
provided with two explosive shells which
were to be hurled under the emperor's car
riage as It drove up to tho opera. Orslnl
threw his two shells ond Plorre one, but the
other two men ran off In a fright when they
heard the first explosion. Tho damage done
by the shells was ghastly. Five pcoplo
were killed and nine wounded; nil the sol
diers of the mounted escort, were bruised
or scratched, the emperor's coachman fell
off bis box nnd ono of tho footmen was
blown twenty yards with his skull bnttercd
In. Tho imperial coach was a complete
wreck. Tho emperor and empress escaped
without n scratch nnd Inter made their ap
pearnnco In the opera house.
Killing of the Cxnr.
On March 13, 1SS1, whllo the Imperial car
rlago was returning from toe Michael pal
ace In St. Petersburg, two bombs wero
hurled beneath the vehicle. Tho first shell
tore away the back of tho conveyance. The
czar and Grand Duke Michael had scarcely
alighted when n second bomb burst at his
feet. Alexander fell crying for help. His
right leg wns nenrly torn from his body and
tho left war badly shattered. A Cossack
nnd a passer-by wero killed outright. Tho
czar was borne to tho Winter palace, whero
ho died In fearful agony. The Grand Dul:o
Michael wan sorely injured by the explosion
thnt took the monnrch's life.
In 1SC1 the King of Prussia was twlco
fired upon at Baden by a student named
Becker. In 1862 a Greek student fired
on tho queen of Greece Bismarck's llfo
was attempted by Blind in I860 and by Kull

Georgo Balrd and B. McCaffrey wero ar
rested Friday night by Officers Shields,
Drumray and Mitchell nt Sixteenth nnd
Chicago sttccts for causing the blockade
of tho sidewalk and street.
Balrd has been making socialistic speeches
at this place for several weeks and fre
quent complaints havo been mado of tho
streets being blocked. Last night 200 or
300 pooplc had congregated. Officer Shields
attempted to dlsperso tho crowd nnd re
quested Balrd to cease speaking. This
the latter refused to do nnd his arrest fol
lowed. As soon an Bnird was arrested I).
McCaffrey mounted n box and proceeded to
talk. The officers then arrested him.
It Is said that the speakers havo been
making highly Inflammatory speeches
against the government ond ot times verg
ing on tho brink of anarchy. Last night
tho speakers wcro very wild and excited
nnd wero swonrlng at tho pcoplo nnd each
other In n general tirade.
Before the arrests were mnde last night
a crowd of men was discussing tho shoot
ing of President McKlnlcy, when a man
walked up and shouted:
"Yes, and more of them will bo shot be
fore many days."
Ucforo ho could bo captured the man
ran toward Jefferson squaro and disap
peared In tho crowd.
About twenty-flvo socialists followed
Balrd and McCaffrey to tho station and
wcro very lndlgnnnt at the action of tho
police. It was only after being threatened
with nrrest that they dispersed. Chief
Donahue said last night: "I havo no ob
jection to theso people speaking, but I
cannot allow them to blockade tho street."
Balrd and McCaffrey were released on
their own rcoognlzaneo to appear In tho
morning nt 9 o'clock. After their rcloaso
about 100 socialist! congregated at Jeffer
son squaro nnd expressed themselves very
forcibly concerning the nrrests. They said
tho country wns ruined nnd that free
speech was denied the people. It Is their
intention to havo nnother meeting tomor

a "crowd present which the polico will
