In the opening prayer of Sunday morning
services at. tho First Congregational church
Rev. H. C. Herring uttered a fervent nppcal
to heaven that the life of President Mc
Klnley might bo upared. Tho pastor then
prtnehed from tho words of tho Apostlo
Paul, "Work out your own salvation, with
fear and trembling, for It is God that
workoth In you, both to will and to do His
own good pleasure,"
Dr. Herring drew from theso words an
admonition to strlvo strenuously for better
ment In all ways, never to nllow either
mind, rcul or body to stagnate, come to a
rtiultill cr retrograde .This constant
Blru'- !? for advancement should bo maln-ta'n-'

SIOfllEhto from the tertt wcro classed
under two suggestions. Tho first Is a grim
message the vast possibilities of failure
confronting every human life. For each of
us nro continual perils that continue from
tho crndlo to the grave, perils of childhood,
of young manhood and womanhood, of
middle age, unceasing, never ending. One of
tho most formidable Is that of stunted de
velopment, on ono side of a llfo or In nil.
To bco a scul. a mind or a body unde
veloped, not worked ottt to Its fullest possi
bilities, Is the dreariest, most mournful
sight In the world.
The second suggestion Is that of tho
glorious poMlbilltlca of a "Christian life,
This thouGht Is arrayed In all Its bright

"Porlls of Our Country" was tho themo
of a stirring' sermon dellvorcd by Ilev, T. V.
Moore at Westminster Presbyterian church.
1 1 ti said:
"To think that an assassin should raise
his hand against such a man and such a
president! So good a mnn so wlso a ruler,
eo patient and honornblo a leader in war
as well as In peace! To smite down such a
man at that whllo pretending to do him

"Hut this Is a blow, not simply at a good

and queens In other lands; then publicly

the people says 'Utterly inadequate!'
Talk of treating this crime as that of nn
Individual against nn Individual drives men
to speak of lynching as right.
"Tho crlmo should not bo treated In that

proceeded against as an Individual, It
should be treated as against the stato and
tho organization behind the assassin Is par
tlceps crlmlnis and should also be pro
ceeded against While no man should bo
molested merely because he holds such

should be treated Instantly as being guilty

In opening his services at the Hanscom
Park Methodist church Sunday morning
Rev. Clydo Clay Clssell referred to tho
murderous assault 'lipou President Mc
Klnley In tho following words:
"Three times In the .history of the United
Stated have assassins attempted tho life
of tho chief executive of tho land. In
two of them havo they been nuccessful. Tho
nssnsslnatlon of 'Lincoln, was ;not turprlslng,
coming nt tho close of tho bloodiest war
the world has over known. Tho assassina
tion of Garfield, following a campaign In
which tho greatest rancor was manifest,
wns not so much to be wondered nt. but
for the attempt upon the lite of McKlnlov.
In u tlmo of tho greatest prosperity and
good-fellowship, no reason can bo assigned
unless It Is that It was the result of those
anarchistic principles which exist not only
In tho United Stated but In every land.
"In his Injuries the president's words
vcro an exposition of the Christian prin
ciples which have actuated his life, he
saying: 'Ocd, forgive him.-' His next
thought was for his wjfo and he asked that
tho be not told of tho assault until her
mind could bo prepared for It. It was
a revelation of tho character of tho man
from the time when he was a Sunday school
teacher In the llttlo town of Canton until
ho beenmo tho cynosure of all eyes as the

"Today has been act nparf by tho chief

will observe tho day In that manner. All

Tho sermon ,of Rev. E. F. Trofz last
night was an eulogy upon tho character 'of
tho stricken chief cxocutlve. "It Is not
extravagant to say that President McKlnley
held first rank among all his illustrious
predecessors as a popular Idol," said Mr.
Trcfz. "By birth and training ho Is dis
tinctly American, a soldier, a statesman,
a scholar, a 'gentleman and n Christian.
His entire career gives no" evidence of
blotch or stain upon a magnificent, char

nnd In legislation, ho stands singularly
nlono, because tho combination of Intel

wcro ns valuable to him ns his own.
"Vet this man wns selected as tho victim
of anarchy. What shall we say of tho

claimed to b5 a representative? Let. us
recall tho dlscrlptlon given by John James
Ingnlls when portraying the murder of
President Oarflcld: 'Such a re.velatlon of

been made. Not one good deed, nor any

tachrd from mankind In eternal Isolation
as tho one human being without a virtue
and without nn apologist, a defender or a
friend. Even among the basest he has no
comrades. Thore Is no society In which he
would not be a stranger. Ho Is the ono
felon whom no lawyer can protect, no Jury

from whos'e verdict there Is neither ex

u national calamity; but n calamity which
was deplored by tho entlro civilized world.
Ilcv. Goorge Edward Wnlk, rector, of St.
Paul's Episcopal church, took as hj text
"Ono Sinner; Destroyeth Much Good,'' from
Ecclesiastics, O-'IS, eaylng,
"The hearts of tho people of this nation

I have chosen for my dlscourio this morn

strongor than Ood? Is vice mightier than
virtue? This is notthe'way to put it.
Christianity Is a producer; sin. Is a con
sumer. Christ In a builder; the devil Is a
destroyc- It Is easier tb consume than
It Is to produce. It is easier to destroy
than It Is to build. A profligate son or
erring daughter enn destroy the peace and
happiness of tho heft family. An evil and
corrupt ruler can destroy the liberties of n
whole nation. A wicked wretch by a single
act of Ineffable vlotenco can plunge awholo
nation Into tho rlrofoundest grief. It must
never be forgotten that It Is the quality
of sin to destroy, whereas It Is the peculiar
province of righteousness to build dp and
save,
"President McKlnley has shown himself
a man among men, a man of unblemished
character, a man whose loyal devotion to
the noble woman he cho9e as his helpmeet
through life, who shows that courage which
only a noblo woman could under tho fear
ful calamity that has overtaken her In this
tho darkest hour of her life, has earned for
him tho love nnd "respect -of every well
thinking man and woman In this country.
A man who with iintlrlngzeal has devoted
those energies with which Ood bestowed
him for the welfare nnd happiness of this
city, over which he has twice been chosen

At the English Lutheran church tho pas

the entire civilized world Is a crime which
was not so much directed Rgain't nn In

would speak more fully on the subject next

At the Flr3t Congregational church Rev.

for Its strict enforcement, 1 must 'say that

'When the regular servlco had been con

transformed Itself Into a mass meeting,
on motion of Judgo T, H. Anderson of the
district supremo court, directed that' the
following expression of the sen3o of the

Tho board of tho Metropolitan Methodist

The message was signed by all tho mem
bers of the official board. The adoption of
this resolution was followed by remark hy
tevoral of tho leading members of tho
church, all filled with sontlmepf3 of tho
deepest regret for the Buffalo tragedy and
highest pralso for the president as a man
and member of their congregation. When
the meeting finally adjourned the members
of the congregation gathered about tho
altar jxchanglng regrets. Mingled with tho
general, conversation were remarks ir dep
recation of Dr, Naylor's reference to tho
summary punishment of the president's as
sailant. It was characterized by sme as
open advocacy of lynch law. On the qthar
,haud, there were many who took occasion
to express to Dr. Naylor their complete en-"
dorsemfnt of his position. He did not for a
moment seem dlsnosed to change his atti
tude. He said to those with whom he spoke.
"If I had beon there I would have blown

Among those who spoke In tho congrega

A. D. Lynch. Roy. J. D. Croissant and Dr.
Naylor. Judge Anderr-on deprecated any
sentiment which would seem to lend In
fluence to the summary and speedy punish
ment of tho nuthor of the attempt upon
tho president's life. Notwithstanding the
moral sense of the world had been aroused
by the awful crime he was sure, he said,
the law would be vindicated and tho na
tional sense of order nnd Justice maintained.
Ho felt, ns did others, that If ever n crlmo
had been committed' which deserved sum

contended for orderly conduct and a main
tenance of equipoise.
Judge Lynch nnd Dr: Croissant eulogized
tho president In very high terms, the for
mer declaring that he stood second nlonc to
the Creator. Dr. Croissant saw the finger
of Ood In the tragedy. "Ocd," ho said, "has
something to do In this matter. Something
will be accomplished through the assassin's
bullet, if the crime results In tho abolition
of nnnrchy on American r-oll our beloved
president will not have been shot In vain."
This sentiment i;a greeted with applauso,
as were several other3 In the same vein by
this epeckcr.
Heelnre President Will l.lve.
Dr. Naylor In his address In the meeting
did not repeat the sentiment which he had
expressed In his sermon. Ho merely re
marked In his later address that he was not
surprised at the Intensity of feeling on the
part of the congregation, for It was univer
sal throughout the nation. He declared that
Czolgosz hnd been born without conscience
nnd thnt he wns ready for nny bloody thing
thnt might turn up.
"But our mission," he said, "Is not with
tho dead, but with tho living. William Mc
Klnley Is not dead, nor will ho die." (Ap
plause.) One of the leaders of the church In his
prayer asked for mercy for the aseassln,
but he coupled his petition with the asser
tion that he was the smallest being that
ever had been created and ho expressed tho
opinion that If ho did not find mercy In
heaven ho never would secure It on earth.

churches other than thnt called for by

CLEVELAND, Sept, 8. Colonel Myf'on T.
Hcrrlck, one of tho president's most Inti
mate friends, nrrlved hero early today
from Buffalo, having left the Mllburn resl
denro about midnight.
"When I left Buffalo the physicians felt
grontly encouraged and all had strong
hopos that the president would pull
through'," snld the colonel to tho Associ
ated Press correspondent today. Referring
to the would-be nsasaln and the anarchists
Mr. Hcrrlck said:
''In view of the general feeling aroused
among tho people of tho country against
anarchists ns a result of the shooting of
President McKlnley It sews to me that the
tlmo Is most opportune to demand a change
In tho laws so that any attempt on the life
of tho chief executive may be punished by
death. There Is a strong sentiment In favor
of congress taking action during tho coming
session In retarenco to the matter.
"I was told In Buffalo tbat If President
McKlnley recovers his assailant cannot bn
punished hy more thati seven years' im
prisonment under the laws of New York.
To me this aeenis a condition that should
be remedied by national' legislation. at the
earliest possible moment. Once In four
years tho people of this country elect a
president and ho Immediately becomes a
target for every cheap crank looking for
notoriety In tho country. In my opinion
ovory anarchist In the United States should
bo hunted down llko n mad dog and confined
Just as are lunatics or other dangerous
porsons."
Continuing Mr. Hcrrlck snld it was due
to tho authorities of Buffalo to say that they
had taken every posslblo precaution to
avoid an attack on the president and that
no fault whatever could be attached to the
officials as n result of the shooting.

BUFFALO, Sept.'s". 12-40 p. m.-Senator
Fairbanks has Just left the Mllburn house
and Is full of hope. He said that tho physi
cians feel certnln and confident of the presi
dent's recovery.
Dr. McBurney, after a thorough examina
tion of the president, reported that he had
not found a single unfavorable symptom.
Thero was not tho slightest Indication of
porltonitis. This Opinion of the famous
physician carries much weight.
A local physician, a specialist with whom
Dr. Park has consulted, told Representative
Alexander that Dr. Park was exceedingly
hopeful, Ho said to Mr. Alexander: "I
feci certain tho president will g'ct well.
This Is not 1881, but 1901, and great strides
have been made In surgery In tho last
twenty years,"
Vice President Roosevelt arrived -at the
residence at 12:45. He walked oVer from
the First Presbyterian church on Pennsyl
vania street, where he attended scrvlco
this morning. Ho was accompanied by
Ansley Wilcox, whose guest he Is, Repre
sentative Alexander and Judge Albert
Halght entered Immediately after tho vice
president.
Senator Fairbanks and Senator Hanna ar
rived Just before the noon bulletin was Is
sued nnd Jollied tho distinguished company
gathered helow stairs In tho drawing room.
All wcro overjoyed when the good news
camo from tho sick room. The lower tern
pcrnturo and decreased rapidity 6f pulse
were particularly gratifying and Increased
tho hope that the crisis would bo safely
passed.
Shortly after 1 o'clock Vlco President
Roosevelt and Senator Hanna left the
house. They stopped on tho corner to tell
the newspaper men of tho high hopes the)'
hnd for the president's recovery. The
vice" president said with grcnt emphasis that
he felt satisfied of the president's recovery
and Senator Hanna Interjected the state
ment that the president's condition, con
sidering the circumstances, could not be
more favorable. Complications might arise,
said the senator, but there were no Indica
tions of them up to the present time.
Senator Hauna then spoke of tho news
paper statements that tho reports of the
physicians were being colored and did not
show the president's true condition.
"It is outrageous that such stories should
be circulated," snld he. "Tho physicians
are giving the facts to the public."
At this point Vice President Roosevelt,
with great earnestness, Jald his hand upon
the senator's arm.
"Senator, let mo put It this way," he
nald: "The doctors' bulletins are made
with n scrupulous under-stntement," ho re
pented emphatically, adding emphasis with
his uplifted gloves.
"That expresses It well," said Senator
Hanna.
"Yes," continued Mr. Roosevelt, "If any
thing, the doctors understate tho hopeful
ness of the Eituutton."
Mr. Hanna again assented to this state
ment. He added that it took from forty
eight to seventy-two' hours for conclusions
to he reached of any absolutely conclusive
character and no physlctnns, pending such
a period, would stato absolutely final con
clusions. But for the present the doctors
were .Inspired by the Increased effort to glvo
.the best 'udgmcnt which medical scjenco
could render.
Decllnen In lie PhnloRrnphed.
As Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Hanna
turned to their carrlaga an attempt was
made to photograph the vice president, but
he turned nway hurriedly with a "No, no,"
Indicating that It was not a time far such
scenes,
Robert T. Lincoln, son of President Lin
coln nnd former secretary of war, camo
from the Mllburn house soon after Mr.
Roosevelt and Senutor Hanna retired. Mr.
Lincoln expressed the same hopeful view of
the situation nnd regarded tho condition of
tho patient as altogether favorable.
Shortly after the departure of Vice Presi
dent Roosevelt and Senator Hanna Secretary
Gage, Secretary Root, Secretary Hitchcock
and Attorney General Knox emerged and
walked down Delaware nvenuo together.
All of them shared In tho gopd feeling
which prevailed at the Mllburn house.
"Tho president Is not only doing well,"
said tho attorney general, "but ho gives
promise of doing better."
Ench of these members of the cabinet
was exceedingly optimistic, although ad
mitting the possibility and danger of future
complications.
Secretary Gago said that It another day
passed without an Indication of peritonitis
tho physicians felt that the danger from
that sourco would be over. If the suppura
tion should appear In the neighborhood of
the bullet lator they seemed to feel that no
difficulty would be experienced In remov
ing It.
The members of the cabinet will remain
hero until the Issue of the president's ill
ness is definitely determined. If the phy
sicians pronounce him out of danger they
will return nt once to Washington, whore
thoy can be together and In frequent con
sultation, if necessity arises,
Word was received from Secretary of
State Hay today that he would reach hero
tomorrow. Secretary Long has not signified
'his Intention of coming,
There has as yet been little discussion nn
to the placo whero' President McKlnley will
be removed In the event of his con
valescence. Tho prevailing Improeslon
seems to bo that If he could bo moved
shortly that he would bo taken to Canton
instead of Washington. But If his con
valescence wcro delayed until cooler
weather sets In he probably would be taken
to tho White House, Tho opinion of tho
physicians would probably .govern, howover.
On the arrival of Mr. Hay answers will
bo formed to many messnges of condoleneo
which havo come from crowned heads and
rulers throughout tho world. Theso mes
sages continue to nrrlve, one of them be
ing a deeply sympathetic mcssago from
President Dlnz of Mexico,
All of the foreign representatives who
have been here have now , departed for
Washington, the Japanese minister, Mr,
Tnkahlra, being tho lust to leave tomor
row morning.
WHEN BUFFALO HEARD NEWS.
CltUeun Whose linen! the PreMdenl
Won finve Kvldenee of Ill
icitae I'oneern,
A. M. Morrlssoy of Valentine, Neb,, rounty
attornoy of Cherry county, was In tho city
Sunday on his way homo from a trip to
western Now York, Mr. Morrlssoy was In
Buffalo nt the time the prer-ldent was shot.
Describing the events In that city at the
tlmo he said:
"Newapiper reports describe the city as
being In the greatest excitement, but thnt
Is not the wnv It Impressed me. I was
down town nt tho time of the shooting.
Within fifteen minutes after tho shot was
fired extra editions of the local papers were
on the street. Thoy gave nothing moro
than the bare announcpmer that the presi
dent was shot. They pave nothing of the
man who committed tho crime nor the cir
cumstances under which It took place,
"Ai the fact became known the people
seemed tn become paralyzed Few words
were spoken, but It seemed that tile eutlre
population started for the exposition
grounds, The -president wns the guest of
Buffalo and the assault seemed to bo taken
by every citizen ns a cause for reproach
upon the citizens, A few moments after
the first bulletin was Issued a report gained
currency that the president was dead. A
man who claimed to be a telegraph opera
tor said he heard It In one of the Western
Union offices ns It was sent to the As
soclnted Press, This report created the
greatest amount of excitement of the day.
All business was suspended and pcoplo be
gan to clamor for more news from tho
exposition grounds from which reports came
slowly. I hnie no doubt 'that tho news
reached Omaha aa soon from tho grounds
ns It reached the city of Buffalo. Rumor
followed rumor until about K o'clock, oyer
nn hour nfter tho tragedy, when the news
papers gnvo the first lucid report of the
occurrence. We then learned that tho
president was not dead, and the peopio re
sumed their ordinary business,
l.iirlilnw Nnrrriivlj- Kvndrd,
"It was not until an hour or moro after
the man who did the shooting was placed
In the city Jail that the people knew of the
fact. Had they known that he was to have
been brought to town nt that time he would
Undoubtedly" have been lynched, ns sev
eral crowds with that avowed purpose had
formed to capture the patrol wagon bring
ing him to' the city. 1 expect ho was
brought down in a clocd carriage for
there were mm watching for the police
patrol nnd ho one seemed to have' seen
hlra. When the pcoplo learned that ho had
been locked up several of the different
crowds marched to the Jail, whero they
fouud that extra precautions had been taken
for bis safety and nt the advice of citizens
they dispersed, but 1 am certain from what
I saw that If the rumor of the president's
death had not been denied before tho people
learned thnt tho anarchist was In Jail they
would havo lynched him. If they hnd been
forced tp tear down the Jail to do It.
"At the name time nil eildenee 'of ex
citement was suppressed. The pcoplo talked
In low voices, as though they wero at Hip
bedside of tho sick, and anxiety wns de
pleted on. ovory face, ns each newcomer
was questioned for further news. By 7
o'clock the people hnd settled down to
waiting for bulletins and tho crowds re
mained around the newspaper offices until
Into nt night, when It wns understood that
Mr. McKlnley was In no Immediate-danger
of death, nnd the crowds dissipated,"

BUFFALO, N. Y.. Sept, 8. The Express
tomorrow will say regarding the first opera
tion performed on the president: "Tho
operation performed nt tho Emergency hos
pital left no need for a second operation
to follow It almost Immediately. The full
details of tho operation heretofore hnvo
not been known. It wns performed by Dr,
Matthew D. Mann. His first assistant .vns
Dr. Herman Mynter. His second assistant
was Dr. John Parmentor. His third as
sistant was Dr. Lee of St. Louis, who hap
pened to be nn the exposition grounds at
the tlmo of the trngedy and placed his
services at the disposal of the president.
Dr. Nelson W. Wilson noted the time of
thp operation and took tho notes, Dr.
Eugene Wnsdln of the Marine hospital gave
the' nnesthet'lc". Dr. Rlxey arrived nt the
laltor. 'pari of tho operation and held' the
light. Dr. Park arrived at the close of
the operation. It was Dr. Mann who
wielded the knife.
"The operation lasted about nn hour.
A cut about five Inches Jong was mode, ft
was found necessary to turn up the stomach
of the president In order to trace the course
of the bullet. The opening 'was smnll and
It was carefully closed with sutures, after
which a search wns made for tho holo In
tho back wall of the stomach. Tho holo
where the bullet, went out of tho bnek of
tho stomach was larger than the holo In
the front wnll. In fact, It wns a wound
over nn Inch In diameter. Jagged and ragged.
It wns sewed up In three layers. This
wound was larger than the .wound whero
tho bullet entered the stomach, because
tho bullet In Its course forced tissues
through ahead of It.
Mont Dnnirernnn Fentnre,
"In turning up the stomach, an act that
was absolutely necessary and was per
formed by Dr. Mann with rare skill, tho
danger was that some of tho contents of
the stomach might go Into the abdominal
cnvlty and ns a result cause peritonitis.
Subsequent developments tend to show thnt
this feature of the operatton was grnndly
successful.
"In this connection It Is Interesting that
somo experienced physlclani; do not mind
the temperature nt all In noting the bul
letins of the president's condition, but siy
that so long as tho pulso Is In proper rela
tion to tbo temperature In a big operation
llko this It is very common for the tem
perature to remain around 102 or 103, But
If the temperature had dropped and tho
pulse had aocelernted It would have bcon
a danger signal of peritonitis setting In, It
Is of Interest, also to know that after nn
operation of -this kind the peristaltic o'r
compressive aetlon In tbe abdominal cav
ity ceases or becomes retrograde. After tho
operation, as foon ns tho patient paasjs
anything, oven gas, through the rectum. It
Is n sign 'that peristaltic action has re
commenced normally nnd thnt the danger of
peritonitis Is practically over. After nn
operation such as wns performed on Tho
president the surgeons wish to know at
once, ovon when gns Is pafscd, for thev
take It then that the patient Is compara
tively safe from peritonitis. Tho point of
tremendous Importance In connection with
these facts Is that the president yesterday
passed gas and later 'hero -wns a further
movement, Coupling tbls fact with the bul
letins issued by tbo surgeons the basis for
hope eocms stronger."

PARIS, Sept, 8. Many points of re
scmhlauce are found In the manner In
which jes'terday's crime wns carried out
and Caserio's assassination of President
Carnot. Parisians are now discussing tho
effect the outrage will havo on tho visit of
Emperor Nlchplas and It is universally
realized that whatever might havo been the
possibilities bo'fnre, It Is now out of the
question tfiat the czar will como to Paris.
During .hto stay In France he will be sur
rounded by u hedge of Btcel, so that any
attempt upon his life Is already doomed to
failure, Tho ordinary public will not bo
allowed to gpt anywhere near him, and the
number of tickets Issued by tho ministry
of the Interior, which will pass the holders
Into the various enclosure whero they wll

Tho Temps publishes a dispatch sajlng
that tho outrage will cause the precautions
for the czar's safety to bo redoubled. The
police, the dispatch says, havo already re
fused to allow the municipality of Ilhelms
to erect spacious tribunes along tho route
over which the czar will pass for tho use of
the counselors of the department, and the
ordinary public, and It Is feared the police
will refuse to authorize the erection of
similar projected stands upon the streets
