war passed, the waiting hearse wheeled
lowly Into line, the guards of honor from
the army and navy took up positions on
lther aide of the hearse and the funeral
eortego proper took Its appointed place
behind a delegation of the Grand Army ot
the Republic.
Close behind; the hearse came a carriage
In which were seated cx-Prcsldcnt Cleve
land, Admiral Roblcy D. Evans and General
John Mi Wilson. In n carriage drawn by
four flnt, black horses which came next were
President Roosevelt, Mrs. Iloosovelt nnd
Commander W. S. Cowies. the president's
brother-in-law. Then followed a lino of
carriages bearing nil the members of tho
cabinet, a number of ex-members, and be
Jilnd them the diplomatic corps.
Curtains were drawn so It was difficult to
distinguish t,hor occupants. Silently the
funeral party wound down past the Treaa
ury building and Into tho broad sweep of
Pennsylvania avenue amid profound alienee
that was painful to those who only hIx
months ngo had witnessed tho enthusiastic
plaudits which greeted the dead man as he
made the samo march to assume for a sec
ond time the honors and burdens of tho
presidential office.
Hand Play Dirge.
The artillery band played n solemn dirge
It, wth slow steps, led tho soldiers down
the avenue. All the military organizations
carried their arm, but with colors draped
and furled, The crowds wcro Hllcnt, nil
rai sad, mournful and oppressive. Tho
people stood with heads uncovered and
many bowed In apparently silent prayer m
the hearco passed nlong. Tho slow, dri
lling rain was falling.
After tho carriages In which were the
diplomats 'followed n' long linn of others
containing tho Justices of tho supremo
court, the senate and houso committees
appointed to attend tho funeral, tho local
Judiciary, tho assistant secretaries of the
ovoral executive departments, members of
th various government commissions and
official reprrsentatlver, of tho Insular gov
ernment. Tho remainder of tho procession
was composed of a largo representation of
local bodies of Knights Templars, over 1,000
mombcrs of the Grand Array of tho Re
public, the United Confederate Veterans of
tho city of Washington and of Alexandria,
Va.; various rellglouu and patriotic socie
ties, Including the Sons of the American
Revolution; secret societies nnd labor or
ganliattons and representatives of out-of-town
organizations.
i liaal Legion (n iine.
The military order of the Loyal Legion,
tot which President McKlnley was an hon
ored member, ,wlth a, representation from
the Now York anil Pennsylvania command
aries, formed a conspicuous part In tblB
portion of the, procession, is also did the
Knights Templars ot this city and 6f Alex
andria, Y-? and 71 battalion of tho Uni
form Rank, Knights ot Pythias. Tho full
force of lettof carriers, of Washington, each
with a band of black crepe around his arm,
walked to the solemn tread ot the dirge.
The bannersrll:ofgnliatlons were folded
and draped 'with black, and alt the march
ing civilians woro mourning badges and
white gloves. Fife and drum corps bands
rendered at frequent Intervals along tho
routo tho president's favorite hymn,
"Nearer. My .God. to 'Thee," Tho proces
sion occupied one hour and a halt In pass
ing, a given point.
For hours before the arrival of the fu
neral eortego at the oast front of the 'cap
ital on Impenetrable cordon ot pcopto had
massed along the walk and areas fronting
tho plaza. Thousands upon thousands ot
sorrowing pooplo had gathered here to pay
their last tribute of respect nnd lovo to
the memory ot the dead magistrate.
The entrance to tho senato and house
wings ot tho capltol and tho great marble
staircase ascending from tho plaza respect
ively to tho bouse and acnato were Jammed
with people. A good rain was falling,
but despite this the vast crowds clung to
their places. It was a silent throng.
Scarcely even wus tho murmur of whis
pered conversation audible.
Details ot Soldiers anil Bailors.
The pollco arrangements were perfected
Mrly In the day. Captains Orosa and Pier
on, by direction of (he superintendent of
ppltoe. Major Richard. Sylvester, cleared the
plaza and threw around It a cordon ot
officer. Too. main entrance to tho rotunda
of the capltol, in which tho religious exer
cises Incident to the obsequies were to be
held, was 'reserved for distinguished guests
and for the entranco of the funeral party.
Shortly after 0 o'clock selected details from
the Ninth, Thirty-ninth and Ono Hun
dred and Thirteenth companies, ar
tillery corps, under command of
Captain W. K. Ellis, arrived and
were stationed on the north side of the
main steps, ascending from the plaza to the
rotunda. A similar detachment of seamen
from the United States battleship Illinois,
under command ot Lieutenant do Stlrguer
and Naval Cadets Williams and Ruff, to
gether with a detail, of marines from Wash
ington barracks, udder command of Captain
J. H. Russell, waa stationed on the south
aide of the steps. Shortly afterward promi
nent officers of the army and navy, In full
dress uniform, began to arrive In carriages.
Tbey did not enter the rotunda nt once, but
remained on the portico to form, in accord
ance with general orders, a part of the
guard of honor of tho president's remains.
Dewey Arrive Hnrlyi
Admiral Dewey waa an early arrival. He
waa a(Mred In the brilliant uniform of the
admiral o the navy, but wore the regular
aervlco sword, with a knot ot crepe at the
bllt, Instead ot trie handsome sword pre
sented to him by the American people. Ha
was gven a most oordlal reception..
At 10:12 o'clock tho head of the proces
sion arrived at the north end of the capl
tol plaza, but Instead ot swinging directly
Into tho plaza and pusslng In front ot the
capltol, as usually Is done on the occasion
ot presidential Inaugurations, the military
contingent paired eastward on B street,
thence south on First street east. Headed
by Major General John R. Iirooko and staff,
and the Fifth artillery corps band, the
troops swept arouna to the south end of the
plaza and them marched to position front
ing tho. main entranco to tho capltol. As
oon bb they had been formed at rest, the
artillery bnnd on the left and the Marine
band on the right of the entrance,' the
funeral cortege, with Its guard of honor,
entered the plaza from the north. Aa the
beano halted In front of the main staircase
the trpopn, responding to almost whispered
commands, presented arms,
Cordon of Claard of Honor.
The' guard of honor ascended the steps,
the naval officers on the right and the army
officers on the left, forming a cordon on
each aide, Just wlthlp the ranks ot the ar
tillery men, seamen and marines.
' As the eight sturdy bod) bearers, four
from the' army and four from the navy,
tenderly drew the flag-draped casket from
the hearse the band sweetly played the
Botaa of "Ntarer, My Cod, to Thee." Every
head In the vast throne was bared Tiar-
hlHlmmH MAM Mlldl t n t,nA,.aM till
n silent prayer went up from the thousands
01 ncans.
With careful and solemn tread the body
bearers began the nsccnt ot the stalrcaso
with their precious burden and 'tenderly
boro It to the catafalque In the rotunda.
NATION PAYS LAST RESPECTS
Final Sc'rtlcea Held Over lrel
Ictent's lloilr llrfnre Tnklna;
It lu Clinton.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17. The funeral
services at the capltol over the remains of
the late President McKlnlcy were simple
asd beautiful. They were of the form pre
scribed In the Methodist church. Two
hymns, a prayer, an address nnd a benedic
tion tomprlsed all of It, yet tho Impression
left at the end was of perfection.
The people were slow In gathering.
Among tho first comers were the army offi
cer. General Randolph, chairman ot artil
lery and In chargo ot the military arrange
ments, nt tho capltol, was first among those,
and soon afterward came General DIUcsplc.
chief ot engineers, and General Fltzhugh
Loo. Soon tho number of officers became
too thick to distinguish between thorn and
the rotunda began to light up with the
flashes of gold lace nnd gilt buttons and
flashing sword senbbbards, scattered
through the soberly-dressed crowd of civ
ilians. Refore 10 o'clock the latter had as
sembled In such numbers as to 1)11 the
greater part of the seating spneo not re
served for the persons In the funeral pro
cession who were to enter the rotunda.
Just at 10 o'clock Admiral Dewey mado
his appearance, accompanied by Genoral
Otis, General Davis and General Rugglcs.
He glanced bver the scene within and then
took up his station nt the eastern entrance,
where he was Joined by the other mcmbors
of tho guard of honor.
Mrs. Hobart, with her son, nnd Mrs. Rus
sell A. Alger, escorted by Colonel Hcckcr,
also entered during this llmo of wnltlng.
Tho clergymen and the choir, tho latter
from the Metropolitan '.Methodist Episcopal
church, which Mr. MclClnley attended, filed
In end were seated nt the head of the
catafalque At twenty minutes; to 11 o'clock
tho cabinet entered nnd were seated to the
south of tho platform, nnd then to tho
strnlns of "Nearer, My God. to Thee," by
the Marine band outside, tho caskot wns
borne Into tho rotunda. Colonel Gillespie
led tho way nnd evoryono arose. Tho guard
of Honor on either sldo separated nnd the
casket wns placed gently upon tho cata
falque. Next camo members of the family
of tho deceased, Abncr McKlnlcy leading.
Thoy woro seated near the head of tho casket.-
Mrs. McKlnlcy was not present. Sen
ator Hannn was with tho family party.
Next tho diplomatic corps entered, all In
full court regalia, and were seated to tho
south. Former President Cleveland, with
General Wilson, his escort, snt In iho first
row. Lastly camo President Roosevelt, es
corted by Captain Cowies nnd preceded by
Mr. Cortclyou, secretary to tho president.
Ho was given a seat nt tho end of tho row
occupied by the cabinet, Just south ot tho
casket. Mr. Roosevelt's face was set and
ho appeared to bo restraining his emo
tions with difficulty. "
When tho noise occasioned by seating tho
Into comers had ceased a hush fell upon
tho peoplo and then tho choir softly sang
"Lead, Kindly Light," Cardinal Nowman'a
divine anthem, whllo ovcryono stood In rov
erence. At the conclusion ot the hymn Rev. Dr, 1
Henry R. Naylor, presiding elder ot the
Washington district Methodist Kplscopal
church, delivered tho Invocntlon, whllo tho
distinguished company listened vrlth bowed
heads.
Prayer of Ttev. Ilrnrr Nallor. j
O Lord Clod, Our Heavenly Father, n be
reaved nation cometh to Thee In Its deep
sorrow. To whom can wo go In such nn
hour an this only to Thee? Thou nrt nblo'
to comfort and support tho nflllctcd.
Death strikes down tho tallest and host
of men, and cohsoauent changes nro con
tinually occurring among nations and com
munities. Hut we have been tuught Hint
Thou nrt the Hamo yesterday, toduy and
forev'er; that with Theo there la no varia
bleness nor the least shadow of turning. 80
In the midst of our grief wo turn to Theo
for help.
Wo thank Tlice, O Lord, that years ngo
Thou didst give to this nntton a mnn
whose losn wo mourn today. Wo thank
Then for tho puro and imrclllsh life ho was
enabled to llvo In tho midst of so eventful
un experience Wo thnnk Thro for tho
faithful and distinguished serviced which
ho wns en-bled to render to Thee, to our
country and to tho world. We bloss Theo
for such n, citizen, for such n lawmaker,
for such a governor, for such a president, -for
such u husband, for such a Christian
example, and for a friend.
Dut, Oh, Lord, wo deplore our loss today;
sincerely Implore Thy sanctifying' benedic
tion. We pray Thee for that dear 0110 who
has been walking by hln sldo through the
years, sharing his triumphs nnd partaking
of his sorrows. Olvo to her alt nesdrrt
sustenance, and the comfort her Htrlcken
heart so greatly craves. And under tho
shadow of this great calamity, may she
learn ni never before the fatherhood of
Ood and tho matchless character of Ills
sustaining grace.
And, Oh Lord, we sincerely pray for hlrri
upon whom the mantle of presidential au
thority has so suddenly nnd unexpectedly
fallen. Help him to walk worthy tho high
vocation wbcreunto he has been called. He
needs Thy guiding hnnd nnft' Thine inspira
tion continually. May ho nlwnys present
to tho nation and to the world divinely
Illumined Judgment, n brave heart and
nn unsullied chnrcter.
Hear our prnyer, O Tord, for tho ofilclal
family of tho administration, In tho arlalm
of government; guide them In nil their de
liberations ta the nation's welfare and to
the glory ot Qod.
And now, O Lord, wo humbly pray for
Thy blessing nnd consolation to come to all
tho people of our land and nation. Forg.ve
our past shortcoming, our sins ot omis
sion, as well us our sins of commission.
Help us to mike the Golden Rule the stnnd
nrd of our lives, that wo may "Do unto
others as we would have them do unto us."
and thus become, Indeed, 11 peoplo whoso
and Is the Lord.
These things we humbly ask in tho nnme
of Him who taught us when wc pray to
say:
"Our Father, which art In heaven, hal
lowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come,
my win no none, on eartn iih 11 is in
heaven. Give us this day our dally bread,
and forgive, us our trespasses as we forgive
them that trespass against us. And lead
us not Into temptation, but deliver us from
evil, for Thine Is thn kingdom nnd power
nnd glory, forever. Amen."
As tho pastor ceased the voice ot the
choir swelled forth and tho rich, pure
soprano notes of Mrs. Thomas C. Nores
led the hymn, "Sometime We'll Under
stand." The music was remarkably
effective and touching as the notes came
back In soft echoes from the fulness of thn
dome overhead. Ah soon as the hymn
ceased Bishop Edward G. Andrews of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who had come
from Ohio to say the lost words over the
remains o his llfo:long friend and parish
loner, arose. He stood at tho head of Iho
casket and spoke In sympathetic voice nnd
with many evidences of deen eihoiinn. Th
acoustic qualities ot tho rotunda do not:
favor btich addresses and, although the.
bishop spoko In clear and firm tones, the
rippling echoes from all sldcH mado It diffi
cult for those a short distance from him to
catch hli words. j

nsk this morning of what sort this man Is

FROM THE CAPITOL TO CANTON
Funeral Train Sainted at All Slntlune,

train), Sept. 17. On leaving Washington
tho long, winding train bearing tha remain
of tho martyred Dresltleut nlunvori mil I nln
the dark night and hurried like a black
streaK on its mournful Journey. The cur
tains .of the train were drawn aa It pulled
out of the station, save only for tb ob
servatlon car In which tho rorpso Iay!l4fl UDflCT 4TCn lV T1MF
guarded by a soldier and n sailor ot tho JAl riVUOl AULAll Uf 11JIL
republic. That car alono waa flooded with
light. The countless thousands, extending
from the station far out Into tho suburbs
ot the national capital, waiting patiently
there In tho drenching rain to say fare
well, had an opoprtunlty to catch a last
fleeting slltnpsc of tho flag-covered casket
as the train sped by. Sovcral thousand peo
ple on the bridge over the eastern branch
ot tho I'otomac, straining for a last look,
could bo seen by the lights strung along
the bridge as the train moved under It.
Into the Darkness,
After clearing Washington all watv dark
ness. The train seemed to be running
through a tunnel as black ns the night.
Now and then tho faces of n little mourn
ful group, bare-headed, at the side, of the
track could be seen by tho light from the
denth chamber as the train flashed by nnd
as tho llttlo villages between Washington
and Baltimore were passed the 'sound of
tolling bells came faintly to the heavy
hearted mourners aboard.
As the train came out of the long tunnels
leading to IUltlmoro, before reaching the
Union station, thousands of silent forms
could be seen and tho dismal tolling of the
bells could be heard. A clear drawn buglo
call sounded n requiem, At tho Union sta
tion crowds packed tho station. Hundreds
of people had gnlncd access to the train
shed and they gazed sorrowfully at tho cas
ket while the locomotives wero being
shifted. Tho trnln which had arrived' nt
9:31 p. m. pulled out for tho west n few
minutes later.

YORK, Pa., Sept. 17. Passing out of the
station at Baltimore the trnck was lined
with people. Lnborcrs and handsomely
dressed women stood side by side. Once or
twlco n trnck flaro from a photographer's
flashlight exposed tho wholo trnln to view.
Just beforo the Maryland line was left a
stop was mado to help tho train up tho
grade nt this point. Then for miles the
train ran through the Dutch settlements of
Pennsylvania. It was now after 10 o'clock,
but many Dunkards woro at tho track.
Others ot these simple folk could be Been In
tho open doorways of helr farm houses.
Tho lighted death chamber must have been
nn Imposing vlow, tho soldier nt salute and
the Jack tar with drawn cutlass guarding
the body. The twinkling of tho light from
that car waa probably seen for mlloa
through tho darkness. York was reached nt
11:30 p. m. Ten thousand people wcro nt
tho station nnd nlong tho track lending to It.
The bells tolled dolefully ns the trnln

HARRISUURO, Sept. 18. Tho train slowed
up, but did not stop nt York, where the en
tire population seemed to hnve wnlted fur
into tha night to seo li pass. Tho dolorous
tolling ot tho bells could be distinctly heard
by those on board. Soon after leaving York
all had retired on board tho trains, and
they slipped along In darkness. It was
mining atendlly, but nolthcr rnln nor tho
lateness of tho hour kept tho mourning
people from being at the rack to pay their
final tribute of honor and respect to tho de
parted president.
Harrlsburg was not reached until, after
tho midnight hour, but tho crowd wus Im

stopped several minutes while crews nnd.

had an excellent opportunity to seo tho

If you dont want to lose
your hair, you, will have to do
something, that's certain. What
shall it be?
Use Ayers Hair Vigor. It gives
nourishment and strength to the
weakened' hair-bulbs, and the hair
remains tightly in place.
It does other good things, too. It
restores color to gray hair, Keeps
the scalp clean and healthy, and
makes the hair grow heavy and long.
"My hair waa falling out very fast and rapidly turning
gray, but Ayer't Hair Vigor atopped the falling of the

HEAVY FROST OVER PART OF NEBRASKA
Market Quotations on Ilecembrr nnd
Mny Corn Seem to Indicate thnt
tlir Knrly Chill Hns Wrought
Sumo Dnmnuc In .Norths est.
With temperatures tanging from 30 to 40
degrees, tho first general frost of tho sea
son struck the entire Mississippi valley
and tho northwest Monday night, and as a
consequence both May and December corn Is
riding high on tha market today, being up
almost 3 cents.
From tho southern boundary of Kansas
to tho tar north, from tho Great Lakes west.
to tho seaboard states was tbo white coat
ing deposited. In 101110 places It was a
killing frost, in other localities heavy,
while still other sections reported only a
light touch.
Northern Nebraska, northwest Iowa, both
Dakotas nnd the entire northwest com
prise tho territory covered by a killing
frost. All through this district the temper
atures ranged from the freezing point
down.
Further to tho south, over Kansas and a
large part of Nebraskn, tho frost was de
noted "heavy." Had tho thermometer In
these parts read down to freezing It would
havo been "killing." nut from 31 to 40
degrees wns tho raugo In tho "heavy" sec
tions. Tho mildest visitation of all wns towards
tho east, extending from tho Mississippi
valley to tho tlreat Lakes. Thcro tho mer
cury ninrked ns high ns in degrees In places,
but n't 1 1 1 there wns a touch of frost.
Thnt tbo .cold snap has come unusually
early Is common tnlk about tho city, but
this In a mistake. An nvcrago compiled
from the last thirty years' reports sIjowb
'that tho mean day of first frost In Omaha
Is September 23. So Jack Frost Is only six
days ahead of tlmo this fall.
Forecaster Welsh 1h confident that tho
cold spoil will not continue. He states that
It will probnbly be as frigid in Omaha to
night as It was last, but then tho weather
will take a turn, with warmer days to
come. Tho minimum temperature hero last
night was .13 degrees.
i;nc on Corn Mnrkrt.
Just how this frost has hurt corn wns tho
proposition of greatest Interest in Omaha
today. Homo assert that absolutely no dam
age wns sustained, others that considerable
hnrm was done. Ornln dcnlera and brok
ers, who had been watching for three days
past 'fbr n frost, almost nntlclpntcd the
hoary visitor In their eagerness. Tho cold
of liist night promised It, nnd all tho trad
ing houses were crowded long before op n
Ing tlmo this morning with men waiting to
hcu what effect tho frost hud produced on
tho corn.
When the markers finally commenced to
chalk up opening figures' nt 9 o'clock ex
pectations wcro realized. Deccmbor corn,
which closed yesterday nt 5757? cents,
nnd which did not go higher than CS cents
.nt any time, opened this morning nt C7Vi
.cents nnd quickly mounted to tho60-cent
mark. It stayed between 60 and 61 cents
till the close.
May corn behaved. In a similar manner.
Yesterday It had registered high at fiO'i
and closed nt b'J, Today it opened nt
SU to r9 nnd that was tho low limit, It
rising to 62 by noon.
TIiobo who nrguo that Into corn Is not
hurt baHb their rjbsttlbn on tho statement
that II was' Just' as ready for frost ns It
would ever bo this year and far enough ad
vanced to withstand It. Tho other sldo ot
tbo story Js that a largo portion of tho late
corn is Htlll soft and this wns necessarily
injured, ns corn of that atngo of develop
ment could never escape unharmed.
Women Fight Over Mnn.
Mrs. Lula Henesh and Kmmn Knupp were
arrested lam night at Sixteenth and Lo
cust HtreetM on 11 chargo of lighting. Tho
trouble between them originated at a dance
In that neighborhood. Mr. Henesh and
Miss Kmipi) wero dancing together. Mrs.
Uenesh concluded they wcro "a llttlo too
uffectlonato" and proceeded to tell MIsr
Knnpp ho, A few opinions woro exchanged
In tho hull, which culminated In a Unlit
when they reached tho utreet. Neither
wns seriously damaged. Hoth were locked
up. Mrs. Uenesh was later relenwed on

argument with the woman who

no boiling and but little rub
