Tearful Ceremonies MarK. the
Funeral of McKJnley.
William McKlniey has been laid to
rest in the great west, which gave him
to the nation, baok to Mother Earth,
which gave him to the world and his
tory. Doneath the great white dome of
k the Capitol1 the 'official and ceremo-'
nious good-bys of his country and of
tho nations of the world were said
Tuesday. Then came tho people, at
lent but for their manifestations of
grief, passing in unbrokon line before
the flag-draped and flower-covered
bier, sobbing tholr farewell. A train,
black ns tho night through which it
ran, boro the body to tho little Ohio
city whoso residents called the illus
trious dead their townsman. Wednes
day they looked on hlra for tho last
time.
And then ended all pomp and coro
mony. Tho patient, strlckon widow
put away the Inanimate clay and her
last sad cry of farowell ro-echoes from
tho heurts of a strlckon nation gath

by William McKlnloy.
Funeral Service Are Simple,
As befitted the occasion and the
character of the man whose remains
were lying cold and rigid In tho nar
row embrace of the motalllc casket,
tho funeral services in tho Capitol
were simple. They wero conducted In
accordance with the rites of tho Meth
odist Episcopal church, of which Pres
ident McKlnloy was a lifelong mem
ber. Consisting only of two hymns, a
Bong, a prayer, an address, and a bon
cdlction, they wore solemnly Impres
sive. Special prominence was given to
the beautiful hymn, "Nearer, My God,
to Thee," which, in splto of the fact
that it has been familiar property for
many long years, already htiB come to
be known na "President McKlnley's
hymn." It was played as tho casket
left the White Houso, and again as tho
stalwart soldiers and sailors carried
their precious burden up the broad
eastern steps of tho Capitol. It was
sung by tho choir over tho body In tho
center of tho rotunda, whllo as the
procession passed tho President's
church tho chlmo of tho bells rang out
tho samo sweet melody. '
Great Men of Country Mourn.
Gathered around the bier were rep
resentatives of every phase of Ameri
can national life, including the Presi
dent and tho only surviving ex-Pre3l-dent
of tho United States, together
with representatives at this capital of
almost every nation of tho earth. Great
Britain, Franco, Germany, Italy, and
Spain, and all tho republics to tho
southward of tho United States min
gled their tears with those of the
American people. Desplto tho fact
that no attempt had been made to dec
orato tho Interior of the rotunda, be
yond tho arrangements made about tho
catafalque, tho assemblage presented a
memorable sight. Tho somber black
of tho attire of hundreds of civilians
present was splashed brilliantly with
the color and gold of tho representa
tives of the army and tho navy and
, tho court costumes of the diplomatic
corps.

Tho last entry of William McKlniey,

man and the statesman, had passed
through the sumo portals of the old
railroad station perhaps a thousand
times in the last forty years. His first
coming was as u hoy soldlor, and then
he came as a legislator and governor,
and finally as President-elect of tho
United States. That was on March 2,
1S97. It was a porfect spring day, with
budding trees, spring flowers, and
Hinging birds, it was early morning

flags over tho capltol and the Whlto
Houso were at half-mast, and tho flags
of tho army and navy wero shrouded,
whllo muffled drums spoke tho sorrow
for his death, hut above this sorrow
rose tho spirit of McKlnley's triumph
no the sorrowing multitude felt that

"Mr. McKlniey was one of tho most
popular figures In American history
and olio of the best representatives of
American ideals. Society is defense

It Ih scarcely probablo that means will

As to tho congressional and legisla

brief:
"Kvor slnco 18G6, when tho act of
congress was pasfiod touching upon
tho use of water out of streams run
ning on public lands, and also before
that time, tho pcoplo of Nebraska
have been diverting water from the

huvo acquiesced in the idea that the
water In tho streams might bo taken

passed tho act ot 1877 it did It upon
tho theory that tho water belonged
to tho pcoplo nnd that it might right
fully bo diverted by them, and that
tho public of tho Btnto had all agreed
to this idea and that thoy had no ob
jection to tho diversion of tho wator.
For moro than thirty-four years tho
