The deadly misile, the bullet of the
Dendish assassin, has found its victim &
and Ibe American people, together
with the Christian people of the world,
mourns the untimely and tragic cleatli
of the honored head of the nation,
William McKinley, the third President
of the United States to fall by the
hands of the aSBasin within a brief
And, whereas, not only Americans,
but the world stands aglniBt at the
atrocious crime against humanity, and rag
whereas the immediate successor of our
departed president, beloved by, and of
the people, Theodore Roosevelt, our
newly installed president, has set apart
and appointed Thursday, September 19,
the day on which the remaius of the
deceased president will ,be laid to rest,
as a day of mourning and prayer
throughout the entire country, and

places of business, as early as practica
ble, be suitably draped, and that all
places of business and amusement be
closed on Thursday, the 19th instant,
from the hour of 10 a. in. until the hour |£a
And, whereas, the life of the departed jp
has been, and is an object lesson of the Fa;
possibilities of American youth, and the
example left us by the departed presi- Si

Rincn, I do earnestly request, and recoin- Psj
mend that the good people in their
prayers and devotions will remember,
in this hour of afflictive bereavement,
her who during the life of her departed

care, the bereaved and disconsolate
invalid, Mrs. McKinley. We owe as
much to her for her sake as well as for
— the sake of him who iu the very shadow
of death remembered us when in the ||fl

Nebraska's coin belt does not have the
productive appearance as it usually does
at this season as will be shown by a visit
through the eastern and southern por
tions of the stale. Fruitless stalks rear
themselves in large fields that others
years have rolled out fifty and sixty
bushels to the acre. However, there is
abundance for home needs and but few
fields in the corn region will go less
than twenty bushels.
The way of the agriculturalist is
hard. During the early summer months
vegetation was drowuded with floods of
of rain; in mid-summer heat scorched
the fields uutil there was no moisture
within ten feet of the surface of the
ground; heavy fall rains now spoil the
hay. Hay is spoiling ou the ground and
in the stack. An old resident of the
South Fork country tells us the hay
never spoiled in such quantities as it
does this year. It was dry aud open
when stacked and the four or five inches
rain that have beaten down upon the

a results much spoiled hay now stands
upon the prniries.

Mayor Gallagher’s proclamation pub
lished in this issue will no doubt meet
with a hearty response by the people
of tO'Neill. It is a fitting
act upon the part of the mayor. Al*
feel the general solemnity of the occas
ion. The whole vast country pays its
homage to the memory of the illus
trous . American who fell at the hands
of a coward. The remains are entomb
ed today at Canton, Ohio.
With flags at half mast on many build
ings and the somber trappings of death
hung out in O’Neill early Saturday
morning the public was soon aware that
the president was dead. The feelings
of indignation telt toward the man who
caused the president to fall momentari
ly subsided aud people stood in mule
regret at the great national calamity.
Long exp itiations are hut empty mock
eries in such events. The president—
brave, generous, noble—fell by a
coward’s stroke. And as long as an
archy lives, as long as men love vtelence
better than peace, other presidents,
kings and rulers are liable to fall by the
assassiu's hands.
