CANTON CITIZENS DO HOMAGE
TO M’KINLEY’S MEMORY.
LOVE OF THE BEREAVED WIFE
She Lays the Customary Bouquet on
Her Husband's Bier and Judge Day
Eulogizes His Dead Chieftain in
Appropriate Words.
CANTON, O., Sept. 15.—There was a
general observance of McKinley me
morial day in the city which claimed
him as its own. From almost every
pulpit there was reference in prayer
or address to him and his work. His
favorite hymns were used. The ad
dress that attracted most attention
here was that given by Judge William
R. Day, McKinley's secretary of state,
and a friend and adviser of McKinley
for years. The address was delivered
in the First Methodist Episcopal
church, of which McKinley was a
member. A portrait of the late presi
dent, aronud which were the folds of
the Stars and Stripes, emblematic of
his patriotic spirit, was displayed.
In the Catholic church a special
mass was said and some of the priests
made references to McKinley, they
having known him personally.
Although deeply conscious of the
fact that just one year ago her bp
loved husband died, Mrs. MeKlnley did
not vary the program followed by her
for several months. All days to her
have been memorial days. Her usual
trip to West Dawn cemetery was
taken this forenoon and she laid love’s
offering of flowers on the casket that
contains the remains of the nation’s
martyred chief. Mrs. Garrett A. Ho
bart, who is her guest, went with her
into the McKinley tomb, and also laid'
a bouquet of flowers on the coffin.
Their drive took them to the Mc
Kinley family burial lots, where bou
quets were laid by Mrs. McKinley’s
direction. During the day there were
many visitors at the McKinley vault,
Judge Day s tribute to his martyred
chief was, in part, as follows. “This
tragedy which fills our hearts with
grief has a lesson for the living, an#
calls upon the law-makers to entovee
laws for the suppression and punish
ment of those who teach or practice
the dreadful tenets of this code of
lawlessness and ruin.”
Referring to the early life of
he heard the call of his country to
Klnley, he said: “From the high school
her sons and at once stepped into the
ranks as a defender of the union. His
associates in arms, officers in his regi
ment, Included such lawyers as Hayes
and Matthews and their companion
ship. While a valiant soldier he de
termined to adopt the legal profession
as his calling should he survive the
perils of war.”
Referring to the Spanlsh-AmeriCan
war Judge Day said: “He determined
to do all within his official duties to
benefit the Cuban people, to relieve the
strain on our people, and If possible
to accomplish these ends without an
appeal to arms. These purposes are
the key to his Cuban policy steadily
pursued, with much accomplished when
the i unbooked for happened in the
treacherous anchoring of the Maine,
by which she became the easy prey
of malicious persons bent on her de
struction. The president felt he could
not look upon a peaceful settlement
which did not involve the withdrawal
of Spain from this continent, and he
promptly advised our minister at Ma
drid that only such a settlement would
be satisfactory.”

Armour Sends $4,000,000 to New York
City to Invest.
CHICAGO, 111., Sept. 15.—Seeking
to relieve in a measure the stringency
in the eastern money market and also
to benefit by the advancing rates for
loans, Armour & Co. sent $4,000,000
to New York for loaning purposes.
J. Ogden Armour, president of the
corporation, said tonight: “We sent
$4,000,000 to the New York market to
day, with the instruction that it be

of Wabash railroad men on an en
gine prevented laborers from exca
vating under the Wabash tracks yes

from Judge Zachritz of the circuit

HUNDREDS LEFT HOMELESS.
Many Are Reported Burned to Death
In Oregon.
PORTIiAND, Ore., Sept. 15.—About
300 people are left homeless in Mult
nomah and Clackamas counties as a
result of the forest fires that have
raged for the past week. Fires have
burned over a wide scope of country,
but the greater damage in this state
appears to have been done in these
two counties. In a fire that destroyed
the town of Palmer, near Bridal Vale,
two boys named Hamilotn were caught
while trying to escape from the flames
and burned to death. The timber
losses in Clackamas county have been
immense and the whole length of the
Clackamas river presents nothing but
vistas of ruined settlements.
In eastern Multnomah the fires are
under control and no further damage
is feared unless weather changes. In
southern Oregon excellent work ha*
been done by the ranchers and the de
struction confined to a comparatively
limited area. Eugenie and surround
ing country is now practically out of
danger, though fires are still menac
ing. Tillamook also has been saved
by the change in the direction of the
wind and the inhabitants have good
hopes of saving the town, which has
twice been almost abandoned before
the raging flames.

presided and John Dillon and William
O’Brien, nationalist members of the

nouncing the slur on Dublin’s fair
name were unanimously passed.

Major General Samuel B. M. Young
and Brigadier General Leonard Wood,
attended the German army maneuvers
near Frankfort-on-the-Odor last week,
gave out a statement before he left for
Dusseldorf denying what purported to
be an interview with him, in which
he was represented as unfavorably
criticising the German infantry. In
this statement General Corbin said:
“My companions and I have reached
the conviction that the German army
in every respect, but particularly in
organization, instruction, discipline
and equipment, is among the best in
existence, if not the best.
“The army excited the idmiration of
all of the American officers who wit
nessed the maneuvers, and we shall
never forget the many marks of dis
tinction and courtesy bestowed upon
us by Emperor William and his offi
cers.”

BAD FOR THE DEPOSITORS.
Will Lose Heavily in the Chamber
lain Bank Wreck.
TECUMSEH, Neb., Sept. 15.—There
is much feverish excitement in the
Chamberlain bank wrecking case.
The bank examiner’s report shows the
whole affair up in such a bad light
that some of the depositors whose
only means were wrapped up in the
bank are now desperate and threaten

the misfortune to again return to Te

. Crookedness of every kind and even
forgery and mutilation of records are
charged up against him. It develop
ed that the bank was run in the loos

straint being placed on Chamberlain’s
actions. In fact nobody but Chamber
lain himself knew anything about the
[bank’s affairs.

gated the worse the thing appears,

and not how much the depositors will
get.

THE LAT CROP BULLETIN.
t __
It Tells the Same Story of Encourag
ing Conditions.
' LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 13.—The Ne
braska section of the climate and
crop service has issued its last bul
letin for the year. It tells the same
tale of good crop conditions in all
parts of the state. Incidentally Mr.
Loveland sa^s that never since he has
been connected with the department
have the crop conditions been better.
His reports, which are considered au
thentic, show that the yield per acre
will be unusually large. The acreage
of winter wheat increased materially,
while the acreage of spring wheat de
clined. Corn remained almost sta
tionary, there being a slight decrease
in many places, owing to the increase
in the acreage of wheat.
The fact that the department will
‘issue no more bulletins is a convinc
ing indication that corn is entirely
out of danger, in fact Mr. Loveland
says that the weather during the re
mainder of the fall will have but lit
tle effect.
