He had been unconscious since 7:50 p. m. His last conscious moment on earth eras sepnt withhia wife to "whom he devoted a lifetime of care.. He was unattended by a minister of . the gospel, but his last words were an humble submission to the will of the God in whom he, believed. He was 'reconciled to the cruel fate to which an assassin's bullet had condemned ' iiim and faced death in the same spirit o calmness and poise which has marked his long and honorable career. His last conscious wortls, reduced to vriting by Dr. Mann, who stood at his jedside when they were uttered were .as follows: "Goodby, all; goodby. It is God'a way. His will be done." His relatives and the members of his . official family were at the Milburn . house, -except Secretary Wilson, who did not avail himself of the opportuni ty, and some of his personal and politi cal friends took leave cf him. This painful ceremony was simple. His frirnds came to the dcor' of the sick room, took a lingering glance at him and turned tearfully away. He was practically unconscious dur ing this time. But the powerful heart "stimulants, including oxj-gen, wereem ployed to retsore him to consciousness for his final parting with his wife. He 'asked for her and she sat at his side and held his hand. He consoled her 'and bade her' goodby. She went through the hart-trylng scene with the same bravery and fortitude with which she had 'borne the grief of the irapedy which endangered his life. The immediate cause of the presi dent's death is undetermined. His physician's disagree and it will possi bly require an autopsy to fix the exact cause. . The president's remains will be taken to Washington and there will be a state funeral. Vice President Roose velt, who now succeeds to the presi dency, may take the oath of office , "ulierever he happens to hear the news. The cabinet will, of course, resign in a body and President Roosevelt will Lave an opportunity of forming a new cabinet if he so desires. The rage of the people of Buffalo against the president's assassin when tb'ey learned that he was dying was , boundless. From authoritative officials the fol lowing details jof the final scene in and about the death chamber were secured: The president had continued in an unconscious state since 8:30 p. m. Dr. Rixey remaine'd with him at all times and until death came. The other doc tors were in the room at times and then repaired to the front room, where their consultations had been held. About 2 o'clock Dr. Rixey noted the unmistakable signs of. dissolution, and the immediate, members of the family were summoned to the bedside. Mr3. JIcKinlev was asleep aad it was deemed desirable not to awaken her for the last moments of anguish. Silently and sadly the members of the family stole" into the room. They stood about the foot and sides of the bed where the great man's life was ebbing away. Those in the circle were Abncr McKinley, the president's broth er; Mrs. Abner McKinley, Miss Helen, the president's sistorf Mrs. Sarah Dun can, another sister; '3Iiss.Mary Barber, a niece; Miss Sarak Duncan; Lieuten ant J.

It had been expected that there would Te aa early rush on the part of the Wash ington public to secure seats for the Schley inquiry, which began at the Washington navy yard today, but while there were more than the usual number of people stirring about the navy yard, where the inquiry is to be held, in the forenoon, the pressure for places was, by no means as strong as had been expected. From an early hour in the day there were a. few stragglers in the grounds', but not un til after 12 o'clock were all the 400 seats reserved for the purpose taken possession of. There was nor restric tion upon the occupancy of these seats and those who were the Irst to ar rive secured their choice of places from which to view the proceedings ine early arrivals found the tool shop, in whica ie court is to sit in confusion. The building ,is new and while the laborers had completed their preparations for the court the cleaners were engaged in their work up to al most the hour for the arrival of the court The man with the dust broom and cleaning cloth had scarcely dis appeared when Admiral Dewey and his fellow members of the court- arriv ed. The building itself is a large, ob long structure and looks more like the workshop which it is intended tc be than a court house. Indeed, while it is commodious and clean, and new, it created the impression of an im promptu court house in a frontier com munity. QUIET AT M'MEESrOir. No Effort Made to Start Tab. Mill aad Crowd Kcspi Away. PITTSBURG, Sept 13. Quiet pre vailed at all points affected by the steel strike in this vicinity, in marked contrast to the excitement and disor der of a few days past At McKees port a small crowd of strikers still guarded the entrance to the National Tube works, but as the plant is prac tically tied up, no men applied for work and the strikers' pickets had nothing to do. The Demmler Tinplate works were in operation with about the same force as yesterday and no at tempt was made to interfere with the workmen. At the Monongahela tin plate plant in this city the mob of men, women and children that sur rounded the property and blocked the streets every day this week, was con spicuous for its absence. This state of affairs was due to an order issued by Inspector Bradley of the South Side police district forbidding them to congregate on the streets under pen alty of arrest The fires were burn ing in two furnaces, but the plant has not yet started up. Seven men were taken in the Star tinplate mill with out molestation. JESSIE MORRISON FREE Kansas Woara Who Killed Her Rival Oat oa Bond. LANSING, Kan., Sept 13.

Deputy Labor Commissioner Watson has addressed Inquiries to fifty prominent persons of Nebraska asking them for their views on the subject of divorce legislation. His letter containing the questions fol lows: "I would respectfully submit the fol lowing questions for your careful con sideration and ask that if convenient you will kindly favor this bureau with uch answers as shall be of. interest and profit to the people of our state. "Are you in favor of more stringent divorce laws in Nebraska. If so, what steps do'-you deem necessary to pro cure a practical measure of reform? "What is the effect of divorce on the integrity of the family? "Would a more prohibitory measure, reducing the number of causes of di vorce as defined, in the existing stat utes have a tendency to promote the moral purity of society in this state? "While the subject of divorce is gradually assuming a position of greater prominence before the coun try from year to year, yet its im portance even when confined to state limits, might well engage the scholar ship of a Newman or Liddon and awaken the enthusiasm of a Wilber force or Sumner.' Mr. Watson concludes by saying that complete returns from all counties in the state shows that there were 9,066 marriages solemnized and 758 divorces granted 'in 1900. In Lancaster county seventy-one divorces were granted and thirty-five cases were abandoned. AS TO LEGAL DISSECTIONS. Saaerlateadeat Fowler Quotes the Law la Regard to the Same. LINCOLN, Sept 14. State Superin tendent Fowler has Issued a circular quoting the law stipulating the condi tions under which dissections are legal in Nebraska, with this preface: "The following law is self-explanatory.

Let all concerned take due warning. v "The question has been raised re garding the amount the medical col leges areisupposed in pay for such bod ies as come under this law. I do not understand that any undertaker, cor oner, sheriff, jailer, superintendent of asylum or hospital, warden of peni tentiary, etc., will be entitled to charge more than the actual expenses in- curred, making- due allowance, of course, for his- services. Unreason able charges will not be tolerated." Waat Rev. F. I.. Whatea to Stay. LINCOLN, Sept 14.

" The attempt to assassinate President McKinley,, and above all the failure of the surgeons to locate the second bul let of course turns the thoughts of every one to the pight of President Garfield when he lay for eleven weeks and more suffering, from' the effects of Guiteau's bullet, the whereabouts of which the surgeons failed to' discover until the knife laid bare Its course at the autopsy. - Galteaas Ballets. Gen. Garfield was shot at 9:30 o'clock m-the' morning of Saturday, July 2, 1881, in the ladies' waiting-room of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad in Washington, while he was walking arm in arm with James G. Blaine. He 'vas' taken first to a private room in the station and thence removed to the White House. He had been shot twice, first in the right arm, just below the shoulder, and the second and fatal time in the back, just above the right hip and near the kidney. The sur geons who were, hastily summoned probed for the bullet without success, but announced that its course had been downward and forward into the groin, and that the wound was serious 'but not likely to be fatal. The wound in the arm did not amount to much, save for the pain it caused. The President retained consciousness, and when he reached the White House he dictated a telegram to Mrs. Garfield, who was at Elberon. When he was shot down he was on his way to meet ner in Jersey City, whence with some members of his cabinet he was to make a trip into New England. Shock Caased by Snooting. President Garfield's recovery from the shock of the wounds was very gradual. Later attempts to find the bullet failed, but there were no signs at once of serious Internal hemor rhage and there was little external bleeding. Both of-these symptoms de veloped later in the afternoon, with vomiting, and at 3:30 o'clock the phy sicians said that the patient could. not recover. A former physician of Gen. Garfield's said that the President had very few chances. The President main tained his courage, kept a clear head and continued cheerful through Sun day, but he asked the doctors to tell him if he was going to die. Hopes of the medical men rose on Sunday, but on Sunday at midnight they had van ished. Serious inflammation had set in during the evening and at 9 o'clock Vice President Arthur was awaiting a summons to the White House to take the oath of office. Relieving the Pain. By noon of Monday the doctors ad relieved the pain, which till then bad been constant and which the patient had complained of all the' time as be ing in his legs and feet It was due to the injury of the nerves supplying the extremities. One New York sur geon said after the President's death that these .pains he complained of showed that there was trouble In the sciatic muscle region and that this in dication should have led the surgeons to make an incision there which would have let out the pus which afterwards caused so much trouble. At 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon Gen. Garfield said he felt better than at any time since he was shot He had then a pulse of 110, temperature 100 and respiration 24. The examination up to that time, it was announced, had only demon strated that the bullet was in the neighborhood of the liver. Error of Physicians. From then until the autopsy dis closed their error the surgeons spoke of the President's wound as having penetrated the ' liver and statistics were evoked for an illustration of the chances of life with such a wound. It was found that of 160 or 170 cases of similar liver wounds in the Civil War, twenty-three were treated successfully. The great danger in President Gar field's case was acknowledged to be, as in the case of President McKinley now, in peritonitis, which It was said then was almost always fatal. 'On the first evening brandy and cracked ice helped Gen. Garfield to rally. But presently he could not retain that On the sec ond evening champaign and cracked ice aided him. Then his diet fell to milk and lime water, with, later, some chicken broth and rum of ola vintage. Waiting for'Derelopmehts. On the Tuesday following the shoot ing the patient had, as comfortable a day as could be expected and on Wed nesday there was the same waiting for developments, which it was hoped might be good, but feared would be bad. All that, the doctors could do was to try to keep the patient's strength up. They feared blood pois oning all the time, but could do noth- A PLAIN AMERICAN CITIZEN. Habits of the President Indicated by His Clothes. A search through the clothing worn by President McKinley when he was shot revealed the fact that, it con tained only such articles as might be carried by any one of a million, Amer ican citizens.. In one trousers pocket was small change amounting to $1.80. With the coins was a small silver nugget, well worn. There were three small ivory handled penknives, evidently presents which he valued. In addition there was a battered old coin. The President's purse, found In an other pocket, contained $45 in bills and a few cards. In a vest pocket were a silver shell lead pencil and three cigars. In another pocket was Mr. Mc Kinley's open-faced, gold-cased Amer ican watch. No letters or telegrams of any kind were found in any of the pocketsv There was no mark, upon the Presi dent's clothing, or upon anything con tained In the pockets, that would lead '..- ' A K i v THE SURGEONS. ing to prevent it, as they did not know the course of the bullet. They were all ready for Instant operation should It develop, as If It did there must be 'instant operation or death would be certain. The patient might appear to be getting well, but suddenly the blood might come into contact with the putrid matter sloughing from the wound and be turned to gall, and then the patient would die.- The oper ating instruments were kept to hand and the surgeons stood guard. Th. .Phjslclaa's Bulletins. The newspapers wereprinting extra editions -almost hourly- and the -physicians were issuing frequent, bulletins, but it was well understood the doc tors even saying so that the bulletins gave little real information. They merely recorded the pulse, tempera ture and respiration and left the pub lic to make its own deductions. No diagnosis was made public. From the rise of the surgical fever on July 3, the variations of the pulse to July 6 were from 98 to 126, of the temperature from 98.9 to 101.9, and of the respira tion from 19 to 24. Gen. Garfield was told that the bullet had perforated bis diaphragm and on that account he mustn't talk. He liked to converse and the doctors wanted to keep him very quiet They got him to the point where he would even ask mutely for water by putting his hand to his lips. Later he lost all desire td'talk. Appearance of Pas. Not until Friday was pus which the physicians said showed that the wound was healing seen. Ten days after the shooting the patient's temperature reached the highest point 102.8: The doctors all this time believed that the bullet liad passed between the eleventh 'and twelfth ribs, through the liver, and to the abdominal cavity, where they said it had lodged in the anterior wall of the abdomen, from which they ex pected to be able to remove it readily, in due time, without danger. Appearance of Evil Symptoms. It was only learned by the public on July 13 that the President had "cir cumscribed peritonitis," and that he had it since the second day of his ill ness. This circumscribed peritonitis was defined by a tenderness in the abdomen and it was believed by the surgeons that this located the bullet They thought that the tenderness due to the peritonitis marked where the bullet had found lodgment, but a little lump there which they thought was the bullet they concluded alter the au topsy must have been hard pus at the end of a canal which it had bored for itself from a point near the beginning of the bullet wound. The pus worked forward, while the bullet had gone side wise across the back; but it was many weary weeks before this was learned, and the sufferer, from abundant health in midsummer, had passed through all the stages to the knife of the post-mortem examiner just before the autumnal equinox. The "Induction Balance." The surgeons who attended Presi dent Garfield had not relied solely upon the manifestations of the pus workings, but bad employed upon more than one occasion the "induction balance." There had been at least two occasions of serious relapse in the lat ter part of July and at length Dr. Ag new made an incision. Explorations were made along the pus canal, the supposed course of the bullet, where there was a channel several inches deep, but the. results were not satisfac tory, so experiments to locate the bul let were made by the induction bal ance under the oirection of Prof. Gra ham Bell and an assistant 'The re port of one of them on Aug..l said: Surgeon's Report. "Under the supervision of the at tending surgeons, Profs. Bell and Tain tor this morning made another appli cation of the electrical apparatus known as the induction balance, with a view to completing the tests of last week, which were not entirely conclu sive, and ascertaining definitely and certainly if possible the location of the ball. . They tried this Im proved apparatus on the President's body for the first time last week, and although it indicated faintly the loca tion of the ball, it was afterward found to be slightly out of adjustment, and the experiment was not regarded as perfectly conclusive. The results of this morning's tests, however, are en tirely satisfactory both to Profs. Bell and Taintor and to the attending sur geons, and it is now unanimouosly agreed that the location of the ball has been ascertained with reasonable cer tainty, and that it lies, as heretofore stated, in the front wall of the ab domen, immediately over the groin, auout five inches below and to the right of the navel." New York Sun. to his identification. He wore no dia monds. The intrinsic value of every thing on his person at the time of the shooting was probably less than $125. It Is possible that President McKin ley prized the worn silver nugget, the old coin, and the three little penknives more highly than any of his other pos sessions. These were his keepsakes. Wher he got them, how he got them, or what their, possession meant for him the public has no right to In quire. But the public can draw its own conclusions, one of which is that William McKinley has the habits of the plain, every-day American man. Skeletons of Dominican Friars. While digging a sewer in the yard of the Nikolai public school at Svart angaten, Stockholm, the workmen discovered several skeletons. As this is a part of ancient Stockholm, and every bit of ground is of historic In terest, the police at once notified Pro fessor Hildebrand, the noted anti quarian, and from researches made by hlm there seems to be no loubt that the funeral place of the Dominican friars has been discovered.

The vessel is the Kroaprikz Wilhelm, and is owned by the North German Lloyd line. She will Jeavo Bremen on September 17, and there will be many bets laid as to when she will reach her American dock. The Norther German Lloyd company, sets the date for September 24, but 'they secretly hope that she will reach hero before that time, and there are many to wager that she will.

In isolating the bacte'ria 6f physical fatigue, he has found, he says, that it is a poison strongly resembling ptomaine poison in nature. From this he argues that fatigue can, by the use of disinfectants, be avoided like any other poison, and consequently roan need not weaken or age. Couldn't Wear Shoes. Sumpter, 111., Sept 9th. Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but .was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's Kid ney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. She is now as sound and well as ever she was, com pletely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does hot half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud In their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fr.--t that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county.
