' MILBURN HOUSE, BOFPALfc), Sept.
-34 President McKinley died at 2:15
o'clock this morning. 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

WASHINGTON, Sept 13. It had

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

PITTSBURG, Sept 13. Quiet pre

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

LINCOLN, Sept 14. 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.

"The following law is self-explanatory.
Every coroner, sheriff, jailer,
undertaker, superintendent or manag
ing olficr of any asylumT hospital,
poor house or penitentiary In this state
should make himself fully acquainted
with the requirements of this act
This department will insist upon a
strict observance of every provision in
this law. 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

I GARFIELD
AND
As in McKinley's Case They Could Not
' Find Bullets. . . "
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

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.

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

thing on his person at the time of the
shooting was probably less than $125.

old coin, and the three little penknives
more highly than any of his other pos
sessions. These were his keepsakes.

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. '

Another new ocean greyhound will
soon start on her maiden trip to New

of her. The vessel is the Kroaprikz

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. The Kronprinz

to the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Is
ten feet longer, and varies also in other
proportions which count for speed. It
is expected that the Kronprinz Wil

Oa. for th. SUly Season.
Prof eeaprOautler,. a member of the
Institut de France, has propounded .a
theory, "on the subject of perpetual,
youth. 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.
