Tributes (o Mm. McKlnley.
Council II luffs paid tribute to the memory
of President McKlnlcy yesterday by the
suspension of business throughout the city
and by the holding of a public memorial
service In the opera house, which was en
tirely I ml aequo to to accommodate all who
by their presence desired to show their sor
row for the tragic death of tho nation's
chief magistrate. The bad weather neces
sitated tho abandonment of tho open-air
exercises and Manager Stevenson's gener
ous offer to place the opera houso at tho
convenience of tho committee In charge was
accepted. Although this cnangc in mo ar
.... . . ..
rangements gave tho committee out imio
time, tho opera house was beautifully nnd
appropriately decorated. The Interior was
draped with the national colors nnd with
emblems of mourning. From the prosce
nium hung a large oil painting of tho dead
president draped In black nnd surmounted
by tho Stars and Stripes.
Long bofojo 2 o'clock, tho hour an
nounced for the exercises, tho house was
filled and late comers had to content theirt
tclvcs with standing room. Hundreds were
unable to Rot Insldo the doors, so great
was tho. crowd. The gathering was a rep
resentative one. Mayor Jennings presided
nnd Introduced tho speakers. On tho stage
were many ministers, thoi speakers, tho
choir, city and county officials and leading

every young man should try to follow. Ho
said:
There nro certain great lessons which the
American people must learn from this
tragedy, lct us go away from this solemn
crrcmony with n firm determination that
anarchism, that linteful and' baneful com
bination of madness and fanaticism, shall
bo extcrmlni.tcd, nnd that every tnad
dreamer who would preach or teach tho
evil doctrine shall bo here silenced forever.
In this land of ours, whero there are no
rulers, whero the chief magistrate) Is but
a citizen selected and appointed by his
fellow citizens to administer In their name
for a limited period the affairs of tho gov
ernment, whose duties nro defined and
limited by law, who can exercise no powers
except thoso conferred by the peoplo and
expressed In the law, and who at the end
of his term returns to the ranks with r.o
greater power or authority than the hum
blest citizen in the-land, restrained by the
same laws by which they arn governed and
with no rights before the law which th(y
do not enjoy equally with him: where every
adult man, nntlvn nnd naturalized, Is armed
with a ballot, that weapon for aggression
and shield 'or defense, thre Is not nor
win there bo room or place for the teaching
or tho practice of murder us n menns of
redress.
We should learn, too. that there Is a
necessity for some amendment of our public
manners. Iot us learn to bo temperato ln
all things. Ia-1 us learn to deal candidly
with public questions, as well as with men.
Who can tell to what extent the weak
brnln and forvld Imagination of the wretch
upon whom wo pour out our wrath were
moved and lnlluenred by tho Intcrmpcrafo
dlscusalon of public questions to which he
Uas listened. Who can tell that he was not
movHl to Uo this daxtnrdly deed by the
unseemly caricatures nnd tho hot nnd often
utterly falbe statements he had seen and
read In the press.
Let us by public opinion, as well na by
law, compel all men who ursumo to be
teachers of tho people to constrain them
selves to the common decencies of speech.
Let us teach ihom that thero Is a wldn
difference between liberty of speech nnd of
tho press und unrestricted license. Public
questions a-o of course the subject of
public discussion, but in our discussion of
them let ii- have that regard for truth and
candor nnd decency which la becoming In
Intelligent freomen.
Let us also frown upon nil that class of
men who by speech would create classes
among tho peoplo and would then placs Ih9
nno class Jn hostile, nrray ngalnst the other,
for there nro not imd, from the nature of
the cane, there cannot under our govern
mcnt, be clusscs In the sense In which that

Chnrlen M. Hull's Address.
The concluding address -was made by
Charles M. Hall, who said:
Recognizing thnt the blow aimed at Wil
liam McKlnley was so aimed because ho
stood as tho representative of the Institu
tions wo so dearly love und the great prin
ciples of which our flag Is nn emblem, all
our people feel n sense of pnrsonn! loss and
nersonal sorrow: hut the universality and
sincerity of the mourning for McKlnley Is
In larger pan because of tho man himself.
One of th characteristics which has awak
ened the admiration of the world and has
had no small share In his success wns
his love and reverence for his mother.
Nancy McKlnley wni, ono of thut nobio
rnco of nlonter women, the story of whose
lives constitutes the proudest epic of our
history. At his first inauguration, standing
us the central figure of the closing years
of tho nineteenth rentury. he turned from
tho applauding thousnnds, from all the
pagentry of place, to press n reverent kiss
on the furrowed brow of thnt dear old
backwoods mother.
That act of filial love wns but an Index
of his nobility of soul. The chief elements
of William McKlnley's chirncter were his
simple faith, Inllexlble honesty, Intense pa
triotism, womaniy tenderness and ins un
selfishness, Head the story of his life and
every act or utterance which excites your
admiration may be traced to one or the
other of these dominant elements. Ills
faith was manifested through his dally lllo
and shono with undlmmed splendor when
In Its closing hours, when earth nnd timo
were fast receding nnd he was standing on
tho threshold of on unending eternity, he
said, "His will, not ours, be done."
In HrnndwA)- Mrtliodlst Church.
The memorial services at tho Hroadwav
Methodist church last evening under the
auspices of the old soldiers wero impres
sive nud attracted a congregation that, tilled
tho largo .auditorium to overflowing. Tho
church was appropriately decorated and the
old soldiers to the number of 100 and tho
women of tho Relief corps occupied tho
front pews. ,
Colonel J. J. Stcadmnn prcildcd and
opened the exercls.es with a brief address,
which was a beautiful tributo to the life
and character of tho dead president.
I nun. juini uamwin, -tne speaKer or
mo evening, in his address spoke particu
larly of President McKlnley as a Christian.
Ho told of his gentleness, hl3 dovotlon ns
a son and husband. Despite his gentleness
of character, ho was heroic when war came,
because It was his duty. Just at tho zenith
of his glory and looking forward to that
tlmo when ho would retlro from tho arduous
duties of his position and enjoy that rest
he had eaqped so well, he was ruthlessly
cut down By an assassin.
Mr. Iialdwln referred to tho caricatures
that had been published during the last
campaign of the deceased president, which
he deplored nnd hoped that legislation would
bo enacted that would suppress this llcenic
of tho press.
Reading the hymn, "Lend, Kindly Light,"
be Bald that In studying this hymn one
could trace the characteristics that' made
President McKlnley ono of the greatest
men of the century. Tho scene nt tho
death bed would, bo believed, have a glori
ous effect upon the cause of religion. In
concluding, ho held up the life and career
of the dead president oh an example that
should be followed by every young man,
for "not In the annals of our country can
wo find that which affords such an cxaniulo
as the life, career and death of William
McKlnloy." , i
Short addresses wore made by Rev, D. C.
Franklin, D. D., presiding cider, and Rov.
Father Patrick Smyth.
A feature of the music were the solos
by Mrs. Ida Wcsl Seybcrt. Mrs. W. W.

Caldwell. The services were brought to a
closo with the singing of "America" by the
choir and congregation.

tho most solcmu ceremonies In Des Moines

to Indlcato more pointedly tho nulvcrsal

llk-j that which was douc In all parts of
Iowa, Evory whero thoio waB cessation of
business and memorial meetings. Not be

completely given up alt business as today.
Every business house, largo and small,

Settled ont of Court. '
The settlement 'out of court of an un
usual case at Marshalltown brought to
light the story of an old defalcation. The
suit was that of J. P. Johnson ngalnst tho
Connecticut Mutual Insurance company and
Mrs. A. O. Baughman of Canton, III. Eigh
teen years ago Mr. Baughman was In tho
employment of a firm at Canton of which
Johnson was a member and he was found
short ln his accounts about $5,000. Ho did
everything he could to make the Arm good
and turned over an Insurnnco policy for
$1,000. This had originally been made out
to his wife. Baughman died a year ago
and Mrs Baughman claimed that she had
never assigned the policy. Suit was
brought to recover the money. In the
meantime Mrs. Ba'ughman's daughter had
been married to U. G. Orendorff, a rich
manufacturer, nnd when they wero sum
moned to appear ns witnesses Mr. Orendorff
preferred that the suit should be settled
rather than to put ln timo in the court.
Mr, Johnson had also become convinced
that tho assignment of the policy was a
forgery. They met before trial and settled
tho case. The Insurance company had
placed the money In the hands of the clerk
of the courts, subjert to tho orders of the
court.

LONDON, Sept. 19. Tho torpedo boat de
stroyer Cobra has foundered ln the North
sea, the result of an explosion. Tho shin
vas enroute from the yard of its builders,
tho Armstrongs of Newcastle, to Ports
mouth aud carried a navigating crew of
from fifty to sixty men. It Is reported that
all were lost with the exception of about
a dozen persons.
Tho Cobra, It became known later, had on
board forty-two naval men and about thirty
live men In tho employ of the contractors.
So far as known only tho twelve men pre
viously referred to have arrived, and It Is
believed they wero tho only survivors.
Five boats wero launched after the Cobra
struck, but some of them were stamped in
the heavy sea which was running at tho
time.
Tho first Intimation of tho disaster wns
tho arrival of n fishing boat at Yarmouth
with six bodies which It had picked up In
the vicinity of the spot where the Cobra
wns last seen. According to tho fishermen
tho Cobra was sighted by tho lightship off
Dowsing Snnds yesterday morning enveloped
In steam and it shortly nfterward disap
peared. Tho mon on the lightship supposed
tho Cobra hnd sailed nwny, until the even
ing, when they observed bodies floating In
the water nnd signalled to tho fishing boat
to investigate tho disaster.
All but Twelve Are Lost.
A dispatch from Mlddlesboro says twelve
survivors of tho crow of tho Cobra were
landcdthcro tlilo morning and confirms tho
report that tho others wero drowned. The
British admiralty has received Information
that tho explosion occurred after tho Cobra
struck a rock and that It sank Immediately.
Tho Cobrn. like its sister boat, tho Viper,
was a turblne-cngincd vessel. H had Just
left the yard of Itu contractors and was un
dergoing a boiler test.
LONDON. Sept. 19. Corrected figures ns
to Cobro show that It had thirty-six souls
on board for whom thero Is no hope. Tor
pedo boats havo gone to the sceno of tho
disaster, which Is the most serious tho
British navy has mffercd since the sinking
of Victoria. Lieutenant lloswnrth Smith,
Cobra's commander, stood upon tho bridge
with his arms folded, n impassive as If on
parade, and went down with tho vessel.
About ono year ago tho torpedo boat de
stroyer Cobra beat tho record of Viper ond
won tho tltlo of the fastest vessel In tho
world. Tho record of Viper, which was
afterward wrocked, was forty-three miles
an hour, while Cobra, In an unofficial trial
over tho samu ourso as that sailed by
Viper, at the mouth of tho Tyne, mado 37.7
knots, or 45.3 miles.
Cobra was an exact duplicate of Viper.
