President McKinlev wu shot and mortally wounded by Leon Czolgoz, ignorant frantic of anarchists tendencies while attending a publio reception at the Temple of Music, on the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. President McKinley died of his wound on September 14 at the residence of Mr. John Q. Milburn President of the exposit ion, whose guest he was during his visit to the Fair. The scenes at the time of assassination, the anxions days of the fatal illness of the martyr President, the grief caused by his untimely death through out the country will never be forgotten by the people of this country who loved McKinley as a man full of human kind ness, honest and upright apd inspired by a deep love for his country. Many large and costl y monuments, erected in large and small cities throughout the country to honor the memory of McKinley speak eloquently of the love and esteem which the American people bore their ill-fated magistrate. The magniflcant monument, which will this, his home city, is not yet completed but it is expected that next year, on Sept. 14, the anniversary of McKinley't death the national monument will be unveiled and de dicated. The monument will cost $50,000 and a fund of an additional $100,000 is now being raised to form an endowment for the purpose of keeping the monument in repair. The imposing monument in Buffalo is completed and so are scores of other monuments in other cities less pretentions, perhaps, but no less eloquent tokens of the peoples love for the departed soldier-statesman.

Sept 6 Lieutenant Gen, H. C. Corbin is determined to "go after" the army officers who have been submitting themselves to newspaper inter view, with the result of charging that he and other prominent army officers have been using official facilities in Manila for the embellishment of their private estab lishments. For a long time it was the custom in Manila for the quartermaster shops to do odd jobs for army officers, all of it in the way of improving the gov ernment quarters occupied by officers and their families. It was in the interest of household comfort and domestic sanita tion, qualities which could not have been improved by resorting to private facilities in that city. This labor did not represent an expenditure of the public money for personal benefit, and whatever was done on the quarters in the way of improve ment on the exterior or interior has been for the benefit of an who chanced to occupy the buildings at that time time and since. Lien. Corbin feels the criticisms which have been made, and he has asked the War Department to ascertain from certain army officers who have expressed themselves, just what they said, and, if he finds there has been an injustice dona to him he intends to seek redress through official channels. j : LIGHTNING COLLECTION AGENT II.
