Had we refused to publish Father Burri’s
letter then we think that the accusation
of unfairness would have been sustained,
not otherwise. Just to show how hard
it is to please the general public in a con­

In answer to the above, and referring
first to the controversy regarding Mr.
Eddy *s remarks at the public school ex­
ercises, in the judgment of the editor it
was thought best to give both an oppor-
tunity to l>e heard in the same issue.
This is quite in accord with newspaper
etiquette, if we erred in judgment it
was tor the purpose of preventing further

Closing Hours

M ilburn H ouse ,
B uffalo , Sept.
14th.—President McKinley died at 2:15
a.m. He had been unconscious most of
th; time since 7:50 p.m. His last con­
scious hour on earth was spent with the |
wife to whom he devoted a life time of i
care. He died unattended hy a minister
ofthe gospel, but his last words were a ,
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 him and faced
death in the same spirit of calmness
which has marked his long and honorable
career.
His last conscious words, reduced to
writing by Dr. Mann, who stood at his
bedside when they were uttered, were:
" Good-bye all, good-bye. It is God’s
wav. His will be done.”
His relatives and the members of his
official family were at the Milburn H»>use
except Secretary Wilson, who did not
avail himself of the opportunity, and
some of his personaland political friends
took leave of him. This painful ceremony ,
was simple. His friends came to the
door of the sick room, took a longing i
glance at him and turned tearfully away. I
broke the awe-like silence.
passed, then six, seven,
eight—now Dr. Rixev bent forward, and
then one of his hands was raised as it
in warning. The fluttering heart was
just going to rest. A moment more and
Dr. Rixev straightened up and, with a
choking voice, said ;
“ The President is dead.”
Secretary Cortelyou was the first to
turn from the stricken circle. He
stepped from the chamber to the outer
hall and then down the stairway to the
large room where the members of the
Cabinet. Senators and distinguished offi­
cials were assembled.
As his tense white face appeared at the
doorway a bush tell upon the assemblage.
” Gentlemen, the President has passed
away," he said.
For a moment not a word came in re­
ply. Even though the end had been ex­
pccted, the actual announcement that
Mr. McKinley was dead fairly stunned
these men who had been his closest con-
fidants and advisers. Then a groan of
anguish went up from the assembled
officials. They cried like children. All
the pent-up emotions of the last few
da vs were let loose. They turned from
the ro<»m and came from the house with
streaming eyes.
The Parting With His Wife
NETARTS.
Mr. W. Easter has moved his family
to Tillamook to send his children to
school the coming winter.
Geo. N. Hodgdon left for the valley
Sunday after a load of fruit.
Mr. John Creasy, of Nest ticca, brought
in a load of campers Sunday.
Mr. Geo. Hunt, keeper of Cape Mercs
Lighthouse, has been very sick for the
past 10 days, is a little better at present.
Miss Lillie and Master Marion Phelps
have gone to Tillamook, to attend the
public school this winter.
Geo. Phelps went to the lighthouse
Monday.
He was practically unconscious during
this time. But powerful heart stimu­
lants, including oxygen, were employed
to restore 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
good-bye. She went through the heart­
tending scene with the same bravery and
fortitude with which she lias borne the
grief of the tragedy which ended his
life.
The immediate cause of the President’s
death is undetermined. His physicians
disagreed and it will probably require
an autopsy to fix the exact cause. The
President’s remains will be taken to
Washington and there will be a state
funeral.
