One Year $1 00 Hii Months 80 Three Month* '£> THURSDAY, SEPT. 19,1901, ill THE PRESIDENT. Lingered for a Week After Fatal Bullet Hit Him. BEAUTIFUL DEATH-BED STORY • Cod's Will. Not Olwb, Be Done,” Were the President's Last Words Buffalo; N. Y.. September 14. — William McKinrley, president of the United States, is dead. The nation awoke this morning to a realization of its affliction, stunned and shocked. His death came painlessly at 2:15. He died the death of a hero. There was no sudden ending of it all. Death came slowly, like the eve ning time. He had no fear. For the suffer er who has so patiently borne the hard struggle of the past week, the bitterness is past. The aching hearts are left to those who mourn him. Just in the sunniest, happiest hour of all the voyage, while ea ger winds were kissing every sail, he dashed against the unseen rock, and in an instant heard the billows roar oyer the sunken ship. It was a tragedy as deep and dark as can be woven of the warp and woof of mystery and death. As his soul reeled for a moment on the brink before its final disso lution, there must have come to him that fleeting period of time wherein the memory of his long life cf good deeds and thoughts, his wife, his children and his friends, passed before him like the phantasmia of a dream, and with that vision in his already death glazed eyes, he murmured slowly: “Goodby, all goodby. It’s God's way, His will, not ours, be done.” Mrs. McKinley last saw her hus band between 11 and 12 o’clock. At that time she sat by the bedside, holding the hand of her dyi*g hus band. The members of the cabinet were admitted to the sick room singly at that time. The president had been uncon scious over three hours before he breathed his last. Mrs. McKinley did not see him die. She bade him goodby some time before. The other relatives were in the room at the time. These are the words which he spoke: ‘‘Goodby, all goodby; it is God’s way. His will, not ours, be done.” These were the last connected sentences that the president spoke. Now and then for half an hour or so afterward he would whisper a few words, at one time repeating some disconnected sentences from “Nearer, My God, To Thee.” DIRECT CAUSE OF DEATH. Buffalo, N.

Y, □h all druggist*. following report of the autopsy upon the remains of President Mc- Kinley was issued at 5 o’clock: “The bullet which struck over the breastbone did not pass through the skin and did little harm. The othet bullet passed through both walls of the stomach near its lower border. Both holes were found to be perfectly closed by the stitches, but the tissue around each hole had become gan grenous. “After passing through the stomach the bullet passed into the back walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing the upper end *f the kidney. Tnis portion of the bullet track was also gangrenous, the gangrene involving the pancreas, “The bullet has not yet been found. There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other or gans. The heart walls were very thin. “There was no evidence of any attempt at repair on the part of na ture, and death resulted from the gangrene which affected the stom ach around the bullet wounds as well as the tissues around the fur ther course of the bullet. “Death was unavoidable by any surgical or medical treatment, and was the direct result of the bullet wound.” Bartow County Baptist Union.
