The mausoleum stands oil an emi-, uence to which has been given the name of Monument Hill, about two miles due west of the McKinley home in the city of Canton. It is not an ornate affair, but its simplicity is re lieved by sufficient artistic embellish ment to make it an object of beauty, as well as one of massive proportions and breadth of design. Four states have contributed a share of the material which has been used in the building of the monument. The granite used in the approaches and the mausoleum proper are from the quai lles of Milford. Mass. Tennessee has furnished gray marble for the intelor of the tomb, while the sacophagi whlcn now holds the bronze caskets in which lie the bodies of President and Mrs. PRESIDENT BEGINS JOURNEY. | Leaves Washington for Extended Trip to the West and South.

The floor is of 1 mosaic, marble having been brought 1 from many states for the purpose. Half way down from the top of the j 123 granite steps that lead up to the main entrance on the south side of the mausoleum stands a heroic bronze figure of President McKinley repre senting him in the ’ attitude usually assumed when speaking his right _ hand holding a manuscript, and the left hand in the trousers pocket.

Leslie Vernuille, a white boy, and fifteen negroes were drowned in the Tombigbee river at McGrews shoals, about 100 miles up the river from Mobile, Ala., shortly after noon Thurs day, w'hile crossing the river in a fer ry boat from the government’s works, w r here they were employed. They were on their way to dinner when the acci dent occurred. About midstream the little boat drifted beyond control of the men into the rapids and soon capsized. Two of the negroes in the boat scrambled on top as it overturned, but the other occupants were thrown into the swift current and were drowned almost in stantly. On account of the strong undertow rescue work wms impossi ble. The young white boy drowned is the son of W. B. Vernuille, the chief en gineer in cuarge of the government works at the shoals. Their home is in Oakdale, a suburb of Mobile. The boy was not employed at the works, but was there on a visit to his father and was returning home when the acci dent occurred. The Tombigbee river, at the point where the boat capsized, is very treacherous and has long been con sidered too dangerous for navigation by experienced steamboat men. DEAD GOVERNOR IMPLICATED. Steunenberg, Slain by Orchard, Grew Rich in Idaho Land Frauds. At Boise, Idaho, Thursday, in the trial of United States Senator Wil liam E. Borah, charged with timber land frauds, former Judge Burch of Detroit, special prosecutor, outlined the government’s case against, the senator. It was stated to the jury that the idea of making money out of the tim ber lands which the United States threw open to settlement in in tracts not to exceed IGO acres to any individual, and at a price not to ex seed $2.50 per ac.-e, originated with State Senator John Kincaid, one of the men indicted with Senator Borah. He is alleged to have gathered seve ral men around him, among them the late Governor Steunenberg and Wil liam Sweet, a mining man. These two, it is alleged, put up the first $75, a joint note being the security by which the alleged fuaud was inaugurated. About this time, in IS9O, Attorney Burch asserts, Governor Steunenberg went to a conference called presuma bly for the patriotic purpose of putting down the mining troubles, and while there met a mine owner, Ab Campbell. Through Campbell, it is alleged, Steun enberg, who had exhausted his per sonal resources, met Barber and Moon, who immediately took a deep interest in Idaho timber lands. Governor Steun enberg soon had a bank account of $35,000, it is alleged, which he check ed from as “agent.” In connecting Senator Borah with the conspiracy Mr. Burch says the gov ernment will show that all deeds from “dummy” trustees to the Barbour Lum ber company passed through his office and were recorded, as the records will show, at his request. It is further stated that when tour of five fraudulent claims were held up, Mr. Borah went to the borne of the register of the local land office and made inquiry as to what was to be done concerning them. Tke reg ister told him, it is said, that the claims were fraudulent and had better be left alone. In the government’s outline of the case it is said that James T. Barber in sending one of his men to Idaho, was heard to re mark: “If there is anything you want in Idaho go to William E. Borah. Ho is our attorney out there.” CHALLENGE IS TURNED DOWN.

Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. “It is in my opinion my duty to join those who praise the Cuticura Remedies. After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she xvaa attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, es pecially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We then remembered haring heard so much about Cuticura Rem edies. We sent for them and after twenty four hours we noted considerable improve ment, and, after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five con secutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.
