Scarcely Vras he matriculated when tho civil war oamo on. He was but u stripling of 19 when ho entered a3 a private.

The church records show that in 1838, .when ho was hardly 1G, ho united with tho Metho dist Episcopal church of Poland, the minister of which was Rev, Dr. Day, whoso son, Wilson M. Day, is now pres ident of tho Cleveland chamber cf com merce. Major McKinley's father was an iron manufacturer, and a pioneer in that "business. William was his third son. The eldest, David, is now a resident of San Francisco, where ho is tho Hawai ian consul general to the United States. The second son, James, died about four years ago. There is another son, Abner, younger than tho major,' who, although a citizen cf Canton, spends most of his time in New York, where ho is engaged in business. McKinley's mother is now 87 years of age, but alert and vigorous, mentally and physically. Sho sees much of her distinguished sou, and ho waits on her and walks with her each day ho spends in Canton. Even now, while his anxi eties are and should be on keenest edge, playing, as ho is, a bold game for the biggest stako on .earth, he visits and walks with his mother every afternoon. They prefer the quiet streets cf tho sub urbs for these little excursions, and McKinley may bo seen escorting the old lady with tho prof oundest deference and affection, while the conversational in terchange between tho two never flags. M'KINLEY, THE SOLDIER. How He Rosa From tho Ranks and X?e ctune u llrevct Major. Young McKinley had been a keen ob server, so far as his opportunities went, of the political events that culminated in the firing on Fort Sumter. Tho call of the president for troops found a quick response in lm breast, as it did all through tho north. And when the drums anil fifes aroused the echoes of tho quiet streets of Poland, among tho first appli cants for enlistment was William Mc Kinley, Jr. It was a new experience and a new school that the 18-year-old boy entered, this school of war, but he had wonder ful teachers. It was his gooel fortuno that assigned him to the Twenty-third Ohio. The recruits that composed it were in June, 1801, mustered and form ed into a regiment. Its first colonel was William S. Rosecraus, afterward major general -tommanding the department of rho Cumberland. Second in command ras Stanley Matthews, who was a splen did soldier, but won his greatest honors in civil life by becoming United States senator and justice of tho United States supreme court; and Rutherford B. Hayes, afterwavd governor of Ohio and president cf tho United States. Theso are a few of the illustrious men who were borne en tho roll of officers of the gallant regiment in which marched Pri vate William McKinley,' Jr. He carried the musket for 14 months; then ho was promoted. But he won his promotion honestly. His comrades of tho rank and file bear testimony to tho fact that he was a gooel soldier; that h'j performed every duty devolving upon him with fidelity and intelligence and without complaint They congratulated fijm, therefore, when he was made com missary sergeant of tho regiment. Later, after Antietarn, ho was made a second lieutenant, and the Mahoning county boy had risen from the ranks. 116 was now to all intents and pur poses a trained veteran. He had had his baptism in blood at Carnif ex Ferry. He bad gone through the West Virginia campaign and become a part of the aaatmlflcent Army of the Potomac, under McClellan. South' Mountain and Ant it tarn had been made immortal by the blood of heroes, and tho shoulder straps were worn with a due but not exagger ated realization of tho responsibilities they implied. Ho became a second lieu tenant on Sept. 24, 1802. Ho was pro moted to first lieutenant Feb, 7, ikiV-i. His commission as captain bears date July 25, 1804. Tho brevet rank of major was con fcrred by President Lincoln ' 'for gal lant and meritorious services at tho bat tles of Opequan, Fisher's Creek and Cedar Hill. M Ho was with Sheridan in the Shenandoah campaign; was at Winchester, Cedar Creek, Fisher's Hill, Opequan, Kerns town, Floyd Mountain and Berryville, whero his horse was shot freni under him, and in all the battles in which tho Twenty-third par ticipated. He served en the staffs cf Generals Hayes, Crook, Hancock and Carroll. Ho was mustered cut with the regiment July 20, 1803, after moro than four years' continuous service. M'KINLEY AS A LAWYER. He Wanted to Continue Ills Military Ca reer, but Ills 1'arents Objected. When tho war closed, McKinley vras just 22. Ho was full of youthful en thusiasm and ardor, and ho returned to his heme in Ohio fully expecting to ac cept tho flattering offer mado him of a commission in the regular army. But to this his parents offered strong opposition. They pointed out tho small rewards to honor anel ambition that come to tho soldier in time of peace. At length ho yielded to their persuasions and reluctantly gave up his dreams cf martial glory and bent his mind upon the pursuits of peace. The war had made a man of him and ended all thought cf a collegiate career. Ho cast about for a profession, and naturally, considering tho bent of his mind, he choso the law. He became a student in tho offices of Charles E. Glidcea and David Wilson, then leaders, of tho Ma honing county bar. Ho supplemented his reading by taking the courso at the Albany Law school, and in 1807 was admitted to tho practice. Ho located at Canton, where ho formed a partnership with Judgo Belden. He was an excellent advocate, even in theso early years, and made somo of the best jury arguments ever mado at tho Stark county bar. At tho time he was first elected to congress he enjoyed one of the leading places and one of tho best general practices in the county. As a lawyer Mr. McKinley was al ways thorough and careful in the prepa ration of cases. He had tho confidence f everybody and soon became particularly prominent as an advocate. He preparer' himself by thorough courses of readh:; for his public career. Ho is much Garfield was in this respect and pos sesses elements of Etrength by reason of his thorough study of political subjects. He seems to have had in view from tho beginning the devotion of his life to public service. During all his early pro fession years he was an active partici pant in Republican campaigns and early gave evidence of tLo power he has since developed as a public speaker and ora tor. Tho plan of his political speaking has always been the same. He first thor oughly masters tho subject iu hand and then presents it forcibly. M'KINLEY'S POLITICAL CAREER. Ills Work aa Congressman, Tariff Special ist and Governor of Ohio. Major McKinley was but 33 years old when he was elected by the peoplo of his district to represent them in con gress. Thero ho soon mado his mark, anel was returned at each subsequent election until that of 1890, in which year a gerrymander of his district de feated him by a majority of only 302. This wa3 tho culminating one of several efforts on the part of tho Democratic legislature to gerrymander McKinley out of congress. Whilo in congress he served on tho commit tco on revision cf 'laws, tho ju diciary committee, tho committeo on expenditures in the postoffico elcpart ment and the committeo on rules. When General Garfield received tho nomination for tho presidency, Mr. Mc Kinley was assigned to tho vacancy on tho committee on ways and means. Ho served on tho last mentioned committeo until tho expiration of his last term as representative. Whilo chairman of this committeo he framed tho McKinley bill, which afterward becamo a law and which still bears his iiamo. McKinley was a protego of ex-President Hayes, anel up to the time of tho latter's death ho recognized the ex president as his ad riser and counselor. He was in GencrM. . Haves' regiment during the rebellion. General Hayes knew him and his father well, and saw in the dashing young cavalier tho germ of greatness. Ho needed a counselor, ah adviser, a friend, and General Hayes watched over him with tho filial love, devotion and prido of a father. Tho war ended, McKinley still rcr maincd an object of hope, of interest and pridp to General Hayes. McKinley becamo a Candida to for congress and was elected. When Hayes was president, McKinley was in tho houso of represent atives; The major was a frequent wel come visitor at tho White House. One day the president gave McKinley ad vice, which mado McKinley tho fore most thampion of a protective tariff. President Hayes thus spoko to the young representative-: ' ' "To achieve success and famo you must . pursuo a special line. You must not make a spec ix on every motion of fered or bill introduced. You must con fine yourself to e.:;o particular thing. Become a specialist. Take up soirio branch of- legislation and make that your study. Why net tako up tho subject if tariff? Behjg a subject that will, not be settled for years to come, it offers a great field for study and a chanco for ultimate fame." ; With theso words ringing in his ears McKinley began studying the tariff and soon became thd 'foremost authority on the gnbtoet. ..... ----V3 JMWf ........ M'KINLEY AT Tlili DEC INNING OV UI3 LEGAL CAHEEK. Tho day upon which tho "McKinley tariff bill" was passed in tho houso must always stand as tho supremo mo ment of McKinley's congressional ca reer. Tho bill, by adroit parliamentary generalship which had prevented it from being weighted down with amend ments not approved by tho committee, had been brought under the operation of tho previous qnesticn. It stood complete, reaay ro go iortn ror good or evil. Upon McKinley devolved tho task cf smooth ing its path and speeding it upon its way. The cccasicn, thoroughly advertised, attracted to tho capitol an immense thrcug. Tha galleries wero one mass of humanity and tho anticipation of tho voto hail compellcel tho atteuelanco of ev ery member. As usual, McKinley spoko without notes. His voice, penetrating but net harsh, filled tho chamber. Every sentence was as solid as the granito in the eternal hills. Never was an orator moro freo from tho ordinary claptrap than McKinley. So true is this that tho incident when he suddenly drew from beneath his desk tho suit of clothes which he purchased for $10 at tho es tablishment of a fellow representative in Boston, in order to demonstrate the, cheapness of wearing apparel, stands out in all its loneliness with vivid distinct ness. It was this earnestness and self con viction that made McKinley's address in tho house and on tho stump so effective. Indeed tho occasion is still recalled when he held an audience- o! Georgia peoplo for two hours at a Chautauqua assembly near Atlanta whilo ho preached to them the glories of the protective tariff sys tem. "It vras only by the greatest self control," said Henry W. Grady, speak ing of this event afterward, "that I re strained myself from rising as McKinley concluded his wonderful speech and de claring myself henceforth ready to fol low him as a disciple. " m'kinley'b father. James G. Blaine, in his "Twenty Years of Congress," reviews the Forty fifth congress, in which McKinley first sat, as follows: "William McKinley, Jr., entered frcm tho Canton district Ho enlisted in an Ohio regiment when but 17 year3 old and won tho rank of major by meritorious service. Tho inter est tf his constituency and his own bent of mind led him to tho study cf indus trial questions, and ho was soon recog nized in tho house as ono of the most thorough statisticians and ono of tho ablest defenders of tho doctrino .of pro tection. " At a great mass meeting in Indianapo lis several years ago ex-President Har rison was presiding officer. McKinley was one of tho speakers, and Harrison introduced him as follows : "He has endeared himself to all by his record a3 a gallant young soldier battling for the flag. Ho has honored himself, his stato and tho country by his conspicuous services in high legislative and executivo places. No man moro than he is familiar with tho questions that now engago public thought. No man is moro able, than ho lucidly to set them before tho people. I do not need to in voko your attention to what ho shall say. He will command it " The sentiment which resulted in the nomination of McKinley for governor of Ohio was engendered immediately upon tho announcement of the result of tho election of 1890, when after 14 years' continuous servico in congress tho Ohio statesman was defeated for re-election, despito tho fact that he cut down the Democratic majority from 2,000 to 302. During his gubernatorial campaign in 1893 McKinley visited 80 of the 88 coun ties of Ohio and mado 130 speeches. Ho was elected by a plurality of 80,995, up to that timo tho record plurality in Ohio's history. Tho policy which Governor McKinley pursued during his four years of occu pancy of the gubernatorial chair was well outlined when in his inaugural ad dress he said: "It is my desire to co operate with you in every endeavor to secure a wise, economical and lionorablo administration, and, so far as can bo done, tho improvement and elevation of tho publio service," From tho day of his inauguration Governor McKinley took the greatest in terest in tho management of tho publio penevott institutions of tho state, and ne made a st&Zy of moans for their bet terment Dnrlnff nlstest ierra tho state 1 board cf arbitration was created, and ru mado the wi-rkings of tho board a mat ter of personal supervision during tho entire four years of his administration. This board has had its services enlisted in 28 strikes, and in 15 cases its efforts have boon successful. Ko uccount of McKinley's connection with labor problems would bo completo without some mention of tho tireless energy which ho displayed in securing relief fur tho 2.C00 mint rs in tho Hock ing valley mining district who early in 1895 wcro reported out of work and eles titute. The news first camo to the gov ernor one night at midnight, but befcro 5 o'clock in tho morning ho had upon his own responsibility dispatched to the afllicted district a car containing $1,000 worth of provisions. Later he mado ap peals for assistance and finally distri-' buted among tho 2,732 families in tho district clothing and provisions to the amount of $32,790.95. M'KINLEY'S HOME LIFE. Ills Wife Is an Invalid, but Sho Aids Him Iu Ills Work. Major McKinley's homo life is very happy, despite the fact that his wifo is an invalid. Mrs. McKinley was Miss Ida Saxton, daughter of James and Mary Saxton of Canton, O. She. received an excellent education when a girl, spent somo timo abroad and becamo her fa ther's assistant in his bank, whero it was said that her fair faco attracted bouquets and bank notes to tho window. "Sho must bo trained," said her father, "to buy her own bread if necessary, and not to sell herself to matrimony." Sho had many suitors, but Major Mc Kinley, then a rising young lawyer, vanquished all rivalry, removed tho young woman from tho cashier's win dow and won from honest James Saxton theso words when tho hand of tho daugh ter was gained : "You are tho only man I havo ever known to whom I would intrust my daughter. ' ' Mrs. McKinley has always assisted her husband in polities. Her ill health has in no wiso deterred her from enjoy ing tho political lienors ho has won, nor has it prevented her from being a wiso counselor. Her presence has timo and again served as an inspiration to her husband. When political preferment first camo to f ormer Governor McKinley, it was his wife who convinced him that he should accept. Sho believed implicit ly in his talents, and that his servico would bo for tho good of tho stato she was certain. Sho has never wavered in her faith in her husband's convictions, and consequently sho is a protectionist and believes tho country must havo a protective tariff law. She has confidenco in him, not only as a publio official, but as a man. Her ill ness has been overcomo by her affection, and sho has traveled thousands of miles when sho was weak in body merely that sho might bo near him. Sho has encour aged him by word, look and presence, and ho has in knightly stylo rcturncil tho favors and reciprocated tho sacred affection. Her homo lifo has been short, for cut of tho 25 years of married life more than 20 havo been passed by her husband in tho publio service. Sho has lived in hotels, doubtless a sourco of re gret, sinco her" fragilo body mado it moro than imperative that sho should have a quiet place. Sho has never com plained, but has urged Governor Mc Kinley to push forward in his public ca reer. Mrs. McKinley spends most of her timo in a cozy apartment on tho second floor, and much of her leisure is devoted to crocheting thoso dainty littlo slippers which havo so many times brought sun shine into gloomy hospital wards in va rious parts of tho country. It is said that she has knitted over 4,000 pairs of theso slippers in her 20 years of invalid life. In appearance. Mrs. McKinley is of medium height, with brown hair and large deep blue, eyes. Although an in- M'KINLEY'S MOTHER. valid, she makes and receives calls and often goes on shopping tours. Mrs. McKinley cares littlo for dress, al though her toilets are always in excel lent taste. Her faco fcetrays a faint languor, sug gestivo of tho invalid, but it is fair and bears a stamp of beauty, in spite of the 49 years she carries. Her ill health dates from girlhood. As a student she with difficulty undertook the studies of tho course, by reason of this condition, but with constant caro and frequent 'medical attention she ' overcame a.'.l trouble suf ficiently to enjoy lifo and to taste of its pleasures. Her actual invalidism dates from tho birth of their second child, in 1871. This child died in it3 infancy and was followed by tho first child, a daugh ter of 8 years, a short timo afterward. Her mother also dieel about this time, Theso sorrows wero more than bIio .could bear, and sho has never recovered. At present in appearance and in actual health her condition is better than for several years previous. A littlo story of McKinley's home acts while governor may bo of interest. No less than his attention to his wife, his thought and caro for his mother, particularly since his father's death in 1892, have attracted comment It had been his custom whilo at home in Can W xm ton to take his mother to church each Sunday morning. When h went to Co lumbus as governor he determined to keep up tho practice as much us peb ble, and unless tho press of publio busi ness was very great he always slipped quietly over to Can ten from the stale capital on Sunday mornings and walked to church with his muther on his arm. The next train would carry him t Co lumbus, where his wife awaited his coming. Naturally tho mother looks with prido on such a son, and sho fol lows with keen interest "the progress of his presidential canvass. v A Remarkable Cure of Rheumatism.

Cline, who lives on tho corner of Perrine ami Pearl Streets, Jackson, Mich., has for two years been troubled with Indiges tion and nervous prostration, her heart would appur:ntly stop beating. SI13 would suffer great pain, in fact, she honestly thought she was going to die. Her troubles wore brought ou by a severe attack of la prlppe. Sleep wu nearly a stranger to her for all this time, and life had become a burden to her until she waa advised by friendly neighbors who had used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to give them a trial, which she did, and it would be hard to find a more grateful woman in Michigan than Mrs. C. II. Cline, as prominent physicians had given her up, while to-day she is ablo to do her own work and is as pleasant a little body ut one would like to visit. Sho used three Pink Pills a day only, the last ono just before retiring, which always insured her a good night's rest. Mrs. Cline is only thirty years old and could ill afford to let her life slowly ebbavay. It is difficult for ono to describe her ailments but we can say to all afflicted that if they will cull or write to Mrs. Cline they M ill not only be thoroughly convinced of the merits of these little friends, for sho persists in calling them such, but she will also tell you of her marvelous cure, and wo can guarantee that sha will convince you that she owes her life to day to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills which alio would not bo without for its weight in gold. This evidence is only a repetition of what all people say who have tried this wonderful remedy. It's as faithful a friend as one could ossibly introduce into their household, never ailinjf. always reliable in times of great suffer ing and danger. Now to show how sincere she was sh mentioned that sho induced her hus band, Mr. C. H. Cline, to try the remedy, verybodv around here knows the affable and efficient Charlie who tor the last ten years has. bsen in tho employ of tho Michigan Central Railroad and who was sorely atHicted with ex cruciating pains in the client and also with one of the severest attacks of seiatic rheuniatlsm, tho most dreaded despoiler of home comforts.

Constipa tion is one of the commonest things in the world. It is really one of the most seri ous things. Fully nine-tenths of all the ordinary sickness of mankind is due to ' this one cause. If you place an obstruc tion in the gutter, it will stop the flow of ' water, and giwdually a mass of poison-: ous, putrefying matter will accumulate. , That is exactly what happens in J.he digestive organs when constipation be gins. Toisonous matter accumulates and is forced into the blood. It goes all over the body and causes all sorts of symp toms. A few of these are dizziness, fiatu- lence, heartburn, palpitation, headaches, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, foul breath, distress after eating, biliousness and erup tions of the skin. These things are un pleasant, but they are not serious. The serious things come afterward. Doctor Pierce's I'leasant Pellets are for the cure of constipation. They are tiny, 6ugar- coated granules, easy to take, mild and efficient in their action. One is a gentle laxative, two a mild cathartic. There is nothing else in the world like them.'...

This engineer, John Lynch, has had u wide experience on the rail, and his head never fuils him in an emergency, ' ' One day lust winter Mr. Lambert caught cold after an unusually ltard run through the keen, bitter cold air, and the next day, when stooping to shovel coal into the furnace, was suddenly taken with severe pains in his back. These pains increased so that work was impos sible, anil the young fireman had to leave hi locomotive and go home. Engineer Lynch had advised his comrade to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, saying he had been entirely cured of a severe illness by them. At last, when Mr. Lambert was so crippled with pain in his back and sides that ho could scarcely drag himself about the house, lie asked Jus mother to buy him somo of the pills. This she did. Before the sufferer had taken one box lie began to experience relief, and fouic boxes made him so well that he has worked on''"' his locomotive every day since without once having a return of the pain which made him so great a sufferer. x Mr. Lambert told tho story of his cure to a reporter who called at his home No. fo.j West Forty-eighth Street, New York, saying he hoped other people would be bene fited us he had been by taking Dr. Williams' wonderful medicine. He said he would never lose an opportunity to recommend these pills to his friends.
