OTcekls JStidhuI, FCBLISHIP IVIBY BATUXDAT BT E- A. SSILLMAN. BATPBDAT, 81PTBMBEB 81, »01. William McKinley, twenty-fifth President of the United States, died at Buffalo, New York, at 2:15 last Saturday morning from the effects of an assassin’s bullet. When the offi cial announcement of the President’s death was made in Eureka, although not unexpected, it was received with profound sorrow in this community, and expressions of regret were beard on every hand. The Court House and school house flags were run up at half mast and several of the business bouses in Eureka draped their places in mourning. William McKinley was born at Niles, Trumbull county, Ohio, Janu ary 29, 1843. His ancestors were Scotch-Irish and Puritan*. He was educated in the public schools at Niles, Union Seminary, at Poland, Ohio, and Allegheny College at Meadvilie, Penn sylvania. Before attaining his major ity he taught in the public schools. At the beginning of the Civil War in 1861, Mr. McKinley volunteered as a private in the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served until mustered out in 1865. He represented Ohio in the Lower House of Congress for nearly fourteen years, was twice elected Governor of Ohio, and in 1896 was elected President of the United States. In 1900 he was the unanimous choice of his party for a second term, upon which he entered on the 4th of last March. On January 25, 1871, he married Misa Ida Saxton. Two daughters were born to him, both of whom died in childhood. That he faced the inevitable with courage and resignation was expressed in the last words spoken by him to his heart-broken wife as he pressed her hands before relapsing into uncon sciousness: "God’s will, not ours, be done.” The funeral took place at Canton, Ohio, last Thursday. The untimely death of President McKinley recalls forcibly to mind— “ Tis the flash of an eye, ’tis the draught of a breath. From the fullness of life to the stillness of death; From the gilded salon to the bier and the shroud— Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud !" CAUSE or DEATH. The physicians held an antopsy upon the body of President McKinley last Saturday afternoon and issued the fol lowing report: “The bullet which struck over the breast bone did not pass through the skin and did little harm. The other bullet passed through both wallsof 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 gangrenous. “After passing through the stomach, the bullet passed into the back walls of the abdomen, hitting and tearing the upper end of the kidney. This por tion of the bullet’s track was also gan grenous, tbe gangrene involving the pancreas. The bullet has not yet been found. “There was no sign of peritonitis or disease of other organs. The heart walls were very thin. There was no evidence of any at tempt at repair on the part of nature, and death resulted from the gangrene which affected the stomach around the bullet wounds, as well as the tissues around the further course of the bullet, i Death was unavoidable by any surgical or medical treatment, and was the di rect result of tbe bullet wound.” The report of the autopsy has given rise to the theory hinted at a day or two after the President was shot, that Csolgoss, in order to insure tbe accom plishment of his purpose, poisoned the bullets fired. The gangrene found in the path of the bullet is thought to be strong evidence in support of this view by Dr. Wasdin, one of the con sulting physicians. Dr. Wasdin is con sidered an expert of high standing in the Marine Hospital Service. President Roosevelt having by proc lamation designated Thursday. Sep tember 19, as a day of mourning and prayer throughout the United States when the body of the late President McKinley should be laid in its last resting place, Governor Sadler, under date of September 16, supplemented it with an earnest recommendation that the people of Nevada observe and re spect the day named in the manner suggested by President Roosevelt. Ormsby's County Commissioners allowed a physician $600 ior attending two smallpox patients. CRtllltll fOBPiBT TBOtBLBi That a rapture baa occurred in the management of the affairs of the Chainman Mining Company,operating at Ely, White Pine county, is a fact of which there is now no longer any doubt. What has caused this trouble, from what we bare been able to learn, is a case of too many bosses, and each having an idea as to how the affairs of the company should be managed, dia metrically opposed to the other. The first intimation that things were not going along smoothly with the Chainman Company was noted when General Manager K. J. Davison left for the East on the 20th of last August for the purpose of consulting with some of the directors and stockholders of the company with reference to certain dif ferences which arose a short time pre vious to bis departure. Prior to the advent of Mr. Davison, clothed with the authority of General Manager, L. F. Shepherd was the Superintendent in charge, while Fred D. Smith was the chemist and accredited Mill Su perintendent. That these two gentle men had SQbt worked in harmony for several months was notorious, and when Mr. Davison appeared on the scene this was the condition with which be was confronted. Mr. Davi son himself was also drawn into the controversy, and he made an attempt to oust Mr. Shepherd from his posi tion, but it then developed that the Superintendent had been engaged for a stated period and could only be dis charged by paying him his salary up to that time. The rupture became so open that affairs around the Chainman were allowed to drift along apparently without a head to direct operations. There ia in course of construction on the Cbainraan ground a magnificent combination mill. It waB to have been completed and running by the first of the present month. It is fur ther stated that the stockholders of the company and the people of Ely are to be congratulated that it was not in running order by the time specified in the contract. A positive statement is made by one who visited the under ground workings of the mine three different times in five months that during all that time little, if any, work had been done in any portion of the mine; not a ton of ore had been extracted and not an effort made to get any portion of the mine in readiness for taking out ore of any grade. And during that time every effort was being made to hurry the mill to completion by September 1. Mr. Davison returned to Ely from his trip East last week, and it is now stated that information has been re ceived from the stockholders of the company in the East to the effect that both Superintendent Shepherd and Mill Superintendent Smith have been retired. Theodore Roosevelt took the official oath of office at Buffalo, N. Y., as President of the United States on Sat urday, Sept. 14. He then stated that it waB his intention to carry out the policy outlined by the late President McKinley. Although the new Presi dent fs but 43 years of age, he has for some time been considered as some thing more than a Presidential possi bility. His administration of the office of Governor of New York was so satisfactory that the Republican leaders of that State were among his most active supporters in the National Convention of 1900 for the Vice Presi dential nomination. Fir* *1 Well*. A disastrous fire occured at Wells last Saturday night in which a young man named Fred Thompson, 19 years of age, was burned to death in at tempting to escape from one of the burning buildings. The total loss is estimated at about $20,000. The fire broke out about half past 10 o’clock Saturday night in a tie house,used as a washroom and place to feed Indians in the rear of George Allen’s restau rant and lodging house, and spread so rapidly that the family of Mr. Allen barely escaped with their lives.

' E. R. KEEN, M. D., Proprietor Easy to Teat. Virginia Report: If the theory of Prof. C. N. Van Ness is correct that gold and silver were deposited in great fissures like that of the Comstock lode in a molten state, the greater specific gravity of gold would naturally cause it to settle to the greatest depth to which the fissure extends. Carson News: The News believes it would be an easy theory to test. Ttie old and somewhat generally ac cepted theory that gold-bearing ledges were deposited in a molten state, is now known to be incorrect. They are the deposits from water. The test is a simple one. Quartz deposited by crystallization from waters, is we be lieve, of greater specific gravity than quartz that has never been melted. This test will disapprove the molten theory in 999 cases out of 1000.
