Letter from a Former Resident of
Cameron County.
OSKALOOSA, IOWA, Aug. 2d, 1901.
MR. ALMKRON CHAPMAN,
Emporium, Pa.,
DEAU Sin AND 880. -Your lettor of I
the 26th, nit,, wuh indeed a pl«want
surprise. It was pleasant to think thn.f
from your boybcod you carried a reool
lection of the somewhat transient ac
quaintance I bad with your family. But
I remember your folks very well, unci
I think I can yet see the little old church !
on the hill side there at Pine street. I |
remember an incident that I think was |
connected with one of your brothers.
I am not quite sure, but I think it was
him. lie wanted to make a corner
cupboard, and did not know exactly
how to lay it out, or the proper pro
portions for it, so he spoke to mo
about it ono day, and I told iiim I could
lay it off for him, which I did, and we
both worked at it and finished it up all
OK. I expect if that cupboard is in
existence yet my name will bo found
somewhere pencilled on it. I suppose
as you say, I would hardly recognize
the country now. I remember a placo
I thinu just below Pine street where
the creek veers to the south, and the
road went over the neck of the ridge.
I think an old Bro. Wiley, if I have the
name right, lived on the farm between
the road and the creek, on the bottom.
Somehow 1 discovered cno day that the
hills south of the creek there were so
conformed that the voice waa echoed
back very clearly to the road. I think
I discovered it by ha. pening to bo sing
ing as I passed along there. And after
wards I seldom went past there without
waking those echoes as I rodo by. I
have a recollection of ii number of in.
cidents of that year. One day in the
fall as I was riding over the very rough
road across the hills from Karthaus to
the First Fork, all of a sudden my horse
shied and almost threw me. In a mo
ment I heard a growl and looking
around as soon as I could control the
horse, there close by the road in the
laurel was a mother bear, wir.h two
good sizsd cubs by her side. In the
winter, crossing from the Ben net's
branch to the river, up west of Cale
donia, a snow storm came on. It was
snowing before I started, but not fast,
but it was over 20 miles without a house
across the hills, and after I was on the
road awhile it seemed as if the bottom
fell out of the clouds. The snow got
deep and drifted fast. My horse got
wearied and could hardly go, and I
thought I would hardly make it. But
I came to a log cabiu where a settler
had begun a clearing in the woods, and
I was hardly ever so glad to s? j e a human
habitation. I asked if I could have
shelter, and the man said iff could put
up with what they had I was welcome.
So he cared for ray beast, and I stayed
there about three days before venturing
further, anc we lived on buckwheat
cakes, pot a tea without salt, and some
very rancid fat bacon.
I have had it in mind some day to
take a trip and visit some of those old
scenes, but I cannot tell yet when. I
was through there once on the cars in
the 70's. It was moonlight and I went
•in the platform at Emporium and rode
that way to First Fork, but could see
little then that I recognized. Are the
Sizers, or any of the 013 peopla there
yet ? There was old Brother Morrison
:on the creek west of Portage. I used
think much of them. Remember
; me to your folks and let me hear from
, yen again.
I suppose you remember Brothers
Fulton and Pattison, who were with
me that year on the work; both are
dead. I met Pattison in Chicago at
I the Oenerat Conference of 1868. He
. then lived in Michigan, but wont to
I Florida and died there. His wife was
| a Miss Mead, who lived on Bennets
j Branch.
Yours,
E. 11. WARING.

President Now Able to Take Nourish
ment Through the Mouth
BUFFALO, Sept. 11.—The following
bulletin was issued by the president's
physicians at 10:30 last night:
The condition of the president is un
changed in all important particulars. His
temperature is 100.0; pulse 114; respira
tion "S.
When the operation was done on Fri
day last it was thought the bullet had
carriud with it a short distance beneath
the skin a fragment of the president's
coat. This foreign material was, of
course, removed, but a slight irritation of
the tissues was produced, the evidence
of which, lias appeared only tonight. It
has been necessary on account of this
slight disturbance to remove a few
stitches and partially open the skin
wound.
This incident cannot give rise to other
complications, but it is communicated
to tl; public as the surgeons in attend
ance wish to make their bulletins en
tirely frank. In consequence of this
separation of the edges of the surface
wound the healing of the same will be
somewhat delayed.
The president is now well enough to
begin to take nourishment by the mouth
in the form of pure beef juice.

The length of the consultation had

that : 1 Meßurncy. who had intended
to leave tor Stock bridge, Conn., at 11:20,

tended anything serious,
BUFFALO, Supt. 11.—The corps of
eminent surgeons and physicians in at
tendance upon the wounded president
commit themselves without reservation to
the opinion that their patient is out of
danger and that only the possibility of
complications threatens his life.
They do not give assurance of his re
covery collectively, over their signature.-
in an official bulletin—<hat is nior.

But they have gone a long way toward
it individually and separately. Each of
them, with the exception of Dr. Rixey,
who did not leave the Mllburn residence
yesterday, placed himself squarely on re
eord. not privately, to the friends of the
president, but publicly, through the
agency of the press, that the danger
point had parsed and that the president
would survive the attempt upon his life.
"Of course we will all feel easier when
a week has pps-sed" said Dr. Mcßurney,
the dean of the corps. "We would like
to see every doer locked and double
locked but the danger from possible com
plications is now very remote."
As 1111 evidence of the supreme faith
he holds, Dr. Mcßurney after the morn
ing consultation yesterday, made a trip to
Niagara Falls.
The little piece of lead in the muscles
of the back is giving the physicians no
concern whatever. Unless it should prove
troublesome t-> the president later oil he
probably will ca/rv this grim souvenir
of the enurchist with him to the end of
his days. The doctors say that once
encysted it can do no harm. Thousands
of men are today walking the earth in
J perfect lit alth with much larger chunks
!of lea l in their I od-es. The X-ray ma
chine is ready for instant use, however,
anil if there is t.'ie slightest inflammation
or pain in the vicinity of the bullet, an
operation will be performed.
I'reslelou'V Itceuperatlvo Powers.
| The president's physicians have been
| impressed with his remarkable recuper
} ative powers and the rapidity of his jm
| provement. Ordinarily an incision for
such an operation as was performed
upon the chief executive should heal
Within throe weeks but in the president's
ease it may be .strong enough for hiui
to be moved a little sooner.
The president will be taken direct to
Washington as soon as it is safo to
move liini.
Within the sick room many evidences
of the president's improvement nre ap
parent. The president himself began to
show confidence in his ability to care for
himself and from time to time he would
carefully turn himself and gain a more
restful position. Mnnday he took the
precaution to ask if he might be permit
ted to move, but now he changes his posi
tion at his own volition, without diffi
culty. The nurses naturally observe
with care these evidences of growing
strength and courage and are ready to
see that "there is ho lindue tar on the
president's strength or tho straining of
the wound. These slight movements
from side to side are all that he is at
tempted thus far and it is too early yet
to think of his sitting up in bed or any
other marked use of his muscles.
A most important development of tho
day was a private determination reached
among those in charge of the case that
food should be administered to the presi
dent today by the inouth. Not since the
shooting has a morsel of food been given
to the president by natural means, but
the drain on his system has been met by
dissolved foods administered by injec
tion. There has been a period of four
days of fasting from ordinary means
of nourishment and today is the fifth
day. The importance of this feeding
by the mouth is that it will restore the
normal action of the stomach for the
first time siuce that organ had both its
walls pierced by a bullet. The doctors
•re sntified that the time has come to
renew these normal functions, and the
four days which have elapsed since the
wounds in the stomach were closed give
every assurance that the sutures are
sufficiently healed to allow nature to re
sume her sway.
Although the house was fairly embow
ered with flowers yesterday, sent as tok
ens of sympathy and gratitude, none of
the sweet scented blossoms were taken
to the president's chamber. The most
rigid system of simplicity prevails there
and sentimenit is not allowed to qualify
the stern requirements of the ease. The
only persons admitted to the sick room
other than the doctors and attendants
are Mrs. McKinley and Secretary Cor
telyou.
Visitors Still Excluded.
Although pronounced out of danger no
member of the cabinet has yet been
within the sickroom nor has the vice
president or those closest to the con
fidence of the president, such as Sena
tor Hanna and Judge Day, seen the pres
ident. Hiit these restrictions were es
tablished by the doctors merely for the
sake of encouraging every particle of
energy in the patient, and relatives and
friends alike accept the rigorous policy
as decidedly for the best. Secretary Cor
telyou sees the president much as the
doctors and nurses do. There is never
a breath of business, public or private,
and ut no time lias there been the slight
est reference to anything connected with
the president's duties.
Each succeeding bulletin leads to
expressions of pleasure from those with
in the household that the deliberations
of so many eminent doctors have been
marked by complete unanimity. There
has been no division in the councils at
any time. Em-h lias loyally seconded the
efforts of the others and all have joined
in carrying out the masterly work done
by Dr. Mann immediately following the
shooting.
In referring to this one of the presi
dent's associates who was present at the
operation said Dr. Mann displayed his
consummate skill and calmness by going
about the operation as if the patient was
a child with a slight complaint. And
yet Dr. Mann has siuce told a friend
that when he realized the duty before
aim. although he had performed hundreds
of operations of laporatomy, he would
have sacrificed all he possessed to have
escaped tho terrible responsibility of
operating upon the president of the
United States.
ExoduH of Dignitaries.
T'jc vie; pres'dent. members of the
cabinet, Senator Ilanna and tho other
distinguished frierds of the pres'.J >it
who have r< mained here to await the
issue, accepted tin; verdict of the phy
sicians as practically conclusive and
there was an exodus of those who con
sidered their presence no longer neces
sary. Senator Hanna returned to Cleve
land on business, to be gone two days and
Controller Dawes went back to Wash
ington last night. Aimer McKinley, the
president's brother, will remain a few
days longer, but his family have returned
home and Mrs. Duncan and several
other relatives of the president have
gone. Judge Day, long associated with
the president, returned to Canton yes
terday. The five members of the cabinet
still here will remain a few days, rather
as friends who have been intimately as
sociated with the president for years
than as public officials.
Vice President Itoosevelt left the "Ity
last night at 9:30 for Oyster Bay, per
fectly confident that the president \Till
recover. So confident was he, in
fact, that when a question of doubt
was put to him he answered it with a
parry. He was asked: "Do you re
member that President Garfield pro
gressed for 10 days and then just when
he was ready to get out he collapsed and
finally died?"
Quick as thought the vice president
answered: "Ah, but you forget 20 years
of modern surgery, of progress. From
what ! can learn also th 6 Garfield wound
was much more serious than the wound
of President McKiuley. F believe that
the president will recover and I hope it
so thoroughly that I leave here tonight.
Questioned as to the mode of pro
cedure so far as lli stab was eoucerned
he said: "I see no need for the calling of
an extraordinary grand jury. The grand
jury now in session composed of Ainerl

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY.
Thepliysicians found a slight irritation
about the exterior wound, due to a
foreign substance, and it was decided
to remove that irritation.
The doctors appeared at the house
early in the evening at the time for
the usual consultation, but it was
nearly mid-night before the consulta
tion was finished.
Nothing was heard from the house
until 6 a. m. Wednesday when the fol
lowing bulletin was issued:
"The President j asiod a yei*y com
fortable night. Pulse, 120; tempera
ture 100.2; respiration, 26."
Drs. Rixley and Wasdin and Secre
tary Cortelyou signed this bulletin.
The irritation was not in any way the
result even or a suggestion of blood
poisoning, and the physicians declared
over their own signatures that it could
not result in complications. The open
ing of the wound was in no sense an
operation. Several of the stitches
were simply taken out, and after a
thorough antiseptic washing of the in
flamed tissue, the wound was again
sewed up.
