McKinney, county assessor, died at the home of Wilson Leichty, south of the , city last Eriday afternoon at four o’clock of abcess of the liver. He was taken suddenly ill August 3d while at work at the court house.

He was one of the highly esteemed citizeus of Monroe township where he had always followed the occupation of a farmer. He was born in Bussell county, Kentucky, April 18, 1846, and came to Indiana when he was> thirteen years of age and has since been a resident of Monroe township. The remains were taken to his >* home in Monroe township the same night and on Saturday the funeral and burial services w ere conducted, which were largely attended by his numerous friends in the county. Prevented a Tragedy. Timely prevention given .MrS. George Long, of Newstraitsville, Ohio, prevented a dreadful tragedy and saved two lives. A frightful cough had long kept her awake every night. She had tried many remedies and doctors but steadily grew worse until urged to try Dr. King’s New Discovery.

At the breaking out of hostilities with Spain, he enlisted in Company K., 3rd Nebraska, (Col. Bryan's) regiment. While in camp at Jacksonville, Florida, he had a severe attack of Florida fever from which he never entirely recovered. He was discharged for disability at Jacksonville and sought to regain his health in New Mexico and Colorado, returning to Nebraska in the summer of ’99 where he taught school till obliged to give it up on account of his health. He had great love for the soldiers of our country, and his poem entitled; “When the boys get back from the Philippines” expressed this sentiment so well that 'it was published in the Denver News and copied in the Plymouth News and quite extensively by other western papers. He requested to be buried in his uniform, wrapped in the flag of his country for which he gave his life and laid to rest in the Old Plymouth cemetery, the Grand . Army Post using their beautiful ritual ceremony. —^Plymouth, Neb., News. A 20-Pound Baby Can take Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin with as much safety and beneficial results as an adult.

Call for Troops. To the Democrat* of Indiana: William J. Bryan, Adlai E. Stevenson, James K. Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee, and W. U. Hearst, president of the national association of democratic clubs, have issued a signed call urging all; citizens of the U nited States who are willing to support the Kansas City platform to meet in their respective communities on Saturday evening, September 1, 11)00, for the purpose of organizing city or precinct democratic clubs where such clubs have not already been organized. The call also requests that when a club is organized the secretary at once send to W. It. Hearst, president of the national association of democratic clubs. 1370 Broadway, New York City, the name of the club, roster of officers, date of organization and number of members. In view of this call and of the great importance of club organization in the work of the campaign, I urge upon all supporters of our cause in Indiana to meet at the time and places designated to take the action requested. And I also ask that the secretaries of all democratic clubs, whether organized on the date specified or previously, shall, in addition to sending the information asked to Mr. Hearst, also send the same to the democratic state committee, 34 Lombard building, Indianapolis.

Senator Mason of Illinois, who has just returned from a trip to Alaska, is very sore over the action of the Secretary of State in the Alaska boundary matter. He said: “Secretary of State Hay is anything but an American and he, has committed an act fox1 which he will be called to account in the next cougress. Fifty- ! seven years ago the United States bought from Kussia certaiu territory in the North, and that territory has been held a^d protected by our government fur more than a half century. Andylhen for Secretary flay to concede'ierritory and haul down the flag in favor of England, although ^ejjjfmrary. is the worst of all. The American policy, which is well fixed, is to never give up a foot of land that has been honorably obtained, and this policy should most certainly be followed in Alaska. ‘“It is anything but a pleasant experience to have American miners come with tears in their eyes and show where they were ruined by the fact that the protection of the flag had been taken from them and they had been placed under the Dominion of the Britisher. There is no excuse for the situation in the Northwest;"
