Todays News from the  Bedside.
BUFFALO,    September    12.—The
condition of tbe president continues
favorable.     IS orbing ■ has occurred to
, shake the faith the attending sur-
*geons and physicians have expressed
that he will recover.
The danger from two sources is pronounced practically over. The holes
in the stomach, caused by the perforation of the bullet, are now considered
healed by Dr. McBurney and his associates, and the eminent surgeon
points to tbe fact that the beef juice,
fed to the patient last night, was
really digested, as proof of this. Sufficient time has also elapsed to warrant
the doctors in asserting that the
danger of inflammation where tbe bullet lodged bas disappeared.
It is believed that the ball has now
become encysted in the muscles of the
back, and unless its location should
prove troublesome later on there will
never be any necessity ol removing it.

CLARE'S SORROW FOR McKlN-
LEY.
News of the Attempted Assassination Made Profound Impression Here,   •
The first news of the shooting of
President McKinley last Friday afternoon came to Senator Doherty in a
private'phone message from Detroit
within a half an hour after the crime
was committed. He at once called up
every place in town that had a telephone and sent messengers down Main
street to tell the people. Citizens
almost refused to believe the report-
there must be a mistake somewhere;
but confirmatory dispatches were
received within a minute or two by
telegraph and telephone and then the
announcement came that the President was dead.
In an almost incredibly brief space
of time the news had spread throughout the city and everywhere the effect
was the same. Politics, prejudice,
personal disapointment—everything
was forgotten and swept away in a
moment) and only deep grief, a sense
of personal loss remained. But this
feeling was submerged in a few
moments by a savage, ferocious rage
at the miserable miscreant who had
shot down the nation's executive even
while he grasped his right hand apparently in fellowship and respect.
It was nearly seven o'clock in the
evening before the report came that
the President was not dead. Everyone rejoiced at the news and the crowd
that'had gathered in front of Doherty's
store read with keen interest and
anxiety each bullitin as it was posted.
When the nature* of the President's
wounds was told, our people maintained their hopeful feeling even
though it seemed almost impossible
for one so hurt to live. There was but
one expression—of grief over the
wounding of our beloved President,
prayer and hope for his recovery, and
execration for the wretched, criminal.
Until late at night many people remained at tbe telephone office waiting for the latest intelligence of the
President's condition, The next and
each succeeding day, the people's interest was just as keen and expressions
of joy and thanksgiving were heard
from old and young alike as the news
continued favorable for the President's
recovery,

SOME rfEW OFFICERS.
The   Mayor  Appoints   and    the
Council Confirms  Several
Good Men.
Mayor Dunlop submitted to the
common council Monday night his
nominations for membership on the
city borads required under the provisions of the "blanket" charter law,
and with two exceptions the nominations were all speedily confirmed. E.
B. Homing's name was submitted two
or three times but each time he failed
of confirmation. The council also rejected the nomination of William
Wolsey.
The appointments as confirmed are
as follows:
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS;
A. S. Eboades, for one year.
John A. Jackson, two years.
Henry Ort, three years.
George W. Lee, four years.
O. B. Thayerj five years,
BOARD OF SPECIAL ASSESSORS.
O. H. O'Donald.
Jacob Mason.
CEMET-aRY TRUSTEES.
James Louch.
Thomas C. Holbrook.
The cemetery trustees who hold
over are F. B. Doherty, A. E. Canfleld
and Wm. Eoss.
These new officers are all substantial and capable business men who
will discbarge the duties of their
several positions with fidelity and
wisdom. The mayor and council are
worthy of praise and tbe people are to
be congratulated,
A question was raised as to the appointment of Aid. Lee to tbe board of
public works, his right to accept
another city office while holding that
of councilman, being doubted. The
city attorney decided, however, that
he could be chosen and the council
then of course confirmed Che nomination.
Notwithstanding this decision, there
are those who think that Aid. Lee's-
qualiflcation as member of the board
of public works will Vacate his position on the common council, that Aid.
Louch will cease to oe an alderman
the moment he qualifies as cemetery
trustee, and that Aid. Doherty, vacated his position as cemetery trustee
when he accepted that of alderman.
The opinion of Attorney General Ofen
in the Missaukee county case is cited
in point. Judge of Probate Wright
was; elected justice of the peace last
spring and he duly qualified. The Attorney General says: "It is a general
rule of the law that where the duties
of an office in any way conflict with,
the duties ot anotner office, the two
are incompatible and such offices cannot be held by one and tbe same person at the same timei and that acceptance of tbe latter office ipso fact.o
vacates the former." He also adds;
"I find that under and pursuant to
Act 75, of tbe Public Acts of 1899,- the.
judge of probate has authority to W
view and approve or disapprove*Of a
sentence to the Industrial School for
boys or the Industral Home for girfs
imposed by a justice of the peace in
his county, and in this particular at
least there can be no question but that
the two offices are incompatible.
When two offices are incompatible in
ant one particular the general rule
.that the acceptance of the latter office
ipso facto vacates the flrst3 applies.r' .
The suggestion is made that the relations of the common council with the .
board of public works and the board of <
cemetery trustees are so intimate as
to make the two offices clearly incompatible.
