Women and Children Tainted and a
Panic Was Averted Only by
Happy InspiratiOn.

Two little girls about five years old
were caught in the crush and almost
smothered. Strong arms grasped them
and quickly carried them beyond
harms way. Soon after these Incl.
dents the Niles citizens were crowded
SO about the stand that a panic was i'm.
minent Maj. Mckinley seeing his
opportunity, proposed three cheers for
the old flag in the following words:
My fellow citizens, I propose, mas
much as this is flag day, in honor OF
the gold standard, which we love so
much. we give three rousing cheers for
1t and what it represents in our ma
tional life.''
The people paused, the crush was
stayed and with great vehemence the
cheers We're given. The crowd moved
away and MAJ. Mckinley passed quick
" into the house. The vancouver was
most timely, and doubtless averted
serious injury to many in the crowd.
Senator ]. B. Foraker emphasized the
unparalleled scenes witnessed in Can

caught the noise Of the tumuIt
