RESULTS IN A SPLIT.
Steel Workers Meeting at Bay View
Ends I'm a RoVy-Many Vote
to Resume Work.

Milwaukee, Sept. 9.-The Bay View
meeting after a stormy session Sunday
broke up in a row. The radical element
left the hall and the remaining mem
bers, not quite half of those in attend
Rnce, voted to return to work and will
do so to-day, when the mills will start
up. The question of returning to work
was debated at length, and after every
member had had his say President Jo-
seph D. Redfern ordered secret ball
lot to be taken. An appeal was made.
The appeal was referred to the vice
president of the lodge, whose duty it is
to act in such an exigency. The lodge
waited IS minutes and the vice presi-
dent failed to take any action on the
appeal. President Redfern then APP
pointed tellers and ordered that a Sc
cret ballot be taken, whereupon the
radical element left the lodge in
body. The radicals slightly outnum-
bered the conservatives. Those re-
naming in the lodge then voted unani-
mously to return to work. The result
of the meeting will undoubtedly be a
split in the organization of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers in this city.

Buffalo, N. Y, Sept. while
President Mckinley was receiving in

noon he was approached by man
with a dark mustache and with one
hand covered with a handkerchief.
AS the man extended his hand to the
president apparently with the inten-
ton of shaking hands with him, he

Immediately arrested and was thrown
to the ground and quick as fash 20
men were upon him. When rescued
he was covered with blood from a
cash in his face. Cries of lynching
were heard in every direction, but the
police managed to get the man out
of the grounds and locked him up in
q station house a short distance from
the grounds. Later he was removed
to the police headquarters.
1t was just after the daily organ
recital in the splendid temple of

The president retained the full ex-
ercise of his faculties until placed on
the operating table and subjected to
an anaesthetic. Upon the first exam
nation it was ascertained that one bull
let had taken effect in the right breast
Just below the nipple, causing COM
paratively harmless wound. The 9TH
err took effect in the abdomen, about
four inches below the left nipple, four
inches to the left of the navel and
about on a level with it. Upon arrival
at the exposition hospital the second
bullet was probed for. The walls of
the abdomen were opened, but the ball
was not located.

Mrs. Mckinley Bears Up Wen.

When the news of the crime was
telephoned to the home of President
Milburn, where Mrs. Mckinley was
resting, immediate steps were taken
to spare her the shock of a prema-
ture statement of the occurrence be-
fore the true condition of the presi-
dent should be ascertained. Guards
were station, and no one was per-
mitted to approach the house.
When it was decided to remove the
president from the exposition hos
pital to the AIilburn residence the
news was broken to Mrs. Mckinley
as gently as might be by the mem
bers of the Milburn family. She bore
the shock remarkably well, and dis
played the utmost fortitude. She
said that if it was possible to bring
her husband to her she wanted it
done. DR.. Rixey assured her that the
president could be brought with
safety from the exposition grounds.
A big force of regular patrolmen was
assigned to the Milburn residence.

Removed to the MiIburn Hon


The incision was hastily closed and
after a brief consultation it was de-
cided to remove the patient to the
home of President Milburn. This was
done, the automobile ambulance being
used for the purpose. Arrived at the
Milburn residence, all persons outside
the medical attendants, nurses and the
officials Immediately concerned were
excluded, and the task of probing for
the bullet which had lodged in the alb
domen was begun by DR.. ROwell Parke.
At $3.50 the representative of the press
was admitted to the Milburn mansion,
where Secretary Cortelyou gave him
the official bulletin prepared by the
physicians. Secretary CortelyOu said
that a telegraph office would be estab
lished at once in the Milburn residence
and bulletins giving the public the
fullest information possible would be
issued at short intervals. At the Mil

The Assassin.

Late Friday night the police
learned that instead of Fred Nieman,
the real name of the would-be assas-
sin is Leon Czolgosz. He was born in
Detroit, and came here from Cleveland.
He is about 2S years old, stands five
feet nine inches high, weighs 100
pounds, has dark brown hair, blue
eyes, smooth face, regular features,
with prominent nose. He speaks
very good English, and has claimed
to come from Cleveland, Chicago and
Detroit, but has told so many stories
that his home is still matter of con-
lecture. Soon after the shooting he
was asked why he shot the president,
and said:
Il am an anarchist, and did my
duty"

Makes IA Confession.

Leon Czolgosz, the accused and
self-confessed assassin, has signed a
confession covering six pages of
foolscap, which state that he is an
anarchist, and that he became an en-
thusiastic member of that body
through the influence of Emma Gold
man, whose writings he had read and
whose lectures he had listened to.
He denies having any confederate,
and says he decided on the act three
days ago, and bought the. revolver
with which the act was committed in
Buffalo. He has seven brothers and
sisters in Cleveland, and the CIeve-
land directory has the names of
about that number living on HosmeI
street and Ackland avenue, which
adjoin. Some of them are butcher.
and others in different trades. He

tent for his action. He says he was

In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile adj
monishing those about him to remain
calm and telling them not TO be
alarmed.

'But you are wounded" cried his
secretary; slet me examine"
''No, I think not" answered the
president. 81 am not badly hurt, / as
sure you"
Nevertheless his outer garments
were hastily loosened, and when a
trickling stream of crimson was seen
to wind its way down his breast,
spreading its telltale stain. over the
white surface of the linen, their worst
fears We're confirmed.
A force of exposition guards was
on the scene by this time and an eff
fort was made to clear the building.
By this time the crush was terrific.
Spectators crowded down the stair
ways from the galleries, the crowd on
the floor surged forward toward the
rostrum, while despite the strenuous
efforts Of police and guards the throng
without struggled madly to obtain adj
mission.
Taken to the Hospital.
The presidents assailant in the
meantime had been hustled to the rear
of the building by exposition guards,
where he was held while the building
was cleared, and later he was turned
over to Superintendent Bull, of the
Buffalo police department, who took
the prisoner to No. 10 police station
and afterwards to police headquarters.
As soon as the crowd in the Temple
of Music had been dispersed sufficient
ly the president was removed in the
automobile ambulance and taken to
the exposition hospital, where an eX-
animation was made. The best med
ical skill was summoned, and within
a brief period several of Buffalo's best
known practitioners were at the pa
TENTS side.

Goodness of the President.

But of the multitude which wit
messed or bore part in the scene of
turmoil and turbulence there was but
one mind which seemed to retain it's
equilibrium, one hand which remained
steady, one eye which gazed with un-
finching calmness and one voice which
retained its even tenor and faltered
not at the most critical juncture. They
were the mind and hand and the eye
and the voice of President Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assassin's
shot he retreated step; then, as the
detectives leaped upon his assailant,
he turned, walked steadily to chair
and seated himself, at the same time
removing his hat and bowling his head
in his hands.

It was shortly after four p. M,
when one of the throng which sur
rounded the presidential party, a
medium-sized man of ordinary ap-
pearance and plainly dressed in
black, approached as if to greet the
president. Both Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn noticed that
the mans hand was swathed in a
bandage or hanuNerchief. Reports of
bystanders differ as to which hand.
He worked his way amid the stream
of people up to the edge of the dais
until he was within two feet of the

OPPOSES BONDS.
Those Who Use the Roads
Must Pay for Them.

Laddonia, Mo-, Aug. 10.-MR
EDITOR: What is the real mean.
ing of all this talk about helping
the poor man to continue poor,
and get poorer, by running him
into debt! Are we to infer from
what is said about the profits of
the rock roads in Rails and Pike
counties that it is proposed to col
lect tolls on the projected roads!
If the intention be to charge for
the use of the rock roads, suflici-
cnt toll to pay interest and priuci-
pal of the bonds, it is Il simple
business proposition. Only those
who used the roads would pay for
them. 1t is on such purely bust
ness principles that municipalities
issue bonds to build electric light
plants, water works, etc.
Enough toll or rent is collected
from private parties for the use of
light, water etc, to pay off all in
debtedness, and, where good bust
ness methods are used, the taXpay-
crS are never taxed to pay the
bonds.
But if the proposition be to
scatter $500, 600 over the county
building pieces of rock roads in
each township, and leave the tax
payers to struggle for 20 years
under the burden, it will give the
bond holders Il general mortga &c
on all the taxable wealth of the
county, that cannot be hid from
the assessor, and will reduce to
that extent the value of all land
distant from the roads and will |
simply rob some to enrich others.
Only such farms us from their
situation could use the roads to
advantage would be increased in
value, all others would be decreas-
ed in value by the debt, All such |
increase of value should be paid !
for by only those who would |
profit by it,
When the shy lcvcc was built
only the acres benefited were tax
ed.
II is foolish to talk of rock roads

rose bugs. Hence potato bugs.
Hence all kinds If insect pests,
which, finding themselves undis-
turbcd by their natural enemies,
proceed to multiply like compound
interest. This same writer adds:
THE problem therefore reduces
itself to this form: DO the people
of this country prefer to see wo-
mems hats adorned with dead
birds, while the owners fight mos
quitos and the farmer and garden
az fight insects, or do they prefer
to see the hats decorated with rib
bons and artificial flowers or os-
trich plumes, while the bird, in
his natural state, ornaments the
gardens and roadsides in the in
tervals of catching noXious in
sccts! Is the artistic object pro-
duccd by shooting and stufling II
purple martin, and impaling him
with Il hat-pin, upside down, in
middle of a tangle of ribbons
worth the trouble of fighting a
million mosquitoes, more or less, in
the course of the summer! If it is
not, it is about time that the leg
iSlaturcS of our several States
looked into this matter and passed
some laws against the destruction
of insect-cating birds. Otherwise
the copse where once the garden
smiled is likely to be given over to
fragmentary plants covered with
bugs, aud the porch cntwincd with
honcysucklcs, about which poets
love to write, will he rendered UNI
inhabitable to unprotected poet
arms"
We pay $500, 900, 900 annually
on account of the havoc to crops,
etc, by bugs. Time to look after
saving the birds if that will help
the situation.

the farmer to get to town easier,
except one town has a rock road
and another has not. The farmer
spends every dollar he can make,
or borrow, road or no road, and
the town could not get any more
out of him, no matter how easy it
was to get to town. Oftcncr he
went the less he would have to
spend, and if he should have to
pay interest on those bonds and
sinking fund and all the other cX-
penscs he won't have anything to
spend anyway.
Good roads are desirable, but
the greater part of the farm prod
ucts of Audiain county walk to
market.
The older citizens of the county
know something of bonds. In the
sixties the county tax used to he
81 30 on the hundred. When the
last of the railroad bonds was paid
off the tax rapidly fell In 20
the county tax was 30 cents on the
hundred, aud in 50 it was only
30 cents. Since then the county
tax has varied from L. TO 30 cents
on the hundred instead of Sl,3O
when we had the railroad bonds to
pay.
Now we dare risk betting Mr..
Hawkins our best Sunday hat
against three gray cOw-peaS that
he cannot get ten per cent of the
taxpayers to vote for his bonds
except he can guarantee their pay
mcnt by only those who use the
roads.
