IN Co. L of the Iwenty-thlrd ONO vol
unteers. Among the officers of this
famous regiment were Gen. w. S.
Rosecrans, Rutherford b. Hayes. who
became president in 1877, and Col.
Stanley Matthews.
His military career was marked by
bravery and ability. He took part in
every engagement in which his reyi-
ment participated and served on the
staff of Generals II. b. Hayes, George
Crook and Winfield S. Hancock.
Returning home, he studied law
with Judge Charles L. Glidden at
Canton and at the Albany law school.
In March, 1867, he was admitted to
practice, and he at once attracted at

His record in congress is long and
enyiable one. lie proposed antitrust
and snti-option laws. He fought for
rhe adoption of an eight-hour law,
and his personal popularity, marked
by his deep faith in the people, be-
came unbounded.
AT two national conventions Will
lam Mckinley had refused to become
a candidate before the great party
gathering in st. Louis in 1896, when
he was made the party's standard
bearer on the first ballot. In 1883 he
forbade the use of his name, standing
firmly By Sherman as his choice for
the nomination, when his unspoken
acquiescence might have given him
the post at the Tread of the ticket. In
the convention of 1892, though he was
staunch supporter of Benjamin
Harrison and refused to allow the use
of his name, his name was presented
and he received 1872 votes. As per-
manent chairman of the convention,
he at once left the chair on the an
nouncement of this result of the first
ballot and presented the motion in
,-arson that the nomination of Mr..
Harrison be made unanimous.
The St. Louis convention of 1896
was like great ratification meeting
in that William Mckinley was nomi-
mated with a sweep on the first bal
lot. After serving three years he was
nominated at Philadelphia in the sum
mer of 1900 and reelected that fall
He was inaugurated for his second
term on March 4. 1901.
On September 6 he was shot at Buff
falo, N. Y, by Leon CzoIgolz, and dice

He was the twenty fifth President O.

WAS LEGALLY ELECTED.
Mr.. James 2. Smiser Assumes the
Duties of City Attorney.

In reporting the meeting of the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen held Monday
afternoon of last week, it was stated
that James A. Smiser, Esq. was nomi-
mated for City Attorney, but that as
he did not receive majority of the
votes of the Board-only three of
the five members present voting-no
election resulted. 1t has since de-
veloped however, that this report was a
mistake, and that Mr.. Smiser was
legally cleo ed, and he has assumed the
duties of the Office.
1t was the opinion of the Recorder
that it took a majority of the Board five
or more), to elect, but the charter pro-
vides that quorum may transact bust
ness. There was quorum present at
Il is meeting: they had already passed
u on several important matt-rs, and
" hen the election of Mr.. Smiser came
up, majority of the quorum voted for
h m. Thereupon, Acting Mayor Brown
low neld the election valid, and declared
Mr.. Smiser elected City Attorney. Mr..
Brownlow was right. A silent minority
should not be allowed to interfere with
the transaction of important business.

tered to Prevent the Presi-
dents Death.

Chicago, Sept. IL. Emma Goldman,
while stoutly denying that she had
anything to do with the attack on
President Mckinley, said she would
have made no effort to save him from
the hands of his assassin if she had
been conversant with Czolgosz's plan
to shoot him.
eff l had heard Czolgosz say that
he was going to shoot Mr.. Mckinley l
would not have reported the informa
tion to the police. l hate the spying
police, and | don't believe in interfer-
ing with what any man thinks he has
right to do. Why should l make it
my business to put man in the hands
of the police when they already secure
thousands of innocent persons every
day and condemn them to imprison-
ment and deathI No If man thinks
he is called on to kill a man because
he believes him tyrant, you may
be sure that will not 'squeal on
him to the police

FIkE IN PULASKI.
Telegraph Office and Other Establish
ments Burned.


Pulaski, Tenn. Sept. 16.-The Western
Union Telegraph Office, the warehouse
of T. Reese q Co., the tobacco and
snuff factory of Crockett & Ragsdale
and the tombstone and monument plant
of Ragsdale & BIO, all extending
through from First to Second streets,
were burned this morning at o'clock.
The buildings we're frame. There was
little or no insurance, $500 on the ware
house and small amount on the snuff
factory stock
The DIV cling houses of Mrs. Rufus
White and F. M. Bunch were slightly
damaged by heat. There are various
theories as to the origin of the fire. BY
some it is supposed that it started in
the telegraph Office from an electrical
disturbance.
From the crossing of telephone wire
with an electric light wire fire was
started in the Cumberland Telephone
office and over 100 phones we're burned
out. Quite a number of people were
severely shocked attempting to handle
telephones and electric light fixtures.

"Have by some surgeon Shylock on
thy charge to stop his wounds lest he
do bleed to death" People can bleed to
death. The loss of blood weakens the
body. 1t must follow that gain of blood
gives the body strength. The ST. ength-
ening effect OF DR.. Pierce's Medical Dis
covery is in large part due to its action
on the blood making glands and the in
creased supply of pure, rich blood it
produces. 1t is only when the blood is
impoverished and impure that disease
finds soil in which to root. The "Dis
covery" purifies the blood and makes it
antagonistic to disease. When the
body is emaciated, the lungs are weak,
and there is obstinate lingering cough,
Golden Medical Discovery" puts the
body on fighting footing against dis
ease, and so increases the vitality that
disease is thrown off, and physical
health is perfectly and permanently
restored. 1t has cured thousands who
were hopeless and helpless, and who
