Detroit.
On the slightly raised dais was enactet
within those few feverish moments
tragedy so dramatic in character, so
thrilling III intensity that few who looked
on will ever be able to give a succuct
account of what really did transpire.
Even the actors who were playing the
principal roles came out of it with
blanchcd faces. trembling limbs and
beating hearts, while their brains
throbbed with n tumult of conflicting
emotions which left behind only a cha
otic tumble of impressions which could
not be clarified into lucid narrative Of
the events as they really transpired.
But of the multitude which witnessed
or bore a part in the scene of turmoil
and turbulence there was but one mind
which seemed to retain its equilibrium,
one hand which remained steady, one eye
which gazed with uuhinching calmness
and one voice which retained its even
tenor aud fatered not at the most crit.
ical iuncture. They were the mind and
the hand and the eye and the voice of
President Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assassin S
shots, he retreated a step, then, as the
detective leaped upon his assaiant he
turned, walked steadily to a chair and
seated himself, at the same time remov-
ing his hat and bowing his head fn his
hands.

Queries az the home OF President Mill

mediate vicinity Of the house where the
president lies is rUpcd off and guarded
by police, who will admit nobody. 1t
was announced earlier in the evening
that official bulletins would be issued at
regular intervals and upon these the

Made Partial Confession.
When charged by District Attorney
Penny with being the instrument Of an
organized band of consprators he pro-
tested yehemently that he never even
thought of pcrpetrating the crime until
yesterday morning. After long and per-
sistent questioning it was announced at
police headquarters that the prisoner had
made a partial confession, which the
prisoner had signed.
AS near as can be learned now the
facts contained i'll the confession are as
follows:
The mans name is Leon Czolgosz. He
is of Polish-German extraction. His
home is in Cleveland, whence he has
seven brothers and sisters.
He is an avowed anarchist and an ar
dent disciple of Emma Goldman, whose
teachings he alleges are responsible for
yesterdays attack on the president. He
denies steadfastly that he is the instru-
ment of any body of anarchists or the
tool of any coterie of plotters. He de-
clares he did not even have confeder-
ate. His only reason for the deed he
declared, is that he believed the present
form of government in the United States
was unjust and he concluded the most
effective way to remedy it was to kill the
president. These conclusions. he de-
clares, he reached through the teachings
of Emma Goldman. Though his place of
residence is still matter of doubt II
the minds of the officials they are in
clined to believe that Cleveland is cor
rect. The Cleveland directory shows a
large number of persons Of the name of
Czolgosz, all within the radius of few
blocks in the neighborhood of Hosmer
street and Acland avenue.
Official Statement of injuries.
Secretary Courtelyou makes the fol-
lowing official statement of the presi-
dents injuries:
THE president was shot about
o'clock. One bullet struck him on the
upper portion of the breast bone glancing
and not penetrating; the second bullet
penetrated the abdomen FIVE inches below
the left nipple and one and Il half inches
to the left of the median line The alb
dOmen was opened through the line Of
the bullet wound. 1t was found that the
bullet had penetrated the stomach. The
opening in the front wall of the stomach
was carefully closed with silk Sutures
after which search was made for a
hole in the back wall Of the stomach.
This was found and also closed in the
same way. The further course of the
bullet could not be discovered, although

The Nations Happy Condition.

The surplus of $6, ,042 ,628 in the
Government receipts for August as
compared with the expenditures is
a magnificent testimony to the work
of the Mckinley Administration,
says Philadelphia Press. Congress
passed a law making a reduction Of
about $40,0OO,OOO a year in the
revenue taxes. But owing to the
great prosperity Of the nation,
shown in the increase in internal
revenue receipts on spirits and on
other things not touched by the
new tariff, and the large reduction
in expenses, there was this hand
some surplus of over $4,000, 900
for August following the surplus
of S15, 900 for July, although de-
fcits were ia. 1.expected szss,,for both
months.
There is no doubt that the new
law will accomplish it's purpose in
cutting off from the revenues $40,-
100000, but it will not interfere
with the continued prosperity of the
nation and the additional receipts
that come from increased produc-
ton and consumption in nearly all
lines OF business. The reduction
in the expense of the army is in
some measure due to the changed
condition of things in the Philip
pines, brought about by the wise
management Of affairs there. The
reduction of 5000, 600 in the ex-
pense of the civil establishment is
SO a great extent due to the econo-
mic reforms of the Administration,
though the failure of the river and
harbor bill had something%to do
with it.
In the first two months of the
fiscal year 1901 there was u deficit
of s4, 100000. For the correspond
ing period this year, despite the
effect of the $4,000, 900 tax reduc-
tion law, there is a surplus of &c.
O57,62S At the same time there
is an increase in cash in the Treas
ury, the interest charges have been
reduced and prosperity reigns
everywhere. 1t is a condition Of
affairs concerning which every
citizen may be proud, more par
ticuIarly the President, whose wise
administration has brought it
about.

"I Wonder If I'm Hit"

Detective Sergeant Geary, who was
not three feet from the president, mt
his arms around the latter and supported
him although the president was not really
in need of support.
81 wonder if I'm hit" the president
said to Detective Gcary
Il think you are" replied the detec-
tive.
The president thereupon lifted the bot
tom of his vest and revealed a spot of
blood.
The man who seized the would-be as
sassin Jared nearly as badly for few
moments as did the man he had arrested.
Mistaking the officer for the assassin a
brawny marine leaped upon him, and
bore him to the floor, placing his hands
at his throat in a manner to preclude re-
sistence. The assassin attempted, in the
moment of diverted excitement, to get
up. but burly negro seized him with an
iron grasp and the would-be murderer
was relieved of any ambition he may
have had to escape.
Mrs. Mckinley Bears Up BraveIy.
1t was several hours after the attack
upon the president that the news was
broken to Mrs. Mckinley. The infor-
nation was impaired as tenderly as DOS

would have All ill effect upon her not

In Midst of Protectors,

The president stood in the center of
the big auditorium, smiling and grasping
cordially the hand of every man and wo-
man who approached him. Gathered
about him were u Gordon of United
States marines, several detectives, among
them Geary, Solomon and Henafet,
of the Buffalo police. The detectives
were within three feet of Mr.. Mckinley,
watching closely every man who ap-
preached. They were not expecting an
attack on his life; it is customary for de-
tectives TO guard him thus whenever he
appears in public.
The young man moved slowly along the
narrow aisle which stretched through the
crowd, waiting his turn leisurely. He
held his handkerchief-coverc hand with
the greatest care. The detectives saw
him and supposed his hand panied him.
They had not the faintest suspicion that
it clenched a weapon which was to
strike perhaps Il death blow to the man
whose life they were guarding. The
president shook hands with lady. The
young man moved up close to him, eager
apparently to grasp his hand.
Just as the president finished greeting
the woman who was ahead of the young
man, the would-be assassin sided up TO
Mr.. Mckinley, put his supposedly sore
hand to the chief executives body and
shut his eyes.
Two muffled sounds and wisp of
smoke rose from the bandaged hand.
The young man stepped back, not as if
to escape, but as if terrified at his own
handiwork. The president stood like
statue with his unmoved eyes garing at
his attempted murderer.
He had not WINGED.
A wave of intense excitement rippled
through the vast throng. Few had heard
the shots, but the sudden quiet told
everyone that something awful had hap
pened. II was that fearful hush which
settles over crowd which is affrighted
at something it doesn't know the nature
Of
The instant the dull reports sounded
and the would-be assassin stepped back
a guard reached forward and seized him,
at the same instant dealing blow to in
sure submission.

fighting with the officers and the soldiers
and, shouting: Lynch him-lynch him
hang him--kill him." Some clutched at
the horses others at the wheels of the
carriage. The police and soldiers fought
back the crowd aud the carriage galloped
away.
The escape of the would-be assassin
from the hands of the infuriatcd people
was in accord with the wishes of the
president. As the president sank back
In the arms of Detective Gary and Presi-
dert 1filburn, after the shooting, he
gaSped the name Of his secretary, Cor
telyou. The secretary bent over him.
"Be Careful About My WIFE"
'Be careful about my wife" he gaspcd
the president. DO not tell her"
Then, writhing in the agony of his
wounds, the president turned and saw
his attempted murderer helpless on the
floor beneath the blows of soldiers and
detectives. He raised his right hand.
stained with the blood of his wound and
drawing down the head of his secretary,
he whispered:
"Let no one hurt him.
Then he sank back, deathly white, but
clearly conscious, while they dragged his
assailant from his sight. He sat pa
tiently waiting without a moan or sign
of suffering beyond the ashy pallor of
his face, while they sent for the ambu-
lance, and waited for it's coming. He
sank obediently on the stretcher and was
carried out. Nine minutes after the shots
were fired he was lying in the Emer-
gency hospital. Great SURGEONS had been
summoned by telephone and Immediately
set to work to save his lfe.
The news Of the shooting spread like
wildfire around the exposition. Crowds
were thunderstruck. Then silence fell
upon the Rainbow City. The Midway at
fractions closed their doors. All the
state and foreign buildings, headed by
the Cubans, closed their doors. Many
of the flags on these buildings were low
cred People moved about dismayed,
with troubled faces, speaking in hushed
voices. Women went to and fro weep
ing. Strong men with white, set faces
and clenched hands made their way to
the Esplanade and stood waiting by the
Temple of Music. The light of death
cleaned in their eyes and the doom of Il
murderer hovered over the multitude.
Fortunately, the great bulk of them ar
rived too late. The red-handed anar-
chist had been removed beyond their
reach. When some heard that he had
been taken away they asked where he
had gone and they turned their faces
thithCr.
The young man who shot the president
had practically no difficulty in getting
to the side of the chief executive. The
nature of the reception made it possible
for everyone to get into the big temple
and to pass close enough to the president
to shake his hand. No one was suspi-
cious of the would-be assassin. He
looked like an ordinary young mechanic
with Il sore hand, for, as has been told,
his hand was covered with Il handker-
chief or bandage.

FISHING FOR DINNER.
Was True to Its Natural In
stlncts in Captivity.

Hooking over my neighbours fence
one day. says lover of animals, 81
was surprised to see on his doorstep
these queer companions: ~ beautiful
white sea gull and my neighbours pet
cat sitting quietly together.
becoming interested, I jumped the
fence and asked Jones about his fcath-
cred pet. He told me that some bows
had shot the gull 4 few days before
and broken it's wing and as they we're
passing his house he noticed the poor,
suffering thing and bought it. He
bandaged the broken wing and the
gull, seeming to understand his kind
intentions, became quite tame and
nestled its pretty head against his
hand.
Jones entertained me by showing
how the gull usually took it's meals"
quotes the Christian Advocate.
bringing plate of oysters and q
fork, he called: 'Goosey, goosey,
goosey!' and the bird came running to
him. Then he held out an, oyster on
the fork and the gull seized 1t quickly
with it's yellow bill and ate it as de-
murely as if oysters had been served
to it in this way all of its days.
The oldest thing occurred one day
when my neighbor gave the gull some
small pieces Of meat for dinner. He
placed the meat on the, ground near
the gull, but the gull, espying pan
OF water near by, took the meat piece
by piece, and, walking over, dropped it
into the water: Then, true TO its ma
ture, it began fishing for its dinner"

STRANGE RECIPROCITY.

i What do you think Of an alliance
between plant and an ant, a veritable
reciprocal treaty whereby the plant

ant furnishes protection for the
plant? This is an actual existing re-
lation in Australia, where a small pug
nacious ant and the bulls horn thorn

DESTROYING ClODS.'
1t IL a Hard Job, But Perseverance,
and Good Common Sense Ac-
cOmplish Wonders.

If you have piece of hard land to
break, which is SO baked as to: come
up in clods, we would suggest that you
run over it with disk or cutaway
harrow ahead of plows, and break with
very small scooters, says a southe rn
farmer. Do not try to turn such land.
If you still have clods do not wait for
them to harden, but run heavy roller
or drag over and follow with some
pulyerizing harrow the same day.
An hour or so will do this for each
days blowing. Thus you will pulver-
ize most of them quite easily. Run
roller ahead of harrow so as to crush
as many as possible, and fasten the
others so that they cannot dodge the
harrows. 1t will pay to take time to
do this, your crop can be cultivated
so much cheaper afterwards; and the
yield will be so much greater. Every
time you go over with harrow and
crushers you will increase the yield
of the crop.
We once selected one acre in a
20-acre field, average spot, and
plowed and narrowed this acre IA
times right along before we quit.
We then planted and cultivated this
acre just as we did the rest of the field,
running the rows right along through
it. The yield was much more than
double any other acre. This has con-
tinued to be true for five years, in all
kinds of crops. All through the grow
ing season this acre can be distin-
guished as far as you can see the field.
All crops grow off quicker and yield
heavier. Couture is manure is true.
But after all the old proverbs ian
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure" holds good here also. If the
hard pan is broken up and the water
permitted to go on down, so as not
to saturate the soil and remain in it
too long, the baking will be prevented.
If the baking or running together is
prevented the clods will not form. This
is as true of bottom land as of upland.
Stop the soaking and you will prevent
the clodding. One other point is worth
considering here. DO not burn any
vegetable matter in your farm. Plow
it into the soil. This will enrich the
soil and prevent the baking and clod-
ding.

Homework md the Hands

When engaged in sweeping and dust
ing and similar household tasks the
hands should be protected with loose
gloves. If rubber gloves are not used
in dishwashing, dishn>op should be
used, to prevent the hands from being
so frequently immersed in hot soapy
water. After doing rough, coarse
work which has begrimed the hands,
before attempting to wash them rub
in the pores little vaseiine or oil to
loosen the dirt, then wash them in
hot water and pure soap, using hand
scrubbing brush. I.ather them we'll
and remove every particle of CRIME
from about the nails. Turn out the
soapy water and rinse them in tepid
water and lastly in cold, so that they
will not be made too tender. Hard
