out Reservation to the Opinion That
Their Distinguished Patient Will
Live-virtuaIIy Certain Speedily to
Retain Good Health.
Milburn House, Buffalo, Sept. H.
The following bulletin was issued by
the presidents physicians at 1o:3O p.
NJ: The condition of the president is
unchanged in all important respects.
His temperature is 1905, pulse 114,
respiration 2s. When the operation
was done on Friday it was noted that
the bullet had carried with it short
distance beneath the skin fragment
of the presidents coat. This foreign
material was, Of course, removed, but
slight irritation of the tissues was
produced, the evidence of which has
appeared only tonight. 1t has been
necessary, on account of this slight
disturbance, to remove few stitches
and partially open the skin wound.
This incident cannot give rise to other
complications, but it is communicated
to the public, as the surgeons in at
tendance wish to make their bulletins
entirely frank. In consequence of this
separation of the edges of the surface
wound the healing of the same will
be somewhat delayed. The president
is now we'll enough to begin to take
nourishment in the mouth in the form
of pure beef juice.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE

Symptoms Of a Very Cor mon Trouble.
There Is no disease so common in the
United States as catarIh because 1t APP
pears In so many forms and attacks SO
many different organs
1t is a common mistake to suppose that
catarrh Is confined to the nose and throat.
Any Inflammation OF the mucuous MEM
brane wherever located accompanied by
abnormal secreEions, is catArrh. Catarrh
OF stomach or bladder, or intestines Is
nearly al common as nasal oatBrrh and
much more serious although 1t Is true
that stomach catarrh and oatarrh OF 9TH
er Internal organs is the result of neg
leoted nasal eatarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which so far as tested seems to be re-
markbly effective In promptly curing ca
tarrh, wherever located. The preparation
is sold by druggists generally under
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, and
in addition to being very palatable and
convenient, possesses extraordinary mer-
IL. in many cases giving immediate re-
lief from the coughing, hawking and con-
slant clearing OF the throat and head,
those symptoms with which everyone is
familiar who has ever suffered from colds
in the head and throat.
Uatarrh Is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually worse
from year to year.
stuart Catarrh Tablets are composed
OF Hydrastln, Eucalyptol. Guaiaco and
similar antiseptics and eatarrh spscihcs,
from which 1t will be seen that no secret
Ii made OF the ingredtsnt and also that
no mineral poisOns are used as lie the
case with many well known catarrh med
fcines
For catarrh OF the nose, throat, bron-
chial tubes, for oatarrh OF stomach, In
testines or bladder no preparation is SO
safe and gives such rapid aud permanent
results as Stuart's Catarrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
full sized package You can use them
with assurance that you will not con-
tract the cocaine or morphine habit as
the results form this oatarrh cure are ap.
parent from the trst days use.

ANOTHER "CLUE."
Certainly Very Peculiar McLain
story from Oxford County.

Last evening the police heard an inter-
esting Iumor In the McLain case, an
other one OF the many 'clues' which
have been brought to the police station.
This recent story Is to the effect.that
when freight train on the Grand
Trunk stopped at Lockes Mills early
Wednesday morning, a man jumped OF
the train and shook hands with another
man ON the platform. After the train
had proceeded the man who had been on
the platform said to the telegraph opera
tor, "Fhat man was John McLain. l
know NOLAN, and that man was he.
The operator at once teIegraphed the
station agent at Bethel, ana when the
train arrived ut that place deputy sheriffs
boarded 1t. The officers made thorough
search OF the train, but did not succeed
in finding any man other than the regu-
lar crew of the train. Deputy Marshal
Firth says that McI4ain, or whoever the
white man was who was with the negro,
did not board the II O'Clock train from
Portland on Saturday night. "We
have positive proof as to this matter, "
said the deputy early this morning. ~
do not care to give our reasons, but it can
be stated officially and emphatioaIIy that
the man who had been with the negro
did not get on TO That train. This is GER
tain"
When McLain left the employ or White
at Richardson's Lake, he hal a meal
sack for a grip, anu said he wasn't going
co some place in Andover TO get some
clothing that he mad left there The next
place at which he appeared was at Rum
ford FaIlsszEghere ne worked for the Dun
ton Lumber Co. lie passed the office OF
that company Thursday noon, with the
meal rack in his hand.
As far as the police have been able TO
learn, ne did not take the sack on any
train, II he came to Portland with this
sack the police think 1t very strange that
he has not been seen.
