dragged him out, hustled him away
through the beautiful exposition grounds
and threw him behind barred doors,
where he was saved for the law to deal
with him.
Missing their men where they could
best handle the excited crowd, the po-
lice cleared a passageway to one of the
doors for the bearing away of the Presi-
dent, and OH the stretcher of an ambu-
lance which had come changing to the
door he was tenderly carried from the
building and borne in the ambulance to
the emergency hospital, near the service
building. within the exposition grounds.
Though this takes long in the telling,
probably it was not more than five min
utes from the time the shots We're fired
until the President was in the hospital
and a hasty examination was begun by
the surgeons.
Just twenty years after President
Garfield fell before the bullets of the
demented Guiteau another attempted
assassination has been added to Ameri-
can history. For the third time since
the nation began a man with murder in
his heart has sought to remove the chief
executive.

When it became necessary that Mrs.
Mckinley should he informed of what
had overtaken her illustrious husband
she surprised ali about her by bearing up
bravc!y under the shock. DIR. RiXey car
ried the news to her, and her first request
was that Mr.. Mckinney should be
brought to her at once il it were at all
possible.
Director General buchanan had mr.
ranged so that no news of the shooting
should penetrate the Milburn residence.
He had shut off the telephone aud tele-
graphic communication with the mansion,
and secret police halted every one going
toward the house.
1t was realized. though. that Mrs. Nc
INinley must be told before long, and
MIR. Buchanan was selected for the task.
DIR. RiNcy Went to the house and broke
the news to the Misses Duncan aud Bar
Der. lie waited II time for Mr.. Buchanan
to arrive, and then, his presence in the
house having already reused some slight
suspicion that everything was not quite
right. lie made bold to inform Mrs. Nc
lAinlcy.
The Presidents wife caught at the phy-
sician's first words. and she OWNED that
MIR. Mckinley had been injured in some
accident. But DR.. Rixcy did not yield
to whatever temptation there may have
been for him to temper the blow by per-
Knitting her to think she had guessed
Alright. He held hravely to his task and
told the whole story.
Mrs. Mckinley bore up surprisingly
we'll. SHE WAS allowed to see the presi-
dent for Il few minutes and then went to
her room. NO fears for her life are enter
tanned. but the doctors are OH guard.

that the crisis in his condition had not

morning all indicated Il spirit of hopeful

The President rested well. there were
no alarming conditions of temperature or

strong and CHEEKY. The feeling of hope
was quite general about the Milburn resi-

removed from the hospital, in sharp con-

prevailed early the previous night.

woman had helped herself to certain
goods that had struck her fancy in a

had found the goods on the floor and,
supposing that they had been dropped
there by some customer, had taken
charge Of them until she could find the
owner. The mayor asked her how she
proposed to pursue her search; but she
could give no satisfactory answer. In
view Of the fact that this was the first

mayor imposed fine Of only IS, and
the woman went to Jail pending the
raising Of the money by her friends.

PLEASED WITH sTOvER.

There are quite number OF people
in the Clay Hill section who have made
a thorough test Of the value Of stover
as roughness for work stock and cattle
and who have firmly made up their
minds that they will never again har-
vest a crop Of corn according to tedious
and expensive methods employed up to
two years ago.
Mr.. w. L. Plexico, of Clay Hill, is
largely responsible for the revolution Of
harvesting methods that have taken
place in his neighborhood. He bought a
shredder with which to shred his own
corn crop, neighbors called upon him
for assistance in trying the experiment
also, and as the result there will have
to be quite a number of shredders in
that neighborhood to accommodate the
increasing demand for shredding.
Speaking of the subject to the report
er last Saturday, Mr.. Plexico said: I'VE
have been making all the corn we need
ed at the mill, you know; but we did
not have enough roughness to do us,
so we bought shredder by way Of ex-
pertinent. After shredding our own
crop the first year we shredded for a
number of neighbors. taking pay for
our work partly in cash and partly in
stover We shredded for quite num-
ber Of farmers that year and so far as
I know everybody was we'll pleased.
know we were, for we did not have to
buy any roughness that year. The

WHITE
GOODS.

wv HEN a merchant puts the selling
w price of his goods down to and
below New York cost, 1t means that he
Is willing to lose a legitimate nrofit.
and 1t also means that the buyer Is In
position to pick up good percentage
of profit on the goods that he or she
may buy. I have put all Of my goods
down to the New York cost, and as 1
have some especially nice goods 1t is
altogether likely that buyers can find
here a lot Of goods that will just suit
the fancy, and the prices will just tickle
the pocketbook without making a no
ticeable bruise. I have an especially
nice line Of WHITE GOODS FOR La
DIES WEAR. This stock has been
pronounced the handsomest line OF
White Goods to be seen in Yorkville In
many years, and 1t Is more than likely
that If you will inspect 1t you will f1td
something that will just suit you. I
invite you to come and see.

wv E take this method of informing
wv the citizens Of York county, that
we are the sole agents for the sale Of
the HOOSIER DISC GRAIN DRILL In
York county, and will have a CAR
LOAD IN STOCK in a few days. AS
the season Is on for the sowing Of peas,
and peas so scarce, 1t would be econ
omy to put them in with drill, and
the HOOSIER DRILL will put them
In right, and with little acid will like
ly give better results.
Remember that in operating the
HOOSIER DISC DRILL that 1t is not
necessary to stop the Drill to change
the quantity of grain or fertilizer. The
arrangement Is so easy and simple that
any 15-year-old boy can operate the
implement with ease. We sold several
HOOSIER DRILLS last season, and
every one has given entire satisfaction.
One party says he drilled in for himself
and neighbors something over TWO
HUNDRED ACRES, and his drill Is as
good apparently as when he bought 1t.
Any one thinking Of buying Drill
would do we'll to examine the HOO
SIER DISC DRILL before buying.

of those we had worked for the previ-
Gus year and also for a number Of new
customers. All the people who tried it
the first year wanted to shred again
last year; but some were disappointed,
because we were not able to reach
them. Among our customers during
the two years were the following:
u. B. Barron, ]. M. Campbell, G. c.
Ormand, w. R. Horton, G. R. Wallace.
]. L. Stacy, w. J. Rodman, ]. A. Nc
Fadden, ]. H. Miller, w. M. Carothers,
w. J. Neely, w. ]. Anderson and I. j.
Costner. AS we'll as I recollect, we put
the shredder down at each one Of these
places and at most places shredded
number Of smaller crops that were
hauled in to us.
Some of my neighbors," continued
Mr.. Plexico, look upon the new mode
of harvesting as having an important
advantage that has not yet been NEIL
toned. They cut the corn when the
fodder is about ready to pull and haul
it out of the bottoms at once, in this
way escaping all danger from loss on
account of high waters. Many crop Is
lost, you know, even after the fodder
has been pulled.
"Messrs. w. J. Anderson and w. ].
Neely got their crops saved in better
condition than did any Of the other
probably. Both hauled up
their corn Immediately after cutting
and shocked it we'll. Mr.. Anderson
says that he never expects to pull an
other bundle Of fodder, and I believe
that he will give you testimonial to
the effect that his stover is as good as
any fodder to be found in the country
that stock like it equally as WELL"
Mr.. Plexico says he will continue to
shred; he could not think Of going back
to the oldway He does not think,
however, that he will continue to ope-
rate shredder for the public, as he Is
not as we'll prepared for the work as
he ought to be, and he does not care
to incur the expense that Is necessary
for proper preparation.
