Attempt on Presidents Life

The attempt made to assassinate
President Mckinley last Friday after
noon by Leon Czolgosz-tpronounced
"Shawl-gotch l. the anarchist, was
one of the greatest crimes of The cen
tury. Not only was it an attempt to
destroy the head OF the best govern
ment on earth, but it was dastardly
attempt to take the life of a noble
man Besides being the best presi-
dent the United States has ever had,
President Mckinley is a good and pure
mau-pure in his home life moral and
upright in every walk of life. No
greater man in all respects ever held
high office than he. 1t is not yet sure
that the dastardly attempt of the as
sassin will not prove successful. AL
though the late reports from the presi-
dent are encouraging, complications
may yet set in which will result disas-
trously. Until the danger has entire
ly passed the people of the nation, ir-
respective of party or other prejudices,
will dwell in suspense and will breathe
fervent prayers for the complete re-
covery of our noble president.
LATEE:-A telegram received from
Buffalo this Friday morning at $50
states that President Mckinley has
suffered relapse and is now IN a criti-
cal condition. He was given light
nonrishment yesterday and this, to-
gether with a weak heart, has caused
Il serious change for the worse in his
condition.

oil for the
Children.

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anemic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
1t has been done for years.
OF course you must use the
right oil. SCOTS Emulsion
is the one.
SCOTS Emulsion neither
looks nor tastes like oil because
we are SO careful in making it
pleasant to take.

toned by ambitious advocates in some
of The states. OF course, there is a
long time ahead for the democrats to
agree upon a man: No one fears that
a search warrant will be found neceS-
sary, but the existing lack of leader
is favorite topic.
There is an excellent prospect that
the United States will 5000 be provid-
ed with needed strategic base in
West Indian waters. The negotiations
for the purchase of the Danish islands
is all but complete. Dispatches from

the Danish West Indies in our posses

Panama, another step will have been
taken toward making the United States
invulnerable.
The premature announcement that
Rear Admiral Sampson would not ap-
pear before the court of inquiry in
Washington to give testimony in sup
port of his charges against Rear Ad-
miral Schley for neglect of duty In the
West Indian naval campaign is credit
ed to sources hostile to the command
er-in-chief of the Santiago fleet.
Sampson, despite physical weakness,
insists upon being an active partici-
pant in the Investigation and will will
lingly sacrifice his comfort 10 the po-
sition he has taken in the controversy.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations Capital.

Two interesting visitors have ap.
peared in Washington within tile past
few days. They were Governcr-Gen,
eral Wood of Cuba, and General Arth.
ur Macarthur, formerly commander
in-chief of the American military
forces in the Philippine islands.
The combined testimony of these
generals indicates that the American
people, through their national admin
istration, are solving the problems
growing out of the conflict with Spain,
Wherever the sun of civilization
shines America is famed for surmount-
ing difficulties, and the world is not to
be disappointed in its belief that the
colonial question, with its several
phases. will not be abandoned in de-
spair by the United States.
General Wood announced that sever
al months would elapse before the
.Cubans were given full rein. 1t is the
intention of the American authorities
in the island to wait until the natives
have chosen president and other i'm
portant officials before Withdrawing
That announceme Mt was received at
the capital with satisfaction. The
folly of abandoning the Cubans to
their own devices before they have
passed through the critical period OF
selecting their first executive is OBJ
vious. While partisanS of opposite
creeds may endeavor to make political
capital out of continued American oc-
cupation, there can no longer be any
doubt as to the intention of the admin
istration. The islanders are to be CIV
en- the freedom so perSistently sought
through blood, fire and starvation
but which they will owe to the great
nation that espoused their cause and
piloted them through sea of unset
tied conditions closely resembling
chaos. -
While acknowledging that men with
guns are still needed in the far eastern
archipelago, General Macarthur de-
clarcs that commendable progress
is being made. Through
the exercise of kindly authority and
the dissemination of knowledge, the
brown men of the Philippines are be-
ing changed from mi-savages to
earnest workers for the betterment of
their land. General Macarthur states
that the substitution of American ideas
for the worn out and tyranical poll
cies in vogue under the Spaniards is
meeting with some opposition. But
there is every indication that the su-
periority of the new regime will soon
be generally recognized and that the
last vestige of armed resistance will
then disappear.
In common with the public, the re-
publican leaders who drop into Wash
ington from time to time, continue to
speculate regarding the probable iden-
tity of the next democratic presiden-
tial nominee. The continued feud be-
tween William J. Bryan and ex-Seha-
tor Hill, evidenced by the failure of
the latter to receive an invitation to a
Jacksonian picnic at Omaha, promises
to eliminate both Of them from the
possibility list, unless love feast
takes the place of the battle ak. In no
other quarter has a man of formida-
