UNITED STATES SENATOR ROACH

In the first place, II should be noted
that catarrh is one OF the most prev
alent and universal maladies known
10 medical science. Nearly everybody
has catarrh In some degree or phase.
In the second place, II should be
noted hat Pcruna is the only scien'
tinc. internal catarrh remedy yet de-
vised.
This explains the almost universal
use OF Pcruna. Everybody uses Pc.
runa. high and low. rich and poor,
great and small. Peruna has fought
It's way out from among the host OF
catarrh remedies. and stands unique
and alone today as the catarrh rem.
edy par excellence. BY its well.
earned merits II has attracted the at.
tention OF the greatest, and the buBl-
est. and the wisest people. II is
equally applicable TO all ages, to both
sexes. and To every climate.
Nothing In the history OF medicine
has ever equGilcd lie growth OF this
remarkable remedy. Catarrh has
become national disease. Peruna
has become a national remedy. DR..
Hartman. the inventor OF Peruna, has
become the best known physician In
the United States.
All this is explained by the fact that
peruna cures catarrh whereverlocated.
Catarrh In liable TO attack any organ
OF the human body. Catarrh is not
local disease, but systemic dis
ease. Peruna is not local remedy.
but systemic remeay. Peruna
cures catarrh by eradicating II from
/ the system.
Such cures are not temporary but
! permanent.

satisfactory results from the use OF

STATEMENT BY coRTELYoU.

George B. Cortelyou, Secretary TO the
President. Saturday morning gave out the
following statement:
The President was shot about 4 o'clock.
One bullet struck him on the upper portion
of the breastbone, glancing and not pe,e-
tlating; the second bullet penetrated the
abdomen five inches below the left nipple
and one and One-half inches to the left of
the median line.
The abdomen 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
stitches, after which a search was made for
a hole in the back wall of the stomach. This
was found and also closed in the same way.
Tho further course of the bullet could not

made. The abdominal wound was closed
without drainage. No injury to the mites

rified amazement and Their with the deep

tiers of every city in the United States
men and women gathered and waited for
hours to get every scrap Of information
that came,over the wires. In thousands
of small towns the whole population stood
about the local telegraph Offices and
watched tearfully and anxiously for bull
letins.
Telegraph Offices everywhere were
swamped with business. messages of SYM
pathy for the President and his wife
from almost every man Of prominence in
h e'nation, and for hours after the shoot

burdened that only a small percentage Of
subscribers were able to secure service.

dent, lit is nothing"
His head sank forward into his hands
a moment and then he raised it briskly,

from the wound in his breast and
spread in m Overwhelming circle on
his white shirt front.
But you are wounded. exclaimed
Mr.. Cortelyou, ''let me examine"
mo, no." insisted the President, II
am not badly injured, l assure you"
With a bullet in his breast and an
other through his stomach, he did not
lose consciousness. He sat almost as
stanch and straight in his chair as
though his assailant's shots had missed
and he seemed the calmest and least
perturbed of the immense gathering.
President Milburn and Secretary Cor
telyou We're almost frantic with alarm,
but the wounded maj continued to as
sure them that his injuries were triti-
ing.
This dramatic scene upon the little
platform was enacted in the midst of
Il terrible ttmult, which continued un.
i~nterruptedly for many minutes.
When the secret service men and the
colored man first threw themselves
upon Czolgosz, the assailant of the
President, and pinned him to the floor
lest he should try to S the revolver
again, twenty more men hurled them
selves upon the scrambling quactette
and buried Czolgosz from sight. Every
man in that struggling, crazy throng
was striving to get hold of Czolgosz, to
strike him, to rend him, to wreak upon
him in any way the mad fury which
possessed them instantly they realized
what he had done.
The greater part of the crowd was
stunned for an instant by the enormity
of the crime they witnessed, but when
the reaction came they surged forward
like wild beasts, the strongest tearing

forcing themselves forward to where
the prisoner was held by his captors.
All the time a tumult of sound flledthe
place, a hollow roar at first, punctuated
by the shriells of women, swelling into
a medley of yells and curses. Men
said unintelligible things as they push
ed and crowded toward the center of
the swaying mob. They wanted to
lynch Czolgosz, whoever he was. They
wanted to see him and they shouted
vainly at the police officers in front to
drag him out.
MAI Effort to Gain Revenge.
A little force of exposition guards,
penned i'll by the clamoring mob,
fought desperately to hold their pris-
oner from the bloodthirsty crowd. They
had Czolgosz safe and fast. His re-
volver had been wrenched from his
hand in the instant that Detective Ire
land fell upon him. and he was help
less, bruised and bleeding. His face
was cut when he was thrown to the

floor and u dozen eager, vicious hands
had struck at him and reached him
over the shoulders of the officers.
Slowly, very slowly, the little force
of police made way through the
crowd, dragging the prisoner between
them. They were determined there
should be no lynching. Things were
bad enough as it was, and a lynching
would have been the crowning horror
of the day.
From outside the building, where the
news had spread from lip to lip. more
thousands pushed and jostled and
shouted in their eagerness to enter the
building. Those inside were struggling
in two directions-the more timorous to
escape from the place before a STAN
pede should crush out their lives and
the hot-headed to reach Czolgosz-only
to reach Czolgosz was their one idea.
President Keeps Calm.
And thus the contest ragged while the
President sat, pale but calm, in the
midst Of the excited little group on the
platform. 1t was impossible to take
him away at the moment. Every door
way was TANNED with a crazy, shout
ing mob moving in two directions, try
ing to escape and trying to enter. To-
ward the main door the police were
fighting their way with fists and billies
to get Czolgosz out Of the crowd and
place him behind the bars. Upon the
minutes which speeding might de-
pend the Presidents life, for no medi-
cal aid could reach him in that mael-
strom, and It was evident that he was
sorely wounded.
More police came plunging into the
crowd from headquarters. where the
direful news had sped. They hurled
themselves upon the swaying mob, they
struck and pushed and shouted COM
mands and it slowly gave way just
enough 30 they could reach the little
band struggling to save Czolgoss from

y In the presence of thousands of peo-
pie President Mckinley was shot
down by an assassin a few minutes
after 4 o'clock Friday afternoon in the
Temple of Music at the Pan-American
Exposition grounds. One bullet struck
h breastbone, glanced aside into the
flesh and was easily removed by sur
geons. The other entered the abdo-
men, pierced the front and rear walls
of the stomach and buried itself in
some spot in the Presidents body not
readily reached by the probes Of the
surgeon. This more serious wound
was dressed and closed with several
stitches and the physicians awaited
results, declaring the President had a
fair chance for recovery. The assault
ant, Leon Czolgosz, was arrested i'm
mediately. Subsequently he confessed
he was III anarchist and a disciple of
Emma Goldman. u,
The startling attack on the Chief En-
ecutive took place while the President
was exchanging pleasant greetings
with visitors to the exposition. Many
hundred people had shaken hands with
the President, II of the last being
a burly colored man. He murmured
his Acknowledgements of the honor and
moved OH to make way for Il heavily
built young fellow about % years old
who was slowly following him in the
long line. There was nothing to mark
him from the thousands around him,
except that he carried a handkerchief
in his hand and even that, perhaps,
was scarce worthy of note, for the
building was small and crowded. the
weather was sultry and thousands. Of
handkerchiefs We're in constant requi-
sition. The young man moved rapidly
to a position Immediately in front Of
the President, SO close that lie could
have shaken his hand. As he had done
so many hundreds of times in the pre-
ceding half hour, Mr.. Mckinley bowed,
smiled and extended his hand.
But the young man did not grasp it.
So quickly that the watchful eyes Of
the Presidents bodyguard had no hint
of Tho menace in his movement. he
raised the hand in which the handker-
chief was held and fired two shots at
the President. The handkerchief had
covered a revolver, which he had car.
ried thus openly through the crowd.

PUNISHMENT FOR AssA1LANT.
Only General Statutes Cover Attempt

to Take Presidents Life.
There is no law outside Of general
criminal statutes for the punishment Of
attempting the life of the President Of
the United States. The question of pass
ing such q law has been discussed in Con-
gress. but nothing has been done. The
President is a citizen of the United
States, and his murder or an attempt on
his life is punished as would be the MUIR
der Of any other citizen. Should this as
sault upon President Mckinley prove to
be a murder, the murderer would be exc
cuted either by the laws of New York or
the Federal statutes for the District Of
Columbia. But should the President re-
cover the charge brought against his as
sailant would be assault with attempt to
commit murder.
In New York, where this would-be as
sassin must be tried, the sevcrest penalty
for assault with attempt to commit MUIR
der is ten years imprisonment, while in
the District of Columbia the penalty for
the same crime is imprisonment for from
seven to twenty years.
