day. Miss Mary Simons, a daughter
of W. H. Simons, a prominent citi-
zen Of Warsaw, has returned from
Buffalo and states that she voluntarily
appeared before District Attorney
Penney, through the advice Of friends
in Buffalo. She said:. although

WINGED that it was signal to Czolgosz
from confederate. Miss Simons
related to District Attorney Penney
her story, which was corroborated
by her sister and a Miss Myers. both
of whom saw the red flag. That the
authorities attached some significance
to her statement is shown by the fact
that she was told not to mention the
incident to newspaper reporters at
Buffalo.

A child three years Of age died Of
drunkenness the other day in New York
City. The parents said they had given
the child whisky to strengthen him.
In their absence he found bottle Of
whisky and drank from it, until he fell
over in drunken stupor, from which
the physician could not arouse him.
That is only one case in several cases
Of baby drunkards recently noted. The
important fact Is that alcoholic stimu-
lants quickly develop the alcoholic habit
In children. This fact is just as true
when the alcohol is disguised as medi-
cine, usarsaparilla' or other "con-
pound.' So many medicines contain
alcohol, to the same extent that it is con-
tanned in beer or whisky, that parents
should be cautious what medicines they
give their children
There Is absolutely no alcohol, whisky
or intoxicant in any form in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, neither does
it contain opium or any other narcotic.

Stock Market Depressed.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE shock Of
the presidents relapse fell upon the
stock market with almost greater
force than did that OF the first attack
upon him. The measure of this eff
feet is seen in the fact that prices as
rule fell yesterday below the low
level of last Saturday. The laborious
course of restoration of prices during
the week had carried the average
level well back TO that ruling at the
close of last Friday, before the news
Of the shooting was known in Wall
street. A false report of the presi-
dents death had circulated in Lon
don yesterday and the papicky sell
ing from that center was thrown upon
the opening market here.
