clear above the hum of voices. the shuffling of myriad feet and vibrating waves of applause that ever and anon swept here and there over the as semblage.
 There was an instant of almost com plete silence. The president stood stock still, look of hesitancy, almost of bewilderment on his face. Then he retreated step while pallor began to steal over his features. The mul- titude, only partially aware that something serious had happened, paused in surprise, while necks were craned and all eyes turned as one to the rostrum where great tragedy was being enacted.
 Then came a commotion. With the leap of tigers three men threw them selves forward, as with one impulse and sprang toward the would-be as sassin. Two of them were United States secret service men who were on the lookout and whose duty it was to guard against just such calamity as had here befallen the president and the nation. The third was by stander, a negro, who had only an in stant previously grasped in his duslly palm the hand of the president. As one man the trio hurled themselves upon the presidents assailant. In a twinkling he was borne to the ground, his weapon was wrested from his grasp and strong arms pinioned him down.
 Then the multitude which thronged the edifice began to came to real izing sense of the awfulness of the scene of which they had been un- willing witnesses.
 A murmur arose, spread and swelled to a hum of confusion, then grew to a babel of sounds, and later to pam | demonium of noises.
 The crowds that moment before had stood mute and motionless, as n bewildered ignorance of the enormity of the thing, now, with a single i'm pulse surged forward toward the stage of the horrid drama, while a hoarse cry welled up from thousand | throats and thousand men charged forward to lay hands upon the perpe- | trator of the dastardly crime. For a moment the confusion was | terrible. The crowd surged forward regardless of consequences. Men shouted and fought, women screamed and children crief. Some of those nearest the doors fled from the edifice in fear of stampede, while hun dreds of others from the outside

ing his head in his hands.
 In an instant Secretary Cortelyou and President Milburn were at his side. His waistcoat was nurriedly opened the president meanwhile ad- monishing those about him to remain calm and telling them not to be alarmed.
 But you are wounded" cried his secretary, "let me examine"
 No, l think not" answered the president. II am not badly hurt, l assure you"
 Nevertheless his outer garments were hastily loosened and when a trickling stream of crimson was seen to wind it's way down his breast, spreading it's tell-tale stain over the white surface of the linen, their worst fears were confirmed.
 A force of exposition guards were on the scene and an effort was made to clear the building. By this time the crush was terrific. Spectators crowded down the stairways from the galleries, the crowd on the floor surged forward toward the rostrum, while, despite the strenuous efforts of police and guards, the throng with out struggled madly to obtain admis- sion.
 The presidents assailant in the meantime had been hustled by eXposi- tion guards to the rear of the build ing, where he was held while the building was cleared and later he was turned over to Superintendent Bull of the Buffalo police department, who took the prisoner to No. 13 police sta ton and afterward to police head quarters. As soon as the crowd in the Temple of Music had been dispersed sufficiently, the president was removed in the automobile ambulance and taken to the exposition hospital, where an examination was made. The best medical skill was summoned, and within brief period several of Buff falo's best-known practitioners were at the patients side.

points of ingress and egress to the building.
 The president was in cheerful mood, and was enjoying to the full the hearty evidence of good will which everywhere met his gaze. Upon his right stood John G. Milburn. of Buff faIo, president of the Pan-American exposition, chatting with the presi- dent, and introducing to him persons of especial note who approached. Upon the presidents left stood MT. Cortelyou.
 It was shortly after four o'clock, when one of the throng which sur rounded the presidential party, a medium-sized man of ordinary appear ance and plainly dressed in black ap- preached as if to greet the president. Both Secretary Cortelyou and Presi- dent Milburn noticed that the mans hanu was sWathed Tn DandaSe or handkerchief. Reports of bystanders differ as to which hand. He worked his way amid the stream of people mp to the edge of the dais until he was within two feet of the president.
 President Mckinley smiled, bowed and extended his hand in that spirit of geniality the American people so well know, when suddenly the sharp crack of a revolver rang out lond and

HOUSEWIFE SUGGESTIONS.

Copper nails with huge heads are the latest for holding down floor coverings. They are especially ef- fective on green or blue terry.
 Cut glass knobs are considered much smarter on colonial furniture just at present than even the per- fectly plain brass trimmings.
 Pieces of unslacked lime in earthen bowls placed in different rooms will. It IS said, improve the atmosphere on a humid day. The lime will absorb the water from the air.
 Woodwork and floors painted green in combination with delicately lowered walls and big blossomed curtains are the favored bedroom decorative scheme of the hour.
 Milk, cream. machine oil and meat juice should be washed out in cold water immediately; soap may be used on the meat juice. Tea and cof- fee stains should be treated just as fruit stains. Soak medicine stain in alcohol and it will respond.
 To clean mating, sweep it twice. first with a stiff broom. working along the grain of the straw, then crosswise with a soft broom dipped in warm water, rinsing with clean water. This brightens all sorts of colored mating, and also saves it. in a measure. from fading.

CONDITION MONDAY A. M.
Not Out of Danger But Physicians
 Very Hopeful.

Buffalo, Sept. 9,-At an early hour this morning physicians reported uthat the president passed quiet night and that no unfavorable symptoms had ap- peared. Five consultations of the em- inent surgeons in attendance were held Sunday, and each time their verdict was favorable.
 The president converses with the physicians as they attend him and is clear-headed all the time.
 The doctors say that if the patient shows no change for the worse by Tuesday he will undoubtedly recover, yet he is in a serious condition.

had tired Mrs. Mckinley, and on re- turning to the Milburn residence she took leave of her nieces, the Misses Barber, and the presidents niece, Miss Duncan, as well as their h..,tess, Mrs. Milburn, and went to her room to rest.
 Mir. Buchanan broke the news as gently as possible to the nieces and consulted with them and Mrs. Mil burn as to the best course to pursue in breaking the news to Mrs. McKin- 1 ley. It was finally decided that on her awakening or shortly thereafter MT. Buchanan should break the news to her, if, in the meantime her physician, Dr. RiNey, had not arrived.
 Mrs. Mckinley awoke from her sleep about 5:30 o'clock. She was feeling splendidly, she said, and at once took up her crocheting, which, as is well known, is one of her favor- | ite diversions.
 Immediately on Mir. Buchanan's arr rival at the Milburn home he had tele- phonic communication herewith cut off, for already there had been several calls, and he decided on this as the wisest course to pursue, lest Mrs. Me Kinley, hearing the continued ring ing of the telephone bell, might in- quire what it meant.
 l While the light of day remained Mrs. Mckinley continued with her crocheting, keeping to her room. When it became dusk and the presi- dent had not arrived, she began to feel anxious concerning him.
 "I wonder why he does not come," she asked one of her nieces. | There was no clock in Mrs. McKin- leys room, and when it was seven o'clock she had no idea it was so late, and this is when she began to feel anxious concerning her husband, for he was due to return to Mr. Milburn's house about six o'clock At seven o'clock, Dr. RiXey arrived at the Nlilburn residence. He had been driven hurriedly down Delaware avenue in an open carriage. As he came up MT. Buchanan was out on the | lawn conversing with reporter. Do you know" said Mr. Buchanan, ''I had sort of premonition of this? Since early morning I had been ex- tremely nervous and feared that something might go wrong. Our trip to the falls was uneventful, but what an awful sad ending to our day!"
 At 7:20 p. m., Dr. RiNey came out of the house, accompanied by Col. Webb Hayes, a son of former Presi- dent Hayes, who is friend of Pres ident Mckinley. They entered a car riage and returned to the exposition hospital.
 After Dr. Rixey had gone Director General Buchanan said that the doc tor had broken the news in a most gentle manner to Mrs Mckinley He said she stood it bravely, though con- siderably affected.
 If it was possible to bring him to her she wanted it done. Dr. Rixey assured her that the president could be brought with safety from the ex- position grounds, and when he left Mr. Milburn's it was to complete all arrangements for the removal of the president.
 At 7:30 Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and Miss Wilson called, and were admitted to the Milburn resi- dence.

Announced the Awful News and
 Started on a Special for Buffalo.
 Burlington, Nt., Sept. 1.-The first news of the attempted assassination of President Mckinley reached Vice. President Mckinley at Isle Lamotte at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the vice-president was informed over the telephone that there was a rumor that the president had been shot. It was confirmed by another message a moment later. The vice. president seemed stunned by the news, put his hands to his head and then exclaimed: My God"
 Those around him were immediate ly informed of the tragedy, and it was decided to announce it to the com pany of thousand people, who had gathered to hear Col. Roosevelt speak at the annual outing of the Vermont Fish and Game league.
 Senator Proctor made the an- nouncement, and many persons in the audience burst into tears. A later bulletin was received stating that the president was resting quietly, and that the chances were favorable for his recovery.
 "Good,' exclaimed the vice-presi- dent, and his face lighted up. He showed his pleasure by eagerly an- nouncing the good news to the as- sembly.
 The vice-president then left imme- diately on the yacht Fl Frida, owned by w. Seward Webb, and came to this city as quickly as possible, having di- rected that all messages should be held for him here. The yacht was to have gone to Arrow Point, where a special train was waiting for the vice. president, but the train was sent on to Burlington, and was there when the yacht came into the harbor at s: 15 p. m.
 President Clement of the Rutland railroad placed the train at the dis posal of the vice-president, and made arrangements to take him on it to the scene of the tragedy.

Buffalo, Sept. 6.-Just a brief A hours ago the newspapers of the city blazoned forth in all the pomp of headline type The Proudest Day In Bufalo's History"
 Tonight in sackcloth and ashes, in sombre type, surrounded by gruesome borders of black. the same newspa- pers are telling in funeral tones to borrified populace the deplorable de- tails of The Blackest Day In The History Of Buffalo,
 President Mckinley, the idol of the American people, the Hation's chief executive and the city's honored guest, lies prostrate, suffering bangs assassin while his life hangs in the balance.
 Out on Delaware avenue, at the home of John G. Milburn, president of the Pan-American exposition, with fearful face and heart torn by con- Aicting hopes and fears, sits the faith full wife, whose devotion is known to all the nation.
 It was few moments after p. m., while President Mckinley was hold ing public reception in the great Temple of Music on the Pan-American grounds, that the cowardly attack was made, with what success time alone can tell.
 Standingin the midst of crowds num- boring thousands, surrounded by ev- cry evidence of good will, pressed by a motley throng of people, showered with expressions of love and loyalty, besieged by multitudes, all eager to clasp his hands-amid these surround ings, and with ever-recurring plaudits of an army of sightseers ringing in his ears, the blow of the assassin fell, and in an instant pleasure gave way to pain, admiration to agony, folly turned to fury and pandemonium fol lowed.
 Tonight a surging, swaying, eager multitude throngs the citys main thoroughfares, choking the streets in front of the principal newspapers, scanning the bulletins with anxious ayes and grooming or cheering in turn at each succeeding announcement, as Ihe nature of the message sinks or buoys their hopes.
 } Down at police headquarters, sur lDunded by stern faces. inquisitors of the law, is d medium-sized man of commonplace appearance, with his fixed gaze directed on the floor, who presses his lips firmly together and Istans with an air of assumed indif- ference to the persistent stream of questions, arguments, objurgations, and admonitions with which his cap 8ors seek to induce or compel him to talk.
 It was just after the daily organ re- eital in the splendid Temple of Music that the dastardly attempt was made.
 Planned with all the diabolical in- genuity and finesse of which anarchy ST nihilism is capable, the would-be assassin carried out the work without R hitch, and should his designs fail and the president survive, only to Di- vine providence can be attributed that benefcent result.
 The president, though well guarded ny United States secret service de- Ieetiyes, was fully exposed to such an attack as occurred. He stood at the t4ge of the raised dais upon which stands the great pipe organ at the east side of the magnificent structure. Throngs of people crowded in at the various entrances to gaze upon their chief executive, perchance to clasp his aand, and then fight their way out in the good natured mob that every min ate swelled and multiplied at the

A True Fish Story.

1t may be wicked to fish on Sun
day, but it would be difficult now
to convince Mr.. Geo. Scho6eld that
it is not lucky day. Last Sun
day he caught a sturgeon weighing
2S7 pounds and measuring 8 feet
and 4 inches in length. This is
the largest sturgeon ever caught in
the Kootenai, although Mr.. Scho-
field has number of big ones to his
credit. He has caught over 2 tons
this summer. He says he had to
take an ak and knock the big fellow
in the head, as one would a hog to
kill it. Several of Mr.. Schofeld's
neighbors viewed the big fish and
vouch for its size.

The smallpox epidemic seems
to be under control, as no new

town limits for 13 days. Not a
single new case has appeared from

authorities took the matter in hand,
except in cases where the party was

however, that the utmost care
should not be cor tinued against
