THE ASSASSIN.
Down at police headquarters sar-
rounded by the stern faced inquisit-
ors OF the law, is a medium sized
man OF commonplace appearance
with his fixed gaze directed on the
floor, who presses his lips firmly to-
gether and listens with an air oil az.
sumed indifference to the persistent
stream OF questions. arguments, ob-
iprations and admopitions with
which his captors seek to induce or
compel him to talk. 1t was just af-
ter the daily organ recital in the
splendid Temple OF Music that the
dastardly attempt wes made. Plan
ned with all the diabolical ingenuity
and finesse OF which anarchy or
nihilism is capable, the would-be as
sassin carried out his work without
hitch and should his design fail
and the president survive, only to
divine providence can be attributed
that beneficent result.
THE ASSASSIN'S APPROACH.
1t was shortly after o. clock when
one of the throng which surrounded
the presidential party, medium
sized man OF ordinary appearance
and plainly dressed in black. ap-
preached asifto greet the president.
Both Secretary Cortelyou and Presi
dent Milburn noticed the mans hand
was swathed in a bandage or han
kerchief. The reports Of the by
ISLANDERS differ as to which hand.
He worked his way amid the stream
of people till he was within two feet
OF President Mckinley who smiled,
bowed and extended his hand ip
that spirit of geniality the Ameri-
can people 80 well know. Suddenly
the sharp crack OF revolver rang
out loud and clear above the hum OF
voices, the shuffiing OF myriad feet
and the vibrating waves ofapplause
that ever and anon swept here and
there oyer the assemblage.

Attempted Assassination of PreSidnt
rlckinIey at Buffalo.
THE WORK OF AN ANARCHIST
President Seriously Wounded by Two Revolver Shots
But the Doctors Say he Will Recover.

On Friday last the country was
startled by the telegraphic announce
ment that President VIM. Mckinley
had been shot down by ananarchist,
and that he would certainly die from
his wounds. After the first shock
from this sudden tragedy, people
gathered in little clumps, the sam e
here, as in every city and hamlet in
The land, anxiously inquiring for
news, and muttering subdued curses
upon the class OF people who are so
depraved as to teach these things
and upon the ignorant who seek the
lives of men who difer from them.
Then came later bulletins to the ef-
feet that the PRESIDENT was resting
easily, and that strong hopes of his
ultimate recovery were growing up
in the minds OF the skilled surgeons
called to his aid. A fervent prayer
went up from the people OF the land
that he may be spared to his coun
try. The tragedy occurred at Buf-
falo, where President Mckinley and
wife were attending the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition. The President had
delivered his great speech, said by
some to be the effort OF his life, and
was at the time holding a reception
in the Temple of Music.
The person who shot him was
Leon Czolgosz, a Poll who lives at
Cleveland, Ohio.
Below are given the details, which
followed the telegraphic bulletins, in
daily newspapers:
Buffalo, Sept. 6,-President Nc
Kinley, the idol OF the American
people, the nations chief executive
and the city's honored guest, lie g
PROSTATE, suffering the pangs in
fiicted by the bullet OF a coward as
sassin while his life hangs in the ball
ance. Out on Delaware avenue at
the home Of John G. Milburn, presi-
dent OF the Pan-American exposi-
ton, with fearful face and her heart
torn by conflicting hopes and fears
sits he faithful wife whose devotion
is known to all the nation,
1t was few moments after 4
O'Clock while President McKinle y
was holding 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.
Standing in the midst of crowds
numbering thousands, surrounded
10y every evidence ofgood will, show
cred with expressions OF love and
loyalty and besieged by multitudes
all eager to clasp his hands, amid
these surroundings and with the
ever recurring plaudits OF the army
OF ST ghtseers ringing in his ears, the
blow OF the assassin fell and in an
instant pleasure gave way to pain,
admiration to agony, folly t urned
to fury and pandemonium followed.
Tonight a surging, sway ing, eager
multitude throngs the city's main
The pioneer press. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 1893-190?, 1901-09-12

The multitude, only partially
aware that something serious had
happened, paused in surprise while
necks were craned and all eyes turn
ed as one to the rostrum where the
great tragedy was being enacted.
A COMMOTION FOLLOWED.
Then came a commotion. Three
men threw themselves forward, rs
with one impulse and sprang toward
the would-be assassin. Two ofthem
were United States secret service
men who were on the look out and
whose duty it was to guard against
Just such q calamity as had befallril

A Choice Bit Of Homely Wisdom.

Here is Il choice bit of hOnely wis
dom from the writer of "Juttings by
the Wayside," in the Mitilinburg "Tele-
graph:
"Nine-tenths of the unhappy mar
riages are the result of gren human
calves being allowed to run at large i'm
the society pastures without any yoke
on them. They marry and have chill
drcn before they have moustaches;
they are fathers of twins before they
are the proprietors of pairs of pants,
and the little girls they marry are
old women before they are M. Oc-
casionally one of these gosling mar
riages turns out all right, but it is n
clear case of luck. If there was law
against young galoots sparkling and
marrying before they have cut all their
teeth, we suppose the cusses would
evadc it in some way, but there ought
to he sentiment against it.
1t is time enough for these bantams
to think Of finding pullet when they
have raised money enough to buy n
bundle of laths to build n hen house.
But they see girl who looks cunning
and they are afraid there will not be
enough girls to 90 around and then
they begin to get in their wotk real
spry; before they are aware Of the
sanctify of the marriage relation they
are hitched for lifeand before they own
n cook stove or bedstead they have to
get up in the night and go after doe
tor, so frightened that they run them
selves out of breath and abuse the doe
tor because he doesn't run too, then
when he gets there he can't find linen
enough in the house to wrap upa doll
baby.

Embarrassing Situation.

A certain young woman's benevolent
disposition received severe shock on
recent Sunday evening. She was at
church and sat directly behind we'll
dressed stranger, with a ravollng hang
ing to his collar. Being one of those
generous-hearted, whole-souled girls
who grow up to be motherly old ladies,
a friend to everybody in town, she
thought how glad she would be if some
kind-hearted girl would he as kind to
her father, were he to go to church
with travelling hanging down his back,
SC when the audience rose for the first
hymn she concluded to pick 1t off.
Carefully raising her hand, she gave
a little twitch, but it was longer than
she supposed, and a foot or more al
peared. Setting her teeth she gave
a pull and about yard of that horrible
thread hung down his back. This was
getting embarrassing, but determined,
she gave another yank and discovered
that she was unrayeling his undershirt.
Her discontinue was so painful that
chlforofOrm would not have alleviated
her sufierings nor pint of powder hid
den her bushes when the gentleman
turned with an inquiring look to see
what was tickling his neck.

Letter to A. j. CrosgrOve.
MIDDLEBURGH, PA.

Dear Sir: Perhaps you would like
to take the agency for the foremost
paint in the world: Devoe lead and
zinc. 1t is right to put before you the
facts as to why it is the foremost.
(1) Best materials; lead, zinc, dryer,
C )lor, and lins eed oil, ONLY used in it.
(2) 1t contains nothing else what
ever; no water, no alkali, no benzine,
no petroleum, no fish oil, no baryters,
no whiting-no adulterant.
(3) Your state chemist not only has
analyzed the paint, and verifies (l) and
(2) but he is going to buy it and an
alyze it occasionally, and thus watch
over the interests of your customers.
(4) 1t is proportioned for wear.
(5) 1t is mixed intimately an d
ground fine.
(6) 1t is full-measure (23l cubic in.
a gallon).
(7) 1t is sold at so low price as to
make it cheaper than lead and oil.
(S) 1t wears twice as long, and there
fore costs less than half as much by the
year.
10y You can refund the money if any
customer is dissatisfied.
(10) We are responsible; have bten
in business las years without break,
and are the largest paint-manufacturers
in the United States.
Yours truly,
+. w. DEvOE & Co.

Nelson Freed Dead,

For the second time in five weeks,
Death invaded the home Of the family
of Edward Freed, at $50 o'clock sun,
day evening" just as the shades of even
ing, of that beautiful Aatumn day he
gan to close around us, the pure spirit
of Nelson Freed winged its way to the
God who gave it. Sept. II, his sister,
Sallic, passed away with that dreaded
disease, typhoid fever. Scarcelya week
had passed until the cruel fangs OF
fever fastened themselves upon two
brothers, Charles and Nelson, and for
three weeks the deceased suffered, and
seemed to be hanging in Il balance uL-
til finally the last faint hope of loving
friends had to yield to the will of Him
who Is too wise to err.
Nelson was truly a model young
man; he was loved and respected by all
who knew him, and nothing but praise
for his noble, kind and Christian deeds
is heard from his friends and neigh
bors. He was converted six years ago
aud united with the United Evangelic-
al church, Of which body he was con-
sistcnt member, he being superintend-
ent of the Sunday school, at the time
of his death. He died rs he had lived,
trusting in God. Shortly before he
passed away, in strong clear voice he
sang two verses of that beautiful hymn
Cleaning on the Everlasting Arm,
after which he offered beautiful pray
er, then fell peacefully asleep. He is
survived by his parents, two brothers
and three sisters, who have the SYM
pathy of the entire community. His
age was 10 years, II months and IL
days. The funeral took place Tuesday.
Services were conducted by his pastor,
Rev. A. ID. Granny.
Nelson was elected teacher of the
primary school, in which capacity he
was permitted to act but one week be-
fore he took sick. A FRIEND.
