Plow Exhibition.

The great test of one man
pulling a 14in. GAINESVILLE Gang
Plow, unassisted, was shown in
the field of Daniel Nelson, just
west OF town, last Friday after
noon. The exhibition is to
show the difference between a II
in. walking plow and a 14in gang
plow. A hin. walking plow
takes some four hundred pounds
to draw it while the gang takes
some, six hundred, according to
a Fairbanks standard tester.
A large crowd of farmers we're
present and many valuable points
were learned about a plow. The
exhibit was a success and every
thing went off as advertised and
had it not been for what might
have proven a terrible accident
everything ran along smoothly.
Shortly after the strong man had
been hitched to the plow and
everything was ready, one of
those red dodgers announcing
the exhibit came blowing along
and blew Just in front of the
HORSE, which frigh tened him so
he started to run and kick and
there was great scattering of
the crowd and it was with diff
Guilty that the HORSE was stopped.
The three judges were the only
ones hurt to speak of. Stub Story
was knocked down and for few
moments he thought he was
minus his breaking apparatus.
A-wheel ran over Jim EllsburY's
sore foot and he had to be carried
off the field on a stretcher and
the other judge, Chas. Rush,
tumbled all oyer himself trying
to get out of the way. It is
thought the fellow had been too
well cared for and if the company
ever sends him out here again
"Pap" says he is going to put a
kicking strap on him before he
will allow him to be hitched up.
The latter part Of this story
can be taken for what worth.
We arc not responsible.

TRIBUTES OF THE
 CABINET MEMBERS

Brnslo, Sept. H.-Four members of fba Cabinet, Secretary Long. Secretary Hitch- cock. Secretary Wilson and Postmaster- General Smith, held an informal confer- ence at the Buffalo Club at 4 o'clock this evening. The meeting lasted fifteen minutes. The members save their assent to. the change of plans whereby funeral services at the Milburn house were ad- vanced to Il a. m. tomorrow to permit the lying in state of the body at the city Fall tomorrow afternoon.
 The rest of the time was taken up in discussion of later funeral arrange Dlents.
 The members of the Cabinet this even- ing had not yet regained the composure dispelled by the event of the early morn ing hours. With some of them 1t seemed impossible to conceal their grief at the untimely loss of their great leader and chief. Those of them who could find the heart to give expression to senti- ments in tribute of the dead President were succinct put unrnistakable in their utterances.
 Secretary Long. with great warmth and fervor, merely said: "lIe was a model man and statesman.
 Secretary Hitchcock was almost as country, his family ahd to all who knew
 Fostmaster-General smith paid this tribute: "A loyable man of dndlieSt sWrt, leaueE oi Hue4uaieu 1aSt AtNs sagacity, and a ruler who was firm and decided as he has been gracious.
 Secretary Root was apparently over come with grief. He spoke with the salne tremor that characterized his words as he met the reporters outside MifruTn House last nighs and informed them that the end was near. The Secretary of War said; T cannot seem to find it possible to say anything to the urcss nJ this- time"
 Secretary Wilson asked that he might be excused from attempting to give ut terance to his sentiments T am too la tigued and the death of the President Is too recent to permit me to express nlyself adanuatqlv n

But whether this theory Is es- tablished, it seems probable that the result of the autopsy will give rise to a medical controversy. The gangrened con- dition of the interior wounds which the physicians thought were healed and the fact that the physicians announced posi- lively that the kidney the bullet tore in its passage through the abdomen was un- injured, were so contrary to what was expected by the public after the state ment of the physicians that discussion seems inevitable. The poisoned bullet theory might of course, account for the sudden puzzling reversal of President McKinley's condition just when the phy- siicans laid such great stress upon his improved condition and gave such strong hope of his recovery. The bullet itself was not found, although an hours search was made for 1t. The X-ray appliances were not at hand for the use of the phy- sicians and the location of the bullet is still unknown.
 Secretary Cortelyou gave out the fol- lowing statement of the funeral cere- monies: There will be private ceremony at the Milburn house Sunday. Sept. l5 at Il a. m.. consisting of reading the Scripture. prayer by the Rev. Dr. Locke and the singing of a hymn.

 Yes that Is correct. That bullet evil dently struck button and then shied off without doing any damage. Had it not met some obstruction, it surely would have killed the President Immediately. Below the locality where 1t struck the flesh was quite fiabby and confused To- days investigation developed the fact that the first bullet struck the President on the, right side of the breast bone, near the edge and between the second and third ribs. In our original exajmination we said 1t was to the left of the breast bone The mistake in the first announce- ment was due to the very hasty examIna- tion we made at the time of the shoot ing when the question was not SO much as to the exact locality of the wounds as to that of getting to work to save the Presidents life

HOW ROOSEVELT
 HEARD THE NEWS

sa1ett ga, N. Y. Sept. H.-When Theo-
 dore Roosevelt and his guides let me | on a hunting expedition, the then Vice President fully believed President Mc- Kinley was entirely oNt of danger nnd
 on the GsP6 nSad T"ad to the Srecton of Mount Marcy, the highest peak in the Adirondacks regicu. They had not been gone over three hours when mounted with messages to the Vice-President, stating that President Mckinley was in a critical condition. The messages had frCm there telephoned to a point ten miles south of the Tawahus Club House Extla guides and runners were at onco deployed from the club in the direction of Mount Marcy with instructions to sound Q general alarm in order to ind the Vice-President as soon as possible.
 The far-reachtng megaphone code and the litile cracking signals of the noun tain climbing guides. as hour after hour passed away. marked the progress of the search of the mountaineers as they as the afternoon began to merge with the shades of early evening and as the searchers were nearing the summit of the lofty mountain, the responsive echoes of distant signals were heard and answered and gradually the scouts and the Roose- welt party came within hailing distance was reached and informed of the critical condition of the President, he could scarcely believe the burden of the mes sage personally delivered to him.
 Startled at the serious nature of the news the Vice President, at 5:45 o'clock. Immediately started for the Tahawus Club. In the meantime. the Adirondack stage line placed at his disposal relays of horses covering the thirty-five miles to North Street. A delugfng thunder storm had rendered the roads unusually heavy. Without any delay he moved as rapidly as possible in the direction of North Creek. the northern terminus of the Adirondack Railroad, where his sec retary William Loeb, Jr., and Superin- tendent C. D. Hammond. of the Della ware and Hudson Railway. with a spe- cial train was awaiting his arrival.
 soon after Colonel Roosevelt started night came on and rendered the trip CXceediEgly difficult and dangerous. as mile after mile was travelled in almost darkness, but the expert guides piloted the Vtce-President safely to his objective point, Nos until he dashed up to the special train at North Creek at 5:22 o'clock this morning did he learn that President Mckinley had passed away at Buffalo at 215 o'clock Mr. 0eb, his secretary. was the first Co break the news to him.

DR. MANN TALKS OF
 PRESIDENTS WOUND

Milburn House. Buffalo. Sept II Tho official announcement of the physicians, as result of their autopsy on the Pres tdents body. that death result from gan grene Of the wounds, led to much discus sion of the causes leading up to this gangrene. It developed that Dr. Wasdin. one of the consulting physicians. and an expert Of high standing in the Marine Hospital service, strongly supported the view that the murderous bullet had been poisoned, and that this was one of the moving causes of the gangrenous condi- grened fiefish was a source of much sur prise, reaching a circumference about the size of a silver dollar about the internal wounds.

 Just word in conclusion,' said Dr. physicians and myself something should be said about the bulletins issued every day. We aimed to make them as plain as possible and to state the facts simply. They were given as hour to hour talks of the Presidents condition, containing no opinions nor making any prognostica- tions-simply a narration of conditions made with desire to keep the public informed from day to day of the actual state of affairs.
 Another one of the physicians said: 50 far as the treatment of the. case was concerned, both from a surgical and medicinal staudpofnt, 1t was successful The abdominal wound was fatal from the start The physicians should feel relieved over the result of the autopsy because it revealed the fact that the abdominal wound was necessarily fatal and that nothing was done or could be done that would more than delay the inevitable re- suit The government, the family and the profession were fairly represented among the physicians and surgeons mak- ling the autopsy"
