an attack as occurred. He stood at
the edge of the raised dats upon
which stands the great pipe organ at
the east side of the magnificent
structure. Thnongs of people crowded
in ut the various entrances to gaze
upon their chief executive, perchance
to clasp his hand and then fight their
way out in the good-natured mob that
every minute swelled and multiplied
at the points Of ingress and egress to
the building. The president was In
a cheerful mood and enjoying TO the
full the hearty evidence of good
will which everywhere met his
gaze. Upon his right stood John G..
Milburn, of Buffalo, president Of the
Pan-American exposition, chatting
with the president and introducing to
him especially persons OF note VINO
approached. Upon the president b
left stood Mr.. Cortelyou.
II -was shortly after p. m. when
one of the throng which surrounded
the presidential party, medium-sizeo
man Of ordinary appearance and PLAIN
iy dressed In black, approached as u TO
greet the president. Both Secretary
corteiyou and President Milburn
noticed that the mans hand was
swathed In a bandage or handker'
chief. Reports of bystanders differed
as TO which hand. He worked his way
amid the stream Of people up to the
edoe of the dais until he was with In
about two feet Of the president.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand In the spirit
of penialty the American people so

Swallowed Creosote.

Alliance, Sept. Mrs. Chas. Rush,
of Fourth street. came near ending her
life Thursday night while suffering
mental trouble. Her husband took
razor away from her when she was
acting queerly, and thought she would
then make no effort at violence.
Later, however, she said she would
put some creosote in tooth to stop it
aching. She swallowed some of the
poison, but a doctor, who was quickly
summoned, saved her life.

ish moments a tragedy, 50 dramatic in
character, SO thrilling in it's intensity
that few who looked on will ever be
able to give a, sufficient account OF
what really did transpire. Even the
actors who were playing the principal
roles came out of 1t with blanched
faces, trembling limbs and beating
hearts, while their brains throbbed
with tumuit Of conflicting emotions,
which could not be clarified into H.
cid narrative of the events as they
really transpired.
PRESIDENTS MIND RE-
TAlNs ITS EQUILIBRIUM.
But of the multitude which wit,
messed or bore part in the scene
OF turmoil and turbulence there was
but one mind which seemed to retain
equilibrium, one hand which re-
mained steady, one eye which gazed
with unflinching calmness and one
voice which retained its even tenor
and faltered not at the most critical
juncture.
They were the mind and the hand
and tho eye and the voice Of President
Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assao
sims shots, he retreated a step, then
as the detectives Ieaped upon his as
sailant, he turned, walked steadily to
chair and seated himself, at the
aame time removing his hat and bow
ing his head In his hands.

MRS. M'KINLEY BORE
NEWS WITH FORTITUDE.
Asked That Her Husband Be Brought
to Her Side, II
Possible.

Buffalo, Sept. 7.-Immediately tho
president was cared for at the expo
s.tion grounds, Director General W..
|. Buchanan started for the Milburn
residence to install any information
that might reach there by telephone
or otherwise. Very luckily, he was
first to arrive with the information.
The Niagara Falls trip had tired Mrs.
Mckinley and on returning to the
Milburn residence, she took leave of
her nieces, the Misses Barber, and the
presidents niece, Miss Duncan, as
well as their hostess, Mrs. Milburn,
and went to her room to rest
Mr. Buchanan broke the news
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 Mckinley.
t was finally decided that on her
awakening, or shortly thereafter,
Mr. Buchanan should break the news
to her If in the meantime her physl-
cian, DR.. Rixey, had not arrived.
MRS. M'klNLEY AWokE
FEELING SPLENDiDLY.
Mrs. Mckinley awoke from her
sleep at about $50 o'clock. She was
feeling splendid, she said, and at once
took up her crocheting, which, as is
well known, is one of her favorite
diversions.
Immediately on Mr.. Buchanan's ar
rival at the Milburn home he had
telephone communication Herewith
cut off, for already there had been
several calls, and he decided on this
as the wisest course to pursue lest
Mrs. Mckinley, hearing the contia
ued ringing of the telephone bell
might inquire what it meant.
While the light of day remained
Mrs. Mckinley continued with heI
crocheting, keeping to her room

THE PRESIDENT
LOOKED BEWILDERED.

There was an instant Of ALMOST
complete silence. The president stood
stock still, look Of hesitancy almost
Of bewilderment upon his face. Then
he retreated a step, while a pallor be-
oan to steal over his features. The
multitude, only partially aware that
something serious had happened,
paused in surprise, while necks were
or aned and all eyes turned toward 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 wouId-be assas-
sin. Two Of them were United States
secret service men Who we're on the
lookout and whose duty II was to
guard against Just such calamity as
had here befallen the president ahd
The nation. The third was a bystand-
er, negro who had only an instant
previously grasped in his dusky palm

A MILD CASE OF SMALLPOX.
Miss Denning of GAINESVILLE, the Victim

Miss Denning of GAINESVILLE, the Victim.
A case of smallpox was uncovered in
this city on Thursday that for few
days caused more or less uneasiness, but
the authorities established quarantine
of the premises at once and ordered
vaccination of all persons exposed, so
there is very little of what may be con-
sidered a scare present in or about town
now. On Thursday Miss Kate Denning,
employed as waiteress at McKewan's
New Century Restaurant, called upon
Dr. Cleary to be treated for a rash. The
doctor thought the symptoms partook
something of the nature of smallpox and
called in DR.. McChesney who verified
his suspicious. Not being entirely salts
fed, however, they notified DR.. Suther-
land of the state board of health, who
came up from GAINESVILLE that evening,
made an examination of the case and
conceded with the views of the other
physicians. The disease is of very
mild type, but the necessary precautions
to prevent it's spread were Immediately
taken. The restaurant was closed and
the patient isolated. The eruption is
| now we'll advanced though Miss Denning
is scarcely sick enough to be confined in
bed. No other case of the infection
has come down during the week and it
is hoped the disease may be kept within
its present confines. It is the opinion of
the attending physician that the con-
tagion was brought here from Madison,
as it is known that parties have been
| boarding at this restaurant who came
from family where members were down
with the disease in that city.

KILLED BY THE TRAIN.
Peter Waldron Found Dead by the Track
just East of Town.

0'oi " aIafon round Dead by the Track
just East of Town.
When the west bound passenger train
reached this station last Thursday eve
ming the engineer reported that he
struck something just as he was round
ing the curve east of the station and
was unable to say whether it was man
or dog. The curve in track prevented
his headlight from distinguishing what
ever the obstacle was. A freight stand
ing upon the siding went east on arrival
of the passenger, and the trainmen on
reaching Milton Junction wired that the
body of a man lay along the track. The
section men were sent out to investigate
and about 9 o'clock returned with the
report that the remains were those of
Peter Waldron, who had followed the
vocation of mason about town for a num-
Der OF years past. The body was taken
to Clark's undertaking rooms and JUS
tice Smith notified, who summoned
coroners jury and the next morning con-
Quoted an inquest. From the testimony
taken it was developed that Waldron
and transient painter, Geo. Downer,
went to the river Thursday evening at
about 6 o'clock fishing. His companion
says Waldron did not stay long at the
river, some parts of his tackle did not
work right, and left soon after, taking
bottle of liquor that had been provided
for their entertainment. When the body
was found Waldron' S hat was gone and
one shoe was missing, neither of which
has been recovered. The inference
brought out at the inquest is that the
liquor got in it's work and in his confu-
sion Waldron lay down by the side of
the track and was hit by the train. DR..
Cleary who made an examination of the
body testified that he found the deceas-
ed had sustained broken leg, bones of
one hand broken, bruises u pom the side,
and the left side of the skull crushed.
The last mentioned injury was sufficient
to have caused death alone, and was
doubtless where he was hit by the pilot of
the engine. The jury consisting of S.
W. Wileman, G. H. Hitchcock, w. I'll.
Morrisey, w. Ell. Hutson, W. HI. and j.
r. Leedle, returned a verdict of acct
dental death in accordance with the
above facts.
Funeral services were held from the
home of his brother Saturday afternoon
conducted by Rev. Stephens and inter
ment took place in Fassett cemetery.
The deceased was about IS years of age
