COULDN'T WEAR SHOES.

Sumpter, Ill.,, June 10.-Mrs. j. B.
Flanagan, of this place, has suffered
with Dropsy for fifteen years. She
was 30 very bad that for the last
three years, she has 20 been able to
wear her shoes. She had doctored all
the time, but vas gradually getting
worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for
some medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug
store in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded
himtohave his wife try Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and he bought six boxes. His
wife used five out of the six, before
she was entirely cured. She is now as
our and well as ever she was, COM
pletely restored to health, and free
from any symptom whatever of
Dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful ~deliverance, does not
half express her feelings, and she
and Mr. Flanagan are loud in their
praises of Dodd's Kidney, Pills, and of
Mr.. Dale for recommending this won
6erful remedy to them.
The fact. that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of Dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
County.

THE LEAvEN BEGINS TO WORK.
Logical Result OF the Attack ON the
Presidents Life Finds Express
sion in Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 9.-There will be no
more revolutionary speeches in public
in Chicago, if the police can prevent
them. The edict has gone forth from
Mayor Harrison and superintendent
of-Police O'Neil that such ~utterances
must be stopped, and the latter has
sent special orders to the commanding
officers of the various districts to de-
| tail men to be in attendance at all
meetings tina are supposed to be OF
anarchistic origin and cause n ar
rest of the speakers if violent Ian
guage is used.
Chief O'NeiT's order is the result OF
q conference he had with Mayor Har-
rison Saturday night. Information to
the effect that Leon Czolgosz, the
Buffalo assassin, received part of his
anarchist education in Chicago, and
hat he was one of those who attend
ed the meetings at which Emma Gold
man and other anarchist leaders
spoke in this city, coupled with Ia ex-
perience of the mayors family,
led Mr.. Harrison to decide on drastic
measures in dealing with the radicals.
Chief O'Neil was directed to get the
names of all the outspoken anarchists
now in the city, and to ascertain to
what extent their movement has pro-
crossed during the past three or four
years. From this time on anarchists
will have to be temperate in the Ian
guage they use in this city if they do
not wish to be thrown into Jail.

surged forward oward 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 beer hustled by exposi-
ton 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 a brief period several of Buff
falo's ~best-known practitioners were
at the patients side.

CURE SICK
Restoring Worn ont Soils.

The best way to restore worn-out
sandy soils is by "a of cow peas.
Take a b~adly-worn field, for instance,
and drill thickly with COW peas, using
whatever phosphoric or potassic fer
~tilizers may be available or cheapest.
Plow under the pea vines Tor make
and sell as hay) and sow down in
wheat or oats, as location may indi-
cate, all the time using all the barn
yard manure that can be saved. When
the grain is cut late corn may be
planted, and at laying by another
crop of peas grown, and cut and cured
for hay. Henceforth the land is not
worn out, and with proper ARE will
continue to improve. With a proper
rotation of crops, with COW peas every
three years at least, and some addi-
tional phosphate and potash, profita-

when the yice-president was informed
over the telephone hat there was .
rumor that the president had been
shot. 1t 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
~ informed of the tragedy, and it was
decided to it to the COM
pany of a thousand people, who had
gathered to hear Col. Roosevelt speak
at the annual outing of the Vermont

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 Ell Frida, owned
by w. Seward Webb, and came to this
city as quickly is possible, having de
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 vas there when
the yacht came into the harbor at
8:15 p. ID.
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
Gene of the tragedy.
Col. Roosevelt was asked at the
wharf for a statement for publication
and said:
