nounced to the village that our beloved
President lay dying, and sorrow fell like a
pail over the hearts of all who listened.
Hopes for his recovery having been raised
so high by all announcements of the attend
ing physicians, the sudden sad news was
most shocking and on ali sides there was
but one expression of feeling-grief and
horror at the dastardly assassin's work, and
the belief that all anarchistic utterances so
deadly in their effect, should be summarily
suppressed. All private flags are half-mast-

lican campaign flag, its broad fold of black
bespeaking the peoples grief for their dead
chief. The work laid down by this noble
servant of the people will be taken up by
one as loyal in heart and as earnest in pur-
pose, and it seems impossible that the spirit
of anarchy should fail to understand that
however often it may strike, this govern
ment of the people, by the people, and for
the people shall not perish from the face of
the earth" ....Dr. Gehring, nerve specialist,
