ing Panic.

Columbus, O., Sept 15.-With pam
ic threatening in a crowd estimated at
$4,000 people, surging about the stand
erected in the capitol grounds, frantic
to secure a glimpse of Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the exercises arranged for
the dedication of the Mckinley monu-
ment were suddenly terminated after
the statute of the martyred president
had been hurriedly unveiled by Mrs.
Longworth. The prompt action of the
committee on arrangements was re-
garded as most fortunate, for the
crowd was beyond control and the
shrieking of women and children who
were caught in the crush was rapidly
working the crowd into a frenzy.
Many women tainted and were car
ried out of the crowd by the police.
Two were so badly hurt that they had
to be removed in an ambulance, but
both will recover. Throughout the eX-
citing scenes Mrs. Longworth remained
cool and self-pOsseSsed. Mr.. and Mrs.
IOngWorth had an exciting experience
in escaping from the crowd at the
capitol. From the speakers stand they
went through a window overlooking
the platform into the governors Of
tice but they were scarcely inside
when the people began tosurge through
the doors from the corridors, and the
office was quickly filled.
They then attempted to reach an au
tomObile which was waiting for them
on the street. but once outside they
were caught in a surging crowd. Find
ing no immediate avenue of escape
they fought their way out of the cap
itOl grounds and across Bond street
into the Outlook building. There they
remained until a carriage was secured
and the police cleared a way to it, and
they were driven to the Hotel Hart
man. Later they took train for Gin
cinnati. The committee on arrange
ments had expected an enormous
crowd. on account of the presence Of
Mrs. Longworth. but in view Of the
SOlemnity and dignity of the occasion
they believed the crowd would be
easily kept in restraint.

CHANGED WORLDS HISTORY
Story of the Beard of a Moslem Chief
Which Figured in Ancient
Warfare.

The most striking case in history
of the importance of trihes is fur
nished by the story of Musa, the lead
er Of the Moslem host which won
from ChristendoIn in three and a
half years dominions which it took
the SOLDIERS of the cross 20 genera
tions to win back. He had red
beard. This was triile.
Musa, though very great general,
was very vain man, and he dyed
his beard black. This was another
triae One of his captains chaffed
him on the subject, and Musa forth
with had him stripped and scourged.
For this. at the very height Of his
conquering career, Musa was recalled
by the caliph and disgraced This
made it impossible for him 10 COM
mand the Moslem army at the battle
of Tours, on the issue of which, as all
historians agree, the destinies of Eu-
rope and perhaps of the whole human
race depended
1t is almost certain that If the gen.
ius Of Musa had replaced the incom-
petence OF the half dozen tribal lead
ers whose dissensions made victory
impossible, the forces Of Islam would
have joiued hands from the west to
the east and inclosed Europe in theil

THE NEW FOOTBALL GAME.
Adopting New Set of Rules Might
Have a Tendency to Refine and
Harmonize 1t.

The press generally has fayorably
commented upon DR.. Rhees remark that
those who play football will have 10
play it as gentlemen or the game Will
have to go. Perhaps. says Vest
Pocket Condolences" in Four-TracK
News, every man has a different idea OF
what constitutes a gentleman, but in po-
lite daily intercourse the man who col
lided with another without apologizing
would not be considered entitled TO the
appellation
Ergo, when football players as gem
tlemen, butt into one another they must
stop bow, apologize and remark:
After you"
II one player jumps on another
players chest, and breaks a few ribs,
he must quickly step off and remark:
u beg your pardon"
II, when about to kick off. the kicker
should observe one of his opponents in
danger OF being hit by the BALL the least
he could do, ii he would claim to be a
gentleman, would be to stop long enough
to call fore"
But if the game were played in this
gentlemanly way it is barely possible
il would lose some of its exciting inter-
est and popularity.

pecially valuable when combined with

Who can doubt the efficacy OF such

Discovery? Who can doubt that 1t is a
most effective remedy for the several
diseases Tor which its Ingredients are so
highly recommended by the formost
writers on Ndterid Medical
1t is in the cure OF the more chronic
or lingering, persistent, and obstinate
cases OF bronchial, laryngal and lung
affections, attended by hoarseness and
severe cough, which if neglected or
badly treated would generally have run
into consumption, that Golden Med
ical Discovery has won the highest
praise from all who have observed its
marvellous control over these and kin

WORDS OF PRAISE WELL MERITED
BY WELL KNOWN ARTICLE.

So much has been written by the
standard medical authorities, % all the
several schools OF practice, in praise
OF the native, or American, medicinal
plants which enter into the composi-
ton of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, that in attempting to quote
from the various works on M0teria
Medicd one hardly knows where to
commence, since they are so volumin-
GUS that only the brieiest and most i'm
perfect reference can be presented in a
short article like this.
Briefly then let US say that the
Golden Medical Discovery" was
named from the sturdy little plant
Golden Seal, the root OF which enters
largely into its composition. Besides
this most valuable ingredient, IL con-
tains glyceric extracts OF Stone root,
Queen S root, Black CherrybSrk, Blood
root and Mandrake root.
Finley Ellingwood, NJ. D., an emin-
ent practitioner Of Chicago and PROBES
sor of Materid Medica in the Bennett
Medical College OF that city, in his
recently published work on Therapeu-
tics, saws OF Golden Seal root: ut is
the most natural OF stimuants to the
normal functions Of digestion. Its in
huence upon the mucous surfaces rem
ders it most important in catarrhal
gastritis inflammation of stomach and
gastric stomach) liberation
Many other authorities as we'll as DR..
Ellingwood eXtol the Hydrastis Golden
Seal), as a remedy for catarrhal dis
eases of the nasal passages, stomach,
bronchia, gall ducts, kidneys, intestines
and bladder Among these, we may
mention Prof John King, NJ. D., author
OF the American Dispensatory; Prof.
j. Nj. Scudder, NJ. D., in his Specific
Medication" DR.. Hale OF the Hahne-
mann Med. College OF Chicago; Grover
Coe, NJ. D., OF New York, in his rOr-
ganic Medicines" Dr. Bartholow OF JET.
ferson Med. College and scores OF other
leading medical writer's and teachers.
All the foregoing eminent authorities
extol the curative virtues of Golden
Seal in cases OF stomach, liver and in
festival weakness, torpor and liberation
of bowels. DR.. Ellingwood recommends
it most highly, Vim those cases of atomic
dyspepsia when the entire apparatus,
including the liver, is stagnant and
imperative" He also extols it mos,
highly in the many weaknesses and de-
rangements peculiar to women and
says, ut is most important remedy in
many disorders OF the womb" Golden
Seal root (Hydrastis) is an important
ingredient of DR.. Pierce's Favorite RE
scription for weak, nervous, rundown
women.
But TO return to the rGolden Medical
Discovery" it may be said that its cur
alive properties are not wholly depend
ent upon Golden Seal, valuable as it is,
as other equally potant ingredients add
greatly to its value and in fact are not
less important than the Hydrastis, OIL
Golden Seal.
In all bronchial, throat, lung ant
kindred ailments, Stone root, Black
Cherrybark, Queens root and Blood
root, each plays as important part
in effecting the phenomenal cures Of
rGolden Medical Discovery" as does
Golden Seal. All these ingredients
1ave the endorsement OF prominent
practitioners of all schools Of medicine
for the cure OF diseases OF the bronohis
throat and lungs.
