is young, apparently about 80 years
old
1t is evident from papers on his
person he has been trailing the col
onel for a long wilhelm fact, he
had the colonel's itinerary written
on a sheet of note paper of a south
ern hotel
The man is without doubt dement,
ed Two insane proclamation"
were found on his person, in which
is set forth that it was his duty to
kill any man who aspired to a third
term
Quick action on the part Of by
ISLANDERS alone saved him from sud
den and violent death.
He was hustled to the police sta
ton, where he first refused to give
his name and reiterated time and
time again that he was justified in
killing the colonel and was sorry
that he had not done so.
He said that he had been trying
to get a chance to fire the shot that
would remove Roosevelt from the
world for long while, but had been
unable to get an opportunity.
Admitting his guilt in district
tent to kill and murder, and waving
preliminary examination, John
Schrank, would-be assassin of the
former president, was bound over to
municipal court for trial at the pres
ent term. Seeming wholly uncon-
scious of the danger Of possible VIC
lence, Schrank refused the offer of a
speedy trial, made by Judge Neele
B. Neelen, with the answer: 81 have
plenty of time and am willing to let
my trial take it's regular course" The
procedure did not consume moro
than few moments, Schrank mere
ly repeating his statement that he
shot Roosevelt and waving prelimi-
nary examination. The prisoners
bail was fixed at $500, which he
was unable to furnish.
The penalty called for by law for
Schrank's crime is from one to fif-
teen years.
While the questioning was going
on the crowd began to gather up
around the bench. Before the depu-
ties noticed them there were several
scores of persons gathered close to
the prisoner. There was no violence
even suggested, for the crowd was
only curious one After the crowd
had been forced back to their seats
the prisoner was led back to the Dull
pen" Here he sat alone, the other
prisoners crowding away from him
as one would from a snake.
The letter which was found on the
man who fired at the ex-president is
clearly the work of an unbalanced
mind. 1t is in a neat, careful hand
writing, but the misspelling of one
or two words shows that it was writ

PodgorltZa, Oct 16.-Hundreds of
prisoners were taken by the Monte
negrin forces when the Turkish posi-
tons at Chiptchanik, Vrani and Tusi
were captured, news of which reached
here on Monday.
There is great suffering among the
thousands of wounded brought here
from the front. Only three or four
surgeons are on hand to care for the
hundreds of serious cases. There is
also a lack of nurses and the food
supply is almost exhausted. 1t is un-
derstood that the men at the front are
also suffering great privations be-
cause of the incompetent equipment
with which they were forced to take
the field.
London, Oct. 15.-News from the

Dispatches from Sofia are to the eff

to the porte at once, calling for a re-

forty-eight hours.
Greece has already sent an ultima
tum demanding the release within
twenty-four hours of the Grecian ships
seized by Turkey.
In the face of all these threatening
developments the Turkish govern
ment has refused to withdraw from
its stand in opposition to the granting
of the demands for reforms in the
Balkan provinces A formal reply to
the note of the powers in regard to
these reforms was drawn up at a
meeting of the Turkish cabinet. The
reply is an emphatic refusal to con-
slider the reforms on the basis pro-
posed. Turkey proposes to make the
reforms in her own way.
Twenty thousand Turkish troops are
now concentrated at Scutari in antici
patton of an attack by the Montene
grins, who have SO far met with al
most uninterrupted success in their
advance into Turkish territory.

The Alexander Band

1t was a great day in the history Of
that small town. The currents and
cross currents of politics had swirled
up and down the main street, made
enemies throughout the community,
and led the most prominent citizens
to make foolish bets on the election.
Patriotism was playing thunder with
mems preconCeived notions of the die
tates Of politeness. The merest whis-
per would have precipitated the use
of firearms and hatpinsy The speak
er of the day took his place on the
platform, looked as wise as a treeful
of owls, and prepared to sweep the
crowd right off it's feet. He began
with reference to his noble candi-
date, who, full of patriotism, ambition,
and a desire to get the salary, was
willing to have himself elected.
How Alexander wept for other
worlds to conquer, you, most of you,
may all know" he began, but was in
terrupted by an offensive-looking per-
son, who let out this discouraging COM
ment:

knows we've been told about 1t often
enough. Popular Magazine.

The Sinner.

OF the late Bishop Charles c. Graf
ton a Fond du Lac man said the 9th
er day:
Bishop Grafton was remarkable for
the neatness and point of his pulpit
utterances
Once, during a disastrous strike,
capitalist of Fond du Lac rose in a
church meeting and asked leave to
speak The bishop gave him the floor,
and the man delivered himself of a
long panegyric upon captains of indus
try, upon the good they do by giving
men work, by booming the country, by
reducing the cost OF production, and
so forth.
when the capitalist had finished
his self-praises, and flushed and salts
fed, had sat down again, Bishop
Grafton rose and said with quiet sig
nificance:
rs there another sinner who would
like to say a word?"

other clothing, penetrated the body,
but how deeply is not known.
Despite the wound, despite the
blood that was flowing freely, the col
onel insisted on fulfilling his engage
ment with the people of Wisconsin.
H. F. Cochems introduced the col
onel and told the crowd what had
happened.
When the colonel arose to speak
there was tremendous cheering. He
drew his manuscript from his coat
pocket and showed his audience
where the bullet had gone directly
through it,
He pointed out the bullet hole to
the crowd and said, ''You seA it takes
more than that to kill Bull Moose. -
AS the colonel opened his Goa and
vest it was seen that almost the en-
tire right side of his shirt was COW
cred with blood He said that if it
had not been for the manuscript he
had in his pocket on that side he
would have been killed.
The cOlonePs physical strength.
however, was not equal to his cOur-
age, and when half way through his
speech he had to stop
Col Roosevelt was taken to the
Emergency hospital, placed on the
operating table, and six physicians
made an examination of the wound.
They found that the bullet had
penetrated much more deeply than
the first superficial examination led
them to believe, and all efforts to
locate it were futile.
Col. Roosevelt left here for Chi
cago Monday night, arriving there
about $3.50 a. m. He was taken at
once to Mercy hospital, where a num-
Der of prominent surgeons examined
his wounds. The doctors decided not
to extract the bullet for the present.
The exact location of the bullet was
not announced by the surgeons but it
was stated that the celebrated pa
tlent was not in any danger, unless
blood poisoning sets in.
As soon as he is able to leave Chi
cago Col. Roosevelt will be taken to
Oyster Bay. He will remain at home
there until he is completely mended
and will take no active part in the
CAMPAIGN.
The fact that his injury was such
that it would force him into retire
ment for some time was pointed out
TO the colonel by the surgeons at the
hospital. They were emphatic in tell
ing him that to assure his complete
recovery he would have to remain
quiet for several weeks, and the
colonel reluctantly agreed, insisting at
the same time that he felt perfectly
fit and could make a public speech
on Tuesday.

WHY THE ROSE HAS THORMS
They Are There for the Protection Of
the Stalks, Is Explanation of
Their Presence.

Every one has wondered at some
time or other just why there should
be thorns on rose bushes. Natural
lists have answered this by declaring
they were there solely for the protec-
ton of the stalks.
Rose bush stalks, as it is known
are extremely tender and watery,
thereby bending or breaking easily,
and animals running wild through
such bushes would soon kill them
and once broken or bent over the
sap eXuGes and the branches die But
with these thorns on their stalk all
animals soon learn to keep away from
such bushes. but if they go through
them they do it very carefully.
While this answer of the natural
lists, as to why there are thorns on
rose bushes, was quite satisfactory it
has been discovered that there are
other reasons for the dangerous prick
ers. Chief among these other reasons
is that the top of the thorn, which
always grows very smooth and slight
Iy flattened, is used as a rest for the
branches of the same bush as they
interlaCe
Heavy rains, heavy dews and
branches full of roses in full bloom
would naturally bear them down to
the breaking point If they were al
lowed to bend far enough, and they
cannot fall very far before they strike
against the tops of these thorns, and
are thereby held securely in place, SO
that even a stiff gale Of wind will not
blow down the rose bush, while it
would tear other shrubbery into bits.
