Of people crowded into the building to
clasp his hand One of these was Cool
gosz. He was a medium sized man of
ordinary appearance, and dressed in
black. He approached President Nc
kinney with outstretched hand, and
those near noticed that the hand he
extended was swathed in bandanges
When with about two feet of the
president, and as the latter was about
to give the friendly grasp, the man
suddenly raised his concealed hand
and fired two shots.
PRESIDENT ASKS, "AMI sHOTw
AS the shots took effect the presi-
dent sank into the arms Of Detective
Gerry, saying:
Am shot?"
Gerry unbuttoned the presidents
vest, and seeing the blood, replied:
Il fear that you are, Mr.. President"
The noise OF the reports and the
sight OF the president sinking TO the
ground told the crowd what had hap
pened. Detective Ireland was barely
two feet away and he jumped upon
the assassin, bearing him 10 the
ground.
There were cries OF Lynch him,
Lynch him!"
A guard Of police Immediately sur
rounded the anarchist and, through a
throng Of excited men and women al
most beside themselves, he was taken
10 the Buffalo police quarters.

ROOSEVELT HURRIEs TO SCENE.
Vice President Roosevelt was in the
Adirondacks when he was notified that
President Mckinley was sinking. He
travelled 30 miles over mountain roads
at breakneck speed to reach the rail
road station, where a special train
bore him to Buffalo. He arrived there
Saturday afternoon and was driven
to the Wilcox mansion, where he took
the constitutional oath of office as
president in the presence of all but
two Of the members of the cabinet
President Roosevelt's first state
ment as president was:
1T shall be my aim to continue alb
solutely the unbroken policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley for the peace and pros
perity OF our beloved country"
His first duty was to call a meet

on that the first and most important
step In the new administration was
the retention in Office Of all the mem

Our shoes are built with that, our

doubt whatever as to a shoe being able

a little more than it price demands, we

Of all these drabs We would rather
sell two pairs of good honest satisfac-
tory shoes and make a small margin
than to sell the one pair and make
double the amount. That's the reason

speaks for itself. You can see many

RECALLS MCKINLEY DEATH.

The shooting OF President William
Mckinley on Friday, Sept 6, 1901, by
Leon Czolgosz first electrified the
world and then stirred its deepest
sympathies. The bullet, which eight
days later ended the life OF the presi-
dent, was fred at o'clock in the
afternoon, while Mr. Mckinley was
holding a public reception in the Tenn.
pie Of Music at the Pan-American ex.
position grounds al Buffalo.
Two bullets from a revolver, which
was concealed by handkerchief. emit
cred the presidents body. One struck
a breast bone, glanced OF, and was
easily extracted. The other entered
the abdomen, penetrating the stom-
ach, and, as afterward indicated by
the autopsy, tore the kidney.
Although guarded by secret service
men, President Mckinley was fully ex-
posed TO the attack He stood at the

It develops that County Judge r. B.
Olmsted, is following the example Of
Judge c. ]. Searle and likewise at
tempting to ride as many horses as
possible in quest for office. The rec
ords Of the secretary OF states Of
fee at Springfield, show that Judge
Oimsted's nomination for circuit
Judge is certified to by two different
parties, the regular, or standpat re-
publican, and the prohibition parties.
The Judge will therefore, be obliged
10 elect which appelation he will
stand under.
So It is up 10 Judge Olmsted to de-
clare whether he is a republican or 4
prohibitionist.

In the contest for congressman in
this district il is amusing TO observe
the press comments. All the inquiries
as to whether G. ]. Gearle is a stand
patter or a bull mooser have gone
unanswered. and so the Taft men
don't know whether they want to
vote for him or not while the Roose-
Welt men are also dubious about just
where he stands. To be on the safe
side and know what they are voting
for some are openly declaring they
are going 10 vote for Clyde "A. Tav-

DARKEN THE HAIR
A Little Sage and Sulphur
Makes Gray Hair Vanish-A
Remedy forAII HaifTroubles.

Who does not know the value of Sage
and Sulphur for keeping the hair dark,
soft and glossy and inIgood condition I
As q matter of fact; Sulphur. is o
natural element of hair, and deficiency
of it in the hair is held by many scalp
specialists to be connected with loss Of
color and vitality of the hair. I'm
questionably, there is no better remedy
for hair and scalp troubles, especially
premature grayness, than Sage and
Sulphur, il properly prepared.
The Wyeth Chemical Company OF
New York put out an ideal preparation
of this kind, called Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, in which Sage and
Sulphur are combined with other yalu-
able remedies for keeping the hair and
scalp in clean, healthy condition.
If your hair is losing its color or
constantly coming out, or il you are
troubled with dandruff or dry, itchy
scalp, get a fifty cent bottle of Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur from your druggist,
use 1t according to the simple directions,
and see what a difference few days
treatment will make in the appearances
of your hair.
All druggists sell It, under guarantee
that the money will be refunded If the
remedy issnot. exactly as represented.
