MAN AFTER ROOSEVELT.
Not Known as to Whether
.
Intended Harm.
Oyster Bay, L. I., August 20.
In a blaze of red fire, the special
train bearing President R<>ose-
velt and party drew into the
Oyster Bay station tonight at
9:12. An unpleasant incident
occurred in New York, when the
presidential party reached the
corner of riixth avenue and Twen-
<y-fmirth street. A big, athletic
titan sprang into the street in ad¬
vance of tins crowd and dodging
the mounted police, which sur¬
rounded the president’s carriage,
tried to reach tins carriage. Se¬
cret S'-rviee OftLjr Taylor, one of
the president’s personal guards,
sprang from a cab in which he
was following the carriage of the
president, and seized the man
before he could r**aeh the
step. Taylor forced him back
the sidewalk, warning him not to
attempt again to reach the presi¬
dent in Svi unceremonious a man¬
ner. What, the man’s object wis
nobody knows. Some one sug¬
gest ed that he was “jii9t a bit too
enthusiastic.”
President Roosevelt was delay¬
ed nearly four hours today by a
rearrangement of his special train
ichedule, made necessary by a
flood at Trenton, N. .1. The entire
traffic, both passenger and freight,
on the New' York division of the
Pennsylvania railroad was inter¬
rupted this afternoon by the flood¬
ing of a tunnel near the Trrntor.
station by an overflow from As-
siupiuk creek. For a time the
water m the tunnel was about 5
feet keep.

since Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol¬
era and Diarrhoea remedy came
into general use. The uniform
success which attends the use of
this remedy in all c ases of bowel
complaints in children has made

has become known. For sale by

BETTS KILLED BY WALINE.
Terrible Tragedy Was Enacted
in Atlanta.
Atlautn, August 21,—Mr. F. E.
Betts, well and favorably known
in Macon as the coach of the Mer-
cer University team, was shot and
killed about 8 o’clock this nioru-
ln **. Andr « w A - Wuli " e Bt
their boai’ding house, 40 East
Mitchell.
Mr. Betts a short time ago
married in Atlanta to Miss Jemi-
son, daughter of C«»l. R-bert VV.
Jemison of Macon. Mr. Waline
is the shipping clerk for the Flor-
orara Tug Company of Atlanta.
He dame here from (,’hatlm.ooga
about a year ago. Mr. Betts and
his tvife have been boarding
where he was killed since their
marriage.*
It seems that Mr. Betts and his
wife and Mr. Waline occupied
front rooms in the house, the
doors of their rooms being just
across the hallway.
Recently Mr. Betts has com¬
plained to Mr. Waline that he
wn9 dressing and undressing with
the door of his room open, and
that such action upon his part
was embarrassing to him and his
wife. Mr. Walline, it appears,
paid no attention tc what Mr.
Betts sard to him and continued
to leave his door open, and in
this way making himself objec¬
tionable.
Wednesday night last Mr. Betts
again spoke to Mr. Waline upon
the matter and informed him
that if he continued to expose
himself in this manner he would
whip him, or words to that effect.
This morning Mr. Walline again
left his door open while he was
dressing and a little later when
the two men met in the hallway
down stairs, Mr. Betts again got
after Waline, calling his atten¬
tion to the fact tlint he would
whip lmn if he did not discon¬
tinue his practices. To this it is
said Mr. Waline answered:
“Well, you may be able to do so,
but it is up to you to carry out
what you said.”
The men then grappled each
other and the shooting followed.

Violent Attack of Diarrhoea Cured by
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and

a Life Saved.
“A short time ago I was taken
with a violent attack of diarrhoea
and believe I would have died if
I had not gotten relief,” says
John J. Patton, a leading citizen
of Patton, Ala. “A friend re-
commended Chnmbelain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I bought a twenty-five cent bottle

was entirely cured. I consider
it the best remedy in the world

“I should say that the mob
which went into the court bouse

A Continual Strain.
Many men and women are con¬
stantly subjected to what they
commonly term “a continual
strain” because of some financial
or family trouble. It weafs and
distresses them both mentally
and physically, affecting their
nerves badly and bringing on
liver and kidney ailments, with
the attendant evils of Constipa¬
tion, loss of appetite, sleepless¬
ness; low vitality and despon¬
dency. They cannot, as a rule,
get rid of this “continual strain,”
but they can remedy its health-,
destroying effects by taking fre-
doses of Green’s August Flower.
It tones up the liver, stimulates
the kidneys, insures healthy bod¬
ily functions, gives being, vim and spirit
to one’s whole and event¬
ually dispels the physical or men¬
tal distress caused by that “con¬
tinual strain.” Trial bottle of
August Flower, 25c; regular size
75c. At all druggists.
It is estimated that 400 honse-
boats may be found upon the
Thames and its backwaters. Some
of these are very gorgeous and
resemble miniature floating pal-
aces.
