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. Cholera Infantum. This disease has lost its terrors since Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol¬ era and Diarrhoea remedy came into general use.

A report at 12o’clock midnight is that the house of Good Shep¬ herd, a Catholic institution, was wrecked and Sventy-five people injured. All communication with out¬ lying districts is cut off and it is impossible to say whether or not the damage done there lias been as great as was done in the city itself. * The property damage at Min¬ neapolis is said to have been nearly as great as St. Paul. The storm was of short duration, last¬ ing not more than fifteen min¬ utes. The devastation it wrought was terTiffie. The wind, according to the government weather observe, blew 30 miles an hour, coming from the southwest. Buildings were unroofed and fronts blown in, the interiors being flooded by the rain, which came in great waves along with the wind. Electric wires were prostrated and many persons injured by con¬ tact with the current from elec¬ tric light and trolley wirds. An excursion steamer towing a burgeon the river below St. Paul is reported tc have been wreeked. Relief parties in steam launches have been dispatchei to the rescue. It is said that many lives were lost there. William Donaldson & Co.’s big department store in Minneapolis was badly damaged by the storm. The loss is said to be $800,000. Later reports from Minneapolis are to the effect that no one was killed, but many were injured. Practically every building on the north side of East street is wrecked. The Rabighorst block, Seventh and Wacoutia streets, was un¬ roofed, and the Economy depart¬ ment store is reported to have been damaged to the extent of $ 20 , 000 .

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 Diarrhoea Remedy and Perhaps 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.

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.
