inen stood with uncovered heads as the
colonel passed.
In Much Pain
On Way to Chicago.
The colonel rested easily after the
train reached Chicago and his car was
brought to a final standstill. He was
uneasy during the trip and seemed to
feel c onsiderable pain. The physicians
in charge decided not to disturb him
after his arrival in Chicago until day
light.
He was roused by Dr. Murphy half
an hour before the start for the hos
pital. A superficial examination of ttie
wound was made. Then Dr. Murphy
advised that Roosevelt be removed at
onee and the other physicians con
curred.
The colonel himself acquiesced read
jiy» Hi smiled as the preparations for
the trip were made.
When all was ready he stepped from
the eat. waiving aside the physicians
and attendants who would have helped
him.
Shot again." he remarked, as news
pap photographers fired a volley of
flashlights at him.
He smiled as the pictures were made.
At the hospital his whole appearance
res changed.
Sags Down Weak
On Reaching Hospital.
The Rough Rider sagged down be
tween the two men who assisted him.
and they practically supported his
weight as he took the few steps into
th" hospital. The smile had left his
fa. ■ It was seamed and drawn with
pain, and the fight he had made to hide
tie real suffering was disclosed in deep
lines that marked his forehead and the
corners of his mouth.
Tho change was startling to his
physic ians. There was a hurried con- ■
saltation, the physicians being unde- I
elded whether the operation that had j
been partly agreed on should be at
tempted while he was in such a weak
ened condition.
•lust inside the hospital door the
colonel sank into a wheeled ehair.
A few. moments later he was wheeled
away to a private room.
The ambulance was brought as near
as possible to the private car May
flower. and stood in Orleans street. Dr.
R. G. Sales, one of the Milwaukee sur
geons who attended him, opened the
door of the car. Colonel Roosevelt
stepped down. He was followed by Dr.
■I. B. Murphy.
The colonel stopped when he saw the
saitine newspaper men with their cam
eras.

posed.”
Dr. Murphy said blood' poison was
the complication most dreaded and that
the physicians were taking every pre
caution to guard against it.
Bullet Located in
Fleshy Part of Breast.
The X-ray examination lasted for
seV’eral minutes. After it was conclud
ed, the surgeons issued no statement,
and the first word from the room of the
former president was brought by a
nurse who had been present when the
examination was made. The nurse said
tfiat the bullet had been located in the
fleshy part of the right breast, and
was about an inch and a half below
the right nipple. The nurse said the
bullet had not penetrated the walls of
the chest, but was lodged in the mus
cular tissue.
She further stated that the surgeons
had decided to perform an operation at
once.
The result of the examination as re
ported by the nurse corresponds with
that made by Dr. Joseph Bloodgood, of
Johns Hopkins university, who was one
of the surgeons called in attendance
while the colonel was still in Milwau
kee. Dr. Bloodgood asserted the bullet
was resting between the ninth and tenth
ribs and lay just below the right nip
ple.
After the examination the following
telegram was sent to Mrs. Roosevelt in
New York by Elbert Martin, private
stenographer to the colonel.
Assuring Message
Sent to Mrs. Roosevetl.
"The present examination supports
the prior examination made by the phy
sicians in Milwaukee. The respiratory
movement on the right side, in which
the bullet is situated, is perfectly free
and easy and sounds normal. His pulse
is normal and there is little difficulty
in talking. He lias expectorated no
blood. The present descriptions given
by the X-ray show the bullet to be sit
uated in a safe place. Additional X
rays are being made now. and will be
completed within an hour.
After the photographs had been made
the colonel called for a book. He said
he wanted something light and divert
ing. and a book was brought to him.
He laughed with the doctors when it
was discovered that in the hurry of
leaving the special train physicians and
attendants had neglected to bring his
pajamas.
Tlie formal statement of the physi
cians as to the location of the bullet
was not expected to be made until after
th< photographs of the'exa minty lon had
been completed. The physicians, how -
ever, appeared more cheerful after the
examination had been made, and it was
believed the location indicated by the
nurse would prove to be the correct
one. No prepai iitlotis for an operation
were begun. It was evident that the
physicians had decided to wall until
the final result of their examination was
definitely known before they attempt-d
to remove the bullet

At His Stoicism

wound extremely dangerous, effort
would be made immediately to remove
the bullet.
Dr. Terrell and the other physicians
who accompanied Roosevelt to the au
ditorium in Milwaukee after he was
shot last night, heard him speak, and
made the trip with him from Milwaukee
to Chicago, are marveling today at the
stoicism of the man.
The colonel shaved himself after he
had boarded his special car in Mil
waukee. His hand was steady and he
displayed no nervousness.
The colonel was certain when the
train left Milwaukee that he would be
able to go to Indianapolis, where he
was scheduled to speak tonight. He
disliked to give tip the idea today.
Long before the colonel's train had
reached Chicago fifty specially picked
policemen, detailed by Assistant Chief
Schuettler, were at the old Wells Street
station waiting for his arrival. Every
effort was made to guard the colonel
and keep away the curious crowd that
might gather.
The railroad also did wh'at it could to
provide quiet for the colonel when his
car was in the railway yard.
Calls For Minister,
His Long-Time Friend.
One of the first requests the colonel
made at Mercy hospital was that his
old friend and companion in arms. Very
Rev. Edward J. Vattman. of Wilmette,
a Chicago suburb, be summoned.
"I’m not much alarmed about my
spiritual condition." said the colonel
with a laugh, “but I would like to see
Vattman and talk to him. I’ve known
him for a long time. We were in the
army together."
Father Vattman arrived at the hos
pital fluting' the morning and was at
once shown into the colonel's room. He
and the colonel had a long talk.
When he came out Father Vattman
was very cheerful.
"Colonel Roosevelt is all right,” he
said. "He will live. He is in no dan
ger."

Woodward Long
Has Sought Place.
The one consuming ambition of
James G. Woodward for the past six
years, since lie vacated the mayor’s
chair, lias been to be mayor of Atlanta
again. Two years after he retired from
'the highest office in the city, he was
nominated for re-election at the Demo
cratic primary.
His sensational defeat in the fall of
191)8 by an independent candidate is
familiar history to all Atlantans.
But he came out of that campaign
still fighting, and he has been lighting
up to this good hour, declaring that he
wants a "chance to redeem himself."
Chambers Is
Extremely Confident.
While Woodward has been laughing
and joking about the big majority he
would pile up, Chambers has been ret
icent. as he closely studied the situa
tion.
At his final rally at the Orpheum the
it'g-r last night he delivered his delib
erate conclusion to the audience of sev
eral hundred people, and it spoke sin
cerity.
' I have won this race," he declared.
"You fellows who came here with the
intention of breaking up this meeting
are bluffing, like your betters ate bluff
ing on the streets witli their bets,
You’re defeated and you know it”
The polls opened at 7 a. m. and will
dose at 7 p m.

GEORGIA STATE
FAIR ■ OPEN
Factory Whistles Blow Signals
When Annual Show at Ma
con Gets Under Way.
MACON. GA., Oct. 15. —The blowing
of whistles by all of the manufactur
ing concerns of Macon signalized the
opening of the annual Georgia atat«
fair here this morning at 10 o’clock. At
Central City park the occasion wag
marked by formal exercises. Invoca
tion was pronounced by Rev. E. C.
Dargan, Mayor John T. Moore deliv
ered the city to the fair association and
W. E. Dunwody, president of the state
fair, made an address of welcome to the
visitors.
There are nearly twice as many In
dividual exhibits at the fair this year
as ever before. The displays in the
woman’s building are especially more
numerous and varied. There are four
teen county agricultural exhibits com
peting for the cash prizes, the chief of
which is the $2,000 award to the blue
ribbon exhibit, which was won in 1911.
and 1910 by Gid Morris, of Cobb coun
ty. He expects to win it again this
year.
Two new features of the state fair
are an encampment, with daily horse
manship exhibitions, by Troop B, Elev
enth United States cavalry, and an au
tomobile .show in which more than 400
cars are shown. The immense hall,
which was used as the auditorium for
the Confederate veterans reunion, has
been converted into the auto show
building. The fair will last eleven days
and a special feature has been pro
vided for each one. Already there are
I large crowds in the city.

A Simple Remedy Beautifies
the Hair, Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair,
What a pity it is to see so manv
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and luster if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces
sity for gray hair under sixty-five years
■ of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, strag
gling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex
cessive oil.
You can bring back the na’tural color
of your hair in a few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wveth’s Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener
ations common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment "of hair and
scalp troubles.
If you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or if your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
tifty-eent bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance of
your hail- after a few days’ treatment.
