Serious Wound.
| At 1:05 p. m. Tuesday the following
j bulletin was issued by physicians at-
tending Colonel Roosevelt at Mercy
hospital:
i "The examination of Colonel Roose-
velt at 1 p. m. showed that his tem-
perature was 98.8, his pulse 92; his
respiration as normal. It pains Mm to
breathe. He must have absolve quiet.
Must cease talking and must not see
any one until we give permission.
"This is not a mere flesh wound, but
a serious wound in the chest and quiet-
ude is essential.
(Signed) "J. B. MURPHY,
"ARTHUR B. BE VAN."
Assailant Close to Colonel
Colonel Roosevelt stood up waving
his hat in answer to the cheers of the
crowd. The assassin was standing
in the crowd a few feet from the auto-
mobile. He pushed his way to the
side of the car and raising his gun,
fired.
Martin leaped over the car a second
after the bullet sped on its way. Col-
onel Roosevelt barely moved as the
shot was fired. Before the crowd knew
what has happened, Martin, who is six
feet tall and a former football player,
had landed squarely on the assassin's
shoulders and had borne him to the
ground. He threw his right arm about
the man's neck with a death-like grip
and with his left arm siezed the hand
that held the revolver. In another
second he had disarmed him.
Milwaukee, Wis.—,■Colonel Theo-
dore Rosevelt, progressive candidate
for the presidency, was shot and per-
haps seriously wounded Monday night
about 8 o'clock as he was leaving the
hotel Gilpatrick for the auditorium
where he was to deliver an address.

Theodore Roosevelt.
Who Was Seriously Wounded
Crazed Anarchist.
by a
His assailant, captured by Albert
Martin, one of the colonel's secre-
taries, apparently is mentally upset on
the subject of Roosevelt running for
a third term as president.
The colonel proceeded to the audi-
torium, delivered the address, dur-
ing which he quieted the crowd which
went wild when it learned that he
had been wounded, and then was tak-
en to a hospital where it was discov-
ered that the bullet had pierced the
right breast and had lodged in the
chest wall. After an X-ray examina-
tion he was taken on board a special
train and rushed to Chicago.
With the remark that "any man
tooking for the third term ought to be
shot," the assailant admitted his at-
tempt to take the life of Roosevelt.
He was hurried to the Central police
station to avoid a threatened lynch-
ing by the surging crowd present, aDd
there he admitted that his name was
John Schrenk and that he came from
New York City.
Wound Is Serious.
Chicago.—"Col. Roosevelt's wound
is not a mere flesh wound but it is a
serious wound in the chest," said a
bulletin issued Tuesday afternoon by
physicians at Mercy hospital.
This statement was made in the
form of a bulletin, which was issued
by the doctors after a late examina-
tion of the wound made by the bullet
of an assassin in Milwaukee Monday
night.
'Chicago.— Theodore Roosevelt, shot
by John Schrank in Milwaukee Mon-
day night, lies in Mercy hospital "rest-
ing easily." Half a dozen of the most
skilled surgeons in Chicago, led by
John B. Murphy, made X-ray examina-
tions of the colonel's wound and an-
nounced that the bullet did not pierce
the lung but had lodged in the chest.
Eager for the latest news of the
colonel's condition, a large crowd gath-
ered in front of the hospital, but in
spite of its size the throng was quiet.
Plans Are Canceiied.
Managers for Colonel Roosevelt an-
nounced early in the day that plans
for continuing his campaign had been
cancelled.
Medical men after reading the offi-
cial statement issued by surgeons at-
tending the former president, were of
the opinion that he would be able to
leave the hospital within twelve or
fifteen days. With the bullet re-
moved, they said, the colonel would
require absolute rest for that period
to insure a speedy recovery.
Sitting up in bed, drinking tea and
eating toast, Colonel Roosevelt read
Macaulay's essays. He expressed re-
gret that his managers had decided
to have him give up the remainder of
Jiis campaign trip.
This was the word brought out by
Medill McCormick as he and Dr.
Murphy left the colonel's room in the
hospital.
"Colonel Roosevelt is still in active
charge of the campaign," said Mr.
McCormick, "though it has been de-
cided to his regret that his speaking
tour to be abandoned."
Pure From Start to Finish.
There is perhaps nothing in daily us®
In the home In which purity is so im-
portant us it is in baking powder. On
Its purity depends the purity of the ma-
terials used, the success of the bakings,
etc. And possibly the one thing that
has served to make Calumet Baking
Powder so much of a favorite with the
critical cooks of the country, is the fact
that Calumet is pure from start to finish.
You can rely on Calumet's purity for
the simple reason that every ounce of
the materials used is first tested by ex-
perienced chemists and then mixed with
the utmost care to insure its uniformity.
And standing in the can or changes of
weather, etc., cannot alter it in any re-
spect.
But perhaps the best thing of all, is
the fact that Calumet never fails. Every
baking in which Calumet Is used, is sure
to come from the oven as light and as
Suffy as you can wish. This not only
leans wholesome, tasty foods—but a
big economy as well. Try Calumet next
bake-day—it's the best baking powder
made—for two World's Pure Food
Expositions, one in Chicago, 1907, one
at Paris, France, 1912—have given it the
highest awards. Adv.

Morton's Gap,Kentucky. —"buffered
two years with fen^ale disorders, my
health was very bad
and I had a continual
backache which was
simply awful. I could
not stand on my feet
long enough to cook
a meal's victuals
without my back
nearly killing me,
and I would have
such dragging sensa-
tions I could hardly
bear it. I had sore-
ness in each side, could not stand tight
clothing, and was irregular. I was com-
pletely run down. On advice I took
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound and am enjoying good health. It
is now more than two years and I have
not had an ache or pain since. I do all
my own work, washing and everything,
«.nd never have back^he any more. I
tiiink your medians is grand and I praise
it to all ray neighbors. If you think my
testimony will help others you may pub-
