I'ho Attoiupt Mmlo While the Chief

City of Mexico, Sept. 17. Ignnclo
tlrmlfo, a violent character, asiaulted
President Diaz yesterday during the
nlltary procession. The man was felled
ay a cane by a companion of the preal
ient and was immediately taken into
justody by the authorltlee.
The central thoroughfare of title city,
ixtendlng from the great plaea to Ala
neda. or the public park, waa thronged
by thounandg of people in the morning,
iBsombled to view the military procee-
ilon usual on Independence Day. The
itdewalke, balconleti and frequently
house tope were crowded with persons
ind some of the most palatial buildings
were profusely adorned with the na
tional aolors, foreign flags and man
alncent floral displays.
Gendarmes lining either side of the
itreet kept the crowd from pressing in
the open space through which passed
the various civic and federal bodies on
PRESIDENT PORFIEniO QIAZ.
the way to take part In the public ex
ercises at Alameda, after which the
military parade was to march through
the same street on its way to the na
tional palace to be reviewed by Presi
dent Diaz. After a short wait the
murmur ran through the crowd that
the president was coming, and on foot,
ilressed in the uniform of a general of
division. The president, bowing right
and left to the applauding crowds,
came. Immediately behind him being
Qeneral Pradlllo, the governor of the
national palace, who served in the same
sapactty under Emperor MaxlmlUlan.
Following them were other officers,
cabinet ministers, etc.
Suddenly, near the Alameda, there
was a disturbance in the crowd on the
sidewalk, and a well built, muscular
man, with flowing black hair and
mustache, forced his way by a tremen
dous effort past the gendarmes and
loldiers, Jumped between the president
and General Pradlllo and the chief of
staff, Monasterio, and Ogj-It a blow
at the back of the pretWjnt's neck,
but the violence of the blow was di
minished by the faot that he was
crowded between the president and
sfflcers immediately following him. The
president turned around and caught
sight of his assailant, and then re
turned his march with admirable cool
ness. Meantime Chief of Staff Monasterio
hit the man witlt a cane, who, turning,
seized It and broke it. General Pra
dlllo then hit lilm a powerful blow on
the neck, felling him. The gendarmes
rushed forward and some mounted ofll
sers and police seized and pin Wed him.
He was taken through a siue street
and led away, the people shouting:
"Give him to us. We will hang him."
But the gendarmes succeeded in keep
ing their prisoner, being reinforced by
cavalrymen, the great crowd shouting
and running behind.
The man was taken to the palace and
stripped, but no weapon was found on
his person. He was taken away to the
city hall, securely bound and placed
In solitary confinement, after being
questioned by the otflcers. He has often
been employed In a notary's oliice as
a clerk, and is said by the chief of po
lice to have a record aB a man of vio
lent habits, given to drink and quar
relsome. Various stories are told re
garding his design on the president,
one theory being that he was" armed
with a dagger, but if so lie must have
thrown it awav, as no weapon was
found on him. It seems almost certain
that he intended harm, for at the mo
ment of dealing the blow he used
opprobrious terms and was most mani
acal. President Diaz took the matter very
almly and advised that the man be
Jtept In custody Until today, and be
brought before him to explain his mo
tives, apparently believing that the
man had no murderous intent, but the
police feel that murder was intended.
The president received an ovation on
sntering the chamber of deputies last
night to open congress, every one pres
ent desiring to show their satisfaction
that he had escaped unharmed from an
attempt made on hi life. In leaving
the hall a man approached to address
him, but was immediately arrested by
the gendarmes.

TO CURE DYSPEPSIA.
A Mew Ilemedy Which Will Do It.
Chronic dyspepsia is considered by many
people to !x nearly If not quite incurable.
No good leasou can be given why they think
so except that perhaps they have tried
various remedies without much, if any bene
fit. Dnt the progress in every branch of
medicine has been such that among other
things a luting cure for indigestion In Its
chronlo form as well as temporary has been
discovered and la now placed before the
public strictly on its merits as a permanent
cure for all stomach troubles or difficulties
with the digestive organs.
This new treatment Is called Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, being put op in tablet form
so as to be easily taken and also to preeervo
Its good qualities for an Indefinite length of
time.
This remedy has produced surprising effect
in the worst forms of indigestion, and in
many cases where ordinary remedies failed
to give even relief, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have fully cured.
The splendid results from using this prep
aration are owing to the fart that it is pre
pared and intended for Dyspepsia and
stomach troubles only. It Is not a curo-all
like so many advertised remedies, claiming
to cure everything under the sun, but it is
claimed that it Is a certain cure for Dys
pepsia and anyone suffering from any form
of indigestion cannot fall to get permanent
relief and cure from Its use.
It Is so prepared aud the ingredients are of
suoh a nature that when the tablets are taken
into the stomach they digest the food no
matter whether the stomach is iu good work
ing order or not. You get sustenance and
strength to mind aud body by reason of the
food being properly digested and at the same
time the much abused stomach Is allowed to
rest and reouperate.
Notwithstanding the groat benefits to be
dorlved from Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, tho
price Is but BOo. for full sized package and all
druggists sell them.

Beware

Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo.,
write: "Por six years I have ben a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all effort
of physiciana in WaBhlngtou, D. C,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
mouths' constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, 1 be
gan its use. Before I had used one bot
tle the enlargement began to disappear,
and now it is entirely gone, though lam
not through with my second bottle yet.
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over f 150."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only

a satisfactory price of silver."
The editorial protests strongly against
the policy of the bank In having con
sented to commit Itself, though even
thus limited and safeguarded. Re
peating arguments used tn former ar
ticles The Times says:
"We cannot assume that the admis
sion of a silver reserve would not de
tract from the bank's prestige abroad.
It would be a very objectionable course,
and not at all Justified by the nego
tiations of the ministry with the Amer
ican commissioners and the French
government."
Taking credit for having practically
killed the plan the editorial concludes
with the warning that the campaign
will be continued. "Leading French
statesmen are not wholly disinclined to
reopen the mints, while a vigorous at
tempt is being -made to induce India
to adopt the same course. This should
not be done without serious considera
tion. In any case free coinage by
France, India and the United States
would not Justify the Bank of Eng
land in regarding silver as good as
gold for reserve. Therefore, the bank's
offer can only encourage Illusory hopes,
and the sooner it is allowed to lapse
into oblivion the better for all con
cerned." Lord Farrer writes to The Times
this morning in part as follows:
"I learn from the best accessible in
formation that a proposal has been
made' to reopen the Indian mints to
silver, on the understanding that the
United States and France do the same,
at a ratio of 16V4 to 1. The considera
tion offered is that it will insure India
a permanent and steady exchange.
'Of course at that ratio this proposal
appears to me In the highest degree
objectionable. First, because it puts
an end to an experiment which prom
ises' to be successful. Second, because
it affords the substantial prospect of
giving a steady, permanent exchange
which there Is every prospect of at
taining if the policy of 18B8 Is adhered
to. Third, because If It did succeed
in giving a permanent exchange at the
ratio of 1RH to 1, which Is most im
probable. It could only succeed by artl
flcally raising the gold value of silver
throughout the world to the same ex
tent, thus introducing without the con
sent of the lirltish parliament all the
mischief of International bimetallism
at that ratio."
The letter which Is causing so much
controversy was one written by the
governor of the Bank of England to the
ohancellor of the exchequer. The letter
declared that the bank was prepared
to hold one-fifth of the bullion held
against Its note issue, In silver, pro
vided that the French mints were re
opened to the free coinage of silver,
and that the prices at whioh silver is
procurable and saleable Bhould be at
uny given time satisfactory.

7fie Beauty
of Health .j
Features don't mat
ter so much. Most
any features will do
if the complexion is
clear, the eye brleht
and the lips rosy. Hearty, healthy whole
someueas Is better than mere beauty of
features. A face full of tlte glow of good
health full of the kindliness and good
humor that health brings, is bound to
be an attractive face a face that will
make friends. The face tells the story
of the whole body. "Murder will out"
and so will "female weakness" and
nervousness and other disorders peculiar
to women.
If there is a drain on the system and
strength, the record of it will show in
the face. If there is nerve nagging
"bearing -down" pains, dragging and
pulling at the most sensitive organs in a
woman's body, the face will show it.
Abused nerves draw lines of care and
worry on the face. Nervous prostration
writes its warning on the face long before
it comes. Sleeplessness, nervousness and
debilitating drains make more wrinkles
than age.
Nine-tenths of the sickness of women
comes from some derangement of organs
distinctly feminine. Nine-tenths of this
sickness can be cured and avoided by the
use oi Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
There is nothing miraculous about the
" Favorite Prescription "nothing super
natural. It is the result of rational thought
and study applied to medicine.
It has been prescribed by Dr. Pierce
for over 30 years. It has made thousands
of women healthy and happy, and has
brought joy to thousands of homes.
In "female weakness" it acts directly
and strongly in healing and strengthen
ing the parts that are most severely tried.
It clears out impurities aud promotes
regularity at all times.
