All that we did at the hospital was to g put on an antiseptic dressing. HL "You may say Col Roosevelt is not I in a dangerous condition. If the bullet had reached his lungs it would have been evident and he would have had coughing spells.'' [ Col Roosevelt's life probably was pved by a manuscript of the speech Biich he delivered to-night. The Hllet struck the manuscript, which Barded its force as it passed into Be flesh.

Henry F Cochems, one of the Wisconsin Progressive leaders, told the great crowd assembled in the auditorium that Col Roosevelt had been sbftt and asked the people to be calm. The crowd was thrown almost into a panic by the announcement, but Col Roosevelt himself calmed the people by rising and assuring them he was not badly hurt. Then he began his address. Several times he seemed to be^rowing weak and members of f his party rose to help him. He motioned them to sit down. f , J W Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, L purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's ICough Remedy for his boy who had a cold, and before the bottle was BUI used the boy's cold was gone.
