'ANOTHERJGOOD NIOIIT.
WASHINGTON , August 2. Another
good ninht has boon followed by a favorable -
vorablo rfiqrning in 'tho president's
case , and lib is" now well 'started on
another day that bids fair to bo ono
of steady improvement , ast night's
rest had a marked effect upon the
general appearance of the patient.
Ono of the best signs to-day is the
remarkable steadiness and distinctness
of the president's pulso. It _ beats
with the firmness nnd regularity of a
man in good health. Tlio president
had for brcakfaat a 'piece of rare
steak and some toast. Ho relished it
thoroughly. Afterwords ho was
raised up in bed , as ho has been for
several days. Ho remained in this
position all morning. There have
been no distinguished callers to-day.

DOING VERY WELL.
WASHINGTON , August 2. Dr. Agnew
now stated to a friend that the presi
dent was certainly doing very well
indeed. > There was no .feature of the
case they could wish to have improved.
The present progress was in every
way satisfactory. The president had
taken nourishment three times up to
2:30. : Some newspapers headings
were allowed to bo read to him. _ Care
is , however , exercised that nothing is
allowed to reach his ears in the Way
ol news which might cause any ex
citement or demand an exorcise of
mind. Ho is now able to use his
arms to lift himself about a little , and.
can draw up his logs without suffer
ing any pain. Ho makes no com
plaint of any pain about the back , al
though all the lower part of the body
is stiff.
THE PRESIDENT
ate an adequate supper and after the
dressing of the wound went to sleep.
At 0 p. m. his pulse was below 100
and other indications correspondingly
moderated. Since that hour ho has
slept comfortably and rested as easily
as in health. Ho expresses complete
satisfaction with its progress.
Dr. Agnew returns to Philadelphia to
morrow and Dr. Hamilton will come
on from Now York to-morrow oven-
ing. All of the physicians assure the
members of the cabinet that the presi
dent is doing as well as they could
wish.
Secretary Lincoln returns from Rye
lieach to-morrow. Postmaster General -
oral James and Attorney General
McVeagh will 'remain hero all sum
mer. Mrs. Garfield is ; confident in
the ability of her husband to bo about
in a month. Dr. Bliss said the presi
dent ought to be able to attend to
executive business in a few weeks.
nn. BLIRS INTEIIVIBWED.
WASHINGTON , August 2. Dr. Bliss
was asked to-night in regard
to the course of the ball
through tho' president. Ho said ,
"Wo know where the ball en
tered ; that it shatter-ad a rib ; that it
disturbed the liver , either by shock or
perforation , and that it lodged in the
interior wall of the abdomen. It is
enough to know where the tall is. "
"Do you intend to cut it out ? " was
asked.
"No not unless it does mischief.
The case is proceeding nicely , "

To the Editor of The Itco.
OMAHA , August 2 , About ono year
and a half ago council granted Mr.
Kountzo the privilege of narrowing
Tenth street , from Pierce south , to
fifty foot. In consideration of this ho
was to plant the remaining twenty-five
feet upon either side with shade trees ,
nicely sod the whole and make a beau
tiful avenue of it. Since the permis
sion has boon granted three tree plant
ing seasons have passed and not a single
glo tree is yet planted , and instead ol
being sodded only ono side of the
street is seeded to grass. Whoso duty
is it to see that the contract is carried
out ) To my mind the street shouldn't
be loft a barren waste.

ly. The sooner an injunction is is
sued against the extension of the pros
out lines under the old charter , the

Number of Men Who

unusiiig feature of Judge Bcno-

co with which the average
ceivos the announcement that

toper will throw up his hands
horror at such a preposterous
When it is substantiated by
timony of half a dozen police-
iion and the city marshal
nsinuatus that it required three men
o take the follow to jail ho always
uialifics the matter by assorting that
10 might have been drunk. In the
listorl of the court no ono has boon
ciiown to acknowledge in out and out
onus that ho was drunk. The moro
elaborately drunk a man had been the
ess liable ho is to admit it the follow-
ng day in court. The number of
men in Omaha , however , who con
fine themselves to two drinks is al
most beyond boliof. Nearly every
man brought before the court will ac
knowledge that he had a couple of
drinks , but under no consideration
can ho bo induced to say ho had throe.
Two seem to bo the limit. The men
found in the gutter stick to this state
ment the stoutest. It is a rather
curious phase of human nature , but
Judge Benoko can wrcstlo with it
about as well as any able-bodied man
in Omaha.

To 'Begin Pumping Water
This Evening1.
The Water Company is ready to
begin pumping from the river this

owing to the fact the
ifr. Cook , of Toledo , the consulting
engineer , has expressed a wish to bo

Yes , sir , it is all that it is claimed

Norfolk , Va. I have tried it , and
mvo advised and witnessed its trial
on others. I toll you its effects are
imply wonderful. Iliad boon suffering
great deal for over a month with
ary severe pains contracted from a
cold. I first experienced the pain in
ny side and from its peculiar nature ,
thought that it might bo tho' pre
monition of paralysis. My friends
were fearful ; but after it shifted about ,
hooting through my body in a most
nforiially tormenting manner , I
enow that it was rheumatism , and I
ought remedies of different kinds ,
without effect , until I chanced to see
ho advertisement of St. Jacobs Oil ,
and read of ita wonderful cures , when
resolved to give it a trial. Securing
bottle of the Oil , I applied it to the
larts alTcclcd , and that night I had
ho first good night's rest that I had
inco the commencement of my at-
ank. I govo two other applications
and became perfectly cured not suf
fering from rheumatism since and
that has been two months ago.
