E. A. Van Dyke has returned to lu

know how his old neighbors and
friends are prospering.
The Ladies Sewing Society, of the
Grace Church, will meet this (Thurs
day) afternoon at the residence of
Mrs. Ed. Perkins. All interested in
the Fair will please attend.
The editor of this paper was absent
from his por-t of duty for several days
this week which is our excuse for a
small amount of local mutter. Hope
our readers will excuse us this time.
S. McMinn, an old resident of thi?
county started with his family to
Pennslyvania laj-t Monday where he
will make his home for a while at
lea-t. The Chief will visit him regu
larly in his new home and keep him
posted in Webster county n flairs.
Since our last issue we have had
the pleasure of spending a day or
two under the parental roof-tree in
Iowa. To say that wc enjoyed the
visit would but faintly express our
feeling. We are only sorry that our
visits muf-t be like those of the angels,
few and far between.
It will now be in order for the
street commissioner, if there is any,
and if not, the road supervisor or
some one else to see to the filling up
of that unsightly and dangerous hole
where Uncle Sam's Scales stood, or
8ome dark night somebody will
fall in there and get hurt.
Mr. Win. Shoop skipped out leav
ing this office in the lurch $6.75. We
are about as much to blame, however,
as William is, for we had a chance to
get our money out of him last spring
but let him off on the plea that he
wanted to buy seed wheat with the
money. We simply mention this
'circumstance to show that with a
certain class of men there is no such
a thing as gratitude, and he who ac
commodates them (without good
security) is sure to get left.
Our small sonlcd and grasping
temporary of the south end gave
last week to a hojvl of about a
con
vent half
column's length because the county
commissioners ordered the notice for
bids for rebuilding the Inavale bridge
published in the Lincoln Journal and
the Red Cloud Chief. The reason
the commissioners did this is obvious
they wanted the public to know
that they desired bids for the work.
Had thev desired that it should re
mam a profound secret to everybody
except a few persons in and around
Red Cloud, they would have had thej
notice published in the Aryan alone.
The amount that we will realize from
the publication of the notice will
reach the enormous sum of three or
four dollars, which amount we will
cover into the treasury of the "official
organ of the county" rather than see
Mr. Kenney have a spell of sickness
over loosing that amount of public
printing. While wc have no desire to
answer any insinuations thrown out
by the gricver over the loss of $3 of
public printing; wc .will say that
during the eight years that the Chief
has been in existence in Webster
county it has done more towards ad
vertising abroad and building up Red
Cloud and Wcnster county than
would be possible for the rcaderless
,concern at the'south end to accom
plish in a.quartcr of a century.

Wearied by the care of official life
and the hariasewenU of the atruggle
over tne .New lork ptoiuttueuL,
i rtaiuenl Garfield had fur ek U:n
looking forward to a trip through
New England in which he oucc
nion: to revi-tt tbe fcene of hi chil
arUu tudies and taks a neisdt-d rct
amid the Berkshire hill, in ouc of
the must bcauti'til valleys of ilai
ciiuettA. At ) o'clock on the morn
ing of Saturday July lid, acroxuj.anicd
by Secretary Blaine, he entered a
carriage at the white bouse and drove
towards the Baltimore fc I'oUmiac
defotf where he was tu Like tbe 'J 2!)
train to Long Branch. During the
lriire the president conven-ed in a
hatijiy tone over his release from
othctal caret and .-jioke in a hopeful
manner over the prospects of a recon
ciliation between two wings of the
repubheun party. The carnage drove
tijj to the door of the depot at twenty
minutes at 'J ami the president anil
Secretary Blaine alighted. Entering
the depotjiy the main entrance and
walking side by sidr, juisaed into tbe
ladies recejitton room and walked
toward the door leading out to the
platform, wherea special train stood
in waiting. As the president entered
the B ftrcct dunr a man of small statue
walked toward him, and ral-iug his
arm, tired a shot at him from u re
volver of the English bulldog pattern,
General Garfield, not noticing the
shot, walked on toward the door,
when a second report was heard anil
the president lay prostrate on the
floor with an ugly" wound in his back
from which the blood flowed profuse
ly. The sound of two pistol shots in
rapid succcs'-ion attracted the atten
tion of the bystanders, who at first
failed to lake in the horrors of the
situation. The assassin, Charles
Guiteau, a dissappoiuted oflice-sseker,
was instantly pinioned by strong amis
and hurried" to jail. "1 have killed
Garfield," he shouted; "Arthur will be
president. I am a stalwart." Around
the bleeding form of President Gar
field were gathered mcujt of the mem
bers of his cabinet. A mattress was
brought, the president w:ts placed
upon it and tenderly carried to a
private room in the depot building.
Afdispatcii was instantly sent for sur
geons. The president was faint and
weak from los of blood. "Take me
home," he murmured to his sun,
"1 am content to live or die, (Sod's
will be done." An ambulance was
quickly summoned, and escorted by
a guard of mounted soldiers, the
sufferer was driven to the white
house. From the time he was placed
upon his bed, the condition of the
president w:ts considered critical. At
3 o'clock a consultation of physicians
was held and a bulletin was" issued
pronouncing his case hopeless.
Meanwhile telegrams had been sent
to Mrs. Garfield, who was con valet
ing from her sickness at Long Branch;
urging her to come at once to Wash
ington. Before the President was
removed from the depot, he directed
the following dispatch to bo sent to
his wife:
"The president wishes me (o say to
you from him that he has been se
riously hurt. How seriously he can
not yet say. Ho is himself, and
hopes you will come to him soon.
He sends his love to you.
A.F. Rockwell."
Mrs. Garfield left Long -branch at
4 o'clwck on Saturday afternoon in a
special train, and arrived in Washing
ton at i o clock in the evening. The
meeting between the husband and
wife was inexpressibly touching, but
her presence seemed at once to soothe
the sufferer. His pulse diminished
and at y o'clock he was sleeping
quietly. Later in the evening he
rasied and asked Dr. Bliss to tell him
the truth regarding his condition.
"I consider your case very critical,"
said the doctor, "and that you have
probably one chance in a hundred of
recovery." "Well," replied the presi
dent cheerfully, "we will take that
chance," Shortly afterwards he ilrep
ped quietly to sleep.
THE EFFECT ON THE COUNTY.
The news that President Garfield
had been assassinated was immedi
ately flashed across the wires to every
town and city of the country. In New
York, Boston, Chicago, Cincinnati
and other large cities public senti
ment was aroused as by a mighty
whilwind fceiing. Crowds gathered
around the newspaper offices, block
ing the streets and watching eagerly
for the latest bulletins. Horror and
sorrow were expressed on every face.
Strong men wept like children. At
first there was a tendency to connect
tho assassination with political fact
ionisin. Cooler moments banished
the idea and attributed the crime to
the act of a madman. As the day
wore on the excitement was increased.
Business was largely suspended and
the eagerness to get the latest news of
the president's condition was earnest
and pathetic. Notwithstanding the
broiling sun, thousand; stood patient
ly in the street watching for the news
as it came in. The extra issued by
the papers were eagerly purchased as
fast as printed, and the great journals
found themselves unable to supplv
the demand. The universal senti
ment was one of amazement and sor
row. The large place which the
president had obtained in the great
heart of the country was evidenced
by the universal grief. Political dHV
erences, factional disputes, all were
buried, and words of tender solicitude
for the wounded president were on
every one's lips. In the south the
feeling of sorrow was as genuine as
the north. Every portion of the
country were united bv a common
sentiment which abolished sectional
lines. In England, in Germany, in
France, in Russia, and Spain the
news created unmingled surprise and
astonishment. England's queen was
the first to cable her condolence and
anxiety for later news. From every
country pf the civilized world camo
messages of tender solicitude indica
tive of respect for our country and its
chief executive. The shock given to
the people of the United States seemed
to nave communicated itself around
the globe, and its influence was felt
in every nation. But amid all the
excitement attending the great calam
ity, doubts were never expressed as
to the stability of of our institutions.
Sorrowing over what was felt to be
the nation's loss, thousands repeated
the words of General Garfield uttered
seventeen years ago on like occasion,
"God still reigns and the government
lives in Washington." .
THEULST ILLNESS.
Eearlyin the president's illness it
was determined to call in medical aid
from abroad. Drs. D. Hayes Agnew,
of Philadelphia, and Frank Hamilton,
of New York, two of the most distin
guished practitioners and medical
authorities in the country, were bb
moned and reinforced the medical
staff then in attendance at the white
fcousc. The location of the wound
and the direction which the bullet
seemed to have taken indicated that
laceration of the liver and probable
perforation of the inUstinea had taken

15 to July 2-"$ the patient's pulse mwr
f xceeded V) but once, July 1$, when
it was 102. Whether inteutionally or
unintentionally the physician for
several weeks allowed the jteople to
U'coine overconfident concerning the
president condition. Hope strength
ened daily and steps were rven taken
for holding public thanksgiving over
the Irfgiuiug of convalescence. On
July 23rd the president's pulo wa
9'2 at 3 a. m. at 7 p. m. tt had reached
125. A rigor had seized the president
and fears were entertained which
afterwards were sadly reclized that
blood poi.-omug had set in.
On the 24th Dr. Agnew vorformed
an operation and released the im
prisoned pus, and the portions of the
shattered rib. Two days later the cut
was enlarged. For a few da the
president improved. His pulse from
July 26 to August 7 averaged less than
100 and only exceeded that figure
five tunes. 1 lie wound fiad partial-

the natient's further recoverv. L'p
and down, vibrating between hie and
death, steadily growing weaker,
making advances towards strength
only to fall back again nearer to
death, this was a synopsis of the
president'.' case up to 'the time when,
on the 1'Jth instant, a swelling ap
peared in the parotid gland, which
the physicians were forced to admit
came irom
a poisoned condition of
the blood. Pya:mia. the dreadful
disease consequent upon gun-shot
wounds, had set in. On August 20th
another operation was found neces
sary, and the physicians discovered
that the wound which had been
thought closed up to within a few
inches of the opening, had not closed
at all. The wall was broken down
and a catheter was inserted down
ward and forward for n distance of
12i inches from the external surface
of the last incision. There had been
pus there, for it had been noticed
oozing out through the wound. The
conclusion was inevitable that the
pus had been absorbed into the sys
tem. Prostrate, daily growing weaker
emaciated to a skeleton, and sustain
ed by enemas, the life of the president
seemed to be slowly ebbing away,
until on Thursday, with a puNe at 120
and the temperature at OS. delirious
and exhausted, the physicians were
reluctantly compelled to admit that
General Garfield's lease of life was
almost terminated and his troubles at
an end. On Thursday, August 2th,
a second incision was made in the
wound. The president was
himself and for the first time earnestly
pressed upon his physicians the ne
cessity of removing him from the
white house to a more healthy sur
rounding. On Friday, August 2Gth,
another serious relapse took place
and the life of the president was des
paired of, but the day following a
change for the hotter brightened the
hearts of the people. The pulse,
which had been raging nt 131 drop
ped to 103 the temperature to 98.
The improvement was continued
during the ensuing week anil recovery
seemed probable if the malarious in
fluence of the white house could be
overcome by removal to another loca
tion. On Tuesday August 31, the
pulse diminshed in frequency to I5
and the temperature and respiration
became normal. On the 1st of Sep
tember the question of removing
President Garfield was discussed by
the physicians and on Saturday, Sep
tember 3d, the change was officially
decided upon. Franklin cottage at
Long Branch was placed ot the dis
posal of the suffering executive by its
owners, and during all Saturday, Sun
day and Monday, September 2d, 4th
and .rth, preparations were rapidlv
made for the conveyance of the presi
dent by rail to the seashore wilh the
least possible danger and inconven
ience. On Tuesday, September fith,
the transfer was safelv made in .even
and a quarter hours by rail, without
ble symptoms. lllC COOl sea breezes
seemed to irive new life to the sufferer.

toms again returned, the pulse rising
to 120, and indications of yrwemia
setting in. From that date until yes
terday the progress of the case was
uniformly downwards, strength de
creasing with the rising pulse and
increasing temperature. On Friday,
September 17th, the condition of the
president was admitted to be very
critical. The lungs which earlier in
the week had shown clear signs of
abcess formations now indicated un
mistakably septic poisoning. Satur
day and Sunday brought no cessation
in the alarming symptoms. On Mon
day morning at 8 o'clock the presi
dent was seized Arith a deathlike rigor
from which he ralied with difficulty.
A half an hour later- another chill
followed, the putee rising to 130. At
10 o'clock the physicians gave up all
hopes of recovery, and later in the
evening the last spark flickered and
went out.
WSA5S02S!TSI3M?7!
Intelligence received from the War
ner Observatory, Rochester 2". Y.,
announces the discovery of a new
comet in the constellation of Virgo.
It is a striking coincidence that this
new and bright comet appeared at
the same hour President Garfield ttss
breathing his last. It was first seen
by E. E. Barnard in Nashville, Tenn.,
who has made claim through Prof.
Swift for the Warner prize of $200 in
gold. This makes- the fifth comet
seen since May first, and of this num
ber four have appeared from almost
the same spot in the heavens.
