Vessels were chartered the other day in the port of Chicago for the unusually large amount of 1,OG5,000 bushels of grain. Over 12,000 dogs have been licensed in Chicago. Tolerably good showing of the kind feeling of citi zens toward the "canine race." "Watermelons arc brought to New York from the extreme south, snd sold at $10 apiece. The rich only can indulge in the luxury. The hot weather in Chicago is producing unfavorable results upon the health of the citizens. On the 9th 83 burial permits were issued. A report comes from Southern Russia that the harvest prospects are very bright, and, if realized, the abundance will be unprecedented. Some of the euterprising newspa per men claim they have fouud out more about Guiteau'a antecedent than the police. "Wouldn't be hard to do. A verv severe storm visited cen tral Iowa on the 7th, raising some of the streams higher than ever known, and carrying away many bridges. There are rumors that attorney general Mac Veigh will leave the cabinet. Such political gossip can not be relied on, and has no political significance. Lkfrov, who murdered Gould on the railroad train in England, has been arrested in the Eaet End, Lon don, and haB made a full confession of his crime. Previous to his assassination Pres ident Garfield appointed Henry II. Garnett, minister to Liberia, and ex-Senator Hamlin, of Maine, min ister to Spain. At Harrison, Mo., on the 4th five persons were poisoned by drinking lemonade mado of acid. Three have since died and one other is not ex pected to live. Numerous clerkship changes in the postoffice and interior depart ments were recently made at Wash ington, and more changes are rumor ed, and clerks are anxious. A man in Chicago the other day named Cunningham stabbed his wife to the heart. Ho coolly walk ed away to the police station and gave himself up to an officer. From Tunis comes a private dis patch saying the French commenced shelling Star on the 5th, aud the fire was returned from that town. No particulars given of the fighting. A Russian newspaper man sees in the act of Guiteau the existence of a contagious epidemic passing through the world, and from which neither republics or monarchies arc safe. A printer ahead on fasting. John Burns, an insane printer, starved himself to death in a New York asylum, dying on tho 0th. He re fused food for twenty-three weeks.

P. for South Shields, presented in the House of Commons the other day a petition 1,100 yards long, containing SG,324 signatures, in favor of closing liquor bopa on Sundays. A fearful storm visited Chicago recently which did considerable damage in blowing down houses, unroofing buildings, uprooting trees, ifce. Several horses were strnck by lightning and killed. Deep grief is felt and expressed in foreign lands on account of the MMstination of Presideut Garfield. A celebration was to be held at Bristol, England, on the 4th. The procession was formed ready to move, when it was dismissed and the announcement made of a relig ious meeting to be held' at 4 p. m. It is stated that Mr. Conkling was guarded by police in the Fifth Ave nue hotel, New York, last week. Public feeling is so excited that sev eral letters thrcatcuiug his life have been received by him. It is believed that France will not be allowed to usurp dominion in Tripoli as easily as she did in Tunis. Tripoli being a Turkish province, and interference there would mean European intervention. The death of Henry Stanberry, ex-attorney general of the United States, was recently announced in Now York. In his prime he was a brilliant lawyer. His remains were taken to Cincinnati, O., for interment. It appears that Guiteau, the as sassin of the President, had been re ceiving while in "Washington, money orders from New York and Bos ton. Post-office officials incline to the opinion that he has received mail under an assumed name. It is stated in our exchanges that a singular coincidence transpired in London the eveuing before the as sassination the Anglo-American had an article saying what a calamity it would be to the United States in case Garfield were taken away. Prof. Stone, of Cincinnati, has discovered a remarkable change in the comet. A portion of the nucleus has been thrown oft' some 1,500 miles from the main body. lie says the new nucleus, which is located to ward tho North Star, can be seen with the naked oye. As reported by telegraph on the 7th, tho fire at Cincinnati, which originated in tho carriago factory of P. J. Marquas & Sons, before it could be extinguished destroyed property valued at .$2,000,000, be sides the loss of life and many per sons seriously injured. A collision occurred on tho 4th, of two excursion trains on the Ken tucky Central road near Covington ; a numbor of persons were killed, and a number bo seriously injured that recovery is considered impossi ble. Those killed were crushed almost beyond recognition. Count Guido Lvnar, secretary to tho Gernvin embassy at the Court of St. James, has been arrested for committing an abominable offence with a guardsman. The couut has been delivered over to the custody of the German government. Tho affair has caused the greatest excite ment in diplomatic circles. Katie Smith, a youug and pretty girl, and Michael Presendorfer, both of Pittsburg, were at a pic-nic on the 4th. Since then he called on the 6th inst. and reproached her for being untrue to him, then drew a revolver, shot her through the heart, placed the revolver to his own head and fired, killing himself instantly. A two-year old child of Mr. Boer, of Lincoln, took a swallow of concentrated lye tho other day and died in a few hours afterwards. The Journal says: "This is another warning to parents to keep lye away from the children. No less than four children died in this vicinity last summer from swallowing con centrated lye." Prof. Klein has expressed the opinion that tho earth passed thro' the tail of this comet and that its vapors so permeated our atmosphere as to be tho direct cause of the rain fall over the country. He is also of the opinion that the recent storms and hurricanes are the direct result of the movements of this comet upon the same theory. Electricians of Cleveland, Ohio, claim to have solved the problem of storing and retaining electricity in a more practical way than that of Faure. The inventor says that the electricity is stored in metalic plates which will hold it for an indefinite period, and can be transported from place to placo in any manner and kept for use at pleasure. Mrs. TnEODORE Dunsmire the divorced wife of Charles J. Guiteau, who now resides at Leadville, Col., and who certainly has some knowl edge of the assassin of the President says "she thinks tho attempt to assassinate the President was sim ply prompted by his morbid desire for notoriety, for which ho would, she thinks, givo his life." Friends of impartial suffrago for the women of this state held a con vention at Omaha in Masonic Hall on the 6th and 7th inst. Tho con vention waB well attended and proper subjects discussed. The sec ond day's meeting was furnished by the ladies with a noonday lunch. The citizens of Omaha manifested much interest in the meetings. Mant will not be prepared for this item of news after Mr. Conk ling had repeatedly said he did not desire to be elected United States senator unless Piatt should also be elected. Piatt has positively with drawn, and it is now claimed that Conkling has telegraphed Mb fol lowers in Albany to make a des perate fight and force an adjourn ment if possible. Telegrams of sympathy come to the President and family from all parts of the United States. The la dies of Richmond sent to Mrs. Gar field on the 4th a telegram deeply sympathizing with her in her sad affliction. They say we shall send op to-day many earnest prayers for the speedy recovery of your afflicted and affectionate hu$aud, and our beloved President. Condition of the President. The president has been gaining in strcngtli right along since he met his injury, and, although the danger is not wholly past, tho country ap parently rests easy, and believes that he will recover his full strength in good time. During the hot days, appliances have been used for cool ing the president's room, lowering the temperature several degrees. Nurses, physicians and friends have united in making the president as comfortable as possible, and some patriotic citizens of New York have raised a fund of $250,000, and pre sented it to Mrs. Garfield, not only as a token of esteem, but as a fact tending to relievo the president's anxiety in regard to the future of his family. Presents of all kinds, designed for the physical comfort of the sufferer, have been poured into the "White House, until there seems to be no limit to the generosity and the thonghtfulness of the American peo ple in this time of pain and danger to their Chief Magistrate. Some experiments made with the pistol and balls found on the assas sin lead to the belief that probably the wound of the president was not, at any time, so serious as thought for by some of tho physicians. The amount of powder in the cartridges was not sufficient to throw a ball with very great velocity, and it i9 now thought that in all probability no vital organ was penetrated. The dailies of Monday givo a lengthy account of the way in which tho president passed the night of Saturday last, as follows : "The president's desire oxpressed last night that his wounds might be dressed so that he might go to sleep, seems to have been well founded, for sleep he did, and longer. at a time and with better results than at any time since his hurt, since ho did not fully awake from his first sleep until nearly midnight, and then did not remain awake but little more lhau an hour. During this interval he asked for a drink, which was given him, and he also took his usu al nourishment. He fell asleep the second time without the aid of mor phine, and to the surprise of his attendants did not awake until near ly 5 o'clock in the morning. This long period was not a continuous slumber but a continuation of a sleeping rest. The patient would iu each half hour open his eyes for a second aud then close them again. The sleep was calm and streugth giving. No t03siug about or pain ful circumstances marred it. Mr. Cump, the steward, and Mrs. Dr.Ed son were with him in the early morning hours. The latter says his sleep was liko a child. They watched him closoly. There was no indication that he was asleep because exhausted, but to all appearances sleep came to him because it was time for sleep and because he needed it. Tho first one to Bee him this morning besides the nurses was Dr. Bliss. lie found him much refreshed and feeling hopeful, more bo than ever. The president told the doctor that be felt his stiffness aud soreness more acute ly to-day, because his mind was clearer than ever. He described his feeling as that of a man who had his arm broken. He meant, of course, that it was so different to him. Dr. Bliss says the muscle is shattered, aud is that one upon which almost every nerve of the body depends. The cords of the eye and back are necessarily stiff and his whole body is unmanageable. These circum stances have no effect upon him more than to call out remarks con cerning them. He makes no com plaint and never exhibits irritation. In making the examination and dressing the wounds he has to be moved considerably. He rather longs for this operation for he says he feols so much better after it is over, as shown by the morning bul letin. The pulse was lower and the other outside symptoms were more favorable than yesterday." The best course to pursue in re lation to the assassin Gitteau is pa tiently to await full and complete investigation, which doubtless will be mado in due time and in a thor ough manner, and we doubt not in a lawful way. It ib possible that even such an investigation may fail to reach all the facts connected with tho assassin and Iub movements, but if a strict and lawful investigation does not bring to light the whole truth, it is far better that it be made under no extraordinary excitement but coolly, calmly, and according to law, let the dark transaction with all the accompanying particulars be un covered. Congress should have made provision long ago by law to meet all tho shades of crimo con nected with assassins. In anticipa tion of the insanity dodgo on the part of assassins, congress should enact that they hang by the neck until they are dead every person who attempts to destroy the life of the President, and we would go further and incorporate a provision that any person who attempted or did assassiuale any man or woman holding office under the government of the United States should be han ged. And still a further provision should be enacted that all fanatic and chronic office seekers who vis ited the President in person de manding an office should at once be declared vagrants and notified to leave the Capitol and if not at once complyiug, tbey should be impris oned for safe keeping. The supreme court of Michigan has recently decided a case in which one man lent another money where with to get up a corner on wheat. The lender brought suit to recover the money back. The conrt held that a combination entered into to artificially affect the price of any necessity of life was illegal, and the loan in this case could not be recovered. Ex-United States Senator P. "W. Hitchcock died Sunday morn ing at his residence on Twentieth and Dodgo street, Omaha, after a brief illuoss. He has been in poor health for two years. An abscess had formed in his right side, from which escaped pus into the pritorial cavity, which generally results iu speedy death and which was the cause in his case of his sudden death. In 1877 Mr. Hitchcock lost his wife, and something less than a year ago death took bis only daughter. He leaves only two sons Gilbert M. and John G., the former aged 21 years and tho latter 16. Gilbert has re cently opened a law office in Omaha. His funeral took placo on tho after noon of the 11th and his remains were deposited beside those of his wife and daughter in Prospect Hill cemetery. George Wilson, secretary of tho New York Chamber of Commerce, has telegraphed Postmaster General James that the members of the cham ber of commerce had subscribed $250,000 to bo presented to Mrs. Garfield, both as a token of their sincere esteem and sympathy, and as a means of relieving tho mind of the President entirely from anxiety with regard to the future of his fam ily. Postmaster General James Bent the following reply : Your dispatch has been deliverod to Mrs. Garfield. On receipt of it she remarked there was so much that was touching and beautiful iu tho sympathy of the peoplo of tho wholo country that she did not daro to trust herself to think of it. The Courier-Journal of Louisville, Ky., prints somo romarka from Jeff erson Davis addressed to Mr. Find ley S. Collins, relative to the assassi nation of the President. He says "the evil influence to which you refer as causing tho bitterness felt toward southern men, it may fairly bo oxpocted will give way to sober sense. I will not, like the telegram you cite in regard to the attempted assassination of the President, say I am thankful the assassin was not a southern man, but will say I regret that he is an American. The crime, black enough iu itself, has a deeper dye from tho mercenary motive which seems to have prompted it. I sincerely trust tho President may recover.' Another sensation was created in "Washington City on the 5th, by a peculiar-looking man, dressed as a farmer, and who carried a shot gun, appoaring at Police headquarters and walking up to the sergeant's desk asking for "Jim Blaine, and if he lived thero," somo one told him in the street that he lived there. He was asked "what do you want of him." I have been specially ordain ed, was tho reply, "to shoot him, and here is the gun to do it with." He was informed that Blaine would be in soon, and while he was waiting for him arrangements were made to capture the lunatic. He gave his name as Daniel McNamara of Prince "William county, Va. Another lunatic wandering about "Washington City inquiring for Vice President Arthur, and declaring his intention to kill him produced an other sensation in the city. And still another miserable fellow found his way into the office of Adjutant General Drum, talking about the danger the country was in, and in gesticulating knocked down a hand some drop light. It was thought best to put him out of the office, but ho kept all at defiance, and flourish ing his arms, cried out : "If Garfield dies it will be all right, for Arthur will die too, if I havo to kill him myself." The police were sent for and the excited man carried out. Secretary Kirkwood has ap pointed F. Laflcsche, an Indian, as a clerk in the Indian bureau. This young Indian received all his educa tion in the Indian Bchool at the Omaha agency in this state. He is said to be a young mac of good habits and fair intelligence. The secretary has made this appointment and doubtless others will follow with a viow to teach them tho duties connected with the bureau in tho treatment of the Indians, and in the future placo them in positions with the agencies of their own people where their services may prove in valuable to Indians as well as the government. Vennor predicts the weather for July as giving a good deal of rain, wind, thunder and lightning over a large portion of tho United States from the 1st to the 22d. From the 12th to the 20th an excessive hot term is probable thronghout both Canada and the United States, with additional severe storms in western sections. A cold wave may occur about the 27th, carrying froBt into Canada and cool weather generally, with storms of wind, hail and rain, over the United States. A Saunders and C. H.Van "Wyck, Nebraska Senators, send to James G. Blaiue, Secretary of State, the following: "Nebraska sends greetings favor able tidings. Tell the President not even the great Lincoln had larger share in public confidence and love. Hope of his recovery fills with new inspiration every home, from the proud palace to the humble cot tage on the prairie and rude dugout on the frontier." The Talbott boys, who wore to bo hanged and who wore rospited by the Gov. of Missouri, made and swore to a confossion on the 5th inst. Albert, tho youngest, testi fied that he and "Wyatt wore in bed when he heard his mother crying for help. Ho ran down stairs and found her on the floor and his fa ther killing her. He seized a dou ble barrel shot gun and fired, killing his father. His brother Charley came down and put his father on the bed. The father then requested them never to divulge tho killing. The oldest brother corroborates this statement. Summary vengeance has been threatened against Guiteau,' the as sassin. "Wo hope that tho govern ment authorities, and citizens of "Washington City will guard against overy movemoutof the kind and not permit a wild mob to set at defiance the law of the land to wreak its vengeance upon a wicked man who has done the same thing oven in the Capitol of the great American Re public. Citizens in the Capitol should use all their influence to prevent all further unlawful and bloody acta, be they against whom they may. On the 6th at Albany, the ballot ing for senators resulted as follows : Conkling 32, Wheelor 42, other votes scattering. For succosaor to Piatt: Kernan 53, Depew 53. The repub lican members were to hold a caucus the same evening. They havo agreed that any candidate who rocoive3 fifty-four in tho caucus, sixty-five members voting, shall receive a solid voto of sixty-fivo in joint conven tion. Wo hope to be able to an nounce the election of senators iu this issue of the Journal. Piles of telegrams and letters of sympathy for the President and Mrs. Garfield contiuue daily to bo receiv ed at the Executive Mansion. Ex Senator, Roscoe Conkling sent the following to Vice President C. A. Arthur: Please say to Mrs. Gar field for mo that to-day's reports are most welcome, and rejoice me for the happiness they give to hor. In roply Mrs. Garfield returned her thanks for his kiud sympathy. At the republican caucus held at Albany on the 8th inst., "Warner Miller and E. G. Lapham were nom inated as candidates for U. S. Sen ators. On the 9(h in joint conven tion two ballots were taken which resulted in no choice The vote re sulted for tho long term Miller 68, Kernan 50, "Wheeler III. For the short term Conkling 31 Lapham 60. The convention of tho two houses then adjourned. Last week a tost case was being tried in tho Douglas county district court, uudor the Slocum high-license law, against Androw Plenler, a sa loon keeper of Omaha, who haa been iudicted with several other li quor dealers, for violation of the law. The defendant is represented by able counsel, Judge "Wakely and Hon. J. C. Cowin, who claim the law to be unconstitutional. A bot named Eddie Miller liying in Omaha, was bo badly treated and abased the other day by a neighbor woman as to become a lunatic. She caught the boy by tbe hair of the head and gave him a terrible shaking up, banging bis head against the side of the house with great force,- causing the blood to spurt frem his nose. She also kick ed him in the side. A shocking accident occurred at Lincoln on tbe 4th, by tbe premature discharge of a cannon, killing a Utile J boy a son of Mr. K. S. Necome, blowing an arm off from each of two men who were loading the can non and severely injuring another person. The names of the men were Theebant, Reynolds and Squires. In numerous places throughout tbe United States, on account of the sad newB of the attempted assassina tion of President Garfield, there was no disposition to celebrate the 4th. And in many of tho largor cities the bulletin boards were thronged by masses of citizens anxious to learn the condition of the Fresident. NOTICE DT CONTEST. Land Office at Grand Island, Neb.)
