He eaid all indications were that the stomach was recovering its tone. Guiteau has recently received several letters, some of them of a threatening nature and one of them offers to furnish $20,000 bail just for the sake of getting his hands on him. The accepted theory as to how Guiteau obtained the knife is that after the last steaming of the cots when tho beds were replaced from the other cell, the slit in which the knife had been secreted was substi tuted for the one taken out. G uiteau attacked one of his guards on the 17th and attempted to cut his throat with a knife he had obtained. The guard drew his revolver aud in the struggle it was discharged aud brought to his assistance other guards, and Guiteau was finally dis armed. He succeeded however in cuttiug McGill'a clothing badly and came very near inflicting a danger ous wound. Everything goes to show that he was meditating escape.

Portions of Nebraska are not alone in suffering from drought. A correspondent of the Blue Valley Blade writes thus from Long Island, Kan.: "We are now iu the midst of harvest, attempting to gather what little has been left by tho chinch bug. It is remarkable how destruc tive these pests are, and with what rapidity they do their work. Ten days ago our prospect for a good wheat crop was flattering; to-day the prospect for half a crop is not cer tain by any means. The chinch bug is also working in the corn, and it is thought that if the hot winds continue without rain for a few days more, our corn crop will suffer serious damages." CommiioncrM Proceedings. Roll called, all present. Readiug of minutes of previous meetings was deferred until afternoon.
