after the last steaming of the cots

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.

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."
