A legal point will be raised in
Mason's defense, that Guitcau's po
sition rendered it impossible for
him to have been injured when
MaBon fired ; it was therefore im
possible for Mason to have carried
out his intent to kill Guitcau. In
order to constitute a crime and in
sure conviction thereof, it requires
a crime possible of execution by the
means employed. Omaha Repub

entirely disappeared. No now cases
or deaths have been reported for
more thau a week. Tho Franklin
brothers have been the severest
losers, about thirty-five out of a herd
of forty-five having died. Messrs.
Myers, Moulton & Woollcy also lost
valuable animals. People who pas
ture their cattle on the bottom in
tho vicinity where the epidemic
broke out will do well to keep a
closo watch of their cattle next year

Intelligence received from the
"Warner Observatory, Itochester, N.
Y., announces the discovery of a
new comet located in the constella
tion of Virgo. It is a striking coin
cidence that this new and bright
comet appeared at tho samo hour
President Garfield was breathing bis
last. It was first seen by . E.
Barnard, in Nashville, Tcnn., 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 number four
havo appeared from almost tho same

Mayor Means of Cincinnati re
cently gave utterance to a truth that
is too often overlooked, viz: "One
of the first duties of a community is
to protect its young; protect the
boys first, and they will protect the
girls." A truer sentiment was never
spoken. Tho outside life of the
boys, so to speak, tho public ways
and by-way, tho public resorts, the
public examples, the incentives to
noble deeds and to pnre thoughts
can be placed before them. Instead
of being led into temptation, as is
now too much the case, temptations
can be removed out of their way,
and ought to be. Then every high
minded boy of noble impulse, will
become not only a master of self,
bat a defender of that which is good
and right. Of what possible use
are our boasted institutions unless
for the improvement of mankind ?
The president died a poor man
and left no will. His property con
sisted of the Mentor farm, which is
encumbered by a mortgage held by
Dr. Robinson, his next door neigh
bor, and the benefactor of his early
youth, and a residence at "Washing
ton, which is encumbered by a mort
gage held by Gen. Swaim. The
Mentor farm is worth perhaps $S,
000, and the Washington residence
about $15,000, and the mortgages
represent about half their value.
Congress will undoubtedly vote
Mrs. Garfield a pension of $3,000 a
year, as it did in Mrs. Liucoln'e case,
and the purse which Mr. Field is
raising will probably reach a quar
ter of a million dollars, and render
her an income of $10,000 a year.
Tho above from the Omaha Re
publican, shows that the late presi
dent was comparatively a poor man.
Since bis death, an insurance com
pany that held a risk, has paid Mrs.
Garfield $25,000. This, with the
amounts referred to above, will place
the family in good circumstances, so
far as money is concerned.
The evaporations of some news
papers over the death of tho pres
ident would be ludicrous, where the
occasion not one of abject gloom.
A paper in the interior of Nebraska
(regard for parents and friends pre
vent us from giving the name) in
forms us that, "This news falls upon
our nation with a weight of sorrow
such as is not experienced at the
death of every great man. He was
attacked with severe pain in the
heart during the day." If that isu't
a conspicuous anti-climax there
never was one born. Further on
the same writer assorts that "the
memory of the soldier-statesraan-president
shall exist in the hearts of
his countrymen until time shall be
unrolled." Speaking of time being
unrolled, who originally rolled it
up? The article ends with a war
hoop. "Contentions must not rise,
although the sun is set, for a grate
ful, orphaned people can await in
confidence and courage through the
hoveiiug darkness, and dawn that
is to come." That is to say, of course,
that even if we are orphaned we are
gratoful for it. The editor i9 some
times a strange mixture of nonsense
and ignorance. Omaha Republican.
"At Rest"
Tho mortal remains of President
Garfield were consigned to their
resting place at Cleveland, Ohio, on
Monday last. Around the open
gravo 6f the dead president a nation
stood in grief. Never, perhaps, in
all the annals of mankind, was em
peror, king or monarch so sincerely
mourned as was this chief magistrate
of the republic, and never, perhaps,
were all those qualities that make
man noble and godlike so conspic
uous in one person.
Blessed in his youth, in being
compelled to rely mainly upon his
own exertions, he became capable of
immense toil, both physical and
mental ; pursuing knowledge for its
own sake, reverencing truth for tho
lovo of truth, bis ambition was de
void of that small selfishness that so
often 1b tho characteristic of men in
public life. Magnanimity, a cer
tain but nameless spirit of noble
generosity, was both his impulse and
his guide. He was tho very oppo
site of all that is little or mean in
thought, word or deed. Like those
who start at tho very beginning of
money-making and acquire every
dollar by their own labor, toiling
early and late, saving and striving
honestly to accumulate of this
world's goods until they gain im
mense wealth, so was Garfield's
gathering of knowlcdgo and tho
spiritual graces.
Thus it was he becamo a splendid
orator, gifted with tho power to
draw men toward him, and always
saying tho right word, at tho right
time, in the right way. IIow charm
ing were his utterances on all occas
ions, the purity of an Emerson, the
fullness of a Macaulay, the gracious
ness of an Irving, and with it all the
unalloyed simplicity of childhood.
While a boy, he learned to do all
things well, and this carried him
through. Tho desire to be right and
do right hftingr nvnr uppnrmnnt. Inn
mental powers were stimulated to
constant action, and thus his speech
es upon any subject were an illumi
nation, which no words without
wisdom could darken.
All these qualities men realized in
Garfield before ho was inaugurated
as president, but glimpses of him as
son, husband and father, showing his
fidelity, lovo and devotion havo en
deared him to tho hearts of the peo
ple. Human history will never
forget the little mother who cared
for the boy, watched his spiritual
growth, believed in him, trusted him
to the uttermost, her soul being
bound up with his; neither will it
be unmindful of his constant devo
tion to her. On that day in March
last, at the Capitol in Washington,
when the assembled multitude had
listened to the inaugural address,
how much more than mere eloqueuce
of words, was the eloquence of feel
ing that prompted him, standing on
the very summit of human honor, to
turn away from the multitude and
salute his mother with the kJBs of
affection ! Instantly were recalled
the common struggles and trials of
other days, and the noble qualities
of the boy and son were manifested.
On that morning in July last,
going to tho depot in Washington,
anticipating a few days respite from
public car gb, he remarked to Blaine
that ho felt like a boy just let loose
from school. In a very few mo
ments tho assassin's bullet pierced
his side and laid him low. By the
click of a revolver, the course of his
earthly life was changed, and the
noble, upright form began to sink to
the grave ; but we must believe that
at that moment began the transfigur
ation ot his spirit Not unmindful
of his duty, when told by his physi
cian that there was a chance for
recovery, he cheerfully said, "we
will take that chance." But, man
proposes, God disposes, and it was
not so to be.
For eighty days, bo suffered pain
and agony; for eighty days, was
there anxious watching at his bed
side, and most anxious inquiries in
every home of the land ; for eighty
days all hearts were with his in sym
pathy, none knowing how near the
fatal bullet lay ; for eighty days ho
was soothed and sustained by a fond
wifp, every way worthy such a hus
band; with more than Stoic forti
tude, with Christian resignation and
hope, throngh eighty long days and
nights he lay at the brink of the
grave, and all this time not a single
word of enmity escaped his lips
toward the man whose murderous
hand had been raised against his life.
And thus he quietly, peacefully,
breathed his last. His earthly career
ended, his spirit went hence in a
blaze of glory, accompanied, let us
believe, by the spirits of those who
havo suffered martyrdom on earth.
For him, there is rest from labor and
from pain ; for us, thero is the lesson
of his illustrious career," deeply en
graven in memory. At his grave
may all true citizens be re-consecrated
to the preservation of onr good
government, the progress of ljberal
ideas and tho improvement of our
free institutions.
By Ia.r or.ly Violence V
The Omaha Republican says that
under the law in the District of Co
lumbia "tho victim of an assault must
din as well as be struck within the
jurisdiction of tho court before
which the offender is brought, or the
latter cannot be held" for murder;
that "the legislature of New Jersey
(in which stato the late president
died) has passed a law clearly
enough covering the case, but the
supreme court of tho state has con
strued all the force out of it, leaving
the law very much as it stood be
fore." According to tho argument
of the Republican, there is no statute
under and by authority of which the
assassin of the president can be
technically convicted of murder.
The Republican goes back to first
principles, setting forth tho intent of
our laws, that the crime of murder
shall be punished by death, and,
among other things, says : "If, upon
the death of the president, a body of
men had been alloiced to go peacea
bly to tho cell of Guiteau and hang
him, we cannot sec what evil conld
possibly have resulted." Tho italics
are our own, but the sentiment is
the Republica7i's. We think that the
Republican will regret taking this
position, not but that the villian
Guiteau deserves all and more than
all the punishment that could be
wreaked upon him ; uotjbut that all
murderers should die the death ; not
but that he who was shot down like
a dog, was one of the best men that
over breathed the breath of life. The
Journal would have shed uo tears
had the Republican's suggestion
been made a literal fact, but there
should be no mob law in this coun
try. No man shall be deprived of
life, liberty or property, without
due process of law, is the mandate
of our constitution, and it is the
respect and reverence of the people
for this grand principle of our gov
ernment that make's Guiteau's crime
in contravention of it such an enor
mity. The truth is that there are thous
ands of people enjoying life under
our free institutions who ought to be
deprived of their liberty or their
lives, simply because both aro a
menace to good people and good
government, and a civilized com
munity owes it to its own existence
to make greater safe-guards againBt
such. If Guiteau, for instance, had
boon troatol as ho ought, lio doubt
less would have been serving out his
timo in some institution, for his for
mer crimes committed instead of
being at liberty to endanger the lives
of good citizens. It is the unhung
villains, the uncaged maniacs and
tho unconfincd fools that arc to be
watched and dreaded, and if the
Republican can help the public to
some method of getting them well
out of tho way, by due process of
law, tho world will be better, and
all good lives more secure.
A Fiendish Ieetl.
We have read several accounts of
the murder committed in our adjoin
ing county of Colfax on Tuesday of
last week, but tho following from
the Omaha Bee gives the hellish
deed with more particularity than
any other. The verdict of the coro
ner's jiry was in accordance with
the facts as here set forth, and they
give the following catalogue of
wounds upon the body of Franciska
Rousek, the mother-in-law : one on
the right temple produced by the
muzzle of a gun, one with some in
strument above the first one, four
cuts above the first one, four cuts
above the forehead one of which
fractured the skull and was proba
bly made with a hatchet or axe, three
wounds made on chin with muzzle
end of a gun, two cuts on back of
the head made with a hatchet, left
hand bruised and right hand several
wounds, inflicted with muzzle of
a gun.
Schutler, Neb., Sept. 21.
Yesterday morning a young man
named Joseph Heraletzky entered
town seeming terribly excited. His
clothes were muddy, torn and cov
ered with blood, while his face and
neck were badly scratched. At the
outskirts he dismounted from bis
horse, which had evidently been
rapidly ridden, and allowed it to
wander at will. He walked in the
direction of the business centre and
inquired the way to the jail. On his
arrival there he told the following
story : "My name is Joseph Heral
etzky. I live ten miles north of
Schuyler. This morning I killed
my wife and her mother. My wife
I buried in a wheat bin, and my
mother-in-law covered with corn
stalks in a field near the barn." The
man's wild and disordered appear
ance proved that something scrions
had happened and he was locked up
in jail while the marshal and coro
ner went to investigate. They drove
rapidly to his place and proceeded
to the barn, and from the wheat bin
they pulled the corpse of a young
woman. Her throat bore the im
prints of her slayer's fingers, while
her face looked as though she had
also been struck with his fist several
times. Her hands, bloody and bruis
ed, proved that sho had resisted with
all her might her horrible death.
Leaving the corpse lying on the floor
they turned with a shudder and pro
ceeded to tho cornfield near by. A
piece of dress protruded from among
a pilo of cornstalks. The marshal
proceeded to remove those on top,
and nt the depth of one foot he ex
posed the face of an old woman. It
was ghastly. Chopped with an ax,
and bearing the imprints of many
blows from some blunt weapon,
marly severed from the body, it
would havo made the strongest sick
at heart. An ax and a broken gnn
that lay under her, covered with
hair and blood dumbly bore witness
of the use to which they had been
put.
Tho coroner cmpannclled a jury
and proceeded to take testuiiony.
At this writing the following facts
have been ascertained : Heraletzky
has been married two months and
has lived with his mother-in-law
since then. For a time they lived
harmoniously, but a short time since
ho received a large sum of money.
This was claimed in payment of his
board bill. He refused to give it,
and since then they have been quar
reling about it. Heraletzky is quick
tempered, and, n his mother-in-law
aggravated him beyond endurance,
and h'19 wife sided with her, he kill
ed them both.
