Charles J. Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield was banged in
pursuance of the judgment and order
of the court, within the prison walls
at Washington City, D. C, Friday,
June 30tb, '82, at 12:40 o'clock, by
Warden Crocker.
There was a slight rattle as the
bolt was drawn. The trap fell and
bis person suddenly shot downward
and came to a stop with a terrible
jerk. The rope creaked as it stretched,
but it stood the test. A shout arose
on the outBide of the jail, but all in
side was silent. The figure which a
moment before was above the platform,
was now dangling below it, swinging
slowly around. The knees were con
vulsively lifted two or three times,
but otherwise no sign of a struggle
could be seen. After turning half
way round several times the body be
came still, with the face toward the
west. At the expiration of three min
utes the body was lowered far enough
so that the physicians, Drs. Young
and McDonald, could feel the pulse
aud action of the heart. Life was not
extinct for folly seventeen minutes.
At 1 :15 o'clock the body was lowered
into the coffin, which had been placed
directly below it. His right hand was
placed over his breast and the left
arm along his side. The black cap
was takeu off and persons who re
mained in the corridor were permit
ted to file by and look at the face. It
looked natural though it had the hue
of death. A slight stream of froth
was issuing from the mouth and nose.
Around the neck was a slight discol
oration, produced by the noose, but
that was all. After the body was
viewed, the lid was put on the coffin
and six men carried it up stairs into
the prison chapel, where autopsy
wbb to bo held. J. W. Guiteau and
Rev. Dr. Hicks were present for a
short time, but left the jail before the
conclusion of the autopsy, and re
turned to the city abont 3 o'clock.
The physicians who performed the
autopsy were N. L. Lamb, J. F. Hart
igan and Z. L.-Cowen. A close ex
amination of the body showed Gui
teau's neck broken, and that the rope
had cut deep into the flesh of the neck.
His brain was found to be in a normal
condition, and weighed 49 ounces.
The heart weighed a little over nine
ounces and was in a healthy condition,
aB were all other internal organs.
His body was given to Dr. Hicks
with the approval of his friends, and
no one now knows where it will be
interred. We notice that no relations
of the doomed man were present to
witness- bis execution except his
brother, John W. Guiteau, who was
admitted to the jail, and was present
in the rotunda when his brother was
executed, and his Bister, Mrs. Scoyille,
who was not admitted to the jail, but
remained in her carriage outside
while her brother was being banged.
Five thousand persons, three
fourths of whom were colored, gath
ered about on the bills surrounding
the jail, and though they could see no
more where they had collected than
if a mile away, were perfectly con
tented to remain until the word came
out "Guiteau is dead."
After the body had been removed,
and perfect order reigned, the mili
tary guard, on duty at the jail ever
since the 2d of last March, moved
away and were loudly cheered as
they left.
As to a CoBgretMieaal Coavea
tiea. It seems necessary that some au
thority should make the first move.
It has been suggested that delegates
elected to the state convention do the
double duty of nominating for con
gress and state offices of course only
delegates from the several congres
sional districts voting for congress
men. This is open to the objection
that it would give one of the best of
opportunities to office-seekers for
making trades and "tie-ups," and be
virtually the same as nominating
congressmen on the general ticket.
Those who favored the redistricting
of the state (a sentiment so over
whelming as to demand an extra
session of the legislature), would op
pose this method.
Another suggestion is nearer the
mark, viz : that " the state central
committee fix the time and place for
the holding of the meeting of the
chairmen of the county committees,
for the purpose of calling congres
sional primaries and district conven
tions." The Lincoln Journal remarks of
this that "it is unnecessary, though it
would not be specially obnoxious,"
and suggests a better way, which, it
seems to us, being the customary
method, is open to no serious objec
tion, viz: "the chairman of the cen
tral committee of the first county
named in the apportionment bill in
ach district to call a meeting of the
chairmen of county committees in his
district, and that meeting to fix the
time and .place of the district conven
tion, and apportion the delegates
thereto."
This is free from the objection that
there is outside interference, that
men are meddling in things that don't
belong to them, which is surely sound
political conduct.

The following from the Atchison

Well enough aaid. Newspaper ad
vertising is now recognized among all
good business men as the way of
making your wants and wishes
known, and those fellows that thrive
on the credulity of the public are to
the printing fraternity as parasites
when allowed to live and work. The
whole tribe ought to receive the pass
ing attention of the fraternity, along
with the skinners from the city offices,
who furnish certain lines of their
work at bare cost as baits for heavy
deals, thus raking in from the various
small communities of the state hun
dreds of dollars that legitimately,
properly, and, at fair prices, belong to
the local trade. We see complaints
in our state cotemporaries, now and
then, that parties will send away for
job work that can be done about as
well and abont as cheap, at home, may
be a little less fanciful or a few cents
higher in price, but not enough to
justify express and extra trouble,
when at the same timo such parties
will expect every transaction of theirs
to have due mention by the local
press. It would be only fair to tell
such to have their job office at St.
Louis, Des Moines, Chicago or New
York mention their little transactions
in the local papers of those places. A
nice state of affairs, indeed, would
it be in a community, if all would act
on the same principle, and buy their
wares abroad the grocers, their dry
goods and carpets ; the merchants and
hotel-keepers, their groceries, provis
ions aud furniture; the builders and
contractors, their lumber and lime,
and so on to the end of the chapter.
This system would tend to build a

Let every branch of business protect
itself and the public against the dead
beats and peddlers, and conduct their
own business on straight, fair busi
ness principles, and there will not be
so much complaining. If Pericles
Epaminondas Platonicus wants to
advertise himself as a maker of soaps
or of statutes let him do so, if you
choose, at the usual rates for other
commercial advertising, taking care,
however, to so mark it that the way
faring man may not mistake it for
anything but "business ;" if the Con
solidated, Double - Acting, Triple
Backed, Multiplex, Guano Transpor
tation Co. patronize the job printing
office of Similaricus of Chicago, that
is no reason why it 6bould ask or ex
pect gratuitous little "courtesies" from
the local press in the name of build
ing up home enterprises.
The Journal is exceedingly glad
that it don't live and move and have
its being in any such atmosphere, and
that more and more, every week, and
year by year, it is being demonstrated
in Columbus and Nebraska as well,
that business is business, in printing
just the same as in farming, mer
chandizing or manufacturing "you
pay your money and you take your
choice," and when the brotherhood
cease to beg, the better will it be for
all. The public partly know that
your venture is a private busiuess
matter of your own, requiring con
siderable means and ability to carry
it forward successfully, just as it does
for the grocer, merchant, landlord,
lawyer, banker, etc., and they will all
soon learn that your right to lease
your newspaper space is the same as
the farmer's right to sell the use of his
growing grass, and will be disposed
to treat you as a man among men.

The Lincoln Journal says: The
Omaha Republican is emphatically
opposed to holding the district con
gressional conventions at the same
time and place of the state conven
tion. The Journal is also opposed to
such a thing. But we don't happen to
remember to have heard that any
body purposed or proposed any such
extraordinary proceeding. As to the
state central committee fixing the
time and place for holding of the
meetings of the chairman of the
county committees, for the purpose
of calling congressional primaries and
district conventions, eyen this is un
necessary, though it would not be
specially obnoxious. The custom haB
been in the caBe of new senatorial and
representative districts formed by a
reapportionment, for the chairman of
the central committee of the first
county named in the apportionment
bill in each district to call a meeting
of the chairmen of county com
mittees ip bfs district, and that meet
ing fixed, the time and place of pri
mary elections and the time and place
of the district convention, and ap

and that body has never assumed the

Gababaldi, in the conree of his ad
venturous life, received ten wounds.
Two wounds in the neck and throat,
at first believed to be mortal, were
received in 1835, in Uruguay, in a sea
fight against the Dictator; two
wounds in the right arm at the sea
fight of Rio Plata, in 1836 every offi
cer and man near Garabaldi being
killed or wounded ; one wound in the
abdomen, on April 30, 1849, while
fighting against the French on the
Janiculum. The wonnd was not dan
gerous but was excessively painful,
and Garabaldi concealed his suffer
ings until the battle was over. On
May 8, 1849, at Velletri, he was knock
ed off bis horse by the Neapolitans,
and trampled on. He received one
bayonet aud one sword wouud, and
was rescued by a baud of mere boys
who were engaged in the fight. On
Aug. 29, 1862, he was wounded in the
thigh by oue of the Royal Bersaglieri.
A second bullet, rebounding, broke
the ankle bone and remained in the
wouud. When extracted it exactly
resembled in shape a cap of liberty.

Recently, fearful wind, rain and
hail stormH were reported in an
unusual large number of localities
throughout the United States, doing
more or less damage at every place
visited. Philosophers, astronomers
and weather prophets appear to be at
their wits end, and can give no reason
for the storms and coudition of the
weather. No statement as to the
causes producing bucIi a state of af
fairs seems more reasonable than the
disturbed condition of the sun' and
the movement of the comet. It is
claimed that the sun is in a fearful
condition from the effects of several
burning volcanoes which it is believed
has so increased the heat of the at
mosphere by which it is surrounded
as to affect the atmosphere of thejearth,
and thus in connection with the
movement of the comet, which aids,
by its attractions to distribute this
heated atmosphere to other planets.
A correspondent of the Omaha
Republican writing from Washington
says He met a citizen from Nebraska
who has some reputation for being
rather smart in home politics, -nnd
who expressed the opinion that the
congressional slate in the State of
Nebraska was Manderson, Nance and
Valentine for congress, and he has
quite a notion of espousing the can
didacy of Thayer for the senate. No
politician now living in Nebraska,
with all his political astuteness, can
do more than simply guess at what
may happen in the way of candidates
and final results, as present indica
tions point to a woful mixture of
things, which experienced politicians
do not seem to comprehend.
The recent wind, rain and hail
storm that passed through portions of
Polk, Butler, Saunders and Douglas
counties appears to have done the
most damage in Butler, Saunders and
Douglas. The crops in the course of
the storm in Butler and Saunders
counties are badly cut to pieces and
will not likely recover from the in
jury. The young corn will possibly
recover but will be set back. Several
buildings in both these counties were
blown down aud others wrecked.
The damage done to property in
Omaha by the wind, hail and rain
will reach $200,000. An immense
amount of damage was done by water
flooding cellars in the city limits.
Lincoln Journal'. The action of
the regents of the university towards
a reorganization of the faculty, seems
to meet with the general approval of
the Btate press, though there are occa
sional exceptions. The most notica
ble exceptions are from newspapers
in Crete, York and Hastings, that ed
itorially declare that the university
has "been given over to the infidels."
There is, perhaps no connection be
tween this singular view of the case
and the fact that at Crete and York
there are denominational colleges
already established, and oue has quite
recently been located in Hastings.
Local enterprise would hardly go as
far as this we hope.

goods, chattels, money, lands and all
other things that I have devised to
her for the maintenance, of her future
life shall pass to the eldest son of my

exception to this as being too severe,

Sunday uioruiug, 6 o'clock, a cyr
clone, passing nearly due eaat, struck
Osceola. It was conaued to narrow
limits. The posts at the Fair ground
were torn off as if they were reedp,
and the Floral Hall was completely
demolished The hail accompanying
the storm did considerable damage,
especially in Pleasant Home, Hack
berry, Canada and Osceola precincts,
the loss to crops being estimated at
25 per cent. Mrs. Leatherby was
knocked down by a hailstone. G. B.
Darlington and G. M. Van Vorce each
had a cow killed. H. W. Kennard
picked up a pan full of hailstones
which averaged the size of goose eggs.
Hailstones went through the roof of

From tho Press.
At Risiug, houses were unroofed
and blown from their foundations.
Tho dwelling of John Boans was
blown from its foundation, and Mrs.
B. had her ankle broken by a falling
chimney. Southeast of Rising huge
chunks of ice were sent through the
roofs of a number of houses. Hail
stones as large as a pint cup fell to the
depth of 8 or 10 inches. Near this
place occurred the catastrophe to Mr.
Adrian and family, mentioned else
whore the right side of his face, even
to the part of a bono, was torn away ;
his lower jaw was mashed iuto a
jelly. J In the eastern part of the
county on the farm of J. T. McKnight,
the hail was found in drifts two and
a half feet deep tho next morning, 24
hours after the storm. The crops are
almost wholly destroyed through the
center of the belt over which the
storm passed, while either side is
more or less injured. All small grain
will bo an entire failure for at least
four miles wide through the center,
while corn will recover to some ex
tent. The Press concludes by saying
that a half million dollars will hardly
repair the damage to Butler couuty.

The roroLAR vekdict: There
will be several bad cases of Guiteau
hysteria this week; but the public
mind has long since weighed all the
evidence, and is fully made up. It

vicious man, deficient of moral sense,
but wholly capable of judging be
tween right and wrong. If any man
for his crimes ever deserved death
and infamy, Guiteau does. This is
the verdict of 50,000,000 people
