Sr0M all the accounts we have been
s he to gather. the farmers OF this I'M
mediate section seem to have been more
than ordinarily blessed. While late corn
and pasturage have been somewhat cut
short. we have bounti,ul crops in COM
parison with other sections. From Mo-
berly south the crops grow less and
less. Kansas Is dry enough to burn
from locomotive spark. SO is large
portions of Illinois. In Iowa early
floods intertered with planting. and
partial failure is reported from many
sections. The great cattle region of
Texas is already calling loudly tor
corn. Right here III North Missouri,
is the only section where even an APP
proach is made TO an average crop.
This means high prices and ready
sale for grain of all kinds.

The "Forest Spring, Is attracting
much attention and many visitors now.
They average about 100 daily, Sundays
excepted, on which day from one to six
hundred attend. Some wonderful
cures have been effected. The water
has been analyzed and is pronounced
among the finest for medicinal pur-
poses in the United States. These are
a few of the cases that have been cur
ed:
Jos. Rob. disease, gravel of 4 to 5
year standing, had been operated upon
once, got bad again, went to the springs
regularly for three months and was
cured.
Joseph Benner. abscess of liver, 2ls
years bcdfast, used the water SIX weeks
daily, and ~ large boils came out or
right hip. He is now well,
John Cain, nearly blind, had to he
led. washed ; times day fer some time
and now can go about without assist
ance. These cases are true, and many
more could be given, but would occupy
too much space. The ingredients
found in the water are salt, soda. carb.

silicon, and .nagnesia. The relative
amounts will be given to the public
soon.

Abandoning Hope

New YORK, August 25.-The Posts
Washington special says there is very
despondent feeling there notwithstand-
lug the official bulletin is somewhat
better. This dependency is directly
attributable to the midnight dispatch Of
Sec.etary Blaine. There is a general
feeling that Blaine does not put his
name to dispatches which have not
been carefully considered, and of course
he has better opportunities to obtain
authentic information from the rns-
geons than the newspapers. Blaine's
dispatch is revelation to a large ma
jonty ofpersons in that it, for the first
time, gives therein an adequate con-
ception of the extraordinary weakness,
exhaustion ard emaciation of the
president. Those who have seen Gen.
Garfield in his health can scarcely com.
prehend that he now weighs only 125
pounds. And yet Mr.. Blaine's dispatch
the accuracy Of which there is no
doubt is confirmed by the statements
of those constantly about the sick room
and Of the attendants who lift him.
"He's nothing but skin and bone"
said one of the attendants. The in.
creasing anxiety at the white house is
by the fact that Mrs, Garfield
scarcely leaves the bedside for mo-
ment, and has discontinued her evening
drives but the presidents physicians
have by no means given up hope.

Sympathy for the President.

LONDON, Aug. "a United States
Minister Lowell writes to the Times he
has received a dispatch from Secretary
Blaine acknowledging the arrival at
Washington of numerous addresses of
sympathy forwarded by Lowell from
various public bodies and other sources
in Great Britain in regard to President
GARFIELD. He says there is no way of
conveying to corporations and private
persons who sent addresses recogni-
ton of their courtesy by his govern
ment. Lowell therefore asks the Times
TO publish an extract of the dispatch OF
Secretary Blame stating tlat the nu-
merous addresses in regard to Mr.. Gar
field cannot but further strengthen the
affection for the mother country al
ready existing for the mother country,
IN the hearts Of American people.

If there is any subject that is deserv-
ing of the thoughtful attention of the
people at this time, it is the alarming
extent of crime. This probably large
" results from the fact that bad men
are not restrained from the commission
of crime by fear of justice. There is
such laXitv in the strict enforcement
of the laws. and it is apparently so easy
20 escape the penalties of the law. that
EVIL doors do not hesitate to perpetrate
their evil acts Our papers are filled
with accounts of bloodshed, and human
life seems to be held of little value.
There is but one solution to this dark
problem. and that is certain and speedy
punishment. The man who robs his tel
ow or takes his life should be promptly
arrested and promptly punished. Every
officer from constable to the judge,
should understand that the people de-
mand the strict enforcement OF the laws
against all crimes The people them
selves should be emphatic on this sub
iect and there should be 40 more maud
lin sentiment that seeks to extennate
CRIME, or boquets tor prisoners whose
hands are red with the blood of his
neighbor. Let parenls see that their
boys are employed, and not idlers upon
the street. Let the officers see that va
grants are not permitted to lounge on
the corners. That no one who carries
weapons be free from arrest. That
every infraction of the law be met with
punishment. Then may we hope from
peace, good order. and safety in every
communi ty.-Macon Republican.

The Presidents Wish.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON,
August e4.-When the surgeons as.
sembled this morning the president
again returned to the topic so promin-
ent in his mind yesterday and the day
before, viz: His removal to Mentor,
He insisted on some time being fixed
As the surgeons have already told him
that his wound is causing them little an.
noyance. he appeared to see no reason
why such trip would injure him. Up.
on being told that so long a railroad
journey would be imprudent, he said
he had determined not to remain at
the white house any longer if he could
help it, and asked if he could 60 to
Fortress Monroe on the steamer. The
surgeons could only promise him that
he should be removed at the earliest
possible moment that it could be safely
done.
