THE PRESIDENTS CONDITION.
An Alarming Change.

We failed TO notice last week that
another surgical operation had been
found necessary to relieve Mr.. Gar
fields wound of the accumulation Of
matter The operation was success
July performed, and few days after
The announcements as to his progress
were more favorable than they had
been since he was shot. 1t was said he
was unquestionably fastening toward
recovery. Suddenly, however, on
Monday last he became much worse,
in consequence of irritability of the
stomach, which would retain no food,
so that it had to be administered by
injection. This circumstance alone will
indicate the low condition to which
he is reduced. Intense anxiety pre-
walls in his behalf His physicians
still have hope, but evidently it is not
nnmingled with fear as to the result.
At our latest advices his condition
seemed to DO improving.

Literary Revolution, which reduces
the cost OF this most excellent worl,
TO SO, seems almost incredible.
The facts Of the case are So reason
able, that there can bp no question
ing them. We have in this Office
some OF the volumes which demon
strato their superior character in
every way, and tho facts and figures
which ARE published in detail in nm
article elsewhere in this paper, under
the title Of ~ Second Literary Rev
olution," show very clearly, though
very surprisingly, how it is possible
TO make such nm extremely valuable
and costly Cyclopmdia accessible to
the masses at such a triiling cost.
To remove any possible incredulity
which might exist in the minds Of
some that this is only plausible
scheme for getting large amount OF
money in small sums from great

which might never. be delivered, the

Two weeks ago the San Marcos
FREE Press censured Gov. Roberts
severely for not agreeing to issue a
Thanksgiving proclamation and last
week it contained another long eli
torial and an extract from some
northern paper derogatory to Rob

Pass contradicts itself by saying
The time has passed when it is ne
cessary for q president governor, or

EDIToR FREE Press This great
dull city is almost deserted, and its
long hot streets present a featurelesi
level of monotony. The awful hot
weather still prevails and n perfect
sirrocco dwells in this region north
ern and central Missouri, in fact al
the state is deso!ate with drought
the like of which has not been exper
fenced for many years and truly VT
may say, that here we feel by turns
the
''Fierce extremes, of polar frost
And torrid beams"
Taking such a climate, with Indifferent
soil, it is no wonder that that the peo-
pie of the state "want to sell ont and

Socially the city is dull as death.
This is "the time for disappearing,
and it would be social suicide for
bellies and beaus to be seen upon our
streets during the dog days In
summer the fashionable fly from their
homes as from pestilence, and pay
enormous sums for sojourn at the

cages on the furniture of stylish man
sions whose occupants will be come
IL tdut at the cost of fathomless pen
ury, and will never stop till they
reach the ragged and splintered edge
of financial ruin. Such is high life
in the metropolis.
Well, Mr.. Editor, it is not pleasant
for the journalist to chronicle the
dark side of life, yet i'll the spirit of
regret l must relate that at the hour
of eleven last evening, VIM. E..
Landerman was shot to death by a
drunken companion at the Laclede
Hotel, Sixth and Chestnut SITS. The
deed was perpetrated under the blaze
of the electric light. Nathan Pretty
man was also murdered.by one Curry
about the same hour, Mr.. Pretty
man expiring on his own doorstep.
l must desist from giving the sicken-
ing details; both murdered men were
young. wealthy, dissipated and reck-
less.
Governor Tom Crittenden has con
ferred with railroad officials and now
offers by proclamation a reward OF
$4,000 for the capture of the "James
boys" and two other notorious boys
who made murder, and the robbery
of railroad trains pastime for years.
There is no prospect that any of our
officials will ever make that reward.
Unfortunately we have no Hays coun-
ty. sherifls to bring these knights OF
the road to time. Carl SnrHE.
