The hot weather has made of some St.
Loulsan an avenger of blood. Secretary of
State Blaine has received postal card
postmarked st. Louis, Mo-, but without
signature, upon which the writer stated
that he had carefully watched the reports
relative to President Garfield, and should
not be satisfied with the simple lncarcera-
ton of Guiteau in an insane asylum or for
term Of years In the penitentlary, but that
he had avowed, "by all that is holy to
take vengeance for the suffering needlessiy
caused President Garfield and to kill Gui-
| teau himself which statement he desired
not to be forgotten. All Of which shows
the pcrnicious effect of too much beer with
the mercury above 100 in the shade.
AS will be seen from the council pro-
ceedlngs published in this issue, the coun-
Gil has decided to have drive well sunk at
st. Mary's park. 1t has also received a
resolution from the stree. committee, rec
ommending that Sixth, Seventh,
Ninth, Tenth and Twelfth streets,
between Commercial and Washington
avenues, and Commercial avenue from
| Eighth to Twentieth street be graveled or
mecademized, and that forty feet in the
centre of Washington avenue, from Second
to Twenty-eighth street be also graveled
or mecademizcd and that shade trees be
planted at regular distances along either
| side of the street. These recommends
tons carried out Cairo would be vastly i'm
proved in appearance would, in fact, be a
very attractive city. The council will
doubtless act upon the committees
recommendations IN due time.

about fifteen indictments, some of which
are very important.
The theory that Guitteau is insane
and was lead to the attack Oh President
Garfeld's life by crazy idea that it was
necessary in order to save the party, has
been refuted by himself in conversation
with others since his Imprisonment. Day
before yesterday he referred to his visit ia
the white house, when the prcsidcn,
had him forcibly elected, but was quick tc
deny that that had anything to do with his
attempt at assassination. His statements
however, in regard to his election from
the white house were somewhat conflicting
enough SO to warrant the suspicion tha
his murderous assault was more OF matter
Of personal revenge for what he regarded
as great indignity than anything else
Once he said his determination to kill thu
president was formed long before he wa
elected At another time he said tina
it was on the Thursday prior t.
the resignation of Conkling and Plat tina
he was put out of the white house, but
seeming to recall the fact that he had sale

0 just after Conkling and Plat resigned, h
corrected himself, and said it was long afte
