That Bloody Shirt!

The ex-Contederates at their reun-
ion at Moberly, Missouri, on the 2S.h
ult., knocked the stuffing entirely out
of the Radical scarecrow. They adopt
ed resolutions expressing themselves
in full sympathy for the nations grief
for the untimely death of President
Garfield, and offering heartfelt condo
lence and prayers for the stricken
family; deprecating the growth of the
seeds of assassination in the land
denying that any ex-Confederate SOL
dier desires 3 pension from the feder.
al government or any state; reaffirm-
ing their acceptance of the issues OF
the late war; denouncing the train
robbers and calling for the extermin.
alton of that class.

Guiteau is understood to have been
formerly Counsel at Marseilles. When
be was in the act Of shooting he had
in his hand letter stating that It
was necessary that this deed should
be done. Guiteau, Immediately upon
being taken into custody, assumed to
b. insane, but there are startling sus-
picions that he has been instigated
to do this for some political reason.
He has been about town for some
days, and has very Withholding eye
and short cropped bristly hair The
assassin drove to the depot in advance
Of the President and stationed him
self in the doorway of the ladies
waiting room in the depot.
A telegrahm was sent to Mrs Gar
field who is at Long Branch.
The pistol found in the assassin
hand is murderous-looking weapon.
It was fve-chambered heavy navy
revolver, 44-calibre. It makes q hole
as large as musket ball. The re-
naming shots were evidently designed
for self-defence; or it is thought, for
Mr.. Blaine. Those who stood near
say that Guiteau made movement
when stricken down as if to shoot
Blaine.
A telegram from Washington
dated 4 P. M, says the President is
sinking rapidly and no hope is enter
tanned Of his recovery.
We make the following editorial
extract from the Euening Telegraph !:
The assassination is but a natural
outcome of the debased and debasing
machine politics that this nation has
suffered from, ever since the war
closed. At this time Of writing the
President is alive, and there seems to
be a chance that he will live, despite
the dangerous character of his
wounds. Whether he lives or dies,
the American people assuredly will
take deeply to heart the Lesson which
the assassin's bullets have taught
The lessen is very plain one, bnt
il ID one which many of our very best
citizens have apparently had great
deal Of difficulty il learning with any
degree Of thoroughness. The strik-
ing down Of Garfield while il may be
lacking in some Of the dramatic
elements that enviroa 4 the taking
off Of Lincoln, means a very
deal moresthose who know
what good government ought to
be, and who desire with genuine
patriotic ardor to see republican
institutions accomplish all that
Kin them to accomplish for this ma
and for mankind.

There was a new arrival at Dyer's
hotel Thursday, a male boarder, who
came to stay with the host for a lengthy
period. There were several peculiar
facts about the arrival Of this new
guest. In the first place he did not
register; neither did he pay in advance,
which Is all the more remarkable, since
he brought no baggage whatever and
occupies the best roof in the house.
He proves to be a source of care. too,
since meals have to be furnished lin
In his room.
Notwithstanding all this, Landlord
Dyer feels highly pleased with his new
guest, for several reasons. The guest
will never rush to the office TO teach the
proprietor how to run a hotel, nor will
he ever jump his bill. This remarkable
boarder is none other than a brand new
bouncing son Of Mr.. Dyer, who was
born on yesterday.

In two inches of the highest; wafer

inches since yesterday, but il station
airy this afternoon. This stationary
period corresponds 70 that Of Wednes-
DAY at Sioux City. The probability is
that it will raise again tonight and
continue so till Saturday. Dispatches
from Sioux City state that the river has
risen there about three inches since
yesterday morning and is fast reaching
the high water mark of previous floods.
We will get that additional raise in
somewhat less. quantity by Friday
morning. 1t is generally believed that
the river will rise six inches, or perhaps
one foot above high water mark before
it begins to subside. The situation al
Omaha and Council Bluffs probably y is
about the same as it was two weeks
ago. The river is four or five miles
wide. Railroad travel is more or less
interrupted. At the Union Pacific
transfer, on the east side of the river,
the water is owe the tracks and the
Union Pacific is again using pontoon
bridges of fiat ear over which passen.
gers. mail, express and baggage are
transferred to trains on approach to
the bridge. Trains from the east are
pushed up to the transfer through the

more or less late. The Union Pacific
California express is detained at Omahs
on account of a washout of trestls
work at the Elkhorn river bridge, q
miles west of here, and the east bound
express is being held on the west side
of the break, which will probably bt
