THE MEDICAL DISCUSSION.

Everything nowadays is discussed pub
icly after the manner OF the symposium.
Religion, government, political economy,
education, have in turn been treated
in this way, and of course it could not be
expected that the death of President Gar
field should be passed over as q fitting
subject. So the North american Reuieag
has invited the doctors to say what they
think about the medical treatment Of the
case, and DR.. Hammond has thus obtained
the opportunity long sought by him, of de-
claring his conviction that the President
died of malpractice, as Guiteau alleges. 1t
is evident that DR.. Hammond will have
to be put on the witness stand by the de-
Tense, though notwithstanding his profess
sional reputation we think he will find it
difficult to maintain his thesis. The
other physicians who discuss the matter all
come to the conclusion that the
death of the President was inev.
liable aud that he was treated as
skillfully as possible. They are apparently
also all of the opinion that it would have
made no difference to the result had the
surgeons discovered the actual course of
the bullet at first. In one contingency it
might have made very considerable diff.
ference. For had an attempt been made
to probe the actual track of the bullet, the
presumption must be that death would
have resulted almost Immediately, from
rupture of the aueurismal sac which had
been formed over the lesion in the splenic
artery. And if DR.. Hammond undertakes
to show that the Presidents wound might
have been safely probed, it will be incum-
bent on him to demonstrate howa bistoury
can be pushed into an arterial sac in the
interior of the body without producing
fatal consequences. 1t is very doubtful if
DR.. Hammond has done himself any good
by the part he has taken il this discussion,

A Succession OF Evils,

The course of kidney disease may thus be
traced: First, inactivity, then Inflammation,
then degeneration, finally destruction of the
organs. A gentle stimulus, such as afforded
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is oftentimes
the unquestioned means Of preventing one Of
those numerous maladies to which the kid
nays and bladder are subjects and which are
so prone to terminate suddenly and fatally.
Nephitia, Bright's disease, diabetes. catarrh
and stone of the bladder are all maladies
which, even in their inception. are well cal.
culated to arouse the gravest apprehensions,
but which may be checked at the outset with
this benign preventive. which is also fine
restorative of general vigor, an anti-malarial
specific, and a remedy for dyspepsia, liver
complaint. constipation. rheumatism and
nervousness. It is thoroughly reliable and
safe, and fire tonic for the enfeebled and
desponding at all times.

A CURIOUS ANALOGY.

A correspondent of the New York Sun
calls attention to somewhat curious anal
ogy between the behavior of Guiteau in
Court and that of Lawrence, the man who
tried to assassinate Andrew jackson.
Lawrence was undoubtedly mad, but in
Court he conducted himself quite after the
Guiteau fashion, and the writer we are
citing suggests that possibly Guiteau may
have got hold of the account OF the trial
of Lawrence, at some former time, and
may be modelling himself upon his recol-
lection of it. 1t is probable that there is
nothing more than coincidence in this
fancied resemblance, but even coincidence
in such a matter is sufficiently strange to
be deserving of notice.

Nothing further elected.
Mrs. Sarah B. White, matron of the Balti-
more and Potomac waiting-room, stated the
circumstances of the assassination heretofore
published. !" recognize Guiteau as the per-
son who fired the shot; had seen him walking
about the gentlemen's room before Garfield
arrived didn't see pistol in the assassin's
hand when she went to the Presidents as
sistance, Guiteau was only about three feet
back of the President; saw nothing remark
able about him. except that he eyed the
ladies' room.n She said Guiteau wore his hat
straight.
The prisoner bowed approval.
Robert A. Parke, ticket agent of the Balti-
more and Potomac, testified: Saw Guiteau
the morning Of July I'd; saw the firing !;
rushed from the Office into the corridor and
seized Guiteau as he fed. and held him till a
policeman relieved him; he did nos see the
first shet.
His testimony was unshaken by sharp
questioning.
NOTES FROM THE COURTROOM.
CHICAGO, November 17th.-A Washington
special correspondent believes that the
counsel for Guiteau will attempt to drag
SttlWlfb pOhtico lubO lllS Observation-Disclosures
The arrangements for fair trial and for
keeping order are first class.
One cannot with the same confidence make
the same prediction as to the fate OF Guiteau
while being conveyed between the Court
house and the jail.
The crowd each day which surrounds the
prison van is larger, and expressions of IL
dignation and hatned toward the prisoner are
extremely emphatic.
The Court officers are beginning to have
some apprehensions on this subject. It was
thought to-day that additional precautions
might become necessary.
The trial will now proceed. The order Of
proof on the part of the Government will
be first, the shooting second, ths death !;
third the motive.
WEAKNESS OF THE DEFENSE.
A striking illustration of the weakness of
the defense in the technicalities of the Court
was shown when the Government had used
its fva challenges. Scoviile objected to the
fifth challenge, saying: You have already
had four, and this makes the fifth" Juds 9
Cox interposed saying 1.-THE prosecution is
entitled to fve." AT this Scoyille, whoze
skill in conducting the examination of wit
nessess as to their qualifications had excited
the admiration of tie local bar, was, of
course, somewhat confused, and then Guiteau
turned excitedly to his brother and said {:
Robinson did that. He said the Govern
ment had only four challenges. He is 60
lawyer" Then looking eagerly over to the
reporters benches, Guiteau exclaimed to
them: Robinson is no lawyer. He said the
Government had only four challenges. Put
that down"
These were speeches of reasoning and petty
malice which helped to convince many of the
gentlemen who sat at the reporters table that
play, and that he is doing his best to aid his
counsel in their plea of insanity.

A New Railway Fnternrise-

Since the demand for lumber and
timber has grown into strong cur
rent westward, as we'll as south
westward, n the Wisconsin timbered
regions, an outlet by rail direct to the
northwest is looked for and urgently
demanded A route which would at
the same time make an outlet east
ward for the grain Of the northwest,
through northern Wisconsin to the
nearest point Of lake navigation, Is
the design Of this new railway pro :
ject. The largest half of the state
of Wisconsin is north Of a line
drawn due west Of the city of Green
Bay. There is broad belt Of coun-
try, rich in soil and timber, directly
west of Oconto. through to the St
Croix river and the Minnesota line
The forty billions Of standing pine.
which the late census accredits Wis
consin, is upon the tributary to this
belt of country. A line of railway
running through this timbered belt
across the state would take the whole
product of the tinbered northern
half Of Wisconsin. as it would cross
at the right place all of the principal
streams draining those regions Of
wealth. And as it would at the same
time form trunk line for grain east
ward from the northwest, it can not
be doubted, that it is project which
must prove successful as an invest
ment of capital and of immense i'm
portance to the development Of the
country.

There has been considerable com
plant made from Auburndale about
the general disturbance made by the
Indians, who inhabit some parts of
the above town. They are Potawa-
tamies and do not belong there tho
they arc killing deer in large numbers,
chepping the best Eastwood trees for
the bark with which to build camps
and are also chopping large quantities
Of the best and largest red oak trees
20 browse their ponies, leaving the
trees to rot; and then they also annoy
the settlers by Petty theiving and let
ting down feaces that are put up
around hay-stacks by the farmers, ana
allow their ponies to feed on the hay
A large number of them are inhabit
ing that section. The settlers think
that by having the game law en-
forced they could be made to seek
other quarters.

Friday morning last while train of
five cars and caboose, under the care
of conductor Dan. Sweeny were going
at the rate Of II miles per hour and
on down grade five miles west of
Dexterville, the fange on one of the
truck wheels broke into pieces and
wrecked the train terribly. The en-
CINE was moving backward and draw
ing the cars after it, When the
wheel broke. the engineer jumped
from the cab as also did the con-
ductor, but the fireman Mr.. VIM.
Barlement got his foot caught in the
wreck and was taken into the ditch
with the engine. His leg and foot
was smashed fine below the knee and
he escaped from being scalded to death
by crawling out from the debris.
The conductor was also badly bruised
The engineer, Frank Miller having
jumped opposite to the way the engine
went escaped unhurt. The engine
was turned end for end and the box
car had gone clear over it while an
other was on the top of it and still
another on the side of it The dam
age done the engine is considerable
while the tender is complete wreck
as also several Of the cars Mr..
Barlement was taken to Green Bay
but had his wounds bandaged by Drs
Whitney and Mosher at this station
before proceeding further. The train
boys had been sent to get train Of
cars loaded with wheat at Merrill n
Junction Conductor Buchanan and
Road Master Cornell were sent out to
pick up the wreck. They returned
with it on Saturday night. It is "a
fearful looking sight. The general
wonder is how the boys escaped alive.
No blame is attached to any one in
particular.

Returns from most of the precincts
Of the county have been received, and
they show that Mr.. Gardner has been
elected County Judge by almost an
unanimous vote. One Baker has
visited every Town in the county. and
personally importuned nearly every
voter to vote for him; but the result
shows that respectable men Of all par
ties preferred to vote for a man for
that Office who is not known to be a
defaulter and scalawag.
NJ. G. Woodwork, Esq, was a
candidate aud had there been no other
candidate against Mr.. Gardner, would
undoubtedly have received respectable

The birds have flown and it is a
good thing for the entire community.
Saturday evening about 10 o clock,
two prisoners, respectively Frank La
yigne and Alex Juneau who were a
waiting trial for house breaking and
robbery committed at Garrison &
Whittlesey's store few weeks since,
made their escape by boring the North
wall Of the Jail and making hole
through the frozen ground large
enough to squeeze through. They are
terrible hard eases and we are glad to
get rid of them The evidence against
them was not Of the best kind and it
was feared by many had they staid
trial, would probaly have escaped pun
ishment. As it is now the county will
be saved large bill of costs aud the
boys having added Il new crime to
their list will doubtless steer clear of
this section. Again we are notified of
the fact that we reed court house
and Jail in particular. Tho it is
good ridance to have them 60, it is IA
1al TO the best interests of law abiding
people to have such things happen in
!" o"d County, It IS to be hoped desires
to rank hrst-ciass in respect to order
and uprlghtness in her borders and
this being the case We deplore their
escape from public stand point tho
from personal feeling we are clad
they have pulled out. No blame is to
be attached to Sheriff Wheelan as he
could not do any better than he has
done. We consider the present Jail
unfit in every particular to keep pris-
oners. The law persumes a prisoner
innocent until properly convicted,
and persons arrested and in the hands
of the sheriff should be treated as in
nocent until convicted. We have no
doubts IN our mind but Frank and
Alex are guilty and should be tried
anu punished, but the Jail they were
In is CERTAINLY unfit to hold even them
