errands and work about the cells At times he
was even afraid of these. He was also allowed the
use OF the double cell at the south end OF the tier
but this was not so assigned for his accommodate
ton, as has been claimed, but for the convenience
OF the officers for from the first it was feared that
he might poison himself IL he procured the ma
terial, or use a knife. By removing him from the
single. cell In the morning 1t could be thoroughly
searched.
DEPRIVED OF NEWSPAPERS
From few days after his commitment to the
time he was taken to court all papers were studt-
ously kept away from him, and all the Information
he could obtain was what he could get by over
hearing the remarks of the guards and other pris-
oners From their actions he was enabled to keen
himself informed as to whether the news from ts.e
President was good or bad. Whenever he heara
that Mr.. Garfield was suffering he would express
his regret that he had caused him SO much pain.
After he had been taken to court, no mob violence

some sympathy for him. During the trial he again
jail he would at times lie at fun length on the seat
till his arrival at the court house.
THE PRESIDENTS DEATH ANNOUNCED TO HIM
Pending the Presidents death Guiteau did not
seem TO care much as to the result. When he
learned through guard that the President was
sunerng, the fact that he fingered long at times
mad the eject to make him doubt the theory that
he was inspired; but at other times he would say
that the matter was sin the Lords hands," When
the sad news reached here OF the death Of the
PRESIDENT at Elberon and II vas communicated to
him he showed no emotion, but remarked. that the
President was out OF his misery. As the TINA for

At the present writing the
friends of both Edwards and
Judge claim the district, al
though on what basis they make
their claims it is impossible to
determine. In this contest the
APPEAL IS glad to be able to say
that it was a fair fight between
two honorable gentlemen, and
nothing has transpired during
the campaign to cause even a
GOODNESS between them. If all
opposing candidates could con-
duct their campaigns with the
same spirit of fairness and JUS
tice, much that tends to make
politics brutal and degrading
weuld be done away with. One
thing which is certain, and that
IS, that in the event of the cleo
ton Of either of these gentlemen
to the Office of District Judge,
the people will have no cause to
regret the fact.

The killing Of James Ander-
son in Eureka, is another de-
plorable tradegy to be Ian at
the door of thoughtless, heed
less journalism. Anderson was
the editor of the Leader, a Re-
publican newspaper, and he
charged Republican candidate
named Reek with giving aid to
the Democrats. This charge, if
true, was one which the editor
was not only at liberty to make,
but he would have been sadly
ueglectful of party interests if
he had not made it. The ev!-
dence in the matter lent weight
to the assumption that the
charge was true. On the other
hand, if Andersen was mistaken
there was nothing in his charge
which should have given serious
offense to politician. By
simply publishing a temperate
denial or calling at the office
and showing Anderson that he
was mistaken, all trouble might
have been satisfactorially ad-
justed. Instead of that, Reek
sought the office of the Sentinel
and published a villainously Of
fensive personal card regarding
Anderson, a card so vile and
disgusting that it surprised the
community Of Eureka, who
wondered why the editor should
so far have lost his head in a po-
litical campaign as to allow his
paper to be disgraced by such Il
contemplate TRADE. AS to the
shooting, the reports conflict and
the question as to who fired the
first shot does not seem to have
been settled. If Anderson fired
the first shot he did a foolish
thing. as even the card, strong
as it was, did not justify the act
of seeking the life of the writer.
In fact, the card was SO vulgar
and meaningless that Anderson
could have we'll afforded to have
treated it with contempt. If
Reek fred the first shot it was
without provocation, as his card
made him the aggressor. The
lamentable occurrence should
teach men in political campaigns
to keep their tempers and bear
in mind the fact that charges
mace in the heat Of a contest are
received by an intelligent COM
munity with considerable allow
ance, and as a rule roll off the
porties concerned like wat er off
Il duck.
