Guiteau's Cable.
By sYPHAx.

1t will be remembered that the as
sassin Of Garfield during the trial at
Washington, pronounced a curse up
on all those who took part in the
trial. From events, subsequent to
the execution of the criminal, it
looks as II his curse was to be fulfill
ed. Several Of the jurors have I'M
dergone mental trouble and worri-
ment; Scoville, Guiteau's counsel,
experienced domestic trouble in
having his wife leave him; Read, an
other Of the counsel, has suit PEN
ing for divorce, Hicks, Guiteau's
spiritual adviser, has been abused
and charged with selling Guiteau's
bones, and now Corkhill, the prose
cutting attorney, has been placed un-
der a ban of disgrace, owing to al
legged afliliation with the gambling
fraternity of Washington. Ii it is
true that the spirit OF man can come
back from deaths mysterious
bourne, land some have asserted that
the spirit of Guiteau visits the
Washington jail) then the goblin Of
this mad assassin is certainly kick
ing up high jinks, and before more
harm be done the spirit should he
caught and summarily strung up.
N. b. In addition to tina names
mentioned above, that OF Sergeant
Mason should be enrolled. He suf-
fered imprisonment many months on
account Of his effort to kill the no.
torious assassin.

had intended to redeem my promise
long since, and given you q descrip-
ton of this beautiful city; but am
still suffering from erysipelas, con-
tracted while In West Virginia, and
at this time only able to write brief
ly.
This city Is located on the Iowa
river, about twenty miles above
where the Cedar river empties into
1t, and the waters Of both rivers
flow into the Mississippi some fifty
miles south Of this place. This is
entirely an educational town, altho'
there are varied and important man
ufacturing interests here. This city
was until 1855 the capital OF the
State; the capitol building is now
occupied by the Iowa State Univer-
sity. The capital was removed to
this place from Burlington in 1889,
and from here to Des Moins, the
present capital of the State, in 1855.
List Of schools under control Of the
State University: collegiate, medi-
cal, law, preparatory commercial de
partments, and the schools OF steno-
graphy and telegraphy. In these
various departments OF education
there are about 1900 students which
directly and indirectly make an an
nual disbursement through and by
reason Of these schools OF ct least
$800.000 This ID for the scholastic
year Of 10 months, and supposink
each student expenses at $500. That

Of less than 10000 for educational
