WHERE GUITEAU SLEEPS.
No Fakir’s Hands Have Ever Handled the
Assassin’s Hones.
Washington, Sept. 12.—It has been
the general belief that the skeleton of
Guiteau, who murdered President Gar
field, is on exhibition in the Medical
museum. Deputy warden Russ, of the
District jail, said that with the excep
tion of the brain and other organs of the
assassin what remains of him lies be
neath the floor of the laundry room of
the jail.
Mr. Russ says that just before the ex
ecution of Guiteau the assassin was
much troubled in mind lest his body
would get into the hands of showmen
and he mutilated. Rev. Dr. Hicks and
Mr. Russ promised Guiteau that they
would secure it from grave robbers.
Guiteau thereupon made a will leaving
the disposal of his body to Dr. Hicks.
On the morning after the hanging,
Mr. Russ says, two trusties dug a grave
under the floor of the jail laundry room.

others, a funeral service was read by Dr.

A Proposition to Treat the Insurgent Ships
ns Pirates—Greshafn’s Prompt Ac
tion Commended—No Com
ments on the Report.
London, Sept. 13.—Au official dis
patch has been received at the Brazilian
legation here, which throws light upon
the situation of affairs in that disturbed
republic. The message says that Rio do
Janeiro is in a state of perfect tranquili
ty, notwithstanding alarming reports to
the contrary. The streets, it is added,
wear their usual aspect; the theaters are
open and matters are running along as
usual.
The message adds that the Brazilian
government is strong, has the confidence
of the majority of the people, and that it
will repress all revolt.
Congress has just declared a state of
siege, hut the government prefers not to
be obliged to carry it out.
There is a significant ending to tMs
message, however, and that is that it is
admitted that the insurgents have at
tempted to make several landings at va
rious points, but that they were reputed,
and, it is said, appear to be thoroughly
disheartened and likely to surrender at
any moment.
The insurgent squadron, it appears, is
now held in check by the forts at the en
trance of the hay. where the officers in
command have orders to fire upon the
revolutionary vessels the moment they
are sighted. The gunners are kept at
their posts night and day and submarine
torpedoes have been placed in the chan
nels. At first reports were cabled from
Rio de Janeiro that the insurgent fleet
had managed to put to sea. fearing to
bombard Rio in the face of the determ
ined stand taken by the war vessels of
the foreign powers, but now it is said
that the insurgent ships are short of of
ficers, as only 28 of the latter, all told,
have joined the mutineers.
This official message is regarded here
as being somewhat reassuring, though
the fact is not lost sight of that it is an
official communication from the Brazil
ian government, and thefore likely to de-
pict-the situation in the most favorable
colors.
On the other hand, the message sent
by United States Minister to Brazil. Mr.
Thomas L. Thompson, stating that there
is danger of bombardment of Rio de Ja
neiro is looked upon as being the more
trustworthy regarding the state of af
fairs existing there.
The view Mr. Thompson takes of the
situation was communicated to the Bra
zilian legation here, but the official in
charge refused to make any comment
upon it, simply referring to the official
message received from the Brazilira gov-
e nment.
i ne action of Secretary Gresham in
having ordered the Urnted States cruiser
Newark, at Norfolk, Va.. to set sail
without delay for Rio, is strongly com
mended by Americans and others here
who have property at stake in Rio de
Janeiro, as the bombardment by the in
surgent fleet would assuredly cause con
siderable damage to foreign merchants
who have no interest in the internal
quarrels of Brazil and who would suffer
for other people’s errors.
In view of the statement made by the
Brazilian delegate in Europe to the ef
fect that the naval revolt was not in
spired by patriotic motives, the opinion
expressed by naval officers here is that
the insurgent ships should he treated as
pirates, and that if the government of-
Brazil is unable to bring them to terms,
foreign ships should he called upon to
restore order. It is thought that this
will he done in any case if a bombard
ment of Rio is attempted.

Boomers Are in Line for the Great Cher

Hennessey, O. T., Sept. 11.—The
Cherokee strip boomers are camped here
in great numbers, every stream being
lined with wliite-capped dwellings. One
of the registration booths is located here,
thus causing a concentration at this
point. Much fear is being expressed
among intending settlers lest the booths
will not he ajjje to accommodate all
those desiring 'to enter the country and

Organizations are being formed for
mutual protection and the extermination
of the all powerful “sooner.” and woe to
the unlucky man who shall arouse their
ire. Town site organizations and town
site schemers are running rampant, and
every street corner lemonade vender has
his “sure thing” in the strip, concerning
which he will “put you on" fora reason
able consideration.
The land north of here is of the finest
quality, and the main race from this side
of the territory will he to Enid Land Of
fice, 1G miles from the line. Considera
ble dissatisfaction is being expressed as
to the location of the town site of Enid,
as it is two miles from the depot on the
Rock Island road, and on bad, rough
land. This change was made on account
of an attempt being made tograb land
adjoining the town site as originally laid
out.
A notice has been posted on the main
road leading north from here which en
ters the strip, informing all persons that
they are not permitted to enter the strip
lands for any purpose whatever, without
a permit from Special Agents Schwein-
ford and Womack, and also warning
them that any person crossing the lands
null forfeit all rights to make entry, and
that any person found within the bor
ders of the country will he forcibly eject
ed. A squad of soldiers is stationed at
that point for the purpose of emphasi
zing the warning if need he.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For a great many years doetors
pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh-.to be a
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure
on the market. It is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts
directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They oiler | one hundred dollars

When the germs of disease are
round about us we do not all get
them. Why? Some of us are in
too good a condition. The germs
of Consumption, Grippe, Malaria,
aud all the infections diseases, pass
you by if you are strong to resist
their attack. Render yourself germ-
proof by putting your blood and
liver in a healthy state.
In all blood-taints and diseases, if
the “Discovery” fails to benefit or
cure, your money is returned.
No other medicine of its kind can

CHINESE DEPORTATION.
The Courts Playing at Cross Purposes—An
Old Forty-Niner Going Home.
San Francisco, Sept. 13.—Matters re
lating to the Geary law are more com
plicated here than ever.
Monday Judges McKenna and Mor
row, of the Urnted States circuit, ren
dered a decision in the case of Jim Lee
and three other (“hinese, for whose ar
rest warrants were asked. The court
cited that the Urnted States district at
torney had conceded the right of the
judges to issue such warrant's on the
complaint of citizenn.
They ordered the warrants to be is
sued as prayed for and each Chinese to
be given a separate triol. The last clause
is regarded by many as practically ren
dering the law inoperative.
