WasHINGTON, August 2.—Another good night has been followed by a fa- vorable miorning in the president’s case, and he is now well ‘started on another day that bids fair to be one of steady improvement. ~Last night's rest had a marked effect upon the general appearance of the patient. One of the best signs to-day is the remarkable steadiness and distinctness of the president’s pulse. It beats with the firmness and regulnnty‘nf a man in good health. The president had for breakfaat a 'piece of rare steak and some tonst. He relished it thoroughly. Afterwards he was raised up in bed, as he has been for several days. He remained in this position all morning. There have been no distinguished callers to-day. Dr. Agnew remains until to-morrow. DOING VERY WELL. ‘WasHiNGToN, August 2.—Dr. Ag- new stated to a friend that the presi- dent was certainly doing very well indeed. . There was no_feature of the case they could wish to have improved. The present progress was in every way satisfactory. The president had taken nourishment three times up to 2:30. Some newspapers _headings were allowed to be read to him. Care is, however, exercised that nothing is allowed to reach his ears in the way of news which might cause any ex- citement or demand an exercise of mind. He is now able to use his arms to lift himself about a little, and. can draw up his legs without suffer- ing any pain, He makes no com- plaint of any pain about the back, al- though all the lower part of the body is stiff. THE PRESIDENT ate an adequate supper and after the dressing of the wound went to sleep. At 9 p. m. his pulse was below 100 and other indications correspondingly moaerated. Since that hour he has slept comfortably and rested as easily as in health. He expresses complete satisfaction with its progress, Dr. Agnew returns to Philadelphia to- morrow and Dr. Hamilton will come on from New York to-morrow even- ing. All of the physicians assure the members of the cabinet that the presi- dent is doing as well as they could wish, Secretary Lincoln returns from Rye Beach to-morrow. Postmaster Gen- eral James and Attorney Gencral McVeagh will remain here all sum- mer. Mrs. Garfield is confident in the ability of her husband to be about in a month, Dr. Bliss said the presi- dent ought to be able to attend to executive business in a few weeks. DR, BLISS INTERVIEWED, W ASHINGTON, August 2,—Dr. Bliss condition than yesterday, a more nat- ural tone of voice being especially perceptible. The external appearance of the wound at the evening dressing was exceedingly ¢ood. 'fimt made by the ball is rapidly granulating, wiilu the discharge from the deeper part of the wound, which is abundant and healthy, comes through the coun- ter opening made by the operation. The rise of temperature this after- noon is moderate and attended by no inconvenience. At present his pulse is 104, temperature 100, respiration Signed) D. HAaves Aonew, ! D. W. Buss, J.K. Banxes, J.

Hinds was at one time under indictment for star routo frands and wught to know something about them. INVESTIGATING THE INFERNAL MACHINE. The government authorities main- tain their reticence in respect to what has been done in regard to the dyna- mite infernal machines exported to England. Tt is no secret that special agents of the state, treasury and jus- tice departments are at work on the case, and it is stated on good au- thority that a clue had been worked satistactorily. Whether this clue is connected with the Peoria branch of the case can not be ascertained. Officers of the department of justice refuse to disclose any particulars at present in regard to the arrest of Crowe in Peoria, Attorney General MacVeagh ‘states that the entire case is in too crude a form to admit of any information in regard to it. The cir- cumstances of its progress and inves- tigation will be known. DEATH OF CONSUL ROGERS, Mr. E. H.

Cuicago, August 2.—The report of the arrest of Crowe, the Peoria in- ventor of the infernal machines, ap- pears to have been a practical joke instituted by the city marshal of that place.

It is impossible to ring up the central office before 8 o'clock m the morning. My ochild was sick this morning and I wished to tele- phone my physician before & #lock, when he begins to mnke his calls: T couldn’t rouse them up at the central office and consequently had to watch my opportunity to catch the doctor. Now if the Exchange is to be a public accommodation why don'’t they begin to work earlier? INQUIRER. WHY ISN'T SOMETHING DONE? To the Editor of The Bee, OmanA, August 2,—About one year and a half ago council granted Mr. Kountze the privilege of narrowing Tenth street, from Pierce south, to fifty feet. In consideration of this he was to plant the remaining twenty-five feot upon either side with shade trees, nicely sod the whole and make a beau- tiful avenue of it. Since the permis- sion has been granted three tree plant- ing seasons have passed and not a sin- gle tree is yet planted, and instead of being sodded only one side of the street is seeded to grass. Whose duty i8 it to see that the contract is carried out! Tomy mind the street shouldn't be left a barren waste. i Sourn OMAHA, ¥ DONATIONS, To the Editor of The Bee, OmAHA, August 2.—One of the most pernicious influences of public donation is its appearance in private entorprise. Not even o street car line can bo built iy this city until proporty owners are ready to come down with enough money to build the road. Onco built it goes under the Marsh admin- wtration. Indeed, it becomes anether lever in favor of this st oly, The sooner an injunction is is- sued against the extension of the pres ent lines under the old charter, the No one will object to Capt Marsh, as Capt. Marsh, building to the park or any other place, but for Capt Marsh to assume to work under the old char- ter is decidedly thin, If a judgment for damages is not good against the old Omaha Btreet Car company because said company has become private property by foreciosure, &c. why lhuul({ the monopoly franchise be good in all the streets, to say nothing of other legal deficiencies. The same legislature that gave the street car franchise, gave another company a similar exclusive franchise for manufacturing, &c.

Number of Men Who ake Two Drinks a Limit,. musing feature of Judge Bene- ily levees is the air of injured nce Wwith which the average coives the announcement that harged with drunkenness. The toper will throw up his hands horror at such a preposterous When it is substantiated by timony of half a dozen police- men and the city marshal insinuates that it required three men to take the fellow to jml he always qualifies the matter by asserting that he might have been drunk. In the historl of the court no one has been known to acknowledge in out and out terms that he was drunk. The more claborately drunk a man had been the less liable he is to admit it the follow- ing day in court. The number of men in Omaha, however, who con- fine themselves to two drinks is al- most beyond belief. Nearly every man brought before the court will ac- knowledge that he had a couple of drinks, but under no consideration can he be induced to say he had three. Two seem to be the limit. The men found in the gutter stick to this state- ment the stoutest. It is a rather curious phase of human nature, but Judge Beneke can wrestle with it about as well as any able-bodied man in Omaha. 1 el UL TR LT LT Serious Accident. Julius Kaufman, the well knowrr German citizen and brother of Coun- cilman Kaufman, met with a severe accident yesterday. He is employedas check clerk at the Council Bluffs depot and while at work there to-daya heavy piece of baggage fell upon him, fracturing his knee cap. He was re- moved to this side of the river and being taken to his home at 1408 South Thirteenth street, wes given medical attention by Dr. Mercer. AL ING READY. To Begin Pumping Water This Evening, EVERYTH The Water Company is ready to n pumping from the river this evening, The brick about the boiler is completely dried, and everything else is in readiness for immediate action. However it is not likely that the pumping will begin before the latter end of the week, owing to the fact the Mr. Cook, of Toledo, the consulting engineer, has expressed a wish to be present at the moment operations are begun. Chief Engineer Davis says that a delay of a couple of days will be made on this account, but at the end of that time work will be commenced. The water will be pumped immediate- ly into an immense basin that s now resdy and as it settles rapidly it will be ready for domestic purposes in a very short time. Specimens of Missouri river water are on exhibition at the compa- ny's office, and if the results in the regular supply are the same they will be eminently satisfactory. It is claim- ed that there is no doubtabout this, he all that it is claimed to be, said Capt. Jack McLean, of Norfolk, Va, have tried it, and have advised and witnessed its trial on others. I tell you its effects are simply wonderful. I had been mfi’eril:‘; a great deal for over a month with very severe pains contracted from a cu{({. 1 first experienced the pain in my side and from its peculiar naiure, 1 thought that it might be the pre- monition of paralysis, My friends were fearful; but after it shifted about, shooting through my body in a ‘most, infernally tormenting manner, I knew that it was rheumatism, and I sought remedies of different kinds, without effect, until T chanced to see the advertisement of St. Jacobs Oil, and read of its wonderful cures, when 1 resolved to give it a trial. Securing a bottle of the Oil, T applied it to the parts affected, and that night I had the first good night's rest that I had since the commencement of my at- tack. gave two other applicaiions and became perfectly cured —not suf- fering from rheumatism since and that has been two months ago Yes, sir, it
