THE CHRIsTIANCY SCANDAL.
Startling Developments Which Look Bad fO
Mrs. ChristiancY... Evidence Of her Grim

Startling Developments Which Look Bad for
Mrs. Christiancy---E Evidence Of her Grim
inality.
The man Giro Cuban who came from New
York OH the steamer from Peru with Mrs.
Christiancy, and testified to his criminal intima-
cy with her, though doubtless a william, is not
SO much fraud after all His testimony is
sustained by large number of letters from Mrs.
Christiancy, whose genuineness are not disputed.
These letters are painful surprise to those
who believed in her innocence. She pathetic
ally appeals to Giro to come to Washington and
save her from disgrace and shame, and repeat
edly threatens suicide if her lover refuses to save
her. The following is fair speciman of her
letters though others contain clearer limitations
of her criminal relations with Giro:

come to me. If you do not, then let principles Of

Trees md Grain.

Where the sugar maple, beach white and
black oaks flourish the farmer can put in
his plough with confidence that wheat, oats,
and similar small grains, will give him re-
munerative crops. These trees abound in
the Genesee valley, once the most famous
wheat region on this continent; and to- day
the hard wood lands of central and west
ern New York show their strength and rich
ness in the grain fields and the millions of
bushels of fruit from orchards and gardens.
The forests of Ohio, Indiana, and parts of
Michigan are similar to those of New York,
and the fertility of the soil shows that they
did not mislead the early settlers in these
States. Wherever we find the hardwood
trees fourishiDg we are certain to find a
rich soil and healthy climate, whether it be
in the Northern, Middle or Southern States
The winters may be sew ere, but where the
choicest of our Northern forest trees grow
there the grains and fruits adapted
to cool climates will also thrive
Prolific Corn.
The most prolific corn grown is the
Blount's white prolific, on account of its
habit of bearing several ears on eacl
| stalk. The ears are comparatively
small, with small cobs. A large kinc
of corn grown in Pennsylvania, the
Chester County Mammoth, or the gourd.
seed corn, has yielded considerably more
than 100 bushels of grain per acre. The
Sturtevant Pedigree corn, a small yellow
flint corn, has yielded nearly 100 bushels
per acre in Massachusetts, on rather pool
soil. Either of these varieties will make
good kind for farmer to take in hand anG
improve for himself by careful cultivation
and selection of seed. 1t is in this way tha
corn growing has been made successful
1t is useless to get good seed if the same
methods by which it has been grown ar,
not continued in growing it. Otherwise i

The Assassin's Home.

FREEPoRT, ILL.,, July 4.-The startling
news of tbs shooting of President Gar
field was received here at an early hour
this morning, and created quite a SEN
sation, from the fact that the party
who did the shooting was from here,
and is well known to most of the in
habitants. The people were not at all
surprised when they learned he COM
mitted the deed, for he was always re-
garded from boyhood up, as very
queer individual, possessed of a bad
temper and at all times disposed to be
contrary. He is the son of the late
Luther w. Guiteau, who was cashier of
the Second National bank for years anda
gentleman who stood we'll in this COM
munity. 1t is said that had it not been
for the recklessness of his son he would
have lived several years longer. The
father of the criminal was native of
New York state, and was born in
Utica, Oneida county, March 3,
1910. He came west as far as
Michigan, and engaged in mercantile
business at Ann Arbor. In 1882
he came to Illinois and settled in Free
port in the month of October of that
year. He engaged in mercantile bust
ness. In 1910 he was appointed post
master under President Harrison, and
held that Office several years. He be-
came embarrassed in business, but he
PAID ALL HIS CREDITORS
in full, though he sacrificed all he had
in doing so. After serving in the post
Office some time he was appointed
deputy clerk of the circuit court and
was afterward elected clerk of that
court and held that Office four years,
and declined to become candidate for
re election. He was afterwards APP
pointed and served again as deputy
clerk. Upon the organization of the
Second National bank he became book
keeper and acted in that capacity for
one year, and then was elected cashier
of the bank in April, 1865, and occu-
pied that position up to the time of his
death. Mr.. Guiteau was man of I'M
swerving integrity, and enjoyed the
confidence of the president and board
of directors of the bank to such an ex-
tent that for long time he had the re-
sponslble management of the lnstitu-
ton.
IN. L..
half brother, stated that Charles j.
is not considered a ,nember of the
family, and that no attention will be
paid to the matter. He has incurred
their ill-will by bad conduct. Hon.
John I'll. Adams, the president of the
Second national bank, in which institu-
ton Mr.. L. w. Guiteau, the father of
the criminal, had long been cashier, was
called upon. Mr.. Adams was in
formed of the crime of which Guiteau
had just committed, aad said in reply
that he felt no particular surprise as he
knew him to be very erratic man
from his youth up, and just the person
to execute some sensational act. His
head was always filed with visionary
schemes. He was also member Of
THE FAMOUS ONEIDA COMMUNITY
in central New York. His full name is
Charles julius Guiteau. The last time
he was in Freeport was about three
years ago, when he remained but
couple of days.

to arrive at the jail to be in readiness
to repel any attack. That the assassin
was Gitteau is verified by the officer in
charge, and was placed in cell. About

For the information OF the creditors. the
receiver will state that the capital stock OF
the company is now $4,000. The last
sctnary's estimate OF the liabilities OF The
company was made December 81, 1879, and
they then amounted to S1,270.713.52. The
assets OF the compa0y for the benefit OF the
general creditors consist almost entirely OF
lthe real estate and the mortgages upon real
estate. The books OF the company have
been kept in such loose and unbusiness.
like manner hat 1t has been difficult for
the receiver to make anything like an accu-
rate estimate Of the value OF them. His
examination, however, reveals the fact that

been obtained by it at excessive costs-R
