More About Guiteau,

CHICAGO, Oct. 2l.-In the Scoville in.
sanity case Fannie Scoville Harper, the
daughter testified that she intercepted a
note from Geo. ". Earle to Mrs. SEQ.
vile, the contents of which were very
improper and that she had seen her
mother kiss three men when she had no
right to, and heard of many others she
had kissed. She declined to give the
names. DR., A. McFarlan, of Jacksonville.
ILL.,, who was subpeued, but did not
testify in the Guiteau murder trial. and
who has been for 90 years in the hos
pital for the insane in New Hamphire
and Illinois, said: 1s years ago Luther
w. Guiteau brought to him an insane
sister for treatment. From Guiteau's
talk, which was very peculiar, he set
him down as crazy man. The impress
sion made was very strong on the wit
ness and he readily saw how Luther's
son could get in to a state of mind nee.
essary to kill President Garfield. He
met Mrs. Scoville in Washington las,
winter; she had a fierce controversy
with John W. Guiteau about witnesses
testimony. John declared nobody
should testify his father was
insane, Mira. ScoviIIe said
he should testify, and said all the fam
lily were predisposed to insanity. He
believed that Mrs. Scoville's fainting
and epilepsy were sure to produce insan-
ity, her being chaste and loving wife
until recently, and her sudden change
was good evidence to him of her unsound
mind. He held, in short, that the whole
family, including john W., were of IN.
sound mimi and more or less insane.

Among the Republican nominees in
Lsber,o county we are glad 10 see the
name Of our friend, } H. Crlchton, for
representative. Without wishing 10 in
terirrc in the affairs IF the Republicans
Of that county, VIC must express the
hope that he will be elected by good
majority. We do so because we be-
lieyc his election would be a good thing
for Labelie county and the state at
large. Mr.. Crichion has had experience
in the Legislature and in state affairs
that would make him a valuable men,
Der OF that body. We know him 10 be
thoroughly devoted Ia the interests of
the slate. In his capacity as regent of
the Normal school at this place for
several years he has proved his devo-
lion to those interests ia many
ways. To him more than To any
other man, perhaps, is due the
present substantial and successful stand
lag Of this institution. He has labored
necessarily through ali its troubles TO
bring the school to its present coa-
dition, and il is To his splendid execu-
tive and financial ability. as well as u
his unselfish efforts and never firing en-
ergy that the school owes much of its
triumphant success over obstacles that
al one time seemed in surmountahle. II
is selEsustaiDing, aud while all the
mf mbers Of the board have worked faith
fuilv TO achieve this cad, Mr.. CriehIon,
by reason of being long member, and
by reason of being well posted in its at.
fairs, was put forward by the board to
do the work, and he has done it with a
fidelity that has been marked. We be.
lieve Mr.. Crichton would do the same
kind Of work for the public good in the
legislature, and We shall hail his cleo
lion, if he should succeed, as good
thing for the people.

him that Harris and the Captain, Sr.
were in Jail in Cincinnati and that Har.
ris was about to make statement put
ting the murder on the captains father

only safety was by telling his story first
and showing him how he
could tell story that would

and let the witness himself go free. Be-
sides twas said that there was a large
reward offered and that the witness
