The alluring from Canada and arrest of Daniel
Brown, q periurer. by the woman whose charac-
ter he DETAINED in court is the sensation of the
city Mrs. Julia Dunn, a woman of great per-
sona1 charms and refinement, is the heroine A
year ago Mrs Dunn was prosecuting witness in
a charge of heinous nature against Ezra Coon
err, citizen of Union City estimated to be
worth two or three millions. Although George
Howard and Daniel Brown swore to statements
which greatly compromised Mrs. Dunn, the jury
convicted Cooper and heavy penalty was inn
posed.
Mrs. Dunn declared she would be revenged
and set herself to work weaving net into which
she allured Coopers witnesses, getting some of
them to confess 10 subornng witnesses, and had
Brown and Howard indicted Brown and How
ard fed to Canada Mrs. Dunn followed last week
in the guise of woman in deep mourning, and
with the aid of confederate got Brown away
from his friends, and had him well on his way
to the States when Cooper who had mstrusted
Mrs. Dunn's absence from home, suspected that
Brown was a captive. A race was made for the
Niagara river Cooper giving out that Brown
was being kidnapped.
The race for fifty miles was a desperate one
and eliminated In both parties striking the river
within ten miles of each other. Mrs Dunn,
who was on the American side with officers sue
ceeded in getting boats to the detective who had
Brown in custody Brown, believing that the
pursuing party wanted to arrest him, sprang
into a boat and, with the detective aboard
pulled for the American side. He did not dis
cover the ruse until he WAS under arrest.
Mrs. Dunn is a ycnn0 and very pretty woman,

tirey alone, excepting with the assistance of her

Richard Smith on the rayne Case.
There is but one way. and that is to bring the
Senate close to the people. Legislature may
be corrupted This proposition does not need
proof. There enough and more than enough
of corrupters in the United States Senate today.
But the people of State cannot be corrupted.
Therefore, the Constitution should be changed
in order that Senators may be elected by th5 peo
pie at large as the Governor of Stete is elected.
Under this rule members wno hold purchased
seats in the United States Senate would fall
like the leaves of autumn under q killing
frost To this it must come if we would pre-
serve the Republic. To this it must come
if we would dethrone mere wealth and enthrone
honesty and capacity AS it is it is no honor to
be member of the United States Senate Money
bags are too numerous and brains too scarce.
That which was organized check upon the
representatives of the people has come to he the
representative of what may be called the vulgar
ity of wealth. AS matters stand, it would be
policy for the States to sell senatorships at auc.

the public treasury. Thas would save legisla-
lures from bring corrupted, while its~ould help
to pay taxes which the people are required TO
bear. Wo1id not this be Improvement upon
present methods?

TEsTIFYING IN HIS OWN DEFENSE.
Harrison Gives the History of His Life and
Tells About His Relations with Wheat.

The Harrison examination last evening did
not have enough interest in it to keep even the
defendants attorneys wide awake. By a ruling

regard to his knowledge of Wheat's character,
was admitted. He did not give the principal
witness of the prosecution much consideration

advantage to the defense, as they knew nothing
of Wheat's standing Harrison himself testified,
and after recounting the details of his life from
the time of his birth in Alabama, in
1849 his experience as a slave and participa-
ton in the war of the Rebellion on the Union
side, told of his eleven years teaching
in the public schools here. his short service as a
railway postal clerk on probation, his brief peri
cd as lawyer and his appointment as letter
carrier. This brought him down to Wheat,
whom he knew very well. but he denied that
mans entire statement about the check and his
visit to the postofce for the purpose represented
by him. He saw Wheat on Market street early
on the Saturday morning mentioned in this case.
He, the witness, was going out with his mail,
and answered Wheat's hail by saying II haven't
any time to stop That day, about three min
utes to l o'clock, Wheat came to the postoffice
window, and called for him. He had been there
before. and paid no attention TO the summons.
This time he went, and was asked by Wheat for
ten cents with which buy TOBACCO. He gave
him half the plug he had. That was all he
knew of Wheat, who did not have good feeling
for him. Harrison had at one time interfered in
love affair Wheat carried on with young
friend of his. OF course, the LAWYERS could not
forego the chance of another evening, and the

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Shall We Sch?

To the Editor of the Indianapalis journal
Can we ever be sure beyond a reasonable
doubt when the right time to sell has coney AS
a general rule. perhaps, we cannot. There are,
however. some articles that constitute exceptions.
They are such as are perishable, and cannot long
be preserved, and must be speedily thrown upon
the market There are other articles, that are in
demand oEiy for the season. and the price is con-
sequeLtly governed by the seasons trade. The
question is frequently asked farmer Of an
other concerning the really excellent crop of
wheat now on hand: w hat shall we do with it?
| The most common and valuabie products of the
| farm, such as wheat are always In market at
| some price though subject to frequent huctua-
| tons. The rule holds to all the leading prod
| ucts of the farm and this renders it impossible
to lay down any fixed rule TO the best time to
| put them on the market, but there are some sug-
cestions that may commend themselves as use
| full in all considerations or the question. The
| farmer should keep hi nself as we'll informed AS
possible concerning the condition of the market.
To this end he must keep his eyes and ears open.
/ Not only must he watch closely the local mark
| cts, but also the state of the market in other
/ places, and especially those whose trade affects
| the most directly bis own market. This cannot
| be done unless the farmers take and read good
/ papers. From these he will get tabular market
/ statements. He may also reasonably expect TO
/ get from those whose business it is to make them
/ up, intelligent and impartial comments, from
/ which he may gather assistance in making up his
| judgment. 1t frequently takes place that neces-
/ sity compels him to sell, in which case he must
do so without much regard to price; but in other
! cases he is Free and ought so govern himself
/ cordng to the probabilities that to his Judgment
| seem the most reasonable. mans business
| must pay him living profit, or he must go out
/ of it, He cannot live on losses, and therefore it
| is dictate of common sense that he cannot sell
/ his commodities at a price that Is not more than
/ the cost to him OF producing them, and this he
| will never do unless in the face of a certainty
/ that prices will not he any better. Some farm
/ ers who are observed to be reasonably prosper
Gus, make it rule TO sell all their farm produce
| as soon as it is ready for the market They
seldom get the highest prices that rule through
! out the year, but they receive money from time
to time throughout the year, and avoid various
risks such thefts and fires. injuries by weather.
the trouble and expense of storage and insur-
ance, reduction by waste and shrnkage. In
times like the present, farmers must be content

prices may result in serious disappointment and

nothing in the Recorders Court DR. Adams
concluded to sell his property and leave the city
to escape the harassing annoyances It oc-
Cured to him, however, that he had an ample
ground for a heavy damage suit against Milton
Tootle, proprietor of Tootles Opera house,
growing out of the following circumstances,
which occurred during the recent appearance
of the show burlesque on the "Mikado" was
given, and when the Lord High Executioner'
came in and announced to the Mikado that he
had slain Nanki-Poo, the Mikado, who was
smoking coD-pipe, and who spoke with strong
Hibernan accent, said: MY God! you have
merriment, and DIR. Adams has been held up to
public ridlcule ever since. The gentleman has
consulted the best legal talent in the city. and
will institute suit for damages for $25. 900. A
certain gentleman of this city, of large means,
having confidence i'll the Doctors grounds for
action. has offered him 81, 900 for his case. Mr..
Toote is worth several million dollars. and will

times, recently, been the scene of similar occur
rences, and it was not long ago that prominent
society gentleman was insulted from the stage
while sitting in the audience with his sister.
