mz wife and myself, at Richter's house and
there we talked the matter over until we
concluded that the best thing to be done
was to seek divorce. Richter promised to
marry my wife after he had been divorced
from his own; to her he agreed to give the
same share. on his death-one third of his
entire estate. He was a wealthy man but
it was all held in her name, and on his part,
she agreed to transfer everything to him
The two applications for divoIce were ac-
cordingly filed in the court. In each case
The ground for the suit was made adultery
because there had to be some ground, or
else the divorce would not be granted
There was really however no adultery
committed at all, at least that am aware
of Richter never paid me $1,000 nor
gave me any money at all in the whole
transaction That part of the story was a
lie; the part which accuses us of
having swindled Richter is also lie.

SWAPPING WIVES.
How a general change was
Effected.
Both couples agree to change
and commence again.
The particulars of the
transaction at Indian
apolis.

According to an editorial paragraph in
the Chicago Times, society in Indianapolis
is deeply excited over the filing of divorce
suits by August Richter and DIR. Hensy
Baumueller. In speaking further of the
case, the Times says: 'The charge in
each case is adultery, but it is declared
that a compromise has been made whereby
each viii marry the divorced wife of the
other, Richter paying Baumueller 81 900.
The doctor has gone to St. Louis, and they
are now stopping at the Tivolf hotel, the
fashionable German headquarters on
Fourth street. The story limited at in the
paragraph is, in its details, which are now
published correctly for the first time so
strange that while it is not quite incredible,
it is certainly very ludierous. These is a
quadrangular love affair, the parties to
which, according to English ideas, are as
unsuited to each other as persons could
well be. They are Germans, however and
the German lover is not so particular
always in ascertaining the exact age of the
object of his affections as is the English.
In the beginning, there are two couples,
seemingly suited in every way to each
other, one is affiuent, the other in toler
ably good circumstances
In one instance the husband and wife
are nearly of the same age-fifty years
with grown-up children. In the other the
husband and wife are young with no chill
dren.

SWAPPING WIVES.


INDIANAPOLIS, April 10.-Two divorce
suits were filed late last night which Great
ed profound sensation in German circles.
DR.. Henry BaumuelIer VS.. Lena, and Au-
gust Richter VS.. Christina, are the titles of
the cases, and Richter charges his wife
with adultery with Baumueller. The 9th
er suit is supposed to be of similar import.
Notwithstanding the reticence of attor-
neys the explanation is given that Richter
and Baumueller became mutually enamor-
ed with each others wife, and q comprom-
Use was reached whereby an exchange will
be effected through the medium of di-
vorce and marriage, Richter paying Bau-
mueller 81 900 cash and a share in the
household goods. The latter, accompan-
led by Mrs. Richter, left for St. Louis last
night, one son of Richter's accompanying
them. To-day it is reported that Richter
finds himself badly overreached in the
transaction, inasmuch as all his property is
in his wife's name and she went away
without making a transfer. Richter was
formerly a street commissioner, and is a
German of prominence. Mrs. Baumueller
still remains away from Richter, but it is
said is quite willing for the change"
When he had finished the reading of the
telegram, he said it was partly true and
partly false. The parts which were false
SO excited his indignation that all traces of
reluctance to talk vanished, and he gave a
complete history of his connection with
the Richter family. This is

TIE YOUNG HUSBAND,

Forgetful of his own wife becomes at
taehed to the lady who has passed the me-
ridian of life. The attachment here is mu-
tual in the instance of the Young wife
who sets herself even with the husband by
loving a man twice her age. Add to this
that the two husbands and the two wives
hold a consultation and decide that the
best thing to do is to remain fast friends,
to get themselves divorced, and to marry
each other again in more congenial way,
and you have the outline of the queer
story which was told yesterday by one of
the parties most interested-Dr Baumu
eller-himSelf
The doctor is a gentleman not over
thirty years old, well bred and well
educated. Although by no mean i'll favor
ed, he is at the same time not an Adonis,
and his personal appearance will not ex-
plain the grdpde passion with which he has
inspired the quiet, motherly-looking lady
of fifty who is now at the Tivoli hotel
and who left her husband, her family and
the home where she has lived the greater
part of her life to follow him to strange
city.
DR.. Baumueller wished as far as pos
sible to avoid notoriety, and he was no
little astOnished when reporter found
him out. Not wishing to speak of his
family matters at first, he was induced to
change his mind, when he told of the
many varying and sensational stories
which have been in the last few days tele
graphed concerning him from Indianapo
lis to newspapers all over the country. OF
these publications he was not aware, and
could hardly credit their existence until
the following, clipped from the Chicago
Times, was shown him:

A Publlc Duty.

We are not in the habit of pufing any sort cf patent medicines in our columns, for the business of newspaper is to let people know what is going on in the world and not to lend aid to what may be an imposition. Bat we happen to know Dr. David Kennedy sf Rondout N. r., and can personally testify to the excellence of the medicine which the doctor calls "Favorite Remedy" And if 8 word of ours will persuade anybody to use it and thus find relief from suffering. no profes- nonal etiquette shall hinder us from saying that word. For diseases of the blood, kid neys and bowels, it has no equal. We would not be without it for i've times the dollar that h costs. .-UdSlg Times
