GRAVE CHARGES.
Prominent Iowa City Man Accused Of
Serious offenses.


Iowa City, Dec. ia sensation
was created in business and social
circles here when James G. Cochran,
one of the most prominent citizens OF
Iowa City, was sued In the district
court by Mrs. Jennie B. Lee, who
charges him with five offenses.
She AYERS that on August 10, 1908,
he made criminal assault upon her
at her home, for which she claims
$500 damages. On the 10Th of the
same month, she alleges, the same or
tense was committed.
Mrs. Lee further AYERS that the de-
fendant, in her home, threatened to
expel her therefrom, as owner, unless
she submitted to his demands, and
that he threatened to post a notice
in front of her house, unless she set
tied an account of SIS due him. She
also asserts that he assaulted her in
his office on Clinton street. For this
she asks $500 damages, and as. ex-
emplary damages, she claims $500,
asking in all $500.
The defendant is one of the city's
foremost pioneers, a leader in the
Methodist church, and a director and
vice president of the Johnson County
Savings bank.
In business circles as we'll as in the
social world, he has stood second to
none. His warm friends ridicule the
accusations, and declare it is a. case
of blackmail. The woman has re-

ton Remley and other prominent at

A Sudden TWInge

OF pain is generally the first warning OF
an attack of rheumatism. 1t feels as If
the disease were in the bones or muscles,
but the real cause of rheumatism is
found in impure blood. In order to cure
rheumatism the blood must be cleansed
of the poisonous impurities which are
the cause Of the disease.

THE opEN-A.R CONSUMPTION CURE.

The experiments in Great Britain with the open-air
cure for consumption have recently attracted attention
through the dedication at Edinburgh Of three new pavit
ions for the Victoria Hospital These payens will house
consumptve patients merely rooted over but are
not enclosed The patients upon whom the openair treat
ent is tried sleep doors every night in the year
in spite Of the rgors Of the winter climate in Scotland
Lord Rosebery was the principal speaker at the ded
cation exercises and he emphasized the remarkable sue
cess that has this system of treatment in the
ten years in which it used in Great Britain At
the twenty openar sanitariums in Great Britain hun
dreds CT cases in all stages been treated and with
Z remarkable percentage of cures
There is place the world certainly no place on
the North American continent, more favorable to the
successful application of openar treatment than west
ern Kansas. Colorado is too high and the plains of
western Nebraska are bleak and cold. Western Ok
lahoma probably is equally advantageous with Kansas
There are objections Arizona plains ard the noun

THE GREATEST OF THEM ALL.

Kings fancy they are mighty;
They have their ships at sea,
Their CROWNS are set with jewels,
They strut pretentiously;
They boast about their power,
But mightier than kings
Is tho man who sits in Wall street
And manipulates the strings.
We boast about the glory
That We give our president;
We call his place the highest
Beneath the armament;
But greater than the greatest
OF earth's presidents or kings
Is the man who sits in Wall street
Fleeing lambs and bOssing things.
