TRIAL OF GRAHAM.
Fat Jsnitor Of Iowa State House Re-
sists DISCHARGE.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 1.-THE
trial Of Tom Graham. the man VINO is
said to be too fat to be a janitOr at
the statehOuse has come to be a farce
and laughing stock of the capital city
and the state Graham was dis
charged two weeks ago because, as
Custodian McCardy said he was too
fat. He weighs 270 pounds. but is 6
feet inches and walks erect and firm.
Being a veteran of the civil war, he
notified McCardy that ne would not
be discharged. but would hold his ioh
under the soldiers preference law
passed by the last legislature.
This announcement was hailed with
delight by the old soldiers of the
state and Graham has received scores
of letters urging him to stand by his
guns and work on to the bitter end.
An attempt to enroll the governor in
the fight on Graham failed.
Under the preference law soldiers
may not be discharged from positions
under the state or in cities of the state
except for cause. Graham demanded
trial and his demand caused him to
be brought before McCardy yesterday.
He was represented by Senator c.. G..
Dowel and Judge Charles Mckenzie,
two of the best known lawyers in Des
MOines.
where's the judge?" asked Senator
Dowell.
Il am the judge" said Custodian Nc
Carly.
But you are the prosecuting wit
ness" laughed the senator. After the
law was looked up it appeared that no
provision hal been made for a Judge
in such cases and the case came to
trial before McCardy, who had brought
the charges.
Il want a jury" said Tom Graham.
"The law doesn't provide for jury"
replied McCardy.
do you mean that you are to be
judge. jury and prosecuting witness?"
Senator Dowell asked of McCardy.
That appears to be about it,
Under this farcical situation the trial
proceeded. AS prosecutor McCardy
examined all the witnesses. The trial
will continue several days. Graham's
lawyers are ready with a writ of GER
tiorari to get the proceedings reviewed
by the district court in the event Of
decision against their client.

Traded Wives,

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. LIT is no
use to lie, we traded wives" said ia
cob eastman today, in court Cash
man, with Mrs Mary Beckman, the
woman he drew in the trade, appeared
in court on complaint Of Cashman's
wife, Mamie eastman. eastman was
charged with ife-desertiOn and the
woman with profanity. Mrs. eastman
is said to have been traded to Fred
Beckman, husband of Mary Beckman.
The court proceedings failed to dis
close anv evidence of a money con-
sideration.
It is said that things went along
smoothly after the trade was made
and the strange deal had every ap-
pearance of developing into something
of a permanent nature. At length,
however, the women met and hostili-
ties began. The men met and hostili-
ties were continued. The two men
came to hot words and heavy blows.
One thing led to another and then
through jealousy, it is said, Mrs CASH
man caused the arrest of the hus-
hand who had traded her off and the
woman who succeeded her in his af-
fections. About ninety days ago Fred
Beckman, one of the parties to the
trade was brought before Justice
Stout charged with wife desertion. At
that time ne was fined.

symptoms.-DR. c. G. GREEN.
The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected. The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in
telligence.
There is no disease known that gives SC
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be so quickly reached and checked,
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
1t is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given in the cough that won't quit,
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, &C
cornpanied by frequent expectoration.
But no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect a cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.

De Proballe's turn came next, and de-

seized in the same manner and carried,
fighting and screaming out impotent
threats and curses, in the direction of the

But before his ruthless captors reached
the pond an interruption came. Gerard
and Gabrielle, with some others in attend
ance had been riding, and were returning,
when their attention was attracted by the
sounds of the disturbance, and they came
in full view of the proceedings just when
Dauban stood shivering after his ducking
and the crowd had seized upon de Probable.
Gerard was for letting the thing be set
tied by the people, but Gabrielle would not,
and with touch of the spur put her horse
in the way.
Her appearance was the signal for a
rous1ng cheer. and as soon as she could
