be mean or poor which brought these weary years
of waiting to an end. He practical man,
little given to enthusiasm of any Sort but for her
sake he looked with glowing vision upon the tur-

purple shadows and golden lights. How she
would rejoice them, that quiet little denizen
of Western prairies who had lived among the mo-
notonous levels of Central Illinois all her life.
The thought lent cheerful energy to his voice as
he entered the yard and gave some directions to
Maxon, his hardworked bookkeeper and general
factotum. Proctor was deeply engrossed in MAX

lumber when a shadow darkened the door, and
the tramp stood before him. He could not re-

The young lumberman took his way to the office.
A little later the rudy visage of Maxon looked
in at the door as he returned from dinner.

him.
"Now, Mr. Proctor!" exclaimed Maxon, in hope
less protest. as it another of them fellows?'
well, you see, he declared he was willing to
work, and it seems only fair to give a man
chance"
The broad-shouldered young proprietor was
avowedly on the defensive.

me out to have you made a laughing-stock all over

Yes, you may depend upon me to keep eye on

An EXCITING Experience.

Fremont Gazetteer: Ed Brubaker, of
Cedar, was in town Tuesday and had
occasion to visit the Heisel barns in
the southeast part Of town. Tying his
team securely, he went into the place
and after finishing his business united
his team and started to get into the
buggy just as the big gasoline engine
at the Beck & Darner elevator was
started. The noise of the exhausts
frightened the horses and they gave
sudden start, knocking Mr.. Brubak-
er down and started to tear towards
home. They had not gone far before
they collided with a telephone pole
with su" cient force to break it in
two, and here they were loosed from
the buggy. One horse was caught by
Fred Eastburn near the Albert Caves
residence and the other was captured
west OF town by Earl Alderman and
John Purdin The buggy was badly
damaged. but Mr.. Brubaker and the
horses came out of it with only few
scratches.

BIG GRAFT TRIAL BEGINS
FIRST OF. THE PENNSYLVANIA
CAPITOL CASES OPENS.
Architect Huston, Contractor Sander.
son and Three Former State Of.
ficials Are the Defendants.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan. 27.-The first
of the 81 criminal suits against former
state officers, contractors and Others
connected with the building and fur
nishing of the new capitol of Pennsyl.
yania will be brought to trial in the
Dauphin county court Monday before
Judge Kunkek $50
The defendants in the suits listed
for trial are Architect Joseph NJ Hus-
ton and Contractor John Sanderson,
Philadelphia; former Auditor General
William P. Snyder, Spring City; for.
mer State, Treasurer William L.
Mathues of Media, and James NJ Shu-
maker, Johnstown, former superin-
tendent of public grounds and build
ings.
The defendants are charged with
conspiracy to cheat and defraud the
state out of $135,000 by falsifying the
weight and measurements of certain
furnishings supplied by Sanderson un-
der his per foot" and per pound
contract with the board of grounds
and buildings. The prosecution has
selected five cases against these de-
PENDANTS to be tried first.
The suits against Congressman H.
Burd Cassel of the Pennsylvania Con-
struction company which supplied the
metallic furniture for the capitol, who
is under indictment on charges of con-
spiracy and false pretense, and against
the remaining eight defendants in
these prosecutions, will be tried later.
The total cost of the capitol was
$13 zoo, 900, of which 100000 was ex-
pended by the building commission for
construction and 100000 by the
board of grounds and buildings for
furnishings. Sandersons contract
amounted to $5,4S7S99 and his profit
in some instances is alleged to have
been as much as 1000 per cent. Hus-
ton designed the capitol and the fur
nishings and received in commission
more than 100000. Shumaker is &C.
cused of having failed to audit the
bills OF Sanderson and other contract
ors and of having accepted Huston's
certifications that the work was &C.
cordiEg to specifications. Mathues is
alleged to have paid the bills and
Snyder is said to haze passed the
bills without their having been audited
in either case.
Many of the furnishings supplied by
Sanderson and other contractors will
be produced by the commonwealth be-
fore the jury and experts will be called
to show that they are not up to the
specifications and that the prices were
excessive and not according to con-
tract. Experts in metallic ana wooden
furniture marble and other furnish.
ings will be called as witnesses by
each side.
