Former United States Senator Will liam Lorimer, who was unseated, is an interested but not a perturbed spec tator of the fight in Chicago to put him behind the bars of the state pen jtentiary. He was placed on trial be- fore Judge William E. Dever of the criminal court, charged with conspira- cy as president of the La Salle Trust and Savings bank, to wreck the bank and it's subsidiaries. Three indict- ments returned against him, charging conspiracy to defraud by false pre- lenses, receiving deposits when the bank was insolvent and a confidence game resulting from alleged misrepre- sentation of the banks assets, were consolidated by stipulation. The de- fense will be that Lorimer, as pres ident of the bank, knew nothing of any improper conduct of the banks affairs, and so cannot be guilty of con- spring to bring about a situation that lost their savings to hundreds of de- pOsitors. On the other hand the state is bulwarked with nearly a hundred witnesses.

Physicians Prescription
 For Rheumatism

Business and professional men ot large means who have taken expen< sive baths at famous resorts and have spent money lavishly to rid them selves of the tormenttng agony of rheumatism, have turned to Rheuma and got well.
