PLOTTED WHOLESALE MURDER.
John kOehEer Wanted His Wife and
Emily Killed.


John Koehler is in Jail in Chicago accused
of attempting to have assassin Kill his
entire family. The alleged plot, it is claim
cd, was frustrated by three men. These are
John Meade, a miner of West Superior,
Wis, tramp by force of circumstances;
Capt. Schuettler of the Sheffield avenue po-
lice station, and Detective Banner of the
tramp, and, it is said, was hired to commit
murder.
Koehler broke down when arrested, and
was so limp that officers had to carry him
to a patrol wagon. He is an Alsatian for
ty-two years DID, and has amassed a small
fortune in Chicago, where he has lived for
fifteen years. Four months ago he married
Mrs. Frederike Tuebbecke, who had, be-
sides a handsome face and form, a four
story brick house on Clybourn avenue, from
which she derived snug income by taking
in boarders.
Despite these things the widow brought
suit for 10000 damages for breach of prom
Use before koehler married her. The suit
was begun last summer. When at last the
said, had the whip hand, and enforced as a
condition of the union that in case of death
OF either their combined property should
revert to the survivor.
The affections of the couple began to cool
soon after marriage, and it was not a
month before quarrels were frequent. Three
young children of the wife, by her first
husband, were the cause Of many of the
difficulties. The many disputes finally led
plot to murder the woman and the children

Fellows and others of Troy, N. Y, against
e. B. Hay, assignee of William Douglass,

They ask that Mr.. Hay discover to the

SOLID As A ROCK.

Among the brood of rumors that are
born in times of business stress are sure
always to be some that are criminal,
as well as foolish. To this description
belongs the report, originating from
some obscure source and spread abroad
by apprehension and gossip that the
firm of Schuneman & Evans, of this
city, was in financial difficulty AS ap-
pears by announcements made else
where, there is not the slightest par
ticle of foundation or reason for this
charge The firm is one of the solid
business institutions of ST. Paul. It
has not been touched in any particular
by any of the recent financial misfor-
tunes of banking and other concerns.
1t has grown steadily and safely from
small beginnings to it's present fnpor-
lance, and can today command the
credit and support of capitalists. 1t is
fortunate enough, however, not to need
them. 1t stands firmly upon its own
foundation, and is not in any kind Of
difficulty, but, on the contrary, is do
ing an increasing and profitable bust
ness.
While firm so circumstance can
not be really injured by the gossip of
the streets, it is it's due to be- set
right before the public which has heard
more or less of this base1ess fabrica-
ton. 1t gives us great pleasure to per-
form this act Of justice, and to say
that, while all Of our large business
institutions are today in fiourfshing
condition, there is none that seems to
be more amply able to take care of
itself, and more entirely beyond the
! reach of business misfortune than the
firm in question.

What Do These Things Meant

To the Editor of the Globe
Indsmuch as you were Instrumental through
your paper in carrying Minnesota for sound
money, and, whereas we were promised
OF industry would fly; that money would be
plenty; that several large business houses
would enlarge their business; that travelling
men would fill orders for many thousands Of
dollars; that traffic would increase; money
would now easily; commercial distress would
an era of prosperity; and whereas Mai
mckinley and sound money congress have
Deen elected and are sufficiently strong enough
10 carry any measure they may desire and
insure the country that national honor and
integrity will be preserved" and whereas
banks have been tumbling down, savings and
loan associations falling coal combines going
into the hands of receivers, men being dis
charged, allowed to work only half-time
strikes occurring ever since the results of
election were known. We ask in all serf-
BUSINESS: What do these things mean? We
believe we are entitled to an answer. Elec-
ton hardly over and one of ST. Paurs larg-
est banks goes to the wall. Did lack Of ''con-
f1dence" do 1t? The people of North ST. Paul
South st. Paul and the country around do not
believe so. They have learned that 'eon-
fidenee" does not feed hungry babes, suffer
ing mothers, nor run bank. We were told
that there Is plenty Of money. Where Is it L?
The bank examiners report is an interesting
document to study on this question. It shows
conclusively that there are but few banks
in Minnesota that cannot be closed almost
any day by few of the depositors calling for
their money. Again, we see that the clear
ing houses are compelled to issue clearing
house certificates in order to carry on busi-
ness.
The only success. that. seems to have fol-
lowed election is the pardoning out of Grim
mas r. ]. Faussett.

A GOOD SUGGESTION

The resolution passed yesterday by
the County Auditors association ap-
pears to us one that should be COM
mended by the public and adopted by
the legislature. These officials in the
several counties find themselves greatly
perplexed, not only by different meth
OBS Of doing business, but by lack of
uniformity and simplicity in the tax
laws Of the state This is natural re-
suit of their having been passed sep
arately, at intervals long distant from
one another, without any effort at sys-
tematization or harmony. 1t is now
asked that the legislature provide for
temporary commission to revise and
codify the tax laws, to sit for a month
during the legislative session and to
report the result of it's Iabors not later
than Feb. 10. There may be some aues-
ton whether a work so complicated and
requiring such care and accuracy
could be accomplished in the short
space Of three weeks. But that the
laws should be gone over, and that
there should be a uniform system of
Valuing property and Of financing
seems to be beyond dispute The sug-
gest1on is worthy of the serious con-
sideration of the legislature: and we
are particularly glad to have it's atten-
ton called early to a duty that lies
in the line of business rather than pol
itics. -

GENERAL SESSION.
1t Held Another Meeting at Plym-
outh Church.

The proceedings of the Minnesota
Educational association, general SEES
sion. continued at the Plymouth
church.
It was decided to send return tele-
grams of thanks, also informing the
Wisconsin association that Minnesota
would attend the convention at Mil
waukee next July 1000 strong. Greet
ing was also sent to the educational
brothers in the South.
A stir was made by the report Of a
committee appointed year ago to pre-
sent a new plan for the election of Off
GERS The report, read by w. a.
Shoemaker, of st. Cloud, recommend
ed among other things, that the Off
GERS be nominated and elected by a
vote of the entire association.
vigorous protest followed, it being
plainly the sense Of the meeting that
no deviation be made from the present
order Of things.
Finally motion to lay on the table
was proposed and carried with rush.
Another amendment proposed was
that the annual dues be placed at one
dollar for men and fifty cents for
ladies. This gave Miss Ella Patterson.
Of Minneapolis, an opportunity to
sieze the floor, and she retained it until
warned by the chair that time was
precious. Miss Patterson thought that
the ladies were being discrimina ted
against. If the men could pay dol
lar, surely the ladies could. She OBJ
jected to the distinction, and in this
she was sure she voiced the sentiments
Of the entire female teaching force.
The amendments as proposed were
finally referred to a committee who
will report later.
The association named Messrs. Lord,
of MooThead, Ford. of Owa tonna, and
Kennedy, of Fairmont. a nominating
committee.
