reached New Ulm at noon today and he
will at once engage the best legal tai
ent obtainable to assist in running to
earth the murderer.
The massmeeting last night has had
the effect of stirring up the officials,
and they are becoming more active in
their search for the criminal.
Dr. koch's friends and family are
much incensed over the connecting of
his name with the case and his par
ents issued warning this morning that
they would prosecute any one who cir
culates false stories about him. Much
bad feeling has been stirred up by the
advice given by Sheriff Mcmillan of
Nicollet county to the Brown county at
torney to take him into custody. This
advice was resented, in view of the COM
plete exoneratiOn of DIR. Koch not only
by his alibi, but by the testimony of
Asa p. Brooks, the only man who is
known to have seen the murderer.
The finding of the new lead pencil in
the office of DR.. Gerhard Immediately
after the murder has caused no little
comment. 1t is claimed that three
pencils were given away that day by a
lumber concern, and among others who
received one was DIR. Koch. 1t is bare
ly possible, however, that such a pen
ell might have gotten into the hands of
DR.. Gerhard during the day. The pen
ell was not sharpened. In an effort to
link up DR.. Koch with the affair is
the claim that during the first
of the week he wore pair of new shoes.
Now he is wearing old shoes. But all
this is explained, so it is said by those
who are carrying on the investigation.
1t is fact that Dr. Koch wore the
same suit of clothes on the day follow
ing the tragedy that he had on the day
before its occurrance.
The tragedy has been the means of
dragging the family skeleton from one
closet at least. The story is told of
a young brakeman and his wife
who have not always lived happily to-
gether The wife has been a visitor at
the office of Dr. Gerhard, receiving treat
ment for her teeth. 1t is known that
the husband has exhibited some jealousy
over his wife's previous conduct, but it
is not believed that he has been jealous
of the doctor. 1t is related that the wife
was attending party one evening, and
was escorted home by friend, a young
man who had been there. This so en-
ragged the husband that he took shot
at the escort. Luckily, it did no harm.
The wife as a result returned to the
home of her father, and the pair lived
apart for some time. Eventually, how
ever, they made it up" and seem to
have lived happily together. The police
searched the brakeman's house, hoping
to find something in the shape of clew.
They located an alibi. Editor Brooks ac-
companied the police to the brakeman's
house. The brakeman and his wife were
at home and in bed before ten o'clock on
the night of the murder.
The finding of piece of paper in
the corner of DIR. Gebhard's office, on
which was written George, $780," has
created some talk, and the detectives
are making an effort to find out what
this means. When found the paper was
crumpled, as if it had been thrown
away.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that Is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed CON
dition Of the mucous lining Of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumhling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed. Deafness is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed for
ever, nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Cstsrrh. which is nothing by an infam-
ed condition OF the mucous services.

Measures for Safeguarding Life To Be
Strictly Enforced. =.

Strictly Enforced. :.
Chicago, Jan. 4.-Notice served by
Mayor Harrison of possible whole
sale closing not merely of theaters
but Of churches, stores, office buildings
factories, hotels and private resi-
dences, has aroused the city
Before the mayor proceeds to ex
-tremes the city council will be given
a chance to revise the laws and strike
out the provisions which are held I'd
be unjust to property owners and not
essential to safety If the authorities
are not to act, then the laws are not
enforced. If the ordinance stands
at present strict enforcement, it ia
said, would paralyze the business
professional and industrial, of the city
For that reason Mayor Harrison will
give the council the opportunity to
act. The immediate effects of the
mayors declaration will be revision
of the laws. One provision is that
of inclosing the elevators, and if en-
forced now would, close nearly every
office building, store and hotel in
the city, is in the hands of the city
council judiciary committee and has
been partly amended and is now
practically before the council for final
adoption by the aldermen.
This amendment will make it unnec
essary for ireproof buildings to have
inclosed elevator shafts which are
considered as offering no greater safe
ty and would impose unnecessary
hardships on the passengers. Then
the council may find it advisable to
repeal the ordinances providing for
fire escapes on private residences OF
four or more stories in height
Churches are mentioned as fragrant
offenders against the building laws
They are accused Of over-crowding, OF
placing chairs in the aisles, of having
infammable material on the platforms
and especially at such celebrations as
Christmas and of not having the prop
er number of exits In some cases.
Whatever action may be taken by
the aldermen, one thing seems sure
there is to be reinforcement Of OF
dinances in Chicago, such as an easy
going city has not known for many
years.
