According to the Star the men
who elected the county, State and
National tickets in this county
were ,Hardman, Pyle and Kit
Moore. The largest increased Re-
publican majority that was rolled
up at the late election was in Lin
coin district, and as neither of
these distinguished gentleman
spoke here or worked here we are
inclined to think they had moth
ing to do with the matter AS
it was the whole fight was made
in this county against two men,
the Sheriff and Governor. The
former is elected, but ran S35 be-
hind his ticket, and the latter is
behind his party vote over 500. If
there is anything to crow over in
these two candidates votes all
we'll and goods but we think the
other fellows are entitled to do

Abuse of the
Noble Horse

Frequent mention has been
made through these columns Of
cases of cruelty to horses in this
city, and in some instances the
charge has been made directly
against drivers guilty of this Of
tense. Yet the cruelty continues,
and not a day passes but there
are instances Of it seen on the
streets. Only this morning a
horse whose frame showed that it
was not well provided for and
that it's days of usefulness were
about over, was driven along
Wells street. The animal was
lame, but the driver stood ia the
wagon and applied a whip to the
TANKS Of that horse. This is only
one of numerous cases Of that
kind. Again horses are allowed
to stand hitched on the streets for
an hour or more, without blankets.
while the cold air has full sweep
on the poor brutes. 1t is at this
season that more than usual care
should be taken with horses. 1t is
pretty we'll settled that the humane
society of West Virginia has ig-
nored Sistersville in the way of
having an active agent here to see
that the provisions of that society
are carried out. Or if such agent
is here he is sadly neglecting his
duties 1t is not the province of
a newspaper to look after such
matters, but through its columns
attention to cruelty cases can be
called, and if the headquarters
people doubt the charges which
have been made, quiet investlga-
ton by representative would
dispel all doubt. Along other
lines such a representative might
find something for his society to
attend to.

y Some writers in the Star this
wee are. making some very I'M
kind and uncalled for remarks
about DR.. Reppard in his Sunday
school work. Whatever else may
be said, it is a matter OF history
that the Doctor has been a very
active Sunday-school worker, and
he was engaged in this work long
before he ran for an office, there
fore the insinuations made about
his work is unkind, very much
out of place, and is a matter that
in our humble judgment no gen.
tleman would speak of slightingly
and slurringly. DR.. Reppard had
a perfect right to run for Sheriff;
he made an honest fight, has been
defeated, and is taking his defeat
like gentleman. Some very I'M
called for and ungentlemanly re-
marks have also been published
in the Star about Mr.. Smith, the
candidate for Commissioner OF the
County court. These gentlemen
have many friends who will not
very soon forget these unkind re-
marks. DR.. Reppard never at
any time used his Sunday-school
work in connection with politics
and the man who intimates he did
is a malicious falsifier.

A Japanese Sacrifice of Patriotism.

An extraordinary revelation of the
extremes to which the Japanese go
For Love of Country" is made in a
true story by John Dwight in the j anu
airy McClure's. So wildly is the
reader carried behind the Oriental
scene and imbued with the Oriental
viewpoint, that few could apply the
word ''crime" to Tokichi's sacrifice
of his own flesh and blood on the altar
of patriotism. A heart-rending little
tale, this, and real help to those who
wish to understand the japanese ideals,
so different from our own.
An EDITORS note informs us that the
author. through twenty-five years
residence in Japan, has gained an I'M
usual knowledge of native life; and
that the actual hero of the story is now
serving in the army.

TURNER CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES
Children Of the Turner Sunday School Arc
Given Annual Treat.

One of the best of the Christmas ex-
ercises of this city took place at Turn
er hall Monday. TWAS the occasion
of the celebration of the Christmas
festival as conducted by the TURNER
Elm. The celebration differs from
that in the churches in that the society
makes it a time of the utmost pleasure
and gives the children the freedom of
older people are at liberty to enjoy
themselves.
Monday night the stage of the thea
ter was spanned by an immense ever
green arch containing many small
Christmas trees lighted with minia-
ture colored electric lights and when
with his reindeer and cutter was the
center figure in the arch. He disap-
Deared and an excellent program was
rendered by the various classes of the
society, including recitations and
songs and number of tableau1 il
Illustrating old German legends and
then at the temperance of Santa
Claus the smaller children were given
presents, the floor was cleared and
she little folks were allowed to dance
for an hour or two before they were
sent home.
The evening was one of unalloyed
pleasure and the hall was filled full
by people who were interested in
watching the youngsters have a good
sime. The older people occupied the
floor until a late hour.

more men were on the stand before the
adjournment Of court, but none were
found who suited both sides.
The state seems to have been harder
to please in the matter Of jurors than
the defense, for the latter passed a
number Of men without challenge.
Mr.. Childs seems to be very particu-
lar, and was forced to used four of
his pre-emptories in getting rid of
men he did not want.
It is the policy of the defense to pick
men who are intelligent and capable
OF reasoning on the. evidence, rather
than men who have heard nothing of
the affair: or read any of the sensa-
tIonal stories in the papers.
Court was adjourned at 6 O'Clock
until this afternoon to give the coroner
time to secure the special venire of
100 men, but on account of the raging
storm last night, it is possible that
the venire cannot be gotten together
today and in that case court will not
convene this afternoon.

IF KOCH is GUILTY THEN TWO
MENARE GUILTY, !" SAYS BAXTER

I do not believe that DR.. Koch is
guilty Of the murder, but if he is gull
ty, then he had an accomp,ice and
two men and not one have the blood
OF DR.. Gebhardt on their heads.''
This is the startling statement coming
from William Baxter, a Minneapolis
detective who has been busy on the
murder mystery since a few days after
the crime was committed.
Mr.. Baxter has had one man and at
times three men in New Ulm for up
wards of seven weeks and they have
unearthed an amount of evidence
pointing to a man not heretofore sus-
pected that will create a sensation.
says the detective, when it is made
public, equal to any that have been
sprung yet.
F Who this man under suspicion is he
WI not say, but he says that he was
resident of New Ulm at the time of
the murder and has since left the CITY.
Furthermore he answers the descrip-
ton of the man seen through the tran
som by Mr.. Brooks.
HAS TRACED BOTTLE OF POISON.
No suspicion of anyone, Mr.. Bax-
ter declared to the Review reporter,
who cannot be connected in some way
with the bottle of poison sent to DR..
Gebhardt shortly before his violent
death will hold.
III is fact that the poison was sent
and it is probable that the man who
sent it is the man who committed the
murder, says the sleuth, and the first
thing to do in connecting a man with
the crime is to trace the poison to him.
i This Mr.. Baxter claims to have
done; traced the bottle to his suspect.
The handwriting and the typewriting
on the package have furnished the
clues, and he has followed them down
and now believes he can name the
hand that wrote the word Sample
and can locate the typewriter with
which the name of the murdered man
and his address was written.
| A motive far stronger than any
which may be found or claimed to be
found IN the case of DR.. Koch, Mr..
Baxter says he has discovered in the
case of his suspect. Tt involves a
woman; one whom both the murderer
and the murdered had thought much
OF and over whom they had at one
time nearly come to blows.
GIVES EVIDENCE TO CHILDs.
! The Minneapolis detective has not
given his findings into the hands of
the prosecution up to the present time
/ because there has been a universal
suspicion against DR.. Koch and he
felt that his evidence would not meet
with the attention which it deserved.
but now that Koch is on trial for his
life he feels it his duty to come forward
and lay what he has found out before
the prosecution. II he wishes to use
it Mr.. Childs is at liberty to do so,
and If he does not wish to do so Mr..
Baxter intends to give everything into
the hands of the defense and let them
make the most of in clearing the man
y on trial.
| you must understand me- said
the detective, s. am not hired by the
defense or anybody. came down
here originally for the $1,000 reward
and that is what I have been working
for all along and that is what am
working for now

TRIAL OF GAMBLERS
TO APPEAR BEFORE RECORDER
 THIS AFTERNOON.
Robert Alexander, Proprietor of the Merchants Hotel, and His Men Will Be Prosecuted for Keep
 ing Illegal Place.

Robert Alexander and eight men ar rested by the police Sunday night in a raid nthe gambling roops of the Merchants Hotel are to be tried this afternoon in the Recorders Court.
 Alexander Is to be tried under sec tion 4s0i of the State code which pro- hibits the keeping of a gaming table. Four of the other eight men are to be tried for keeping gaming tables and four are to be tried for gaming.
 It Is probable that Alexander and the attaches of the place will appeal their case if the Recorder fines them. They have already secured appeal bond blanks and will lose no time In making g them.
 As the police saw no actual gambling as they entsrad the place and ohly secured the gaming tools. they may not make out conviction against the patrons of the house who were arres- ted in the raid City Attorney Ray Rushton has been at work collecting evidence and the testimony promises to be interesting.
 All of the men arrested are on bonds of $500 each and have employed coun- sol to defend them against the char ges.
 City Attorney Rushton will conduct the prosecution of the cases.
 The arrest of the men charged with gaming has excited widespread interest in Montgomery and the court room will probably bs packed to Its limit with interested spectators.
 There were no developments yester- day in the cases.

GROVER BROWN IN PRISON. YOunr Man Fefgned Insanity Whe
 Arrested.


 Grover Brown, a young white man of Montgomery. with an unsavory rep utation and police record, was ar- rested at 2:l5 o'clock yesterday after noon by Mounted Patrolmen Bowling and LaPrade on suspicion. . Brown was on South Decatur Street in Boguehomme with stock Of ''phony'' jewelry which he was att tempting to dispose of to ignorant per sons at an enormous profit considering their cost. He had twelve supposedly gold rings in his pockets when ar rested and had no license to pcddle goods of any description.
 He was locked in cell at the city prison, and Special Officers Payne and Graham are now at work on the case to get all the evidence necessary for a conviction. It Is probable that a speci- fic charge will be made against him to- day.
 Brown was arrested in Birmingham about a year ago on some business of a shady nature and was placed In Ja,i under a severe sentence. Shortly af- ter his incarceration, however, he be- gan to eat insects and butt his head against the sides of the cell so the prison authorities released him on a plea of insanity.
 Yesterday when Brown saw the po- lice coming towards him, he showed sense and broke away in good run but the men on horses caught him at- ter chase. Then Brown suddenly be- came crazy and raved like a maniac This did not have the desired effect on the hard hearts of the officers. and they carried him to the lookup.
 Te boy does not work anywhere and the police are constantly on the look- out for him in minor offenses.
 Brown Is also suspected of having offered insults to ladies iD various sec tions of the city and a close investiga- tion will be made of his conduct during the last few weeks.
