one be arrested at once. Arrest any
body and then solve the mystery after
ward, is the idea that prevails among
some people. Yesterday an officer from
a neighboring county insisted upon hav-
ing warrant for the arrest of DIR.
KOCH but the county attorney refused
to entertain the proposition. Yesterday
afternoon a couple of houses in New
Ulm were searched, the opinion having
prevailed that the red handed murderer
was concealed in one or the other.
That Bottle of Poison.
On Wednesday of last week DIR. Geb-
hard received through the mail a small
blue bottle which contained particles
much resembling sea salts. He was
advised by Dr. Reinecke, to whom he eX-
hibited the contents, not to partake of
them as they might be poison. DIR.
Gerhard dumped the greater share of the
particles in drawer of his work bench
in his laboratory, only few remain
ing in the bottle The bottle was pack
ed in small box with a rubber band
around it. This package was mailed
on a Minneapolis and st. Louis train and
stamped by a railway postal clerk,
whose route is designated Winthrop and
Storm Lake. Last night the detective
who has the case in charge, had talk
with the postal clerk who placed his
stamp on the package. The clerk re-
membered having handled the package,
but could not state at what station it
was received. 1t could have been mailed
on the car at New Ulm and returned
there after trip either up or down the
line The bottle was one which at one
time had contained "Hcd-eez." The
label was partially torn off and about
the only word discernible is "Bromo."
1t is the prevailing opinion that the
package of poison has direct connec-
ton with the murder of DIR. Gebhard
That the same hand that sent the pack
age, welded the hammer and knife that
ended the doctors life. The address on
the package was typewriter and on a
slip of paper which was pasted on the
box
When DIR. Gerhard received the pack
age he told his office girl, Miss Ida
Shapekahm, that some person not far
away had sent it to him, and he thought
it was poison. He stated that sit is
the way they poison people down east
They pretend to send you some kind
of medicine, as this, for instance, for
headache, and it seems that they want
to poison me-" The doctor did not APP
pear to be very much disturbed over
the receipt of the package, and his man
ner remained unchanged up to just be-
for he was murdered.
Mr.. Haegler's Visit.
Among the callers upon DIR. Gerhard
on the fatal evening was Mr.. Haegler, a
clerk in the law office of Albert Pfaen-
der Mr.. Haegler was in the dentists
office at 9:25 and remained few mo-
ments reading newspaper. The doctor
conversed with his visitor and appeared
TO he i'm q haDny frame of mind. In fact
he was feeling happier than usual, and
he was always in the best of spirits.
Mr.. Haegler was the last person to call
on the dentist prior to the appearance
of the man who evidently had a grudge
against DR.. Gerhard.
DR.. Gerhard was of bashful nature
and not what might be called lady's
man. His friends frequently chided him
because of his shyness in the presence

In the Right Room.

At the latest of the ladies' clubs a "pets' room." with little stalls for dogs and cats. iemurs and lizards, all the small creatures that lady finds neces- sary as companions, is provided.
 One of the most enthusiastic members was showing her friends of her OWE sex over the establishment, and opened the door of the pets room with proper pride.
 There, in the center of the room, on two chairs, sat two immediately clothed young men, grave of face, but with a wicked twinkle in. their eyes.
 Don't you know this is the ladies pets room?'" asked the enthusiastic member, with some acerbity.
 That's why we are here" replied the more serious of the two yeung men, with becoming gravity,-Spor ing Times.

EXTENDING BOUNDARIES.
Some of Our Larger Cities Have An. nexed Ground Far Into Adja-
 cent Farm Lands.

According to a recently Issued census bulletin, the real rank of cities is not al- ways indicated by the order in which they stand in the tables of population. Some great centers have a considerable part of their massed population lying outside the municipal boundaries. Bos.. ton is good example; about 1,20O. 900 people live in sight of the state house dome, and less than 500 900 of them are governed by the Boston mayor. Other cities have annexed far into the farm lands of the adjacent country, says Youths Companion.
 It is customary to speak of the popula- tion of a state, "in proportion to it's size" Such comparison is seldom made of cities, although it'might not be ulinteresting. Pittsburg, for example, has population of a third of million on 18,000 acres of ground; New York S population, little more than ten times as great, spreads over nearly 12 times as many acres.
 Chicago was long famous for it's an- nexation habit, but since 1890 New York has annexed much more territory than Chicago's total area. New Orleans has a slightly larger area than Chicago Each of them covers six times the area of Baltimore
 Washington, which occupies the Mary land part of the ten miles square set aside for a national capital, is a fair sized city as area goes, for this genera tion. It may seem small century hence although it looked abundantly ample for all the purposes of urban development when laid out.
 In the case of cities, as we'll as Of other corporations, consolidation is plainly one of the tendencies of the times. More than one-third of those in the United States have added to their territory by annexation since 1890 Townships and counties are occasionally subdivided by reason of local interests, but the cities seem to be steadily pushing their boun- daries outward. There are some eco- homie reasons for this but the reason in many cases has been the desire of their inhabitants to make "good show ing"

Hans AblehanSon, the wealthiest tramp in America, who several years ago lived at the Waldorf-Astori in New York, at the expense of westerR rail road magnate, as a result of wager that Hans could not walk from Tacoma to Panama in eight months, is to build home for aged tramps.

 Hans recently disclosed his intention to his friend, Peter Johnson, of Wor- cester, Mass. The other day Johnson was in New York, and. while talking about Hans project. said:
 "It sounds like the dream of a crazy man, but Hans declares that he will build the tramps' home with his money. He says that he will build his home somewhere in New England. I asked him why he didn't take his money and settle down and he said it is much mors fun to be . tramp.
 Ne said that the only thing he wanted to get out of his money is homo to live ia when he gets too old to catch freights. Q long as he had to build himself home. he declared that hs might as we'll build ono large enough for 16 or 90 of Ats friends. He told me that he know 6.o0e tramns on the road in the United Statss. Sone of these friends of his. he sx- paaane4, are getting old and sti6 aaA cannot tramp much longer
 He plans to put all of his uonVy in this home for his friends. After 1t is built, he argues that by . little work, such as broom making or mending chairs or something of that kind, the 25 tramps who reside within oan pay running ex- peases, When asked him how soon ha ls going to build this home he said that he Is looking for . suitable place. And that as soon as he finds one he will tske his money out of the bank aud build,"

MAKE ALBUM FOR THE POPE
Magnificent Volume to Be sent by Ch1Idren of New Orleans
 Parish to Plus x,

The exquisite album which is to be presented to his holiness, the pope. by the Children of Mary, of the Jesuit church, of New Orleans, has been finally completed and will be borne to ms holiness along with the magnifi- cent pontifical sandals, by MT. Kelly, on the occasion of the golden jubilee of the immaculate conception.
 Ihe album is a work of art and a thing Of beauty. It is bound in snow white antique silk, and the cor ners and clasps are of pure gold. Near the left-kand lower corner of the cover is the pope's crest, while across the upper part of the cover is the word Autographs in gold letters.
 The album contains 50 pages. On the right-hand side of each is some original poem, composed by members of the sodality, and written in either English Latin or Italian. These pages are exquisitely illuminated, aft CT the manner of the middle ages, and the decorations on no two are alike. On the opposite side of the pages there is nothing except some modest deco ration. All the work was done by hand by members of the sodality, ex- cept the chasing, which was done by Walter, the college jeweler.
 On the presentation page of the album are the words: ''To Our Most Holy Father Plus K, Children of Mary. Jesuits' Church, New Orleans. La, 1904" On the title page of the album are the words: Golden Ju- bilee of the Immaculate Conception, lS54-1904.' .''
 The album represented three months work.

MOST POPULAR NUMBERS.
Seven and Thirteen Are Fixed Upon in the Minds of the Greater Number of Men.

Ask man to pick out some num- Der between one and ten, and you car tell him nine times out of ten what number he has selected. though his S. lection is made mentally" said man who, according to the New Orleans Times-Democrat, is fond of the old things, 'and when you come to think of it, the task of naming the correct number is not difficult one. In the course of an hour the other day l asked ten men to think of a certain number-any number between one and ten-and I would tell them what num- Der they had fixed their mind on. In nine cases out of ten was correct, missing it only once. The minds Of nine of the persons selected the num- Der seven. and one of them selected nine. It Is not difficult to understand why the mind should run to the num- ber seven. Even in the case of the man who fixed his mind on the mum bsr nine. he told me when 1t WAS ell over that his mind had first run to seven. but he quickly changed to ninc without knowing just why it was that he changed. Seven is the most prom tnent figure between one and ton. It is the most popular number in the line. and is associated with moro things than any other number. and 1t is duits reasonable that the mind should lSht on seven. I made another tsst the other day with Ave persons. asking each of them to write some number between ono and ten, and give it to . sixth per- son. When the slips had been handed to the sixth man I said: Seven Is the number on each of tho slips
 "'Correct," said tho man to whom they had been handed, and tho i've men were bit bewildsr0d for the moment by the fact that they had all lait upon the same number. and that l was able to tell what the number was. It would be quite as easy to name a number between 10 and 20. though have made no tests along this line. I dare say that B would be the first number to flash in the mind, simply because it is the most talked of, and the only number between 10 and 20 that has the widest association. So you can tell there is no trick about it, and it doesn't require any knowledge of the occult philosophies."
