TO TRAIN POLITICIANS
PRoHIBITIONIsTs ESTABLISH A
SCHOOL TO TEACH PARTIZANs
HOW TO PLAY POLITICAL GAME.

The leaders of the prohibition party
in Minneapolis do not intend to pin
their faith wholly on the righteousness
of their cause in the future. There
are in the party considerable number
of men well trained in the game of
politics, who realize that lack Of po-
litical training is where the party is
weakest.
A move is on foot to remedy this
condition by the establishment of a
training school for political workers
of the prohibition party. In this school
the sympathizers with the cause of pro-
hibition will be taught to discriminate
between religious meetings, which
sometimes furnish opportunities for the
expression of prohibition convictions
and which help to arouse convictions
that ultimately find expression in pro-
hibition votes, from the political move
ment. 1t is expected that the workers
trained in this school will even be able
to distinguish between temperance
work and meetings and strictly prohi-
bition interests.
The training school will begin it's
labors Jan. % at the Y. NJ. c.. A. build
ing, and it's purpose is to teach prohi-
bitionists how to do effective political
work by utilizing all legitimate politi-
cal methods. George W. Higgins will
be at the head Of the faculty, and
among the others already chosen are
w. G. Calderwood and j. D. Engle
The faculty will be completed and the
work more definitely laid out on the
return of Mr.. Calderwood from Chi
cago, where he has gone to attend the
meeting Of the national executive com
mittee of the prohibitionists on Friday

LITTLE BLUE BOX
IN MURDER TRIAL
IT MAY BE STRONG EVIDENCE
AGAINST DIR: KOCH.
Minneapolis Firm Sent Two Boxes to
DR.. Gerhard and Man Now Accused Of
Numbering Him - Responsibility for
Attempt to Poison Gerhard May Be
Fixed on Koch.

Two little blue pasteboard boxes will
play an important part in the Koch muir
der case at New Ulm. One was mailed
by Parke, Davis & Co., Minneapolis, Oct.
II, to DR.. Gebhardt, the murdered
dentist, at New Ulm, and the other to
DR.. Koch, on trial for the murder.
Within a few days DR.. Gebhardt re-
ceived, by mail, under the guise of
headache powder samples, little blue
bottle Of strychnine inclosed in one
of these blue boxes, purporting to have
come from Hanska, Mimi.
Charles A. Robinson, local manager
Of Park, Davis & Co., has been sub
penaed in the case and is awaiting
orders to go to New Ulm. Fred H.
Tucker, all employee, who wrapped the
two boxes, left last night for New Ulm
with Miss Elizabeth Meskan, who
entered the order on the books. Both
had been summoned as witnesses for
the prosecution.
The two. boxes seemed destined as
links to connect DR.. Koch with the MUIR
der. The Minneapolis manufacturing
chemists are accustomed to promote
physicians and dentists. At the request
of travelling salesman samples were
sent to the two New Ulm dentists. 1t
was necessary to back order some Of the
goods. The back order was mailed
Oct. II. Both packages were in little
! blue boxes with outside wrappers.
The prosecution has learned from the
Haywood Manufacturing company that
it makes these peculiar blue sample
boxes for Parks, Davis & Co, only. It
transpires also from inquiry among the
clerks that while sample boxes had
been mailed to physicians at New Ulm
| / Id h
labels being attached to the pasteboard
boxes. In the case Of the two dentists
the boxes were inclosed in outside wrap
pers which left them undefaced. II
was in one of these boxes that the
poison is said to have been mailed to DR.
Gebhardt.
One link in this particular chain Of
evidence is the reported fact. thai
DR.. Stricken, an office mate Of DIR
Koch, found strychnine missing from
the reserve stock bottle in his labora
tOrV.

DOUBT WINCHEIL'S THEORY
Academy Of Science Discusses the Arte-
sian Water Supply.

At the annual meeting Of the Mime
sofa Academy of SCIENCE last evening
in the Public Library building, DR.. A. H.
Elftman read an interesting paper upon
m1Some Geological Problems Of the Black
Hills of South Dakota,' and presented
for inspection large and interesting
collection of rare. meteorological speci-
mems from the mines which are under
his care in that locality.
The question Of possible artesian
water supply for Minneapolis was
brought up by Professor N. H. Winchell,
and q short discussion was entered upon.
The consensus of the meeting was, how
eyer, decidedly. unfavorable to Professor
Winchell' IS project, the members present
seeming to regard it as wholly imprac-
ticable for a constant supply for the
city. =
The ordinary business of the academy
followed and the following officers were
elected: President, G: W. Hall; vice
president, DR.. A. H. Elftman; record
ing secretary, Harlow Gale; correspond
ing secretary, O. A. Oestlund; treasurer,
p. G. Gale; trustees, H. T. Eddy and

O., Sept. Z, - Captain
w Taggart was again on the witness
stand in the Taggart divorce case
today and created a sensation, when he
accused ex-Judge Smyzer, counsel for
Mrs. Taggart. of using his position as
member of congress to obtain an
order from the war department that
he (TaggarD be tried by court martial.
Captain Taggart lost his temper and
aid to Mr.. Smyzer:
Your position in the matter was that
of d scandalous vinifier. The letter you
wrote to the war department was vie
and mean. 1t contained misrepressnta-
tons. Your attack was cOwardly and
made under cover of your position"
Mr.. SmyZeT had letter that he had
written to the war department which
Captain Taggart pronounced worse
