The sensational story of the confes-
sion and suicide of Charles Herzig is a
fake, declares The St Paul Daily News.
The lengthy yarn sent out from
Minot, \. d., of an alleged suicide OF
the confessed murderer of Lizzie Glom-
bacher, near Youngstown, O., thirty
years ago are false.
The stories which have victimized all
but two of the twin city papers are the
invention of a clever ''faker"
That the suicide is hoax is substan-
tiated by the kilograms received to-
day by The Daily News, while state
ment by the brother fthe murdered
girl punctures the alleged confession"
of Herzig.
The telegram is as follows:
Youngstown, o., Sept. IA am
convinced that the alleged confession of
Charles Herzig in North Dakota is not
true. The green veil which he is said to
have always carried with him and with
which my sister was strangled is in
my family's possession now.
-"WILLIAM GROMBACHER,
"Brother of the Murdered Girl.
The latest story sent out from Minot
is that Herzig's body has been found
in wild ravine. He had hanged him
self with a halter and had also wound
green veil tightly around his neck.
This is the veil with which he had
stranged the girl and with which he
had determined to end his own life. The
writer was careful to state that the
place is wilderness and that the body
would be buried where found, by order
of Gov Searles.
A fiction story at one time appeared
in magazine from which the author
of the sensational Minot yarn may have
had his idea Both stories are based on
Ohio. The stories are practically the
same, except, of course, in regard to
names. The magazine story tells of the
murder of girl, the hanging of an in
nocent man, the remorse of the real
murderer. his final confession and suicide
by stranging himself with the veil he
had strangled his girl victim with.
Work of a Joker.
Youngstown, Ohio, Sept. l4.-There
is little doubt that the alleged confes-
sion of Charles Herzig at Minot, n. d.,
is fake The man who is alleged to
have died and really did die is Arthur
Young, wanderer He left note on
his BODY when he committed suicide
saying his name was Young, and that
he formerly lived in Oregon City, Or.
This was printed in the Minot Optic
on the same day that the story was
set out from that city.
A copy of the paper was received
here today containing the story of the
suicide, but making no mention of the
alleged confession. The fact that the
story was sent out from Minot and
that Charles Grow was in that city is
fairly good evidence of the source of
the story which the newspaper men
made use of.
Grow is considerable of Joker and
probably told the newspaper men of
the murder. He sent the paper to a
friend in this city.

FINDING OF THE COURT.

CHIEF JUSTICE GABBERT-The
judgment of the court is that the re-
spondent, Senator Patterson, be fined
in the sum of one thousand dollars
and costs and that he stands com
mitted to the common jail in the city
and county of Denver until such fine
and costs are paid.
Such was the judgment as spoken
by Chief Justice Gabbert near the
close of yesterdays proceedings in
the contempt case against Senator
Patterson.
There were two sessions of the
court, one in the morning and the
other in the afternoon. That of the
morning was short-the chief justice
declining to announce the opinion
of the court on he'attorney generals
motion for Judgment on the plead
ings because of Senator Patterson S
absence
The one in the afternoon had rela-
tion solely to the final judgment of
the court and Senator Patterson s
speech, telling the court why he
should not be punished for contempt.
Not in the history of American
jurisprudence have been recorded

PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY.

Let us eat, drink and be merry, for
tomorrow we may not have the op-
portunity.
Let us be honest, at least to our
selves. most difficult task
Let us be moral. but not to such an
extent that we will stand alone, as
1t is an irksome position.
Let us be courteous, especially to
our families, which is unusual
Let us be kind, 1t is the easiest.
Let us be generous, because we will
be benefited the most.
Let us be prompt, because it saves
time, and that is all that we have.
Let us be humane. because we pose
as human beings. and although we
may not be properly labeled. We wish
others to think so.
Finally, remember that life is a
comedy even at its best. and an awful
tragedy at its worst, therefore do
your stunt cheerfully. applaud the
efforts of others heartily, patronfze
the flower boys literally and never
leave the stage until the curtain has
been rung down for the last time.

BIG NEW STORE OPENS.

The Fair threw open the doors In
its big new building at one o'clock
today for the transaction of business.
The splendid interior of the store
presented a most inviting appear
ance to the trade and the owners
of the store were receiving congratu-
lations on every side on its appear
ance.
The store comes more nearly fill-
ing the ideal of a strictly up-to-date
department store than any store on
the western slope of Colorado. The
interior finish and the appliances for
the quick serving of the large trade
of this store is as modern as money
can make them. Everything has a
place and everything is in its place
in this big emporium and the public
as well as the owners are proud in
possessing such representative
store.
Fifteen years ago The Fair began
to do business in this city. A stock
of goods most Insignificant in size,
compared with the big stock now car
ried, was on hand for sale and the
receipts of the store for month were
not probably what they are at the
present time for one day. But the
same underlying principles that have
brought success to the store then,
have been maintained throughout the
career of the store and it is that
which has brought success,
Messrs. Meyer and Craven, the
owners of The Fair store may we'll
be proud of what has been achieved
by their business and the public are
equally proud that the city contains
such a fine establishment.

such incidents as transplred yesterday
afternoon in the court room of the
state supreme court.
A United States senator was on
trial before seven justices against
whose dignity as Court 1t was charg-
ed he had inveighed. For two hours
the scenes shifted, like a Kaleidoscope
and during one of these hours the
crowded assemblage sat waiting i'm
PATIENTLY the approach of the court.
For the other hour the chief char
acter in the remarkable series of
events which had led up to the cru
cial moment stood with dignity and
composure the bar to which he had
been summoned, and with eloquence
earnestness. and with a straightfor-
ward sincerity, told why he believed
he was not in contempt of that tri-
bunal and asked that a precedent be
not established, the tendency of which
would be to place under un-American
tyranny the freedom of the press of
Colorado.

Danger of Hypnotism.
From the Medical Record.

From the Medical Record
Even with the best understanding of the
subject now possible, there is danger in
originating anything that puts hypnotized
person under his own control-in other
words. that originates automatism So long
as the subject is under the control Of the
hypnotizer absolutely there Is not so much
danger. but let him go out under his own
control and he runs without a balance
wheel. In this way auto-suggestion. which
fortunately is more difficult and exceptional,
may originate exceedingly unpleasant expe-
riences The writer has even come to the
sanity confined to institutions that, IL the
truth were known. are really Of this type.

Haunted Furniture.

Mr.. Andrew Lang, in County Gentleman
knew some people who kept in room of
their house certain boxes, or cases, of goods
Entrusted to them by friends in India. The
boxes began to make noises in the room, as
II they were being moved about. like the
furniture in haunted houses. Presently
came letter from the owners, saying that
they wanted the boxes. Must we not argue
that some mystic effiux from the brains of
the living agents in India caused the dis
turbance among the boxes in England? If
SO. then when the noises of old furniture
mysteriously displaced occur (as in Abbots-
ford on the night when Mr.. Bullock, who
supplied the furniture. died in London), NAV
we not guess that previous owners Of the
tables and chairs are thinking of these
goods?
