PAN-HANDLER APPEARS
IN The KOCH CASE
Special to The Journal,

New Ulm, June ga mild attempt
at extortion in connection with the trial
of DR.. Koch comes to light. A man
claiming to be a resident of Mankato
came here yesterday and after locating
the residences of those whom he wished
to see, spent the. evening in getting ac-
quainted with his men. Today he ap-
preached A. P. Brooks, chief witness
for the defense, with story that he
had some important information to give
him. Asked as to his character, he said
it related to the coming trial, and init
mated that he had overheard the attor-
neys for the state planning to cause the
arrest of Mr.. Brooks. e .,'. y
He then stated that he was a cripple
and that he was trying to raise enough
money to buy himself wagon and horse
SO that he coulti go thru the country
collecting rags and iron, and would like
quarter to get meal with. The man
went to the office Of Henry n Somsen
with the same story, and from there to
the office of DR.. Koch, but at both
places he was turned down. He claims
to have been in the office of the county
attorney of Blue Earth county and to
have overheard Mr.. Childs and Mr.. Will
son planning to have Mr.. Brooks in

telling what he knows. More than this

that the corn acreage has been cut down
by the heavy rains during May. The

The reports of railroad traffic man

was washed out by the rains, but the
work of preparing the ground, plant

planting, but about 80 per cent Of the
seed is not yet in the ground. The
acreage will be larger than last year.
On high ground the stand is good and
plants are thriving, but on the lowlands
the condition of the corn varies from
fair to very bad.
Wheat on bottom lands has suffered

MEAT NOT INDISPENSABLE
TO PROPER DIETING.
Man, as His Teeth Show, is an
Cmniverous Animal OF Amazing
AdaptabiIity.

The vegetarian has done us a service
in exploding the superstition that meat
is an indispensable item in q complete
diet. His experience and that of vari-
Gus peoples, such as the japanese, has
indeed taught The teachable that the
indispensable article of diet does not
exist. In this. country we are apt to
think Of milk as Indispensable; yet the
Japanese have not used it possessing
very few cows, or, indeed, domestic
animals of any kind, and only now is
the Japanese soldier being compelled
to drink milk and eat much meat-:or
neither of which, we are told, has he
any liking.
Indeed, the great lesson WHICH all
must learn who do not wish to become
faddy about their food is that man, as
his dentition shows, is an onnivorous
animal of amazing adaptability. When
hard put to it he can make living out
of almost anything; and after q time
he can even begin to convince himself
that he is better off as he is. This is
the reason why all these mutually con-
Trajectory food faddists can co-exist.

universally.

DO STRAWBERRIES PAY?

Strawberries to weigh an ounce
each, sixteen to the pound, is the re.
suit of recent "high art' in strawberry
growing.
They are commercially planted in
early spring or late summer, only new
plants, those less than one year old,
should be used. Distance between
plants varies, but rows four feet apart,
with distance of twelve to fifteen
inches between the plants, requiring
S712 plants per acre, may be taken as
fair average. What seems to be
needed is better cultivation, better fer.
tilization. Use the horse cultivator
more, and the hand hoe less, and you
will reduce the cost of production.
OF the two systens of cultivation,
hill and matted row, it is unquesuon-
ably the fact that the former produce
the largest and best fruit.
Many growers tell me that the prices
for strawberries the past season Tere
very satisfactory. They are planting
more strawberries to buy moro land,
and are buying more land to plant
! more strawberries. Their strong point
is the lateness of their fruit, and their
great inquiry is for the latest variety.
l believe that strawberry culture in
the hands of good men could be made
to pay better than cows. l believe
the very closest man in the world is
the one who says he can't srcnd any
| more money for strawberry plants,
thus preventing his family from enjoy
| ing one of the most delicious fruits
God, in His goodness, has given US
The question is often asked me what
are the best varieties of strawberries
to grow This is difficult to answer,
| as the soil and climate and distance to
market vary so much. What kinds re-
turn good profits to me may not sue
ceed so well with you; but the all

script copy Is lost, and l cannot find
who made this change. This is in
point of fact not far from the Mar

the story Nolan is supposed TO have
been at those islands with Essex Por-
ter. But had nothing to do with this.
| placed the ship on the Andes with the
specific purpose which have named.
l should perhaps have never discov-
cred my own error but that many years
ago my friend James d. Hague, who
knows the bottom of the Pacific better
than / do the surface of tho United
States, called my attention to the i'll
structions which Captain Hunt had on
his last voyage in the Lcvant, / had
never looked for those instructions,
having no occasion to for my purpose,
1t seems that Mr.. Hague was in Homo
lulu dl llt lOlnt Nltli tht lJtNuiit
sailed; that Hunt was his friend, and
that they bade each other good-by on
the day of her parting. As the reader
knows, she was never again heard of
but from the silent record of the spar
which has been found on the island Of
Kaalualu. But Mr.. Hague has brought
together in his interesting paper the
evidence which shows that almost GER
tainly Hunt intended to sail on line
nearly east from the Hawaiian Islands.
In that region on any of the more re-
cent aliases there is n spot of blue
water. On the most recent at
las of the world | find not q speck
for thirty degrees of north latitude
from the equator. On the old Spanish
charts, however, and on charts copied
from them, Mr.. Hague and the officers
of marine photography have found in
dications of reefs and even islands.
One of the latest of them is De Graves
Island of 1850. Almost anywhere in
| this area, itself larger than some of
| the smaller plants of the solar system,
the bones of the Levant may lie. In
this region five degrees of longitude
and two of latitude have now been
searched in vain.
Mr.. Hague, however, is kind enough
to assure me that if ny fictitious char
acter, Philip Nolan, ever had some sub
limical form, he or his spirit, If they
were on the Levant, may still haunt the
reef or atoll under the shadow of CO.
coanuts or bananas or breadfruit trees.
Nolan would have been twenty five
years old in the year 1905. Thus his
125th birthday would be found in this
year. If the climate is healthy for
sublimical people, DR.. Hague assures
me that if will land with him on that
reef may meet for the first time in
the flesh and blood the somewhat
bended form of my old hero. He will
forgive me that l placed him on the
] Andes, where men do not live so long
