Sad Loss of Good WIN.

90 Saturday night last, just nine years
after us dedicat N. the fine Moody
school building was burned with all its
contents involving loss of $4o, 900
which is covered by an insurance of $23,
600, {I8 600 on the building and $1,000
on the contents.
Ii was being planned to hold New
Years celebration at the school and as
the celebration was TO be held 10 this
building it was well heated and every
thing was about ready for the evenings
entertainment VIXEN il was discovered
that the building was on fire. There is
no fire fighting apparatus At the farm and
all that could be done was 10 stand
around and Satch it burn The FIRE had
secured such a start before being discov-
cred that almost nothing could be saved
from the bu ldng and the fine sluc ure,
containing the school library of about
1000 volum 5, museum and natural his
tory room, viii be a total loss with all lis
contents.
Tn. Moody school building was the
9th of the Misses Mary ID. and Francis K.
Moody and was built as a memorial 10
their brother. Charles E. Moody of Bah,
Me. IL is a comparatively new building
edhce. as the corner stone was laid, July
4. 1905, the dedication following the
next January The cost of the erection
was $50. 900. aud the valuation after being
equipped for use. placed at $40, 900.
The building was built of bick, with
trimmings of freesione, the dimensions
beng 7oxIoo feet. 1t may safely be said
10 have been one of The most valuable
edhces o. It's kind in the State OF Maine
and VAS looked upon by the supporters of
Good Will institution with feeling OF
cousumate pride 1t contained four school
rooms, one hall and library, 10 which
we're shelved a collection OF 5000 volumes
and which also contained very valuable
collection OF natural history specimens.
On the walls we're hung costly portraits
Of the Misses Moody and Charles n.
Quincy, the donor OF the manual training
building. The cause OF the fire is unknown.
The loss will be heavy blow TO the
school and make its work much harder
for some time TO come at least.

Situation Serious.

Ion Perdicaris, the American who,
with his son.in-law, Cromwell Varley, a
British suit ect, WAS kidnapped and held
for ransom by Raisuli, the Moroccan
bandit, In MAY OF last year, in a signed
despatch to the London STANDARD says
1.-THE present situation in Morocco is
most serious. The Sultan's life is en-
dangered aud those who now direct
affairs in the Moorish court are liable at
any moment to go en- bloc to the iDsur-
gent leader, who claims the throne as
the elder brother of the present Sultan.
Mr. Perdicaris says the entire country
Is determined 10 resist exclusive control
by any one foreign power. Raisuli alone
he adds, can secure relative degree of
order in the district of Tangier; but,
owing to the opposition of his followers,
he cannot deal directly with France.
Perdicaris says he suggested to the
French government that they deal with
Raisuli through the foreign representa-
tives at Tangier. He insists that Raisuli,
thus supported, could maintain order.
He pays tribute to Raisull as "supe-
rior in many respects to any Of the off,
cials among his countrymen."

Maine Farmer: What disgrace to
the State is the wide-open door to di-
vorces. II makes one shud1er for the
future of the State TO read that more
than sixty were granted at the recent
session of the court in Cumberland
county. AT the same time to him who
studies the individual cases there seems
to have been just cause for judicial se-
ton. Reform, to be of any value, must
reach back of the divorce court and seek
10 remove the disrupting cause or causes
which send husband and wife apart. II
this is not done, the marriage ceremony
must be changed to read, What God
hath Joined together the courts may
easily rend asunder,"

VERSIONS house was the hammer that she
had seen in DIR. Koch's office, and she re-
piled that it was.
DR.. D. F. Wood, with whom DR.. Koch
officed at Hanska, was the next witness.
Chief Klause states that yesterday
afternoon, while discussing with sena-
tor Someryille his evidence regarding
the conversation with Ida Koch, the
senator called MIN a fabricator plain
words, "a liar'' The chief held his
temper, but neither he nor the attorneys
for the state are pleased with the In
cident. Mr.. Somerville and the other
attorneys for the defense were much
worked up over the testimony that had
been given by Mr.. Klause, and it was
while this mood was ON that the Incl
| dent occurred
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1905-05-03

"And Gen. Childs knew about it p
/ Eyes, SIR
"yNho did you tell the conversation
Itog,
ITO County Attorney Hoidale.''
ssDid yon tell anybody else?"
st presume i told Gen. Childs and Mr..
fPfaender.''
Witness said that he would not swear
which hand of Koch had the sores on
the knuckles. He admitted that he
had testified at the New Ulm trial that
| it was the left hand. He couldn't swear
which hand the scratch was on. He
admitted that at the New Ulm trial
he said he thought it was on the left
hand. He could not now swear that it
was. Was not asked how the pockets
of the oyercoat were, at the last trial.
Am pretty certain that the pockets were
crossWays and not up and down. Did
not see anybody pick up the pencil
and nand it around the evening of the
murder and then place it back on the
blood. Did not see it in anybody's hand
that evening.
On redirect, Mr.. Klause said that Dr..
Koch, at the New Ulm trial, testified
that his cravennette coat had been
stolen.
'sNow before that time had you enter
tanned any doubt as to the identity of
the coat you saw at the time you visit
ed the defendants Office %
The defense objected to this and the
court sustained the objection. On ex-
PLANTATION by Gen. Childs that it was
intended to explain the witnesses action
at the New Um trial, the court de-
cided to allow the question.

Witness said that the blood on the
wires was little to the right of the
opening in the screen. The key found
on the overturned screen in the operat-
ing room was Mr.. Zelle's. DR.. Gebhard
boarded at Mr.. Zelle's at the time of his
death. The letter "K" was covered with
blood when I saw the letters &C." and
"R". at first.

Your memory is not very good, is
it ~ asked the attorney.
On, it is pretty fair declared the
WITNESS confidently
After a while Mr.. Brown asked:
| You knew that a reward was offered,
didn't you?a
4 don't know what you mean"
| aThere was money offered, wasn't
| there?,'
4 have enough money of my own.
Well, there was reward offered,
wasn't there?''
I .tThe attorney wants to know whether
| you knew that money was offered for
Ianybody who would find the mnrderer?"
suggested the court.
'sNo money was offered to me-
did you know of reward being Of
Ifered?o
Il never heard of any. 2
didn't you ever hear of it until
now?"
ssNo, sir.''
"Do you understand me when / ask
questions ?"
Sometimes
''What do you talk wnen you are
home, Norwegian"
Norwegian mostly, and sometimes
English
Witness said that at the New Ulm
trial he did not testify about the con-
versation with Dr. Koch when he was
first on the stand. The defense was
endeavoring to draw out testimony that
morning to Mr.. Childs and that the
latter made an offer of it in court, but
that it was not admissible, and that
the same evening the witness made
another statement that was reduced to
writing and was accepted in court the
next morning, and that it was on the
second offer that the witness testified
about the conversation. The witness
claimed that Mr.. Childs did not get it
right when he wrote it down the first
time. This line of questioning took a
long time, as the witness did not under
stand the legal phrases very well.
Coming back to Dr.. Koch, witness
said tnat he had seen DIR. Koch but
three times that he knew OF. At the
time of the conversation at Hanska
there was nobody else in the ROOM
'sHow long did it take to pull your
teeth?''
| 81 don't know
efWas it minute or an hour?"

"Did you have the talk before or af-
ter he pulled the teeth?"
st don't remember, but I think it was
before
s.Now didn't the talk start when he
looked into your mouth and saw that
you had had other teeth pulled, and
wasn't it after he had pulled the teeth q
'sNo, it was before"
f. Witness could not say how long a
minute was, and Mr.. Brown drew out
Ibis watch and had him think for a min
ute. Mr.. Childs suggested that Mr.
Brown was not under oath and announc-
ling when the minute was up.

ed, and his taking the stand was ac-
companied by good deal of expectancy

Mr.. Brown asked that this be present

Mr.. Brown objected on the ground thai
it was incompetent, irrelevant and i'm
material, and on the ground that it il
no way tends to support the purpose fol
which it is offered, and that no found

objected separately to each statemen
