.Abolishing Old Ace.

Society has passed an unwritten Law
abolishing old age Unlike many writ.
ten laws, it is being enforced. Where
is the venerable grandmother who
used, in black dress and black cap, to
sit in the chimney corner knitting the
children's stockings? Arrayed in a
beautiful pea green silk gown and a
flowered hat, her gray hair done in a
naughty pompadour, she is out helping
receive at a fashionable function or at
tending the latest musical comedy at
the theater. Where is the lea nand
slippered pantaloon" who used TO
spend long days, ''spectacles on nose
and pouch on side" summing himself
on the front porch or hobbling about
the house and yard on cane? He is
down at the Office or store working en-
ergetically and ambitiously as he did
20 years ago, or out at the ball game
cheering as Justify as the most yocifer-
Gus small boy on the bleachers. We
have changed all this, says the Chica-
81 lIlDuut. n IldIl 10 lo" yOuu6 Until
he is 40 and middle-aged the rest of
his life. Spinsters don't become old
maids any more. They are girls until
35 when they become bachelor maids.
Married women are young until 40,
after which, like their husbands after
As, they enjoy parental middle age.
There may be persons scattered here
and there who regard themselves as
old and will submit to be banished, as
the aged of past generations were from
business. amusements and society, but
if there be any such their number is
small and they are all well past the
biblical three score and ten mark. Prof.
Shaler, of Harvard, regards the aboli-
tion of old age as a sign of progress.
Brutes and savages. as he points out,
either kill their supeTannuates or leave
them to starve. On rising from saw
agery TO barbarism men set their aged
as a class apart and revere them for
their wisdom and dignity 1t is a
mark of an advance in civilization
when they are "readopted into the as
sociation and are allowed to go along
with the business of life in the manner
of other people"

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Confidence Expands as Crops are s
cured-Industria Situation Good

New York. July 29.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Commercial tendencies are still in
the direction of Improvement, al
though progress is hampercd by some
initiation of prices for the raw ma
terials of textile and footwear indus
tries. Confidence expands as the
crops are secured, each day putting a
large quantity of grain beyond danger
and making sensational rumors of loss
less effective. Weather conditions
have been favorable for retail distri-
button, reduced stocks in the hands
of dealers being reflected in enlarged
wholesale and jobbing demands. Evi-
denceS Of faith in the future are in
Creasing, more disposition being
shown to provide for requirements
beyond immediate consumption.
The industrial situation is in a
striking contrast to conditions pre-
Vailing a year ago, when there was
much idloness. Complete returns now
available for the leading departments
indicate that the first half of 1905
.ade a better comparison with the
corresponding six months last year
nan even themost sanguine estimates,
which naturally increases optimism
regarding business during the second
half.
Failures this week numbered pa in
the United States, against 220 last
year, and 81 in Canada, compared
with is a year ago.

A FTER LONG YEARS.
His Story.

After long years, tonight we
meet,
1 gaze through tears upon your
lovely face;
Your eyes of blue, your tender,
winning grace,
And / would give my life to clasp
your hand,
To hear your dear voice give ME
one command
That ! might kneel repentant at
your feet.
after long years, you pass still
Unconscious in your perfect W oman,
My earnest wish may not be under
stood
For though you loved me once the
dream has passed,
And / have learned to worship you
alas!
o, God in tender mercy, pity me
AFTER long years once more We
past,
To walk our different ways no more
10 meet;
My path of thorns and yours with
roses sweet,
I'm suffering anguish you drank
years ago
My cup is full-the hour has come
| know
For lifelong sorrow and broken
heart"
HER ANSWER.
II saw thee though my eyes were
turned away.
L wondered if the years had
changed
Ne, too, as thou vert changed?
| wondered if you knew,
That / could quite forget those bit
ter tears.
Forget my anger and those cruel
years
And love you once again as on that
day?
"But / was not remembered.
You passed by without a sign or
token.
Then | knew that different ways
were ordered for we two
And so laughed, and suffered on
again
AS l shall suffer always-till the
pain
Shall leave me at the last
In peace to die!'

DANGEROUS WALKS.

IL has been demonstrated, dur
irg the snow and slippery weather
OF the last few months, that many
of our granitoid and other side
walks are veritable death traps,
from the fact that they are SO
steeply inclined that it is almost
impossible for pedestrians to pass
along them.
1t has been held by the courts
that an incline of three inches in
ten is negligent construction. for
which the city can be held in
damages.
We are also informed by a com
petent attorney that the failure
upon the part of the city to either
require the property holders to re-
move all ice. sleet and snow as
soon as possible after the fall
thereof ceases, or else have it done
by city labor, is a subject for
assessment of damages in favor
of any one injured by reason of
said failure.
1t behooves the city authorities
to look after this matter in every
instance promptly, and thus avoid
suits for damages against the city,
such as have been brought by
parties recently injured by their
neglect.

DEFENSE SCORES FOR KOCH
Uses Asa Brooks to Prove Murderer Was
not Koch and Follows with
Other Testimony.
Indications are that Trial will Come to
to an End this Week--Dr.
Koch Happy.

The state finished presenting it's
direct evidence in the case against
DIR. Koch at Mankato last Wednes-
day. The defense opened and the
probabilities are that before this
week is ended the second trial of
the case will have come to a close
and the jury will be celebrating
on the evidence.
The state closed with some sen
sational evidence against the doc
tor. To counterbalance this the
display of bad temper on the part
of Mayor Silverson on the witness
stand will have some effect, without
doubt.
On Tuesday the mailing of the
poison bottle to DR.. Gerhard a short
time before the murder was brought
very close to DR.. Koch, E. G. .Hage,
Hanska banker, and J. M. Thomp-
son, the Minneapolis & st. Louis
station agent at that place, testify
ing to witnessing the mailing of a
box to DR.. Gebhardt at New Ulm
on the same day that DR.. Koch
moved from his branch Office at
Hanska. The fact that Hage was a
witness for the defense on the first
trial, made his evidence the more
important. He stated that he went
to the Hanska depot on Oct. 81 to
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1905-05-10

the name OF a patentmedicine, while
on the witness stand stated that DR..
Koch had access to his grip, which
usually contained the bottle of
sryychnine tablets. The witness
said also about the 5th of Septem-
Der he had filed the strychnine
bottle with about 80 or 95 tablets.
and that when be was questioned
by Detective Rydell, after the MUIR
der, and was asked to look at his
strychnine bottle, he found that it
contained but a few tablets. DR..
Stricken stated that for few DAYS
after the murder DR.. Koch seemed
respondent except when he was
working in his Office, at which time
he was cheerful.
A greater portion of Wednesday
afternoon was used by the defense
in attempting to call Asa Brooks
to the witness stand. Gen. Childs
protested against the motion bitter
ly and during the course of his re-
marks he scathed Editor Brooks
viciously.
The state is not willing to call
Witness Brooks Kissed the veter-
an attorney, because it cannot
vouch for his truthfulness. The
state regards his evidence as who'll
ly untrustworthy, and it should
not be compelled to place on the
stand witness in whose veracity
it has no faith.
During the remarks Mr.. Brooks
sat near the court rostrum, appar-
emily unnoved by the words. At
times smiles would play upon his
otherwise calm countenance, and
when it was finally at an end he
arose to await the decision of the
decision of the Judge, who held that
he would not be compelled to take
the stand for the state, but should
remain in attendance to be ready to

mail letter and while in the depot
saw letter and a box about two
inches square, addressed to DR..
Gebhard at New Ulm. When shown
the poison package, Mr.. Hage said
the one he saw was very similar to
it.
Mr.. Hage then testified he then
returned to his Office and then came
down town again, taking the 1:24
train for New Ulm. DR.. Koch, he
said, was on the same train and had
his dentists chair, which he was
taking back to New Ulm.
J. NJ. Thompson testified to see
ing the box mailed to Gebhard5, but
could not fix the the day of the
the month.
GLOW was the package marked?"
he was asked.
"Dr. Louis A. Gebhardt, New
Ulm, Mimi, he answered. He
said he gave the box to his brother,
the mailing clerk, who put it on the
train. Koch, he said, left on the
same train, taking his dentists
chair with him. He said he also
saw Hage at the depot that day.
Thompson could not give an accur-
ate description of the box but re-
membered the address perfectly.
There was more or less bad blood
manifested all day Tuesday. Mayor
Silverson was in Mankato. At the
Salspaugh hotel be approached At
torney Abbott and said; 81 under
stand you have been calling some
of US liars. If this keeps up there
will be some cheeks slapped, upon
which Mr.. Abbot glared at the
mayor and retorted: Here's a
cheek; begin right here" "Your
time is coming" returned Mr.. Sill
verson, m not going to fight you
now" and then the mayor walked
away.

tense.
At the conclusion of this feature
Of the case court adjourned until
Thursday morning 30 give the at
torneys for the defense an oppor-
tunity to decide upon the plan to be
followed by them.
Brooks was the first witness on
the stand for the defense. He
swore positively that Koch was not
the man he saw through the tran
som and during a two hours cross
examination Gen. Childs could not
shake his testimony He described
the person as wearing a mustache,
while DR.. Koch has always been
smooth shaver.
Mail clerks on the st. Louis road
disproyed the date when the poison
package was said to have been sent
by the state, while a number of wit
nesses, including Miss Fitzpatrick,
testified that DR.. Koch hands
were scratched in an accident while
out driving the Sunday previous.
The hammer theory as advanced by
the state was entirely impeached
before the close of the proceedings
Saturday evening.
