COUNTY SHOWS BIG GAIN
There Were $50 Births in 1901 and
But 90 Deaths.
Statistics Indicate That Brown Is
Healthy Locality.
Comfrey Makes Best Showing; IL
Births, one Death.

Brown county is a very healthy
place to live in taken as a whole, and
some parts are except onally so. This
is CLEANED from the report of 81. NJ
Bracken, secretary of the state board
of health and vital statistics, to Clerk
of Court John Larson. The report
was received Friday and included the
report of the health officer of each
city and township in the county.
Comfrey holds the record for 1904
with twelve births and one death and
Cottonwood with twenty-three births
and two deaths follows close after.
Sleepy Eye reports ffty-dve births and
twenty deaths, and New Ulm shows
al births and eighty-nine deaths:
this poor showing being explained BY
the presence of the hospital in the
city.
The increase of births over deaths
has been a large one for the year, 349,

Dr.. Gebhardt's Life Insurance.

The sensational trial Of DR.. Koch
for the murder of DIR. Louis a. Geb-
hardt of New Ulm, has served to re-
mind the people OF Minnesota again
of one of those unaccountable TRACE
dies that periodically startle and horri-5
fy a community. Death by assassin
alton, perhaps, more than in any other
form, invests every detail of a mans
life and circumstances with a special
interest. Thus it was that the matter
of DR.. Gebhardt's life insurance has
been spoken of and its peculiar feat
ures commented upon. He carried
policy of 81, 900 in the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, on
the $40 payment plan He had paid
only six premiums, amounting tosl7S. s
30, so that the proceeds at death yield
ed his estate nearly six times the orig
inal cost. The death claim was paid
recently to DR.. Gebhardt's brother
and executor, r. C. Gebhardt, by the
Mutual's District Manager for this
field, Mr.. A. b. Redman OF New Ulm.
It is not known that DR.. Gebhardt
needed life insurance more than. the
generality of young men, but the out
come emphasizes the value of this form
of investment. Had he lived few
years longer his policy would have
been fully paid for, an assured estate
against possible need, or as a posi-
bic provision against old age AS it
was, it is safe to assert that no other
investment left to his estate returned
SO large a profit over cost.

THE GRAY WOLF.
His Cunning ts Marvellous, and He Is
Difficult to Catch.

His Cunning ts Marvellous, and He Is
Difficult to Catch.
The cunning Of the gray wolf is mar
velous, and it is most difficult to catch
mapping. He somehow seems to
know that iron is associated with man.
= piece of iron anywhere will keep
him at distance. If you shoot an
antelope, for instance, and just put
your spur on the carcass you may leave
it as long as you like and no wolf will
touch it. A pocket handkerchief will
do as we'll
Lobo, a great gray wolf who was
the king of the pack at CurrumpaW, a
vast cattle range in New Mexico, was
a thinker as well as ruler. His pack
ate nothing but what they had killed
themselves and thus poison was no
good. At last thousand dollars was

noted wolf hunter from Texas, with
his pack of great wolfhounds. But
again there was failure. Then two
other hunters came with subtly devils

came on the scene. First I tried
poison. and there was no combination
of strychnine, arsenic and prussic acid
which did not use. put the poisons
in cheese melted together with kidney

GIVES The LIE TO John s.
Walker Man Claims to Be Geb.
hardt's Slayer.
August Schmidt Writes Brooks a
Full Confession.
He Also Is the Man That Killed
sThat Policeman.

II killed DR.. Gebhardt,'' is the
statement of a man from Walker,
Mimi, who signs his name August
Schmidt. in a letter to Asa P. Brooks.
This startling announcement is not
received with the excitement it would
occasion had not the now notorious
"John 50 paved the way in this line
of sensations with a free and full con-
5ession.
Schmidt has evidently been close
follower of the trial through the pa
pers and doubtless hearing of "John
50 and his exploit thought to emulate
him. The two confessions conflict in
more than one particular, for this
man also claims to be the real muir
derer of the New Ulm policeman.
The letter is not rambling, as was
she one received q short time ago, and
seems to have been written by man
in his right mind.
The letter follows:
Walker, MINI. Jan. 26, 1905.
Mr.. ASA Brooks,
Dear Sir:-I am the mans that

The fellow then goes on to state how
he helped Pat Crow to kidnap the
Cudahy child.
He goes on to say, "Mr. Asa Brooks

A. ]. Alvin Interview.

A. j. Alvin of New Ulm, travelling
representative of Geo. Fl. Heineman
manufacturing company Of Milwau-
kee, is in the city to attend the retail
merchants convention, says the Sioux
Falls Daily Press. Mr.. Alvin talked
freely to a Press reporter about the
famous murder trial recently conclud-
ed at New Ulm by the disagreement Of
the jury. He said:
THE best people of New Ulm con-
slider the arrest and prosecution of
DR.. Koch as little short of an outrage.
[ was present at the coroner's inquest
when all the facts were gone into and
after that the prosecution of DR.. Koch
was dropped. Later when the citizens
committee took charge of affairs and
employed detectives, as there was alb
sOlutely no clue to the murderer, the
old talk against Koch was revived
and he was brought to trial. The
detectives had to do something for
their money. The sentiment against
DR.. Koch was caused entirely by sem
sational newspaper reports.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

The easier people make money the
easier they want to make it.
Among the many mysteries of child
hood is why grown people cry when
they are glad.
There are some people who think
they have discharged their full duty to
you by praying for you.
What do you use most during the
day? Do you use the little white lie al
most as much as your shoes?
When a man makes one mistake he
usually follows it up with three or four
before he RECEIVERS his balance.
Don't be conceited; get any map of
the United States, and do you find any
mark on it to show that you are or
earth?
Every one admits that rich people are
not happier than the poor, or as happy
yet every one is striving to become one
of the miserable rich.-Atchison Globe.

STATE INSTITUTE FOR FARMERS
Arrangements Being Made to Have One Here in
March.

DR.. O. C. Stricken has been inform
ed that the State Farmers Institute,
which has been held in this city several
times, will be held here again this
year sometime in March. The date
has not been definitely fixed, but when
it is the public will be appraised of the
time and place.
Previous institutes that have been
held here have attracted large num-
bers of people and have been attended
with much interest by not only the far
mers but by many of the people OF the
city and have been productive of good
results. The corps of instructors,
which has always been the very best,
has been strengthened this year and
all the members have expressed them
selves as pleased with the reception
they have been given in this city.
The Farmers Club, which is an or
ganization of the young men who have
attended the state school, will have a
meeting the 18th of February, but this
has nothing to do with the regular
state institute. The lectures are along
different lines and in keeping with
a desire on the part of the young men
to keep up the interest started in the
school-a sort of a post graduate
course. This is urged by the in
structors of the school. and shows that
it is not losing sight Of its graduates
even after they leave the institution

SUICIDES FROM WORK AND WORRY
Paul HauSer, Well Known in New Ulm, Com.
mits Suicide.

Paul Hauser, secretary and treasurer
of the Hauser Maulting Co. of St.
Paul, committed suicide by shooting
himself with a shot gun Friday after
noon. The only reason assigned for
the deed is that he was overworked
and worried. The manner in which
the gun was discharged is peculiar. 1t
is thought that the weapon was placed
on the top of barrel, the butt end
resting against another barrel with
muzzle NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. breast.
While IN this position the trigger was
operated with d broom handle found
near the body, and which the watch
man says had been in another part of
the cellar short time previous.
Mr., Hauser' S friends believe that he
has been brooding over business
affairs. though the troubles were
slight and all Of the kind that could
be adjusted easily Illness of his
brother. Charles Hauser, had also
thrown extra work upon him, and his.
friends believe the strain unsettled
him.
Paul Hauser is brother of Chas.
Hauser, who married the eldest
daughter of Col. VIM. Pfaender of
this city, and is a man respected by
all who know him. The unfortunate
ending of the young man $ life is de-
plored by all who know him.

Ancient Eggs In China.

A German epicure# comes to the rescue
of the Chinese in regard to their al
legged habit of eating rotten eggs. The
eggs. he says, are simply preserved in
lime until they get a consistency like
that of hard butter and they taste
somewhat like lobster. He declares
them one of the choicest delicacies he
has ever eaten. He thinks there are
no better cooks in the world than the
Chinese. When he went to live among
them his friends predicted he would
starve, but he had a good time and
gained weight-more than he wanted
to.

Two ways Of Doing Business.

Two Ways of Doing Business.
I have seen in London only one office
where there is any real enthusiasm.
And the employees seldom have any in
terest in the business beyond drawing
their salaries. In most of the factories.
and even in the Offices, they are taught
a certain round of duties. and they are
allowed to do nothing else. They sci
dom suggest improvements for fear of
losing their places, where in America
they'd soon lose their places if they
didn't make suggestions. Here it's the
firm in it's private Offices and every
body else doing as little as possible and
never stepping out of the rut they're
put in, and there it's everybody work
ing together. coats off, and the head OF
the concern glad to listen to the office
boy and to do as he says if it means re
sults.-Vanity Fair.
