The murder of DR.. Louis A. Geb-
/ hardt, for which DR.. G. r. Koch was
| tried, was one of unusual interest, in
asmuch as both men were prominent
in social as well as professional life in
New Ulm. The men had been friends,
and had performed for each other acts
of professional courtesy.
The murder occurred on the night
of Nov. 1, and was of particularly
horrible nature. DR.. Gebhardt had
been engaged in some work in his den
tai laboratory, which was located over
the office of the New Ulm Review.
/ Men working in the printing Office be-
low heard him at work at o'clock.
They heard man going up the steps
to DR.. Gebhardt's Office, and little
later pedestrians on the street heard
outcries. :.
Editor Asa P. Brooks, sitting at his
desk below DR.. Gebhardt's Office, heard
sounds of seuffling. He heard furni-
ture being, showed about. His curios-
ity being aroused by the unusual noisy
disturbance overhead, he went upstairs
and tried the door, but found it lock-
ed. He climbed on the stair E:banister
and looked through the transom over
the door to DR.. Gebhardt's Office. A
bright light illuminated the room and
directly underneath the room he saw
the form of man lying on the floor.

The murderer looked up at the tran

that he did not recognize the man
bending over the form Of the dead.
Brooks then went down to the street

FARMER HAS WILD RIDE
Thrilling Experience Of Mentonne MAJ
Whose Horses Take Fright.

LIE SUEUR, NIINN.-Artemus Hope of Men
tonne had strange, wild ride which he does
not want to have repeated. Yesterday he
coming from a point several miles out in the
country, riding in a platform buggy, and on
the top of this he was hauling home neigh
bors buggy that had been disabled in runaway
and placed bottom-side up Hopes buggy,
with the wheels uppermost, and firmly tied in
place. -:
Hope was sitting on some blankets laid on the
upturned bottom of the neighbours buggy and
riding along quietly and peaceably, when just
he had got about half way down the long
hill past the Hemerick farm the horses became
buggy entirely over, bottom-side up This man.
euver brought Hopes buggy wrong side up, but
also brought the neighbors vehicle. right side
up, and, with Hope clinging like a bat beneath
the combinatio Of vehicles, the horses ran of
no attention whatever to the frantic calls OF
whoa which Hope shouted from his perilols
position so the ground, and with nothing
but his clinging hands and feet to keep him il
place.
1t was hard work to hold on, and his strength
| was just about spent when the rushing horses
| veered off to the side Of the road near: th
| poor farm and, running into a shallow ditci
| there tipped the combination vehicle entirel,
over again, this time with Hopes buggy righ
side up and the other inverted, and this place
| the farmer in just the shape he had bee
| when he started. The lines were still With
| his reach, that he could afford to use hi
hands to pull on them, and he soon had til
horses under control and drove into town al

Some Phases Of Insurance.

Of course the fundamental idea under
lying life insurance is the advisability
and necessity Of making some provision
for those who would otherwise be. dest1-
tute because of the death of the mainstay
Of the family. g.T H.. .-.--...,
But this is only one phase Of this ben
evolent institution. Many Of the wealth.
lest men in the United States carry poll
cies for the sake Of an investment pure
and simple. Such men as John. Wana-
H. H. Rogers, the Standard Oil magnate,
are among the largest policy holders in
the country. - .-.,.' T.. i .sr.. f..
In recent interview John Wanamaker,
who is said to carry the heaviest life in
surance policy of any. man in America,
| told of the Investigations he made into
the insurance before he decided to invest
his money in it. - The word invest" is
! used advisedly because that is the man
ner in which the merchant prince regards
| it. He said he knew of no other form OF
! investment which was at once so safe
and at the same time so profitable.
! 1t would require a person with the most
| vivid imagination to conceive the posSi-
bility of Mr.. Wanamaker and the Other
men mentioned ever dying and leayine
should they pay out thousands every veal
to the life Insurance companies?' is the
question frequently asked.
The answer is a. simple one.
These men. and thousands of others
like them, are engaged in large busines:
of money is frequently required True
they might go to their banks and obtai1
it, but this always takes a little time and
generally demands the pledging of consid
cradle collateral for the loan. Again tn
borrower in such a case is obliged to pa!
the current rates of interest for the ac
commodation which he obtains, and thi
is always a shifting and uncertain rate.

Fixed Rate of Interest.

With the life insurance policy this is
all avoided For every year that a poll
cy is carried its borrowing value in
creases, and money borrowed upon it
from the insurance companies is always
at a fixed rate of interest. The money
market may be subject to the widest fuc-
tuations. Rates may jump from 10 to
100 per cent in a day, and the borrower
has to pay what is demanded.
R,1t with his life insurance policy in his
hand the merchant can go to the company
issuing it and obtain obtain the Il fun borrowing
snqe snG II rate Of interest There
no tedious and lengthy formalities to be
observed, and Of the interest that the
borrower pays part eventually returns to
him in the guise of dividends upon his
policy.
That is one of the features of life in
surance that commend it to the business
man, be he in a large or small way OF
trade and 1t is one that has saved many
! from financial shfpwreck and bankruptcy
in times OF monetary stringency or de-
pressed business condi ions.

Sure, Cheap and Certain.

One man puts hundred year into a
savings bank, and at the end of ten years
dies. x His family gets $1,000. Another
man pays premiums of a hundred a year
for ten years and dies and his family gets
$4,000. With the latter man there is no
i impairment in the. interim, nor any
chance of one, while with the former i'm
I pairment is easy at any moment, and the
temptation to impair is always imminent.
This phase may be summed up in the
words Of a Chicago clergyman, who not
| long ago said in a sermon:
J.. Il am no insurance agent but do not
| hesitate to say that modern life insurance
comes nearer to giving something for
nothing, and making this something sure
