The experiences of South Dakota
and other states in which the state
institutions were not located by the
constitutions, would indicate that the
North Dakota constitution makers
were wise when they located state
institutions by that valuable and SEN
sible enactment. AT the time this
matter was discussed and when of
course there was wellknown rivalry
for the position of these institutions,
there was an honest difference of opin-
lon as to the wisdom of this action.
In the light Of past events, and now
that We may look at the matter with
clearer vision fifteen years after
wards, it is likely that the constitu-
ton makers would now be unanimous
that this was a wise course. Former
Governor Alliu who is visiting in this
city for few days, while at the time
the constitution was passed disagreed
with the majority as to the wisdom OF
this course. now agrees that this was
the best thing that could have been
done. Probably others who disagreed
and held their honest differences at
the time. would now. il the matter
were brought up. express the same
opinion as Governor Ailin.

Professional, jealousy is not usually
a motive for murder, and for that rea-
son many of those who have followed
the Koch murder case at New Ulm,
have, until the presentation Of the
testimony, been of the opinion that DR..
Koch was not guilty. Alienists and
criminologists, and others who have
made study Of crime, set forth crime,
while not as an exact science yet as a
science which may be studied and de-
veloped with considerable degree
of exactitude. Motives for murder
may be jealousy and love, may be
rage, may be fear of detection, or any
one number of other causes, and it
is of course possible that professional
jealouly arising out of keen, rivalry
in business may be a motive for MUIR
der, provided it were brooded over,
and provided also that the person who
contemplated murder were of an: alb
normal and largely degenerate type.
It will be noticed by those who have
followed crimes Of this brutal and
mysterious character that the underly-
ing motive is usually one arising out
OF the greater passions, and profess
sional jealousy can hardly be placed
in this class. Nevertheless the ac-
cumulated evidence against DR.. Koch
is strong, and the discerning reader
win see that il he is not guilty, he is
the victim Of remarkable and I'M.
usual chain Of circumstances.

but two of his savants had had 4
quarrel over a gid whom they both
wooed. The merchant interfered in the
fight. The unsuccessful sutton, Laj,
began to make trouble. and his rival
the husband. warned the merchant
against him. Nothing happened for
some months. Then the merchant
went away On business. On his re-
turn he was told that Laj had been
caught in his bedroom and locked up.
In the east this meant trouble. The
merchant called his servants and had
Q thorough search made Of the house.
They examined every trunk. bureau
and bedstead, every picture, statue and
crevice in the wall and crack in the
door, expecting to find a hooded cobra
or other poisonous reptile. They scru-
hhized every knob. handle and gar
ment to see IL 1t had been smeared
with poison or with juices which at
;hacted venomous creatures. Then
they searched the wine cellar, the pan
6ysand the storeroom. But they found
nothing. ~s7..E 80:

They examined the keyhole and
found traces Of wax. When they
opened the case the merchant found
everything apparently untouched. Five
boxes Of cigars were Unopened He had
opened the sixth before he went away
and removed a few cigars. As he took
this box up he noticed on it the marks
Of fingers.
The cigars looked as il they had not
been disturbed. He was about to take
one when he noticed that something
was wrong with the head. A second
and a third were like the first. In each
a small, almost impercephble rose
thorn had been inserted, and on It was
q dab OF brown slime still moist the
same color as the cigar.
"Do not touch them, sahib,' said the
Indian. ''They are poisoned
The merchant sat down and wrote a
note to the police. In half an hour an
officer appeared with Laj under guard.
The merchant stated the case to the
officer and, taking one Of the cigars,
handed it to Laj, with the command,
Take it and smoke it,
The man turned gray and refused.
His guilt was proved.
