The Koch Case.

Altho the family of DR.. George R.
Koch felt that his third trial for MUIR
der was a great outrage it was worth
going thru with. An acquittal is worth
Infinitely more to him than Disagree
ment. The law which did all it could
to take from him his life and his char
acter has restored him to the commun-
ity as we'll as it could.
The Koch case suggests the thought
that the money burden of such trial
as he has gone thru should be borne
at least in part by the state. The Koch
family happened to have a little money.
1t happened to be a family in which
loyalty was strongly marked and all
the resources Of the family were at the
about all the accumulations of the elder
Koch s lifetime to defend his son from
the charge Of murder. Had cloud
burst happened in his neighborhood it
could not have swept him clear with
less responsibility on his part. 49,
Nor could the son have done any
thing to prevent the charge which has
been brought. He had not formed any
bad habits to suggest that some day he
would get into trouble. He had no
enmities, no bad companions. He was
not idle, thriftless nor dissipated
Merely because he walked on the
street near where a murder was COM
mitted and because handkerchief with
his initials worked upon the corner
| was found by the dead man and be-
| cause there was found there also lead
pencil like one which had been given
young Koch he was indicted and thrice
tried for murder. His father has been
stripped of his property to save his son
and the law says it has done all it
could for him in giving him back his
son with a certificate of character. It
takes no responsibility for anything but
the verdict Of guilty or not guilty.
Perhaps the trial the Kochs have
been thru is properly put down as part
of the burden Of civilization. The com
pick organization Of society is felt to
be good for the race in the aggregate,
but there is no guarantee that it's bur.
dens will be equally or equitably dis
tributed. The Koch family have drawn
more than their fair share. But there
is no known method Of restoring the
status quo before the trial. And pos
sibly they have done nothing more
! than other families are doing daily
the only difference being that they have
been in the limelight. Their burden
has been carried before the public.

GRAIN TRADE WAR
ON AT DULUTH
Superior to Try the Effect Of It's
Own Inspection-Hostility
Across the Bay.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal. 81 5-
Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 2.-The fight be-
tween the elevator companies owning
houses at Superior and the Superior
is to be to finish. All of the houses
there are to be operated hereafter as
private houses. The Great Northern
elevators have been leased to A. D..
Thompson Of Duluth, and he will run
them hereafter as private houses.
These houses will receive only the com
pany's grain, and will issue no receipts.
Under the Wisconsin law, any house
which issues receipts is a public ware
house and by issuing none the elevators
are kept from becoming such. The
question then arises, where will the
grain bought on the Superior board be
delivered9
The Minnesota inspection department
has withdrawn from Superior, but the
Duluth board of trade yesterday APP
pointed II. B. Moore weighmaster, and
he has named twelve weighmen. At the
request of the elevators these .weighmen
are installed in the Superior house.
Behind the elevator men IS the whole
Duluth board Of trade. The commits
sion men have for years been wanting
to fight, claiming that the Superior
grain men have for years been SANDER
ing this market thruout the northwest
and then disposing of 80 per cent of
the grain CONSIGNED to them in the
Duluth market, the very one they had
run down in the country.
The elevator men have always been
holding off the commission men, how
ever. Their large interests made them
anxious to avoid trouble and compro
mise after compromise has been made
Now all sides are in for the fight.
| Under the commission rule. no Du
! luth member can buy grain from a SUI
| perior man without charging him the
| full commission As the Superior mer
cannot charge the country two com
missions. they must either find mar
ket of their own or get memberships
on the Duluth board. They have thu:
far failed to find market for more
than per cent of the grain received
by them, and If they apply for member
ship on the Duluth Loard. it will only
take six black balls to defeat them.

LOVE, CoURTsHIP, MARRIAGE
IN QUICK SUCCESSION.-To novel
readers who like to have things NOV
ing, rather than description and phil
osophy, Charles G. D. Roberts The
Prisoner of Mademoiselle will appeal
strongly. A young Englishman from
Boston goes to find hidden treasure
near Port Royal. When he is near
shore fog falls and he loses his ship.
He goes ashore and is there taken pris-
oner by the niece Of the French gov
ernor of Acadia, who is something Of
Diana Of the chase and is armed
with a fowlingpiece. Complications
gather thick and fast, but out Of them
come two love ventures of more than
common interest and Of speedy denoue-
ment.
Mr.. Roberts shows skill in the con-
struction of his story, charm in. the
drawing of his characters and not a
little invention in incident. But his
skill as raconteur is too well known
to need exploitation here. It is enough
to say that fsThe Prisoner Of Made.

mock or a bleak day when one seeks

Bishop Ludden Of Syracuse, NJ Y,

burial to those who die by, accident
while seeking amusement on the first
day Of the week. His action has the
approval of Andrew D. White, who has
written a letter commencing the bish-
ops position, and inveighing against
the paganizing of Sunday. We should
suppose that the principal effect Of such
ruling would be to minimize the i'm
portance Of Christian burial. If 1t
were denied on such insufficient
grounds, it might come in time to be
considered unnecessary.

The Wheat Crop.

With harvesting already in progress
in some of the more-advanced localities
in southern Minnesota and the southern
portion Of South Dakota, it becomes
evident that, with the wheat crop, it is
q race with the black rust against time,
with the crop now in the lead, and due
to win out if the weather holds good a
little longer. Yesterday brought re-
ports Of the spreading Of the rust in
the Red river valley, but along with the
unfavorable news there were many ad-
vices Of good progress toward maturity,
and where the wheat has been very
backward, it has, within the past week,
forged ahead surprisingly we'll. The SIT
uation still permits Of much doubt, but
for several days past all the advantage
has been on the side of the crop. The
experts have said that conditions were
ripe for the quick spread of the black
rust, and indeed it has spread, but act
ual damage has been less, where it APP
peared, than was the case last year.
Neither has the infection gone thru the
fields with the wildfre rapidity of last
year. It is not yet possible to pronounce
the crop absolutely safe, but it is posi-
BILE to note that every succeeding day
brings it closer to safety, and in many
important counties the rust must get in
its work pretty soon or not at all.
Black rust is 50 scientific PROPOSE
tion to 20 into, that grain men do not,
as rule, pretend to be able to say Just
what it will or will not do. One thing,
however, has been noted: the wheat has
stood punishment much better than last
year. This has given rise to the trade
theory that the vista ton is of char
acter less virulent than that Of year
ago, or else the wheat is a tougher
plant this year, for there are several in
stances where grain men, having been
advised Of the discovery of black rust
in the fields, gave personal attention to
watching those particular fields, to find
that the plant stood the rust much bet.
ter than had been expected, Judging
from experience with the old crop.
The situation today, while not yet
permitting positive conclusions as tc
yields, presents lineup decidedly more
favorable than week ago, or two
weeks or a month ago. A little gooe

northwest, and, with the excess Of bal
