Liquor prospects in Maine have
steadily gone from bad to worse for
the last five years. In 1900 there were
nearly 1900 United States liquor tax
payers in Maine, and not one of them
was in Jail who had his S11O ready
for the county treasurer. Now there
are scarcely 900 liquor taxpayers on
record, and il is much easier to find
the records than to find the men. About
10 per cent are in Jail, and twice as
many more have defaulted their bonds
and fled to parts unknown.

AN INTERESTING FAMILY

In recent issue of the Milwaukee
Sentinel we found the following item
in reference to the ''cat family"
Considerable excitement was
caused in the Office of the Plankinton
house by the announcement that
Agnes, the big office Cat, had become
the mother of an interesting family,
and clerks and cashiers haStened to
look at the little strangers. Agnes,
however, had hidden them away in
small cupboard under the cashiers
desk, which is used as waste paper
receptacle, and it is impossible to get
at the kittens without tearing away a
portion of the woodwork.
it was intended to remove" the
kittens, but owing to the prudence of
the mother it is probable that they
will remain in their cosy quarters
until they are large enough to look
out for themselves.
John James, the key clerk, has
taken a special interest in the
juvenile felineS, and when their
execution was talked of he Sturdily
declared that he would preserve their
lives and see that they are maintained
in comfort if it takes half bis salary.

SCIENCE AND
SUPERSTITION

The address of DR.. r. Heber Newton
Scientific Research is significant of a
very important change of attitude
among men of nineteenth century's
triumphs of physical science. There
Vas pretty general inclination
toward intolerance for every belief
not apparently consistent with the
material laws then recognized. Every
thing was superstition which was not
within the range of accepted scientific
truth. To be intellectually respectable
was to be free from any speculative
interests or conviction not based on
the physical science.
Our present generation of scientific
men are somewhat differently minded.
individuals, of course, differ, as they
did in the previous period, but in the
main there is today much more
hospitality to speculation in spiritual
and monopoly ySical phenomena, and the
general trend of thought is rather
away from than toward materialiStic
formulae of life. 1t is not by any
means reputation of science. On
the contrary, it is an expansion,
consistent and inevitable, of the
domain of scientific research. The
charlatan and the ignoramus and the
SenSatiOnalist are still with US, and,
like the poor, will always be. But it
is not unlikely that the great achieve
ments of the human intellect in the
epoch now beginningiwill be the ex-
tension of knowledge Of what we
have called the soul or the spirit Of
man. oo-called physical research,
when it is scientifically pursued, is no
longer discredited. And, as DR..
Newton points out, many of the
beliefs that nineteenth century
science deemed deluSons and super
stitions are today found TO have a sci
entitically discoverable basis of truth.
DR.. NewtOn'S own experience has
yielded some remarkable facts, and
while few scientific men will 60 with
him the full extent of his theories,
they are not likely to scoff SO readily
at his assertions Of fact.
Indeed, to the true man of science,
the trueSeeker, there has never been d
time in the history of human thought
| when researches held SO much Of deep
and awe inspiring interest. To be
pioneer in the vastly regions which lie
beyond the tangible self is surely
noble pursuit. And we have come to
believe that there, as in other fields
OF knowledge, the advance through
courage and faith and honesty and
industry is certain. and the rewards
alluring-more alluring than any
other conceivable to the human
mind.--Cbicago Post.

"HORSE SENSE"

The following item from the Mil
waukee Journal of Tuesday illus
trateS a common practice Of the
average teamster and alsu shows that
a horse has more sense than it's
master in many cases, hence the
common saying, "horse sense"
Horse sense" is proverbial, and
the careleSsnesS of one driver brought
out display of it in front of The
Journal building Monday. A bitter
wind was blowing from the west, but
in spite of this a thoughtless driver
drove up and hitched his horse facing
the wind. A blanket was thrown
over the horses back, where he needed
it the least, but his breast was ex-
posed to the piercing wind and cold.
Fortunately weight had been used
in the hitching process and the clever
equine after bearing the discomfort
as long as he could, began to mani
pulate things according 20 his own
ideas. Tossing his head to lift the
weight from the ground, he bit by
bit turned the heavy delivery wagon
to which be was harneSsed, completely
around, until it acted as windbreak,
and placed him in comparative COM
fort, if comfort may be secured on
such day.
That's right, old boy" said a
passerby. You know more than your
master"

BANK FAILURES in IOWA

A Sioux City, Iowa, correspondent
says: The forthcoming report Of the
state bank commissioner for Iowa
will be the most sensational of it's
kind ever published. 1t will show
for the year almost forty bank failures
in Iowa, with losses of over $4,000,
900, and that eight bank officials have
taken their own lives when the crash
was inevitable. In addition, a list Of
a half-dozen cases of defalcations,
which did not lead to failures,
the losses were promptly made good,
is discussed.
The defalcations and forgerieS
chiefly represent losses by speculat
ions on the board of trade or New
York's stock exchange. The other
cases are attributed, after careful
investigation, almost without except
ion, to the work of the 'Beef Trust" ="
whose control OF prices has wrought
havoc among stock men in the west.

found to hold great amounts of the
paper of cattle raiserS and feeders
who had been carried while they
prepared their stock for market. AS
a result of trust control of prices, the
figures realized when the stock was
marketed were SO low that borrowers
could not make good their loans, the
bank found themselves caught in
numerous similar transactions, and
the result was failure.
With only one exception, the
bankers who took their own lives held
large amounts of overdue cattle
papers. This pointed out that the
trust Was mauifeStly responsible
because it forced downward the price
of live stock at the same time that it
raised the price of meat to consumers.
The report urges that continuance
of such conditions means ruin to

NEW ULM MURDER
TO BE PICTURED
Company Formed in Black River
Falls to Display Chief Incl
dent OF Tragedy.
Special to The Journal.

New Ulm, Ninn., Feb. 6.-To meet
and gratify a public demand for the
details of the murder in New Ulm on
the evening of Nov. !, a company has
been formed in Black River Falls,
Wis, the old home of DR.. Gebhard
and is making extensive preparations
for the reproduction of the awful
tragedy.
Photographers of this city have for
month been securing photographs of
persons connected with the tragedy.
These have been sent to the manager
of the new company in the Wisconsin
city, and he is arranging to make a
moving picture display in connection
with the history of the case He expects
I o have his paraphelna!ia completed
soon and will open his attraction in
Black River Falls. A circuit has
been arranged and includes New
Ulm and other points in nearby
counties.
The murder scene will be depicted
in strong light. The murderer will
enter stealthily into the room and
cross over to the laboratory where the
dentist is at work. DR.. Gebhard will
leave the laboratory and cross to the
reception room for the purpose of
securing chair for the callers use
Here the fatal blow will be struck
with hammer which the assassin
takes from his overcoat pocket.
His victim falls to the floor, drop
ping the chair, which is turned over
near the door leading to the labora-
tory. The assailed man arises and a
death struggle ensues, he receiving
blow after blow upon his head from
the assassin. and finally, in an ex-
hausted state, is pushed to the floor.
The murderer takes a knife from
his pocket and makes deep stabs in
his victims throat. Just at this in
slant vivid likeness of Brooks ap-
pears at the tranSOm above the door.
He gazeS intently at the scene on the
floor below and the murderer lifts his
head and looks him squarely in the
face, and Brooks then drops to the
floor in the hall.
The next scene is where the
murderer frantically rushes around
the room attempting to obliterate all
traces of evidence which would con-
meet him with the crime. He goes to
The rear window, raises the sash, cuts
the screen and escapes through the
window by grasping hold of the
electric lights wires below just a
moment before the door is broken
open and the policeman and several
other persons enter.
The likenesses;of the sheriff, county
attorney, city attorney, New Ulm's
mayor, the citizens committee, the
defendant, his father, brothers and
sisters, the old homestead, the jail
where DR.. Koch passed so many days,
the cell, the courtroom in which be
was tried, the attorneys employed for
the defense and state and many scenes
in the court room during the trial are
to be produced on the canvas.
