New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1905-05-17

this afternoon. Miss Schapekham may
| be mistaken several days as to the day
that the blue bottle was received. One
| fact must beheld to steadily, and that
| is that Mr.. Hage saw the box mailed at
| Hanska at the time that he saw DIR.
Koch at the depot. That is the import
ant fact. DR.. Reineke was shocked by
the murder of mis- friend and was all
broken up, and at the coroner's inquest
mispoke himself in saying that the
hammer was DR.. Gebhard's. 1T must
be remembered that he said three times
on the start that the hammer was not
Gebhard's, but Brooks kept saying that
it was, and DR.. Reineke thought he
recalled that it was, but he remembered
afterwards that it was not SO, that he
had gotten his thoughts confused. The
handkerchief does not bear Dr. Rein
eke's initials, but Koch's; no such ham
mer had been seen in Dr. Reineke's Of
fee, but in Koch's; the bloody post was
not ON the way to the home of Dr.
|Reineke's, but the defendant's; the
hands lacerated were not Dr. Reineke's
but Koch's. Not in fifty years has such
a cruel assault been made upon a citi-
zen of New Ulm as upon DR.. Reineke
in order to direct your minds. The pur-
pose of the defense in questioning Zelle
as it did about suspicious pointing to
him was cheaper and desreputable. No
other words properly characterize it.
It is not true that verdict Of guilty
will send the defendant to the gallows.
There are many ways in which the de-
PENDANT will still have recourse. Sup
pose the judge on the bench would
wickedly refuse to do his duty. Why,
the outraged public sentiment of the
community would drag him from the
bench. If witness wickedly refuses to
testify, he is punished If an official of
the state wickedly refuses to do his
duty, the law says that he shall be
punished. The jury has duty to per-
form If the defendant is guilty, it is
not your fault it is mis-. If you should
render a verdict in line with the evil
dence you are but doing your duty. If
you should render one contrary to what
your reason tells you is right, you will
be censured by a judge to the last
hour of your hves-you will have your
consciences to deal with.
This crime is an enormous one. Your
duty is a most responsible one. From
the office of governor down the whole
catalogue there is no place of RESPONSE
bility like yours at this moment. You
are like rocky headland jutting out
into the ocean-no matter what storms
of passion, no matter what friendship
may surround you-you are to stand
like a bulwark and do your duty. Tne
state asks you to summon to your aid
the strongest powers Of your mind and
the strongest virtues of your heart to
aid you in returning a verdict that shall
be just. If you are convinced of the
defendants guilt, return the verdict ac-
cordingly. Do not be influenced by ap-
peals to prejudice.
Gen. Childs closed his argument at
| 80 D. M It had been listened tn with
the closest attention. Gen. Childs was
not feeling very we'll today, the trial
having been great strain upon him,
but his argument was conceded by all
to have been brilliant one.

Refers to Sore Fingers.

There is evidence that Dr. Koch had
sores on his fingers after the homicide.
Brooks testified at the Henningsen in

did not have the cot on finger had
bruises on and skin broken. He saw

Mr.. Brown Speaks.

l.. L. Brown made concise and
logical closing argument on behalf of
the defendant. He said that he would
second the suggestion of the state that
the jury be not swayed by passion. You
have been praised, cajoled and finally
threatened by the state. I have no
flattery and no threats to make. I
am going to look you squarely in the
eye and dodge no point, as the defend
ant has never done.
1t has been suggested that punish
ment is inflicted for the purpose of det-
errlng others from crime 1t is princi-
pie coming to us way back from Europe
one of the highest principles of jur-
lsprudence-is that it is better that
ninety nine guilty men go unwhipped of
the law rather than that one innocent
party be punished. ~..
You have heard from the prosecution
the imaginary details of this crime. You
have been told how the murderer went
step by step upon his prey. Is there
any evidence of that? You have been
told how a professional tiend could do
this atricious and unnatural crime,
and realize that he had been seen and
recognized by an acquaintance, and 90
to his home and to bed and sleep
soundly, when he didn't know but what
a posse would follow him. The next
day he went down town and mingled
with the people and kept at his work,
not as though he expected at any time
to be tapped on the shoulder by the
sheriff. We have real, not an imagin-
airy crime, and the defendant has been
before you and has told his story. We
don't ask you to believe a word of it.

Why Men Commit Murder.

History teaches us that men commit
murder only for the most serious mo-
tives, and that is where we meet the
most serious stumbling block in this
case. The great, ringing question is,
'Why would he do it?' DR.. Gebhard
was successful and had mis- life before
him. DR.. Koch was successful and had
his life opening before him. Is it pos
sible that they could live in New Ulm
together for five years and their as
sociates not know of any cause for ILL.,
will between them? They exchanged
professional courtesies almost up to the
time of the homicide

Talents and Confidence.

A single-talent man. supported by
great self-confidence, will achieve
more than ten-talent man who does
not believe in himself. The mind can
not act with vigor in the presence Of
doubt. A wavering mind makes a
wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and assurance. or
there can be no efficiency. An unedu-
Gated man who believes In himself.
and who has faith that he can do the
thing he undertakes, often puts to
shame the average college-bred man.
whose overculture and wider outlook
have sometimes bred increased sensi-
tiveness and a lessening of self-confi-
dence, whose decision has been weak
ened by constant weighing of conflict
ing theories and whose pretudices are
always open to conviction.-Su;-ess.

Most Deadly Of Snakes.

Most deadly of all snakes Is. the
cobra or cobra di capello. 1t inhab-
its Indian and Ceylon, Buram, the
Andamans. southern China. Indo China
and the Malay peninsula and archi-
pelago. To the west 1t ranges to AT
ghanistan, northeast Persia and south
Turkestan. as far as the east coast OF
the Caspian sea. Cobras are most &C.
tive at night. They feed on small
animals. birds eggs. frogs, fish or in
sects. They attack hen roosts and
swallow the eggs whole. They drink
great deal of water, although they
can live for weeks, even months, in
captivity without touching food or
water. AS a rule they are not ag-
gressive, and unless interfered with or
irritated they crawl along the ground
with neck undated. looking like some
harmless snake.

Schiller. Mean Revenge.

When Schiller was boy at school
he was tormented by Swiss tutor
named Kuplig, who came from the
Grisons canton. Years later. when
the poet wrote 1.-THE Robbers" he re-
venged himself on Kuplig and the
Grisons by introducing this little
speech: ITO be a scamp you must
have genius. Moreover, special eli,
mate is needed for the growth Of
scamps. and to prove this l recon
mend you to visit the Grisons canton
1t is the veritable Athens Of moierr
rascality." In the later editions Of
1.-The Robbers" this quaint pit Of spleen
does not appear. 1t is suggested that
Schiller was not moved to expunge
1t by any remorseful feeling. but by q
very forcible protest from the resi-
dents of the abused canton against
this calumny.

Red Hair a Mark Of character.

"There never has been an important
revolutionary movement without a
red-haired person intimately con-
cerned. If not the leader" says a
writer. Nearly all the great reform
ers or founders of religions had red
hair; history mentions that Moham-
med was red-haired man. King Dav-
Id was ruddy. Louis XIV. was a san
dy-haired man with many of the char
acteristic peculiarities of the type.
Cleopatra is called the red-haired
Greek Mary Queen Of Scots had red
hair and Prince Charles resembled
her in coloring. Lucrezia Borgia looks
in her portraits somewhat auburn.
Queen Elizabeth was Of decidedly red
coloring, which will suit both her ad-
mirers and her detractors."

Thieves are reported to have been
systematically at work for months
among exhibits In the American Mu-
Beum of Natural History In New York.
Specimens Of gold ores of the great
Bement collection, presented to the in
stitution by j. Pierpont Morgan, valued
at $4,000, have been stolen and in their
place cheaper ones substituted. Ar
tistically gilded Jumps of coal and
stones are said to have been left in
place Of the loot. A Siberian collection
of implements and garments has been
deprived OF some of its best examples
and many valuable specimens are miss
ing from the butterfly cases. The theft
took place adjoining the alcove in
which Is collection of American gems
valued at 100000. also given to the
museum by Mr.. Morgan.
Extraordinary precautions are now
being taken by the museum officials to
protect the exhibits, many of which
have been overhauled and re-arranged
80 that they may be better guarded.

VAULT BUILT BY ROMANS.
English ArchaeoIosIsts Delighted over
Rare Find.

An old Roman vault has been I'M
covered at Chiswick, in England, by
workmen who were preparing for the
foundations of modern fat building.
Now the vault. with its red tiled floor
and other marks of Roman days, lies
open to the twentieth century skies.
The vault measures about fourteen or
fifteen feet each way and appears to
have been part Of the villa of some old
Roman centurion. 1t is directly be-
meath the cellars of old Sutton court,
a great place in the time of Cromwell.
Many pieces of valuable pottery of
centuries ago have been found, as well
as what is believed to have been part
of a subterranean passage between
Sutton court and the neighboring
Chiswick house. 1t is imagined that
the vault and passage figured in the
plots and counterplots Of the stormy
times of Cromwell when his third
daughter. the vigorous and strong
minded Maria, lived at Sutton court.

Too Many Meaningless Things.

The average house is too full of fur
niture and meaningless things.
Everything in the house that does
not add something to the convenience
happiness or education of the family
or some member of the family is an
extravaganza.
To be sure. every house needs a
vase or two for flowers. but so many
of these vases one sees are too fancy
for use and are good for nothiIy blu,
to stand upon the mantel and be dust

VALUE or COOL HEAD.
seIf-PossessIon One Of the Most Use
full Of All Traits.

The cool head conduces to 4 sue.
cessfui meeting Of emergencies with a
feeling that everything is going to
come out all right. The feeling Of
quiet, self-control In itself makes one
the better able to work toward the
good result.
To a mother this self-possessfon is
Invaluable. In a large family small
events calculated to upset the domes-
tic machinery constantly occur. To
the mother 1t seems to be a law OF
nature that children should continu-
ally have hairbreadth escapes and
come out within an inch Of their lives.
But is is equally law Of nature
that they should escape. And when
ever the critical moment arrives In
her own life or In the life of another.
1t is important for woman TO remem-
Der that the worst thing she can do
at that moment is to lose her head;
the best thing she can do Is to keep
her mind in control. To keep her
head cool means that she Is a help
instead OF a hindrance, an assistance
instead of drag.
In an emergency 1t is better to
seem heartless than to be inefficient.
Better the one person who stands
coolly by the sufferer and sees the
way to help him than the ten persons
who are ready to cry out and faint and
shed tears over his calamities and
pains. Affection and sympathy are
sometimes best proved by ignoring
them, particularly when the moment
arrives for action. not tears.-Philadel-
phia Inquirer.

The fact that one woman is bright

II there was one thing upon which
Balzac fiattered himself more than
another 1t was his skill in reading
character from handwriting.
But he made a sad mistake ON one
occasion. A lady brought him an ex-
tract from the exercise book of IL
year-old schooIboy, and asked him for
an opinion as to the youngsters char
acter and prospects. Balzac inquired
whether the child was her own. An
swered in the negative, he examined
the exercise carefully and delivered
his judgmnt.
Madame" he said. this child is
thick-headed and frivolous. He will
never come to any good. II he were

There has been a great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent OF the volume of
business transacted. There is no
doubt. however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900, before the agita-
tion regarding the beef trust" began.
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin Of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit Of S71 flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year. was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
tering and meat packing establish
ments In Illinois was only about one
third as large. or little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
Of being In a trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible In bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
acti, sly for the -four trade. but 1t APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits
Of the packers. 1t may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry will show the same result as

INDIAN TREATMENT or SICK.

In answer to inquiries as to the
meaning OF the word 1t was explained
that a pachofsha is feast and q part

ceremony conducted over the sick by
the lower class of ignorant Indians.
When a man is thought to be sick
enough to require the services of =
doctor he is put into a hut, and Cor
three days no one except the doctor
sees him. The doctor goes into the
woods and gathers herbs. from which
he prepares potion for the sick man
and then keeps a lonely vigil with him.
At the end OF the third day, II the pa
tient Is not improved. the order is CIV
en- to prepare pachofsha. Corn and
meat. either beef. pork or game. are
put In large kettle and stewed until
the corn is soft.
All the relatives of the sick man are
entitled to attend, and they gather
around the kettle for the feast. The
sick man is brought out and served
FIRST. He is fed as much as his stom-
ach can hold. and the otherE then turn
In and devour the remainder Of the
stew. When this is concluded bon
fire is built and lighted, and the crowd
circles around and dances to the tune

brought seeds with him, and the plant
rapidly spread through the new world.

above all, woman who has had
more experience in treating female ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases Of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years. day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence, especially when 1t is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con-
fideAce of women. and every tcstimo-
NAL letter published is done SO with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
