DIR. kOCH,S VISIT.

Few benefactors Of mankind haya
ever achieved such great services for
'helr 1ellowmen as DR.. Robert Koch,
the great German bacterologlst. For
years. DR.. Koch has sought to dis.
cover q serum cure for tuberculosis.
and though he has not effected This
process, he has added enormously to
the knowledge of the world as to the
best methods for fighting the white
plague Of Europe and America.
The steadily decreasing death rate
from tuberculosis where modern
methods for prevention are enforced
is the ineXpressible gift that the white
races have received from the labors
of DR.. Koch and his fellow students.
Though he is now score Of years be-
You'd DR.. osler's limit. this vigorous
German professor comes to America
fresh from eighteen months spent in
the heart OF Africa, on an island of
Lake Victoria Nyanza. 1t was on this
island that DR.. Koch pursued his
studies of the dread sleeping sickness.
and he believes that in "atoXile" he
has developed cure. After a short
visit to America, DIR. Koch will go to
Japan and India, where he will study
the bubonic plague, which Is the curse
of Asia. At an age when others are
seeking rest and retirement, it is an
inspiration to see this earnest worker
still following knowledge, like n
sinking star.
Beyond the utmost bounds Of human
thought"
If it is possible. America as a ma
ton should pay signal and deserved
Aonors to this great peacemaker be-
tween mankind and death, whose name
has already been honorcd In foreign
lands and placed high among holders
OF the Nobel prizes for services in the

LARGE JUDGMENTS PAID
Attorney John knauf Has Won Many
Important Railroad Damage 1.
Suits.
A. v. SWANSON

In Kauter VS.. Northern Pacific Rail
way Co. and in Hughes VS.. the same
corporation, judgmentsA aggregating
more than eight thousand dollars have
just been paid by the railway COM
pany. These were both personal in
jury cases and were tried at the
March, 1907, term of the Federal
Court before Judge Amidon.
7 In the case of Kauter the plaintiff
while working in the company's coal
pit at jamestown had raised up his
head and was struck in the eye by
piece of coal and the jury held the
company negligent in failing to keep
its coal elevator in sufficient repair.
In the Hughes case, the plaintiffs
husband had been injured by reason Of
an improperly loaded fiat car of lum-
Der and material.
John Knauf of this city represented
the plaintiff in each case, while Fall,
Watson & Young of Fargo represented
the railroad company.
Mr.. Knauf recently secured judg-
ments in six other personal injury and
fire cases in favor of some of his eli
ents against the same railway COM
pany. The people over the state gen
orally are learning that the campaign
claim of 1906 that Mr.. Knauf was a
corporation lawyer was not true. The
case of Bremen VS.. N. P. Ry. Co., a
personal injury case, at LaMoure, in
which Mr.. Knauf and Mr.. LaSell rep.
resented plaintiff, has been settled out
of court
Thus Mr.. Knauf continues to bring
additional cases to his long list Of sue
cesses as an anu-railroad lawyer
