MI^NEAPQCIS JOURNAL NEW UL URDER LiPDRJtRbEITS CIRCUMSTANC ES O TWO CRIMES NEARLY IDENTICAL. In 1857 a New Yorl? Dentist Was' Killed in Same Manner In Which Dr. Geb hard Was MurderedWitness to Other Crime Was Named BrooksMurderer Unknown. A startling similarity exists between the circumstances surrounding the mur der of Dr. L. A. Gebhard, the dentist, at New LHm, Nov 1 last, and those un der which Dr. Harvey Burdell, a dentist of New York, met his tragic fate Jan. 30, 1857. So identical ai many of the details of the two murders that the coincidence has caused wide remark among those fa miliar with the earlier crime, and is a new proot of the old contention that historv repeats itself. I the New York, as in the New TJlm murder, mystery en shrouded the guilty party. Mrs. Cun ningham was tried for Dr. Burdell's murder. Sh was acquitted and the mystery remained unsolved. Dr. Koch is now on trial for Dr.'Gebhard's death and the query naturally arises: Will it ever be known who lulled the New TJlm dentist Tn a recent number of the Era, under the'caption^ '"Mysterious De"ath th cut a( troduction by her mother, held out_her sitting in a chair by his dental in strument case when attacked.

Tn the room where the body was found the walls were smeared with blood and pools of blood were on the floor. Blood was found on the operating chair and on a case of dental tools.

A agitation is on foot in the east for the bringing of suit against H. Rogers, the Standard Oil mag nate, and. George Whitson, former cash ier of the National City bank of New York. About forty-three million of money was lost by the all-wise speculators, who followed what was probably the greatest "bum" tip that ever came out of Wall street, Minneapolis tape crimp ers contributed their snare. I the fall of 1901 George Whitson, who as cashier of the largest bank in the United States, had a high financial position, swung around the country, visiting Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Oma ha.

In cidentally he confided to those who whom he became intimate, that Amal gamated, if it ever we nt down to, 90wrote was a good buy. From such a source this was taken as the real thing. The National City is the "Standard Oil" bank. Rogers is "Standard Oil." Whitson was close to Rogers. I ever there was an inside proposition it was this. How much Amalgamated the Mmne apolitans who hobnobbed with Mr. Whitson bought will never be known, but they took on enough to hurt some when it fell 30 points with a bang.

CHEERING ASSURANCE IN AN AMBULANCE iCharley Van Campen, the old-time star of the Minnesota varsity football team, has just left one of the local hos pitals after undergoing what the sur geons termed a "highly successfu l" operation for appendicitis. I connec tion with Van Campen's sojourn at the hospital is a little story of an affair which happened on the way. Van Campen had been a sick man for several days. Th "inner man" was evidently on a strike and was at tempting to kick out the outer wall of the abdomen which had been so often stepped on and bumped by the adherents of Wisconsin and the strong arm artists of Nebraska universities. Charles had a painand a bad one. was examined by the man of lan cets, who decided that the deadly ver miformus appendix was ghost dancing and must be removed from the reser vation. Van Campen was informed of the decision. boarded an ambulance and started to one of those places where they "do things" to a man. A friend, not believing that Charles was going so far that he would never come back, a note and called a messenger boy. The boy was instructed to follow the ambulance, and wh en within a stone's throw of the hospital the mounted mes senger stopped the ambulance and sosurgeons. licitously inquired if "Mr. Van Campen was in?" Van Campen groaned out that he was very muchabout all in, in fact. The messenger handed in the note over the dashboard of the ambulance. Van Campen rolled over on his back and opened the note. growled and threw the note on the floor of the am bulance. "Drive on!" he ordered. While Van Campen was on the oper ating table a stable boy picked up the note from the floor of the ambulance. I read: "Cheer up Charley thfe is no hell!" This, however, had nothing to with his rapid convalescence. do CHURCH DEDICATED Exercises at Hobart Memorial Meth odist's New Building.

AT HEIGHT OF HER GLORY Melba, Wh Will Sing Here, Achieved Greatest Success the Past Year. 1 Within the past year Melba has reached the climax of her artistic glory. In view of her past successes thruoiit^. Europe and America this is saying much, but there is proof that it is true. During her London season last summer she developed such surprising bril liancies in her operatic endeavors that the music lovers assembled in London from all parts of Europe and paid her astounding honors. Fo singing in private at two affairs in the highest life in London, she received the unheard-of sum of 1,000 guineas, or $5,000. Melba is a hard and-wUling worker and is so much sought.after for public performances that she has but little time left for home life. After her suc cess in London she enjoyed a brief reet at her home in Paris and then started on her present American tour. Sh will hot have another respite until after the close of the convent Garden season in London next summer. On the present tour Melba will be surrounded by a most admirable com pany of renowned artists who will ap pear with her at the Lyceum. He as sociates are Ellison Van Hosse, whose tenor voice has thrilled two continents Charles Gilibert, the great French bary tone Signorina Ada Sassoli, an Italian girl of scarcely 16, whom Melba heard at Milan, marveled over, and then chose from all the harpists of the world to ac company her on her tour Mr. Nort h, who stands second to none as a master of the flute and Miss Llewella Davies, an English girl who has been with Melba on many of her trips as the ac companist for her greatest songs.
