I AD example of what unthinking and
irresponsible people will do for a few
"cents is given in the Minneapolis
Journal of a recent date by the pub
lication of an article purporting to
^ome from this city to the effect that
one of the brothers of the mother of
-Geo. Koch was a murderer, stating
ihat the matter had been thoroughly
-investigated and it was true and-would
be used to establish the fact at the
next trial, that the passion for mur
der was inherited in Dr. Koch.
JHEW UL,M E I W

The article is a vicious piece of in
famy, that has no foundation in fact
and is a libel of the most criminal
kind, for the mother of Dr. Koch had
no brothers, according to the state
ments of those who are supposed to
know, and the only thing that could
give rise to the article is the fact that
a nephew of Dr. Koch's grandfather,
did kill a man in self-defense and did
serve a few years in the state peniten
tiary for manslaugbterr
If, as the article referred to states,
it was a deed more heartless than the
murder of Dr. Gebhardt, there could
have been no sentence of manslaughter.
There is only one penalty in this state
for crimes of that sort and that is
death.
If the motive for such wholesale ly
ing is simply to^make a few cents it
shows a depravity of mind that is be
yond comprehension, and if the pur
pose*comes from a desire to influence
prospective jurors it is baser yet.
Lt is to be hoped that it did not come
from any source in this city.
The same article, with a little varia
tion, appears in the last issue of the
Brown County Journal and also the
New Ulm News, portrayed with .start-'
A prominent member of the beef
packers' combine has been indicted by
the federal grand jury-in Chicago. In
dictments are hanging over the heads
of several of his conferers. The pro
ceedings are being conducted with con
siderable secrecy, but the men who are
being hit know what is going on in
their ease. Thus far the proceedings
against the packers are for conspiracy,
or alleged conspiracy, on the charge
of trampering with the witnesses in the
beef trust case. The examinations on
charges which involve the actual viola
tion of the antitrust Jaw are also .un
der way.
SHAMELESSNESS OF STRING FIENDS
It is on the ground that ..they in
fringe Ihe antitrust law that the pack
ers have most to fear from the federal
authority. Several suits have already
gone ag"ainsfc them, and these indicate
that on criminal proceedings, which
are now being instituted, they are open
to very serious assault. The pretense
of their lawyers that they are not
members of a trust is vain. The courts
have found that there is a beef trust,
and that it is composed of certain cor-

ALL EQUAL IN LAW
The Review was unable to get a re
port of a recent meeting of the pro
moters of the Independent telephone
company because, taking the word of
the president of the company as reli
able, the reporter did as he requested
and left the hall. Mr. Liesch as a
newspaper man is perhaps entitled to
this privilege and any advantage he
can secure by such tactics he is at li
berty to use to his advantage. It
seems to be his forte to take advant
age of circumstances in the most un
scrupulous manner to assist his busi
ness, but as the president of a tele^
phone company, representing most of
the business men of the city, he is
Wsing his office for a purpose that
shows how infinitely small is his ap
preciation of what is right and just.
There is very little possibility and
less probability that the matter will be
brought up in the trial. It is too far
fetched to be considered and the only
attention that will be paid to it will be
that caused by the insane desire of
these papers to establish a record of
shameless cruelty and vulture-like
rapacity in securing their sensational
stories.
Is it not enough for the papers of this
city that an o\i man's heart is nearly
breaking because of the sorrow the
necessity of this defense has forced iip
onhim?,f j^ $g^
it not sufficient that the relatives
of the defendant in this case have, in
the actual facts connected with the
case, enough of the cross of sadness to
bear?
The least that can be..,-said of the
action of these papers in this little
city where each man is neighbor to
each otheV, is that it is not news, it is
heaping insult upon injury, and at
tempting to biacken the character of
an honorable family by trying to
stretch over its history the deeds of a
man so distantly removed from it that
there is not the slightest connection,
more than there is in the story that
most of us are. descendants of the in
glorious Cain.
2 It is possible that we may be mis^
taken in what constitutes news but if it
is necessary to stoop to such methods
as is demonstrated in the Liesch school
of journalism then we have to admit
that we have made a dismal failure of
the business. 7
porations. The particular personages
who are to be dealt with by the federal
courts in the criminal prosecution are
members ©f these companies. They
are malefactors in the eye of the law.
SAID MEETING WAS PRIVATE
The prosecution of a few of the beef
packers will be a fine lesson for the
country. It will show the people, in
cluding those who are members of the
big combines, that the richest and the
poorest are on an absolute equality in
this country in the eye of the law. If
the individual packers who are being
assailed are found guilty, they will
have to meet the punishment pre
scribed by the 'statute. President
Roosevelt stands behind the courts in
New York and Chicago which are pro
ceeding against the^beef combiner His
earnestness and courage in his crusade
for the enforcement of the laws brought
the Northern Securities company to
grief a year ago, and hit the beef trust
at an earlier and a later date. It is a
criminal prosecution which is being
waged this time, and if guilt is fasten
ed on the accused persons nothing will
save them from going behind the bars.
own lies would not convince the young
man he employed his own reporter to
lie to him and the two of them succeed
ed in getting him out of the hall.
Wasn't it a beautiful specimen of a
just and great man, who for the past
months has been prating about the
dignity of truth?
What pride the members of the com
pany he represents must take in the
action of their president?
We presume that Mr. Liesch and his
reporter got together and laughed
over the matter, and called it a good
joke, but the president of the telephone
company is stooping to very small
ends to frame a joke for himself. It
was in plain English a dirty piece of
business and if it is a sample of the
work he is going to do as president of
the telephone company, the sooner the
promoters get a man in the office the
better off thev will be. S~r"- ,„.
Smoking of cigarets and the sale of
cigarets will continue in this state as
the bill to prohibit the same has been
killed. Some arrangement to compel
parents to properly look after their
offspring would do more towards
stopping this vile habit than an at
tempt to prevent the sale of the filthy
things in the state. s«5.
The defense put up by Mr. Rogers
for the Standard Oil company might
puzzle a justice of the peace in some
western town of less than 300 inha
bitants, but it will not stand the cold
logic of public opinion.

Evangelical Association Decides to

Purchases Lots and Layys Plans
For Erection of Building.
Location to be on Corner of Wash
ington and First St. South.
The Hauenstein property7 d~n the
corner of Washington and First street
north was transferred yesterday to the
Evangelical Association of this eity,
the transfer being made for the pur-,
-pose of the erection of a church
building.
It is the purpose oflhe Association
to incorporate in this city and become
independent of the adjoining organ
izations and set-to-work to build up
that branch of the,.religious denomi
nations of the citj%~~
As soon as the preliminary business
of the organization is completed and
the plans of the church building ar
ranged, preparation will be made to
begin the erection of a structure that
is to cost in the neighborhood of $5000.
The plans will call for a neat and en
tirely modern church building with an
incline floor and circular pews, the
entire building to be heated through
out with a furnace. I S ^Wpl
In connection with the church build
ing there is to be a parsonage for the
use of the resident minister. It is to
be located on part of the same lots
-and will be arranged with reference to
the comfort and convenience of the
pastor.**.» «•'.,*,•*•„*.' -*,«
Presiding Elder Rev. Stapf of Man
kato, was in the city yesterday and in
connection with Rev. Isker and A.
F. Redman of this city, completed the
details of the purchase of the property
for the building." After the incorpora
tion of the Association there will be a
building committee appointed to look
after the erection -and completion of the
plans under" consideration, and before
snow flies there will be a neat building
on the present vacant lots." -"•''•.'
The seriousness of the crime with
which Mr. Liesch is charged is made
doubly.so by the vicious persistency
he has maintained since the arrest of
Dr. Koch, in an apparent attempt to
prejudice the minds of people against"
a man whose life depends on the. de
cision twelve of these men must give.
Such a purpose is beneath contempt.
It ought to be held conspiracy to mur
der. It is placing a helpless man in
a position where justice cannot reach
him. -For such an offense there should
be only a prison sentence, at least for
such a time as is necessary to give
the man against whom he has such an
tipathy, a chance for his life.
Sleepy Eye did well in electing I. M.
Olsen to the ©ftice of mayor for. the
second time. He has made a competent
official and his return is an evidence
of recognition on the part of the peo
ple of that place that his work, has
been satisfactory. ."„' ',

GOOD PLAY SCHEDULED
"A "Royal Slave" Gives Excellent
Satisfaction.
Grand"' Scenic Production "Wins
Words of Commendation.
Presented in NewUlmon Saturday
Evening, April 15th. -.
Advance notices of the appearance
of the Royal Slave, have appeared in
the papers of this city for the past two
or three weeks, to the effect that the
splendid organization would be at
-Turner theatre on the loth of April',
which is Saturday evening, and it is'
anticipated that at "that time there
will be a good audience.
'-The Royal Slave" is one of the very
best scenic productions that is on the
road. It is one of the best of Gordon
& Bennetts celebrated plays and never
fails to attract wherever it is-produced.
It has never been in this city, but last
season it was played in" Mankato and
gave excellent satisfaction and will be
reproduced there again this year.
While the play itself is excellent the
special features of the -production is
the scenie effects and the costumes,
which are rich and add to the power
of the drama. The scene is laid in
Mexico and brings .out much of the
romance and tragedy of that xomantic
country, something that-is new to the
people of this*citv. pi "HpiSIgi^
Manager Johnsori~of Turner theatre
does not hesitate in giving this play
his hearty recommendation and as
sures the theatre goers that they will
not be disappointed if they go and^that
they will be if they do not.
Tickets are now on sale at the City
Drugstore and "it is advisable to get
seats as early as possible and make
arrangements to see something of real
merit and true worth.
A novel feature in connection with
this entertainment will be the matinee
that is lib be held at 2:30 p. m. It is
what is called a "Ladies' and Child
ren's Bargain Matinee." The same
production will be given and the prices
will be 15 and 25.cents.-.
Prices for the evening performance
are 25, 50 and 75 cents, and tickets are
