The illustrated edition is approximately A5 format and comprises 32 pages. The cover picture shows Count-Regent Ernst zur Lippe-Biesterfeld , who died on September 26th . The contents of this issue range from “Our new competition, with prizes in cash of 1,000 marks” to a serial novel (“The Russian Spy, by Sergei D ...”) to detailed reports on the Russo-Japanese War .

Publisher Schleimer had a sense of satire. In an article on US politics, the author pokes fun at both American President Theodore Roosevelt and his new Secretary of War William Howard Taft : “Perhaps, some scoffers said, his new Secretary of State for War, Mr. Taft, has Roosevelt given the idea of ​​initiating a peace conference, because the old gentleman looks so honest, so very comfortable that he can be trusted to think about peace rather than war ... "Five years later, Taft himself became the 27th  President of the United States .
