Then in view Of the fact that Kansas

Now, therefore, 1, 1. NJ. Morris, pres

There was good and representative
attendance of business men present
this afternoon at the mayors Office to
take action on the immigration bu-
reau matter and to appoint director
for Dickinson county for the state or
ganiZation.
Col ]. 81. Brady presided and J. D.
McMaster was called on to read the res
olutions adopted at Wichita, which he
did.
There was also read by NJ. NJ. Shipe
letter from the executive committee
of the state immigration bureau urging
that delegate be chosen from Dickin-
son county.
Mayor Lebold then explained more
fully the undertakings and aims of the
present movement. In his remarks
and those of others who participated
in the discussion there was urged that
the effort made be not in the nature of
the old boom" schemes but an honest
and fair placing of the state and coun-
ty before the people of the older COM
monwealths. The necessity of earnest,
straightforward, united action was en-
phasized and the heartiest of good feel
ing and enthusiasm for Abilene's best
interests was noted.
On motion Geo. w. Sterl was chosen
to represent this county on the board
of directors.
This state movement will undoubt-
edly result in great benefit to Kansas,
and with Mr.. Sterl as director for Dick
inson county her interests will be well
looked after.

Harrington Times: We understand
a movement is on foot to establish a
cooperative store under the auspices
of the farmers alliance of this county.
Those who invested their good cash in
the Grange Elevator a few years ago
ought to give bit of their advice and
experience to the farmers who are con-
templating such a scheme. The ad-
vice would certainly be timely whether
it would be needed or not.

dangerous condition than it remains at
present.
Manchester Sun: In order to be-
comea member of the farmers alliance,
as near as we can learn, you have to be
over sixteen years old, resident of the
state six months, have a good moral
character, and a believer in the Su-
preme Being. Nobody is eligible, after
coming up to those requirements, IN
less he be a farmer, a farm lahorer,
country mechanic, country minister of
the gospel, country school teacher or
country physician,

APPRAIsEMENT REPORTS.
The Value Of LebOId & Fishers West
ern Lands Being Estimated.

The district clerk has received from
the appraisers Of the assets of LebOld
& Fisher situated in Ellis, Trego, Rush
and Ness counties report of the value
they have decided is correct for the
lands owned by the defunct firm in
those counties. The gentlemen who
have had the task of making the ap-
praisement are G. G. Brosius and Thos.
Jones, of Hays City, they having been
appointed by the court for the purpose.
Their report places the following val
ues: G. H. Lebold, go lots in Hays
City, S53 ,295; land in Ellis county,
SIS, ITO; Rush county, $4,000; lots in
La Crosse, s., 800; total, $50, 1855. These
are mortgaged for $4,000. J. NJ.
Fisher, land in Trego county, $4,000,
mortgaged for "a, 200. Lebold s. FISHER,
land in Ellis county, 81, $50; Rush, 5000;
Ness, 81, ZOO; total, $7,45O. Grand to-
tai, $103,Sl5. The appraisement OF
other assets will be made soon.
It can hardly be considered otherwise
than that the appraisers who have re-
ported have put very generous values
upon the lands and lots and the reports
of the other assets will be looked fol-
with interest. 1t must be remembered
that the appraisement and the actual
cash to be realized from the properties
are two very different things.

Light Absorbing Diamonds.

The Journal of the Franklin Insti-
tute contains a paper on precious stones
by George T. Kunz, who describes
some exceedingly interesting and beau
tiful experiments on phosphorescent
diamonds which he was enabled to
make in Paris during the exposition
through the courtesy of prominent
scientific men. A dark room was pro-
vided in which was placed a collection
of over $50 diamonds In side of the
wall a lens was inserted, and outside
of the room a new alternating arc lamp
of the Thomson-H Houston system was
hung.
The lens which was employed to con-
centrate the light was covered with a
violet colored GLASS, so that only ultra
violet rays fex on the gems, of which
but three of the entire number proved
to be phosphorescent. All the others
assumed a beautiful violet tint The
two stones whose phosphorescence was
most marked were perfectly transpar-
ent white stones czaa having sluish
tinge. Mr. KuDE ~ayz. Tins phos-
phorescence exhibited by these stones
was extremely beautiful. 1t remained
visible when a metallic can was put
over the lens-gradually losing its in
tensity, however-for fifteen minutes
after the exposure. All the other
stones were invisible in the dark
