star, bigger around than q trade dollar,
which sparkles with more than q hundred
diamonds. These diamonds are set in
gold, on brown gold and green enamel.
The star has five points, and there are
twenty-siX diamonds on each point. 1t
has q beautiful ribbon sash connected
with it, and it was given to Mrs. Cox
one night at the sultan's palace when
she went there with her husband TO din
ner and ate Turkish viands served up By
a French cook on gold plates. After the
dinner was over the sultan presented this
to her. She thought, l am told, that
she was to have it forever, but it seems
that his majesty only lends such presents
for life, and when she dies it is to be sent
back to him. The wife of Minister
Straus was presented with this same or
der, and l suppose that she will have
to return it in the distant future.
The sultan, l am told, has
some of the finest jewels in the world.
l met the other day lady who had Wis
tied his treasure chamber at Constantl-
nople, and she says she passed through
room after room packed full of gold and
precious stones. She described to me a
golden cradle in which the sultans of the
past have been rocked, and says that 1t
was of solid gold set with precious stones
She describes bed-quilt set with pearls
of all shapes and sizes, and says that
there are at least two bushels of hand
mirrors whose frames blaze with dia-
monds, which have been used by the
ladies of this harem. One of the big
gest emeralds in the word is in the sui
tan s vaults and though his whole coun-
try is bankrupt he has more than 81,
600 ,000 tied up in useless trinkets.
THE JEWELS OF sAvAGEs.
Cncle Sam has vast collection of the
jewels of savages. He has silverware
made by the Indians of Arizona, carved
ornaments fro a Alaska and great brace
let's and anklets of gold, silver and brass
from India. One of the most curious
necklaces in his collection is one of hu-
man fingers which the medicine men of
some OF the tribes wear, and l looked at
one to-day made of sixty-seven human
teeth with holes pierced at their roots TO
string them. This necklace was ten
inches long and q number of the teeth
evidently need filling. 1t came from the
Fiji Islands aud was found there in 1910.
Another necklace was made of human
hair, into which the tusk of the walrus
was woven. 1t was about two inches
thick and twenty inches long. Another
savage necklace is one of human and dog
teeth combined, and there are neck
laces of stone, OF gold, silver copper and
brass, of all shapes and sizes gathered
from all parts of the world.
1t is hard to appreciate the size of the
national museum. 1t is growing faster
than Jonah 3 gourd and it Is now one Of
the best organized museums in the
world. II surpasses auv other museum
in the line of Indian antiquities and mat
tiers connected with America. aud vast
additions from all parts of the world are
received every year. Already the build
ing " hich was constructed q few years
ago is packed TO bursting, and a new one
will have to built very soon.

DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
''The Peoples party" composed OF
900 delegates representing every county
in the state of Nebraska, has just held a
convention and put forth ticket and
platform. The only very marked feature
pronunciamentos are very much alike-is
the declaration that "the political ma
chinery in this state has been controlled
by corporate powers for the plundering
of the people and the enrichment of
itself. - In other words the state is
governed by corrupt rings and plumber
ing combines, all of course of the Re-
publican persuasion, and kept in power
by these self-same people who now de-
nounce them in public. That this in
dignant Peoples party convention is
still Republican, and still welded to its
idols, is evident from the fact that it de-
mands "liberal service pensions for the
surviving soldiers of the late war, - as
though Republican congress had not
already done as much in that direction
as safety to itself would permit. Not
word is said about the tariff, good or
bad. Pensions and more money is the
burden of their cry. In a week from
now nine-tenths of them would vote for
the most ultra and measly Republican
ticket. What hope for good is there in
such chicken hearted and whimpering
billiards? If they can't do any better
than that they would better remain in
side the party traces, and retain at least
the merit of consistency.

weatherford Anticipates an Immense Crowd
Next week-Maiieious Prosecution.
Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFoRp, TEX. July 81. With
the letters and kilograms received by the
committees of the Parsons brigade, Au-
gust and 7, from persons all over the
state stating they will be here, and max
ing inquiry as to rates on the different
railroads, it Is evident there will be about
the largest assembly ever gathered in
this city. There is considerable dissatis-
faction among the committees and the
people regarding the failure OF the rail-
roads to give a reasonable rate and to
have had the same published. THE GA
zETTE correspondent heard one of the
committee say yesterday evening in
speaking Of this, that be had all the time
opposed railroad commission, but he
had about become convinced that the
amendment should be adopted. 1t Is
thought yet that the rate will be made.
The many friends of Mr.. C. s. Mad
dux of this city are very much elated
over the result OF his trial before the Uni
ted States commissioner at Dallas yester-
day charged with violating the internal
revenue law las his acquital by that court
thoroughly vindicates Mr.. Maddux of
that charge and places the parties in
yestigating this charge in their proper
light before the community. 1t is now
clear that the charge must have been
made with malice and intent to injurs
MIR. Maddux by some of those whom he
had formerly befriended. Mr.. Maddux
was charged with shipping peach brandy
from Georgia and selling it out to parties
here. THE GAZETTE correspondent has
learned from DR.. Valentine and Others
that the facts in the case were: That
Mr.. Maddux, G. G. Baker and others
dubbed together and sent to Georgia to
some one whom Mr.. Maddux knew and
who had a distillery and had four or
five gallons of the brandy shipped, get
ting Mr.. Maddux to attend to the matter
for them; that when the brandy came
MIR. Baker decided not to take his.
About the time L. r. Ray was trying to
get some pure whisky or brandy for a
sick friend. BY permission from Mr..
Baker he got his (Baker's) gallon aud
paid Mr.. Maddux the money, who sent
it, together with that paid by other par
ties, to pay for the brandy. 1t seems
now that one of Mr.. Maddux's
neighbors has recently fallen out
even with him by reporting him
for selling brandy or whisky without
license, and to at least, II nothing else,
put him to all the trouble and expense
he could. MI. Maddux's friends are
proud OF this vindicatIon by the courts
of the country.

Arrest on Charge OF Robbery.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, July 3I.-Some excite
ment was caused last night by the at
tempt of one Jim Drake, a stone cutter,
to kidnap Lonnie, the seven-year- old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. j e. Stone. Lon
ME had accompanied the hostler, Jake
Sego, down town, and while sitting IN
front of the Pacific hotel was approached
by Drake, who persuaded him to go with
him TO shop near by to get me candy.
Jake Sego was inside the hotel at the
time, but soon discovered the absence of
Lonnie and began the search. He found
his charge in the arms of Drake, who,
despite the struggles and smothered
screams OF the little one, was bearing
him away toward the banks of Waco
creek. The boy was rescued and Drake
was jailed. No one knows what fate
was in store for the little fellow.
Constable Lee jenkins arrested Phil
llpe Beltran this morning on charge of
robbery. Beltran is negro. He is a
bright negro. That means that he is q
"yaIlow feller,'' one of the fine-haired
sort, and he has an extensive acqusin-
tanoe with the Waco and McLennan
county criminal officers. Kittie Thomp-
son, a white girl, came to Mr.. Jenkins
this morning and told him she had been
robbed of $50 and she believed this negro
Beltran had her money. Jenkens ar
rested Beltran, but he denied having the
money. MIR. Jenkins went to Sophia
Beltran PHILIPPE 8 mother, and demanded
that money her son had left with her,
whereupon to the establishment of the
officer, the woman handed him S45 in
cash, stating that that was all her boy
had given her. The money was identi-
fie and Beltrau ''peached' on his pal
who he says got the other SIS. but the
officers have not apprehended him yet.

this state and the two Dakota's confirm
the discouraging crop prospects, owing
to the lack of rains in many places
where the outlook for O large yield has
been very favorable, has fallen % per
cent. in three days. In numerous
points in North Dakota, especially along
the Northern Pacific west from Fargo,
the crop is seriously injured, and in
many districts the farmers will hardly be
able to regain their seed. The average
crop at many points cannot possibly ex-
coed eight to twelve bushels per acre;
on the other hand, in some other districts
which have not been affected by the hot
winds the crops are reported to be the
