ROCK ISLAND ELEVATOR.

Mr.. D. Atwood, general freight agent of
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail
road, WAS in the city yesterday and in an
swer to questions concerning the proposed
elevator TO be built in Wichita by the Rock
Island, said that he knew nothing definite
of the matter for the reason THAI the pro-
iect was being handled in the general SUI
perntendent's department. He had heard
it stated that the company intended to
construct large elevator at this point and
had understood that the preliminary ar
rangements were virtually completed.
He could see the expediency of such
course and had cut the figures
relative to the grain market of Wichita
out of Wednesdays EAGLE for future ref
erence. He did not suppose any railroad
company entering Wichita would for a
moment deny that another elevator would
greatly facilitate their business, but the
Rock Island he believed had gone so far as
to say they intended TO build one without
delay.
1t is well known fact that the elevator
project has been under consideration by
the Rock Island officials some time, and it
is known from several authoritative sources
that the work of building it will be COM
menced very soon.

HUMANE NOTES.

Agent Aspey, of the Humane society,
had occasion to kill a horse yesterday
which had been neglected by its owner
and was slowly starving TO death. Some
time ago a stranger brought feeble horse
to Mr.. j. J. MaXon's pasture and it was
refused admittance until the owner prom
ised to come and care for it daily. He has
never put in an appearance, however, and
it was learned yesterday that the poor
animal was slowly dying for the want of
food and water. As the horse did not
have strength enough to get up it was
thought merciful to Kill it, and the owner
will be arrested if he can he found.
\ report was filed with Agent Aspey
yesterday in regard to little boy on the
West Side but after investigation it was
thought best TO defer action little and
see how things would 20 in the future.

time ago Mr.. J. r, Mead presented the
academy with collection of fresh water
shells in Kansas. 1t contains at least one
specimen for each variety and is most in

What Is a Precious stone-what a Gem

What Is a Precious Stone-What a Gem?
What is a precious stone! Mr.. George
r. Kunz in his valuable book on Gems aud
Precious Stones of North America says in
reply to this query: Beauty of color, hard
ness and rarity are the essential qualities
which entltle mineral to be called pre-
cious.h Strictly speaking the only precious
stones are the diamond, ruby, sapphire and
emersl, though the term is often extended
to the opal, notwithstanding its lack OF
hardness, and to the pearl, which is,
strictly speaking, not a mineral, but an
animal product.
A gem, he continues, is popularity a
precious or semi-precious stone, especially
when cut or polished for ornamental pur-
poses. Originally the tsrIn designates a
class of minerals hard enough TO sersech
quartz without metallic 4usoeE. bat gener-
ally brilliant and beautiful. and includes
the semi precious or fancy stoneaSsueh as
the chryso bery1s, aleKandrites, tOurns-
lines, spinels and topaz ArthaeolSgIcally
the term is restricted TO engraved stones,
such as iptsglios and canoes. The term
jewel is applied TO a gem only after 1t has
been mounted.

Several days ago an article appeared in
these columns taken from the Denver Re
publican. in relation to some questionable
transactions in realty in which j. j,
Strickland was made 10 figure conspicu-
ously. The name of w. w. Charles. of
this city, was also mentioned in the same
connection as agent for Strickland. Mr.,
Charles calls our attention to this point
and gives very positive assurance that he
is placed in a false and compromising atti-
tude: that in point of fact he never met or
had any dealings with Strickland of any
character whatever Mr.. Charles says
that at one time he held two of Strick-
land ; deeds to Preside property that he
got hold of in some transactions with other
parties, but that he never, in Denver or
elsewhere, represented Strickland or the
property a. being his. This much IN jus
tice TO Mr.. Charles.

tanned their lady friends at the armory on
North Emporia. The program was opened
by an exhibition drill in order to show the

which was evidently enjoyed in spite Of
the warm weather The main feature of
the program was then announced in the
shape of an ice cream supper Several
large tables were loaded down with choice
fruits, cakes and ices, TO which all did
ample justice. The music was furnished
by the battery band and an enjoyable and
sociable evening was the result.

Panther and bear haunt that savage seclusion.
Hard are the ways where the gold seeker fares;
Mountain chains hurl'd in the widest confusion,
Fearful the odds that the gold seeker dares-
''Hops on" and Dare" are the watchwerds to

Shrinking not fearing not seeking not pratsoi
Iron hearts nersss-as OF steel shah preserve us,
Harvests of gold shall the wild mountains raise.
True to the death shall We be in our dealing;
Share what we have with another mans need;
Speak face 10 fnce without foar or conoeali1g,
Men in our word. mates, and men in our deed
Men in our earning and men in ogr spending,

made as complete and reliable as possible.

Yesterday between and 2 o'clock Mrs.
s. A. Pearson, living five miles north of
the city, inadvertently stepped in front OF
the electric car on Douglas, near Market,
and received slight injuries. Had it been
one of the old cars she would probably
have been hurt pretty badly, but as it was
the car was moving very slow and the
driver reversed the power, stopping the
car almost instantly. She had seen the
car coming and in her confusion had mis-
taken the track it was on and naturally
stepped the wrong way.
