SLEEPING CARS IN RUSSIA.

Sleeping cars in Russia are not models
Of comfort. You must furnish your
own bed clothing, pillows, wraps and
towels, and all travellers in Russia, as a
general thing, have them, you are not
much incOmmOded, except at times
when you cannot undress. The great
trouble is from the unusual amount of
bundles and traps of all sorts that pas
sengers are permitted to take into the
cars with them, Oftentimes thereby
infringing upon the rights of others in
occupying all the racks and most of
the desirable seats, specially so when
often upon trains of from 10 to ~ pas
senger cars there is no more than one
half of a car allotted to f~rst-class pas
Sengers. The first-class half is painted
blue outside and numbered, and the
other half drab, also numbered as to
class. You are also annoyed at the
clouds of cigarette smoke, caused by
the general habit of smoking in the
cars, at table and almost everywhere
else. There are no smoking-rOOms,
not even in the hotels. Women, with
cut regard to rank, all join in. Travel
is generally by secOnd-class; the peas
ants by the third with very little diff
ference, except in fare, between the
first and second class. In the first
you have o. elbow room and free
dom from bundles. Should you be
lucky enough to secure ahead the ex-
elusive use of a compartment you can
be very comfortable indeed.

o DIAMONDS.

Research into the history of diamonds
and diamond discoveries discloses some
very remarkable facts. Alas! how
often the story of a diamond is the
story of a crime, perhaps treason or
homicide! Dynasties have been over
thrown, empires bought and sold,
royalty imprisoned and even poisoned,
and almost every species of tragedy
enacted, for the sake of this little gilt
tering bauble of the earth. But, then,
are not diamonds worth than
human life?
What is a diamond? The diamond,
derived from the Greek "adamant, is
the hardest and most highly valued of
all known substances. 1t is simply
carbon c~rystallized and in it's greatest
purity. Itbecomes electric by friction,
and when cut and polished is lustrous
beyond description. WhOhas not been
dazzled by it?
Diamonds are found in alluvial soils,
in the sands of rivers, and in quartz,
sandstone, n cOnglomerate, where they
are sometimes associated with gold.
India, South Africa, the Brazils, the
Ural Mountains, GOlcOnda, Malacca,
Borneo, Australia, Algiers and even
North Carolina and Georgia, have been
Ol uIl6 uldLllOlIuS. LII GILL
produces yearly from twenty-five to
thirty thOusond carats of diamonds,
although not more than One-third of
these are capable of being cut. The
vast and dust of diamonds is called
bort.
Diamonds are ground into curious
shapes: the brilliant form is the best
to bring out the beauty of the stone.
The greater the number of facets, the
the greater the value of the gem There
are also s and table diamonds.
Dalbeck, a Dutchman, was the first to
invent, in the beginning of the nine
teenth century, the art of saving dia-
mOnds when their depth was too great
for their surfaces. On account of the
numerous recent discoveries of dia-
monds in various parts of the earth,
they are not now held to be of nearly
the same value that they were in the
former primitive ages of their procure
ment.
Diamonds are found of divers colors.
We have the yellow, black, blue, and
even a few red diamonds, although a
frst-cIass white diamond is the rearest
and most precious of them all. The
Star of Diamonds, from South Africa,
Dieulafait describes as a lovely stone,
which attracted attention by revealing
under the microscope a prospect of
pointed mountain-crests lit up by vivid
sunlight in all the colOrs of the rain

"THE COMMONWEALTH OF
JESUS"

Arthur M. Dove and some others,
say the San Francisco Chronicle, have
founded THE Commonwealth of
Jesus" which will be an attemp to
carry out the nationalist idea of co,
operation, in the name of the Lord
The Commonwealth is to be the sole
employer of the time and labor of the
members, and the sole provder of the
necessities and comforts of life. All,
no matter what THAR talents or ser
vices may be, r to be paid equally in
checks receivable for goods. The coun-
Gil shall adjust all differences and hear
all compliments, and members must
bind themselves not to appeal to any
civil court. Dove says: The details
of u plans for the practical starting
of the society are not perfected. We
will probably first establish a lodging
house and restaurant on the co-opera-
tive plan, giving each member food
and shelter at the lowest possible cost.
DepOts or stores for supplying clothing,
etc, will probably follow. We will
start early in the spring with what

place in our hands.-Ne1U Nation.

Missouri Fruit.

The Gem City fruit farm, near
Nevada, contains so acres. Il was
purchased six years ego at $50 an
acre and is now valued at $3.50 an
acre. 1t requires 200 hands to
gather the strawberry crop. The
ground yields 3,400 quarts to the
acre, the value of which is $3.50.
A crate of berries on an average .
will net 81, %. The cost of cult
waiting the crop is So an acre.
The cost of the boxes in which the
berries are packed is 40 cents a
1000. Strawberry plants set out
one year will bear the next. 1t is
estimated that the amount of mon
ey which will be brought into Ne

alone will be about S25,000.

It was rot that The neonle

Ii WAS not that the people I
did not want court house that
caused the bond proposition to be
voted down, nor WAS it because of
the location which the proposition
carried with it. While some do
not favor bonded indebtedness
for any purpose, it is safe to say
that tbree-fourths of those who
voted against the proposition
wanted b court house, and consid-
eged $4,000 a reasonable amount
to be expended for the purpose Of
building one. But it was the un-
certainty connected with the mat
ter that caused the hesitation.
The people dld not know what
they were to get for their money.
They had been told that, if the
bonds were voted, the $4,000
would be expended before the
building was half completed, and
that they would be called on for
5000 more to save the first
amount. Now, let the county
court mploy q reliable architect
to furnish plans for court house
and an estimate of its cost. When
completed let the plan and esti'
mate be placed where they can be
inspected by each voter in the
county if he so desires. By thit
method the people will know wha
they are to vote for, and when they
understand this they will lose ne
time il making known the fac
that they are not afraid of an in
debtedness of $4,000, when it ii
70 give Adair a safe and respecta
place for its records.

TO Teachers
LeNI JIIUIICh!
Sec. State Board Of Agriculture

La the name of educational pro-
gress in Adair county, ! appeal to
you to help make the institute of
Adair county a success this sum-
mer.
Adair county is regarded by the
surrounding counties as an educa-
tional center, and hence necessari-
ly IN advance in her district
schools and matters OF education
Whether this is so or not, ID not
tor me to say.
Certain it is, it remains for you,
teachers of Adair county, either
to place her in the trout rank or
to make her a by word and shame
among the wide awake counties of
the state.
The time has come, when Mis-
souri, must take her place in the
march Of educational advance
ment, and the teachers of Adair
county must either get in line and
keep pace with this movement, or
"step down and OUT and give
place to those who are willing to
fiji themselves, that they may
worthily bear the honored name
OF teacher.
The last General Assembly gave
the state the "text book law one
of the best school laws ever enact
ed in the state. BY it every dis
trict school in the state will be
compelled to use the same text
book, thereby saving to the people
of Missouri, thousands of dollars
annually. This law renders the
grading of district schools, one
Of the hardest problems the educa-
tore Of the state have had to solve,
now comparatively easy. This
will be made special feature of
the Institute, together with
"school management A pro-
gram for daily work in the county
schools will be presented to the
teachers with view to having
uniformity of work, throughout
the entire county. The complaint
is often made by school boards
that every teacher has a different
method of school management,
thus causing much valuable time
TO be lost to the pupils in getting
III line with the teacher.
All this can be obviated, and all
the worry and vexetion Of spirit
be saved the teachers, if they have
one uniform method of school
management. All these will be
discussed at the Institute meeting
at Alrksville July 29th. and con
tinue four weeks under the
management of al able conductor
and trained Instructors.
Teachers OF AdoiT county, come
out and put yourselves in line
with this onward movement. You
can't afford to stay away IF you
fail to attend these training
schools, make up your minds to
quit teaching IN Adair county.

GOODWIN'S FORGED CHECKS.
CAREER OF A MAN WHO vICTIMIZED A
GREAT MANY BANKS.

The Plausible Story He Told Many People
About His Wealthy Connections in Eng
land-He Pretended to Be a Physician
and Did Practice Medicine.
SYRACUSE, May 3.-Dr. r. G. Goodwin,
who has been arrested in Cincinnati, charged
with forging checks on various banks
throughout the country, one Of which,
signed J. P. Hickman. had been honored at
the State Bank of Commerce of Henderson
vile, N. c.. has local history of romantic
interest. Goodwin excused his crime on
the ground that expected remittances from
his family in England having failed him,
he was driven to desperation. The occasion
of his neglect by his family, he said, was his
secret marriage two years ago to Miss Bah
cock, of Syracuse.
Goodwin lived in Syracuse short time
previous to his marriage, which, as matter of
fact. was not Miss Babcock, but Miss Amy
Clifford, niece OF John Babcock, an insur-
ance agent. Miss Clifford was the daughter
of Harry Clifford, formerly of this city, but
now OF Chicago, and niece of Miss Clifford,
the American sculptress, resident in Rome.
Her marriage to Goodwin was a hasty
affair, and followed closely upon divorce
from former husband With whom she eloped.
Goodwin had been forbidden the house by
the relations of the girl, but he persuaded
her to marry him clandestinely, he beIiev-
ing that she was an heiress. The ceremony
was performed at st. Pauls Cathedral one
morning by the Rev. H. P. Fuller, the
assistant rector.
Goodwin is man of good address and
evidently of respectable parentage. While
here he was in extreme impecunious circum-
stances, but had knack of making loans
from friends without exciting their suspi-
cion. After his marriage to Miss Clifford he
boasted of having made an alliance with
leading family and attempted to trade on
that fact When he left here with his wife,
it was with the announced intention of 60
ing to his estates in England. Though let
ters were subsequently received from him
postmarked London. it. is believed he went
directly to Richmond, Va, where he had
previously been and sent the letters to Lon
don to be remailed. He pretended to be
and may have been doctor and essayed to
practice here. He was also employed as
clerk in the Office of local manufacturing
company. Since leaving Syracuse it is
known that he practiced medicine in the
South and later in Chicago. He has lately
been going under the name OF r. c. Holston.
He has been fugitive from Hendersonville
since February, when his forgeries were dis
covered

PRINCE BIsMARcK's VICTORY
Compared to That of His Predecessor 1t Is
Nothing to Boast or

Compared to That of His Predecessor 1t Is
Nothing to Boast or
BERLIN, May 3.-Prince Bismarck s
victory in Geestemunde is modified by the
fact that he polled 1000 fewer votes than did
his National Liberal predecessor in the seat
The Socialist ballot was reinforced by over
1000 Guelphist and Freisinnige voters,
whose hatred of the Prince exceeded their
dislike of the Socialists.
The Prince, in an interview on the eve Of
the re-ballot, declared that if he went to
the Reichstag he would never attack any
policy directly initiated by the Emperor,
and that his line Of conduct would be
the same as that followed by him since
he left Berlin. He was convinced,
he said, that the greatest danger to
the Fatherland was not from without, but
from within. He would not refrain from
exposing it, but he certainly would never
say anything to give his opponents reason
10 charge him with attacking the Emperor
from personal motives. This sort of assur-
ances promises lively times in the Reich
stag.
Prince Bismarck to-day received depu-
tation from the National Liberal Committee
at Geestemunde. He accepted the mandate,
and thanked the delegates warmly for the
honor which had been conferred on him.

Some Reasons Why Merchants of This Cour.
try DO Not Get Any.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The Bureau Of
the American Republic furnishes the fol-
lowing extract from private letter from
an old merchant in Honduras, which con-
tains suggestions to exporters in this country:
There exists another reason that could be
well added TO those you give for the failure of
the merchants of tbe.United States to capture
the Latin-Amerlcan trade That they do not
send out reliable agents. who can speak the
language and are well acquainted with
the habits. tastes and wants of
the people, English and German
houses avail themselves of the services of
such men and the consequence is they get bust
ness. AS an instance of this. few months
since commercial traveller came to this CITY,
He represented several manufacturers and
shipping houses three German and two
English. He STAYED in the city two weeks and
sold s45, 600 worth of goods.
He had heen about II months on his journey
through Venezuela, United States of Colom-
bia, Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras and
in that time he sold more than $1,000 600 worth
of goods, as he proved to me by his order book.
He was going from here 10 Salvador, Guate-
mala ana Mexico. and said he expected by the
time he reached the end of his route to have
sold $500, 600 more
