No New DEVELOPMENTS.

KEoKuK, To-, Aug. 13.-There are no
developments in the matter OF Schwcin-
furth transporting his Rockford
heaven to this locality or establishing
branch paradise here. The county

real estate transfers have been signed

H. Bogue, the restaurant man, whose
small place is said to have been first
selected and afterwards abandoned on
account of its limited ACREAGE, says a
few weeks ago an old German spoke
to him about the purchase OF the place,
saying it was for another man, and
that he would send him to Bogue. No
body that he could recognize as a
Schweinfurth agent has applied to
him since the talk with the old Ger.

Four Northern Sailing Vessels Overdue,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. l2.-Much
anxiety is felt in shipping circles here
regarding the fate of the sailing vessels
which ply between here and 1vigtut.
Greenland, in the cryolite trade For
.evcral years the vessels have made
Two and three voyages each summer,
often returning from the first trip as
early as Decoration day. The steamer

to the far north and which during the
tumlner piled between Greenland and
Copenhagen. reports that the barks
Fluorinc, lvigtnt. Plntina and Salina
were loading at Ivigtut for Phiiadel-
phia, and are believed to have sailed
in the Inter part OF June for their
destination. While it is not known
whether or not the vessels have been
caught in the ice. the delay in ar
rlving has caused some uneasiness
1t is known that more ice fields and
bergs, have been seen this year off the
Newfoundland coast than ever before,
and the Greenland coast must be al
most impenetrable for sailing vessels
1t is possible that the vessels are still
lying at Ivigtut awaiting chance to
see clear water before leaving their
anchorage.

taker, which bids fair to prove great
expense saver in tho conduction OF
telephone systems throughout the
country. The invention is device to
do away with exchanges. or at least
central offices and would effectually
do away with the telephone girl and
drive the hello" out Of the language.
Mr.. Stranger has been at work upon
the invention for nine years and has
finally secured franchise in Laporte,
Ind, where it will be given trial.
The invention may be attached to any
telephone in use and consists, as far
as the subscriber goes, Of row Of five
keys, like those on telegraph instru-
ments, attached to the shelf under the
mouthpiece of the telephone They
are marked release. (" units, tens"
Hundreds" and thousands
When you want to call up No 1876,
for instance, you FIRST press the ''re-
lease" button to make sure that the
limo is disengaged. Then you click
the Thousand" key once, the "hun-
dred" key five times, the "ten" key
seven times and the unit" key six
times. and you have your man. There
is no central Office to yell at and wait
for, and even If No. 1876 is talking to
some one else at the time he hears you
ring, he says, Excuse mo for min
ute" to the man he is talking to,
presses his release" button and asks
wha: you want If your business is
not imperative he asks you to wait
moment, presses the release button
and goes on with the other converse
tion. after which he presses his .'re-
lease button again and talks to you.
1t is claimed that one great beauty
Of the invention is that it enables one
phone to be entirely disconnected
from all other lines II your business
is strictly private No. 1870 asks
you to call up his personal
number, which may be IS.
You both touch the release" button
and each presses the proper keys for

any other subscriber to overhear you.

CHICAGO, Aug 13.-That eastern lux
ury and oriental mnguificence do not
prevail in Illinois. but that its civilian
ton is of q sturdy growth. is demon
strated by the reports of its various
assessors to the state board OF equali-
cation. made public yesterday.
These reports present u satisfactory
picture of materinl wealth. There are
long rows OF figures showing that Iili-
nois is rich In farming and mineral
lands, in wheat. corn, rye, and barley,
In horses. cattle, sheep. and hogs.
The total of their valuation runs into
the hundreds of millions.
but where the item of ''diamonds
and jewelry" is reached the simplicity
OF the people at once asserts itself In
NIL the broad state, from Cairo to Dun
leith and Lake Michigan to the
Mississippi, in the entire city Of CHI
cago with 1t 1880. 900 inhabitants, and
in its companions OF Peoria. Joliet.
Quincy. Bloomington and Springfield
the total value of all such gew-gaws
and useless luSuries is S5s, T6e, no more
or less
And this must be correct. because
had there been more the assessors
would surely have found it.
There may be critics who will find
fault with this showing. There will
be men who will point to the diamonds
which glittcr from aldermanic shirt
fronts, even when they wear ncgligce
attire, nnd whose rays are
reflected back across tho downtown
bars from the stones in the
bosoms Of the mixers of drinks behind
them Again objectors will draw at
tention to the gems to be seen in The
oars, at the throats and on the fingers
OF the Chicago women. even early in
the morning when, clad in calico, they
are down town surveying the bargain
counters or making purchases for the
coming meals. Faultfndcrs will point
their fingers at the lively board of
trade man as he comes on change in
the morning, and ask what it is that
glitters 30 brightly upon his finger and
from his necltiic.
But all these critics, objectors and
faultfinders must be mistaken. The
assessors have declared that the total
value of all the diamonds and jewelry
in Illinois is s5s, zoe, and the assessors
must be right All ornaments beyond
this sum, no matter how proudly worn,
must be mere pnstc and brass or

cLARksoN NOT DROWNED.

Worid-Hcraid Reporter Makes some
Discoveries That Furnish y Clue.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1G.-Considera-
bic excitement has been caused here
by the disclosures OF World-Herald
reporter relative to the drowning of
Judge Garrison, which lead to the be-
lief that Clarkson was not drowned ia

Clsrkson was seen carrying package,
supposed to contain q new suit of

lake. The station agent at Loveland
testifies to having sold railroad
ticket to Logan to man
answering the description OF
Clarkson. The strongest clue OF
all Is an envelope bearing his name,
and also some papers. found in de-
serted schoolhousc near Loveland. As
the schoolhouse was on the most likely
route he would take, it is almost con-
ceded to have been him, 1t is thought
he must be mentally deranRed.

DENVER, Col, Aug. 16.-Ernest j.
Hart. OF London, England, has opened
On Office in Room All, Ernest & Gran
mer building, this city, and is engaged
in placing explosive material under
the jobs of the managers of several of
the largest mines in Colorado. He
represents millions of English capital,
among his friends being the City Of
London Contrnct corporation and the
London and Colonial Finance associa-
tion. 1t was he who placed the stock
of tho Denver Breweries company and
the Denver Hotel company in London.
His advising attorneys during the
present investigation are Wolcott &
Vailc, Of which Senator Wolcott is the
head.
From direct sources it is learned
that the English stockholders in mines
with capitalization Of $50, 900. 600 sus-
pect that there is some kind of gi-
gantic conspiracy among their trusted
managers of the properties, which is
diverting enormous sums out of their
pockets. Investigations which they
H. ve made are said TO show that there
is a LEAKAGE of fully 25 per cent. some
where between tho time the ore is
ahlpped to smelters and the entry of
bullion returns upon the books Of the
companies. The average run of ore
out of most large properties is perfectly
regulnr and certain shipments should
produce certain returns with almost
mathematical exactnesa. A Tribune
representative had stormy interview
of an hour and half with Hart
today. He threatened vengancc II
the purpose of his presence was made.
public. During his remarks he said:
"I do not wish to call anyone thief
Mt this stage of the game. but some
thing is going to break loose here that
will raise the biggest row that eve.
took place in Colorado"
he refused straight to say what COM
panies he is investigating, but they
are known to be in Leadvillc, Aspon
and tho San Juan district His mission
leaked out only yesterday in the inner
circles of mining men and has cnused
n huge scnA alton. No one knows ex-
act.y what will develop.
