In the miscellaneous collection" were
crescent of Rhine stones, a bracelet OF
paste, ring set with one irritation dia-
mond. and ring set with two i'm IMITATION
diamonds. There were some other arti-
cles, making quite lot Of cheap and
gaudy jewelry.
Whea the news OF Mrs. Barnaby's
death came TO this ci y DIR. Graves said
TO his wife that somebody should 20 to
Denver and look after Mrs. Barnaby's
personal effects, among which was dia-
mond jewelry TO the vaus OF 20,000
Mrs. Barnaby Is known to nave taken
with her some valuable gems and ihe
high-prlced diamonds owned by her were
"A matter OF common talk.
A local jeweler, IL is said, has repaired
an article valued at 800. Yet no article
Is given in tie in ventory valu ID at more
than $500, and the valuation of the lew
elry Is considere very fair.
No one seems TO know the list Of
articles owned by Mrs. Barnaby, and it
would be next to impossible to prove
that the goods were genuine in the begin
ming and had been tampered with.
There is geo deal OF spe .ulation as
to what has become OF the diamonds. An
opinion is given that they were sold by
Mrs. Barnaby secretly. Anyway, they
are missing, aud thosa turne over to the
administrators do not compare in value
with the supposed wealth Of the jewels
she wore.
The Memorial Windows.
Mrs. Barnaby's will contains a clause
in which she gives to Grace church two
memorial windows. One was to be for
her father and mother; he other for her
self and daughter Hattie. The sum OF
$l0 000 was set aside for these.
1t is said that Grace church will not
accept these windows. There IS only room
for two more windows In the church,
aud these the corporation wishes 10 re-
tain for persons who have been specially
active in the cnurch work, it is SAID.
A statement Is made that with this
$40, 900 all the legacies can be paid, which
o, herwise could not bs done.
Two rooms in the house owned by Mrs.
Barnaby ut the corner OF Broadway aud
Dean street, were used for storage In
these rooms were kept clothing and fur
niture. Mrs Barnaby aad the
Hickey woman are the last
known to have besn In the rooms
When the administrator opened the
doors he found everyshing in st,te Of
disorder. amt evidently ali the 9oois n.d
been goue ov.r with no isht hand.
Having no inventory OF the goods it was
impossible fer the adminis.rator to tell
IL any Of them w re missing.

the slightest objection to one, provid.
ed Hot Springs is to be the capital,
If such should be the necessity we

not likely present itself. We need
no new state house at Little
Rock. Thousands OF dollars have, in
the past few years, been spent on the
present capital building, and it is in
good order and plenty good, especially
when you take into consideration the
poor crop of last year. One Of the
best things to do is TO quit talking
about a new legislature and let that
body postpone the taxes in the over
flowed districts. The people do not
want any more burdens put upon

VALUABLE INFORMATION.

In the late decision of the supreme
court in the case of the railroad COM
missioners, Judge Horton took occa-
sion to remark:
The courts are for the people, not for a
party, and every person should confidently
apply to them, with the assurance that his
rights, and not his politics, will be consid-
cred and sdjudicated.
1t is fortunate that the Judge made
this announcement officially from the
bench. The recent history of the
Kansas supreme court has been well
calculated to cause Kansans to forget
that "the courts are for the people"
