Buying Their Own Diamonds.

The De Beers mines employ three
thousand whites and from fifteen
thousand to twenty thousand Of
the natives as laborers. The ma
tives, Mr.. McGregor said, will steal
diamonds, and no way had been dis
covered toprevent the thefts. Under
the law the native laborers are kept
in Enclosures called compounds.
They sell the diamonds which they
steal OF a few shillings per carat.
They are purchased, although the
natives are ignorant Of the fact, by
agentso the De Beers company and
returned to the company. Within
the last two years, Mr.. McGregor
said, the company has paid in this
way three million, Ave hundred
thousand dollars for diamonds which
had been stolen by the natives. Mr..
McGregor said it was expected
that the dry diggings would be
worked out in two years, but they
have been worked since 1871, and
there are no indications Of a bottom
being found. To prevent the soil
from caving in, shafts one thousand
feet have been sunk, and the mining
is done in chambers similar to that

LUKE SHORT.
The Peaceful End Of a Notorious
Frontier Bad Man.

Frontier Bad Man.
The late Luke Short, the western
bad man and bosom friend Of such
other bad men as Bat Masterson,
Doc" Holiday and SENATOR Bas-
sett, the latter Dodge City's cele-
brated marshal, was one of the best
known characters on the Kansas
frontier twenty-five years ago.
Though the hero Of many shooting
ARRAYS and a desperate whose
nerve" amounted to bravado, he
was q slight and unassuming fellow
of quiet manners and gentlemanly
demeanor. He was one Of thefew
border ruffians who possessed the
drawing-room characteristics at
.tributed to such worthless by the
writers Of fiorid frontier romances.
He dressed well and without osten-
tation, and when he had to kill o
man, as happened several times dur
ing his career, he did it with all the
finish but with all the reluctance
that an imaginative story teller
could desire. Short was in business
at the time Of his death in Denver,
where his old chum, ''Bat" Master
son, is deputy sheriff. The last man
he killed was a Fort Worth bully
named COPYRIGHT, into whom he put
a bullet in q saloon about four years
ago. He was never called to account

old-fashioned molasses, the gen.

become scarcer still. In fact, tho
old-time molasses is scarcely pro-

also operated greatly TO reduce the
production Of molasses. The plant

INSURANCE ADVANCE.
Il Raise of 20 to so Per Cent on
Some Risks.

A Raise of 20 to so Per Cent on
Some Risks.
Insurance rates in st. Paul and the
Northwest yesterday underwent an adj
vance of 90 per cent. This Increase,
however, does not apply to those risks
rated on what is known as the schedule.
The exceptions include flour mills, ele-
vators, saw mills. grain, dwellings and
residence property. The advance ap-
plies to all mercantile property and
other specials, the rate on paper and
pulp mills being increased 80 per cent.
The matter of an increase has been un-
der consideration for some time. it be-
ing a result of the widespread depreS-
sion in mercantile circles. the increased
and heavy losses, and the falling off i'll
business.
From well known insurance man 1t
was learned that one company alone
has suffered an increase in losses for
seven months this year of SO per cent.
For the seven months beginning with
August, this year, they have had 729
losses as against 512 for the correspond
ing period last year. For the first six
months of the year there has been in the
United States an increase of SlS.000,0O0
in losses as over that of last year, and,
as the gentleman i'll question expressed
it, ut has been a holy terror" The
fires and losses have been abnormally
large. Another reason for the advance
has been the mysterious nature of the
fires, il being impossible to trace their
origin in many instances, all of which
has led the insurance men to use extra
precautions.
