South Dakota is a great place for

Mitchell, S. D., at the Ebbitt House last
evening. There are thousands of acres
OF choice farming and ranch land lying east
of the Missouri, and within one days ride
from Chicago or Milwaukee This land
can be bought now at almost any price,
but there is tendency TO raise the terms

the raising Of live stock, and the products

Pew people Know SAID DR., Quincy,
1.-THE value OF old teeth when they con-
tain gold in any quantity. II they are not
sufficiently acquainted with the subject
to Judge even approximately tue worth OF
these ARTICLES l would suggest that they
consult with u dealer III such things. There
Is qule demand for gold filled teeth as
a reference to the advertising columns
OF any New York paper will show.
These men, Us rule, strike good bar
gains with those who are not familiar with

Cranstou. OF Detroit. Mich, 1T the Metro
politIn Hotel. last evening. There was
one sight that used To cniiven the spirits
OF the Doys IN my native town that is now
lacking. This was the passage
the village OF The mast teams ON
their way from Chesterville, Pennington
or more distant points to tide water at
or Gardiner. Many of these
sticks were worth going distance to
see. even in those days, when forest giants
were plentirul Cutting these masts in

Hans Leydecker, a diamond polisher,
who learned his trade in Amsterdam, but
is now connected with New York jewelry
house, registered ut the Raleigh last even
ng.
diamonds can now be engraved in a
very artistic manner said Mynherr Ley
decker. The development of the diamond
cutting art brings into existence new
class of ieweiry, for which considerable
demand is expected. 1t was long believed
hat the diamond could not be engraved
with safety, or with satisfactory results.
A few stones roughly engraved were
ound in India, however, and a diamond
was exhibited at tire Paris Exposition OF
1878 on which a portrait of the king of
Holland was scratched. The work was
'ery imperfect, and the stones were rather
demolished than engraved.
Some OF the finest examples of engrav-
ng on diamonds are the work of Paris
eweler. One Is a large circular stone
IN which Il pausy with its foliage is en-
raved. An elaborate piece OF work is II
BICYCLE OF which the wheels are two
ircular diamonds. The spokes are rep
by engraved lines and u small hole
5 pierced at each angle. The art of en-
.raving on diamonds is Being introduced
nto America to meet the demands which
re made for samples of the work and sew
