FOR DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
Three Per.ons Arrested in New York.

IpnnOrfer.

Three Persons Arrested in New York,
One of Them n Prominent
Importer.
New York, Dec. .3.-Emanuel ]. LaSar.
saloonkeeper of this city. and his wife, were
each held in 5000 bail by United States
Commissioner Shields to-day, on the charge
of having smuggled into this country $780,
worth Of diamonds. They pleaded not
guilty. The diamonds were seized Wednes-
day night at the Office of Max Lasar. a
diamond merchant in Maiden Lane. The
examination of Lasar and his wife has been
set for December II.
Collector Bigwell was very reluctant to
give any information about the arrests,
saying that he was afraid publicity would
interfere with other important arrests that
they are expecting to make.
There has been some wholesale snug
Cling going on" said the collector. by
what l think is an organized gang. Lasar
and his wife, l think. are the most i'm
portant members of the band. The best
evidence we have is, l think. sufficient to
convict the prisoners.
Later in the day Max Lasar was ar
rested and held in $500 bail for examina-
ton.
The arrests were made after Collector
Bidwell had had conference with United
States District Attorney Mcfarland. As
sistant United States District Attorney
kehlor is conducting the case against the
prisoners.
According to the statement made by Max
j. Lasar's lawyer. the diamonds seized
were purchased by Max Lasar during his
trip abroad last fall, were shipped here i'll
the regular way. and the regular duty
paid on them. The connections which the
persons under arrest have with the case
is not yet clear. Max Lasar is one of the
best known diamond merchants in the city.
and for years has been carrying on an i'm
port business of very large proportions.
The diamonds in controversy were found
in the office of Jordan & Reichman, where
Max Lasar has safe.
Jordan & Reichman protested against
the customs house officers taking the gems
| from the safe The Lasars are brothers.
Max Lasar is being sued for divorce. and
| in some way it is thought this latter fact
| has connection with the charge of SNUG
Cling.

Our correspondent, Dixie, de-
sires to know if a man has been a
Republican most of his life, and
believe in protection as promulgat-
ed by the Republican Party, and
yet also believe in bimetalism, if
that infers that such person is a
Democrat?
Well, according to the decision
of the present Republican party it
seems, that those who believe in
bimetalism are ruled out of that
party, so that they are, Of necessity,
considered, either new party or
belong to the Democrats.
He also asks what is the cause
of the livening up Of the times,
on the Threshold, of a Republican
administration? Well, according
to some of the items in our ex-
changes, times are not livening up
so much as claimed by the Repub-
lican publications. Shutting
down of manufacturing establish
ments.is a poor sign of prosperity.

decided that Of two. evils. he will
choose the least-use it 80 as not
to loose it-and in order to do so,
he will be compelled to discontin-
ne the publication of the Union
until after his return from ths'
Jubilee, there being nobody in
this vicinity that can be left to
carry on the work in our absence.
So the present issue will be'the
last number until our return.
The rates are now so extremely

This part Of Utah beats any
country OH earth for trading
round" SO little money is in
circulation that almost anything
of value is a legal tender in pay
ment of debts, both public and
private. At the minstrel show
last week Salina young man led
a calf up, to the hall door and
offered to swap it off for two re-
served seats tickets. He made it,
too, and got regular box seats.
During the past winter The PRESS
man has, accepted. all manner Of
stuff on subscription to his paper.
Upstairs, in the Office, he has two
loads of good hHy, ten bushels of
potatoes, a. barrel of molasses;
three cases of eggs, seven gallons
of honey, four saddles, a lot of
fence posts, keg of Dixie wine,
four dozen little roosters, twelve
bushels of oats, three cords of
wood, u Navajo blanket, part of
a threshing machine, baby
carriage and lot Of bed bugs.
The other day an Aurora man

wanted to trade us his wife in pay
ment of debt, telling us that she
was the only thing of any value
he had left on his place. We told
him that we couldn't make room
for her. It would never do to put
her up stars with the honey. and
the baby carriage, and the bed
bugs. The man went away dis
appointed. Yesterday we saw his
wife in the Coop, swapping goose
grease for a new Easter bonnet
trimmed with yellow ribbons and
pansy blossoms. She was good
looking, too. We have to draw
the line, however. 1t is utterly
impossible for us to accept women

set of side springs and axle for a

through having variety of articles
too numerous mention, and lot
of moths and cockroaches. Besides
being compelled to take lotof stuff

Preached at 10 a, M, and 4 p. m!
Had dinner with Mr.. S. Mitchell,

has read Voice of Warning, and
Tracts Nos. I. and 4, as well as the
Dodgers, and was greatly taken with
the conversation on the Godhead in

Wednesday,. clear and warm.
Had some writing TODD, so did not
do any street work. Spent the day
with brother Mitchell. In the after.
noon we took walk with our host
to see the railroad bridge and the
ruins of Fort Craig, where the con-
federate army, under General Buel
overpowered part of the Union
army and captured the Fort called
Craig, which is just north of Green
River, about half a mile from
Munfordaiile, KY. 1t was very in
teresting to see the positions held
by both forces and to see the plan
of battle-rife pits, earthworks etc..
etc.
Toward evening we called on the
county clerk at his Office and had
a very pleasant chat with him.
When we left he gave us another
half dollar.
Brother Mitehell gave us,a written
permit to preach in all of his preach
ing places, Gin number. Also his
consent to use the Church here in
town, if the Trustees or Stewards
will consent to it. He gave us a,
warm invitation-to call and see him

KILLED BY WHARF RATS.

MT. William F. Clarke, the night dep- uty at the jail, who resides at Mo- 77S Main street, had thirty-six chickens killed Monday night by wharf rats He started out with seventy-four chickens a few days ago. Tn a short time the number was reduced to forty-seven. The high water had driven the rats from their favorite resorts and up from the railroad tracks The chicken ccops were up from the ground, the surface being boarded. This morning, when Mir. Clarke went to the coops, he found that there were only eleven chickens left. There was not a feather to be found, and it was thought at first That they might have been stolen. A rat terrier was secured and soon developed the truth. It was found that the chick ems mad been dragged under the wood- en floor of the coop.-Hartford Times.
