TEA TAX MAKING TROUBLE
Importers Stand to Lose Heavily to
Those Who Had a TIP.

Dubuque, Ia. May 24-The whole
sale grocers of Iowa have been caught
on the short side of tea and have sent
a delegation to Washington to see what
Senator Allison can do for them. With
them have gone two representatives of
the Chicago houses. Before the tariff
of 10 cents q pound on tea was pub
Hcly suggested by the senate commit
tee these grocers sold for future deIiv-
cry in such quantities that one Chica go
house stands to lose 500, 900 if compelled
to furnish taxed tea, and Iowa houses
will also lose heavily.
The importers have discounted the
future and have sold their stocks at a
liberal advance on former prices. One
Chicago and New York house is re-
ported to have cleaned up $3.50, 900 and
other importers are supposed to have
done equally well. The grocers tried
to cover, with the result that the de-
mand for immediate shipment raised
prices in Japan IL cents. Some of the
grocers, rather than stand this, de-
cfded to cOuntermand their orders and
take their chances on securing a modi-
fication of the tariff bill.
The delegation sent tow ashing ton was
appointed at a conference in Chicago
last week and is headed by F. A. Han
cock of Dubuque. They viii ask that
the tariff bill be amended to provide
for a rebate of the tax on all tea i'm
ported to fill orders taken before the
senate bill was reported.

without giving Mr.. Riddles views much

this action on the part Of the commits

inquired Mr. Johnson.

suited replied Mr. Riddle

ASPHALT WALKS AND DRIVES
VIII Now Take the Place of Sand and
Gravel at the State House.

The ex ecutive council at a meeting
held Saturday afternoon, beginning at
4 o'clock, decided 70 reject all bids on
the contract for diagonal walks and to
cover the present drives and walks
with asphalt. and the secretary of
state was instructed to readvertise.
The contracts will not be let until some
time in June.
The drives and walks in the state
house grounds have been a source of
constant annoyance and trouble to the
present administration as we'll as to the
Republican administration which pre-
coded it. The Republicans imagined
they had discovered the panacea. for all
ills of that character when they con
tracted for the present sand and stone
drives and walks. The impracticabfHty
of these was not discovered until the
wet season set in, about the time the
legislature was in session. Then the
utter worthIessness of the drives and
walks was demonstrated and resulted
in a resolution on the part of the pres
ent executive council to relieve the diff
ficulty by covering the sand with as
phalt.

LIVE STOCK BOARD
Makes the Changes Prophesied Som
Time Ago.

Last week the Journal printed a story
to the effect that the state live stock
sanitary commission had decided to re-
move J. F. Williams as inspector at the
Kansas City stock yards. The state
ment was denied by Taylor Riddle, sec
rotary of the board, who complimented
Mr.. Williams work and said:
There has been no complaint against
Williams. He has done his work well
and there is not the slightest foundation
for the report that he Will be removed"
However the commission, at a meet
ing held in Kansas City did remove Mr..
Williams and placed the inspection of
cattle coming into the Kansas City
yards in the hands of Albert Dean the
expert government Inspector
Williams was paid 800 per month by
the Kansas City stock yards company.
The change enables the inspection of
cattle to be made as before but without
expense either to the state, cattlemen
or stock yards company
J. w. johnson and Frank Weinshank
are the cattlemen who are mem bers of
the board Johnson and Weinshank re-
cognized the injustice of compelling the
stock yards company to give up 500
per month.
These two members of the board also
recognized the injustice of the two cent
inspection fee charged against all cat
tie coming into the state and abolished
it, to the satisfaction of every cattle
man in the state

GREATEST DIAMOND GONE.
Tt Disappears Mysteriously From the
Government Treasury at
Hyderabad.

London, May 4.-The greatest dia-
mond in the world has been stolen. A
cablegram was received from Calcutta
yesterday stating that the historical
Victoria or Imperial diamond, valued at
100000 Isl, 800, O0O). had been taken
from the government treasury at Hy-
derabad. and that no trace exists of
the thief or thieves.
The robbery was so skillfully planned
and executed that no information can
be gained as to the time when the gem
was stolen. The first knowledge that
a daring robbery had been committed
came with the chance discovery that a
paste imitation had been substituted
for the Victoria.
No diamond of modern times equals
the Victoria, either in size, brilliancy
or value. It is a perfect blue-white OBJ
long brilliant, weighing $50 karats, and
some of the most renowned experts
have pronounced it to be worth much
more than the fortune paid for it by
the Nizam of Hyderabad.
There is a certain amount of mys-
terry connected with the history of the
great jewel, just as there is to all of
the famous diamonds of the world. The
manner in which it fell into the hands
Of the Simla jeweler has never been
clearly explained, and doubtless never
will be. 1t is believed by some of the
most noted dealers in diamonds that
the Victoria is a part OF the famous
diamond known as the Nizam, owned
several hundred years ago by the King
of GOlconda.
By a strange coincidence, he~Nizam
of EIydera bad, the most powerful semi
Independent prince in the Deccan, is a
lineaI descendant of the former King of
Golconda, and in his territory are stu
ated the famous diamond fields popu-
larly known as the GOlconda mines. In
these mines was undoubtedly found the
Great AIogul diamond, and there also,
in all probability, was discovered the
Nizam so called from the title of its
princely owner.
The Nizam, in its rough state, was
valued at 81, 900 600, and weighed $40
karats It was an almost almond
shaped stone. and bore the marks OF
the Hindu lapidaries who had made IN
effectuaI attempts to shape it into a
regular form. The history of the huge
diamond is associated with the great
Indian revolt, during which, by some
accident, it was broken. The accounts
of the accident vary in describing the
size of the Nizam. The inference has
been drawn that the piece remaining
weighed $40 karaJs, and the stone
weighed no less than 440 karats before
it was fractured.
Only one diamond larger than this
was ever discovered, and it was the
Great Mogul.

ON WITH THE FESTIVAL
The Ball Again Started to
Rolling and All Goes Well.

The Committee of Fifteen will roll up
its sleeves next Thursday evening and
commence work in earnest. There has
been some lassitude on the part of the
members OF the committee since the
Chanute encampment and the rush of
general business incident to the spring.
but the members are now ready to com
mence work in earnest.
There is already a large sum sub
Scr1bed but more is needed. 1t is an
assured fact that the Festival this fall
VIII be larger than ever and the people
must understand that it will take
money. The members of the committee
are working without pay or hope of re-
ward except the satisfaction they
will feel in seeing the city take a giant
step forward. The merchant who tells
the committee to "call again" does not
realize this or else the welfare of the
city at large makes no impression on
him.
From this time on there is work
ahead and nothing else. Dudley & JOS
lyn are buSily engaged in the manufac-
ture of the trial float at the Fair
grounds. In a few days it will be
ready for inspection by the members of
the committee. All the floats are to be
kept safe from other eyes until next
fall when drawn by gai1y caparisoned
horses and accompanied by liveried at
tendants they will appear on the streets
to dazzle the visitors with their splen-
dor
Mr.. JOslyn said to Journal reporter:
I'VE are getting along as well as could
be expected. One float is nearly COM
pleted and we believe that it will not
prove disappointing. We are ready to
give bond as soon as this float is in
spected, that we will faithfully carry
out our part of the contract with the
committee. The floats will be all that
are expected
The plan to have a Santa Fe anniver-
sary is meeting with the approval of
the members of the committee. It has
beeen endorsed by A. K. Rodgers, D. J.
Greenwald. c. H. Titus and other prom
ia Fe company of the earnest co-opera-
ton of the committee in whatever is
planned.
No positive action has yet been taken
by the committee concerning q Fra
ternal Day. but the A. 0. u. w lodges
in the city have already discussed the
advisability of participating and have
decided to take part. Invitations will
be extended to lodges throughout Kan
sas and an effort will be made to have
as many visiting members as possible
in the city.
The Knights of Pythias will await the
action Of Chancellor Bird who has not
yet called district convention for To-

made by the organization that ne is
now examining with a view to deter
