Shoes covered with Diamond,.

The facility with which a boot-black
makes shoe shine like diamonds has been
remarked by every one, but it is doubtful If
any one has thought out the proposition
that when the knight of the brush is
through he leaves your foot-gear bristlin g
with diamonds. Diamonds are nothing but
crystallized carbon. Backing, which is
comeback, is little more when moistened
than carbon paste, and the friction of a
hair-brush being one of the most efficient
methods of generating electricity, has the
effect of crystallizing the carbon of the
backing. As soon as this is done the boot
is covered with millions of infinitely small
diamonds, and, of course, begins to shine
as mass of diamonds would. This is not
perfect explanation Of the phenomenon.
but it is good as far as it goes,

Speaking of the county printing in
1898, the Cresset should remember that
there several ways by which the same
meaning can be expressed. A man
who has had as mucn experience in the
newspaper business as Axline has had,
should have learned that much long
ago. ANY man with ordinary reason
ing power, who has investigated it,
must know that the county printing
was given to the lowest bidder in 1898
and in 1897. But in the light of recent
events our friend Luther does not be
long lii that category. Wayland must
have been right when he said that this
gentleman is unconseiously identifying
J himself with the kind that Christ rode
through the streets of Jerusalem.
c. w. Pease circulated a petition in
this part of the county which was free

weeks ago AIvon forged a check on the
bank at Harper and was soon appre-
hended. He acknowledged to the
crime and is now awaiting sentence
HIS father resides in the strip and has

him out of the difficulty so far as pos.
sible. Mr.. Pease senior says he hopes
this will be lesson to his son but if be
commits any future offense after serv-
ing sentence this time, he must look
elsewhere for assistance.

sum Jones picked up a violin, made q

The jury in the case of j. F. Jones
vs.. the Citizens Bank of Redwood
Falls, which has been hanging fire for
many years, reported disagreement
at six o'clock Sunday night, after be-
ing out for over "a hours. There was
no disagreement as to the question
that the plaintiff was entitled to YER
dict. In fact, this was decided on the
first ballot, but the difference was on
the amount, from one to six checks
being in dispute, and on this question
one juror, Mr.. Roy of Underwood,
held out alone, and caused the sdisa-
greement. A judgment against the
bank would be of little or no value
now.
The case of L. P. Larson VS.. the
Winona & St. Peter railroad company,
the action to recover for personal in
juries received by Larson in an acct
dent while attempting to board the
train at Golden for Wilder college,
was settled in St. Paul last week, by
Larson taking about $1,000, and the
company paying his expenses. The
train which Larson was to have taken
flew past the station in early morning,
and on seeing that passenger was
waiting, stopped and backed up. It
had no lights from the rear, and Lar
son could not see it coming back.
The result was that it backed over
him, and he lost an arm and one foot.
The company gave him $500 for the
first settlement, three weeks after the
accident, but Larson soon ascertained
that he could get more, and hence
commenced the action that resulted in
the above settlement.
