County populists held their con
vention in Miller Saturday for the
purpose OF selecting delegates to
their state convention, at Aberdeen.
1t was a quiet affair, devoid OF en-
thusiasm. AS expected, the radicals
declared the war to be failure.
That's about all our populist friends
have to cling to. Their real issue OF
finance and government have all been
discredited by actual facts, so that
about their stock in trade now is
quibbling and faultfnding. Out OF
about 100 delegates to the conyen-
ton, less than half that number at
tended. This convention is not pro-
nounced success by even the popu-
lists themselves:
As understood by observing politi-
clans, what is called the Pettigrew
faction was defeated by the Kyle
faction. State Senator Major repre-
sented the Pettigrew faction for dele
gate at large, and Editor Sweetland
represented the Kyle faction. To
the surprise of some, Editor Sweet
land easily defeated Mr. Major for
delegate at large to Aberdeen, not.
withstaading the energetic work of
strong men like Railroad Com. Kirk
patrick. This only adds another to
the many instances recorded in polit-
al history that there is limit to all
men. No difference how gooId nan
may be, when he undertakes to con-
tinually hold on to political favor
and position the people call a halt.
And SO it is that Messrs. Major and
Kirkpatrick. both good men, who
have so long controlled the populist
party OF Hand county, and enioyed
the good things. have been turned
down. Perhaps another element al-
so is the recognition OF Editor Sweet
lands work for his party through
his paper. At any rate he is evident
~ the stronger man in his party, and
it looks as il he would be the logical
candidate for State Senator on the
populist ticket.

OUR PRECIOUS STONES.
America Produces Many Different
Varieties,
(From the Time and the Hour.)

(From the Time and the Hour)
The United States has become a large
producer of some varieties of precious
stones. New Mexico's output of tur-
quoises is larger than all of the rest of
the world combined. Thousands of carats
of rough sapphires are sent to London
from Montana every year, where they
are cut and polished more cheaply than
would be possible in this country Few of
these are of fine color as the best i'm
ported stones, however.
The lovely hidden green hiddenite or
lithia emerald, is found in North Caro-
lima. 1t has never been found outside the
United States. In our own New Eng
land States occur gems of remarkable
beauty. The golden beryls of Connecti-
cut are of Il clear golden yellow. as their
name implies. From Royalston, Mass,
have been taken aquamarines of an eX-
quisite sea-blue color, which are as fine
as are found in any part of the world.
But to the State of Maine belongs the
honor of producing the gem that because
of its great range of color and remarka-
BILE dichroism, as well as the great beau
ty of its uncut crystals, deserves to be
called the queen of American gems. This
stone is interesting to the mineralogist
on account of its many different elements.
Not only are the Maine tourmalines the
most remarkable produced In the nlted
States, but some of the colors from them
are by far the finest found anywhere in
| the world. The stones were discovered
| in this locality in 1920, and some of the
| crystals taken from the surface pockets
| at this time may now be seen in the i'm
| perial collection at Vienna. The mines
| of Paris. Me, have been worked since
| 1871, under the direction of Mr.. A. c.
| Hamlin, of Bangor The largest fine gem
| taken out weighed siXty-nine and one
| fourth carats, and is of a superb light
| green color, and absolutely free from
flaws. 1t was suggested at the meeting
| of the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science that the tourma-
line be adopted as our national gem. 1t
| certainly deserves to be.
| From the fresh-water shellfish of the
| ponds, brooks and lakes of the United
| States have been taken, during the past
! few years, many beautiful pearls of re-
| markable luster and color. They have
| found ready market in London at high
| prices.
| Many other American gems deserve ia
| vorable mention, such as the chrysoprase
from California which resembles the rare
| apple-green Chinese jadeite, the ruby
colored garnets from the West, the aqua
| marines from North Carolina and rose
quartz from South Dakota.

STOCKS TEND DOWNWARD.
Further Declines in American To
baccO and Sugar Refining.


New York, Oct. 3.-The stock market
opened active and soon became unsettled
somewhat higher range of prices for
American stocks in London was wholly
disregarded as furnishing the only indi-
cation of the days probable range Of
prices, and attention was again directed
toward the industrial stocks the course
of which was thought likely to dominate
the market. These stocks were again all
very active and weak.
There were further severe declines in
American Tobacco and Sugar refining,
and apart from those stocks Consolidated
Gas broke badly. There was no decid-
ed change from last week. in the fac
tors dominating the trading. The appar-
ent stock market contest in progress in
the industrials unsettled the general
market and restricted active dealings
there.
During the morning, however, the
grangers became more steady and firm
er in tone.
In Government bonds the new As were
one-eighth per cent lower
At noon the market was rather unset
tied. The majority of stocks, however,
were advanced.
Sugar and Tobacco continued to be very
active.

ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
James Callahan Seeks TO End All
With n RnZOr.

James Callahan made an unsuccessful at
tempt to commit suicide this morning at
l2:l5 by cutting his throat with a razor,
at his home, No. ll43 Eighteenth Street
northwest.
Callahan had been drinking for some
time, and his mother had placed him in
charge of James Dent, colored. who was
working about the place. Callahan told
Dent that he was going up stairs TO take
a nap, and went TO his room.
4 short time elapsed when Dent
thought that he had made a mistake in
letting the man shut himself in his room
and the colored man ascended the stairs
to the second floor and knocked at the
door Of the bedroom in which Callahan
was supposed to be sleeping. Receiving
no answer, he tried the door, but it was
locked. He secured a ladder and looking
/ through the window saNS Callahan lying
on the bed with a long deep cash in his
throat. He Immediately summoned Po-
liCeman Hanley and the two entered the
room. IL was at first thought that the
man was dead. An ambulance was called
/ for which conveyed the wounded man
to Emergency Hospital The wound in
/ Calahan's throat is of a very dangerous
character and he may die.

The well-known firm of Goldenberg &
Co, opened its doors for the season to-
day
October 3, marks the third mile stone
in the successful career of the firm To
say that the affair was an unqualified
success would be to inadequately describe
it
Long before noon great crowds were
pouring in the mammoth store in a
steady stream. The announcement OF
Goldenberg's opening was sufficient to
bring them. They were eager TO see and
to buy and were not daunted by the rain.
This firm began with a small store,
and in short space of time has by hard
and conscientious work made improve
ment after improvement, until now ii
ranks with the foremost business firms
of the city. Where ii followed it now
leads its competitors. Even today nego-

To go into detailed description of the
magnificent stock would be impossible.
From the upholstering department on
the top floor down on through all the
numerous branches of the business, the
dress goods. boys suits, millinery, ladies'
hosiery, toilet articles and perfumery
departments to the crockery, cut glass
and silverware department, on the base
ment floor the stock is complete in every
detail, and unsurpassed for variety and
excellence in quality.
And still they came.
The crowd steadily increased during
the afternoon, until at times the very af-
fable gentleman in charge could scarcely

TO CURE NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
To Gain Flesh to Sleep Well, so

of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Interesting Experience OF an Indi-
annapolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having 1t think that their nerves
are to blame, are surprised that they are
not cured by nerve medicines and Spring
remedies; the real seat of mischief is lost
sight Of: the stomach is the origin to BE-
looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
uerhapS any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every other organ: in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregu-
lar: in others, the kidneys are affected :;
in others the bowels are constipate1, with
headaches: still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite. with the accu-
mutation of gas, sour risings and heart
burn.
Mr.. A. W. Sharper, of No. 81 Prospect
Street. indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows: "A motive of pure gratitude
prompt me to write these few lines re-
Garding the new and valuable medicine.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. j have been
a sufferer from nervous dyspepsia for the

in the Pacifics. 1t was a disappointment
to the optimistic, who had hoped that
there might be a change with the begin
ming OF a new week. During the morning
hours there was drop of four points in
Tobacco to ll3, drop in Sugar, drop OF
a point or more in many of the railroads,
including the grangers. Rock Island af-
ter opening with some strength fell oft
half Il point on one sale. thing that sell
dom happens to the grangers. Toward
the last OF the second hour there was
tremendous rally in Tobacco that carried
it up beyond the opening, and slight
accession of strength all along the line
seemed to indicate better things for the
afternoon. When this report closed there
was no certainty of this but the majority
of the traders believed that there would
be advances. There is u much better
feeling about the money situation. 1t
seems certain that there will be no more
trouble in this direction. There Is the
prediction that time money Will be mad
at per cent during the week. This and
other good conditions would very reason
ably suggest advances in the market this
week, but the erratic action of the grans-
ers and the entirely unknown factor OF
their real conditions make predictions
hopeless.
