1t is not generally known to what ex-
tent the mails are used in the importa-
ton of diamonds On recent steamer
day at the New York postoffice over $780,
900 worth Of rough diamonds for local
importers were received from London.
Up to the 1st of September the importa-
tons through the mails exceeded $500 coo
per month this year. The actual fig
ures for the first eight months of this
year are 1912, 031.S6. The importations
through the New York postofice last
year amounted to s4,747,46
The diamonds that come through the
mails are rough diamonds, and practically
all rough diamonds that are imported
come through the mails All of the large
importers who cut diamonds in this city
use the mails exclusively as their carry
ing medium.

ARCTIC MOSQUITO.
A Fierce Insect That Is Menace to
Human Life.

New Orleans Times-Democrat
Nothing that has ever been written
about the Arctic mosquito begins to came
up to the real thing" said a guest in thu
st. Charles corridor the other evening.
1 went up the Yukon river in the sum
mer of 1896, and we struck mosqui. os as
soon as we got into the hills They are
twice as large as our familiar bayou
species, and their sting is like the prod
OF hot needle. They sweep along the
valleys in dense clouds, and if they catch
a man unprepared they are liable to Bind
him before he can escape. 1 heard st 1rie;
of children being stung to death. and
can readily believe them. Whenever we
went ashore we wore heavy hat nets and
took the utmost precaution, but were Ger
tain to suffer more or less. One of our
party cut the tongues out of his shoes
and narrow line of sock was exposed
under the lacing. Next day he was bit
ten there at least a hundred times, and
his feet were SO terribly inflamed that
the shoes had to be cut off. The Arctic
foothtll mosquito Is without doubt the
most terrible insect pest in the world

The Electric Road to be Built.

IL. l., JOINER, county surveyor, was
here several days this week attending
to business for the county in pursu-
ance of resolution adopted by the
county board at its last meeting in
reference to acquiring title to the I'M
redeemed lands of the county, and
while here he received a message
from the Directors of the proposed
Electric railroad to be built from
Mineral Point to Highland by way of
Dodgeville, to meet them for the pur-
pose Of making preparations to enter
upon an immediate survey ofthe route.
The work will be commenced at once
and pushed to completion. The
financial part of the enterprise has
been settled, and the location and
necessary labor of construction appear
to be the only problems remaining
for solution.
Mr.. Joiner is Of opinion that the
building of this new road will contri.
butte much to the demonstration Of
the superiority OF Electric over steam
railroads by way of economy of energy
in producing speed and power o
transportation both in the passenger
and freight traffic.
If the farmers and others along thu
route of this new road will but care
fully consider their own interests, they
will freely grant all necessary encour
agement to this public enterpris,
that must result in bringing thu
eastern and other markets directly t
their doors and putting them in cas-,
communication with all the bushes
centers Of the entire country. =

Deweu's Vi0toru.

The battle of Manila, Wabash Ave.
and Hubbard ST., Chicago, stands pre-
eminent the most wonderful sight in
Chicago. 1t is the most faithful re-
production of a battle scene ever pro-
dueed in Europe or America. The
electrical effects are grand beyond de-
scription. The golden sunset before
victory, the raging storm at sea, night
firing of the forts, the Ardois night
signals, the trip down the bay, the
merchant fleet, firing of Lunetta bat
teries, the bow OF the Olympia towards
Cavite, batteries on Sangley Point
open fire, followed by the entire Span
ish fleet, the exploding mines, '.When
you are ready, Gridley, fire." terrific
cannonading of the American fleet,
the beautiful sunrise on victory, the
distress aboard the Spanish vessels,
Dewey won, Columb bias still the gem
Of the ocean. Each and every one Of
the electrical effects are superior to
anything that will be attempted for
the Paris exposition next year The
mechanism producing these effects is
secret with the Manila Exhibition
Co., and they positively refuse to al
low them to be reproduced by any
one. No one visiting Chicago should
fail to visit the battle of Manila. II
is sight you will never forget and a
lesson in history worth many times
the cost of admission.

There was a meeting of prominent
citizens Of Dubuque held in that city
last Friday evening to dicuss the FRO
posed improvement OF bridging the
Mississippi river at Eagle Point.
Several months ago the farmers of
southwest Grant subscribed for
nearly So, 900 OF stock in the bridge
company stock providing the BUSH
ness men of Dubuque, who would be
greatly benefited thereby, would do
their share towards building the said
bridge. At the meeting Friday night
considerable enthusiasm was shown
and several speeches made in regard
to the resources Of the agricultural
and mining districts the bridge
would effect. A committee Of thirty
two was appointed to solicit stock
throughout the Fifth ward and they
expect as liberal a response from the
business men of the ward as was
given by the men of Grant county.

Deweu on the american Sailor.

The following editorial in The
Times-Herald fifty expresses the sent
iments Of the American people.
1.-The American people are now
fully satisfied that Admiral Dewey is
great man. When the news of the
wonderful victory in Manila Bay was
flashed across the waters they said
with one accord, Dewey is great
sea captain. BY popular vote be was
given niche in the temple of fame
close TO Nelson, Farragut, Jones and
Perry
But the industrious newspaper
interviewer has given the people a
larger conception of the man Dewey.
He has climbed from the coming
tower Of the Olympia to greater
heights. The people have weighed
the utterances of the man and they
find that their naval hero is also a
wise, level-headed, sagacious and far
seeing American. He is greater than
a sea-iighter.
The people ask no better proof of
his greatness than his references to
the American sailor and his concern
for the brave crew of the Olympia.
After being informed by the New York
committee concerning the elaborate
plans that were under way for his re-
ception and entertainment he quietly
and modestly asked:
What are you going to do for my
menp They all want to take part in
the celebration
After being assured that the crew
OF the Olympia had not been forgotten
and that the jackies would have an
place in the festivities OF
the two days welcome the admiral
expressed great satisfaction and de-
clared that they might do with him
as they desired.
When Admiral Sampson was taken
to the Olympia to extend the greet
ings of the North Atlantic Squadron
almost the first words that came from
Dewey as he met the visiting admiral
at the head of the gangway were:
Look at those marines. Did You
ever see finer body of menu
These were athe men behind the
guns who won the battle in Manila
Bay. They were first in the thoughts
of the victorious admiral in the har-
Dor of his home land as well as in the
thick of the fight at Manila.
There may be other proofs that
Dewey is great man but these are
elements Of greatness that appeal
with peculiar power to the American
people,

came the home of canning factory.

To-day there is better chance than
ever for factory Not eanninr

material for the factory already here.
BY that we mean one that would
manufacture barrels, kegs, boxes, etc.
The factory here uses in the thousands

same. Now, not to ruffle any ones
feelings, If you please, but, would il
not have been wiser for the stock
holders Of the Riverside Driving AS
ISOLATION had they placed their money
in factory instead of race track.
Cassville has no more use for race
track than pig has for the curl in
his tail. While the same money in
vested in factory that has been
sunk in our race track would mean a
great deal to Cassyille and surrounds
ing country. Judge for yourself.
One would Judge from our writings
that we owned an interest in the
canning works here. We do not
realize dollar from them. But we
do believe in progression. mental,

drop Of ink, falling like dew upon a
