smaggied Diamonds Seized.

New York, Oct. 2I.-Collector Bid
well and Deputy Collector Phelps of
the customs service. were much
chagrined today over the publication
of story dealing with the alleged
smuggling operations of Adolph Pea
body. formerly Il diamond dealer of
this city.
Peabody was before Collector Bid
well yesterday on charges that he had
smuggled n quantity of diamonds val
ued at from $4,000 to $4,000 into this
city by way of Canada.
r' Peabody. according TO the story in
customs circles. failed in business here
about year ago and tried to make n
satisfactory settlement with his cred.
itors. among them two large diamond
importing firms in the Maiden Lanc
district. 1t Is supposed that the news
OF Peabody's diamonds being detained
came from one of these sources and
that the motive was revenge.
The diamonds are now in the hands
or the collector and viii be appraised
III a day or two. Peabody voluntarily
surrendered the greater part of them
yesterday. taking them from n safe de.
post box in vault of the National
Park bank.

Inent OF the old conservative view Of
woman's sphere the kaiser's definition
IS the brlefest and best. The new ideas
OF the advanced woman find little re-
sponse in the Teutonic mind. and in
defining woman's destiny thus compre-
hensively the kaiser may be regarded
as the spokesman OF his people. Ger
many's ideal however. has changed
since the days when Tacitus described
the women OF the Teutons as accom-.
panying their husbands to battle and
engaging in the fight, and 1t may
change again. despite the kaiser's
clever saying.

Tho New beet Factory,

A dispatch from La Junta. says:
There was, n big meeting of farmers
nt the opera house here Saturday af-
ternoon to discuss the question of rails
ing sugar beets. ii. Il. Oxnard. presl-
dent of tho American Beet Sugar Com
pany. with Vice President Hamilton
and Industrial Agent Davis of the San
tn Fc road were. present The plan Is
to interest the whole Arkansas valley
In the new enterprise. .'s ,
From analyses made of sugar beets
raised TO test the soil of the Arkansas
valley, 1t is shown that the land will
produce a better quality of beets than
many other sections where they are
now being grown. The plan of the
sugar company is to make five-yenr
contracts with farmers to furnish the
product. The factory will be built nt
some convenient point, probably near
La Junta. This is u good location,
there being close by an unlimited
amount Of limestone, which Is used in
the manufacture Of sugar. The fac
tory will have n capacity of 125,OOO
tons Of beets each season and will give
employment to some 400 men. The rep
rescntatives of the sugar company will
20 all through the valley and explain
the proposition to farmers. So far
they have met with gratifying success.

Of the. st. Paul. and they drive her
