THE governor very strongly recon-
mends the repeal of the law relating
70 public weigher, ana declares that
the Office is useless. In contradistinc-
ton 10 this, others assert that the re-
quest for the repeal Of the law comes
from spectators exclusively, and that
the law is very useful and should be
retained. They also claim that the
farming community everywhere de
mand that 1t shall be retained, as II Is

Many years ago the choctaws and
Chickasaws parted with large tracts
OF lands west of their home lands, but
deny that they conveyed them In fee
simple, and the court of claims sus-
tained this contention, and decides
that the real title to these lands is in
the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian
tribes and that the United States
was simply their trustee. Altogether
the land involved in this decision is
over 5000, 900 acres.

This Magnificent Jewel viii BE Owned by
Pauline Aston.
In the ordinary course of events Miss
Pauline Astor will some day become
possessor of the most famous and mag
nificent diamond owned outside Of a
crown treasure. The gem in question is
the world famous Sancy diamond, owned
by her father. and were it to appear
among the jewels worn at any court
function or royal drawing room it would
entirely throw into the shade every 9TH
er gem there except the Kohinoor.
which the queen always wears OIL state
occasions as a brooch.
The Sancy is a stone which is pos.
sessed Of a remarkable history. Weigh.
ing about 81 carats, it at n time
formed part Of the crown jewels OF
Duke Charles the Bold Of Burgundy,
and on his death in battle III Switzer-
land vas found set either in his helmet
or sword hilt. The Swiss sold it to the
French king of the day, and from that
time forth il became one Of the crown
jewels of France.
1t disappeared at the time Of the revo-
luton, ~reappeared at the restoration
and at the time Of the second revolu-
ton in 1880 passed by purchase into
the possession of Anatole Demidoff, the
Muscovite millionaire. 1t was worn for
q time by Demidof's wife. Princess
Mathilde Bonaparte. but he took ii
from her before their separation and
then bequeathed ii to his nephew, Paul
Demidoff. The latter sold 1t III the six
ties for the sun Of 5000, 900, a ridicu-
lousy small price, to the late Sir
Jamsetjee Jejeehobhoy, the Parse mil
lioDaire and philanthropist Of Bombay.
After his demise his heirs put it once
more in the market, and it was pur-
chased by William Waldorf Astor by
