Bullet Shot Through Six Men.

A remarkable story from reliable
source illustrates the deadly effect of
a new rifle named the mannlicher, which
is being used by continental troops. At
Podhorz, near Prague, two gendarmes
while on their round entered an inn and
sat down, placing their mannlicher
rifles in corner. One of the guns
slipped and fell, catching the trigger
against projecting seat. The ball went
through the door of the room, struck a
musician sitting beyond, passed
through his body and then through
five of his companions who happened
to be sitting by his side. The first man
was killed and the others seriously in
jured. 1t is said that such penetrative
force has never been found in any 9th
er rifle, and further experiments are
about to be made.-Golden Penny.

RICHES OF THE TRANSVAAL.
Some Idea of What England in the
Event of War Would Try
to Secure.

Just now, when the eyes of the world
are on the Transvaal and various re-
ports are being put forward as to Just
what reason exists for plunging that
country into war with Great Britain,
report furnished this government by
Consul Macrum at Pretoria is interest
ing. He says:
According to a report just published
the output of diamonds in the Pretoria
district during 1898 amounted to H.
025 carats, valued at 6 S,S67 ($43, 1925.
In December, 1897, the output was 166
carats, valued at e146 ($710.5D, and
for the same month in 1898 the out
put was 3,100 carats, with a value of
6 1889 (S11, 626.9T. The largest stone
found in 1898 was 3S1h carats. Although
the diamond industry is not develop
ing with abnormal rapidity, there is
every cause for satisfaction, the first
stone having been discovered at Reit-
fontein only in August, 1897. The
average value of stones found in this
district is 16 shillings ($3.S9) per carat,
the average value of Kimberly dia-
monds &c shillings (S6.33) per carat, and
those found at Jagersfontein, in the
Orange Free State, "a shillings ($S.27)
per carat. The diamonds in the Pre-
toria district are found in pipes, as on
Schuller's mine and on Montrose. A
similar formation has been found on
Roodeplaats, on the Pienaars river, and
another is also reported at Kameelfon-
tein and Buffelsduff.
''On the De Kroon farm, about &c
miles west of Pretoria, diamonds have
been found, but, according to the state
geologist, not in a blue ground forma-
ton. AT Byrnespoort an alluvial de-
post is being worked; also one on the
adjoining portion of the Elandsfontein
farm. The area of diamondiferous
ground is very extensive, though its
thickness is not considerable.
'The total quantity of diamonds
found in 1898 in the Transvaal was 49,
S43 carats, valued at C 1870 ($212,-
$1,000.
eat the alluvial diggings 1928
carats, valued at assoc ($41, 374.9s),
were obtained. The difference between
alluvial and pipe diamonds consists in
the fact that river stones are of far
better quality and are generally larger"

A New York society dame, who is an ar.

A man who called on her the other day was
how she, with all her humane theories, could
have allowed the cruel dog fancier to cut off
Snaps tail and ears to the fashionable de-
gree of brevity. The dame drew herself up
and replied, with some hauteur:

seeing it raw. These fish are at times
quite numerous in Puget sound and
occasionally large hauls are made in

quantities of them are sometimes

Eastern Houses Have Agents Out for
Next Years Clips.
That the eastern buyers expect wool
to be worth considerable next year IL
proved BY the fact that many. Boston
houses have agents in the field now,
especially in Montana, trying to mike
contracts for the delivery Of wool clips
next season. Offering to take them at 30
cents per pound delivered at the nearest
railway station next spring. The ma.
jority OF these agents are woolgroweYs
themselves, who get q. little commission
out Of the eastern houses and contract
fox as much wool as they can get in
their respective communities.
1t is generally conceded by eastern
buyers that the Montana market will
open at least 8 cents higher per pound
than it did last year and may even ex-
coed that figure, hence the desire Of
the buyers to contract for as much
wool as possible wbilo they can secure
it at a low rrice.
Reports from Boston this week say
that territory woods continue to lead in
sales. Values are Y stronger than
last week, and dealers are sanguine that
the top has not been reached yet.
Montana and Dakota, fine medium and
fine, are quoted at ~ to "a cents.
