MORE SPURIOUS ECONOMY.

The Independent should keep in
mind the fact that WORLD has never
pretended that the county printing
cost too much. While that paper has.
We have made no hypocritical plea
for economy in printing bills but the
Independent has and yet in last
weeks issue confeSSeS to having re-
ceived S171, which in comparison with
the work done, is the highest ever
paid in this county 1t at least pre-
tends to charge the county only 20 per
cent of legal rates. Bear in mind al
so that WORLD first reduced the rates
tt that figure. If s77I is only 20 per
cent then 100 per cent, the former
and legal rate, would be LOO. This
is more than S1,049 paid WORLD, at
legal rates in 1896. OF this sum about
800 was for publishing the Patterson
report and SI16.50 for publishing
the ticket, under the previous law,
and which the Independent did not
publish this year. This is not all: At
the same time the Independent pull
election printing which. under the
law at that time, was a considerable
item in the even years. especially, as
the ticket is much larger than in the
odd years. In 1894, at legal rates,
WORLD was paid 1899. Deducting
S2I0 for publishing the ticket and
printing ballots leaves but 1929 for do
ing the work for which Cox s. Olson
charge S111 this year at what is said
TO be only 40 per cent of legal rates.
our point is that the Independent is
inconsistent and deceptive if not pos
ItiYely dishonest. While crying
ECONOMY" loud and long, it has never
saved the county one cent on county
printing. Bear in mind also that
WORLD offered to do this work at %
per cent OF legal rates but was turned
Iown by the commissioners last Jan
u,,ry- Still we are thankful for the
$500 which we got out of the county
tnIS year. 1t is more than Sc although
sc quite as big as S77I.

No one should begrudge the SOC
which the commissioners paid Sam
Hutzel last week for attending to the
Olson printing case in the Appellate
court. 1t was also proper to pay the
S14 travelling expenses which he in
Cured, and pay it promptly, too. 1t
was also proper to pay the Independ-
ent for printing his brief in the case
Still, after all, two or three thoughts
will occur to the average taxpayer
The S64 might have been saved if Mr.
Olson had been willing to respect the
contest court decision and it is poor
rule that doesn't work both ways in
payment of claims against the county
Hutzel gets his money even if Harwi
and Jones don't.

Vanderbilt Electric cabs.

The New York Central railroad is TO es-
tablish a model cab service. Officers OF
the company say that when completed the
plans will provide the best service of tine
kind In the world.
In the remode,led Grand Central Sta
ton a department covering large era
will be devoted TO the enterprise. Mr.. ".
h. Vanderbilt himself is said 20 be the
protector of this scheme to better ac-
commodate the public
The vehicles 10 be installed will be
electric ones. They will include all types,
from the small coupe 10 large buses
capable Of carrying baggage as well as
passengers
Ii is minated that the plan may have
much wider scope than merely the ac-
commodation Of passengers going 70 and
from the Grand Central Station. At the
start enough vehicles Will be in commits
sion 10 meet all the requirements OF New
Yark Central Harlem, and New Haven
trains. II Is not improbable, when so
much Is satisfactorily accomplished, that
the service will be broadened 10
aford advantages TO other than

Is credited with the theory that
such extension Of the service
will work direct advantages 10 the

III Milwaukee, which, on examination,
proved to be a white diamond Of nearly
six aud half karats' weight. II was
found by Conrad Schaefsr, a German
farmer at Saukvflle Oxaukec county.
Wis. In a letter to the writer Mr..
Schaefer says Of this stone: This diamond
Is from a collection OF gems, stones,
and fossils, also Indian implements, all
collected on my land. My land adjoIns
the Milwaukee river and Is a drift range
running northeast and southwest. l had
the stone about fifteen or sixteen years
In my possession.
This diamond was purchased by Mil
waukee jewellers.
In 1893 this firm purchased from Mrs.
G. Pufahl white diamond of about two
karats' weight said to have been found
at. Burlington, Racine county, Wis. Lit
tie was learned at the tlpe Of the cir
cumstances attending the finding of this
stone. and the writer's subsequent at
tempts TO get into communication with
MS. Pufahl. though kindly assisted by
the firm. have not beer successful. Like
most OK the others. this diamond was,
probably found IN the glacial drift.
The latest diamond to come from the
region under consideration was found re-
Gently. 1t is a diamond OF purest water,
weighing six karats, and was found by
two small daughters OF j. r. Taylor, at
the town Of Milford Clermont county, ..

Cincinnati, and has recently been cut
into the form Of a brilliant Before cut
ting a cast was taken Of It and he
stone is now being studied by Professor
Thomas n. Norton, Of the University or
Cincinnati. ii Is seen from the fore
going that no less than seventeen Well
Identified diamonds. varying in weight
from one half to twenty-one karats, nave
been discovered in the regions OF the
Great Lakes Of North America. That
considerable number Of others have been
found which have not been reported, pc
cause they escaped Identification, hardly
admits of reasonable doubt, when il is
borne in mind that three II the stones

diamonds would be discovered In the little
collections of pebbles and local
"curios" which accumulate on the clock
shelves of country farm-houses.
With a view 10 preventing the loss Oh

of the finders as 10 their true value, IL
is proposed by competent mineraiSsists
To examine free all stones brought 10
