STRUGGLED DIAMONDS.
AdoIph Peabody Charged with Evad-
ing Duty ON Precious stones.

NEW YORK, Oct. N.-Collector Bidwell
and Deputy Collector Phelps. of the Gus
toms service, were much chagrined to-day
over the publication OF a story dealing
with the alleged smuggling operations OF
Adolph Peabody, formerly diamond deal
er of this city. Peabody was before Collec-
tor Bidwell yesterday on charges that he
had smuggled a quantity OF diamonds.

in business here about year ago and Ia
tired to make a satisfactory settlement with
his creditors, among them two large da-

body's diamonds being detained came from
one OF these sources and that the motive
was revenge. The diamonds are now In the
ha.-is OF the collector and will be appraised
in day or two. Peabody voluntarily sur
rendered the greater part OF them yester-
day, taking them from a safe deposit box
in vault OF the National Park Bank. The
collector declined 10 discuss the matter to-
day beyond admitting that the diamonds
were in his possession.

Cannot Afford Mistakes.

Baltimore American.
At late meeting in New York of a
womans society tor political study one of
the speakers declared that public or pro-
fessional woman could not afford to make a
mistake, as, though similar mistakes would
pass unnoticed in a man, everything women
do in the same line is looked at through
magnifying glasses. The speaker declared
a fact, but not one of which women have
any right TO complain. Such is the fate of
all pioneers. and, while this rigid standard

United States Senator Mason, Of Illinois,
says he will resign if the Republican ma
tional convention, next year, does not de-
clare against criminal aggression in the
Philippines. The convention will certainly
not declare against criminal aggression in
the Philippines, because there has been
nothing of the kind. If the instruction is
not suppressed and the war ended before
the convention meets. as is pretty sure to be
the case, it will declare in favor of a Wig
orous prosecution of the war; and if such
a declaration will hasten the resignation of
the junior senator from Illinois so much
the better. Besides a noisy, blatant dema-
gogue, he is light weight and out of place
in the Senate. His resignation would be
gratifying to patriotic Americans every
where and would only be regretted by
Aguinaldo and his friends.

that such fears were groundless. The inter-

element of doubt is the vote of Jones. He
is not gaining now because his pretensions

Judge Nash will be elected by a fair plu-

defeat of Mclean.

The Girls Industrial School is one of the
most interesting and deserving among the
voluntary charities of this city. For many
years past a number Of women have given
freely of their time and labor in instructing
poor girls in sewing and other domestic
arts. The result has been to lead many
girls into industrious habits and improve
and brighten many homes. The work
should not be allowed to cease or languish
for lack of the little aid it needs, and the
threatened resignation of the president of
the school on that account should lead the
charitably inclined to rally to its support.

1t Is the duty OF railroads as common
carriers to serve all customers and ship
pers alike. An agreement to handle cars
of stock for one stockyards alone to the
exclusion OF any other should be construed
as contrary to public policy and to the
spirit OF the charter which makes a rail-
road public servant. To enforce such an
agreement would be to recognize the trust
principle in it's worst form.

THE COUNTY FAIR.
Secretary Dickinson Tells OF Some OF

Secretary S. NJ Dickinson, of the

this year will be better than ever. Gen.
Moses Clapp will give the address on

Lind will speak on the last day. The
speeches will commence at one O'Clock
in the afternoon, and will not be on

speakers.
Mr.. Dickinson states that the race
track is in good shape. There are to
be bicycle races on the Both and bicy-
Gle parade on the 31st. Many wheel
men have promised to attend.
A ball game between Winnebago
City and Mankato will be played on
the Both, and another game on the 31st.
The trains run very well for Mankato
people, and no doubt a large number
will attend.

EXAMINATION REQUIRED.
Mankato High School Teachers Must
Brush up Their Knowledge.

State Superintendent Lewis has rem
dered a decision in the case of Samuel
J, LeDue which may require Supt.
Uline and all of the high school teach
ers to take an examination before
County Supt. Freeman before they can
be permitted to enter upon their
duties next month. Mr.. LeDue did
not take the recent teachers
examination and his case was
referred to the state superintendent.
He is the new principal of the Maple
ton high school. Mr.. Lewis holds that
he must pass an examination to be
given him by Mr.. Freeman before a
certificate can be issued to him, al
though he is graduate of the univer
sity OF Minnesota.
Mr. Freeman believes that no other
construction can be placed upon the
ruling than that the Mankato high
school teachers must also pass an
examination.
