SHE BUYS CATTLE

Mrs. Ollie Northlane Is fairly ''the
rattle queen of the West" In her
unique vocation OF cattle buyer she
has, indeed, proved the theory Of
woman sufragists, that the gentler
sex is admirably capable Of plunging
into the business world on an equal
footing with man.
1t is said by stockmen that she is one
of the most capable judges of cattle
and hogs in the United States. She
has the quotations at her tongues
end. BY glancing at a consignment of
cattle she can tell very closely what
they should bring when shipped to
market In deciding on the relative
value Of stock Mrs. Northlane can
pick out good steer as quickly and
accurately as the average woman can
select a new Easter gown. In BUSH
ness transactions Mrs. Northlane pos
sesses unusual wisdom to cope with
trying business situations, and is as
Ehrewd and clever to trade with as
often falls to the lot Of man to meet
with.
Besides the high reputation she has
gained in the stock business, she has
talent enough left to make a success
in various other and finer lines. She
Is an expert telegraph operator. an ac-
complished musician and a fine lin
guist. She converses freely in Ger
man, French, Scandinavian and Bohe-
mian.
In personal appearance Mrs. North
lane has much to be desired. She is

AFRICAN DIAMONDS.
First Discovered by an Irishman, John
O'ReIIly.

First Discovered by an Irishman, John
O'ReIny.
Mr.. John O'Reilly, who had occasion
in the winter Of 1867 to do business in
the Hopetown District Of Griqualand
West, on the other side Of the Vaal
river, first discovered diamonds in
South Africa He passed a night at
the house of Schalk van Niekerk, a
Dutch farmer. While bartering with
the Boer and his wife O'Reilly's at
tention was attracted by a game the
children were playing, being particu-
larly struck with the peculiar trans
parency of one Of the pebbles used In
the game. Though O'Reilly had never
seen a diamond in the rough he ex-
pressed an opinion that the pebble
played with by the children was really
the precious gem. The farmer ridi-
culed the idea, saying 0'Reilly might
have it II he cared for the rubbish,
adding that there were plenty more OF
them in the river clay. O'Reilly accept
ed it on the understanding that IL 1t
turned out to be a diamond the farm
er should receive half the sum. At
Colesburg it was submitted to experts,
most Of whom denied 1t being Of much
value, but DR.. Atherstone, Of Grahams-
town, pronounced It to be a veritable
diamond weighing 2315 karats and
worth $500. The then governor OF
the Cape, Sir Philip Wodehouse.
bought it for that sum- Diamonds

enjoy life is the possession of

wakes up bright and early in the
morning will he be like a giant re-
freshed, ready to set about rebuild
ing the airy fabric Of the dream
that has occupied his waking
hours for eight years past? Very
likely. He would like, no doubt,
after having led the Democratic
party to disastrous defeat in two
battles, to make a third attempt to
win the presidential crown of
thorns. But the candidate who
has been discredited by two such
overwhelming defeats is not likely
to be intrusted with the leadership
of his party a third time. He has
fought his last battle as a presi-
dental candidate. He has not
only lost his battle but his cause.
It is not only Bryan but Organism
that is defeated. His party will
not only repudiate his leadership
but his principles, his theories, all
that he stands for in his revolu-
tionary and anarchic scheme of
politics. Free silver is dead for
ever. And if yesterdays verdict
means anything, it means that
anarchism will seal the fate of any
party in America that tries to
make it a stepping. stone to power.
Henceforth Mr.. Bryan is out Of
the game.-Pioneer Press.

said, he was sold to General

How is it that some of the anti
saloon people worked and voted
for Creel, when the fact is motor
ious that shifty schemer not only
had the blind pigs with him but
also had his own private whiskey
depots located in several places in
the county? At Bartlett Creel
whiskey was openly poured out
for a week before election. At
Crazy a prominent merchant dis
pensed Creel whiskey to the thirsty
voters and Creel strikers from some
of the towns north Of Crazy went
there with written orders from
Creel and got liberal supplies of
fire water to be used at the polling
places. There is but one explana-
ton and that is that Creel made
the anti-saloon people believe that
he was a prohibitionist, just as he
made the piggers believe he would
vote for resubmission, just as he
made some Republicans believe
he was a Republican and some
Democrats believe he was a Demo.

NOW?

The Nebraska Republicans have
not only won the state for McKin-
ley, but the control of the legisla-
ture, thus defeating the scheme of
sending Bryan to the senate.
What will Bryan do now? The
dispatches say that when the re-
turns dissipated his dream Of being
elected president he retired and
went to sleep. It is to be hoped
he slept soundly. But when he
