DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.

Ali of Texarkana is, or was agog
yesterday over a diamond trans
action that was had in This city, in
which a we'll known barber and
jeweler were the principal actors.
The tranaction has caused much
talk and the reporter called upon
Mr.. Allison the barber to give his
virson of the diamond transaction.
He said
Some eight months ago the Jew
eler in question, came into the bar
ber shop wearing a good looking
ring and asked me what l would
give for it. | thought the ring was
a valuable one and | told him a
couple of dollars and he pulled it off
and handed it to me. l gave him
the two dollars and he laughed and
said the ring was worth 80 cents.
After this when the jeweler came
to the shop to be shaved he would
call me Farmer, and ask me if /
wanted to buy another ring, and ]
invariably told him No. Day be.
fore yesterday" added Mr.. Allison,
81 was standing in the door of
Lowry & Hacks barber shop where
| work, when the jeweler came up
and addressing me said: Come in
Old Farmer, ! have a bargain for
you in a ring At this | told him
TO look up some one else to unload
his bargains on, and he replied,
you haven't got any nerve, |
turned at this and he took off his
ring and said, Il will sell you this
ring, which, upon the honor Of a
gentleman is genuine diamond
ring, for two dollars. When he said
this Mr.. Hack, | think had reached
out for the ring, and believe had
it in his hand, and l took the ring
and said, believe l will just risk
$500 on it. put the ring in my
pocket and gave him the $500. AT.
ter a while he asked for the setting
in the ring, saying he did not sell
the stone, only the ring, and wanted
me to produce it so he could punch
it out. | told him he did not punch
out the stone of the ring he sold me
some eight months ago and / GER
tainly would not let him have the
stone in this one AT this he tried
to replevy the ring but the officers
failing to locate the property and
had to abandon this part Of the
transaction. 1t was finally agreed
to leave it to arbitration of several
business men, and they decided that
the jeweler should pay me the
worth of the ring ($ll0) for its re.
turn, which he did," Here Mr..
Allison added, is a true statement
as / can make about the trans
action.

The Latest x Ray Invention

Is the Endoseope, which is for the pur-
pose of examining the interior of the
stomach. 1t is claimed, that with this
instrument, the treatment of stomach
troubles will be revolutionized, as it To-
Gates the cause of disease. With due
respect to science, however, would
state that the causes of stomach
troubles have been known for the past
fifty years, and likewise their cure,
which is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
a medicine that has many imitators,
but no equals. 1t cures dyspepsia, in
digestion, biliousness, constipation,
nervousness, insomnia. 1t also pre-
vents malaria, fever and ague, and
keeps the bowels regular. When not
feeling right, take dose. 1t is the
standard medicine of the American
people. Look for Private Revenue

From 1858 down to the present day,
said Governor McCord of Arizona in
recent address, the officers of the U. S.
Engineer Corps have been advocating
The building of reservoirs as a means of
protection and not for the purpose of
irrigation. They have claimed that
the only way to regulate the volume of
water and prevent the annual destruc-
tion of property if not of life, was to
control the flow of waters at the head
of the stream from which it came.
They have claimed that it was practi-
cable to impound the waters in spring
time when the rains come, and the
snow melts, and allow it to escape
gradually instead of in great de-
vastating floods. Now, the advance
ment of civilization has made the con-
servation of these waters not only val
liable, but necessary for agricultural
purposes.

A married lady ofDeLamar was badly

little play designed by herself. 1t ap-
pears that her husband, who was in.
the habit of coming home late at night
used to enter the house through the
kitchen, which caused his wife to be-
come suspicious of a young lady stop
ping at the house, and who occupied a
room adjoining the hash factory of the
peaceful abode. SO hearing gentle
footstep about the usual hour, she pro-
cured the favorite wrap of the visitor
(who was out calling) and, taking a
position by the door, was soon en-
braced and kissed to her hearts con-
tent. AS soon as she could release
herself from his slobbering grasp, she
struck match and holding it full in
his face, beheld the crimson features
of the girls best fellow, and the mar
ried man who always looks on the
bright side of life, says that since then
he hasn't been treated SO well since

The indiscriminate construction of
reservoirs for holding flood waters has
in the past and will again lead to
trouble, vexation, and great loss. If
constructed without due regard to the
future, it will frequently happen that
higher up the catchment area other
enterprises will be undertaken which
will prevent the filling of the lower
reservoir, render it ituseless, and destroy
the value of the lands below. By gov
ernment control this element of danger
would be eliminated and the works
would be constructed on such a scale
and with such reference to the future
as to benefit the greatest number.

Some time ago Gov. Brady stated that under certain restrictions the natives Indians) should be granted the rights, privileges, etc., of citizenship, and i'm mediately some of the newspapers of the district became very wroth at the governor. A short time ago Judge Brown, of the U. S. District Court, in denying the application of Mir. Burton, a British Columbia Indian, for citizen, ship, quoted from the U. s. statutes as follows: Sec. 2Io3, Rev. Stat. U. S., seems to indicate that under some cir cumstances an Indian may acquire the rights of citizenship. By the Act of February 8th, ISS7-24 Stat. at Large, 3S8-it is provided that allotment of land may be made to Indians, and by Sec. 6 of said Act it is further provided that an Indian born within the United States, to whom land has been allotted and who has severed his tribal relations and adopted the habits of civilized life, thereby becomes citizen of the Unit ed States, and is entitled to all the rights, privileges and immunities of such citizenship. This seems to be the o1Iy method provided by law whereby an Indian may become a citizen"

DOMAINS CHRISTMAS LETTER.

DONANi iO OElNlO 1uAO LE1 1LIG.
 On the 25th day of December, 1897, Col. Pat Donan addressed communi- cation to Judge Foster, the editor of 'Living Issues, published at Salt Lake City, in which the Col. relieved his ov erburdened soul in the following re- marBable combination of brilliant words put together in that artistic form only known to Col. Pat-and touching both houses of congress, the president of the United States, other chief officials, and not even negIecting the great literary writers of the age.
 We haven't space for the whole letter but here is enough to satisfy the cray ing of an appetite for an exposition of the character of public men, which is shown up on the plan of throwing dyn- amite, and from the explosion which follows turning everything inside out, so that the lookerson may behold the most secret recesses cf every heart en- gagged in political life. Here is a DOT tion of what Col. Donan said:
 Was there ever, since God Almighty scooped out hell, and turned the devil loose, a country, passing for civilized and Christianized, cursed and blasted, and nastied, with or by such damna, ble lot of crosses between bobcats and devilfsh, hyenas, harpies, jackals, and jackasses, carrion vultures, greenhead flies and grave-worms, as now squirm and screech and stink in both houses of congress, in every department of the government, and in nine-tenths of all the alleged great newspaper" offices ot the Union?
