PRECIOUS GEMS
Have Fallen Off In Imports.

NEW YORK, July 13-There has
been . great falling off, during the
past year, is the value of precious
stones examined and passed at this
port. The difference between the TO-
tai last year and the total this, amounts
to about SO, 100000.
The loss may properly be attributed
to the disturba In the diamond in
dustry and result of the siege of Kim
berley. no diamonds having been IL in
ed during period of nearly four
months.
There is scarcity of rough dia-
monds in the market at present, and
such cut diamonds as are offered for
sale are at prices above figures which
importers are willing to paw.

OBITUARY.
Elliot Bradley.

Elliott Card Bradley was born in Nell
son. New York, August IS, 1918, and
died at his home in Ottumwa, Iowa,
March 10, 1900, aged 81 years.
At an earlv age he moved with his
widowed mother to Illinois, where he
resided until 1856. In 1912 he was
United in marriage to Miss Mahalla
Fpy OF Illinois, with whom he lived
happily until 1860. To them were born
four sons, all OF whom are living ex-
cepting the youngest, who died few
years since. In 1861 he was married
to Mrs. Mary Goodwill, OF Macomb,
Illinois. To this union were born eight
children, who, together, with his be-
reaved wife, are left to mourn their
loss.
The surviving children are julius,
William and Frank, of Macedonia; Mrs.
John Wright, Mrs. w. +. Musselman,
James r., Mrs. Robert Brown, Grant
w, Sherman T., George W., Of this
city, and Mrs. Arthur Summers, Of
Sioux City.
The deceased came to the state in
1855, and has been a resident of Wa
pello county for many years. He was
an intelligent and Industrious man,
and a worthy, upright and honorable
citizen. He was man of sterling
principles, and thru many years Of
trials and affections has proved hin-
self an affectionate and indulgent hus-
band and father. He leaves as many
friends and perhaps as few enemies
as is possible for any man.
+ In his earlier life he was member
OF the Congregational church, and the
greater part of his days has been
spent in endeavoring to serve his Crea.
Ton. In the past few years he has
been. identified with the Christian
church of South Ottumwa, where the
funeral services were held Thursday,
March Is, in the presence of many

CoUNTERFElT MONEY.
Two Bogus Bills Have Been Discover
ed by the Government.

Gu ~ the GOvoF0me0h
Two new counterfeit bills are float
ing around the country, monuments
to the misdirected efforts OF skilled
men who desire to partake OF the good
things of life without toiling for them.
One bill is OF the denomination of SIS
and the other ST.. The former is said
to be the hardest to detect and more
nearly resembles the genuine than the
latter. The five dollar counterfeit is
q silver certificate of the series OF 1896,
check letter B, Bruce register; Roberts
treasurer. 1t is printed on two sheets
from photo-etched plates and the
sheets are pasted together with red
and blue threads between them. The
note is characterized by the govern
|ment as dangerous counterfeit,
even tho the printing is somewhat
blurred.
The second bill is of the denomina-
ton OF ST, is silver certificate, and is
said to be not nearly so dangerous
as its more valuable rival. 1t is of the
series of 1899, check letter G, Lyons
register; Roberts treasurer. 1t is
printed from etched plates, the silk
lines of the genuine bill being simulat-
ed by letter press work.
The government does not say in
what locality these bogus bills are
being circulated, and Ottumwa banks
have not reported any counterfeits.

editor Courier-Perhaps some OF
your readers would be pleased to hear
from me thru the columns OF your
paper-where am and what I am
doing, and what I think of the new
gold discoveries at and near Cape
Nome. At present am with the Alas
ka Commercial company, as night

airy of $50 per month, and all ex-
penses. would not be with them
only that thought best to be on this
end OF the Yukon so that can reach
Nome early next spring, say the first
of July, which is spring in this coun-
try. As yet l have not been to Cape
Nome, but certainly shall go there
as soon as convenient to travel. Three
men will start from here with packs
on their backs on January 4, but for
my part cannot see what they will
gain to go there now as there is no
work there, and there will not be very
much until the snow is gone.
"We have fabulous reports from
Nome and vicinity even as far north
as Cape Prince Of Wales. and some new
discoveries as far south as thirty miles
north of st. Michaels, but do not think
much OF the new discoyeries-in fact, I
think they are fakes, but one cannot
well judge OF this country unless he
is on the spot. But certainly Nome is
the most wonderful gold district in
the world, no exception. Dawson is
not to be compared with it If one
half what one hears of Nome is true.
There will be a large exodus of peo-
pie from the states and Dawson next
spring for Nome, but OF course they
will be too late to accomplish much
for themselves unless they come with
money and go into business of some
kind, as wages will be small and it
will be out OF the question of getting
any mining property unless they buy
it. The beach diggings are already
taken up and 5000 people are staying
there this winter in order to hold their
rights for next summer. 1t rains all
the time there in the summer, and I'M
less one is well guarded against it he
will certainly get sick in this coun-
try. I do not write these things to
scare our friends away from here, but
such are the facts. would be only too
glad to meet some of my Ottumwa
friends up here SO that j could find

DRArH OF DAVID nAILssACsk.
Ono Time Resident or Ottumwa Dics In
RnZAnln N. m nnfa M.

Thursday, March S, occurred the
death of one of the old time residents
of this city, who for the past ten
years had been making his home in
Bozeman, Montana.
On Thursday, March 1, Mr.. Rails
back was walking on the abandoned
track of the Bozeman Street Railway
company, on his way back to the vest
ern part of the city, where he was
having a house built for himself and
family. He stumbled on a spike, fall-s
ing forward, it is supposed, over q tie.
and injured himself internally 10 that
medical aid was powerless to save his
life. He fingered until Monday eyen-3
ing, March S, when death ended his
terrible suffering.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. r. p. Dunlap, state evangelist
of the Christian church, and the mem.
bers OF the William English post, g. A..
r., part of the corps acting as pall-
bearers. The remains were inferred in
the Bozeman cemetery.
David Railsback was born near IN.
dianapolis, Ind, March ~, 1889. He
came to Iowa with his parents while
this state was yet territory, in 1e41.
He enlisted in the Third Iowa yolun-
teer cavalry at the beginning Of the
civil war, and received an honorable
discharge at the. close OF hostilities
in 1865. He was wounded in an ac-
ton at Montgomery, Ala, for which
he received pension. April "a, 1890,
he left Iowa for Bozeman, Mon-
tana, where he has since resided.
He leaves wife and three daugh.s
tiers. Two are married and the young
est lives with her mother. A son, w.
E. Railsback, has gone before his faith
er, having been killed by lightning
July 1, 1890. AL surviving members
of the family were present at his bed
side at the time of his death. The be-
reaved wife and children have the sym.
pathy Of many warm friends who sin-
cerely regret Mr.. Railsback's sudden
and untimely death.

DEAFNESS Cannot be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the

way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-

hearing, and when ii is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor

ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an inflamed con.

up the casing. 1t could not stay up
there forever and when it came down
Mr.. Creath caught it, holding it be-
tween his knees. The cat bit his legs
until the pain became unbearable, but
being determined to see the matter
! thru, Mr.. Creath reached down and
caught pussy by the hind legs. No
sooner had he done this than the cat,
by a series OF contortions, squirmed
around, and getting one of Mr.. Creath's
fingers in its mouth began chewing it.
Threats and persuasion alike were un-

alarmed for time because of the prob

time was very uneasy as to the out
