roRruRE Az GRINNELL.


The air was full of rumors the fore
part of the week to the effect that the
marshal and mayor had tortured man
under arrest into making confession
by the use OF rope, threats of violence
and actually stringing the fellow up.
There was just enough fact to give
color to the rumors. One of those pres
sent in the city hall at the time gave
out the story. AS we get 1t there was
no actual violence employed. A rope
was produced and placed upon the per-
son Of the accused and he was given his
choice to tell what he knew or undergo
certain torture The fellow told some
things. Mayor Spaulding, Marshal
Munger Internal Revenue Collector
Kimball. of Des Moines, Mr. Garter and
"Johnie,' were present. Mayor Spauld-

would be just as we'll to omit that feat
IRE in the future. Admissions made
under such circumstances are vaiueless,
and IL would be a dangerous practice To
follow. Officers might actually apply
the torture some time. In that event
some one might have to respond IN
damages. In the case of suspect,
who proved to be innocent, such a pro-
ceeding would be outrageous. 1t is best
not TO take any chances.

HAS WONDERFUL DIAMOND.
New York Firm Has Stone Worth Fab,
ulous Amount.

New York. Nov. 2.-The big blue dia-
mond, the importation of which was
announced by the custom authorities
here on Thursday, is the property OF
j. Drefcer & Son of 592 Fifth avenue.
General Mendel, the examiner of pre-
cious stones at the appraisers store.
said today that the gem was one of
the most wonderful he had ever seen.
"Of course. said he, Il have never
seen the Hope diamond. which is the
only blue diamond of great size that
most people know about. This stone
can only be compared to the Hope
gem; and indeed. in the comparison l
am not sure but the latter would suffer
in all but the matter of size"
General Mendel added that the blue
diamond now here was regular in
shape, while the Hope diamond was
Irregular, a point that counts lot
with diamonds" Then, too, he said
this stone is exceptionally brilliant
and of a deep shade Of blue and re-
markably clear. 1t Is nothing short of
wonderful"
General Mendel said that the esti-
mate of $4,000 as its foreign value
which has been mentioned, was not
correct. There is good reason, though,
to believe that $4,000 is about the
value the government placed on IT, al
tho jewelers. said today that such
valuation would be of no great sig
nificance, for the reason that neither
General Mendel nor any one else had
any standard to go by in estimating the
value of blue diamond.
The gem is of marquise shape ana is
cut in the modern style. 1t has about
100 facets Nothing like 1t has ever
been seen in this country befor. II. w.
James, the gem expert of Drelcer q
Son, said today:
II believe that we have the rarest
thing in diamonds in this or in any
other country except England, where
the Hope diamond is supposed to be,
but we do not care to go into particu-
lars as to how we came by it, This
diamond has been held for many years
lin a roughly cut state. We don't know
much of its history, but 1t is sufficient
to say that we purchased 1T from pfl-
waite individual after negotiations last
ing several years. 1t has never been IN
the market; that we know.
I'm our opinion, while not SO large as
the Hope diamond, ours is in some re-
spects its superior. as it is of deeper
blue. Strictly speaking. it is sapphire
blue, while the ape diamond is little
more slaty. AS to the value, you can
say that it is worth over $l00,OO0. we
don't care to go any closer than that.
The Hope diamond, which weighs
44lb carats, has been estimated to be
worth $250,0OO.

IoMoRRoW,s ELECTION.

With the close of tomorrows ballot
boxes one of the most notable of Iowa
camapigns will end. In the preliminary
stages of the republican canvass, there
was intense rivalry between two repub-
lican factions that tended to foster hope
among the democrats that with pru-
dent platform and 4 wise nomination
they might give the dominant party
merry chase, for the political plums.
But they committed series of blunders
when the time came. Men do not gath
er grapes from thorns and figs from
thistles' While the republicans wisely
came together, and agreed upon differ
ences the opposition went farther apart
than ever All the old antagonisms
on the silver issue We're intensified. To
cap the climax of injury they nomin-
ated man who is wholly unfit to occupy
the executive chair of Iowa. This seat
of honor has been held by some cf the
most worthy men in the state and ma
government to place such man as
Phillips in the position. However there
is no fear of it, and the chief duty of re-
publicans Tuesday will be to make the
majority against him as large as pos
sble. A $4,000 victory would be credit
able to the state under the circum-
stances. tho 1T is feared that corn fields
and apathy will reduce the plurality
really below what ought to expected.

able and inspiring leader as Mr.. Cum

tive of Some Real Persons and Places
in the Crisis" One of these is James
f. Yeatman to whom Mr.. Churchill
dedicated his former novel Richard

to Calvin Brinsmade, one of the most
lovable men in the story. AT the open
ing of the war, Mr.. Yeatman was well
known as banker and philanthropist in

about the time the book was published

bids him good bye in these words taken
from the story:

A POLITICAL REFUGEE.

The refusal of Gov. Durbin, of In
diana, to honor the requisition for Gov.
Beckham, of Kentucky, for the person
of Ex-Governor Taylor finds strong
Justification in the reasons offered for
declining to surrender him. He is
really a political refugee, a prosecuted
man. Governor Durbin states that he
has given careful consideration to the
mass of evidence placed In his hands
in the attempt sought to convict Taylor
and he unhesitatingly affirms that it is
self evident perjury. and that We're he
to honor the requisition he would only
be aiding the determination of the
prosecution to convict without any ref
erence to law, justice or fact.
Independent states administer their
own penal laws, and must prosecute
their cases within their own domain.
They assist in the enforcement Of other
criminal laws by surrender those
from foreign countries upon presump-
tive proof of crimes not political. In
this Taylor case, the application of
such rule would prevent his sur
render. Governor Durbin declares:
Il can not cause a man from whom
the presumption of innocence should
never be stripped. except by legal
methods, to be subjected to the rapine
of nolitical persecution"
He does not believe a fair trial can be
had and courageously stands upon his
ground.
1t is not creditable to Governor Beck
ham, who occupies a seat at the ex-
pense of Taylor that he should con-
tinue his attempts in the direction
named. yet it is to be presumed that he
considers it the part of consistency to
do So
