GEMS OF GREAT PRICE
Two Transactions Involving Fine
Specimens of Fresh Water Pearls.

Although fishing for pearls has become
quite an important industry in the middle
west and the beautiful but inexpensive
baroques and wing pearls enjoy an eN-
tensve vogue. jewelers. have been afraid
to invest heavily in fine specimens of
sweet water pearls. J. B. Hudson of this
city handles many of these fine specimens.
His faith in their future has been greatly
strengthened by two transactions just
completed. One of his chief treasures, a
perfectly round pearl of an oriental white
tint, has just been sold. to a prominent
railroad man of New York city for s., 900.
1t was mounted in a ring with two fine
diamonds and the pearls weight is 80
grains. This was found at Comanche,
Iowa.
The most famous of the sweet wa ter
pearls is a black one found last year
near La Crosse. 1t is so remarkable that
it has been sent to New York three times
for exhibition. Most so-called black
pearls are in reality a dark smoke color.
but this is a true, lustrOus black, making
it very beautiful as we'll as unique. 1t Is
a perfect button shape and weighs 81
grains. This was sold to q Pittsburg
jeweler for 1000 unmounted. II is ru-
mored that it is to form the center of q

Incorporation.

A writ Of quo warranto was issued by
the supreme court to-day to test the
validity of the Incorporation of the viii
lage of Lucan, Redwood county. It Is re-
turnable Jan. 5. Application was made
by Joseph A. Eckstein of New Ulnn APP
pearing for several farmers who have been
brought, against their will, within the
limits of the village.
Lucan is a station on the new line Of
the North Western, between Sleepy Eye
and Marshall. A petition signed by
thirty three persons called an election,
which was held Dec. 3, and resulted in
eighteen votes for the incorporation and
fourteen against. The petition filed be-
fore the supreme court charges that the
object of the incorporation is to pass a
$500 license ordinance. the county of Red
wood requiring a $1,000 license fee. 1t
states that the village as laid out com
prises 1920 acres, Of which less than
I twentyt-hree are plated On the plated
property there are only four stores and
| four dwelling houses, and sixteen voters.
It is charged that some of the thirty-three
petitioners were non-residents, and that
| less than the required thirty names were

corporation recited that part Of the terri
tory should be exempt from payment OF
bonded indebtedness, but this right can
only be granted by the signature of
tfirty-f1ve freeholders.

Arguments for new trial in the Fred
