Diamonds in storaae.

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin.
 There are thousands of millions of dol lars worth of diamonds stored in the deep deeps. the underground safety deposit vaults. at the Kimberley mines
 in South Africa" said J II. Mortimer of Chicago. MT. Mortimer was a British soldier during the war with he Boers in 1881. and became intimate acquainted with the conditions there. '"rhe natives go down deep into the mines and bring up the clay like earth. which is spread in the sun and dried into a scaly brit tie material This Is examined very close ly for he precious stones, which are picked out. They are nothing but rough looking pebbles and their value cannot be estimated with any degree of certainty until they are polished. But the pebbles are not polished at once. They are pack ed up and sent down into the bowels of the earth again. The mine owners will not allow them to be sold, as the market would be flooded and the price would go down so that there would be no profit in the gems Instead they are stored in big vaults 1nd brought mp few at the time as the market conditions demand. As l said, there are thousands of mill lions of dollars worth of diamonds stoc- ed away"

PoPuLlsTs DO NOTHING.
Effort Will Be Made to Fuse With the
 Democrats.

Topeka, Kan, April 12.-The popn- list state convention met here today and adjourned without making any nominations. The delegation will meet in Topeka on August 3, at which time an effort will be made to fuse with the democrats. A state convention of dem ocrats will be held here on the same day.
 The result was not reached until the issue had been well fought The e-of-theroaders strongly insisted on nominating a state ticket without reference to anything the democrats wanted The other element tried to patch up a deal to nominate two SUI preme court justices, governor and one or two other state officers, have these endorsed by the democrats, who would name the remainder of the ticket If Seth w. Harris would have consented to run for governor, the warning ele- ments would have been reconciled without trouble as both wanted him He refused, however. and a split con vention was the result.

 It is the first time in the history of recent years that such a general rec ognition has been given an effort of this sort. and the fact that whisky men were as prompt as any other mer- chants in closing their doors has caused much comment.

which he has himself used in his own ex- tensive private practice with the most startling success. Though the years have nassed it's equal has never been fonnd and with it thousands of weak men have brought about the cures they so much longed for. The doctor willingly sends the formula entirely free to any man who writes him for it, and they will find 1t a gift of lasting value. It is good for sex ual weakness, lost manhood, nervousness. weak back. emissions. varicocele, lack of force prostatic trouble, night sweats in- ability and the many other embarrassing conditions that befall the sexually imper- feet man. It creates an immediate social feeling warmth and good nature. forces active blood to the muscular tissue, tones the nervous system and arouses bodily confidence. It makes the man of 65 as good as at 35. and the young man again eager for society and fit for marriage and parenthood. Satisfactory results are pro- duced in a days use and a perfect cure in a few weeks, regardless of age. or the cause of your condition.
 If you need such a remedy send your name and addres today to the Dr. Knapp Med Co. 1900 Hull bldg. Detroit Mich. and in an unmarked envelope the doctor will at once send you the receipt, as prom ised explaining in detail what ingredients to use and how to compound them so that any weak man can cure himself in his own home without being under obligations to anyone. It costs you nothing and the sooner you write the sooner you will be cured
