New York sun. It Is estimated that tho
total world production OF diamonds up to
date approximates s5.0oo.0oo carats. As
we are not In the habit OF weighing or
diamonds by the ton, We are in some
doubt concerning the proper system Of
computation, whether troy or ~avoirdupois.
long ton or short ton. According to the
system used by those who do weigh their
diamonds IN ton quantities, the result
would be I'm the neighborhood OF twenty
or twenty-five tons of sparklers now APP
pearing as factors in the joys Ind the
miseries Of a world which has substituted
diamonds for tina beads and the wampum'
OF Its ancestors.
The regions contributing to this sup
ply and the percentage of their contribu-
ton appear as follows: South Africa, Sf.6
per cent. Brazil. 1876 per cent, and the re-
naming 5 per cent divided among Borneo,
India, New South Wales and British
Guiana, with North America and Russia
supplying specimens. The last two or
these countries have furnished just about
enough TO equip an opera box for a sin
gle evening. The deep obligation OF so
ciety to South Africa Is fully apparent.
The price OF diamonds has been heavily
advanced during the last yea of two, buzz
II Is simply appalling to think the
price would have been without the South
African supply. Society, American. Eng
lish and continental, Should Tally tina *
heaven for Kimberley and Jagersfontein.
We are unable TO give the cubic meas
,rement of the total collection, but so far
as weight is concerned It would make a
load for a medium sized freight car.

|STOCK GROWERS
eleventh MEETING
Western South Dakota Assoc
alton Annual Convention
just Closed.
QUESTIONS
Express Hope That Beef Trust Mo-
Being Investigated by Labor
Bureau Can Be Dissolved
Other Business.

Rapid City, $. D., April iS.-The
Western south Dakota Stock Growers
association has concluded It's eleventh
and most important annual convention.
There were before the meeting a num-
Der OF questions of the greatest inn
p~ortance to the live stock business and
they were considered in the most
thoughtful manner. Cattlemen OF he
west are annoyed seriously by condi-
tions and are watching with the great
est interest for the turn I'm the affairs
directing them. Among the most seri-
Gus conditions concerning them is that
brought about by the beef packing
combine, which is being investigated at
present by the department of
and labor. While the government Is
hopeful that this investigation may
result favorably to their industry. they
expressed their greatest hope in the
Independent Packing company, which
they are giving all possible support and
encouragement. 1t Is feared that no
immediate relief Is to be looked for
from either source.
The railroad companies of the coun-
try have resolved not to give return
trip passes to cattle shippers, and this
is also causing much concern among
cattlemen.
The third cause OF perplexity is a
demand from eastern money lenders
for the immediate payment OF loans on
western cattle, this causing the cattle
men much embarrassment. II Is be-
lieved that the reports published
months ago concerning the heavy loss
OF cattle on the western ranges have
intensified this condition. While losses
have been heavy IT is now realized that
they did not approximate previous re-
ports.

That Acid Trouble.

Colusa, Cal, April 1S.-Much mas

Uric Acid in the system; what causes
ii and how TO get rid of it. Ii is known
TO be the first cause of Rheumatism
and many other diseases, and has
therefore received n great deal OF at
tcntion from medical men.
Mr.. l.. +. Moulton of this place
claims that he has solved the problem
of how to get this acid out of the sys-
tenn. He says:
II had this acid trouble myself for
years. At times the Kidney secretions
would be very profuse and at other
times scant, but the acid was always
greatest trouble. Medicine failed

ILLEGAL FISHING.
Most Active Campaign Of Game Warde,.
Ia AGAINST Fishermen.

Deadwood, s. D., April An. b.
Ocumpaugh las been reappointed fish
and game warden for Lawrence county,
the appointment being made by the
county commissioners at the instance
of the Lawrence County Fish n
Game Protective association. The sal
airy Is SIS a month and he has the au-
thority to appoint deputy wardens as
they may be required. Mr.. O~cumpaugh
served as warden In Lawrence county
last year and waged ar active cam
paign against persons violating fish and
game laws OF the state. There We're n
number Of prosecutions and although
the only convictions obtained were in
minor cases, the work resulted in al
most a total suppression of the Of
lenses. The greatest offense against
the fish and game laws has been the
use Of dynamite for killing fish in the
treams. This has threatened the total
determination OF the game fish, and al
though no convictions have been OBJ
tanned owing to the difficulty of get
ting positive information. Mr.. Ocum-
paugh's work seems to have driven the
dynamiters from the field and no new
wilderness have been reported.

INTERESTING DECISION.
Supreme Court Holds in Cases Re-
manded Action Must Be Stated.

Huron, S. D., April 16.-The legal
fraternity throughout the state as well
as the people concerned in tax titles
will be interested in a decision just
handed down by the supreme court
In Il case carried to that tribunal
from this, Beadle, county.
More than three years ago Elsie j.
Schnepper, i~ntervenor, brought suit to set
aside a tax title on real estate In this
city against Allie T.. Ferguson. The ac-
fore he retired from the bench. lie rem
dered n decision In favor of the Intervene
and vacated the tax deed. The defendant,
Ferguson, appealed from the Judgment
OF Judge Campbell TO the supreme court.
That court first affirmed Judge Campbells
decision, but subsequently the case was
opened for reargument by the supreme
court on n petition for rehearing, filed by
the defendant. on this rehearing the SUI
preme court disafhrmed its former de-
CIsion and reversed the decision of Judge
Campbell and remanded the case TO the
circuit court for further proceedings, ac-
Cording to law.
circuit court the defendant moved that
court, Judge Whiting presiding, for judg-
ment on the findings made by Judge Camp
bell on the former trial. Judge Whiting
held that he had no discretion In the mat
ter; that the mandate Of the supreme
court was absolute and under II he was
compelled to render a decision In favor OF
the defendant, thus cutting off the right
of the intervenor for a new trial I'm the
action before the circuit court. The in
tervcnor, Elsie J. Schnepper, then made
an application TO the supreme court for a
writ of mandamus to compel Judge Whit
ing TO vacate the Judgment rendered I'm
favor OF the defendant and TO retry the
case. The supreme court handed down
its decision Wednesday. In this decision
IL mentions that unless that court spe-
officially points out the action to be taken
by the circuit court I'm cases remanded,
the effect of Its action Is a new trial In
the lower court. Under this decision Judge
Whiting will now vaCate the judgment
which he entered in favor OF the defend
ant and the case will be retired before
this court, the same as II 1t had never been
tried.
This decision settles a point OF practice
which has never been before the court for
decision and II has been quite a mooted
question among the members OF the bar OF
the state as to what would be the action
taken by the supreme court when the mat

= How the Jury Was Chosen.

Rochester Post-EXpress: AprOpos OF
the temperance in the political arena
Of cX-Lieutenant Governor Tlllman, of,
South Carolina. there IS al extraordi-'
nary story in the Louisville Courier
Journal that throws new light On ourl
jury system and the practice Of crimi-
nal law. According to our Louisville
contemporary there was never any
doubt az to the result of the trial in,
the minds of the defense, and IT goes,
On to give the reason for this feeling of
safety. AS soon as 1t was known in
what county the Tillman case would bel
tried, say the Journal, men represent
ing themselves as agents for a pictureN
enlarging establishment made their APP,
peaTanCe in that county. There were
a dozen of them, and each man carried,
with MIN as a sample of the work done
by his house an enlarged portrait of
'Fillnar. which vas so natural that nc
one could fail to recognize 1t. h agent
treated the women with marked polite
ness but always did business with the
man I the house. After a few MINI
utes' conversation he would display
Tllman's picture. This naturally
enough would lead to a discussion oG
The Gonzales killing, and by adroit
Luestioning-the agents were lawyers
The would soon discover
whether the man was in sympathy with
L.illman or against him. In this way
The entire. county was canvassed; not a
house was missed; and when the trial.
was called the attorneys for the defense
tytre armed with an alphabetical list OF
he entire male population of the coun-
iy eligible for jury service, and opposite
tach name vas a memorandum showing
.ow he stood on the case. When a a
was called who was marked danger
u.s. on the list, he would be forced to
tate that he had expressed an opin-
IN, and was therefore ineligible for
/ arvice on the jury. This story, II true,
FINISHES food for thought. The scheme
f, so simple that the great wonder Is
HAT it never was tried before. 1t Is
heaper han bribery, less bungling n
lluch safer. In the hands of skilful
Eorkers it does not seem as IL 1t could
llil in a rural community.

GOOD CROP PROSPECT.
In Lincoln County Farmers Have
Practically COMPLETED SEEDING.

Canton, s.. D., April 1S.-The pros
poets for a good crop Of small grain
are exceptionally bright I'm this locality
so far this spring. Farmers nave prac-
tically completed the work OF seeding
their wheat, oats and barley ten days
or more earlier than they were able to
complete the same work last year.
Early seeding always makes for n big
crop and good quality of wheat I'm this
country, and the farmers are therefore
putting i'm more wheat this spring han
they have seeded for many years; the
prospects for good prices, due to the
wal I'm the far cast, has also stimulated
the notion that wheat will be an unu-
sually paying investment among farm
ers this season, and here will be an
increase In the acreage of probably 20
per cent The acreage OF corn will he
considerably smaller this year than II
has been I'm the past three or four years,
partially owing to the act that the
crop has met with a partial failure the
past two years, and partially to the
prevailing low prices OF beef and pork.
The ground Is I'm excellent condition I'm
this part of the country, the farmers
say, II they are all hopeful OF "a
favorable crop year.
