A DIAMOND MISSING.
LIE Roy Dresser's Mother-in-Iaw Loses
Precious Stone.

Newburg, July 24.-Mrs. Douglas w.
Burnham, whose summer home Bea-
conside,. is in Matteawan, is perplexed
by the strange disappearance of a ST.
600 diamond from a brooch of Is stones.
1t has been missing for over a week.
The matter was only made public today.
She attended a society event at the Old
Teller House, Matteawan, and wore the
brooch.
Going home Mrs. Burnham remem-
bered placing it in her strong box and
at that time did not notice that one of
the stones was missing. When she went
to wear it again she missed the stone.
1t was one of a set of gems which
were in earrings worn by her mother
and is valued for its associations.
Mrs. Durham, who is the mother-in-
law of D. Leroy Dresser, intends on
her return from Maine to take the
brooch to Tiffany to ascertain if the
stone dropped out or was forced. A
strange feature of the disappearance is
the fact that there were other diamonds
in the box and Mrs. Durham always
keeps the key in hiding. B..

BACK TO SPELLING BEES.
Allentown School Board Appalled, by
Pupils Orthography.

Allentown, Pa, July 24.-Appalled
by the weird and awful condition of
the photography of many of the pupils
of the schools of this city. the board of
control has come to the conclusion
that the only way to remedy the evil
was to return to the old fashioned
spelling bees, and while it has taken
no final action in this matter it will no
doubt shortly recommend that spelling
bees be once more re-esta blished in
the city schools. ut makes me tired"
said a, prominent member of the board,
ito hear a boy know all about the
movements of the heavenly bodies and
then spell accepted accepted
When the average boy goes out into
the world to make a living he'll soon
discover that knowing how to spell is
more valuable than to be able to rattle
off just how many miles Venus is
from the earth or how many rings
Saturn has,

The sheriff from Hutchinson, Kan,
came to Topeka Saturday night to cues
ton ]. A. Mohland, the young man who
was assaulted and robbed by an I'M
known negro last Saturday morning.
ABOUT week ago a young harvest

was Mohland, bound hand and foot
gagged with dirty handkerchief and
dragged into a cornfield and robbed.

NEW JOB FOR BRISTOW
He May Become Printer for Uncle
Sam.

Washington, July 24,-The name of Jo-
seph L. Bristow of Kansas is said to be
under consideration by President Roose-
welt as a successor to Public Printer Pal
mer, if the latter retires under the Keep
investigation proceedings, in which testi-
mony is being taken why a large number
of Lanston typesetting machines were
bought and installed under peculiar cir
cumstances.
It can be stated, however. that Bris-
tow's name is used in speculative sense
and that there is no authority back of it
at this stage of the discussion. Certain
friends of the ex-fourth assistant post
master general discredit the story. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has expressed no views
to the identity of the man who is to sue
coed Palmer, and if Palmer goes he is
not likely to consider an appointment until
after the Keep commission has made its
report.
Under the law the place can be given
only to a practical printer. Bristow meets
the requirements of the law in that partic
ular But the law further provides that
the person appointed to the office shall
have no interest in any newspaper or peri
odical. Mr.. Bristow is the publisher of a
newspaper in Kansas.

YeIIs OF Woman Passenger Start a
Trolley Panic.

Omaha, July 24.-Piercing yells
from a young woman in a crowded
street car, followed by a sudden ap-
pIicatfon of brakes, created a panic
among the other occupants. Those in
the rear, thinking a collision imminent.
made a dash for the platform. The
screams frightened a passing team,
which started on a mad gallop down
the street, filed with people walking
to work, and the woman herself passed
into a fit of Mysteries and was taken
home in a fainting condition.
The young woman sat in a front
corner reading. She wore a loose fit
ting shirtWaist. Suddenly she sat bolt
upright. stared vacantly a moment
across the aisle and then let out an
agonizing yell. Several persons offered
assistance, but she waved them all
back with one hand while with the
other she grasped a place in the small
of her back and at every move let out
another piercing scream. Finally a
woman sitting near removed from I'M
der the excited girls shirtwaist a half
grown mouse which. had crawIed in
from the window casing.

ner says: Bound, gagged, and at the
mercy of Mexican bandits, B. S. LOOMS,
a San Francisco man, was held a pris-
oner in the mountains of Cerro de San
Juan, near San Bias, Mexico. A promise

THESE CONTESTS ILLEGAL.
Sumner County to Stop the Lottery
Drawings of Merchants.

Wellington, July 24.-County Attorney
W. H. Staffelbach says that in his opin-
ion the merchants drawing contests
are Illegal and that the law against
them would be enforced in Sumner
county. He holds that these drawings
are in violation of the anti-lottery laws
Of the state.
The drawing contests to which the
county attorney made reference are
those being conducted by a number of
business houses in Wellington in which
Gickets are given with the purchase of
goods, emitting the purchaser to chance
IN the drawing of prize.
The county attorney brought the at
ten6on of State Attorney General Cole
man to the drawing scheme of one bust
ness house and that officer agreed with
the county attorney that the drawing
was Illegal Under this ruling the
merchants will be ordered to discon-
tiDue the contests at once. Postmaster
Ferguson some time ago ruled the ad-
vertisements of these drawings out of
the mails as there was no question they
were violations Of the postal laws.

Had Not Seen Each Other for Over
Forty Years.

Muncie, Ind, July 24.-Dr. William
B. Smith of this city has gone to Earl
vile, Iowa, to visit his daughter, whom
he has not seen for almost forty years.
The daughter was taught by her moth
er to believe her father was dead and
she did not know of his existence until
recently. She Immediately wrote to
him and the reunion was planned. -
Forty-two years ago DR.. and Mrs.
Smith had difficulties which termi-
mated in their separation. Later the
daughter was reported dead. The father
settled in Muncie soon after the war
and thought nothing of his child being
alive. The accidental discovery came
through the war department, when
some of the physicians relatives ap-
piled for pension a short time ago
and his signature was necessary. This
was seen by the daughter and COM
munication was started between the
two.
The daughter has been married for
more than a score of years and has a
daughter Is years of age.

DIDN'T SEE DUNE.
Baron Komura Wanted to Meet Chi
cago's Mayor.

Chicago, July 24.-Thomas B.
Bryan, who was vice president of the
Columbian exposition, came in to Chi
cago on Baron Komura's private car.
Several years ago the baron was en-
tertained at Mr.. Bryan's home, Elm
hurst The peace envoy, remember
ing the courtesy, telegraphed last night
asking Mr.. Bryan to board the baron's
private car at Aurora and journey
with the party to Chicago. Corpora
ton Counsel Lewis, representing
Mayor. Dunno. was introduced. to the
plenipotentiary by Mr.. Bryan. Colonel
Lewis welcomed Barren Komura on be-
half of Mayor Dunno.
Baron Komura thanked Colonel
Lewis, and expressed desire to meet
Mr. Dunno. The commissioner said he
was not at this moment officially inter-
ested in the question of municipal
ownership or operation of railroads,
but that it was good subject to be
enlightened upon. 'In Japan" said
the baron, ''the government owns and
operates the salt and tobacco works
that produce revenue, and the govern
ment's monopoly from an economic
standpoint is a good thing, However,
this question of public ownership is
largely question of environment and
conditions"

TREE BURNS INTERNALLY.
Efforts to Put Out Blaze in Old Elm
Are Futile.

Winsted, Conn, July 24.-For two
days and two nights a fire burned in
West Litchfield and destroyed a land
mark, a. large elm tree more than a
century old.
The tree was struck by lightning.
Joseph Merriman and his neighbors
tried in vain to extinguish the flames
The fire was inside the tree. and at
last it burned through near the bottom.
This caused draught, and soon the
elm was doomed. Lightning yesterday
entered the house of William Vining,
in Colebrook, and Mrs. Vining was
stunned and two men and a boy shock
ed. A bolt hit tree in North Cole
brook as John G. Hall was driving by
and one horse was knocked down, but
was not injured.
