Thieves STEAL
HANDSOME jewels
FIRM OF TIFFANY & CO., ROBBED
OF THREE STONES CUT FROM
FAMOUS DIAMOND.
Value Of the Gems Is Placed at 500, 900
Old and Trusted Employees Are
Blamed for Carelessness Making
Theft Possible.

100000 were stolen from the shop Of
Tiffany & Co. on May 4. The fact was
made public for the first time Saturday.
Detective forces on two continents are
working to recover the gems. In all
ten diamonds were cut from the Excel
sior last fall shortly after it's purchase
by Tiffany from an English syndicate.
The stone was found at Jagersfontein,
South Africa, in 1898, and in the rough
weighed 971 carats. 1t was the largest
diamond that has ever been cut up and
the total value of the ten stones taken
from it was 100000. Five of the dia-
monds were sold by Tiffany. to we'll
known New York people: last Christ
mas. OF the remaining five the COM
pany low has only two.
Stolen in Workshop.
The robbery was committed in the
workshop on the fifth floor Of the Tiff
fanny building in Union square, on the
afternoon of Thursday, May 4. The
next morning, when the manager Of
the department went to take them from
the safe in which they should have
been locked for the night, they had
disappeared. In fact, the three d;a-
monds upon which trusted workman
had been employed all day on May 4
never had been placed in the safe.
Loosely wrapped in paper the 100000
worth of jewels had been laid by the
workman an the shelf window of the
wire cage which separates the Office
from the workshop.
Detectives are working on the theory
that one of the so men and boys in
the shop knew what this particular
package contained and that the temp
tation to take it was too great to be
resisted.
Although 16 days have passed since
the robbery was committed, not one
satisfactory clew has been found, but
Tiffany & Co., and the police are con-
fident that the jewels cannot be dis
posed of without detection.
Wonderful Jewels.
Of the three diamonds, the largest
weighs 81 carats and Is valued at $780,
900. Another Of "a carats is worth
SCI, 900. The smallest one, weighing 20
carats, would bring $4,000. All are
pearl shaped and absolutely pure
white. Their brilliancy is remarkable.
Eacn one is flawless. Tiffany e. Co.
were proud of the ten diamonds and
experts pronounced them to be as fine
as ever known.
? They never had been displayed in the
store, but were shown to customers in
the diamond room. J. Pierpont Nor
gan, Thomas w. Lawson, the Astors,
Vanderbilts and other wealthy people
handled and admired them when the
firm decided first to sell the ten stones
in one set. The price asked-$500,00
a stumbling block to this
plan, SO the diamonds had to be dis
posed Of separately.

Value of a Blood Remedy.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired d.
pestion and over-sensitive nerves.
condition that makes the system an easy
prev to pneumonia, bronchitis. rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, aud even con-
sumption.
The story told by scores OF victims OF
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base Of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and in every way wretched from
an@mia or scantiness OF blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
conldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought in vain until the great blood
builder and 1lerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used For quickness and
thorouehness Of action nothing Is known
that win approach it..
Mrs.. Van scoy makes statement that
supports this claim. She says:
b ii had severe attack Of grip and, be-
fore had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was In = badly rundown
state. Soon after it beganI was SO lame
for a week that could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last
I had 70 give up completely and TOR
three weeks was obliged to- keep my
bed. NY knees were 30 stiff couldn't
bend them, and my hands were perfectly
helpless. Then the pains began to
threaten my heart and thoroughly
alarmed me. ..
=" While was suffering in this way I
CHANGED to run across a little book that
told about the merits Of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. The statements in 1t i'm
messed me and led me to buy box. These
pills proved the very thing I needed.
Improvement set in as soon as began
to take them, and it was very marked by
TIE time I had finished the first box.

EAcCXNATZNG THE GROUND.

One OF the greatest discoveries
Of modern times is that of inoculat.
ing the soil with bacteria which
has the faculty ofdrawing nitrogen
from the air and, by storing II in
the soil, rendering IL available for
plant food. II has long been known
that nitrogen Is one Of the chief
foods of all plant life aud that the
absence Of this element In worn.out
soil accounts for the failure of
crops. II has also been known for
many years that most exhausted
soils, IL permitted to rest for few
years would regain their fertility.
II, however, remained for modern
science to discover that the secret
Of worn-out soil becoming enriched
through rest was due to the above
mentioned soil bacteria. The rudi.
ment Of the discovery was made
several years ago by the noted Ger.
man professor, Noble, but it re-
mained for Dr.. Geo. 7. Moore, in
charge Of the Laboratory Of Plant
Physiology, Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, to
work out the details of the dis
covery and to give to the world
what has already been proved be.
yond a doubt to be the greatest
boon to the farmer, and through
him TO all mankind, Of any dis
covery Of ancient or modern
science.
The Department Of Agriculture
has given the discovery the most
thorough tests in every section Of
the country and they now assert
unqualifedly that the incubation
OF the soil with this bacteria
will increase the yield of any crop
from 100 TO 1000 per cent. This
undoubtedly means u great deal to
the farming industry because it
simply means enormously increas.
ed profits to the up.to-date farmer
at practically no additional ex-
pense. The Department of Agri-
culture is extensively engaged in
propagating this bacteria aud upon
application being made by any far
mer in the United States to the
secretary Of Agriculture he will be
furnished free q package Of the
bacteria in the form of an yeast
cake with full instructions as TO
how to proceed in cultivating and
multiplying the little germs and in
applying the solution to the soil.
The small sample package Of germs
which will be sent to the farmers
for experimental purposes are said
to be sufficient 10 inoculate one
acre of ground.
Raymond Porter in an interest
ing article in Pearson's magazine
for April, on this subject cites
number of specific instances, pre-.
sumably gathered from reports to
the department showing the phen-
omeual increase in yield of crops
on inoculated land. In one in
Stance a field Of poor ground was
divided into halves and one of the
halves was inoculated. 1t yielded
2000 pounds Of clover to the acre
while the half that was not treated
yielded 200 pounds. A similar ex-
pertinent with vetch showed a
yield of 4501 pounds on the portion
treated and 581 pounds on that
portion which was not inoculated,
A field without incubation, yield
ed 372 pounds of crimson clover to
the acre while an adjacent field of
similar soil after being treated with
the bacteria solution produced 6292
pounds of the same crop per acre.
Gillian county farmers should
investigate this matter and secure
some sample packages of the bac-
