Fortunes Spent for Jewels.

Fortunes are being spent in the jewell
ers' shops by wealthy Americans and
Englishmcn and women, who are max
ing extensive Christmas purchases IN
Paris. The craze is for the numerous
novelties made of lucky stones and loyal
amulets.
The Duchess of Marlborough has
bought a small collection Of sardonyx
ornaments. For Mrs. Astor the Ouch
ess ordered one on which an eagle is en-
grayed, while another, fer Lily, Ouch
ess Of Marlborough, is quaint beryl
pendant with Persian hierOglyphics sup
posed to have lucky influence.
Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester, has
been one of the largest buyers. A vase
of translucent enamel, yellowish green,
with base formed of group Of cupids
cut from pinkish onyx, is her gilt for
the Queen, while for her men friends
there are diamond and ruby studs and
links and gold cigar-hoiders with lines
of 6ne diamonds.
Another beautiful gift for the Queen
is that of the Marquise de Breteuil, who
was Miss Garner, an American. 1t is
a small pair of old ivory ornaments
representing groups of female figures,
arranged as electric-bell pushes for the
writing table.
The Duchess of Roxburghe, although
in deep mourning, has made few pur-
chases, including pair Of Seyres fig
ures and four small antique boxes in
Limoges enamel.

Grin Quickly Knocked Out.

"Some weeks ago during the severe
winter weather both my wife and myself
contracted severe colds which speedily
develop d into the worst kind of Ia
grippe with all its miserable symptoms, "
says Mr.. J. S. Egleston of Maple Land
ing, Iowa. "Knees and joints aching,
muscles sore, head stopped up, eyes and
nose running, with alternate spells OF
chills and fever. We began using
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding
the same with a dose of Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its
liberal use soon completely knocked out
the grip"
1t is good plan to take dose of the
Tablets when you have cold. TLey
promote a healthy action OF the bowels,
liver and Kidneys which is always bene-
fetal when the system is congested by a
cold or attack of the grip. For sale by

Demonstration at st. Pauls.

London's unemployed made a demon
stration at st. Paups Cathedral yester-
day afternoon in half-hearted, hope
less and unusual manner. Only a few
hundred of them, with appropriate ban
ners, went in procession from Trafalgar
square TO the cathedral, where they ar
rived dDring the progress of the service
and up the steps OF which they marched
singing the "Marsellaise. Here the
motley crowd was joined by contingents
from other quarters, and all, to the
number of some 1900, began filing into
the cathedral silently and respectfully,
making an incongruous picture in con-
trast with the fashionably dressed wor-
shippers. Such a scene has not been
witnessed at St. PauPs since twenty
years ago, when John Burns, now presI-
dent of the local government board, led
a similar demonstration to the cathedral.

Dimes King in Bathroom.


II was in the bathroom of the Castel-
lanes splendid house in Paris that they
entertained the King Of Portugal on
Tuesday. The bathroom was turned 10
to a diuing-room for the occasion, the
great central tub was covered over and
the faucets we're made to spout as four
fountains from banks of flowers 1t was
very effective, aud the marble walls,
ceiling and pillars were festooned with
blooms, making the chamber in which
Count Boni takes bis morning dip look
like a Roman banqueting hall.
The society journals went into lyric
transports over the scene, but Americans
are laughing over the scene, but Ameri-
cans are laughing over the afair--large-
~ because only three or four of them
were invited.
Around the exquisitely.aPpointed Ia
bles at the dinner stood iootmen innum'
erable, all splendidly liveried and wear
ing old-time ceremonial swords, this last
detail a feature not seen in Paris for just
a century. Count Boni, unlike Presl-
dent Loubet, had been careful 10 provide
for King Carlos's little mania, aud gor-
ceously- -attired functionaries stood be-
hind the royal chair to remove the royal
glass every time the royal lips as much
as touched it.
The King had to hold court on the
great marble staircase. This was because
of the fact that the grand salon is still
unfurnished

superb gown, crowned with a diadem OF

TO BUILD NEW ROAD.
Official Of Mordaunt Road Says Bonds
Have Been Placed.

Des Moines, Aug. 24.-European
capitalists are coming to Des Moines
to construct the recently planned st.
Joseph, Albany G. Des Moines rail-
road.
the proposed railroad company stated
yesterday that the SIS, 500, 900 bond is
sued for the construction of the new
railroad has been fioated in Europe.
There they found a ready market.
AS soon as the details of the issu-
ance and sale Of these bonds can be
perfected, the work of building the
system will be commenced. That it
will be started within the next few
months is confidently predicted.
The road is bonded for 100000 per
mile. The proposed track is in the
region Of 1855 miles in length. The
bonds therefore aggregate $500, 900.
The surveys have been completed
showing that the project is perfectly
feasible. said the official. 1.-The in
vestigation shows that the building Of
the road in the southern section of the
state, Ringgold county for instance,
will be fraught with much labor and
expense. The grades are steep there
and the construction will entail a
large expenditure"
The field that it taps is rich and
wealthy. Its promoters are confident
in its ultimate success and the secur-
ing of the European capital assures
rapid progress from this time forward.

Widow of Victim of Awful Explosion
Brings Suit.

Des Moines, Aug. 24.-Gross and
negligent violations of the city or
dinances are laid at the door of the
West Riverside Mine company by the
widow of Engineer C. F. Brown, a
victim of the recent horror. Mrs.
Brown filed her notice of suit for
$4,000 damages in district court yes

within the city limits. Also that the
walls and coverings Of the building in
which they are stored shall be non

cess of twenty-five pounds was stored
within.
The petition asserts that Brown
IA without the fatal shanty and that
he vas killed by flying timbers.

COLORADO VALLEY

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 26.-According
to information received from Hast
ings early yesterday, a posse of IA
persons we're drowned in the food at
Tabasco, 16 miles north of Trinidad
Thursday evening. Seven houses oc-
cupied by Austrian and Italian lasor-
ers and their families were swept
away. Tabasco and Berwin coal min
ing camps, having together about g.
600 population, are mining camps,
having together about 1000 popula-
ton, are located in Rhode canyon.
Parties leaving Trinidad for the
scene were unable to go through on
account of washouts.
The Colorado G. Southern branch
limo to Berwin was washed away and
a heavy volume of water rushed down
the canyon all night, making it i'm
possible to penetrate to the point
where the loss of life is said to have
occurred. Rumors are increasing
that twelve to twenty houses were
swept down the canyon and twenty
five to thirty-fve lives lost. These
reports are still unverified at noon
today. Traffic on the Colorado &
Southern, the Santa Fe aud the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroads is liter
rupted owing to the washouts in this
vicinity.
Coroner Espy later received a mes
sage from Hastings stating that five
bodies had been recovered. The cor
oner left Immediately on horseback

Oyster, Bay, L. l., A1g. 26.-Presi.
dent Roosevelt late yesterday after
noon made a descent in the Long Is
land sound on board Sne submarine
torpedo boat Plunger. HE was aboard
the vessel about three hours. At one
time the little boat was submerged
for fifty minutes and in that time was
put through all of the submarine feats
of which she is capable.
When the president boarded the
Plunger his intention was to make
a personal inspection, but he decided
to make a submarine descent.
AS soon as the president descended
to the boats main hold the manholes
Were closed and, conveyed by the
naval tug Apache.s the Hunger started
for the sound No maneuvers were
attempted until the vessel a beyond
the entrance to the bay. The water
where the trial took place is about
forty feet deep. Soon after the YES
sci reached the necessary depth she
directed downward until she rested
on the bottom of the sound. The
mechanism of the craft was then ex-
planned infinitely to the president by
Lieutenant Nelson, SO that he after
wards experienced no difficulty in UNI
derstanding maneuvers which were
performeds sa&E Dan
While the president thus was rest
ing on the bottom of the sound in the
submarine boat a storm forty feet
above was put through all kinds OF
maneuvers, demonstrating every
movement necessary in the work for
which she is %intendei.

Idea That Peace is Impossible.
Berlin, Aug. 26.-There is no dis
position in responsible quarters to
predict the result of the last efforts
for peace but no n appears to be
sanguine regarding the outcome. The
feeling on the bourse was n of I'M
certainty and a like feeling prevailed
in the government Offices here which
are better informed as to the attitude
of Russia than that concerning Japan.
The dominant feeling in the Russian
court as reported officially here is
that Russia is in better position to go
on with the war since she has heard
Japan's terms than she. was before,
because the dissemination of these
terms in Russia is having the effect
of bringing most of the educated per-
sons to the conviction that the war
must be fought out as the conditions
are insupportable and because the re-
turn to Russia of half a million sold
iers disconnected with their treat
ment in the far east and with the
vain results of their endurance, would
add to the internal ferment, while
the government would not be able
truthfully to answer the accusation
that it had made a dishonorable
peace.

FIRE DUE TO cARELEssNESs.
Team of Horses and Hay Stacks Are
Burned.

Templeton, Aug. 27.-In a fire
which swept a large oats field belong
ing to Anton Bierl, a farmer living
three miles north of Templeton, two
horses were burned to a crisp, six
large stacks Of hay were consumed
and Mr.. Bierl himself barely escaped
with his life, by plunging through the
burning circle.
With a small boy as an assistant,
Mr.. Bierl had spent the day working
in the field where the oats were be-
ing stacked. Late in the afternoon
the boy for some reason or other ig-
nited the loose straw in the neigh
borhood of the six stacks and almost
instantly the entire field had taken
fire.
Mr.. Bierl hurriedly drove his pillow
in a circle around the endangered
stacks in the hope of checking the
flames by forming a ring of soft
earth. He had scarcely made more
than one circumference, however,
when the pillow became stuck in the
ground and in spite of his effort he
was unable to extricate the shank in
time to release the Ill fated team.
He worked with the fastening of
the harness until driven away by the
spreading flames. The exact amount
of loss has not been reported.
