the owners or underwriters to divert
attention, for the diamond was valued
at four million and insured for two
and q half million dollars.
Two more large diamonds have since
been found in the same mine, one
weighing 1874 carats and the other 460
carats. One wonders who can afford
to buy these stones. 1t will cost enor-
mously to put them on the market.
Most diamonds are sold outright by
the miner to the cutter, and one Of the
biggest South African diamond kings
has said that the margin of profit up
on which the entire diamond industry
is carried on is but little larger than
the percentage of gain in any other
line of business.
The jewellers of Paris claim that in
proportion as the value of the dia-
monds in necklace decreases, so does
the cost of setting increase. A dia-
mond necklace that sells for $4,000
has cost the jeweller 5000 in mount
ing, while one that sells for 100000
will require an expenditure of only
$500 in the mounting. From the
$199,7O0 remaining in the latter case,
still further deduction must be made |
for the expense of preparing the |
stones. The figures obtained on a |
100000 necklace in a Paris shop indi- |
Gated that the diamonds composing it |

To Search For Cure.
Leprosy was regarded by the Israel

Of ancient times show the great fear

Medical science has learned little or

Of the "unclean" is, that such an insti-

Burlington Ceases Opposition to Broth

Long War Is Ended.
[By Associated Pressl

Chicago, Nov. 16.-The management
of the Burlington railroad after IL
years of opposition has recognized the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and has signed the first wage schedule
with that organization since the great
strike of the engineers in 1888. Here
tofore all wage scheduled for the en-
gineers on the Burlington have been
promulgated over the signatures of the
railroad managers, the brotherhood
having no option in the matter of ac-
ceptance. This time the schedule of &C.
signed by officers and members of the
general committee of the brotherhood,
after a three weeks conference.
The hostility of the Burlington road
to the brotherhood was the cause OF
the strike of 1878, when 1,400 men
deserted their engines. Paul Morton,
then in the Burlington's service, had
charge of the strike for the railroad
! and won one of the most stubborn bat
ties in the history of the brotherhood.

The attorney general asserts in the

a Yanktonese buck, and the hero
inc is Blanche Old Man. The couple
had eloped from their home in Charles
Mix county and sought refuge on the
Grow Creek reservation, where they
were arrested and placed in the Buffa-

to become reconciled before the case
gets into court.
