RAISES ALFALFA AND CATTLE.
e. H. Lupton of sheridan County Has
Made Success of Both.

z. II. Lupton, of Hoxie, Sheridan
county. is a Kansas day visitor in To-
peka today. He is returning from
kansas City, where he had been with
two al loads OF alfalfa fed cattle, for
which he received satisfactory prices.
Mr.. Lupton handles about 500 head
each of cattle and hogs in Sheridan
county, and he believes this industry
in connection with raising alfalfa is
profitable even at the low prices of
cattle. Mr.. Lupton located in Sheri-
dan county about 20 years ago. He
says his county as we'll as h entire
northwest portion of Kansas never
had so good prospects for wheat.
Prices are stealing advancing in real
estate, and home people are buying
and paying the top prices for lands.
The best unimproved wheat lands are
selling readily for SO and $40 per
acre.
Mr.. Lupton is one of the alfalfa
kings of Sheridan county, having al
ready over 200 acres. Speaking of
Sheridan county in particular, Mr..
Lupton believes the county will in
crease in population not less than
1000 in 1905. In his town of Hoxie,
the county seat, he says there have
been large gains in population, the
town is far behind the country in a
business way, and while many new
residence were erected last year,-he
thinks the present year will witness
the greatest building n trade activ-
ity in the towns history.

DIED IN TURKISH BATH.
Two Young Men Left in Steam Room
and Forgotten.

New York, Jan. 30.-Shut in the steam
room of a Russian path house in Hester
street, two young men were scalded to
death before their plight was realized
by the attendants. Evidence that both
had made frenzied efforts to attract at
tention was afforded by cuts and bruises
on both the bodies and by blood-stained
scratches in the plaster of the walls
against which they had CROPPED in their
efforts to find an outlet.
The victims were Abaham Pasternak
and Peter Roos. both ~tailors, living in
Norfolk street.
Abraham Stern, the proprietor of the
bath house. n five of the attendants
weer arrested and held, pending an in
vestigation.
From incoherent accounts the police
gathered that Roos and Pasternak en-
tered the bath last night, and after be-
ing conducted into the steam room,
were left there, and were evidently for
gotten until their bodies were found to-
day. There was a gas jet in the room,
but it was unlighted. and in the dark
ness the men were unable to find the
door.

Further Detail Regarding the Largest
Diamond Ever Found.

New York, Jan. 9O-Ex-Congressman
Jefferson NJ. Levy of 80 Pin street. the
largest stockholder in the Premier Dia-
mond of South Africa, which
discovered a 1882 carat diamond last week,
received a cablegram from his London
agent stating that experts estimated its
value at at least IS, 000-
George F.. Kunz, the Tiffany expert, was
greatly interested when he heard of the
diamond found in the Premier mine It
is the largest diamond ever found, he said
A few years ago a black diamond was
found in Brazil which weighed 5000 car
ats. 1t was of no use, however, except
cut up and used on iamOnd drills EX-
cept for this the gem just found IS three
times bigger than any other yet dlScoN-
cred. Mr.. Kunz explained the size Oh the
new diamond as slightly smaller than the
regulation baseball. Approximately, he
said, it weighed about 621.56 grammes, OF
about a pound and a half, a~VOirdupOis. II
would lose from 40 to 60 per cent In cut
ting, depending on the shape OF the stone
He says that it is probable that a dla-
mond of such size will be left as large as
possible BY the cutters. He would not
place a value upon the big diamond, al
though he did not dispute the value OF 30

extent on its size and quality Inc last
diamond of any note found in recent
years was the Syndicate in the DeBeers
mines about two years ago. It weighed,

district courts to do much of the work
now left to the legislatures is a good
one. The courts can vacate additions
and change names and there is no rea-
son why the time Of the senate and
house should be taken up for such tri-
vial matters The legislature SHOULD
have more time for serious legislation
and time to consider and ami pro-
posed laws"
There are several echoes of several
booms heard in the present legislature.
Among them the vacation of additions,
which We're developed into cities
but served is material for boom Oper-
atoms.
One echo is sounded by the bill in
troduced by Senator Quincy for the va
cation of the tOwnsite of Trenton. in
Saline county. When the Lincoln
branch was built some investors thought
that there was a call and demand and
chance for a new metropolis and they
founded the town of Trenton six miles
from Salina. a few days ago the SEN
ate passed a bill to AGATE the town of
Trenton and to resore it Ito its original
condition as if the same has never been
platted"-viz: farm land.
