ONLY Mine Like It in America
Large Force at Work

Developments in the diamond field,
of Elliott county result in the discoy-
cry of what is believed to be the only
chrysolite mine in America and pos
sibly in the world. Specimens of
these precious jewels have been sent
to Lexington and turned over to the
State Geological Survey. with re-.
quest to make a thorough invc,tiga-
lion of the mine during the spring.
The specimens are beautiful green
stones. which are said to be urer
than any of the precious stones. By
many jewellers they are regarded even
more valuable than diamonds, e,pc-
cially on account of their rarity, as it
S said that the only chrysolite> in
existence have been taken from the
old jewelry.
In compliance with the owners of
the land in Elliott county. which is
believed to contain this mine of chrys-
1lites, diamonds and other precious
tones, the State Geological Survey
will make an Investigation, and il

MAY WHITE CHILDREN
ATTEND INDIAN SCHOOLSP

washington, Dec. - 2S.-Commis-
sioner Leupp. of the Indian office,
will ask congress to legalize the prac-
tlce of the department in permitting
white children to enter Indian schools
on the same basis that Indian chill
dren enter white schools The policy
of the Indian office is to break up the
Indian reservation wherever possi-
BILE, allot the lands owned by the In
dians and put these wards of the gov
ernment on a self-supporting basis.
To do this effectively old barriers
are being broken down and Indians
in many sections of the country are
attending the district schools. the In
dian bureau paying into the county
or state treasury the cost per capita
of Indian education. as assessed
against the white children, which
amounts to about So per quarter.
In many localities in the west and
northwest, Indian schools are the
only schools in the widely separated
areas. 1t has been Commissioner
Leupp's policy to permit white chill
.dren TO enjoy the privileges of edu-
cation granted the Indian Children.
on the theory that there was no law
against such policy, aud he is now
preparing an amendment to the In
dian appropriation bill, pending be-
fore the senate committee on Indian
affairs, affirming the position he has
taken.

COnSignereS Lay Blame on
SWitChmen For Delay of
Unloading Goods.

Apparently General Manager Hur-
ley don't know with what delay goods
are delivered, if he lays the blame of
the shortage of cars on the con-
signees," said a local merchant this
morning after reading a dispatch sent
out from Topeka purporting to come
from the general manager of the
road, which says that the shortage is
caused by the tardiness with which
merchants unload their goods.
Il received a car load of goods yes
terday that laid i'm the yards four
days before they were placed on a
track where they could be unloaded," A."
continued the indignant merchant
and we have the same trouble with
almost every shipment we receive.
The yards are either too small or else
the company needs more switch en-
gines. Some times We will want goods
the worst way and know that they
are in the yards but getting them
off the cars is a difficult proposition
I'VE are wholly at the mercy Of
the switchmen when il gets to the
stage where the goods are iu the
yards. This Is a matter that should
he called To the attention of the road
Why, l heard a coal man say one
lay that he could get coal spotted
at his yards promptly only when he
came through with a piece of money
and at times too. when the city was
suffering from a coal famine. What
10 you think OF that?
81 don't think that the attempt of
the railroads to lay the blame for the

Indicted on Charge OF Forgery
in Connection With the
PruSSidn Bond Matter.
MADE FALSE ENTRIES IN
BOOKS OF THE COMPANY
Was For Purpose of Fooling Prus-
sian Government by Seeming
to Comply With Its Laws.

New York. Dec. 2s.-George w
Perkins. formerly vice president Of
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, and now member of the firm
of j. Il. Morgan < Co, and Charles
5. Fairchild, formerly secretary of the
treasury and trustee of the New
York Life Insurance company, were
indicted today by the grand Jury
charged with forgery in the third de-
gree. The indictments were based on
what is known as the Prussian bond
transaction, in which ii is charged
that false statement was made by the
New York Life i'm order to satisfy the
government of Prussia as to the Sc
curities held by the company
Perkins appeared and gave bond in
the sum of $4,000. Fairchtd is in
Europe.
One of the transactions investi-
gated by the grand jury In this con-
nection. is what is alleged to be a
dummy sale of 10000 shares of Chi
cago and Northwestern preferred
stock, and $500 shares of st. Paul
stock to the New York Security and
Trust company AS far as appeared
on the books of the New York Life
this transaction was complete sale.
The New York Security and Trust
company, however, recorded it as a
loan. Later, these shares were sold
by the trust company at a profit to
the New York Life company of $155,-
900.
This alleged false statement of sale
had for its object compliance with the
rule of the Prussian government that
a life insurance company doing bust
ness In that country shall not include
corporation stocks in its assets. but
may include bonds In such assets.
