COUNT NOSES
Insurgent Leaders Meet at Val
ley City to Fix Slate and
Take Stock,

A dispatch from Valley City dated
the 9th says: Yesterday morning
Editor Winship of the Herald, Hon.
M. N. Johnson and Senator Kraabel
arrived here to hold conference of
the leaders of the insurgents, to decide
on slate for the state convention. The
utmost secrecy was displayed in this
movement, and the insurgents here
even had not been notified of the pro-
posed meeting. Ex- Governor White was
absent from the city and other leaders
of the movement knew nothing about
the gathering until the arrival Of these
distinguished visitors. Ex-Congress-
man Spalding was unavoidably absent,
because of being in st. Paul to meet
his daughter, who was on her way
home. The gentlemen adjourned their
conference until evening to secure the
presence of some of their local friends.
Then the matters to come before the
state convention were gone over and
tentative program laid out. It is
reported it was decided to spring as
many local candidates for the various
offices as possible in each county, es-
pecially for governor, and in the end
probably unite for Mr.. johnson for
the place, though he denied that he
wished to take it. The full program
was gone over as carefully as pos
sible and 1t was decided to send ennis
saries into each county to try and
keep up the spirits of the insurgents,
and to get them to support the cut
and dried program which was out
lined for the coming convention.
In accord with the agreement to
spring as many candidates for govern
or as possible in the various counties,
Mr.. Twichell announces today that T.
A. Quirk Of Buffalo Is to be their can
didate for governor, but he does not
say that other candidates are to be
sprung. Those present thought that
Mr.. Qufrk would loosen up" better
than Mr.. Lynch, and he was therefore
selected for the sacrifice in this vicin-
ity. Mr.. Quirk is too good q man to
be bled In this way. He would have
no show Of winning, even II the insur-
gents did not carry out their plan to
spring candidate in almost every
county in the state.
It appears that Mr.. Spalding reach
ed Valley City last evening and Mr..
Twichell was also In the conference.
Mr.. Winship declared that he did not
want to have his name used for gov
ernor at this time unles he had q
dead sure chance Of winning. and un-
der the circumstances he preferred
that some one else make the sacrifice.
Mr.. 6palding objected to the once Of
senator being promised to NafShall for
two years hence, ~ he desired that
POST himself, but he was persuaded

Church Of God.

A large number of people are at
tending the camp meetings being held
by the Church Of God in Riverside
park, in this city. Several preachers
are in attendance and services are
held in English, German and Scan
dinavian. All the members Of the
church arriving have stock of pro-
visions and clothing and are prepar-
ed to stay during the entire session
here and there around the large tent,
where the services are held. 1t is
very picturesque place, in the midst
of the trees, and away from the hustle
and noise of the streets. Every year
the members congregate at the camp
meetings to enjoy the pleasure of
meeting with others of the faith and
derive the benefit of having the scrip
ture explained by tht leaders of the
church.

BAPTIST Convention,

Indications are that the Baptist
state convention, to be held in this
city on July 5, 6 and Z, will be most
successful one. There will be large
attendance, as there is much enthus-
iasm. Something like three to four
hundred delegates will be present and
the city will be called upon to take
care of them. The convention will
probably be the largest church meet

WilI Be Solid Floor.

In the construction of the new
freight depot here the Great Northern
has determined upon a flooring with
gravel foundation. The main floor
will be about five or six feet above
ground and the entire inner walls
beneath this will be filled with gravel,
SO that the joists may rest thereon.
This will give floor that will be less
noisy and at the same time more dur
able. 1t Is estimated that three hun
dred carloads of filling" will be need
ed for the work. Under the office
portion of the depot there will be q
basement, however, in which old
records can be stored away. :

DE BEERS SYNDICATE TO MOVE
Great Diamond Concern to Leave England
ON Account OF Double Taxation.

Great Diamond Concern to Leave England
On Account OF Double Taxation.
To escape an annual income tax amount
ing to S700, 900 o year, the De Beers CONSOLE
dated Mines, Ltd, which controls the dia-
mond market, is about to move its head
quarters from London to a city outside OF
England, according to messages received
yesterday by the importers In this city who
buy their rough stones from the English
syndicate. Dealers say that New York
MAY be selected as a headquarters for
larger and finer stones, but Paris Is more
likely to be chosen.
As nearly all the wholesale dealers and
over some Of the retail dealers 90 to Europe
at intervals to buy diamonds, the change
Is a matter Of much interest to the jewelry
trade. Henry Fera Of Fera d MADISON.
es Nassau street, who buys from the syndi-
cate, said yesterday that while New York
probably takes more than half in valuation
Of the total yield Of diamonds, yet the num-
with that of the dealers abroad.
A decision OF the House Of Lords was
announced q few days ago holding that the
De Beers people must pay income tax In
England as well as In Cape Colony. Repre-
sentatives Of the company declare that it

double taxation. The South African tax
Is almost as high as that Of the mother
country.
Recent boosting Of the prices Of diamonds
is asoribed by people in the trade to the
expectation OF the De Beers company that
It would soon have to pay the English in
come tax Of three years past. amounting to
more thar 81 ,O0O, 900, which had been CON
tested In the courts and up to the House Of
Lords. The decision Of the latter body Is
final. The double taxation has resulted from
the South African courts holding that the
real business Of the company Is In the opera
ton Of the mines, while the courts in the
mother country hold that the mining is not
go important, In q commercial way, as the
sale Of the product In London.
The profits Of the De Beers company In
the last fiscal year, according to It's annual
report to the shareholders, amounted to
nearly 5000, 900, being realized on an out
put OF diamonds Weighing 2,2lo ,al4 carats
and bringing gross receipts Of nearly $2S,-
600, 200. Alarge proportion Of the diamonds,
not being Of any value as gems, arc sold for
mechanical purposes. The initial value OF
