BRYAN ANXIOUS FOR

Tulsa. l. r.. July 1S.-At a ban
quet at the Brady Hotel preceding
lecture at the Tulsa Chatauqua, VIM.
]. Bryan spoke at length on the po-
litical situation in general. lie open
ed his speech by referring with praise
to the proposed constitution of the
new state. He expressed himself as
confident IT is acceptable to all the
people in its amended form.
In referring to Secretary Taft,
whom Bryan considers the logical Re-
publican presidential candidate, and
who is to speak in Tulsa at the state
convention said:
Il am very anxious to hear an ex-
preston from Secretary Taft on the
gdeat questions confronting the Amer
lean people today, and on which most
Republicans are singularly silent.
want TO know where he stands on the
Philippine question, what is his po-
sition on the railroad regulation,
does he favor an income tax as does
President Roosevelt, does he believe
IL government by Injunction and
what is his position on the labor ques
ton. Mr.. Taft should take the peo-
pie into his confidence on these great
questions, as they have a right to
know where he stands. If he is to be

Cropping Up Great Diamonds.

Until recently Ii never occurred
TO anyone to imagine that diamonds
might be found 80 large as TO be
practically useless. and therefore re-
curing TO be cut up into relatively
small pieces in order TO render them
marketable Nevertheless. this very
thing has come to pass" says a jew
eler, land within The last few months
the second biggest gem OF this kind
ever discovered has been chopped
into fragments, the process reducing
its apparent value by at least ST.
100000. but making it salabie. Its
only superior in point of size. the
greatest diamond ever known, val
ued at si5.00O,OOO. Is soon. It Is an
.nounced, to meet a similar fate.
THE stone which has already
been chopped up is thefamous Ex-
clsior diamond. which up to the year
1905, held rank as the biggest dia-
mond ever found Now the famous
Premier diamond is to suffer a like
fate. This stone. which was found
at the Premier mine in the Trans
yaal, weighs a little over one pound
three ounces and measures four and
one-half inches in length. two and
one-half inches in thickness and one
and one-balf inches in breadth. 1t
was sent 10 England by ordinary
registered post. but was insured fer
$3.50, 900 This sum, however, did
not represent anything like its value
which, estimated by Tavernier's role,
is about $45.OOO,0O0.
ut is obvious that no private indi-
yldual would pay one-twentleth
part of such a sum for any diamond,
and IN these days governments are
not squanderlng money on crown
jewels. Consequently, the problem
OF disposing Of the gigantic gem,
which still remains in the hands Of
its original owners, Is extremely
pulling. However, they lave now
decided to chop il into pieces, and
thus the most remarkable of al min
eral curiosities appears to be destin-
ed TO speedy de-truction. But
whereas the Excelsior yielded ten
cut stones OF IA to 6S karats, the
Premier, as II is called, ought TO al
ford several Of the largest cut dia-
moRds IN existence, which together
would fttch at least $500 ooo." \

YOUNG IN CUSTODY.
Judge Lochren Finds Attorney Gener.
al Guilty of Contempt and
Passes Sentence.

St. Paul, Oct. 22.-"Mr Marshall
the attorney general is in your GUS
tody."
Judge Lochren, with this instruc-
ton, closed the hearing of the con-
tempt proceedings against Attorney
General Young.
On petition of Jared How, attorney
for the railroad stockholders, Judge
Lochren pronounced Mr.. Young gull
ty of contempt and ordered him to
pay a fine of 500; also to dismiss the
mandamus proceeding against the
Northern Pacific, which he started in
the state court in disobedience of the
federal court injunction. By the same
order Mr.. Young stands committed
to the custody Of the marshall until
he pays the fine and further purges
himself of contempt by withdrawing
the mandamus action.
Judge Lochren appeared reluctant
to impose the fine, and said he would
have made it smaller, except that it
is to be reviewed, and therefore
should be made substantial amount.
His instructions to the marshal, at a
conference following the session of
the court, were evidently to go no
further than necessary to retain &C
tual custody of the attorney general.

CAKES FIRE SWEPT,
Nineteen Concerns in the Busy Town
are Entirely Wiped Out.

Cakes, N. D., Oct. 1s.-Fighting
against terrible odds in the shape of
heavy wind and the lack of water
supply, the firemen and citizens of
this town battled for hours to subdue
fire that threatened to wipe out the
enGire business district.
The blaze started in Jessen's mer-
camille store, spreading rapidly to the
adjoining buildings and soon passed
beyond control. The wind famed the
fire into roaring river of flame
which swept a half block on Main
street and then leaped across the
street and destroyed another half
block before it was possible to check
its progress.
The citizens worked frantically to
save the town, but it was not till
several hours cftc- the fire started
that safety was assured.
The blaze started at 80 in the
morning, and at noon the ruins were
still burning. Nineteen concerns
were burned out, and the total loss
will not be less than $12O, 900, with an
insurance not more than one-third.
