 None of the two companies have gone deeper than so fit. and MT. Beaufort gave it as his opin- ion to both concerns that they will have to go considerably more than a thousand feet to strike the regular diamond clay rock, which will require big capital.
 All over that neighborhood, es- pecially Pike City and Delight, Mr. Beaufort had scores of men submitting to his examination various collections of pebbles and cryStalized rocks and many seemed diEusted and disap- pointed because he pronounced them worthless.
 He seems to think that many peoble in Pike County forsake or neglect their ordinary avocations of life for the delusive search of diamonds.

FOR MISSING BOY.
Police Send Out Circulars Announcing
a Reward.

Several thousand circulars were sent out
from police headquarters last night an
nouncing that 500 reward has been Of
fered for the return of John J. Manning,
eighteen years of age, son of DR.. w. j.
Manning of the government printing Of
flee, who has been missing from his home
in this city since November u, 1902
Jack Manning, as he was Familiarity
called, away from his home when he
was fourteen years of age and no trace of
him has been found. A letter was received
by the boys parents last Year,, stating he
was in Boone Iowa, and that he was COM
ing to this city. Even the time of his ar
rival was stated in the letter. The anxious
parents awaited the coming of every train
for many days, with the vain hope that the
prodigal would step forth. But he did
not come, and if he was in Boone he
escaped before he could be apprehended.
The boy it is believed, would seek en-
ployment as a lineman. electrician or with
a theatrical company. The circular con-
tains a picture of the missing boy and a
description of him.

Purity and Cleanliness Assured.

In these modern times when SO much
attention is paid to the observance of the
pure food law, there is much evidence of
interest in the steps taken by Washington
merchants and manufacturers of food prod
ucts to meet the requirements of the statute.
Probably this is nowhere more true than
in the local bakeries, and a tour of the
plant of Corby Brothers might be taken
as an illustration of the precautions toward
cleanliness and purity, which stand between
the District housekeepers and their supply
of the staff of life In the home of
Mothers Bread" it is stated everything
is modern from the equipment of the bak-
cry to the conduct of the establishment and
the testing and analyses of the ingredients
which go into the daily output of bread,
rolls, etc. Everything possible is done
with the aid of machinery, and the con-
slant end in view, 1t is declared is that the
customers may thoroughly enjoy the COM
pleted product both from its taste and
from the knowledge that it is absolutely
clean and pure.

Der of the Oldest Inhabitants Associa-

terday stated that he deemed the present
form of government satisfactory and that
the efforts being made to obtain suffrage in
the District would prove detrimental, and
he appealed to the Commissioners not to
lend hand in such a movement
Mr.. Births letter is as follows:
81 noticed In the columns of The Even
ing Star a few days since that a move is
being made to secure the passage of a law
of Congress to bring about a change in the
form of our city government, which, if
successful, would be a great calamity
1.-The administration of our affairs now is
satisfactory to every citizen having at
heart and in hope, quiet, peaceabIe and
successful administration.
1.-The introduction of politics, which would
inevitably follow the sought-for change
would bring upon us the very objectiona BILE
conditions experienced under each of the
three forms existing in the past generating
heated passions, anger, hatred, profanity
and all the vile and damaging feelings and

from such a fate, which would certainly
overtake US If the contemplated change is
made"
