"A ray Of sunshine is ahead" said
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of main
tenance and ways of the Hartman
lines to an Omaha Bee reporter on
Friday. 81 speak these words advised
ly from reports which have come tc
me, from what Mr.. Park told me id
Chicago a few days ago and from what
Mr.. Mohler tells me. The business has
reached quite a low mark and any
faint hope is eagerly seized. We hav,,
hopes, however, of business o re,
covering from it's present state Of
fright and getting back into the old
channel"
Accompanied by Family.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt arrived in Omaha
Friday morning at $50 over the Hi
nois Central from Chicago and spent
the forenoon inspecting with A. J..
Mohler, general manager of the road.
He is accompanied OF the trip by his
private secretary, by Mrs. Kruttschnitt

a special train for Kansas City, via
Valley, accompanied by Mr.. Mohler.
The party will start west from Kan.
sas City Saturday morning.
Some lay the cause of the business
depression to one thing and some 10
another and l cannot say, myself, what
the cause is said Mr.. Kruttschnitt
I'VE are in hopes the revival will not
have to wait until after the presiden-
tial election"
No New Work Now.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt was asked if lie
thought new work and improvements
would have to wait for the business
activity of the country to open before
a start was made. He replied he did
not think any railroad manager was
now thinking of starting any new de-
velopments. He said he thought they
were still busily engaged in trying TO
keep down operating expenses to con-
form with the decreased business Of
the country.

DAWsON's POISON FACTORIES
You VIII Be Surprised to Learn How
Many There Are.

Did you ever feel stupid and dull
after eating a hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in
the stomach, because of stomach
weakness, the poison factory works
overtime and there is giddiness, con-
fusion of thought, dependency,
heartburn, sleeplessness, nervous
trouble and other forms of indiges-
ton.
The general use of Mona stom-
ach tablets puts within the reach OF
everyone a reliable and positive cure
for all stomach weakness. Mona
quickly cures the worst case of indi-
gestion, and the pain and distress
which is often felt after meals will
soon disappear, such is the wonderful
curative power of this little tablet.
Mi-o-na acts upon entirely differ
ent principles from any of the other
remedies that have been used in
stomach trouble. 1t is taken before
meals, and has a specific strengthen
ing action upon the muscles of the
stomach, increasing the flow of diges-
tive juices and making the stomach
get to work and digest easily and
naturally the food which is eaten.
The Dawson Drug Co. and PeO-
pies Drug Store have seen SO many
cures made by Mona that they give
a guarantee with every 50-cent box
that the remedy costs nothing unless
it cures.

GRIGGS FOR PARCEL POST
The Congressman Has Introduced a

mended by Postmaster General Mey-
err in his annual report, and explained
by him in his address before the
fourth-class postmasters' convention
in Atlanta last summer. The bill
provides:
Section l. That beginning July

limited to ~ pounds on every rural
route in the United States. Said par
cells post shall be confined exclusively
to the rural route upon which the

route connects directly, without the
Intervention of railway mail service,

Sec 2. The rate of postage on
such packages shall be cents for

DIAMONDS BY THE BUSHEL
THE DIAMOND TRUST is VITALITY
INTERESTED IN THIS REPORT.
Partisan Claims He Can Manufacture
Sparklers at Very Low Sum, and
Induces Others to Invest.

INDUCES OtntES 10 IIIttSJs
Whether the secret of manufact-
uring diamonds in commercial guam
titles has been discovered, or GER
tain Parisians have been made the
victims of a swindle more ingenious
than the Humbert safe mystery, is
question which the courts are trying
to solve. All hinges on supposed
secret possessed by prisoner named
Lemoine, and he prefers to languish
in a cell on the charge of swindling
Sir Julius Wernher out of $4,000
to revealing his method.
Lemonine's formula for the manu-
facture of diamonds is securely
locked up in a bank in London, the
officials of which, upon Lemoine's
demand, refuse to deliver it to the
French court, which desires to make
a trial of it's efficacy in the presence
of experts who are now examining
specimens of diamonds Lemoine
claims to have manufactured.
Meanwhile Lemoine, who, a few
years ago, was a canvasser for an
advertising firm, but who, since he
began his present operations, has
lived luxuriously in magnificent
house in the Rue Pigalle, languishes
in Jail, offering if released to repeat
his experiments and prove the legiti-
macy of his invention.
While Wernher is convinced that
he was duped and the public is
amused at the many curious Incl
dents of the case, there is enough
division of opinion in the scientific
camp to keep up lively interest in
the affair. Scientists point out that
the substitution of a genuine dia-
mond in an electric furnace would
be impossible, as the temperature OF
the electric arc would transform the
diamond into graphite.
Lord Armstrong, who witnessed
the experiments, publicly avows his
absolute faith in Lemoine's method
Diamond merchants, although skepti
cal, are greatly interested in the out
come of the case.
Since Lemoine was arrested it has
developed that he has not confined
his operations to M. Wernher. HI

an associate secured $4,000 from al

nection with the affair was revealed
A strange feature of the case
that M. Wernher, although h
charges that he was duped, offere
Lemoine $4,000 additional las

legged formulas have been published
the principal ingredients of whic
are carbon and sugar, but LEMON
pronounces them bogus.
