Praises Rivers of Country.

Judge r. s. Reid, state waterways
commissioner of Wisconsin, who was
sent abroad last summer to study
Improvement of European waterways,
has returned 10 Lacrosse, Wis.
Il am satisfied said Judge Reid,
that the Mississippi river, If i'm
proved between tide water and St.
Paul is capable of carrying ten times
the traffic of all the navigable rivers
OF Germany, Austria, FranceI apd
England. If the Mississippi river
were used in the same manner as the
German rivers it could easily carry
all the freight produced in the Miss
issippi valley and at low cost.
Regarding the chain method OF
Transportation used in German everv
authority seen stated that it was eco
lnomical. as il did not require more
than a third or quarter as much pow
er as the regular method. The Miss
.ssippi river is in proper condition for
the use of this system"

Failures Are Charged to Big Dia-
mond Hoodoo.

When the firms of Joseph FrankePs
Sons. Joseph Frankel's Sons Com
pany. Cattle, Ettinger &, Hammel
and T.. NJ. Cattle & Co, among the
largest importers in the United
STATES, put their business in the
hands of trustees, another was add
ed to the long list OF tragedies that
have marked the story of the Hope
diamond for the last $50 years.
The Hope diamond to some extern
is the cause of the embarrassment.
1t is worth $25O,O0O, and there has
been no one in the United States 10
buy such costly gem. Weighing
~ IA carats and OF a brillant blue,
it has been for $50 years one of the
famous gems of Europe and Ameri-
"a. How many years before that ii
was famous in India is not known
for il did not come from that land
till 1912 Seven years ago Simon
Frankel bought II. and there have
been many negotiations looking to-
ward its sale but all of them have
under and by virtue of the order oil
fallen through.
TIL diamond was brought from In
dia by Tavernier, a Partisan jeweler
and eventually was bought for the
corwn OF Louis XIV. For more thar
100 years it remained possession OF
the reigning family of France. Dur
ling the revolution it, with other
crown jewels, was placed in the
Garde Meuble, and later the last king
who had worn it was guillotined
Louis XVI took off his crown that
was ornamented b this precious
gem TO walk TO his death.
The diamond was never recovered
by the government of France. Dur.
| ing the revolution it was stolen and
for more than a quarter of centdry
was lost. When it appeared again j,
had been reduced in size from IL
carats to 60 Is carats. 1t was offer
ed for sale by Daniel Eliason in 1890
and was purchased by Henry Thorn
as Hope of London When he ex-
hibited it in the London exhibition oil
1851 rhe British public for the first
time saw this remarkable gem.
The Hope heirs held possession oil
it for many years during which the
estate was the subject of long litiga-
ton in the Court OF Chancery. Not
until 1901 were the heirs in a po-
sftion to sell it. Then. after nego-
tiafions, Mr.. FrankeN purchased II
and brought it to the United States.
Since then the $25O.000 diamond
has, formed one of the important as
sets lof the Frankel firm. But it has
been something of a dead asset. II
is believed that had the Frankels
been able to realize on the invest
ment they could have tided over their
financial troubles, and it is likely that
the other firms would have been able
to pull through.

Woman Has No Regard For an Oath
in Court.

More than 200 students OF North
western University law school lost
their breath when Col J. Hamilton
Lewis. national authority on whisk-
ers. former corporation counsel for
Chicago and now an Illinois guber-
material aspirant, expressed his views
on women as merchants.
Colonel Lewis warned the students
against business men, but above all
else, against old women
Among other things, the colonel
rold the lawyers that the preliminary
examination of jurors was not to Sc
leet a jury, but to ascertain points IN
the characters of the jurymen on
which skilful attorney might play.
Some of his advice fellows:
Remember, gentlemen OF the bar,
an oath means nothing to a woman.
When a woman starts out TO perJure
herself nothing can equal her record.
"A woman has no idea OF the sane
|tity of an oath and woman will re-
peat. when on oath, anything which
she will say when not on oath.
above all, remember that wom-
an is a strange animal, and never
question her as to her age. Let the
cross-examiner do that and make an
enemy for life.
"Old ladies are dangerous on the
witness stand They destroy you.
They .rave tact and much experience
and often they are sharper than you
are
Next to the woman, the business
man rs the greatest liar you will have
to deal with.
1.-The educated man. instead OF be-
ing the best witness, is the worst
that can be found"

Johnson Loses $4,000 Suit.

Mayor Tom Johnson OF Cleveland,
must pay a $4,000 coal bill to the
Charles Norton company, coal deal
ers OF Philadelphia. according to a
decision b.; the United States Circuit
Court OF Appeals.
The company supplied the Phila-
delphia and Lehigh Valley Traction
company with coal and Johnson guar
anteed the payment of the traction
company's bills up TO $4,000. The
road was later thrown into the hand,
of a receiver and the Norton Coal
company sued Johnson for the $780,
600.
Johnson objected, claiming the
neglect of the Norton company to
collect the bill from the traction
company released him from liability
on the guaranty. inasmuch as the
company did not exhaust its resour-
ces against the original debtor.

Better Pay for Soldiers.

The pictures which have been pub
lished OF late showing the weakness
Of the United States army have told
their own story. A small group. OF
men. sometimes as few as nine n
the ranks, has been called a com
pany." A regiment seldom shows Its
regular complement The statistics
given by the secretary of war give
the same information. Last year the
army lost 26,31O officers and men
through expiration OF terms OF SER
vice, resignation, disability, or death.
There were 4,5e2 assertions. There
is an authorized strength OF about
rolled about $4,000. The shortage oil
10000 was emphasized because it was
4,42S greater than the year before
The army is not attracting enough
men TO keep its ranks full nor Is il
gaining the kind OF recruits il needs
1t is a surprising thing that out oil
10000 men who applied to recruiting
officers for enlistment only 1862
were found physically all mental
fit. The secretary makes some recon-
mendations which he believes will
help to improve the situation Among
these is one which declares that the
pay of the men should be raised.
1t is said that soldiers are getting
less pay now than they did forty
years ago On the other hand wage;
generally have advanced sha lily il
the same period until they have near
ly doubled in many cases.

Operators Plan is Rejected.

Coal operators and representatives
of the miners met at Chicago Tues
day to discuss working conditions
throughout Illinois The operators
urged that the miners call state
convention and dispose of the differ
ences existing in Illinois prior to any
effort 10 enter into an interstate
agreement. The miners refused TO
consider the plan.
After six hours of discussion the
operators agreed to be in Indianap-
oils January 80, to meet operators
from Indiana, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania The annual conven-
ton OF the miners will be in session
at that time, and it is probable that
a Joint convention will be held, and
the interstate agreement, which was
abrogated two years ago, will be re-
newed

Aldrich Working on a Bill.

Senators Aldrich, Allison and
Hale have been working in har-
mony in the preparation of f.
nancial bill. The committees of
the two Houses are not working
on the same lines. Both have
plans for an emergency currency
to be issued by the national
banks, but while the House COM
mittee is apparently inclined to
what is known as an asset cur
rency the Senate committee is
proceeding on the theory that
only limited list of securities
should be accepted for the in
creased issue to be provided for
under the terms of the proposed
bill. Some of the members of
the Senate committee would linn
it the pledges to State bonds,
while others are willing to &C
cept municipal paper. Very few,
so far as known, would be willing
to go further.
So far there has been no agree
ment as to the percentage of in
crease in the volume of the cur
rency, but the inclination of Sen
ators seems to be to permit as
large an augmentation as the
conditions OF the banks may JUS
tify.
The intention is to provide for
a comparatively high rate of in
terest, some favoring as much as
8 per cent. with the object in
view of bringing about the re-

The Democratic District Convention

Billy Blodgett in the Indianapolis
News says:
THE situation in the Thirteenth
district was peculiar Mr.. Stevens
favored James Kirby Risk for State
chairman. He said so publicly and
privately and 1t was understood that
he was to be reelected on that plat
form. But the convention was really
in charge of Samuel Parker, Charles
Drummord and other Taggart men"
AS Blodgett was not in Plymouth
he must have arrived at his conclu-
sion from the Plymouth Independents
whose editors reputation for truth
and veracity is always questioned.
Every one knows that neither Mr..
Drummond nor Mr. Parker attended
the convention and neither of them
was present in the caucus meeting at
South Bend.

CHRISTMAS IN TEXAS.
A Communication From Mar
shall County People.
Editor Tribune:

Editor Tribune:
AS we have read through the
columns of your paper, with in
terest, the affairs that Marshall
county people in different places
had Thanksgiving Day, perhaps
some would be interested to
know how the Plymouth colony
of Texas spent Christmas.
We have formed a custom of
initiating each family from Mar
shall county, into the colony, by
going to their homes, with we'll
filled baskets to spend the day.
We chose Christmas Day to mi
tiate Mr.. William Seymour, who
recently came here from Ply
mouth.
From early in the morning UNI
til noon you could see young men
on horseback, with guns on their
shoulders, and men with their
families in buggies coming from
all directions to this home. The
men left their women and child
rem at MIR. Seymour home to
spread the dinner which consist
ed of ducks, chicken and rabbit,
salads, pickles and different kinds
OF cake and pies, ETC., while the
men and boys went out hunting
rabbits and other game. They
returned for refreshments with
twenty-five large jack-rabbits.
There were ffty-four Marshall
county persons present. They
started out in the afternoon with
nine on horseback and others in
buggies for a wolf chase. They
showed the pluck of the old pio-
neers OF Marshall county by run
ming wolf three miles. Joe
Goodyear with his good old
broncho gained the honor OF cap
turing the wolf. After getting
the wolf the boys all rounded up
in cowboy style, and journeyed
back to the home. Lawrence
Armantrout brought the wolf in
to the parlor and presented it to
the ladies.
All enjoyed the day so we'll
that they did not depart until a
late hour. The evening was
spent in singing, Mrs. Harry
Ritchey and Miss Anna Kizer,
accompanying with the organ.
George Kizer. in his usual jolly
way spied rag doll of one of
the little girls, and shook it in
clown fashion to rag-time music,
which was enjoved by all.
Near the parting hour, not to
be outdone, the Misses Fay and
Mabel Seymour, Minnie Kizer,
Clara and Lulu Goodyear, Mil
dred and Stella Yazel contribut-
ed their part of the program by
singing few Christmas songs.
As all were preparing to
go nome the INVITATION was given
to the boys to come to the ranch
of a neighbor, about seven miles
away, the next day to kill rabbits.
You know that boys cannot re-
ceive such an invitation without
accepting it. For about 3 hours
next day it reminded us of the
Fourth of July, hearing the rapid
shooting of the guns. They re-
ported the killing of fifty rab-
bits.
All agreed that this had been
most enjoyable Christmas. and
hoped to have many such occa-
sions in the future. We extend
an invitation TO any Marshall
county people to join us and we
will initiate them in the same
way.
Mrs. G.. A. and Miss Anna Kizer.
