PRECIOUS STONES IN
BED OF ARKANSAS

The Kansas City Jeweler and Opti-
clan, published for the benefit Of
jewelry dealers, prints the following
item which Is of more than ordinary
interest here, because it deals with
local affairs:
IA new industry has been discover
ed In Wichita. but whether 1t will
result in much money to its discov-
erers or not is a question. Opals,
moonstones. and alleged diamonds
have been discovered in the sand
which is being pumped up from the
bottom Of the Arkansas river, says
the Wichita Eagle. Frank Diever.
night clerk at the Keystone hotel,
was the first man in the field. Dur
ing the summer he took his usual two
weeks vacation, but decided that
Wichita WAS as good place as
any in which to pass 1t, and the
second day of leisure he enjoyed hi,
steps wandered down to the river
bank to watch where the dredgt
boat was pumping sand out onto
the sidewalk at the rate of ter
barrels a minute. He watched II
for time and then. being An old
traveller and miner, his attention was
attracted in certain peculiar Jumps
which lie saw thrown up with the
sand and water. He gathered up q
few. brushed the mud from them,
and their improved appearance caused
linn to slip them into his pocket fol
. moro careful examination later on
In the seclusion of his room.
''As he had picked up precious
stones in various parts Of the world.
Frank Is something Of an expert, and
It did not take him long to decide
that he had struck small bonanza.
He sent the s'ones away to be cut and
the result was q half dozen first
class opAls and moonstones. He also
acquired . few diamonds but the
latter do not possess any great luster.
and may be set down a. Of decidedly
inferior grade II they are diamond.
1t all
'But the opals and the moonstone,
are genuine and have been passed
upon favcrably by experienced lspi.
diaries.
"After lie found that there was nc
danger Of having his friends laugh al
him. Diever made known his story
and during the fall number of per
sons spent their idle time searching
In the sand for other specimens. A
few were successful. Whether thi,
supply will be large enough to be OF
any value is uncertain.
''As the sand from which these
stones were secured came from twenty
feet below the surface 1t is believed
that they have washed down with the
under:,ow Of the Arkansas river from
some subterrAnean volcanic region In
the Rockies.

The LiqrOr Question.

side Of the question, provided
the writer's cOnfna themselves

tiles,
For ourselves we confess that
we are on the fence" as regards
this subject. Ever a believer in
high license cur faith is some
what shaECnnow, and we are be,
ginning to believe that there
must be something in prohibit
ton or why should the brewers
show so much alarm at the prog
reSS OF the temperance prOpa-
ganda? Our objection to prOhi-
bition has always been that it
does net prohibit, but it must
accomplish something otherwise
the liquor makers would show
no concern.
Locally, the subject is deli
cate one. The municipal and
parochial debts are prcdicated on
the levying Of high license. If
prohibition win, these debts
must be met by additional taxa

the question will be fought out.

Mrs. Stockings Death.


bic one year ago, that eternity of
suffering hours and minutes has
been almostunceasingly spent in
a struggle with death, ending as
1t inevitably does with the victo-
ny against the pallid mortal.
Mrs. Eugenia Stocking passed
to the Great Beyond on Sunday
morning. Her illness had reach
ed an acuter stage the week pre-
vlous, if that could be said of one
whose sufferings had been ex-
cruciating for SO long, but it was
seen that the end was near.
Surrounded by her devoted Sis
tiers and daughters and consoled
by her religion, she met the Ali
Conqueror.
Mrs. Stocking was the widow
of Dr.. Denisar Stocking, a den
fist well-known throughout this
section not only for his profess
slonal skill but for his genial SO
"ial virtues. They were married
in 1868 and most of their we'd
ded life was spent here. A few
months before his death in 1887
the family removed to New Or
leans, and there remained until
his daughters were educated,
when the family bereft of hus-
band and father returned to st.
Francisville. Possessed of con-
siderable property in real astate,
his widow kept everything to-
gether, administering her affairs
ably, showing the closest atten-
ton to business.
She was a kind and devoted
mother, a loving sister, a devout
church-Woman. Mrs. e. S. Muse
and Mrs. O. D. Brooks of St.
F'rancisville are her sisters, Jas.
TRENT Of Morganza her only
brother. Her daughters, whose
devotion to their mother was
truly beautiful are Mrs. James.
Klbourne and Mrs. e. S. Bates
of St. Francisyille and Mrs.
Chas. Howell of Kinder, La.
The burial services were held,
Monday morning at II O'Clock,
the funeral proce 5sion proceed
ing from the family residence to
St. Mary of Mt. Carmel church,
where Rev. Father Van Grinsven
performed the sacred Offices for
the dead, as provided by the Ro-
man Catholic church, thence to
Grace Cemetery, where she was
laid beside the husband of her
youth ahl happy Womanhood.
To her loved ones, who return
to the home emptied of her pres
ence and at q loss no longer to be
able to render the services to the
invalid which had become habitu
al, aiTectionate sympathy is ex-
tended. They loved much. They
sorrow much. The reward Of
their filial devotion shall be great.
