RICH DIAMOND FIELD.
Expert Says Arkansas Deposits
 Should Be Developed.

Little Rock.-Development of Ar kansas recently discovered diamond mines is urged by Emile Ludwig, a jeweler of Leipzig, who gave out d statement for publication in New York the other day.
 If diamonds continue to be dis covered he said, ''in different parts of the world, the price of these gems should decrease somewhat. l see that diamonds have been discovered in Arkansas, and the deposits should be developed, and the finishing of cut stones therefrom should be under taken. Diamonds have been discov- cred in the German possessions in South Africa recently, and the Ger man government apparently is going 10 reap a rich reward for the millions it spent in quelling uprisings among the natives there.
 Your Arkansas diamond fields should be developed. If this is done it will add immensely to the wealth of the state in which they have been found''

Citizen of Hot Springs Wanted in Des Moines to Testify in
 the Mabray Case.

Hot Springs.-State and federal of. ficials have advanced a point in legal complication here concerning the pos session of George Ryan, who is want ed by the government at Des Moines in connection with the famous Ma bray footrace operations, now being probed by the United States author ities.
 Ryan has resided in Hot Springs about two years. He is under in dictment' on a charge of intent to kill, in connection with a fight in which he participated some time ago, and when Deputy Marshall Bickers arrived here to serve a warrant on Ryan and take his away his bonds men objected, on the ground that he might not be returned in time for the criminal trial docketet in the Garland county circuit court.
 The federal officers pressed their case and insisted upon taking Ryan, and the bondsmen made a flank move and surrendered Ryan to the sheriff and asked to be relived from the bond
 The federal offiff1cials declare they will take radical steps to secure pos sesion of Ryan, who is now in jail awaiting trial-and the next move of the government authorities.

Courtesy includes not merely social kindness, graces of speech, absence of rudeness, but honorable treatment of business associates and of all the fel- low citizens with whom man of af- fairs may have business to transact. It is not American to keep one citi- zen waiting all day at the door be- cause he is poor, and to grant an other citizen an interview because it is believed he is rich Wisdom is not confined in a purse, and frequently much wisdom may be learned from a poor man.

Chehalis day a banner day at the
Exposition. 1t is expected that full

the other harbor cities can be de-
pended upon to furnish an equal
number.
The cities in the eastern end of
the county also report the probabili-
ty of considerable crowd; in fact,
according to information received
at the Northern Pacific offices in
this city, the entire eastern end of
the county will turn out en- masse
1t Is desirable that those who
intend to go, purchase their tickets
either today or tomorrow. Arrange.

is possible and it is hoped that all
who can do so will avail themselves
of the opportunity. There is Ger.

it is desired to run the train or

ticket in advance will confer ia.

to Please.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The
complete collapse of all important
opposition to the conference report
on the tariff bill was evidenced to-
day when the senate agreed to vote
on that measure at o'clock next
Thursday Half an hour after
unanimous consent had been given
for that course disinclination on
the part of senators to speak brought
an early adjournment until tOmor-
row noon.
The lack of interest in the pro-
ceedingh was evident. This was
caused by an agreement Of Western
senators to vote on the conference
report and to correct the hide and
leather schedule by means of con-
current resolution to be acted upon
separately.

For the first time in weeks every

last night though little business was
transacted. The ordinance giving
the Grays Harbor & Puget Sound
railroad an extension of time over
that granted in their franchise, came
up and when the council showed a
disposition to allow it to lay over
until next week, Quackenbush rose
and ma lengthy speech brought out
that the city as far as railroads W ent
was in the grasp of an "Octupas'
and that the sooner steps were TAX

corporation which merely had to

interviewed, and for nearly an hour,
questions of privilege and points of
order were discussed and finally ac-
tiOn was taken on the measure, but
alas, it was only to lay it over un-
til the next meeting.

as he said "to make a noise like a
