WHAT BECOMES OF ALL
THE IMPORTED NJ

New York. May 13.-Customs APP
praisers are wondering what becomes
of the ever increasing wealth of gems
brought to this country. Every month
marks a new record with a remarkable
total of $16,000,000 given as the value
of gems that have passed through the
New York customs house since the first
of this year. Alarm over the proposed
increase in the tariff is believed to have
had some INFLUENCE among importers.

STRONG PRESSURE BROUGHT
TO BEAR TO DEFEAT BILL

Washington, May 13.-The fact that
Secretary Bryan has addressed an APP
peal to Governor Johnson. OF Califor-
mia. to veto the anti-alien bill inasmuch
as the governor had, unofficially at
least, repeatedly declared his purpose
to sign the bill as it passed the legis-
lature,. is taken in official circles hero
as indicating either that some power
full influences have been brought to
bear upon the governor, in the inter-
est of delay, or more probably that the
Wilson administration is perfecting its
record.
In this action there may be a double
purpose. First to satisfy Japan that
the federal government has one all it
can to prevent the legislation under its
constitutional limitations. of which
many diplomats contend japan should
have been aware when it entered into
treaty relations, and secondly to place
ON the state authorities of California
the responsibility for any serious out
come of the alien land legislation.

GAGE COUNTY CLEANS

Lincoln, Neb., May 1.-THE state

a check for SIC, 2s4.4S, being the last
payment, with interest, on an issue Of
bonds made In 1879 by Gage county to
assist in the building of the Omaha

county.
The original issue was for $50, 600,
made to cover an amount voted in
1872 and which after the issue in 1879,
were refunded in 1892. The bonds were
cent interest. They would double in a
little over Is years, and it is easily
figured how much Gage county has
paid for its issue of railway bonds

RIVERS UP AND DOWN.

Minnesota is so situated that in
the northern part of the state there
is a great area of land so flat that
its waters sometimes flow into Hud-
son bay and sometimes into the Gulf
Of Mexico. This area contains the
headwaters of the Mississippi river.
There are times when certain lakes
discharge at both ends, the northern
outlet taking the flow through Red
river or Rainy river into Lake VIM
nipcg, and thence into Hudson bay,
while the southern outlet leads to the
Mississippi. Therefore, the dividing
line between the Mississippi drain
age basin and that of Hudson bay is
indefinite and in many places can
not be determined, and the consid-
Grafton of these two basins in con-
nection with their water supplies
and the uses that can be made there
of must logically be taken up to-
her.-IndianapoliS News.

VINE or iNsIDIoUs NATURE
Japanese Hop VIII Grow and Spread
With Persistence Nothing
+; Can Curb.

Dear to the heart of the amateur
gardener is the assurance that a vine
is "of rapid growth strong an
nual, valuable for covering unsightly
fences and other surfaces, and af-
fording a pleasant shade when
trained up the side of the porch. :"
Yet vine may be all these things,
and possess other attractive qualities,
and still be one to be selected with
much caution. The much advertised
Japanese hop vine, either the plain
Or variegated sort, is Of a most in
sidious nature.
As far north as Lake Erie its tiny
seeds take no harm from the bleak
winters, and while your own initial
sowing Of them may have needed
coaxipg, the self-sown are all too
vigorous. They come'up in a garden
bed, paths, all through the. grass,
pushing out and twisting around,
with their wiry, prickly stems, DELI
cate ANIMALS and stout perennia!s
alike. The more you pui! up, the
more seems to come up. The per-
sistence of self-sown morning glory
Seeding is mere apathy beside the
vigorous determination Of these too
''strong ANNALS" to enter in and pos
sess your garden. The blossom" of
japanese hops being so very small
and inconspicuous-in no way resem-
bling that of the perennial sort
grown for commercial purposes in
this country--one hardly realizes
how abundantly the seeds are being
produced until the following spring.
