Moscow. October 9.-[Correspon-
dence Of The Associated Pressl-
Putty and cement by the ION are
being used in Moscow in an effort
on he part of the government to
blot out traces OF the 1917 revolu-
ton.
There is scarcely house in the
Soviet capital which was not mark
ed, more or, less, in the fighting,
and some OF the larger buildings
were peppered with lead and steel
rom rifles, machine guns and
"..apnel. Within the last few
~ eeks hundreds of workmen have
been engaged in the task of filling
the bullet holes with cementN and
putty, and in many instances the
walls have been painted, thus wip-
ing out the visible scars of the days
Of terror which swept the Bolshe
Wiki into power

BOOM IN DIAMONDS
Recent Rumors OF. War Declared
Cause For increased Demand .

Cause For increased Demand
London, October 23.-[Correspon-
dence of The Associated Pressl--
The present boom in diamonds in
England is attributed partly to re-
cent rumors of war in the Near
Es st. Experts in the trade say that
this phenomenon has been noticed
before, and that when political
troubles are brewing the business in
diamonds revives. Not only in
London is this activity noticeable,
but in Antwerp also diamonds have
been changing hands in large num-
bers, somewhat similarly to the
trade which occurred at the time of
the first Russian revolution.
Another reason given for. the dia-
mond activity is that new fields are
being opened, rough diamonds are
coming to hand in larger quantities,
and customers want not only the
finest sort, but also smaller stones
for clusters.

NORTH MANKATO:
NicoIlet County Election

According to the st. Peter Free
press all Nicollet/ county court
house officials will continue in Of
fee, some having no opposition, and
others according to yesterdays re-
turns having a safe lead over their
opponents. Those having no oppo-
sition were: w. H. Holz, county au-
ditor; George T. Olson, county at
torney; Harry w. Daniels, county
surveyor; Albert J. Holmstead,
county superintendent OF schools,
and j. w. Daniels. county coroner.
Q. A. SwenSon, representative from
the fifteenth district also had no
opposition and will continue in Of
fee.
According to returns up to two
o'clock yesterday afternoon it look
ed as If all court house officials in
Nicollet county would be continued
in office.
In the race for the register of
deeds office, the greatest interest
indicate that Peter Fay the present
incumbent has a walk away over
his opponent, Samuel Abrahamson.
Charles ]. Norman, sheriff, had a
very safe margin over his opponent
for that office, Alfred Bergen.
It's a safe bet that Otto Maves,
the present county treasurer, has
been reelected over his opponent,
NJ. E. Sheehan. Maves carried the
city of st. Peter and several of the
outlying precincts. Sheriff Norman
ran more than three TO one against
his opponent in the city of st. Pet
er. In the contest for register OF
deeds Peter Fay, the present in
cImbent, carried the city of st.
Peter over Abrahamson and had
neat majorities in country precincts
according to latest reports.
, For state Offices, the latest re
ports showed that Magnus Johnson
was leading j. A. o. Preus for gov
ernor.
