The levee improvement goes march ing on and the aldermen who pre veulsl its slaughter at the last mo ment are very much on top. Theise lives in Sedalia, Mo., an old gentleman who was tutor to the late King Alfonso XII. of 8 pain. His name is Col. Van 15. Wisker, an American. lorn of English parents. Koo-F.VKtT has already shied his castor into the ring for 1900. He will prove a formidable opponent to Mc Kinley and his immediate political friends are well aware of the fact. Osi. iiflbe mokt notable incidents of the lat election was the defeat of Representative Joseph II. Walker, of Worcester, in the Third Massachu setts district, by John K. Taylor, a district that is rock-ribled in its fidelity to.'republican principles. Mr. Walker was elected two years ago over his democratic competitor by a majority of ll.M'O. Exhai stivk investigations areljeing .made by Spain to determine the cause and place the blame for the destruc tion of her fleets at Manila and at Santiago. These investigations are leing conducted by the supreme coun cil of war and marine, according to information received, and they are expected to cover at least ten months. Some good Samaritan ought to send the Spanish supreme council of war and marine photographs of Dewey and Sampion Keokuk Constitution-Democrat. Ilov. Alt;eli li nils that practically every democrat elected to congress last election stool siiiarely on the silver plank of the Chicago ? platform in making the canvass. The governor says: The gold democracy will now j Kiss out of existence and the demo cratic party from the Atlantic to the I'acitic will" line up on higher ground, it will assume the aggressive, and not only tight for the mighty principles enunciated in IKI'0, but will make it self the champion of struggling hu manity. It will pull this country out of te pool of corruption into which the republicans have dragged it, and will lead our people toward a higher civilization. The election will make Mr. Bryan more formidable than he has ever been, for it is going to bring to the front the great princi ples which he has advocated." A Moline paper has felt constrained to rush to the defense of Sheriff-elect A Tumor Formed Finally It Broke Inwardly and Discharged Trouble Began With Dyspepsia and Impure Glood Thorough Course of Hood's Sarsa parilla Completely Cures. There is danger in impure blood. Disease ami suffcrinir are purely com ing to those who neglect this threaten ing symptom. Kcad this: "Gilliam, Missouri. C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: ''Gentlemen: My troubles began with nervous headaches, which would last me for two or three days. The doctors? pronounced my trouble dyspepsia, but they could not do anything for me, and advised a change of location. At the age of 53 a tumor formed on my spine, which Was Very Painful but did not rise or discharge. The doctor thought best to cut it out, but I objected. It finally broke and discharged a groat deal. The doctors said they could do nothing for it. Then the tumor began to rise inwardly and discharge. I read much about cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla and thought I would try it. Before I had finished taking one bottle I was much relieved. I continued the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla, anw after taking 12 bottles I was entirely cured. I am now well, have a good appetite and feel that I owe my life to Hood's Sarsaparilla. W. D. Fore. food's s parilla Is tb- best In fact the One True Blood Purifier.

However, The An;rs pleads to b? ex cused from leing satisfied with any appointments Mr. Cralle could have made in Hock Island even to the whole bunch if they had been on a par with the individual selected to play second fiddle in the official or chestra about the jail building. DIAMONDS IN AMERICA." Pearls In Illinoi. For a good many years the pearl industry along Green river, a tribu tary of Rock river, in Illinois, has attracted some spasmodic attention, principally from those out of regular employment. The (lenoseo News says the largest and finest pearl ever found in the river is worn by James Kerr, of that place, in a ring It is nearly as large as a hazelnut. :md is almost perfect iu shape and lustre. It is interesting to know that these pearls are formed by an accretion of nacreous juices, which cover grains of sand or other foreiirn substances that get within the shell of the clam. Pearls can be manufactured, with the help of this bivalve, bv introducing shot within the shell and returning the clam to the water, Perfectly rouud pearls can thus be produced in from six months to a year. The longer they are allowed to remain, the deeper the nacreous coating, and the finer the luster of the pearl. The reason so many pearls are oblong and misshapen rests in the fact that they are formed about oblong and mi shapeu objects. l.y mahingthe shot Hat, a Hat pearl is produced, very nice for - brooches or pins. Other sub stances may be used as well as shot. The Chinese insert a small image of their god, llmMlia. and in a year have the little statuette in pearl. They cut all sorts of fantastic images in tin, and thus produce ail manner of pearls, .stars, discs, crosses and any other shapes that fancy suggests. The News has found the following in teresting article, setting forth the operation, in an Iowa exchange: "Experiments of a like nature with the rough-shellt d iinies of t'ne Cedar river (Iowa) have Irvn practiced for the last few years witk fair success. An average sized .shell or shells from a section oi" the river bed known to pro duce brilliant Iustered shells were al lowed to remain in the sun until the valves parted. With a UickIy in serted wedge in the opening the shell is immediately dipped in water to sustain life. The operator then care fully lifts the mantle from the shell, and with a pair of tweezers drops in a pellet of wax, glas b.-ad or other small article that he is desirous of having coated, (.'are is taken not to strain the muscles by forcing the wedge while the clam is resisting the intrusion. After objects are placed in that parts of tlie'dui showing the best color, the maatel is drawn- to place, the wedge removedand the clam allowed to resume its normal condi tion. With a sullicient number lixed in the above described way they are placed in a pond or bayou that will not freeze its depth during the winter. At the expiration of six months or one year at the most, the unio will have thrown a covering that securely fastens them to the shell. I'sually ab6ut two-thirds of the object thus fastened remains above the shell, though it is presumed that in time the natural growth of the shell would entirely effect this."' Kohtx-ri Mi lirart. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver, of Fhiladelplua. was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in, a most dreadful condition. My skin, was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain contin ually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growiug weaker day by day. Three physicians had given mo up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying Electric liitters.' and to my great joy and surprise, tbu lirst bottle made a decided improvwOicnt. continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, and robbed the grave of an other victim." No one should fail to try them. Only 60 cents per bottle at Hart z & LTlemever's dru;r store.

In to country axe there more dia mond? to be found than iu the United State. according to the population. It is estimated by a leading Maiden lane (New York) diamond dealer that there are upward of $300,000,000 worth of diamonds in this country. Moreover, this vast amount is increasing year by year. Until qnit,e recently diamonds were rarely cut in this, country, but Amer ican inventors have developed a process for diamond cutting which is vastly su perior to that done abroad. The loas in weight through cutting is sometimes fully one-half, but the value is increased probably more than two fold. The Ectch city of Amsterdam has been the great diamond cuttiug center of the world from time immemorial and up to a few- years ago over 12,000 peo ple in that place were directly or indi rectly dependent upon this trade. Hut it was not reasonable to suppose that Amsterdam should continue to hold a monopoly of diamond cutting. As one of the greatest importing cities of the world. New York gradually offered in ducements to diamond cutters, and an industry hits been gradually built up here that is now very nourishing and profitable. In 183S Ileury D. Morse of liostou invented a muchino for cuttiug and polishing diamonds, and since then improvements have been mado r.pou it that are very important. Tho foreigners continue to polish their stones by hand, tut iu this country machinery is large ly used. A famous gem expert places tho total value of all the diamonds in the world at over $ 1,000,000,000, of which $350, 000, 000 worth are in the hands of deal ers, carried as stock. All of tho other diamonds aro in the hands of private in dividuals, and tho question naturally arises, who owns them? This is not so easily answered, except in tho case of large and world famous gems. Godey's Magazine. PAYNE'S DESERTED TOMB. nrmiuueenceft of the Anthor of "Home, Sweet Home." The old Christian cemetery at Tunis is ono of tho strangest sights in that strange town. Just otf a busy thorough fare, under an ancient archway, is a heavy wooden gate, much worn by tho lap.-e of time, thickly studded with fan tastic nails and provided with a prodi gious knocker. The latter, however, is not needed, for the gate yields to an energetic push, and yon tind yourself in a large, walled inclosure, half garden, half graveyard, where an Italian wom an is hanging out clothes among the gaunt white tombs. It is 12 years since any ono was buried hero, and the place is beginning to look neglected. The modern cemetery is now outside tho wall, and its guardian told mo that many pooplo camo to him to immire for tho monument of "an Aracrioan poet" or "an American consul," and he had to send them to tho old graveyard. Tho monument in question is that of the author of "Home, Sweet Home," and it hears the following inscription upon its sides: "In memory of John Howard Payn, author of 'Hume, Sweet Home. ' Horn June , 1791; died April 0, 1832. Erected A. D. 1S33." American Arms eaglo Furmonntcd by motto "K Pluribns Uifum. " "Died at the American consulate in Tunis. Aged HO years and 10 mouths." "In tho tomb beneath this stone tho poet's remains lay buried for 80 years. On Jan. 5, 1SS3, they were disinterred and taken away to his native land, where they received honor and final burial in tho city of Washington Juno 8, 1 SisS. 'Then be content, poor heart.
