A five per cent bond you would consider a good purchase even at a premium, but diamonds will pay double that. We are getting twice what we sold lor a few years ago and the "market is active and strong." As a matter oi fact there are a very few certain things in this world, but diamonds are among the select few. Come in and discuss the matter. Niewohner, Gass-Higgins.

H. Dack, Druggist. O'dellaFree Man. O'dell who was brought all the wayH from the Phillipine Islands to answer the charge of criminal alxirtion, com mitted on the erson of Miss Fredericks near Creston more than a year ago, is a free mnn. He was released yesterday when County Attorney Latham with drew the suit against him. This action was taken by Mr. Latham because of the death of the principal witness, Wilmer Eicrly, in the Dodge county jail last Saturday without whose testi mony he lacked suflicient evidence to convict. This case has cost Platte county hundreds of dollars, and the story when fully told may contain some interesting revelations. Eierly, who had suffered from a stomach disease was attacked last week by hiccoughs, which caused his death. He was a self-confessed criminal who had consented to turn state's evidence against his partner in crime. The details of rfhis revolting story are known to Journal readers. A Week of Parties.

It I One of th .lltt.M lt'i"lHiv nn lliileuns f l"r':t ures. A greedy, voracious relentless crea. ttire is the octopus and a most formi dable enemy even t man, for it is easier to cut or tear off one of those terrible long arms with its two rows of suck ers than to induce the creature to re lliiquish any r.rey it has laid hold of. These suckers also enable it to dm Its bvriy Into very narrow crevices, from which scarcely eny force will avail to remove it. Like its beautiful brother the argo naut, it defies its enemies by ejecting Ink, but the octopus Is so subtle and clever that he can vary the color of his Ink according to the color of the ground he is passing over, and, as be is very active and darts about at lightning speed, he constantly escapes being can glit. He Is an unsociable creature, nppar ently quite sntislied with his own so ciety, as be roams about alone, seeking what he may devour on rocky shores, where lie may be met with of all sizes, varying in length from an inch to two rM tif?i f.1.2 The octopus has one very curious habit when n sting he colls up some of his arms into a semblance of th shell of the urgunaut Pearson's Week ly.

Americ&.n Duchess An Inventor i MUMMiutHnHnutmH Cornelius Vauderbilt is not the onlj member of the famous family of mil lionaires who has the inventive faculty His sister Consuelo , the beautifu beautiful duchess of Marlborough, i: somewhat of an inventor herself. Recently, in her mansion, now Hear ing completion in Mayfair, she wanted an elevator which should have feature that no elevator in existence presented She explained her plan to the archi tects. They were nonplussed. "Why," said one, "1 have never seer any model of such a device." "Well," retorted the imperious duch ess, "is there any reason why such as elevator should not be practical?" "None that I know of," respoddeO the man of plans. "It simply happen; that we have nothing to work by. II would necessarily be an entirely origi nal design." "Vehy well," was Consuelo's amazing reply. "If you can't design me what I want. I'll do it myself." The surprising part of It is that shi kept her word. In a few days she worked out the plans and showed tbem to the architect. He went over theic critically, perhaps not entirely unwill lng to And an error that would givt him a little triumph over the American Cirl who, with such assurance, attempt, ed a task that might have daunted man. But the plans were above re proach. Although defeated, the architect wa quick to see the value or Consuelo's in volition. The elevator was at one built along the lines mapped out by th duchess. It worked perfectly and fc now not the least wonder in that pal ace of marvels. The distinctive feature of the elera tor is that it dispenses with the neces sity of an attendant. A little pressun on an automatically regulated button is all that Is necessary to bring the "lift" to any desired height. Before long, Americans will havo chance to see just how the elevatoi works, for its use Is not to be conGned to the home of Its inventor. As soon as it had been demonstrated that a discovery of the genuine value had been made, the fine business sense oi the Vanderbilts at once asserted itself That talent for making money that en abled the famous old commodore to start as a ferryman and gradually build up a fortune that was to make his namr a synonym for boundless wealth was not content with merely getting glory out of the invention. "We'll patent it," said Consuelo Hence It is registered in all gravity in the ponderous tomes that make th records of the British patent office that one Consuelo, duchess of Marlborough, is entitled to reap all the profits from a "lift" with a button device to regulate its elevation to any desired height." There is every reason to believe that these returns will be well worth th while. A number of offers have al ready been made to the duchess for hei rights in the inention, and if she will ed she could probably sell out for not less than 10,000, a fairly tidy sum fot even a Vanderbilt. Indeed, the old commodore, looking down from thm particular part of the place of rewardt set aside for millionaires, must feel thai his daughter is well maintaining the traditions of the family. It is not alone in the elevator that the duchess gave rein to her inventive talent in planning out the mansion. When it h fully completed she will be able U point to many features that are th creation of her fertile genius. The dac. orations and the arrangement of tin principal apartments are entirely the result of her own suggestion. "I want .something distinctive," sh said, when discussing her intentions; "something that shall lie different from the other houses I may from tlmo tc time visit." The duke opposed no objections te the many original ideas bis wife sketched out, partly, perhaps, liecausf of feeling that it Is a pretty good idea to give an American girl her way, and partly, undoubtedly, because of his known admiration for Uie unusual abil ity of his wife at almost anything she attempts. "It's to be your house," was his com ment ; go ahead and build it your owr way." So many changes and alteration? nave been made by the duchess since the original drawings were first ap proved that it is a common joke among the workmen that her name and not that of the architect should b- signed to the plans. As a known patron of music the duchess felt It incumbent on her te have a music rr.om which should be n fit sptting for Hue many great singers nad virtuosi who will appear there, am: for the many famous and royal person j who will be her guest. So it Is that this room is perhaps th most splendid In the entire mansion It is the purpose of the duchess to open It with a magnificent concert, and Kin? Edward himself la among the guestf she wil entertain. Cornelius Vanderbilt's locomotive boiler has proved to be a feasible ani valuable attachment. In the same cpnso the elevator of the duchess is t financial asset worth the having. There is no doubt that brother and sistct would be able to keep the wolf frore the door should any untoward accident suddenly deprive them of their wealth Incidentally, they have between them managed to disprove an honored saw for in their case surely no one coull say that necessity has been the mothei of invention.

Elton Dickinson and Heme Babcock can give first band information on how the "weary willies" work the dear people for "band outs" and the Misses Dora Weaver and Elsie Brngger can back the boys statements with the testimony of oyo-witnesses. Louis Ligbtner and II. Ilockenberger were selected tie the easiest victims for the demonstrations of these young people, and their judgment pro vel to be good. Disguised as tramps I be boys first visit ed the Klliot home Louis Lightner mot them at tho back door and listened sympathetically to their talo of hard luck. They were hungry. That was enough for Louis. He went through Mrs. Elliot's cupboards till he found a line large cake, which he proceeded to cut and divide with them- He didn't know it was a cake prepared for Sunday company. Neither did the boys nor the girls who were concealed in the bushes nearby watching operations. It worked bo well they tried II. Ilockenberger with about the same results. He was very solicitous to know their life-story which they told with great pathos. Base Ball. The base ball season for Columbns is really just opening. The diflicnlty wbich Manager Corbett has met during the summer to securo regular players is at last overcome, and he has as strong a line-up as any amateur team in the state. "Jack" Corbett the most popular catcher in Nebraska has been booked for l ho rest of the season and the two Indians from Genoa are also listed. A good crowd was out Sunday to see "Jack" perform in the third game against Fnllerton. He played in the same obi way, batting out a home run. It is always worth the price of admission to watch ''Jack" Corbett through a game. Columbus won three straight from Fnllerton, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. the score for the three games being 7 to 4, 8 to 2 and 9 to 0. The Fnllerton team did good work especially Smith at short, who played errorless ball, but they were outclassed by onr boys. Manager Corbett is trying to book a game with Havelock next Sunday. On the 2.8th our hoys will play nt the Madi son Fair. On the 211th they will meet the Omaha Leagne team in Columbus. In District Court. The district court is burdened this week with two divorce suits. YictoriaMasIonka seeks a divorce from Anton Maslonka alleging crnelty and habitual drunkness as grounds. Tho parties have three children and live in Columbus. Alice Ault seeks dihorce on grounds of crnelty and desertion. The parties wero married at Seward in 190". Tho defendant is charged with threatening the plain tiff's life. She asks to be re stored to her maiden name, Alice Head. Estella Thompson has sned F. II. (errard for a dissolution of partner ship and an accounting. Both parties are of Monroe. The trouble arises from a joint ownership of a stock of goods in Monroe, which was traded for land owned by one Lichty. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant made fraud ulent representations nltout the land in question and got away with SI, 000 worth of the goods. Dr. J. E. Paul, Dentist.
