In tho written story of western develop
ment only threo states brighten tho breezy
chapters with tho light of illnmonJa. Cali
fornia nud Wyoming havo had diamond dls-
filngs, salted for tho occasion, and Montana
worked off nn cxtcnslvo field for native
gems on London speculators. When the
next volumo of tho story comes to bo writ
ten Nebraska should rccolvo a diamond
chapter rivaling tho record of Us sister
states. In each lnstanco tho wealth of
precious stones held up to tho gazo of tho
multltudo dazzled Imaginations and success
fully lured tho nlmblo dollars from count
loss pockots beforo tho lights wont out for
ever. Llko Its predecessors, tho fabled
diamond diggings of Nebraska havo boon
worked to a finish, and four-fifths of thoso
who staked their monoy on tho gatno pos
sess ornate certificates as souvenirs of blind
faith. Somo havo Induced discreet friends
to kick them away bbek to n rear scat.
Others nro feeing lawyers to watch tho
post mortem. In no Instance, however,
does tho promoter appear as a loser In tho
deal.
Somo fifteen months ago, when tho dig
gings wero In their Infancy, Tho Lice di
rected attention to tho gatno and pointed
out tho lncvltablo result. Promoters nnd
victims ollko opened their hot air pipes and
Indulged In a prolonged roar of denial,
without changing tho result In tho slightest
degree Out of a dozen or moro tontlno
diamond companies then In existence fow
aro working in tholr old haunts today.
Threo died n nntural death, threo aro In tho
hands of receivers, two havo moved out of
tho state, four havo shifted headquarters
and tho rcmnlndcr retain a scmblnnco of
life by tho aid of hot air tonics.
An Old fSninc.
Tho history of tho diamond tontlno
schemo Is a ropotltlon of tho numerical
bond graft which plucked tho central west
for several million dollars in tho early
'90s. Practically similar methods wero
pursued in both Instances and lapses were
relied upon to fulfill contracts. Falluro
to meet payment at the specified time
worked a forfelturo of tho amount paid on
a given contract, so that tho mlsfortuno
or neglect of somo members wero tho solo
rcJIanco of tho promoters to perform tholr
part of tho contract. In other words tho
schemo was to profit tho few at tho ex
pense of tho many. In support of this
theory, llfo Insurance tables wero quoted
extensively, and tho claim was mado that
what Ufa Intmranco had dono could bo
readily duplicated In tho diamond tontlno
scheme. Dut nn ounco of expcrlenco
proved moro effcctlvo than n ton of theory
or columns of Juggled Insuranco tables.
Expcrlenco with numerical bonds, as with
tho diamond scheme, demonstrated that
lapses wero precious fow. Tho huge profits
promised was a bait too tempting to bo
easily dropped nnd nlnc-tonths of tho mem
bers hung on llko grim death, each ono
hoping that the others might let go and
rndlato his shirt bosom with an Incan
descent glow.
Four DIxtrlliutliiK Point).
Tho principal 'distributing points for dia
monds In thts'stato wero Omaha. Lincoln,
Hastings and. Grand Island. Hastings ap
pears to havo been the most prolific field,
having had six tontlno companies In less
than two years. Tho first was tho Benefi
cial Tontlno company. It did considerable
business for a time, then moved to Omnhn
and collapsed. Tho Tontlno Investment
company ran for ten months and was sold to
Omaha parties. Four others followed, all
orgnnlzed by Hastings business men. Two
of theso nro alive, ono Is In n, receiver's
hands and tho fourth moved to Omnha.
Throo of tho six transferred their head
quarters to Omaha, following tho custom of
tho tribe, thus checking local Inquisitive
ness and removing tho surplus beyond the
range of local disturbance. It Is estimated
tho six Hastings companies Issued 2,000 con
tracts, of which COO aro said to havo been
paid.
Lincoln has had throo companies the
Tontlno Mercantile, tho Columbian and tho
Tontlno Investment company. Tho first
named transferred Its headquarters to Salt
Lake City, nnd hundreds of contract holders
aro waiting for the promised diamonds.
Tho second moved to York. Tho third shut
up shop Just as Its contracts wero nbout to
maturo and is, now undergoing liquidation.
Theso companies Issued about 2,100 con
tracts and matured 400, but bow many wero
paid off Is unknown. Tholr combined re
celpts wore between $20,000 and $30,000, of
which not moro than 20 per cent was paid
back to tho contract holders.
Or ii ml Ifflntiil'a Ilrllllant.
Grand Island's Security Tontlno company
Issued f00 contracts, of which 101 wero ma
tured and paid. Tho balanco Is In tho
hands of a receiver. Tho lnsldo history of
this company as rovcalcd In tho court pro
ceedings on tho application for a receiver
presents two significant features In Janu
ary of this year, after building up an elo
gant business during 1900, tho postal nu
thorltlcs pronounced its contracts a lottery
and forbid tho company tho uso of the
mails. This was a solar plexus blow from
which It did not recover. Tho local field
was not large enough to work profitably,
and nearby vcrduro was a necessary of life,
A lawyer was dispatched to Washington to
securo n modification of the mall order. He
returned with a modification of tho com
pany's contract Instead, tho uso of which
would cnnblo tho company to uso tho malls.
Tho contract approved by tho postofilce
authorities wiped out tho clement of chance
entlroly by providing that when tho con
tract holder had tho required amount ($200)
to lib credit his contract should bo re
deemed. JCfforts to substltuto tho new con
tract for thp old proved abortive. Holders
of tho old form of contract thought they
had too good a thing and declined the ex
change Of theso 110 havo been paid up
and tho remainder of tho E00 contracts
Issued havo varying sums to tholr credit.
About $10,000 was paid out on tho 101 con
tracts redeemed. Only ono diamond changed
bands nnd that brilliant was secured by a
railroad man In Omaha. Tho others wero
satisfied with cash. Who theso fortunate
follows aro is something of a mystery,
Vory few nro local residents, nnd tho Im
pression provalls that Grand Island peoplo
should havo been given a better ehow on
tho ground floor. Tho names of4bo organ
izers of tho company do not appear on the
books as contract holders. Was tholr faith
less than tbelr patrons'?
The Omnha Crop,
Threo tontlno companies wero organized
In Omnha. Threo of tho Hastings com
panies moved to this city. At least ono
outside company maintains a branch here.
Of tho seven compnnles which worked this
Hold at vcrlous times at least threo aro do
funct, another Is tied up In court on an
application for a receivership and tho re
maining threo nre dragging out a feeblo
existence, moro or less undor cover. It Is
estimated they unloaded at least 1,000 con
tracts In this vicinity nnd If they paid oft

Tho recent loss at THIS IMMENSE AKT AND MUSIC1 ESTABLISHMENT was quickly adjusted by the insurance

SliliiK l'l the Rrnft.
A summary of tho operations of tho dia
mond promoters at tho four distributing
centers of tho stata cannot bo mado with'
nny degrco of accuracy becauso tho affairs
of several companies which shifted head
quarters aro not accessible. A partial list
shows 5,500 contracts Issued and 1,200 paid
off. As a general thing tho tontlno con
tracts called for seventy-six weekly pay
ments of $1.25 each and an advance pay
ment of $5, a total of $100. Each con
tract holder paid off received a two-carat
diamond or tho equivalent In cash, $100.
Tho fortunato 1,200 paid In $120,000 nnd re
ceived In cash or diamonds a total of $192,
000, a net prollt of $72,000. To mako up this
vast sum tho holders of 4,300 contracts
woro skinned. Tho total number of con
tracts Issued In this state was much higher
than tho 5,500 estimate. Only partial pay
ments wero made on a great number. Tak
ing tho excess, tho lapses, aud adding 1,500
of tho known contracts leaves 4,000 con
tracts, on which, It Is fair to assume, tho
full amount of $100 has been paid. That
means a total of $400,000 poured Into tho
coffers of the tontlno companies. Subtract
ing from that sum tho estlmato of $192,000
paid on canceled contracts leaves a balanco
of $205,000 to compensate tho promoters and
boosters for tholr exhausting labors In shed
ding precious stones over tho land. Kach
contract paid oft actually cost $333, accord
ing to this showing, and every tontlno dia
mond In sight represents tho contributions
of four victims of the game. Tho famous
remark of tho lato I'hlneas T. Ilarnum, "A
sucker Is born every mlnuto," attains the
luster of a truism with tbe passing years.
