The trial of the Pollard libel suit was resumed . yesterday in federal court. Dur ing the morning H. P. Barrett, the reporter whose writings stirred up all the fu cupled the. \d and told of the circum- stances which led him to write the objec tionable article. While he was being cry examined by Judge Vanatta a rather sen- sational scene took place, The conversa- tion between the reporter and A. Z. Bowen, Mrs. Pollard’s protege, had been related at considerable length, but there was one thing which he said he would not relate unle forced to \lo =0 by the attorneys for the plaintiff. Judge Vanatta insisted on hearin it, and one of Bowen's remarks about Mrs. Pollard was disclosed, which might very well have remained secret. The instant the words were out of the re- porter’s mouth Mrs. Pollard sprang to her feet and commenced to weep. She then re- imed her seat, and with her face conce: a her hands she sobbed convulsively, while jurors, looking very uneasy, surveyed situation from close range. it was evi- dent that there could be no further testi- mony heard until quiet had been restored and Judge Woolson declared a five minutes' intermission, during the course of which Mrs, Pollard was led ‘weeping and exclalm- ing, “Stabbed! stabbed!" from the court room to the private office of the clerk of the court, where she remained for a half or three-quarters of an hour, until she recov- ered her equanimity, During the forencon some letters were read which had been written by Mrs. Pol- lard to Mr. Bowen in care of T. C. Dawson, a friend and attorney of Bowen's, and also letters that she had written to Dawson when she learned that he had opened Bowen’ letters by his orders. In one of these she said she had heard that Bowen had married a girl, and she accused Dawson of having caused him to become a criminal in the eyes of the law by keeping him in ignorance of the fact that she objected to the match, She further said she thought the bride ought to know that thelr children would be illegitimate. In another letter she referred to Bowen as a somewhat quarrel- some and crabbed young man, and said his disposition was due to the fact that he had been Il treated by “that old hag, his mother,” while he was a babe in swaddling clothes, One roast Sobs o of the letters contained a redhot for Dawson. It was read by Attorney Hall for the defense, with considerable gusto, for the roast was made to apply to lawyers, as a class, and Dawson was merely included as belonging to that much detested class. “I thought,” read the letter, “that you were an honest man outside of your pro- Tession”— I think you'd better omit, that, Mr. Hall interjected Judge Vanatia, with a smile. I never yet saw a lawyer who was honest m Hall went on, but again was interrupted, this time by the court. “It_might be well to have it understoo Mr. Hall,” said Judge Woolson, “‘that thi was written before she had refained Judge Vanatta and Mr. Sweet as her attorneys. ““But she had met them before she wrote ctorted Hall, and there was a general laugh at the expense of the plaintiff's torn Abg the middle of the afternoon Woolson adjourned court in order and the jurymen might be able to take the afternoon trains for their respective homes. Clerk Steadman will go to Des Moines to- morrow to draw the jury for the next term of court to be held there, and there will consequently be no more court until Tues- day morning at 10 o'clock. an he " NISON BROS, wt Bankrupt Sale Only Six Days More, The greatest bankrupt eale on record.

Made Out of Clay for Sixty Dollars a Carat by French Chemists, This s the story that a retail jeweler on Broadway tells the New York Sun: “A man came in here the other morning and took out a magnificent stone, which he put on the counter and asked me what I thought of it. . Well, I thought it was a ruby worth bout $700 or $500. The color was a deep pigeon’s blood, and while a magnifier showed little spots like bubbles in the stone, they didn't “interfere with its transparency or ‘What's it worth? said 1 dol at,’ said he. T looggd him in amazement. ‘Then it's paste said I ‘Not a bit of it," said he. I tested it for hardness and it was all right. Then the man explained that, while it was a real ruby, it was produced by artificial means. A French chemist made it. Very few of these stones have come to this co try so far, and in most of those that have there was no material that could be used for jewelry, the orystals were so I This puts a different phase on the bus Artificial erystallization of alumina wa complished scveral ago. The color in the resulting miner superb, but the in- dividual crystals were so minute t croscope was needed to distinguish their angles. They were united by their bases to a crust of amorphous alumina, and sparkled like tiny red stars whenever the light played across them. The natural ruby doubtiess took years, and, very likely, centuries to form.” The chemical ruby, which is pre- cisely the same as the natural ruby, is made in a few weeks. It is almost pure alumina —the earth of the aluminum—the red color being due to a fraction of 1 per cent of iron. The sapphbire Is the same as a ruby, except for its coloring matter, and it has quite a range of color—yellow, purple, pink, gray and white. Corundum is the common variety of alumina, and is much used in the arts, emery being its com- mercial form. The ruby is the most costly of all gems, a stone of deep color, far outranking the dis mond in value, so the discovery that it can be made in a laboratory is disquieting to people who deal in this esteemed mineral, 1t has got into the courts of France already in a suit to recover the money paid for a ring. The decision was that the chemical product had no right to be considered as a ruby, in spite of the fact that in crystal form, weight, hardness, color and chemical composition it is a ruby. Artificial means are employed to produce it, but it is nature, assisted by the chemist, to be sure, that shapes and colors and hardens it. It would be absurd to say that machine made ice is not ice because It was not taken from the surface of a pond. The artificial ruby, to allow the term, is as durable and beauti- ful as the best product of the Burmah mines and it is only the magnifier that shows the little bubbles in it. It is the only one of the precious stones that fs manufactured, al- though science may duplicate the others in the future. The report that diamonds had been chemically produced is authoritatively denied. Jarvis Wine Co,, THE PLAY FELL FLAT. An Election pisode In a own “When I was stationed at old Fort Kear- ney," sald the colonel to the New York man, “I became acquainted with two lishmen in Kearney. Both were cockneys and had great times mixing up their h's One was a real est d the other was a livery stable keeper. The real man added a sort of banking business to his other work, and gave himsclf the airs and swing of a gentleman—I mean in th lish sense. The liveryman was a big-fi brawler and a bully. He was always getting into fights, and almost always he got the best of his antagonist. In some indefinable way the impression got around Valentine that the banker was a coward. No one had ever seen him put to the touch, and he was a peaccable man, who was never in any of the numerous rows which made quiet al- most unknown in Valentine. ‘Both these Englishmen went politics of the country with great Both were republicans, and usually worked very hard for the success of the ticket. But it happened that one fall they split. The liveryman was for the regular ticket, but the banker bolted. Each pulled every wire he knew how to pull, and the fight was hot. Things got o lively that the talk drifted from the chances of the ndidates to the prospects of a personal encounter between the two Englishmen. The liveryman boasted jthat if he caught the banker he'd “ammer’ ‘ell hout of 'im.’ Perhaps It su'ced the banker's purpose to void the big-fisted liveryman, who was certainly more than his equal physically; perhaps It was Just accident; but at any rate they did not meet until the morni; of election day. The voting was br and the polling | was crowded. The liveryman and the banker were hustling for votes as hard as they could, but it was not until about 10 o'clock that they met face to fac 'he instant over the room holding his breath. Day estate into the vigor both hush fell man was that they met a It was as if every Only a few could see what was going on. The others seemed to act from sympathy. As the Englishmen faced each other, without a ward the livery- man drew from his pocket a bright nickled revolver and leveled it at the banker. The muzzle was 8o close to the banker's nose that it would have made him cross-eyed to look at it. The banker's gaze was directly into the e of the liveryman. Every bit of color had left his face. It was as still as death In the room. The men who were stand- ug near the Englishman seemed paralyzed No one lifted a hand to grab the revolver For an insant it was a tableau. hen, In a clear, distinet voice, with the cockne accent more than ever pronounced, the banker sald *‘You damned miserable coward, you aaren't shoot.’ “It was the cutting of the the puppets. In a fraction of a ond, be fore the liveryman could move a muscle before he could fairly realize what the banker had said to him, a dozen men had gral be for the revolver, It snatched out of his hand and he was hustled out of the room mighty quick.
