It Is alleged that the Earl of Grn-

A Kansas farmer complains that he

eral thousand dollars for what he rep
resented to be a diamond, but which
turns out to lie a stone of little value.

would have no adequate hall for such

big hall for a long time. Denver built
one last year for the National Demo

such a hall by public subscription.
Other cities are similarly equipped, for
