The Question of Profits,

every business transaction. Messrs.

Combination system of operating in

the system they mass together various

with the aggregate becomes giants in

equality with the kings of finance,
whether the amount invested be great
or small. SIS pays $40, Or 5 per cent

to the market. Messrs. Lawrence &

plains everything. The Brooklyn Jour

j. w. Shaeffer & Co., tobacconists,
1923 Sacramento street, San Francisco.
have the following of vital Importance
to say:
AT u large expense we have purclas-
ed from Professor Hartwig, formerly
OF Guys hospital in London, the Sc
cret OF practically extracting the great
est part of the nicotin from tobacco,
thereby preventing the pernicious eff
fects arising from the constant use of
the weed. Our new cigar, ''Bon Ton,"
is made from Havana tobacco, from
which we have extracted nearly all the
poisonous principle, but left the resin
GUS matter, which imparts to the cigar
Il line aromatic flavor. Every smoker,
at times, has said, upon being offered 1t
cigar mo, l have smoked enough!''
Under such conditions he instinctively
feels that he is under the influence of
the nicotin, which his system has alb
sorbed, and is exerting its deleterious
effects by disturbing the functions Of
his brain. No such truly alarming
consequences will result from smoking
our "Bon Tom cigar, because the dam
gerous poison Of the nicotin is gone
and its exquisite qualities alone remain
to crafty the sense of smell and taste.
1t will be astonishing to consumers,
that the smoking of our ''Bon Toni
cigars causes no desire to expectorate,
produces no dryness of the palate, no
throbbing Of the temples, and does not
destroy the appetite for food. II smok-
ing is INDUCED in at all, why not smoke
a bon Ton" instead of unknown
brands, which may contain the worst
of goods, and hurtful to the system,
upon which nicotin makes truly fearful,
II the lungs are not powerful enough to
throw off the noxious poison2
The tobacco trade carried on in San
Francisco forms one of Its most active
and prominent interests, and, for a
matter which may fairly be considered
one of luxury rather than of necessity,
1t covers an astonishing extent of COM
mercial area, and finds patronage in a
large proportion of every class in San
Francisco society. The leading tohac-
conis is to-day in the city of the Golden
Gate are the Messrs. j. w. Shaeffer &
Co., patentees of the celebrated s'Green
Seal" cigars, as well as other import
ant facilities for catering to the wants
Of the public in their line.
They take pleasure in announcing
that they have appointed as their sole
agent for Wyoming,

THE RESULT At NOME.

Wyoming, the youngest of the conf
monwealths of the Union, sends greet
ing to her elder sisters, many of whom
re-afirmed, on Tuesday, their allegiance
to the grand old republican party of the
nation, by electing as the successor of
Hon. W. w. Corlett, our present dele
gate, Col. S. W. Downey, q true repub-
lican, an able man and q steadfast
friend of the hardy pioneers of the
West.
Notwithstanding a lavish expenditure
of money and a most desperately fought
campaign, en- the part Of Mr.. Pease, he
has been defeated by Col. Downey by
over six hundred majority In the Terri
tory.
This result is most satisfactory to the
many friends of Col. Downey, and a de-
served compliment to that gentleman,
who fought the good fight almost single
handed, and without the expenditure
Of a dollar.
The LEADER extends congratulations
to the people, and many thanks to the
many Woodworking republicans of Wyo-
ming for achieving so magnificent n
victory.

Indian Affairs More About Agency Con
solicitations.

Correspondence OF the Leader
GREEN RIVER, WYo., Nov. l..
Inspector E. q. Watkins has just
returned from an inspection of Indian.
affairs at the Shoshone agency, near
Camp Brown, and it is understood he
finds that Agent Patten is managing
that agency in the best manner posi-
BILE. The Indians are ut present out
hunting buffalo about n hundred miles
north Of the agency, and the Arapahoes
have killed a great many. The Sho-
shones had killed a few, on account Of
the serious illness Of old Chief Washa-
kie's son, who was not expected to live,
and the Indians considered it bad
medicine to hunt under such circum-
stances. The scouts of that tribe did
not even come in to receive their pay
from the %paymaster for services against
the Bannocks.
The Arapahoes, however, nearly all
came in and were paid of, putting a
considerable sum Of money in circula-
ton in Wind River valley.
The consolidation Of the Lemhi
agency Bannocks with those of Ross
Fork, Idaho, will take place as o as
Ten Dogs band, which is now out
hunting buffalo, kill their winter sup
ply of meat. The consolidation of
these two agencies will save a great
deal of expense to the:.government, and
put the Indians where they can be
easily supplied, If congress votes any
thing for them. The Indians at all
three of these agencies have only had
supplies for about one-third of the year
given them by congress, and they are
compelled to hunt, fight or starve. AS
long as they are permitted to hunt and
exc out their meagre supplies in that
way, all will go on well.
The telegraph line Is about TO be
extended from Camp Stambaugh across
the mountain to Tweed's ranch, which
will be a great convenience for the
people of Wind River valley.
