Operations have been lately begun fol
the purpose of clearing away the mass of
sand which has accumulated during
centuries around the famous statue of the
Sphinx. Brugsch Bey, brother of the
distinguished Psychologist, has charge
of the work, which is being
carried ont according to plan
proposed by signor Maspero, and will, it
is expected, be finished by Easter. The
portion of the statue at present above
ground is about 40 feet. II is supposed
that as much more, at least, is buried in
the sand, and the amount of sand to be
cleared away is estimated at 90 900 cubic
metres. A small tramway is being con.
structed to carry away the mass of sand
to distance, and $50 laborers are en-
ployed on the task When the statue has
been laid bare to the level of the founda-
tions a broad circular walk will be CON
structed around it, and high wall will
be built to guard against future encroach-
ments of the sands of the desert.

CHARLEvoIx, MIcH., Feb. 20.-The ex-
element in the Higgins murder case,
since the discovery of the body in o ma

influence over her husband. Saturday,
February 9Th, Higgins returned from

gone away to stay, but the neighbors,
becoming suspicious, organized a search

body mutilated.

sion to Prosecuting Attorney Hudson,

after his return home, and that the crime
was committed in the house by George
Higgins, the instrument used being a
hammer. The body was taken to the barn
and hid in hay stack till Sunday night,
when they buried it in the manure heap.
Higgins when interviewed by Hudson and
Sheriff Stewart and shown Mrs. Higgins
confession and the hamoner broke down
and corroborated the woman's statement,
adding that his uncle was thrown down,
choked and hammered till dead Threats
of lynching are freely made aud, fearing
an attempt would be made, the prisoner
was removed to Belluire Jail. The coro-
ner returned verdict that Peter Higgins
came to his death at the hands of George
and Mrs. Higgins. Both were bound

quired title to some 35,0n0 acres in the

tween this city and the Rio Grande and are
valuable for grazing as we'll as being first
class agricultural land. The Texas.NIexican
Railroad Company located its subsidy GER
tifcates or land claimed by the defendants
and asked for u writ of mandamus to
have the land surveyed. This brought the
question Fl title to a dire It issue, and every
land holder in the half-dozen counties was
interested, as tho combined grants aggre-
gate an area which beside the famous Cali
fornla Spanish grants arc small in extent.

Experience vs.. InexperIence.

II lisa matter of regret that in intro
ducing Hoods Sarsaparilla, its proprie-
tors are obliged to overcomea certain dis
trust by some people who have unfortu-
nately boughtworthless compounds mixed
bypersons ignorant of pharmacy. Messrs.
@. l. Hood & Co. are reliable pharmacists
of long experience and they make no
claims for Hoods Sarsaparilla which can
not be substantiated by the strongest
proof. And we say to those who lack con-
tidence, read the unsolicited testimonials
in favor of Hoods Sarsaparilla, and then
prove its merits by actual personal test.
We are confident you will not be disap-
pointed, but will find it a medicine of
great value, which can be implicitly re-
lied upon. 100 doses 81.
