Say some dealers who try to sell a sub
stitute preparation when a customer
calls for Hoods Sarsaparilla. Do not
allow any such false statementsas as this
induce you to buy what you do not
want, Remember that the only
reason for doing this that few cents
more profit will be made on the sub
stitute. Insist upon having the best
medicine-Hood's Sarsaparillal It Is
Peculiar to Itself.

BoNpHoLpERs AND THE DEBT.

A cablegram to tho effect that tho Virginia
bondholders bad determined not to accept the
debt settlement recently agreed upon between
tho State Debt Commission and the Olcott
committee has caused some talk. but nothing
Of a sensation. A meeting of the ~bondholders
is to be held on the 18th instant, and nothing
definite will be determined before that time.
In making up their minds on this subject
the foreign bondholders should consider one
very important matter. and that is that If
the State promptly ratifes this agreement
and they refuse it the State will be placed
before the world in O very different attitude
from that she previously occupied.
Then she was looked upon as having
said to her creditors: II owe you a certain
amount Of money. but ] will pay YOU only
such part Of 1t as | choose Now, she would
be regarded as having conferred with duly
accredited representatives of her creditors and
having accepted a plan of settlement which
they. after a thorough review of the whole
situation. offered her. She will
thus occupy the position before the
world of having done the best she could and
Of having shown an earnest desire TO pay her
creditors what their own representatives
deemed Just and equitable.
1t is plain. therefore, that the best thing
which both the State and the bondholders can
do is to rstify this agreement with as little
delay as possible.

how much still was 10 be raised. lie OK
planned that each one of the thirteen granite
Olocks OF the pillar was 10 be paid for by

10 lay all such measures over, before final nc
ton was taken, 10 give every member of the
committee an opportunity 20 make himself
FAMILIAR with the measure. He did not doubt
that every member would vote for the annro-
priation. but in the interest of tie absentees
on his motion final action was POSTPONED nm

There Is hardly any doubt that the commit
tee VIII favor the appropriation. and that at

port a bill TO the House providing FOR the an
preparation called for.

Ii is now reported that Speaker Crisp vii,
not offer Mr.. Mills the chairmanship of the
Committee on Ways and Means. The reason
assigned for this departure from what has
become to be looked upon as a settled rule of
courtesy-to offer to a successful Speakers
principal opponent in caucus the leading
position IN the House-is that Mr.. Mills has
been very sulky since the contest. and has
himself refused to accept the result in good

lowed us to go through the stamp mill,
as well as the mines, which proved ex-
ceedingly interesting. The Treadwell
Company owns mountain composed
entirely of gold ore, and this is honey
conibed with drifts or tunnels leading to
central quarry, where Indians are busily
engaged chipping away the rock and
throwing it down chute into cars, which
carry it to the mill, where it is crushed
under heavy stamps. There are $50
stamps in continual operation, making
the largest stamp mill in the world, and
the din is so terrific that one can hardly
hear himself think, and conversation is
only carried on IN pantomime.
The crushed ore is mixed with water
and passes over long copper plates,
covered with mercury, which collects
tie golden grains. This amalgam is
syraped away at intervals and the plates
recovered for a new supply. The water
