Sneak Thieves.

There are sneak thieves around.
The BULLETIN office has been robbed
during the past week of several ar
ticles, including some gold quartz
specimens. One was piece of white
quartz about the size of a big walnut,
with a spot of gold as big as dime
in it. We will pay so for informa-
ton sufficient to convict the thief.

FROM THE CAPE TO CAIRO.

How II Is Proposed to Garry "A Telegraph
Line Across the African Continent.
The business partner of one of the
directors of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the cape
to Cairo has given the Pail Mall Ca
zette some interesting Information.
Capital has been subscribed to the cx-
tent of seven hundred thousand dol
lars, which is considered sufficient to
carry the line as far as Uganda. The
materials are now being ordered in
London and will be shipped shortly.
The poles are to be of iron of light con-
struction, in order to outmaneuver the
white ants, who would cat away wood
en- poles. From Salisbury the line is
to be carried to Tete, on the Zambcsi,
and from thence to Blantyre. There
Consul Johnston will report the result
of his surveys as to the best manner of
proceeding on to Uganda, and the con
structing party will have to come to
terms with the natives and Arabs by
substituting the chiefs and others of in
fluence. There will be nothing in the
way of impenetrable underqrowths or
rank vegetation to contend with. 3 the
line will avoid the low country and
keep to the high plateau the entire dis
lance. There are two alternative
routes for the conveyance OF the ma
terials. There is good transport from
the Transvaal to Fort Salisbury, or a
shorter route would be adopted if ma
terials were shipped direct to Beira,
carried along the railway noEy being

veyed the rest of the distance by OK

It has taken just seventeen years TO
convert Persia into a nation of cigar
cite smokers. Before that time cigar
cites in the dominions of the shah
were unknown, all the tobacco smok-
ing being by Italians or hubble
bubbles and chibouEs, or long wood
en- pipes with long clay bowls. But it
happened that about 1876 somebody in
troduced from Turkey the variety
known as cigarette tobacco" into
Gillian, whence it's use has spread.
Now so general is the practice that
even the lowest peasant in Persia goes
about with cigarette case and makes
his own smokes"

The Druggists

In Lowell, Mass, agree in saying that they
sell more of Hoods sarsaparilla than of all
other blood purifiers. For instance:
f. C. GooDALE: sell more of Hoods Sarsa-
parlla than all other blood purifiers.
A. W. Dows & Co.: Hoods takes the lead
OF all other sarsaparillas.
c. F. BLANCHARD: We sell moro of Hoods
Sarsaparilla than of any similar.
MARsroN & SHAW: With US the sale of
Hoods is 9 to of any other kind.
F. & E. BAILEY & Co.: Hoods sarsaparilla
is one OF the bes, medicines
CARLTON & HovEY: Hoods sarsaparilla is
one of the best medicines we have. Its sale
increases every year.
f. p MOODY: We sell twice as much Of
Hoods sarsaparilla as of anything similar.
C. A. SWAN: Hoods is the most popular
sarsaparilla of the day
THIRTY OTHER druggists speak similarly.
This popularity at home, where Hoods
sarsaparilla and its proprietors have been
known for many years, could not continue II
the medicine did not possess merit And
these facts should certainly convince people
In other sections of the country that Hoods
sarsaparilla is good. reliable medicine.

The Rock Island Plow company has
adopted new method Of providing
insurance for its men against casual
ity. Each month one per cent of
each mans wages is retained by the
company. and placed in the hands of
the American Casualty Insurance
company. which the pillow company
acts n agent for. In return circulars
insuring the men to the extent of
800 are placed in their hands.
According to these the men are en-
titled TO protection. in ease of acct
dent while in the company's employ.
amounting to from - 10 40 per cent
of their wages. according to the ma
turc of their INJURIES. together with
doctors bills. while in case of death
resulting. not only a certain per cent
of the wages is paid to benefciaries.
but doctdFs expenses while sick and
funeral expenses after death.
II seems To ne simple and
economical, way of extending to the
men reasonable amount of casualty
and life insurance.

hour Of the morning has closed, the 60
called morning hour" Of the senate
and house tegins.
When the ball drops at meridian on
the doI1e of the observatory, when the
whistles sound and the bells ring
throughout the city, and the worlkmen
everywhere begin to rattle their
dinner pals, the hands of the electric
clocks at the capitol spring straight to
the hour of twelve. picking up q
moment of lost time or dropping a
moment they have marked too soon.
Then the speakers gavcl falls and it is
time for morning prayer. High noon is
the hour of hours in this marble temple
Of law and order. All the capitol
clocks must mark that time punctually,
il no other hour in the day. and all the
bells must strike in unison. At noon
congress has its birth and at noon il
expires It is only on extraordinary
occasions, like the present, when con-
gress is hardly its natural self, that it
meets from day to day at any other
hour. All committees, unless they
have received some special dispense
ton, cease to have power to act as
committees when the clock on the
mantel strikes twelve. Action taken
after that would have no binding force.
Therefore, the official clock, whose
statement as to the hour cannot tc dis
puted, is on the mantel in each Of the
scores of committee rooms.
The clock enters very largely into
legislative business. Besides starting
the house and senate on their daily
course and ending the powers Of COM
mittees, it measures of the allotted
portions Of time for bills whose fate de-
ponds upon the use Of the moments to
its credit, and it cuts congressional elo.
cuencc into sections varying in length
from one minute to sixty.
The senate clock. the very one which
Capt Bassett turned back on March Z,
1874. stands now in the senate corridor
in a corner where it seems lonely and
bashfuL- 1t deserves better treatment
It is an GldAime wooden clock about
eight feet high and was evidently built
to last for all time. It is rs substantial
