ble at the new capitol building. They
 are wrong, however, as the bill failed
 to pass and the day is whatever the
 employer and employe may agTe
 upon. In like mann@r many have had
 an idea that because congress approved
 of the bill providing for the erection of
 the capitol building the national gov
 ernment stood good for the bonds. It
 does nothing of the kind. This being Q territory limited by United States
 laws from incurring indebtedness
 above a certain amount, congress sim
 ply said that the territory might in
 this instance exceed that amount It
 was as if a guardian approved of eX-

 MAY THROW A BOMB. Tho
  gently occasioned considerable com ment on the streets. The man .has q habit of walking beat daily and has been doing this for two years Regu- larly at a. m.' he commences the walk and thence with an occasional rest, | until o'clock in the evening. He starts from the corner of Washington and i Second streets and walks to the corner of Washington street and First av- enue, where he crosses to the opposite side of the street and returns 10 his starting place. He has two resting places, one at the curbsitOne opposite the drug store of E. s. Wakelin, and the other, a sitting place on the wooden | Indian Of Drachmans cigar store. | Whether at the latter spot he holds ] purpose of telling his troubles $ q matter for speculation. His actions are i by the fact that they are i precise. He frequently consults his ] watch while resting and apparently at i some appointed time he arises and i stretches himself at full length. Pres 1 ently he will be seen to start off ab- l ruptly and his pace is gradually rGend- l ed.
