strange Clew to Thief.

Burlington, Ia, Aug. 29.-Mark Twain's
theory, as expressed in his novel ''Pud-
d'nhead Wilson," is being tried by the
railroad and express authorities, who are
trying to locate the person who stole 500
900 from package on the road from
Chicago to Burlington few days ago.
The thief left the imprint of his thumb
on the duplicate package, and every man
who had the handling of it, from Cashier
Talbert of the Commercial bank and Vice
President J. w. Brooks of the local bank
to the humbest employee of the express
and railroad companies, has had to have
an impression of his thumbs taken in
way

United States did not take vital interest
in a canal uniting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans The disposition was TO let the
West coast develop Itself, and TO favor the
