A Haunted House.

This body Of ours has been likened TO tene.
n.ent It often has o haunted apartment-the
stomach. scared by the eldrich sprite, dyspep-
sis, digestion flies and refuses to return. What
can break the SPELL what can raise the ban laid
upon the unhappy organs? We answer unhes-
itatingiy, Hoststter's stomach Bitters, and We
are warranted in the response by the recorded
testimony Of myriads, covering period Of over
o third OF o century. A course Of the Bitters.
begun in any stage Of tho affiiction, and per-
sistently followed, will terminate In cure posi-
tive, not partial. The Bitters restores tone to
the epigastric nerve, ::renews and purifies the
Juices exuding nom the cellular tissue that act
stomach and blood, and promotes q regular
habit OF body. Malaria, kidney complaint, ner-
vousness, rheumatism and neuralgia give way
TO this medicine. fec5t0l3

The question was submitted the Collectors at tho

INCREASE OF MONEY IN CIRCULATION.
SOME FACTS THAT WILL APPEAR IN THE RE
PORT OF SECRETARY WINDOW.

Washington, Now 2s.-The forthcoming report of
the Secretary of the Treasury will contain several
tabulaed statements showing as nearly as Is possible
the exact amounts OF the various kinds Of money In
actual circulation among the people at several DIFF
ferent periods from 1870 to the present time. From
these tables II is shown that during the twenty
wears from october l. 1870, to october I, 1890, tho
total increase Of circulation 1927 100000
making an average increase per month OF S3,O32,-
1885, and an increase per capita of $b00-the total
circulation per capita in 1870 being $40 o., and In
1890 Sa3 90. During the last ten years the average
monthly increase S30G6902, and the increase
pcr capita $3 90 For the period Of nineteen months
from March H. 1885, to october l. 1900, the aggregate
increase of circulation among the people was To3
sGG,sI3 making average monthly increase OF
~ 9iO35S, and increase per capita OF about III 90
while for the corresponding period from March L.
1885, TO October l. 1856, the aggregate Increase IN
circulation 52 $50 ABB and the average monthly
decrease was ~ $50 800 making total difference In
favor of the last nineteen months OF over $1,000
900 per month
For the period of three months from July l 10 Oc-
tOber l. 1890 the aggregate increase In actual use
among the people was $6S.3o4 DOB making an aV
erigc monthly Increase Of $22, IS4,l1s IL Is stat:u
that the large increase since March A. 1882 Il mainly
due to the present policy of keeping the surplus a. low
as possible by the purchase and redemption OF DOnds,
thereby saving interest and restoring the money To
circulation: while the large decrease IN circulation Tor
the corresponding period from March a. 1883, To
october /, 1856, was due TO the opposite policy.

APPARENT DECREASE IN THE MILITIA.


STRENGTHENING OF THE CAVALRY BRANCH
URGED-A PROPOSED HORSE CENSUS.
Washington, Now 2s-Captain d. NJ. Taylor, Ord
nance Department, who is charged with the SUPER
vision of supplies issued the militia says in his an
nual report the Secretary of War, that the Increased
interest in militia affairs caused by the passage OF the
of February IL, 1887, has not been maintained, 50
far as numbers show. The militia force February l.
1890 was 1903 202, as against 1O6,506 in February.
1889; but this apparent decrease Is, 1t Is tnougnt,
deceptive, owing to lack of reports from some states
known to possess organized militia. Florida,
Louisiana, Mississippi Dakota and Washington. which
unaccOunted for in the report are known to have
GIT militia, which would make total for 1890 OF
1O9, 400, or an increase of 1868 in one year.
Captain Taylor combas at some length the idea thas
the existing balances to the credit Of the militia fund Of
certain states is evidence that they need more
money than is at present given Them While the bal
ance In favor of New York seems large IL must be re-
membered that she has $4,000 men her rolls, and
that to meet sudden call for equipment the
balance would be extremely small. The New-iork in-
fanty is also armed with weapon inferior to tho
Springfield rifle, and is delaying rearmament until
the Government shall have decided upon new regular
infantry rifle, when large balance will be needed
Therefore Captain Taylor strongly urges the passage
by Congress Of the pending bill to promote the efficiency
Of the militia.
