During the civil war, as well as in our
late wal with Spain, diarrhoea was one
of the most troublesome diseases the
army had to contend with. In many in
stances it became chronic and the old
soldiers still suffer from it. MI. David
TAYLOR of Wind Ridge, Greene County,
Pa. is one of these. He uses Chamber
Iain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and says he never found any
thing that would give him such quick
relief. 1t is for sale everywhere. Bob

DIMES AND CENTS.
Greatly Increased Demand
for Fractional Currency.
AVERAGE 100000 DAY.

Washington, Sept 5.-Dimes, quar-
tiers and half dollars are being turned
out by all the mints as rapidly as they
can be produced, said an officer in the
treasury. 1.-The demand for fractional
currency and silver dollars being I'M
precedented. The requests do not
come from one section of the country,
but from every section. AS fast as the
coin can be minted it is shipped to
/ those who have called for it. Usually
the demand for this sort of currency
does not begin until the autumn, but
this year orders for large quantities
! have been coming in for more than
four weeks 1t is estimated that the
| orders received at the treasury depart
nlent will average over 500, 900 in frac-
tiona1 currency day"
An order issued to the California
mint on August 1, he said. to turn out
S15O,oOO worth of dimes, quarters and
halves a month until further notice,
| only for the use of the Pacific coast.
Another thing mentioned by Treasurer
Roberts was the increased demand fer
pennies in the west and south where
but comparatively few of these coins
have previously been used. He attrle-
uted the increased use of pennies to
the war revenue tax which requires
the use of internal revenue stamps on

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU
Over $500 Persons Get Work Through
State Agencies in Chicago.

Springfield. H., Sept 6.-The super
intendents of the three free employ
ment bureau offices on the north, south
and west sides, Chicago, will meet in
Springfield Friday afternoon with Gov
ernor Tanner, Secretary of State Rose,
Auditor McCulloch and David Ross,
secretary of the state board of labor.
The work of the bureaus has exceed
ed by far the anticipation of every
body, and the help provided by law is
now inadequate for meeting the de-
mand. The object of the conference,
which will be held in the executive Of
fee, will be to devise some means to
provide additional facilities fer hand
ling the business of the offices.
According to the reports of the three
bureaus in Chicago, 2,361 persons have
been furnished employment, and it is
figured that about $1,000 was saved
the people who have formerly patron
lied the employment agencies of Chi
cago.
David Ross, secretary of the labor
bureau of the state, has now secured
the names of $50 agencies that are be-
ing conducted in Chicago, only three of
which have paid the $500 license
Steps will be taken in few days to
prosecute the promoters of the agencies
who have violated the law, and who

Topeka, Kan, Sept. Now that
the Twentieth Kansas regiment is on
its way home, Governor Stanley will
today call a meeting of the committee
appointed by him recently to arrange
for q reception to take place immedi-
ately. The Santa Fe railroad has
agreed to bring the regiment from San
Francisco and wait until the next Bes-
sion of the legislature for it's pay. 1t
was the original intentio of the gov
ernor to divide up the transportation
of the troops among the four principal
railroads. The Santa Fe is the only
company that has line to Frisco.
| The others would have to pay such
! heavy tribute to the Southern Pacific
that they announced that it would be
| entirely satisfactory to them to let the
| Santa Fe have all the business.
The regiment will reach Frisco
about October 5. It will then take
about ten days or two weeks to muster
it out. The muster out rolls will all
be prepared on the voyage, and about
the only thing left to do at Frisco is
for the volunteers to undergo q physi-
cal examination. This will enable the
regiment to reach home about October
| 20. The reception will be held at To-
peka, and the various railroads will
grant excursion rates from all parts of
the state. It is likely that Governor
Stanley and other officials will GO to
Frisco and return with the regiment.
