BANK BILLS IN CAR WHEELS.
Currency MRcernted AT the National
Treasury l. Used by the Car
Builders.

II is the commonly accepted be-
lief that the old currency redeemed
at the treasury department is abso-
lutely destroyed. Such, however. is
not the case. A single wheel of a
locomotive represents many millions
of what was once good paper cur
rency. From a bank note to a car
wheel is quite radical transforms

become a supporting atom in the re-
volving mass is the ultimate fate OF

from the manufacturers.
Tie destruction of soiled paper
currency goes on daily and Is in
charge of three treasury employees,
who represent respectively the Sec
rotary of the treasury, the treasurer
Of the United States and the comp
trrller of the currency. Bundles OF
the cancelled notes are dumped into
the big macerators and crushed into
puttylike mass. The pulp is then
treated with an alkali, which ex-
tracts the ink. the stuff is dried

A BIG HOTEL BILL.
one bridegroom who Thought Ex-

Matrimony sometimes comes high,
but that cuts no ice with the man who
once gets the marriage mierobe, as big
as a river shrimp, in his veins. And
the older the victim is when the dis
ease fastens its fangs in his system
the less he cares for expenses, and he
will spend his last dollar as II it were
a withered leaf and he owned whole
forests of fall frost-touched trees.
Every one knows this peculiar weak.
ness of the newly-married man, and
he is looked upon as easy money. To
get his bank roll is like taking candy

his friend the best. in the house was

The couple remained at the hotel
two days, and then the bridegroom

his young wife came near being
widow.
The bill was for the modest sum OF
$4,000, and bore the businesslike in.
scription: "Please settle" Making an
excuse to get away from the desk. the
benedict hastily sought friend and
asked his advice. "Send your check
for the amount" was the advice he
received. Thinking that any fool
friend could have given that kind of
advice, the man went away back and
sat down to think the matter over.
ihally IL daWned upon him that the
bill was a hoax, and, taking his
friends advice, he wrote a check on
an imaginary bank and sent it to the
landlord, who then sent him the re.

The whole transaction was like buy.

But the man nearly dropped dead
when he first got the bill, and now he
says that the next bridal trip he takes
he will either make a written contract
with al hotel men or take out an ac.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Saves a Former Member of the
Indiana Legislature.
This is the Season TO Use the
Great Medicine if You Would
Danish the Seeds of Disease
from the System.

On every hand we see men and women
who at this season should be active, hale
and strong, losing flesh and weight, look
ing pale and languid We hear them COM
plain of weakness, pain in the chest, back
ache and sideache. Their friends note
with alarm the pale cheeks and sunken
eyes; the color Of the skin gives evidence
of blood impurities.
All reader, these are all indications
that the deadly dregs Of grippe have per-
meated the whole system, distributing
poisons and impurities in blood and it's
sues.
Act at once with wisdom and decisions
YOU cannot afford to lose precious time
experimenting with medicines that have
no reputation, that have no positive VIC
tories to their credit.
Heaven help you to use the life saver
that rescued and saved Mr., Stephenson.
While in a perilous condition Of health,
Providence truly directed Mr. Stephenson
TO make use Of Paine's Celery Compound.
The first bottle produced a marvellous and
happy effect; his life blood was being
freshened and enriched; his appetite was
improved; strength was taking the place
OF weakness, and the ruddy tinge OF health
was apparent in the once pale face. Mr.
ID. Il. Stephenson Of Pilot Knob, Ind,
writes as follows:-
ssSome years ago while serving as a
member Of the Indiana Legislature, ! con-
tracted a severe case OF grippe, and was
run down and completely out sorts,
and found but little relief from any rem
edy until tried Paine's Celery Compound.
The first bottle did me wonderful and
marked good, and its continued use for a
short time, restored me to my usual vigor
and freshness. Your Paine's Celery Com
pound has been used by my family since
then for general prostration of the system,
with the most gratifying results. Paine's
Celery Compound is a great quieter and
restorer OF the nerves to their normal con-
dition; indeed, its action on the nerves
and nerve centres has been most crafty
ing in my case"

MINE PAYS CITY's BILLS.
The Municipality of BAKER, Wash,
Owns Profitable Deposit
of Gold Ore.

The town of Baker City, Wash, is

palities, for it is the owner of a wa
ter system which is a veritable gold
mine. About a year ago the city au.
thorities issued bonds to the amount
of 100000 and established a gravity
water system to supply the city from
Elk creek, ten miles away in the
mountains. After the new system
was nearly completed il was dis.
covered this summer that the flow
of water was not sufficient to meet
the demands of the city and the
council issued more bonds and pur.
chased the celebrated Auburn ditch,
which brings a large supply of wa.
ter from the mountains TO point
about eight miles from the city. The
water is excellent, there is plenty Of
it and it will soon be connected with
the main water system, says a local
informant.

MCGOWAN Cases Settled.

The reunion of Mr.. and Mrs. John
MCGOWAN, through their marriage be-
fore Alderman Howe in Scranton on
Saturday last. was the means of wiping
out of the three cases against Nc
Gowan, which We're marked for trial in
criminal court yesterday.
When the cases We're called, in all of
which Mrs. MCGOWAN would have to
appear against her husband to serious
ly accuse him, it was announced to
Judge Edwards that the couple We're
now reunited and seemingly forgetful
of those happenings. When it was
further represented to the court that
Mrs. MCGOWAN had no intention to
appear now, the cases We're marked
mol PROSE- and the costs placed on the
county.
In disposing of the matter, Judge
Edwards took occasion to pay COM
pliment to Constable Edward Neary, of
this city, for his promptness in having
his cases ready for trial when called,
and Of his good Judgment in disposins
of cases when the ends of justice might
be served without going to the expense
and delay of trial.
In explanation it might be mentioned
that the prosecution OF the cases rested
largely with the constable. He appre-
ciated the circumstances, however, and
urged the disposition of the cases that
was afterwards made by the court.

1t was IL most felicitous event, and it
