there to be used in government dis
bursements. OF this, $15,6S0, 900 was in
paper, $40, 100000 in gold, and the re-
mainder in silver and minor coin. There
is no record to show what has been
returned.
The interest bearing debt outstand-
ing at the close of business, June 30,
1902. was 1891. O70.340.
The amount of money in circulation
Nov. 1, 1902, was $2.33G, 1892, and the
per capita circulation was $29.36.
lnere arrived at pOFtS Oh the OnlCeu
States during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1902. 64S,743 aliens as Storage
passengers. and S2.055 as cabin pas
sengers. aggregating a total alien i'm
migration of 73e79S. This total. how
ever, does not include all the alien
arrivals during the period named. as
no record is kept of those coming from
Mexico and Canada. except such as
have come from the last-named coun-
try within one year after arrival
therein from some transoceanic port.
During the year smallpox was re-
ported as occurring in forty-four states

Der of cases reported for the year end

deaths during the year ended June 30.
1901.
Speaking Of the need Of additional
currency circulation, the Secretary
says:
Il see no objection to the issuance of
circulation based upon general credits,
IL properly safeguarded. Neither do I
believe it necessary to make currency
thus issued first lien upon assets. A
very small tax upon circulation would
be sufficient to cover any possible loss.
The Government Actuary has demon
strated that a tax of one-eighth of 1
per cent. upon circulation would have
covered all loss from the beginning of
our national banking system to the
present time, had each bank main
tanned its limit of circulation.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Practically the
whole policy of the Postoffice Depart

forms, is involved in three decisions
rendered to-day by the District Court
of Appeals. In two of the cases the
decisions are against the Postoffice De-

be appealed to the United States Su-
preme Court, pending whose final ac-

been excluded from the second class
privileges, probably will remain in
suspension.
The two cases decioed adversely to
the government are those of the Ma

Courts opinion in the Railway Publi-

not committed to the Postmaster Gene

Chicago's Land Claimant Gets N
Term In the enitentiary.
Chicago, Dec. S.-George w. Streeter,
whose long fight for filled in land on
the Lake Front makes a curious chap
ter in Chicago history, was to-day
found guilty of manslaughter, and pun
ishment was fixed at Imprisonment in
the penitentiary.
Henry Hoeldke and William McMan-
ners, members of Streeter's squat
ter" colony on filled-in land, were also
found guilty of manslaughter and sim
liar penalties ordered, clemency, how
ever, being recommended for Hoeldke.
The defendants were charged with
the murder of John $. Kirk. a guard
employed by interests contesting
Streeter's right to the land. Kirk was
shot in a fight between Streeter's
forces and the opposition guards last
February
Streeter, some years ago, claiming
that the dump" then covering several
acres and valued at millions of dol
lars, was not on the map, set up a
government on the land and called il
the District of Lake Michigan"
Streeter's claim was based on the fact
that his boat foundered there twenty
years ago, and that he continued to
live there as a squatter on new land.

A CAUSE OF HEADACHE,
One Very Common Cause, Generally
Overlooked.

Headache is symptom, an indica-
ton OF arrangement or disease in some
organ, and the cause Of the headache
is difficult to locate because SO many
diseases have headache as prominent
symptom; arrangement of the stom-
ach and liver, heart trouble kidney
disease, lung trouble, eye strain or III
hitting glasses all produce headaches,
and if we could always locate the or
gan which is at fault the cure Of OBJ
stinate headaches would be a much
simpler matter.
However, for that form of headache
called frontal headache pain back of
the eyes and in forehead, the cause is
now known to be ca tarrh of the head,
and throat. when the headache is loca-
ted in back of head and neck 1t is oft
en- caused from catarrh of the stomach
or liver.
At any rate catarrh is the most com
mon cause of such headaches and the
cure of the catarrh causes a prompt
disappearance of the headaches.

catarrh so convenient and effective as
