on Monday of next week Capt.
Aultman of the regular army and
Brigadier General Hoyt, inspector gen.
eral of the National Guard of Maine,
will begin their inspection of the COM
panieS of the State militia, in accord
ance with arrangements made a few
weeks ago. This work is done for the
purposes of carrying out the provisions
of the new militia bill, known as the
Dick BILL which Congress has recently
passed. In carrying out the require
ments of this bill, the war department
desires to impose no unnecessary hard
ship on citizen soldiers, and to this end
desires to obtain the views of not only
high officers of the guard, but of the
company officers as well, in order that
there shall be thorough understand
ing of the conditions of the bill. Prac-
teal opinions and suggestions concern
ing its requirements on various mat
tiers are desired and officers of the
army detailed to inspect will be pro-
vided with quite lengthy list of ques-
TONS
Among other heterogeneous will be
the following:

into the service of the United States.
to serve for a period that may reach
nine months, and that, if they refuse
or neglect to do so when called upon,
they may be tried by court martial
and punished?
DO you regard this organization as
sufficiently armed and equipped for
active duty in the field to warrant the
secretary of war to pay to the quar-
termaster general, or other officer of
the militia, so much of it's allotment
out of the annual appropriation under
section 1861, r. S., as amended, as
shall be necessary for the payment

Cot f. c. Stevens, superintendent of
public buildings. is considering the
probability that he will be able to
make some marked changes in Repre-
sentatiVcs' hall before the meeting of
the Legislature Of 1905. Although no
appropriation has been made for the
purpose he believes he will be enabled
to save sufficient funds for the purpose
from the regular appropriation for
furniture and repairs.
The plan which he is considering is
to have the seats of members rear
ranged and to have each seat separate
instead Of in pairs as now. The seats
will he set in semi-crcles and all the
aisles but one in the center of the hall
viii be closed up. This change will al
low members much more room than
they have at present, and n great deal
more spacc Will be secured in front
of the clerks desk. The distance from
this desk to the first seat in the centre
will be Is feet. Everybody knows how
crowded the floor is whenever any de
bate of special interest is on.
Then he PROPOSES to enlarge the gal
lcrics by building n projection extend
ing a few feet into the hall, over
hanging the north and south sides of
the room.
Another improvement is to build a
gallery for the reporters directly above
and to the rear Of the Speakers desk
in the arch there located and extending
a couple Of feet over the lobby in the
rear of the hall. This gallery will be
sufficiently large to accommodate eight
or 10 persons. Entrances will be made
from the balconies between the second
land third floors.
Colonel Stevens believes these impor-
tant changes can be made with a small
outlay Of money, while the benefit to be
derived will be of great value in adding
to the convenience of members in the
transaction of their business.

 The White River road is preparing to gravel ballast the whole line from from Batesville to Cotter, and they will put steam shovel on this week and open up two gravel pits above.

 The lecture on 'sThe Moors In Spain," to be given by Dean Robot tom of Little Rock in Newport Friday night, will be held at the opera house. Musical numbers by Mesdames G. A.

The lecture is for the benefit of St. Paul's (Episco- paD church and will go toward the building fund. Admission, 25 cents. The steamboat excursion Saturday was not as we'll attended as it would have been had the weather been warmer, and had our business men and fruit growers been able to attend. They were all very busy on account of the strawberry season. A good cover was over the barge, and seats around it. A colored string band from New port furnished the music. There were several from neighboring towns in attendance, and all who went re- port fine time. Altogether it was a success, both socially and financially. Capt. Goodrich will probably give an- other excursion when it gets warmer and everyone is not so busy.-Jud- sonia Advance.

health again by taking Wine of Cardui. As regulator of the menstrual periods Wine of Cardui has never been known to fail. It has seldom failed to restore perfect health, even in the most persis- tent and aggravated case of weakness.
 Miss Ida M. Snyder, of No. 535 Ber- gen Street, Brooklyn, N. Y., has used Wine of Cardui and she says it helped her into new life. Health to Miss Snyder is worth great deal. She is an attractive young woman with intel lectual attainments and she occupies the position of Treasurer of the Brook lyn East End Art Club. This position marks her as person of intellect, cul- ture and refinement and it speaks highly of the respect and trust her fellow women have in her. She writes:

THOUSAND-DOLLAR BILLS.

Thousand dollar bills are very arr istocratic in their habits. They may be said to be exclusive.
 They do not associate with ordinary people and in the daily walks of life and avenues of trade they are con- spicuous for their absence. Some people never saw a $1, 1000 bill. Others never will.
 If they do, they will get arrested.
 A Missouri editor got hold of a thousand dollar bill few weeks ago.
 {. It made him famous.
 He said he would explain at the proper time.
 The officers of the law are interest ed in his case, and the grand jury is anxious to hear him talk.
 The theory is that an editor and a thousand dollars cannot associate with each other, and avoid suspicion. Mainly for the reason that such things have hitherto been unheard of in this country; according to the traditions of which an editor is not entitled to keep such company. This we believe is popular error. But we cannot explode the theory. But let that pass.
 Thousand dollar bills have been at tracting good deal of press com ments recently. A few weeks ago a man or an "angel," more likely an "angel," dropped a thousand dollar bill in palace car. A colored porter picked up this bill and turned it over to the Palace Car Company. Honest darkey.
 The company published the fact tha, the bill had been lost and five persons called to claim it at once.
 This showed that five $1,OO0 bills had been lost. Not only that, bat they had been lost on one palace car. It was surprise and people began to wonder what was the per capita cir culation of S1 ,000 bills, anyway.
 Hardly had the palace car incident subsided before $1 ,O0O bills begun to mix up with the Missouri legislature. In certain quarters they fell like au- tumn leaves in the laps of those who were on the lookout for something of the kind to drop.
 The result was scandal, the worst of which is not yet known, and poor old Missouri is now washing her dirty money betore ths eyes of an aston ished and indignant people.
 These occurrences have naturally excited some curiosity among the people concerning $1,O00 bills, which we are glad the enterprise of 8 con- temporary enables us at this time to gratify.
 The riot of the big bills induced a man who is fond of statistics to as certain just how many notes of such large denominations there are in the United States.
 From figures compiled by the treas ury department it appears that there was outstanding in the month of Jan uary of the present year $26, ,035, 1000 ill notes of S1, ,000 denomination.
 Of the treasury gotes of 1890, $564,- 900 was outstanding in $1 1000 bills; $25,000 was outstanding in national bank notes in such bills; S46, ,735, ,500 in gold certificates, and S156,000 in silves certificates, making the grand total S73,515,5 800. This would seem to prove that there were outstanding, accord ing to the treasuary estimates on Jan uary a1 last, 73.515 1-2 Si,o00 bills Memphis News.

lords Black-Draught, and SO l took it and have every reason to thank him for a new life opened up to me with restored health, and 1t only took three months to cure me-"
 You may secure the same relief as Miss Snyder, if you take Wine of Cardui as she took it. Thedford's Black Draught is the companion medicine of Wine of Cardui and it is a liver and bowel regulator which assists greatly in effecting cure. If you take these medicines according to directions, the relief and cure is simple. Some cases are cured quickly and others take longer because the disease has run longer. Remember how Miss Snyder took Wine of Cardui and has health. The same medicines are offered you to-day.
