Reusnue and currency.

Chicago Chronicles: Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw in his annual report
speaks of the decrease OF $25,00O,OOO In
the cusoms receipts for the iast Hscal
year as compared with 1905 and The
continued decrease during the early
months Of the year. In the opinion of
the secretary the decrease was due
rather TO special and abnormal condi-
than to Industrial and trade de-
pression. There has recently been an
increase in receipts and the secretary
sees no reason to believe that the rev
enues from this source viii be less dur
ing the current fiscal year than they
were. in 1904.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
receipts must be expected 10 fall be-
low those of 1893 because of the aboli-
ton of the revenue duty on tea and
the countervailing duty on uga and
because of the reciprocity treaty with
Cuba.
Mr.. Shaw repeats what he said in his
report OF last year in reeard to our
bank note currency-that it does not
respond to the varying needs of
seasons or of localities or OF changing
conditions OF business"
This is obviously true, but Mr.. Shaw
does not propose any rash measures
for imparting elasticity. Co our ma
tional bank circulation. He declares
emphatically that no measure should
be considered which would weaken the
currency by providing for the issue OF
anything less safe and secure than the
note circulation we now have.
Needing his warning against an ac-
lions liable to impair the excellence of
the currency, congress win not be hasty
in adopting any of the plans hat have
been offered for Importing elasticity"
to any part of our paper circulation.
1t is doubtful, to say the least, whether
any of them is workable. and whether
the probability of success in any case
would not be greatly overbalanced by
the danger Of seriously impairing the
quality of our credit currency.

IMMIGRATION TO
 NORTHEAST ARKANSAS.
Poins ett County Securing a Vast Tl1Y of Homeseekers Land Increasing in Value as
 a Result

''The immigration flowing into Poinsett and other counties in northeast Arkansas is greater than the outside public imag-' ines," said a visitor from that section recently to a reporter for the Little Rock Gazette. "The town of Harrisburg is a beehive of industry. With building operations and with the activity due to the coming of prospectors, lands have greatly increased in value in the last few years, but are still easily within reach of those looking for desirable abid- ing places where they may secure adequate returns for the labor they perform.
 ''As a rule the old settler who sells his farm for a good price does not pick up and leave the country, or if he does he almost invariably comes back and settles down in dear old Arkansas again. But to return to the newcomers, they are for the most part from Illinois. Michioan and other old states and they come south prin- cipally because they have tired of the long and severe winters north.
 'If there could be any way of accurately computing the invest ments made in Poinsett county lands alone in the last year it would make a great showing. l make the prediction that the as- sessed valuation of property in Arkansas this year will show an increase of fully 10 per cent, which would send it up to S275,- 900, ,OO0, and this will represent only a small part of the enhanced value of lands, the additional inn provements in the way of build ings and the added personal prop erty in the way of watches, pi- amos, etc. Of this increase Poinsett county alone will fur nish more than it's pro rata share. The immigration we are getting 1 is of that high class which inn mediately adds to the taxable wealth of county in that the immigrants buy and improve their property and induce other immigrants to come."

BAD HEALTH.

 Calls. These Bring on the
 Deadly Bright's Disease.
Thousands Die of it Every Year.

Kidney disease is the enemy we have most to fear as a result of the feverish of modern civilization. It is a treacherous enemy, working out its deadly effect under cover of the most trihing symptoms. The first indication of changes ill the urine, frequent head aches, digestive troubles, should be the signal for prompt remedial measures. Prickly Ash Bitters is kidney remedy of the greatest merit; it is soothing, healing and strengthening, quickly re- lieves the aching or soreness that always appears in advanced stages, checks the progress of the disease and through its excellent cleansing and regulating effect in the stomach, liver and bowels, 1t brings back the strength and ruddy glow of vigorous health.

 Which Has Just Been
 Completed.
LOOK INTO COMPLAINTS

Ensley, September 5.-(Special.)- 1.-The city council will meet in regular session at the city hall Thursday night and bus mess of importance will be disposed of.
 The streets and lights committee which was instructed at the last regular meet ing of the council to investigate the com plaint that the contract with the Bir- mingham Railway. Light and Power com pany Is being broken by the company, will likely make report.
 The complaints came before the coun- ell in the form of petition signed by about 300 citizens asking that the city erect and maintain its own electric light ing plant. The proposition to build a plant was turned down by a vote of the council but no disposition was made of the petition and the complaints con tained therein.
 At the last meeting the petitioners again called to the attention of the council and the streets and lights committee was instructed to look into the matter and report to the next meeting.
 It was charged in the petition that the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company had contracted to supply cer- tain candle-power lights for the streets and that the lights had since been re- placed with inferior ones.
 A number of people in Ensley still de- sire an electric light plant owned and operated by the city and will not allow the matter dropped until the proposition is shown to be utterly impracticable or impossible.
 The city has a ten year contract with the Birmingham Railway, Light and Pow CT company to supply all lights needed by the city for streets and other pur- poses and this contract will have to be nullified before the city could well incur the expense of building a plant.
 The miscellaneous committee will report at the meeting Thursday night on the printing of the city, code which has just been completed by Attorney Frank Decd meyer in conjunction with City Attorney Romaine Boyd.
