Heavy Deficit As Compared With Former surpIus--Treasurer of united States Presents
 Figures.

Washington, Dec, 3-Charles N. Treat. treasurer of the United States in his annual report calls attention to the fact that owing to the disturbed relations between the income and out so of the government therc was a de- ficiency last year of s5S,070,201 as against surplus for the preceding year of $Sb23s5ss and points out that the total revenues for 1908 exceeded any preceding fiscal year except 1907.
 Treasurer Treat points out that thus 1t Is apparent that the trouble Is not in decreasing receipts, but in in- creasing expenditures, which situation the treasury was able to meet with the excess of revenues which had ae- cumulated during the previous years.
 The general stock of money in the country at the close of the last fiscal year was $3.37s,7s4.o20 an increase of $263. .203.013 as compared with that of year ago.
 Tho money in circulation for the past eleven years has steadily increased; the growth per capita advanced from S22.S7 in 1897 to $34.72 in 1908.
 There were 2e6.S06.S72 pieces of United States paper currency in cir culation October 1. The paper cir- culation issued directly by the govern ment is in better condition than for many years past.
 The repore suggests that for sanitary reasons, the government should pro- vide for tiie transportation of it's paper issues to the treasury for redemption
 National bank notes presented for redemption" the report adds. "ag- gregated s34s.54s.2s0. equal to S2.7s per cent of the average amount of notes outstanding during the year. The net growth in the bank note circulation was $94.545,227.

 'The deposit of lawful money in the treasury to retire national bank notes under the act limiting such deposits to $10S. 100000 annually. aggregated $37,- 112.S37. Banks have availed them- selves of but little more than one-thIrd of the option: therefore the law Is not restrictive on retirements until the limit of se.oo0,o00 per month has been reachad." ."

Benton, H., Dec. 3.--Dr. B. F. Bray field was arfaigned in court here today and pleaded not guilty to the murder of Reuben F. Parrish. Illinois Central Railroad agent at Mulkeytown. by the in an indictment found yesterday.
 By agreement Of counsel his bail was fixed at $5 900. The amount was furnished and the prisoner released.
 In the presence of his lawyers. pr.

 Dr. Brayheld's statement follows:
 q deny emphaticaliy the charges in this indictment that administered poll son to Reuben F. Parrish, During the last three months of Parrish's illness he was treated by pr. A. c. Orr of Benton. who is now dead.
 Dr. Orr found absolutely no traces of any poison. did not wait on Par rish during the last three days of his illness.
 Parrish died of an intestinal ob- struction. Dr. T. M. Aderhold of ZeIgler had demanded an operation, but his family objected.
 Parrish was not jealous of me. He sent his wife to me to be treated. She came to my office every day or every second or third day. for five or six months. like other women did. There was not & woman in all the country side whom had not treated at once time or another.
 There was absolutely no foundation for all this gossip about myself and Mrs. Parrish.
 Her husband went to the men who started these stories and told them to their faces that they were liars. They did not resent 1t. They stood and took 1t.
 The indictments are spite work. like the gossip was.v

The Attitude of the shah of Persia OH C0mstatuti0nalisua

The Altitude or the Shah or PeEa1a on C0mstitutionaIisua
 Teheran, Dec. 3-The Shah of Persia granted an audience this afternoon to the Representative of the Associated Press and expressed keen desire to dissipate some of the false impressions regarding his attitude on constitution alism that have. reached the outside world.
 His Majesty asserted his belief In a constitution in>emphatic terms.
 q consider the institution of con stItution as essentially necessary fer the advancement of Persian people, he said q realize what great source of progress parliamentary government has been to other nations but the de- Dlorable results of the recent institu- tion in Tehesan of the Mejliss CNation- al Assembly, gave ample proof of the necessity for a gradual development or tho system in this country. The mel liss proved to be actually unprogres- sive instead of progressive and the ex- hperiences of the people with the mej- iiss to a widespread movement against revival of the constitution, under which the ignorant masses anticipates 2 raturn of the evils to which they were subjected under the first assem- ply. Ut is necessary tnab tH0 PeoPAo oS brought gradually to appreciate the value of these institutions and this ia my aim. It is quite true that there are 1 two parties in the country. one for the | other against constitution, but 1t is nrecisely for this reason that I fear a hasty decision might lead to disturb ances which I am anxious to avoid :: | The work of the last nieljiss caused sudlcient trouble and bloodshed.

 Tt is true that the members of this Council are not deputies. but from this small beginning hope that the Coun" ell intimately will develop into an im- pNrtant assembly. hope to- train my neople properly to appreciate larger constitutional regime"
 Referring to the existing situation at Tabriz, the Shah said;

STRENGTH FOR
 THE DAYS WORK
Depends Upon Good Red BIood to
 Neurish the Body.
WEAK PEOPLE NEED A TONIC
One which Acts Directly Upon the Biood and Thst Does Net Wenken
 the Body By Useless PurEing.

The tonic treatment with Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills for rundown condi- tions of the health Is based on sound medical principles and on common sense. More, and more men and women are beginning to realize that pure. red blood means health and that the ef- ficiency of any tissue or organ Is en-- tirely dependent upon the quality of the blood.
 There are thousands of people. who are without ambition or strength to do their days work and who are al- ways tired out. have but little appetite and a poor digestion. cannot get re- freshing nights sleep and are subject to headaches, backaches and nervous neas because their blood Is impure.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills give quick relief and permanently cure such men and women because of their direct action on the blood. which they purify and build up to its normal strength. Az the blood becomes pure and red It strengthens the muscles. tones up the nerves. makes the stomach capable of digsting the food and repairs the wastes caused by growth and work. In q word 1t gives perfect health.
 The need in every family of safe and effective tonic is shown by the following statement of Mrs. A. B. Gates, of No s07 East Second street, Duluth, Minn.
 'T suffered for over a year." she says. From general debility. which was brought on by overwork. had no ambition to do any work and the least exertion used me up. My appetite was poor and I was very nervous at times. could not get good nights rest. was often confined to bed for a day or so and certainly felt miserable.
 T doetored with local physicians for a time but did not get any help from their medicine. l heard of Dr. Will Hams Pink Pills through a friend and gave them a trial They soon gave me strength and was able to do my York. I have since kept the pills Tn the house and recommend them high ly."
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are not like ordinary medicines. They do not act on the bowels but they may be said to actually make new blood. In this way they reach many diseases caused by depraved or vitiated blood and they have cured severe cases of rheumatism, scfatica, nervousness, St. Vitus' dance and have accomplished miraculous re- suits in partial paralysis and locomo- tor .ataxia. They are also specific for anaemia, ehlorosis or green sick ness, and the special troubles of Wo- men and growing girls.
 All druggists sell pr. Williams' Pink Pills or they will be sent by mah. postpaid, on recaipG of price. 50 cents per box: six boxes for $2.50 by the pr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenecta-
