PAPER MONEY DESTROYED.
GreenbacISs and other Notes that Do
Nor Show UP for Redemption.

GreenbacISs and Other Notes that Do
Nor Show UP for Redemption.
1t is stated that Of the $7,50O,O0O
Of clearinghouse certificates issued by
the banks of this city, $131, 900 are still
outstanding, declares the San Francis
co Journal 1t is probable that few
more thousand dollars may be turned
In for redemption, but it is not at all
unlikely that a hundred thousand dol
lars or so of the total issue may share
the same experience or fate as that Of
"a part Of the money emitted by the gov
eminent.
Paper money is very destructible,
and large amounts of it are constantly
being destroyed Of which we never
hear, because Of an apparent indispOsl-
ton on the part Of those who make
our laws to provide machinery for de-
tecting contractions Of the currency due
to that cause In the case Of the clear
ing house certificates it is possible that
considerable amount has found it's
way into the possession of collectors,
but the greater part Of the unredeemed
notes have doubtless been lost or de-
stroyed
1t would be interesting to know just
how much of the $346, 100000 of legal
tender currency Of the government,
which is supposed to be in circulation
is still in existence The opportunities
for destruction since the date when
Congress stopped the process Of con-
traction by fixing the amount supposed
to be in circulation at the above figure
must be very great. Some have ven
tured to estimate it at not less than
$1OO,OOO,OOO.
There has also been an enormous
loss of silver and gold certificates, no
one can tell how much and singularly
enough no one in authority in Wasl.-
ington seems to be at all curious con-
corning the amount And yet there is
good reason why curiosity should be
manifested.
There Is no sense in stating In our
treasury reports that there are 1885,
100000 Of legal tenders outstanding
when 1t would be easy to ascertain
that the amount was much less, or that
the total silver and gold certificates in
circulation is greater than it really Is.

Cure for Grippe.

Think Lena TiIIman May Have Been
One of Mrs. Guinness Victims.
Kenosha people are watching with a
great deal of interest the developments in
the search for bodies at the Guinness farm
near Laporte, Ind, as it is thought pos
sible that Anna Tillman, formerly of
Kenosha, is one of the women buried be-
meath the ''soft places on the farm. The
woman disappeared two years ago, and
at that time she had just left Laporte to
go to a farm near that city. The last
letter received from her stated that she
was not in good health, and that she had
been invited to go out into the country
for an indefinite time. Anna Tillman
