SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. The Chron
icle says:
"There Is a persistent rumor that the
accounting offices of -the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Oregon Railroad &. NavU
gatjpn and the Oregon Short Line Com.
Panics are to be consolidated. No au
thentic information of Harrlman's Inten
tions Is obtainable at this time, and If
the accounting offices are to be consoli
dated there Is no one here who Is aware
of the fact. Some local officials of the
Southern Pacific are Inclined to the belief
that the scheme of organization applied
to the traffic departments of the Harrl.
man lines may be extended to the other
departments.
"The approaching conference at Omaha,
at, "which three accounting officers from
tbjs city will he present, might be consid
ered a necessary preliminary step to that
end. However, this Is all speculation on
the part of railroad officials.
"The Union Pacific accounting officers
who will be present at the conference are
General Auditor Erastus Young, Freight
Auditor H. J. Stirling, and Auditor of
Passenger Accounts F B. Southard. It
Is expected that William Mahl, controller
of the Southern Pacific, with headquarters
in New York, will also be present and that
some of the accounting officers of the Ore
gon Railroad & Navigation Company and
the Oregon Short Line will likewise be
at the gathering. The conference Is called
for Monday."
SAN FRANCISCO, June 29. Tho Call
nays:
"The Call recently announced that there
would be a shake-up in the accounting
department of the Southern Pacific Com.
pany. It Is now generally believed that
some Important changes are about to be
made. Several oiHcials In the auditing
branch of the service have received no
tices requesting tnelr immediate appear
ance at Omaha. They left last evening,
among them being E. E. Hokon, tlck.et
auditor. W hat the outcome of their trip
East will be is hard to say, but the close
affiliation of the Union and Southern Pa
cific roads seems to point to the fact that
there will be a ronsolldation of the Union
and Southern Pacific accounting depart
ments." Young Denies the Report.
OJHAHA, June 29. Erastus Young, gen
eral auditor of the Union Pacific, today
denied that there was any truth In the
report from San Francisco that the ac
counting offices of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific, Oregon Railroad &. Navi
gation Co. and Oregon Short Line were to
be merged under one head.

which the work of construction will be
actively commenced and pushed through
tl completion. As to the Nevada grade
contest now pending in the Federal Court

CROSSINGS AT CAXEMAH.
Report of Commissioners on Trolley
Llne-S. P. Dispute.
OREGON CITY, Or., June 29. The com
missioners appointed by Judge McBrldo
to make an examination of the proposed
crossing at Canemah In the matter of the
litigation of the Oregon City & Southern
Railway Company vs. the Oregon & Cali
fornia and Southern Pacific Railroad com
panies for condemnation of right of way,
have filed their report. While they rec
ommend grade crossings under certain
restrictions, trolley wires are to be 224
feet above the top of the rail, and the
plaintiff corporation Is required to estab
lish and maintain, at its own expense, an
Interlocking signal apparatus, known as
the Glbbs' syst&n. In connection with- the
standard interlocking apparatus of the
isauonai awucn ana signal Company, of
Eastern Pennsylvania. This apparatus Is
said to be very expensive and will have
to be maintained at the expense of the
Oregon City & Southern Railway Com
pany. The commissioners, Alfred F. Sears and
Wallace B. Chase, of Portland, and C. F.
Lester, .of Astoria, concluded their re
port with the following statement:
MA grade crossing Is a menace to life
and property under all circumstances, even
when guarded by the most perfect de
vice known. In our. Judgment it should
never be allowed when It can be properly
prevented. In the present Instance your
commissioners would have decided on an
overhead crossing If It could have been
built without-undue Interference with the
county road. Your commissioners each
emphasize their decided opinion that the
line of the electric road Is Improperly lo
cated. They find on personal Investiga
tion, that It might and should have been
placed along the river bank between the
Southern Pacific line and the river, even
if It had been necessary to .move the
track of the Southern Pacific a trifling
distance, eastward, for which thore Is
abundant room, without serious damage
to abutting property or the alignment of
the existing company.

A treasprer of. the United States, writ
ing to the Secretary of the. Treasury tan
yeajs ago,, said of the 4ow wqrk of the
bureau of engraving and printing at-
tnat time: It seems puerile ,to. allow so
small difficulty -as the printing- of a few
thousand sheets of "paper to becc-me .any
obstacle In the , discharge of public busi
ness and an annoyance .to the people Jn
thejr money masters,". It , would .-seem
just as. puerile o allpw the printing of a
few thousand .sheets of paper ,ta Inter
fere with the public .health. Eminent spe
cialists have testified tKit nothing Is bet
ter qualified to spread disease germs than
old pap;r currency.
Shipping Old Currency. .
The Government not only reissues old
paper currency which Is not ragged, but
discourages the public ;ln the matter of
sending money In for redemption. Prior
to July 1, 1883, there was an annual -appropriation
for the transportation of currency
to Washington for redemption; now-, any
one who wants to -have old and worn -currency
exchanged for-new must pay the
cost of shipping It to Washington.
Notwithstanding the Government's par
simony In this matter, the Treasury pays
three-fourths of the cost of transporting
money for redemption. Something like
$4000 a year Is paid out by banks and
business houses' to ship old and worn cur
rency to the Treasury. But the Govern
ment's expense lsr three tiroes as great,
because" most of-those who handle money
keep It In circulation Until In the course
of business It passes Into one of the Sub
Treasuries. There the money Is sorted,
and all badly worn currency Is shipped to
Washington for redemption.
1"he casual destruction of note's, by the
way. Is a remarkable source of Income to
tho Government It Is one of -a number
tof indirect sources which the Government
has. It is estimated that fully SltT.OCO.OOO
worth" of Treasury notes hnve been de
stroyed while In circulation, and will
never be 'presented for "redemption. On
the other hand, the amount of counterfeit
money which- has been redeemed by the
Government Is Inconsiderable.
Treasury officials are not believers in
the germ theory. They pay that all the
57.000.000 of money redeemed, at the Treas
ury has "passed through the hands of the
c,erks .Qf the-redemption division, and
th&y have 'yst to learn of one or tnese
clerks whose health has been affected by
his occupation.
Assortlns Paper Sloney.
In the regular course of each day's
business a gr.eat deal pf paper money la
received at the Treasury Department.
This- money Is sorted and the torn and
dirty pieces are sent to the redemption
division. Every day $1,000,000 worth of
money Is handle'd In this division. It is
carefully assorted according to denomina
tions, and lesues, and entered In the
treasury records.
Five years ago Treasurer Ncbeker sug
gested that the money redeemed be
ch'ecked By number, as well nU by Issue
and denomination. That Is, he wanted a
list of the serial numbers of the notes
printed and the notes checked off from
this list as fast as they, came In. .One
reason for proposing this safeguard was
the possibility of the duplication of the
notes Issued from the bureau of engraving
b" collusion among Its employes. Another
was the possibility ot the redemption at
counterfeits-'somethlng that Is known to
occur sometimes In spite of the expertne38
of the department's clerks. But to check
up the. notes: By their numb'crs -would nava
required a- decided increase In the appro
priation, for treasury clerks andjCongress
declined to take the matter tip.-
Classifying? the Xotea.
The classification of notes for redemp
tion Is first as TJnlted States notes, treae-
l uuy notes, sllyer certificates or National
i
bank notes: second, according to series
(as. series of 1869. series of 1S80): finally,
according to denomination. Thus sep
arated, the notes are made into bundles,
each fastened with paper atraps, one at
each end, and one down the middle.
The straps are Indorsed to show the con
tents of the package. -
There is a big, knife in the redemption
division. It Is hinged to an iron frame
and works In a groove. The bundles cf
money are put linger thl knife, and a
messenger, by electric power, pends the
blade through them, dividing each Into
two packages. One of these contains the
upper halves of the -notes; the 'other, the
lower halves. One goes to the register's
office and one t'p the office of the treas
urer. In each of these ofllcta. clerks
check up the contenjs of the packages.
If the contents do not agree with tho
label the other '"package of halves Is
looked up for comparison. If a counter
feit Is found, It Is traced to the clerk
who accepted it, and he has to make It
good.
Reduced to Pnlp.
When the money has been checked up
in the offices of the Treasurer and Regis
ter of the Treasury, It is taken to the
macerator In charge of, a committee.
This committee is composed of one .clerk
from the Secretary's ofTic,e, ono clerk from
the Treasurer's office, one clerk from the
'Register's office and opa, outsider. The
first three have keys. "Bach key fits a,
different lock on the macerator. This
maceratqr is a steel cylinder. In which a
set of steel knives Js made to revolve. The
th.ree clerks open the macerator, .the
packages of mutilated money are placed
wlthlp, the cylinder is closed 'and the
machine "started. The steam softens the
paper, the knives cut It up fine, Pres
ently it Is only a gray pulp.
This pulp sells for 4 a hundredweight,
and Is turned into Images of George
Washington, the Washington Monument,
etc, for sale by dealers In .souvenirs.
Each of theee oriMe Iroajses Is labeled .as
representing "$500 of paper durrency," or
some other large sura, which Is, wholly a
matter of guess work.
Worn nd Mntljated.
One result of the Government's failure
to encourage the redemption o? currency
Is that currency . comes to the Treasury
In extraordinary condition, and a corps
oC experts -Is required to identify it.v .Cur
rency la handled until It Is falling to
pieces. Sometimes It Is burled and It rota
until It 1h hardly recognizable. Frequent
ly It meets with an accident, as burn
ing or mastication by cows, or nibbling
by mice. Money comes to the Treasury in
tho form of pulp, taken from the stom
achs of cows or doge: it la offered in
birds' neata or rats' neots: It appears a
ashes, The principal expert engaged In
the-identiflcatlon of this mutilated money
is Mre. Brown. AH the other-experts are
women, and thev work with surprising
results sorting out the bits of paper and
identifying them. """"'
The identification of this mutilated
money Is not a very nice job. Sometimes
It Is not a very clean job. . The number
of stories told In connection with theee
mutilated notes Is countless.' ' One "of the
most frequent Is the1 slory '6t the mice
who had niade. a nest or currency put
away for safe keeping. 'A frequent story
Is that of 'money put 'In '-d etoy6 during
Summer and forgotten, "when- the fire was
lighted In the Beginning ofj Winter." Rail
road accidents 'arer'th"e .cause bfrnuchr of
the expert labor In" the redemption divi
sion. The wdrst 6f these on 'record was- a

the ashes. One of th' applicants "for re

Rclyoa, the chief, "knbwi ot of the
tricks they practice- TJetYqQs,t .remark
able attempt 'to swindled, w-lthlii lils ex
perience was that qf'a man who sent In
three apparently half-burned notes frohi
a place in Kansas. He made affidavit,
tolling, with ste at clrcumainncc how he
had hung his "waistcoat on, a. fence while

guilty of fraud. It- happened that in the

seemed a slight irregularity about them,
they were not sent, to-the macerator, but

is probable the .other halves, of the notes
were sent to .the farmer in the course of
a green goods game, -and -he .couid not
reslet the temptation -to try to work them
off on the Government. , "
Another That Fnllcd. -
Another attempt-to swindle was mado
by a boy working In a New York bank.
He collected a great many scrans cf
money about the bank and sent them in
with the statement that they were the
remains of -$200 worthof -notes chewed by
rats. The experts quickly determined
that they were the odds and ends of
probably 100 different notes,, and, !
course, nothing was done- In the matter.
The boy might have been pro6.eciited, but
that did not seem worth' while.
Another remarkable story told In the re
demption division is that of the finding
of two $500 notes on the la'ke front of Chi
cago. They were In small scraps. The
two colored laborers who found them took
tiiem to the Treasury, but wfire told they
would not be redeemed unless proof of
ownership was furnished, so they made
nothfng by their find. '

Sins of
Blood Poison is an universal disease. The enlightened nations of tie world, as well as
the savage, have been contending with this monster scourge for centuries past. Civilization
has not checked its progress. Scientists have discovered little concerning the character o
this peculiar poison; they admit it to be a blood disease, for which tliey know no antidote
or cure. . Their Mercury and Potash preparations hide the S3inptoms, 'but cannot destro' the
virus. This disease is so highly contagious that persons handling, the clothing, using the
same bnish or towel, drinking from the same vessel, are inoculated. .The deepest misery and
humiliation have followed the kiss of affection. Though guilty of no wrong, the person who
contracts the disease in this way endures the same physical suffering that the guilty one does.
How often is the proud parent horrified when he finds the disease he so confidently believed
had been forever driven from his own blood has been transmitted to his innocent child; its
little body tortured with sores, the glands of
the neck swollen and knotted and the skin AN m??OCENT victim.

The symptoms of this hideous disease can
not be mistaken; eruptions upon the skin,
sores or ulcers in the mouth and throat,
copper-colored splotches' on different parts
of the body and the loss of hair and eye
brows, are infallible signs of Contagious
ilood Poison. Other and more destructive
symptoms follow, of course, as the disease
progresses; the whole skin surface is often
covered with a mass of sores, and even bone
and tissue are destroyed. This is not a
simple disease; do not trifle with it; terrible
as are the immediate effects, it is horrible
to think that through your carelessness or neglect others may have to suffer for your sin..
You may have taken the usual remedies, but the aching bones and slight rheumatic pains','
the annoying little ulcers and pimples that periodically break out, remind you that you
are not cured; that thepoison is still in 3'our system. J
S. S. S. is a specific for this disease. That it does antidote this peculiar virus, an experi
ence of many years has proven beyond doubt. It is no' experiment to take S. S. S. It has
demonstrated in thousands of cases its curative powers. Being strictly a vegetable remedy
makes it safe; there can be no bad after effect, as is the case where Mercury and Potash treat
ment has been taken. It eradicates Contagious Blood Poison completely and permanently
from the system -and removes all possible danger of contaminating others or transmitting it.
Poison, send for our Dook and learn all about this disease. Every symptom and stage is
described so clearly and minutely that after reading1 it you can treat your own case success
fully. Should 3'ou at any time need any special advice, you have only to write our phy
sicians: we make no charge for this. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., Atlanta, Ga
