People who neglect their minor ailments
rarely live to make old bones. The secret
Of hale aud vigorous old age lies not only
in taking care Of ones health in early lie,
by tho observance Of sanitary rules, but
also by judicious medication when the pre-.
monitory symptoms Of bodily disorder
manifest themselves. Indigestion, bowel
and liver complaints, are fruitful causes OF
injury,to the constitution. These diseases
should be, therefore, checked without dc.

Michigan Crop Prospects.

From the Detroit lnbhho'
The promise Of a very bountiiul harvest
Of almost every product has not been
more 1attering or hopeful for many years
than at present. Unless the future de-.
velops something unfayorAble, the farm.
ers Of the State will gather one Of the
largest and best wheat crops ever raised
in Michigan. In Van Buren,, Kalamazoo
and Berrien counties and from few sec.
tons in that part Of the State the rava-
ges Of insects are reported as having been
serious, and the crop has without doubt
been considerably injured. But from
other sections Of the State, almost with.
out exception, the intelligence ia Of
the most cheering and promising char.
HcteF, indicating . yield rarely II ever
equaled. The rains and cool weather
Of the past two or three weeks have been
emlnently favorable for The crop, and
with good weather from this date until
the close Of the harvest, the quality OF
the wheat can not but DO equal TO the best
ever gathered in the State. The outlook
for corn Is fair. The very dry weather
and the successive heavy rains have both
been somewhat untavorablc for the crop.
In, come sections It has been almost
drowned by the heavy waterfall. July
and August, however, are the months
that produce corn, and the yield may yet
be good one for this State. Oats are
in the same condition with corn although
the indications for good yield are more
IIStierjDg. The reports relative 10 this
cereal are generally favorable, and the
outlook at present certainly promises
better crop than that Of 1873. Hay
promises to be one Of tho best yields ever
known in the State. The winter and the
spring have both been favorable for this
staple. Potatoes are doing well in spite
Of the bugs, the rayages Of the latter not
being as serious as IN some former sea.
sons. The apple crop will be almost
failure. The yield Of the State will
hardly be sufficient 10 supply the market
for home consumption. As 10 peaches,
our reports are too meagre to base any
estimate, but the yield Of all kinds Of
small fruit now promises to be equal to
the best ever known, |..

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Postolice
Appropriation Act requires the POST
master General to inquire into the mum.
Der Ofcarriers now employed, and to re.
duCe the number of carriers and the
number Of deliveries OF the mails by such
carriers to the reasonable requirements
Of the public service. After an exami.
nation OF the free delivery system 10 the
principal cities, the Postmaster General
has decided that the number Of carriers
now employed cannot be reduced with.
out public inconvenience, and imposing
upon. the carriers an unreasonable
amount Of labor. He has, therefore,
concluded to reduce the annual compen-
Sation OF those officials five per cent, and
the order for this reduction in pay was
sent to postmasters to-day.
The pOstmnsters Of the large citiel
agree that, while the compensation now
paid letter carries is not in proportion tC
the amount OF labor performed, it will be
better to make general reduction o.
five per cent in the pay than to. reduce
the force, aud thus impose additions
labor upon OtliciSlS who are already over
worked.

Mr.. Francis Murphy, the temperance

lady: "a year agO, in this city, the La.

The Government Finances.

WAsuTNGroN, June 93.-Thc recent Cs.
Inmates regarding the condition Of the
Treasury books, ut the close OF the tiScal
year, June 80, will be more than verified,
and instead Of surplus Of from three TO
i've millions, "a anticipated, after paying
the Sinking Fund $S3,OO0,OOO, will be
about $S,OO0,000. The estimated receipts
from customs were $l27 100000; from in.
ternal revenue, lsO,OOO,OOO. This month
the receipts come in rather slowly, but
the receipts from customs will, at the
end Of the month and fiscal year,
amount to between one hundred and
twenty. nine aud one hundred and
thirty, while the receipts from in.
ternal revenue will be about one
hundred and nineteen millions. The
public debt will probably be reduced six
million dollars this month, but this esti.
mate will depend largely upon the size Of
drafts Of disbursing officers for the re.
malnder OF the month. After = careful
survey Of the books Of the Treasury and
consideration Of every element OF prob
ability, itseems quite reasonable to be
I!evSthat the public debt will be reduced
six millions this month, and that includ
ing the $950O,OOO turned in from the
Geneva award and payment Of the Sink,
ing Fund, the surplus OF receipts owe,
the expenditures Of this fiscal year will

Rapid Growth Of Black Hills
Towns.

From the St, Paul Pioneer Press.
The growth OF towns is wonderful.
Custer City went up in two months, from
three or four cabins and about dozen
miners, to 600 houses and |, 800 inhabi-
tants. Then the stampede came, and the
population dropped to about 600. Dead.
wood rose from nothing in one month to
10000, which population it has since
maintained. On Battle Creek, over the
ground of which passed in November
last where there we're not twenty miners
all told, now there ia population Of over
5000, three towns, stores, hotels, etc, etc.
So, too, Of GaYsville, above Deadwood. In
Central City above Gaysville, l could
have purchased lots for 81. They are
now, selling for $500 aud $500. In Dead.
wood / was offered honIs and lot last
fall for 1928. It was sold this spring for
$4,000 cash. Rents in Deadwood run
from $40 and SIS to 500 per month for
small, inferior buildings, and few can be
had at these prices.

MEMPHIS THEATER. = Last evening
Otto. or . Game Of Chance, was pre-
sentsd at the theater by Mr.. George s.
Knight and the WorreIl Sisters, sup
ported by quite q good company. Otto
is q pleasing play, full Of dramatic stu
atoms, at times seizing the most intense
interest, and supplying q fine field for
Mr.. Knights powers. His capacity for
something even higher than Otto is fully
shown in the third act. The most striking
feature Of Mr.. Knights acting is his dia.
lect. BE is undoubtedly the best Ger
man dialect actor at present on the stage.
His English is not so much broken as to
sacrifice distinctness, while bis strong
voice carries every word with perfect
plainness to every part Of the theater.
The dramatist has placed in the mouth
of Otto" language sparkling with witty
sayings, that 60 a great way in amusing
the audience. In the scene with lis.
cite" where he makes known his passion
only to fad it regarded as a joke, Mr..
Knight displays great power. The au-
dieuce appreciated it, as was evinced
by the marked silence, followed
by the hearty applause that greeted
the recitation of the pretty poem,
The Water Mill. 1t was an affecting pas
sage, well calculated to draw upon the
emotions. His scene with casper
Becks" and Muller" in the same act,
showed in another line equally effective
that of the hero, breaking the power
Of a villain at the sacrifice of his right.
full Inheritance. The play has a very
happy ending. Even the villain is al.
lowed to depart in peace. The plot turns
neatly on a point OF evidence, aud thai
scheming individual finds himself and
charges laughed at. The sisters, by a
little spying on the part Of Lisette,'
have learned ell about their father err
ror, and the curtain rings down upon q
happy scene. Miss Sophie Worrell, al
Llsette," is q charming, don't.care
body, an accomplished actress, who, with
her cunning ways, keeps the audience in
constant good humor, and ever on the
lookout for her entrance. Miss Irene, q,

very effectively. The duets by the sis

and heartily enchored. The last act in
