WASHINGTON, July 1a-Dr. Mcdonald.
superintendent of the money order system Of
the post Office department, has given it out
that the law providing for postal notes. of
S. and under will go into effect September 5.
The reduction In fees to be charged the pubic
for domestic money orders went into effect
July 9, and single domestic money order
may now be issued for any amount from l
cent to 800, instead of $50, as the limit has
been hitherto. For orders not exceeding $40
a fee of cents will be charged. This fee is
2 or 8 cents less than the actual cost to the
government, but it makes up the loss from
the increased fees charged for transmitting
larger sums of money As matter-of- fact,
it costs the government the same to transmit
an order for $40 as it does one for $f00, the
clerical work being the same, but by the
larger fee ON larger orders the loss on the
smaller ones is made up, the fee on an order
for 800 being IS ceuts. -,

the voyage AranZa, who is naturally ner-
vousssmare, grew ,timorous and fretful at
times, and in a measure infected Parthenia
IrequoiS, however, was as docile as a cart
horse, and gave his attendants no trouble
There is no doubt that the presence of Iro-
quois, covered as he is still with his Stock
bridge cup laurals, will give an impetus to the
Monmouth park meeting. He is in such con-
dition that he may be expected to come to the
post in ten days As he has no engagements,
the association will probably make upa special
sweepstakes for Iroquois, Eole, Leonatus,
and perhaps one Of the Dryer horses Leon
atus arrived at Monmouth park yesterday.
As he has no engagement until the omnibus
stakes the 18th of August, and then is free
until the fall meeting at Louisville, his owners
would gladly enter him for such an affair
As Mr., Lorillard will participate in the Louis
vile meeting, he will undoubtedly AXE Iro-
quois, and perhaps Parole with him Par

jockey club secured for its track by adding
$1,000 to the stakes. Aranza's career in Eng
land has not been fortunate one, owing to
her extreme nervousness both at the post and

prise that promises to advance the pros
perity Of the city. IT ls fact which re-
quires no argument to prove that Yank-
ton has many valuable natural advan-
tages-among these are the site she oc-
cupies; the great river upon whose banks
the city is built :asd the extensive area
OF productive territory tributary. The
city of Yankton is necessity-itis is abso.
lutely necessary that here should be the
central commercial point; the distributing
rlace-the exchanging market for tess
OF thousands Of people who must occupy
the fertile lands surrounding. This be.
ing the case, the people who have settled
here and upon whom the direction of
Yankton's commercial affairs devolves,
need only to take an intelligent view Of
the situation to be able to shape their
policy for increasing the commercial i'm
portance of the city, and securing to it
all the benefits which it may OBJ.
tain through a wise devel-
opment of its advantages.
1t will not do to rest entirely upon the
favors which nature has so lavishly be-
slowed. An important aid to securin
business is the building of good roads
into every tributary section-roads that
will be comparatively good in any kind
of weather and during all seasons. Bad
roads deter the farmers from visiting the
city-bad roads cost the community
more than good ones do-they take off
the profits from every load of grain or
merchandise transported over them
they are loss to the whole community.
It will be money saved to the people to
double or treble the road tax and ex-
pend it wisely in securing good roads,
rather than suffer the loss in tlme-in
half loads, and sometimes in an almost
entire cessation of travel because of poor
and impossible highways. Good firm
roads and durable bridges conveniently
located will do muck toward securing to
Yankton the fruit of its natural advan.
tages.
The people of Yankton are enterpris.
ingand public spirited. They are also .
busy people, go busy that matters of gen.
eral concern are sometimes permitted t.
languish for want of attention. It would
be an excellent plan for our business
men to revive their chamber of commerce
and through that organization arrange
for more systematic way Of attending
to matters that pertain to everybody

TRAVELLERS IN BlBS.-There arrived in

where they would locate permanently
they left behind two little children, both
Girls, one two and half years old and the
other four. They were left in charge of
the gentleman mother. who took the
best of care OF them, and the two little
orphans rs it were, enjoyed excellent
health and prospered finely. Tho father
and mother came 10 this city some time
ago and concluded to make their home
here II permanent one and, naturally
enough, they wanted their little darlings
with them. The father some time ago
called upon Col. win S Hays, agent OF

him elf he could bring them over" The

il could be done and that he could do 1t if
anybody could, SO on the 18Th OF June
Col. Hays issued the ticket to bring them
from Liverpool, Eng, 10 Louisville. Ky,
with instructions to the agents and officers
of the lnman line TO watcn over and
provide for their comfort and ;afety.
The two little girls accordingly left
Yorkshire, Eng. 50 miles beyond Liver
pool and 10 miles beyond Winchester,
and arrived ut Liverpool about ten days
ago, bearing letters from Col Hays and
each one marked with ii tag caring
his adore S in this city. The Liverpool
