HOW Co Cure the Grlp.

Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain Cough Remedy as di-
rected and quick recovery is sure to
follow. That remedy counteracts
any tendency of the grip to result in
pneumonia. which is really the only
serious danger. Among the tens of
thousands who have used it for the
grip not one case has ever been re-
ported that did not recover. For
sale by all druggists.
If young ladies think sores, pimples
and red noses look well with a
bridal veil and orange blossoms
it's all right. Yet Rocky Mountain
Tea would drive them away. So

SEVENTY-SI. MILLION DOLLARS
EXCESS OF GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS
OVER uSBUaSeMEATS
For the Fiscal y ear Ending Today.
Only 81 200, ,O.O Below the Estimates
Made by Consress at Last Session.
For Coming Year Increase of Gus
toms Receipts Expected to Equal De-
crease IN Interna Revepue Under
Amended Revenue Act.

Washington. June .9-The compare
tive statement of the government re-
ceipts and expenditures for the fiscal
year ended today will show an excess
Of receipts over disbursements of ap-
proximately $76,O00pO0
This is only abou $4,000. coo below the
estimate made by congress at the be-
ginning of the lastsession in Decem-
ber 1900 at which tine the secretary
estimated the receirts from customs
would be about s245.UO.OOO. The final
figures which will be ssued next Mon
day will probably fal. short Of this
amount by about s6,OO.OOO.
The receipts from Internal revenue
sources were estimated last December
at $500, 100000. while the 1nal figures will
show over $780,. 600, 900.
The receipts from miscellaneous
sources were estimated at s34, ,OOO, 600.
These will also show a considerable in
crease.
The expenditures for the year will be
100000 in excess Of the estimate.
During the fiscal year ot19O0 the sur
plus revenues amounted Il nearly $24,-
100000. while the surplus fos the present
year will reach $4,000. 1000 and possibly
a still higher figure.
In view Of the fact that The revenue
reduction bill passed at the asst session
Of congress will go into OPERATION at
the beginning Of the fiscal year, next
Monday, treasury officials estimate that
the loss from this source will be about
$40,000,0O0. 1t is not expected, however,
that the net reduction from this source
will reach that amount. as the officials
look forward to a year of even greater
prosperity than the one just cIOsing
If this expectation is realized the Of
ficials believe that the revenues from
internal sources alone will be not great
er than $4,000, 900 below the figures ot
the present year. It is also confidentl,
expected that the receipts from Gus
toms will materially increase during
the coming twelve months. so that not
withstanding the reduction made in tn,
last revenue bill. the total receipt.
from all sources may even reach or ex
ceed those of the fiscal Year 1901.
