REVENUE OFFICERS
ALLEGED lLLEGALITY IN TRE
SALE OF OLEONARGARINB
In this City-Ths Stock and Books Of Local
Firm Sslzsd Yesisrtay-Prosscu-
tons to Follow.

! Special Revenue Agent Bowen, Of
Kentucky, has been In Wheeling severa
days. Monday he was joined here by
Internal Revenue Collector T. NJ. Gilk-
son, Of Petersburg, and his chief
deputy. ]. H. Knapp. Deputy Collector
Myers, of Bellaire, has also been in the
city. The presence of such large
number of revenue officials gave rise to
rumors of violations of the United
States statutes, and yesterday it leaked
out that the officials have been making
an investigation, which reveals the fact
that the government has been defraud-
ed Of sums which will reach large
amount in the aggregate, by the failure
OF several local wholesale and retail
dealers 10 oleomargarine TO comply with
the provisions OF the statute.
IL is understood that the revenue Of
6cialS have been informed that large
quantities of oleomargarine are being
sold here by jObbers and retailers as
creamery butter, and are not properly
stamped and branded as provided by
.aw. The penalty for such violations is
very severe, provision being made for
both ine and mprisonment upon con
glCtion.
Monday tho revenue officials seized
the books Of Stole Bros, wholesale
grocers, who are alleged TO have violat-
ed the law with reference to the stamp
ing of "ole0." They also seized their
stock OF butter, including quantity OF
cold storage.
The revenue officers, who were seen
by a REGISTER reporter, declined TO
talk about the matter, but were busily
engaged all day yesterday In examining
the books and accounts OF the firm.
Stole Bros. retained Dovener X CO.
nitf as their attorneys, aud Will make
demand for the return OF the books,
on the ground that the officers have
no legal right TO demand possession Of
them. 1t is said that very recent de-
ciSiOn in the United States Court at
PittSburg, in a case very similar 10 this,
was against such procedure on the
part Of the revenue officers.
The exact nature OF the charges
against Stole Bros. is not definitely
known, but no criminal proceedings
have yet taken place. 1t is said, how
ever, that several thousand dollars are
involved. The United States stat
utes expressly provide for a two
cent stamp upon each pound
of oleOmargarine, aud prohibit the sale
of "oleo" as butter. 1t is reported that
number of Wheeling merchants,
wholesalers and retailers, will be in
volved 10 the matter before the investi-
cation is ended.
A reporter talked with one Of the
attorneys for Stole Bros, last night.

the case, except in so far as they re.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Two Boys AImoit Run Over BY Sire
Car Last Nj .ht.


1t is a great wonder that there is not
more chldCeu killed by the electric cars
in this city than there is. Small chill
dren are allowed 10 play out on the
street near the tracks, and not only are
the smaller children source OF annoy
ance 10 the car men, but also the half
grown boys. The latter have habit OF
jumping on the cars and running along
the track in front OF them, and cause
the motormen and conductors a great
deal of trouble.
Last night about = o'clock as car
was coming north between Thirly-third
and Twenty streets, a crowd OF
boys were on the street and as the car
came up a number of the boys started
to run along in front of il. The motor
man kept a clese lookout for fear some
of them would fall down and be run
over. just as the car reached Twenty
seventh street, one OF the boys fell
down and In an instant two more were
on TOD of him. The boys appeared TO
have some presence of mind, for all
three OF them rolled over from the
track as the car came TO a stop a few
feet away from where they fell. The
boys were pretty badly scared, and as
soon as they could get up out Of the
street they all made good their escape
by running In all directions. 1t was a
close call and several who saw the
affair said it was miracle that they
escaped being run over.

THE TIME HAS ARRiV ED

1t is potent 70 everybody that
the time the Repnb leans have SO
long professed TO be looking for
has arrived. They have prayed
for "A chance TO have the power to
pass a free coinage bill, and now
they have it.
With the exception of one Dem
ocrat in California, one Silver
man in Nevada and one Fusionist
in Nebraska the Republicans have
elected every Congressman be-
tween the Missouri river and the
Pacific ocean. They also have
every Senator except White OF
California, Roach of North Da-
kota and the two Silver Senators
from this State The great region
embracing twelve States is the
home of silver mining and the
hotbed Of the free coinage senti-
ment. To all intants and purpo-
ses it is solidly Republican. The
few Senators and Representa-
tives from the entire region who
are not Republicans are in favor
of free coinage, with the possible
exception of Senator Roach. We
will now see what the Repubii-
cans will do for Silver. Cam
paign after campaign they have
professed great friendship for sill
yer. but have i variahly broken
their word in Congress. From
the Missouri river to the Atlantic
ocean the Republican party pre-
sents an unbroken front against
free coinage. The Ohio Demo
Gratis adopted free-coinage plat
form, but the ONLY Democratic
Con gressman elected in the Stete
is opposed TO free silver. A large
majority of the Southern Demo
cratic Congressman are free
coinage men, but they have no
coadjutors in the North. AS the
Republicans have captured the
entire group of silver States and
Territories, they can have no ex-
cuse fo- not dealing with the sill
yer question The value of their
professions Will once more be put
10 the test, and we venture the
prediction now that the record Of
p>g.idy will be unbrokon.
