A Whiskey Price War.
The States Scheme to get Rid of It's
Stock.

Whiskey-or something that goes
by that name at 80 cents a full
measure pint, with wax trimmings and
official seal !!
This is what the State authorities
are now going to give the drinking
public. This is the States latest
scheme for downing blind tigers, .,.if
there be any around. No doubt it
will be successful in knocking out those
who drink it, as we'll as the tigers.
But the Governor said he was going
to give cheap whiskey, and cheap
whiskey is what he is going tc give.
Even the familiar X ls to go. The
new stuff is to have, no X grading
about it. Maybe it's going to be
below the TX standard And again
the Guaranteed u. S 100 per cent
proof is not to appear on the labels.
The 80 per cent. mark is to replace
it,
From all that can be gathered, the
move for cheap whiskey means COM
petition war with all the other "ti-
gers" now in operation, or "said to
be" in operation. 1t was intimated
about week ago that such a move
was to be made by the State authori-
ties, with view to increasing the
sales of the dispensaries and driving
all other tigers out of the field of
pro6:s. Now the other matter should
be mentioned. So far as any one
hereabouts knows, the move has been
made without any meeting of the
State board of control being held.
When representative of The State
visited the big State dispensary yes
terday morning it was noticed that
preparations were being rapidly made
for the starting up again of the bot.

ness. 1t was very soon ascertained
that the work of bottling was about
to begin.
Now such thing seemed to be
very strange, in view of The fact that
the dispensary is packed with bottled
goods, ready to be shipped out
There is vast amount of stock, as all
know, on hand ready for shipment.
Consequently The State repre-.
sentative began to make inquiries.
Very soon be found pack of new
cheap labels which had just come
from the printer evidently, which
were minus the X brand and had the
80 proof, instead Of the guaranteed
100 proof mark upon them.
This was enough, and the dispen.
sary authorities stated that ship.
ment of whiskey to go with the labels
had just been hauled in. 1t came
from the Mill Creek Distillery. They
stated that they were "getting ready
to down the blind tigers. Inc
statement was also made that the
dispensers all over the State were to
be supplied with this liquor to be
sold, at retail, at Is cents per half
pint, full measure flask, and 80 cents
per pint same. 1t is understood that
gallon packages will be retailed at 81.
Col. Mixson said that the liquor had
Just been haulded to the dispensary
yesterday morning. When asked if
the statement could be made as CON-

ing from him. that the goods had been
ordered prior to the closing of the

JUDGE CATLIN,S Joke

1t Showed That His Early-Day Educa-
tion Was Not Neglected.
The dull monotony Of the tedious cross
examination of the plaintiff yesterday in
the Gilman-Bee case was relieved by a
bon mot on the part OF Judge Catlin. Mr..
Jones was trying to get the witness to ex-
plain why he did not deny to Pat (the
hostler) the charge that he (Gilman) had
insulted Mrs. Truitt, in the course of a
certain conversation with him on the
subject.
Mr.. Jones asked the witness if Pat did
not say to him that he had insulted the
woman by appearing before her III a
nude condition, AMI ii the witness had
not so testified in the Police Court.
Gilman replied that Pat told him the
woman had SO stated to him. He did not
understand that Pat himself had made
the statement.
Somehow the witness and Mr.. Jones
could not understand one another, and
the court undertook to straighten the
matter out by asking:
Judge Catlin-Did you deny it to Pat i?
Witness-I do not know that L did
deny it to Pat, as it looked so unreason-
able.
Judge Catlin-Then you stood pat on
the statement you had made?
"Oh, Judgep' exclaimed Lawyer John
son, who was one of the first to catch on
to the courts witticisn.
Judge Catlin struggled hard to look
severe, but that smile would assert itself,
and soon the audience took it up and a
poorly suppressed laugh went round the
courtroom.
