MAY INCREASE THE BEER TAX.
The Rev nues Under the New Tariff
Law Not Large Enough


Washington, Jan. 3.-The falling on
in the revenues, as shown by the colec-
tons for four months under the new
tariff law has attracted the attention Of
the senator's, and there appears to be
a movement on foot to do something that
will, in a measure. at least, correct this.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas has revived
discussion of the proposition he advanced
during the consideration of the tariff bill
in committee, and hopes to see the law
amended in its internh revenue feat
ures so as to increase the tax on beer
from 81 to 81 per barrel. This action
would at once increase the revenues by
$30.OW,000 per year. Senator Jones is earn
estly in favor of this proposition, and
the matter IS being quietly discussed
among the democratic senators. A prop
ositon looking to this end in the near
future is not among the improbabilities.
Leading members Of the House COM
mittee on ways and means deny the re-
port that a bill will soon be reported
from that committee Increasing the tax
on beer from 81 to 81 a barrel A sugges-
ton to this effect was made while the
Wilson tariff bill was in process of in
cubation' but the brewers opposed it on
the ground that beer was the poor

generally favored the proposition but

One evening last week, about dusk,
as Noble DeHaas was passing south on
West street, on his way home, he was
startled by such sight as he never
wants to see again. Nearly opposite
,he Baptist Church, is the home of John
Raglin. Just as De Haas had cotton in
front OF the house, the door burst open,
and Miss Lizzie Raglin flew out, a mass
OF flames. Mr.. DeHass was in the mid
die of the street, and she started toward
him, then swerved and started north.
Instantly DeHass dropped his bundles
and sprang after her. In few steps he
overlook her, and throwing her down
rolled her in the snow until the fire
was extinguished. Her clothing was
nearly all burned off, and he carried
her in the house and wrapped her in a
blanket. Thanks to his prompt and
fearless action, her life was saved She
was severely. though not dangerously
burned D-Hass sustained SOU. Lnrns
on the hands.

The Adams county liar is out in the
Cleveland Press with ghost story. The
scene is laid in ravine near Ripley.
Ex- x-County Commissioner Griffith, of
Brown county is accredited with having
seen groaning apparition dragging a
log chain over the wild hillside. He
was followed by pack of phantom
baying hounds whose noise made the
midnight hideous and woke the deni.
zens for miles around The Adams
county liar explains the wherefore of
this awful vision, by relating story to
the effect that years ago, fox hunt
centered in this ravine. There were
several foxes in the enclosure when the
forces circled in. A tough character
named Joe Woods came up at this juno
ture with ten hounds and deman lie d
that his dogs be let into the circle. A
fight ensued, and in the confusion the
foxes escaped with the hounds in pur.
suit. Then the exasperated hunters
took log chain and fastened Woods to
a stump, where he was LETT to die
Neither Woods or the foxes or the dogs
were ever seen again. Now, if some
one will take that chain and fasten the
Adams county liar to the same stump
perhaps he, too, would disappear, and
IN afflicted community would fervently
thank the good angels, or the had, al
their judgment might dictate.

were here few days ago seeking to en-.
list some of our business men in a
scheme for the collection of bad debts,
are now in Jail at Wilmington. They
represented that, after the initiation of
a stipulated number of firms at $40 each,
they would send men here dressed in
uniform, to hang aronnd and harrass
the debtors until they conclude to pay,
rather than suffer further indignities.
They collect the initiation fees, and in
addition, stipulate for per centage on
collections. The scheme seems plaus.
ible. Merchants take bold of it. The
promoters disappear with the initiation
fees, and no more is ever heard of them
or the collecting agency. They are said
to have worked their schemes in Phila.

Terre Haute, Detroit, Hamilton and
other places. Among their late scenes
of endeavor is Richmond, KY, where
they are now wanted for obtaining
money under false pretenses, and for
