Changes in theLaw Made by

"It Is possible now to form some decree
of estimation Of the probable Increase of
internal revenue receipts under the new
tariff law" said Commissioner Forman Of
the internal revenue bureau to a Star re-
porter today.
The Dingley tariff act made two changes
In the internal revenue law. It abolished
the rebate Of ~ cents upon each barrel of
beer which had previously been allowed
brewers upon the purchase OF their internal
revenue stamps. It.-aioubled the. Internal
revenue tax upon cigarettes.

a decrease of $61. 905.9O in the aggregate
receipts from internal revenue. occasioned

Estimated Gain for the Year.
II estimate that the government will
gain this year about 100000 by the abol-
ishment Of the beer rebate, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the large brewers laid In
such a heavy stock of old stamps in antici-
patton. 1t is somewhat difficult to estimate
the increase in receipts from cigarettes.
We will gain about S5,OOO,OOO, 1 think, by
virtue OF the act passed before the tariff

whisky to BE Withdrawn and Bottled
Heretofore they had to buy a barrel in
order to get whisky that had not passed
through the hands of the rectifers.
IF the rate of consumption holds out, as
expected, large quantities of whisky will
be withdrawn this year and bottled in this
way, and, of course, the tax will have to
be paid.
For the months Of August and Septem-
Der the total increase in the tax on spirits

The sporting event OF the week, and
one Of the most interesting OF the win
ter, will be the boxing contest tonight
in the arena of the Metropolitan Ath-
letic Club. It will be twenty round
"go' between Buck" Stelzer. of this
city, and Louden Campbell, of Pitts
burg. Both men have good reputa-
lions. Campbell has met some good
men in the East, and made very
creditable showing against them. Stel-
zer's most notable achievement in a
pugilistic way were the victories over
Jack Bowen and Mike Farragher, both
before the M. A. c.
The contest tonight will be notable
from the fact that Peter Maher, the
big aspirant for championship honors
in the heavyweight class, will officiate
as referee. He is expected to arrive
in the city at two o'clock this after
noon, accompanied by his hacker and
manager, Buck Cornelius, of Pitts
burg.
The club has arranged a number of
very interesting preliminaries, list
of which were published in the Regis
ter. The preliminaries will begin upon
the arrival of the eight o'clock w. & E.
G. motor, and the principal event will
be pulled off after the arrival Of the
ten o'clock motor. A great many
tickets have already been sold, and in
dications point to big crowd.

Benwood Refuses to Accept the Appor.
ti,nment of Railroad Taxes Made
by the Marshall County Court.
The Union District School Taxes.

The Marshall county court yesterday
decided that they would not accept
the revised valuation placed upon the
property of the B. & O.. railroad by the
city of Benwood, which was also rec
commended by the State Board of Public
Works. The city of Benwood asked
for a valuation of $460,000, but the
County Commissioners offered to COM
promise the matter by giving Benwood
$3.50, eco, just one-half the amount
asked for. Caldwell & Caldwell, at
torneys for Benwood, refused to accept
the apportionment of the county court,
and will file a bill of exceptions be-
fore the Circuit Court.
A special meeting of the Marshall
County Court will be held Thursday
for the purpose of making an appor-
tionment of the taxes. due the various
school districts of the county. Caldwell
& Caldwell will present a bill OF ex-
ceptions to the apportionment OF school
taxes for Union district. Union dis
trict claims that by the present appor-
tionment it loses $500 annually, which
it claims belongs to it.

GRAND JURY
Has Not Yet Completed Its Labors.
Witnesses Examined on Liquor
Cases..-Adjourned Until This Morn
ing.--WilnesS Brought to Time.

The grand jury for the November
term of the Criminal Court continued
in session all day yesterday. Most of
the time was consumed in the examina-
ton of witnesses against the saloon
keepers. This feature Of the investi-
cation by the jurors continued until
we'll into the afternoon. The other
cases presented by the Prosecuting At
torney were then taken up, and the
jury found that it would be impossible
to conclude yesterday. Late in the
afternoon the jury was adjourned until
this morning. The jury will probably
make it's report before noon.
1t is understood that the jury went
into an investigation Of the Kiel MUIR
der case during the afternoon.
The morning session was enlivened
somewhat by a threat to send witness
to Jail. Like witness OMalley, who
was placed in Jail on the previous day,
this witness could not remember
things about which he was asked.
When he learned that the jury was in
earnest in it's efforts to get the desired
information from him. however, his
memory was suddenly refreshed and
frightened.

Cure for II.
Catarrh Of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are q
full or bloating sensation after eat
ing, accompanied sometimes with sour
or watery risings, a formation of
gases, causing pressure on the heart
and lungs and difficult breathing:
headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and general played out, languid feel
ing.
There is often a foul taste In the
mouth, coated tongue, and il the int
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a Shiny, inf1amed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obsti-
nate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy diges-
tier is the one necessary thing tc do
and when normal digestion is secured
the catarrhal condition will have dis
appeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use af-
ter each meal tablet, composed OF
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
let's can now be found at all drug stores

Mr. N. J. Booher, z710 Dearborn ST.,

local condition resulting from a neg
lected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
inf1amed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backwards into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Medi-

The interest in Wheeling in the cleo
tons which were held yesterday, was
intense, considering the fact that no
election was held in this city or State.
In the evening the Register Office be-
gan to fill up with Democrats anxious
for news of the result. At the Grand
Opera House, at the Bimetallic Club,
and at different other points in the
city, bulletins were read to large
crowds. There was also a crowd at
the Intelligencer Office, but its proper
tons gradually dwindled when the
fact Of Democratic gains everywhere
was made apparent. There was little
enthusiasm there. The interest in sur
rounding towns was manifested in the
constant ringing of the telephone bells
in the Register Office.
The Democrats had their innings.
1t has been long time since they
had an opportunity to enthuse over a
party victory.
When the first meagre returns came
in, all pointing to Democratic success,
their announcement was received with
silence. They were afraid to cheer,
with the memory of recent Republican
landslides before them. They preferred
to await a later confirmation of the
first good news. When there was no
longer any doubt about the result, the
reading Of each bulletin to the crowd
in the Register Office, was answered
with a good old Democratic shout OF
joy. When the victory began to as
sumo the proportions of a genuine
landslide, a great deal Of enthusiasm
was manifested.
Democrats generally were in excel
lent spirits, while those Republicans
who did not wisely retire early, were
made to swallow liberal doses of the
medicine which they have administered
to me democrats in recent years.
The greatest interest in Wheeling was
shown IN the fights in OHIO and Greater
New York, although there were fire.
quent inquiries about the result in Ne
.braska and Maryland. Democrats here
shared with their brethren in Ohio, the
general desire to retire Mark Hanna
through the election of Democratic
Legislature, and when the returns in
Dictated that their hopes were realized,
there was corresponding show of en-
thusiasm. There was also much inter
est in the magnificent fight made by
Campbell for Representative from
Belmont county. 1t was late when deli
mite information was received from the
voting precincts across the river, and
as all indicated Democratic gains, and
Campbell leading the ticket, there
was another cause for joy
With reference to the Mayoralty
fight in Greater New York, most OF
the local Democrats favored Henry
George, but with his untime!y death
they realized that the movement which
he led also passed away, as it was
generally recognized that his son would
poll only a small proportion of the
votes which would have been cast for
him. With George out of the race,
Democrats here favored Van Wyck,
the representative of the Tammany
Democracy.
