A FATALITY AVOIDED.
From tho Democrat, Goshen, 1nd.)

When neuralgia is accompanied by
dull, heavy pain near tho heart, frequently
beco ming intense, it generally terminates
fatally. Mrs. Nancy Flynn, wholives near
Goshen, Indiana, survived such an attack
and her advice is worth needing.
"In the fall of 49," she said, 81 began to
to have trouble with my heart. There was
a sharp pain in my breast which became
rapidly worse. The doctor was puzzled and
put me under the influence of opiates.
These sharp attacks followed one another at
intervals, and became weak and had n
haggard look. was constantly in pain,
seldom slept and had no appetite.
cat tho end of two years was confined
to my couch most of the time and the
doctors agreed that my death was only a
matter of a short time.

Wall Street Hit Hard,


It Will delight the hearts of many per-
sons to know that the "cigarette fiends'
must contribute very largely to the tax
On the 1900, 100000 cigarettes which they
annually consume the tax will amount
10 ebout 100000 more than now. AL
ready the dealers are announcing their
new price lists. Packages of six cigar
cites of the standard cheap brands will
be sold for the same price as packages of
ten are now being sold for. Men of money
who hold seats on the exchanges will
have to pay their share toward helping
Uncle Sam win his fight against Spain
also. The tax on the transactions of tho
New York stock exchange alone will
amount to $1,000. 600 q year and the other
exchanges will pay in proportion. Prob.
ably S. 900, 900 will be raised in that way in
that city alone. The government will get
about 100000 more from the people on
Manhattan island alone through the doub-
ling Of the inheritance tax. which ranges
from 1 per cent on what you inherit
from your lineal ancestors or descendants
to s per cent on the fortune left you by
your wife's uncle's brothers aunt or other
distant relative.
Then there is the tax on the big corpora
lions and trusts to be collected, but they
say they will not pay it, and will fight
the matter in the courts. An attempt to
embarrass Uncle Sam in war time Is u
serious matter. The trusts had better 90
slow and pay their way. The people gen
orally, however, seem quite willing to help
Uncle Sam to raise money.
The tax stamp Of eighty cents on every
81 1000 of life insurance Is expected to draw
s10, 1000 900 a year from the life insurance
companies, but the fire and marine insur-
ance companies will not contribute more
than SIS, 900 a year.
Every vessel of over 600 tons entering
or clearing from any port will have to
pay tax of IS, and this with graduated
charges on the merchandise carried will
yield about $l75.o0O a year.
Landlords will have to give up some
thing, too, unless they add to the rents
of their flats and houses the fifty cents
a wear which must be put on each lease
in the form of q stamp to make it valid.
On a 1900 mortgage twenty-five cent
stamp must be placed, and another stamp
of the same amount must be affixed for
each additional $500. On the basis of last
years mortgages on Manhattan island
the average tax on mortgage will ke

DRAFT OF A BILL CREATING A
SPECIAL COMMISSION.
War Will Be Waged Against AL
Who Make or Sell Adulterated
Goods-Much Power.

An important meeting was held yester-
day In the rooms of the Manufacturers

Attorney Dunno has prepared the draft
of a bill to be presented to the next Leg
islature, the purpose of which is to Gre
ate a State pure foods bureau or commits
sion. Mr.. Dunno explained that the bill
was drawn in the rough from the Ohio
law. It's purpose is to concentrate the re-
sponsibility in the matter of enforcing the
laws relating to this subject. After con-
siderable discussion it was decided to
adopt the draft of the bill. which en-
bodies the following features:
The proposed commission shall consist
of three members, to be appointed by the
Governor from the northern, central and
southern parts of the State. They shall
devote their entire time to the enforce
ment of the laws relating to foods,
drinks, drugs and unlawful labels. They
shall prosecute all violators of the laws,
and all local District Attorneys and
health officers shall be subordinate to the
commission in matters in which pure
foods, etc, are concerned. The board
shall have power to enter or invade prem
Uses where goods, drugs, etc, are sold and
take samples for inspection or chemical
analysis. All moneys from fines imposed
by courts shall be paid to the commission,
to be in turn delivered over to the State
Treasurer for the general fund of the
State.
In addition to making annual reports to
the Governor. the commission will sug-
gest to the Legislature such laws as are
necessary to effect the desired end The
act creating the commission abolishes all
other commissions whose duties would
conflict with those of the proposed COM

A VERDICT WILL BE
RENDERED TO-DAY
JURY IN BECKER REEGAN CASE
LOCKED UP ALL NIGHT.
Second Trial of the skillful Forgers
Occupied Three Weeks and
Was Spirited Fight.

Yesterday marked the close Of the trial
of Becker and Creegan, and at half-past
five Judge Wallace had finished his
charge and the case went to the jury.
Judge Wallace left for his home at
o'clock leaving instructions to lock the
jury up for the night and announcing
that he would not give the case any fur
Their consideration until 10 o'clock this
morning.
The second trial Of the famous forgery
case occupied three weeks. The criminal
conspiracy by which the Nevada Bank
was defrauded out of 500, 900 has attracted
the attention of the entire banking world
the reason being, not so much because of
the size of the swindle as because Becker,
who is known to the police the world over
by the sobriquet of THE Dutchman," has
long enjoyed the reputation of being the
most dangerous forger of bank paper in
the world.
The first trial of the defendants result
ed in a conviction and both were SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment. There was
abundant rejoicing among the bankers
when the verdict of the jury was an
nounceO but 1T was short lived, as the Su-
preme Court sent the case back for a
new trial because the verdict had been
secured by the uncorroborated testimony
of Frank Seaver and McClusker, accom-
plices in the swindle.

Big Seizure of Fish.

The inmates of the Almshouse will to-
day receive a genuine treat in the shape
of some of the finest fish that can be
found in the waters of the river or bay.
The gift comes from the Fish Commits
sioners and consists of ESQ pounds OF
striped bass. The fishermen around the
bay have for some time past been viola
ting the laws by netting striped bass OF
less than three pounds in weight, fish
that when mature run from thirty to
fifty pounds. and which they sold in the
local market.
Deputies Vogelsang and Davis learned
that this lot of fish had been shipped
through Wells, Fargo Y CO. from Giant
station in Contra Costa County and
the seizure was made yesterday
morning. The commission concluded
that 1t would be of no use to
attempt to make any arrests, as
there are a goodly number of fish dealers
now before the courts for violating the
law, and it is only folly to clog the court
calendars until convictions have been Sc
