MORE CIGARS SEIZED.
Dealers Holding the Lancaster Manu-
facture should surrender Them.

Eight thousand more cigars manufac-
tured in Lancaster. Pa, by W. W Jacobs
& Co., and bearing counterfeit revenue
stamps. were seized yesterday.
The dealers VINO bought them are held
innocent OF any intention of fraud, and
the names OF such dealers are held secret
by tho revenue department.
over two hundred thousand cigars have
been seized go this district mp 90 date Of
the Jacobs manufacture bearing counter
felt stamps.
The fraud IS widespread and tho cigars
are being secured in large quantities all
over the country.
The system OF tracing manufactured
goods IS So perfect in tho Revenue De-
partment that AN unconsumed cigars
bearing these stamps VIII be eventually
secured by the revenue officers.
Dealers who bought them viii only
make further trouble for themselves by
trying 20 conceal them.
Those who paid cash for the cigars or
discounted their bills win OF course lose
what they paid for The cigars.
To would be 200 matter or surprise 20
the revenue officers 900 discover that the
stamps have been bought Of the Lancas-
ter firm and placed on cigars manufac-
tured al other points.
