THE LANCASTER ARRESTS.
Revenue Losses Probably Nenr's
Covered by Indemnity Bonds.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The officials
of the Internal Revenue Bureau are I'M
able even to approximate the amount OF
the counterfeit revenue statement papers
made use of by the Lancaster Pa) cigar
manufacturers who were placed under ar
rest yesterday.
Several months ago the agents of the
bureau received information that there
was something wrong with these facto-
ries, and at once set about uncovering IL,
but they had not proceeded far before
they became aware that the secret-ser-
vice agents were watching the factories
for another purpose and at the request
Of Secretary Gage the internal revenue
officers were directed to abandon the
case.
A special revenue agent from Philadel-
phia is now in charge Of the factories.
and as soon as possible will locate the
supply Of blue paper from which the
stamps were printed. The manufacturers
OF cigars are required by law to furnish
an indemnity bond to comply with the
revenue laws. and it is assumed that the
amount Of the bonds required in these
two cases will nearly, II not entirely,
cover the loss the government might
otherwise have sustained.
Mr.. Moran. the assistant 70 Chief VIII
kie. Of the Secret Service, has returned
from Philadelphia. where he aided in the
arrest of the engravers The evidence
against all OF the parties under arrest he
says, is overwhelming The maximum
term of imprisonment In such cases is
fifteen years under each indictment, and
in most Of the cases, he thinks. at least
four indictments will be sustained by the

This remarkable result Is obtained by the

usually wants TO use instruments or cut into the
flesh, but that IL dangerous, and Injuries as often
as 1t relieves, and IL never cures perfectly.
Mr. Samuel y. Dix, Montgomery Center, Vt.
whose portrait IL above, had been afflicted so
long with prostate disease, caused by structure,
that he had about given up hope of ever hnding
help. He had believed that some time, some
one, somewhere, would discover method that
would cure structure and prostate disease with
out putting the patient through cutting opera
ton. He found that method in the famous
Solvent a lterans. He tried IL In August, 1857,
used 1t Just a month"; and II cured him, after
having suffered for more than Ave years.
The same remedy also cured 4. T.. Macomber,
No. Quincy ST., SOmeryille Dist, Boston, Mass,
and there are probably hundreds OF others. Mr..
Dix was cured year ago beyond the possibility
Of any return Of the disease.
