PAYING The TAX.


Nearly all the cigars seized by the
governments agents in this city several
months ago have been disposed of dur
ing the past fortnight Internal reve-
nue. deputies seized over 10000 cigars in
the spring from the Jacobs factory
3741, in Pennsylvania with counterfeit
stamps.
The dealers from whom these cigars
were seized have been paying the
amounts of the stamp due and getting
back the cigars. If the 1900 now left are
not taken by the dealers from whom
they were seized they will probably be
sold at auction, with the stogies OBJ
tained from Federal IA month or so
ago.
The Italian accused OF receiving these
stogies. knowing them to be unstamped
and not boxed, is now awaiting the
action of the grand jury.
