sMALL PENALTY
VIII be Imposed on the Local
Cigar Dealers, Who Were
Taken in by tile Bogus
StRmn Fraud

Iaken III by Tic Bogus
Stamp Fraud.
The local dealers in whose pos
session were found cigars bearing
bogus revenue stamps will not be
prosecuted. They will be required
to buy stamps to take the place of
those that have been pronounced
bogus and to pay nominal penal
ty. Further than this they will not
be molested.
This is the information which was
given out yesterday afternoon by
Collector A. B. White, of Parkers-
burg, who was here investigating
this matter and several others per-
tanning to this office as collector of
internal revenue.
The exactions to be made of
those unfortunate local dealers who
fell into the trap will be in the
nature of compromise.
"The law has but one meaning"
said Mr.. White, "and that is unmis-
takably. In buying these cigars
the dealers were as matter of fact
entirely innocent of committing
any offense, but technically they
are guilty, and the law on this point
is SO rigid that it will admit of no
exception. Nevertheless, the treas
ury department, which is deter
mining the questions that arise out
of the investigation, is disposed to
be as lenient as possible to the in
nocent purchasers, and offers kind
of compromise. It will require all
the cigars seized to be restamped
by the purchaser and will impose
small penalty. Just what that will
be [ do not know, and would not
be able to divulge if I did know
If the law were rigidly enforced the
purchasers might be subjected to a
term of imprisonment. But there
is no danger of that"
Mr.. White stated that there had
been several hundred seizures made
already in this State and that they
continue to be made right along.
He declined, however, to reveal the
names of the parties. His deputies,
of course, continue to maintain the
same silence as to the names of the
local dealers in whose possession
cigars bearing the bogus stamps
were found Charleston Gazette.

APEUULIAE DISEASE.

CUMBERLAND, May 2.-Cattle in
the neighborhood of Hopeville,
Hampshire county, w. Vap are
afflicted with a mysterious disease.
AS soon as attacked with the all
ment no force can keep them from
rushing to the river, whore they
roll in tho water until they die.
George Williams, employed by
Calvin Ours, tried to-day to keep a
COW thus afflicted from going to the
river, when the animal rushed up
on him and trampIed him nearly
to death, and then plunged through
fence into tho water and was dead
in short time. The animals seem
to be burning up with fever.

An agricultural exchange re-
marks: at is certain that any
crop will exhaust the soil in time,
whether of grain, grass or fruit.
On some farms may be seen or
chards of apple trees ono half a
century old. Every year these
trees have produced fruit, and in
return have received nothing in
the form of fertilizer. 1t is esti-
mated than an ordinary apple crop
removes from an acre of soil about
so pounds of nitrogen, 40 pounds
of phosphoric acid and Is pounds
of potash. When clover is grown
in the orchard the land is bene-
fitted by having its proportion of
nitrogen increased, but it will gain
nothing in mineral matter. The
land devoted to apples should re-
ceive fertilizer or manure every
year,

and research and study, and had
them we'll in hand, and Point Pleas
ant is proud to know that in our
midst are minds and talent that is
in after life to bring honor to the

credit upon the town and the
school that sends them forth pre-
pared for the battle of life.
Where all did SO we'll, it would
be unfair in the Register to make

whatever compliments it has, are
bestowed alike upon the whole
class, and with it goes the best
wishes of the Register for their
success in life's trials, May the
bright life SO auspiciously begun
last night, continue with these no

ment of her or his appreciation

ments of our High School, and the
class was the largest ever gradu-
ated from it.

intricate method of electing a
President through an electoral

millionaires purchasing seats in
the Senate should be abolished as
out of joint with Democratic in
