WhiSkey Mems Troubles.

An internal revenue officer was il
Jackson recently, to ascertain if
possible whether the stringent regula-
tions OF Uncle Sam in the matter of
lIquor dealing were being violated in
any way. One of these sleuths in the
employ of the federal government
drops in occasionally, unlimited and
unlocked for. They have a plan of
operations peculiarly their own. A
brass band outfit to herald their CON-
ing is not according to their notions.
The visitor in this city lately, so far
as we can learn, found nothing very
muuh out of the way here. 1t is re-
ported that one saloon keeper was
subjected to penalty for doing bust
ness without license in his own
name. 1t must be remembered that
liquor licenses are Issued to the
individual aud not to the premises
a man buying out a saloon is re-
quired to take out new license. He
cannot carry on business on the
license Issued to his predecessor, no
matter If the period covered by that
license has not expired. The revenue
laws are frequently changed, and
liquor men will do we'll to keep
posted on the changes, and thereby
avoid liability to penalties lnsSacra-

were caught in the government net
through ignorance of the law. The
Sunday News explains il IL this wise
1t seems that the revenue laws, as
recently amended, require that when
saloon men or others desire to reduce
the proof of whiskey by the addition
OF water or Otherwise, they may do SC
in the demijohn, but not in the barrel
unless they hold rectilier's license.
No saloon man thinks of needing a
rectilier's license, and, accordingly,
is in the habit OF reducing high proof
whiskey in the barrel by adding
water. The inspector easily found
out this fact. and when he had COM
pIeted his quest quietly disclosed his
Identity. The result is that numbers
of liquor dealers have been compelled
to pay in fines snug sums that will go
to enrich the fat surplus in the
federal treasury. 1t was all owing to
a misunderstanding Of the new reguIa-
tions and not to any discovery of in.
furious authorizations or to any inten-
tion to evade the law. Some of the
best known places in the city have
been caught in the government drag
net and have bad to respond in heavy
fines. Captain John Cook is said to
have been fined $3.50. The Peter
Menken saloon was taxed $3.50 and
Frank Dietrich 500. There we've
several others, but their names could
not be ascertained.
The Inspector does not claim that
saloon men we're guilty of trying to
impose on the public, but only that
they did not follow the letter of the
law III regard to reducing vhiskey in
demijohns and barrels.

There is said to be threatened fuel
famine at the mines hereabouts. The
difficulty seems to be in getting cars
to haul the oil. The Kennedy has but
small stock on hand. The price OF
oil is on the up grade. In Angels oil
has jumped to Sl.15 and 81 per barrel,
which is nearly double the price here
totore. The mines around here are
under contract at fixed rate. How
long the contract runs, We do no
know; but it is likely when tn,
agreement expires, the price of thi
material will be considerably advanc
ed. In some places the mine owner
are seriously thinking of returning tt
wood tor fuel purposes. At 81 pc
barrel for oil it is believed that woof
is the cheaper material at So. 80 pc
cord.
