The Berlin Tageblatt learns from a
reliable source that the German Gov
ernment has decided to introduce In
the ensuing session of the Rechstag
a hill to establish a monopoly OF the
brandy trade. Tho negotiations with
the spirit syndicate are 5 d clared to
be as good as concluded. Under the
scheme 1t is proposed to nationalise
the spirit syndicate In its present
shape and form; the large spirit FAC
tories will be bought up by the empire,
and the smaller spirit factories will
be settled with correspondinsly. The
imperial government offers to the
spirit producers the guaranty to pay
for the raw spirit to be delivered such
prices MS will equal II not exceed those
obtained under existing conditions.
The prices of brandy will be corres-
pondlngly increased. and the addi-
tional cost will therefore, have to be
borne by consumers. 1t Is expected
that the Introduction OF the monopoly
would Yield net sum OF E3.500,0O0
(E-34,s8) per annnm In the first few
years and that the receipts would be
increased in subsequent years

TO Mr., w. c. Warning. Sheriff of Scott

THE last jury in my case was packed
against me and fixed for conviction,
not SO much by the sheriff and his dep
uties Of this county as by the sheriff

the county from which my jury was
drawn. In that trial the sheriff and
mis- deputies of Bourbon county ac-
compnnied the sheriff and his deputies
of this county. and indicated whom tc
summon and whom not to summon for
jury service.
II, there fore. earnestly request you
and through you. Your deputies to so

stand your deputies are gone"
While the court refused to permit
the letter to be made part of the
