How, Uncle Sam Levies
Taxes.

One striking feature of the in.
ternal revenue law is that they
never look to quality or value, but
always to oquantity. The tax on
i 900 cigars is three dollars, no
matter whether they are "Ritts.
burg stogies" or the Key West
brand whoseprice is, say, twenty
five cents each. The tax on a
"Pittsburg stogie" is about one
fifth of the retail value; it is less
than one-eightieth the value of
the Key West cigar The coun.
try plowboy who comes to town
Saturdays and invests five cents
lin package containing three
"0ld Virginia Cheroots," pays as
much into the treasury as does
the fellow who buys three cigars
for a dollar. The tax on the
cheapest "twist tobacco" is six
cents OH the poud; it is the same
on the best grade of fine cut. 1t
is about one-third the retail val
ue of the fne-cut.
On barrel of "common beer"
worth four dollars the tax is one
dollar; on a barrel Of the best ale,
porter or beer worth twelve doll
ars the tax is still four dollars.
The man who buys quart OF
Georgia corn whiskey for 30 cents
pays twenty-five and one.halt
cents for the whiskey and twenty
seven and one half cents tax. a
quart of eight-year-old Kentucky
Bourbon, worth at retail one dol.

STARTS TO-DAY.

The iron foundry of the Warren
Machine & Iron Works Co. expect to
turn out their first castings this
afternoon. This new enterprise has
been established in our city without
any blowing of trumpets. A build
ing has been erected for the foundry
in the rear of the machine shop and
during several weeks past skilled
workmen have been busily engaged
In making moulds and doing other
work preparatory to the opening of
the =, foundry. Several orders
for castings have already been re-
ceived. the first one being from F.
s. Doege & Co.. general contractors.
of Thief River Falls. who have
ordered 2200 lbs. Of sash weights.
The establishing of a foundry
means much for the city. as it will
furnish emDlovment to number OF
men. who with rhier families 20 tc
swell the population of the city. It
Is also a splendid advertisement fol
Warren. The ENTERPRISE of the
Warren Machine & Iron Works is Ger
tainly commendable. A few more
such energetic and pushing concerns
would be very desirbale.

shown while In the hospital service.
They had started in the work when
the institution was yet in it's infancy
and it's success problematical. Much
of the success the hospital had
attained was due to the excellent
service rendered by the head nurse
and the other nurses of the 1nstitu-
tion.
The doctor also thanked the
citizens of Warren and vicinity for
the great interest they have taken
in the work of the hospital.
