Taxing Burned Whisky.

Taxes nuts be paid to the State Of
Kentucky on the 10000 barrels of
whisky destroyed by fire at the Green
baum Distillery at Midway. just the
same as if there had been no fire, and
the 5000, 900 gallons had not gone up
IN blue blaze and killed all the fish in
Elkhorn creek.
That litigation may result over the
collection Of this tax is the belief of
those in the office Of Auditor James,
and the novel question may have to be
settled by the courts.
Under the Kentucky law whisky is
valued by the Board of Valuation and
Assessment by the barrel The tax
is paid TO the Auditor. The valuation
fixed for the last several years has
been So per barrel. The tax is charged
when the whisky is withdrawn from
the bonded warehouse. The rate was
raised this year to q valuation of SO
per barrel.
The whisky destroyed had been in
the bonded warehouse tor several
years, and the total tax is paid when
the whisky is withdrawn. Under the
law the whisky destroyed will have TO
pay the tax the same as if it were
withdrawn. At least that is the ruI-
ing of the Attorney General, who was
asked for an Official opinion by Audi
tor James.

The Paris Grand.

The crowds continue to flock to the
Paris Grand TO see the good bills that
are being presented nightly, notwith-
standing the orainy weather, the at
tendance for the first half of the week
which closed Wednesday night, was far
above the average.
Fred Jarvis, monologist was a scream
from start to finish, and with a line of
talk, such as he 'gets off, can NOT
help but please the most particular
audience.
Hawley and Olcott presented an uu-
usually smart skit 'Just Married a
Week, in which they draw away from
the regular cut and dried path and
work along lines of their own and oh
tain results which would otherwise be
impossible.
Last night there was an entire
change Of program composed of Fred
Hamilton, eccentric pantomime aero
batic jumper. Mr. Hamilton is late of
the John Robinson circus and seldom
do you have an opportunity to witness
an act of this kind on the local stage.
his act IS one of the most original en-
tert2iners of this kind and his "silence
and fun" cannot fail to amuse you.
Possibly the best act of the week is
j. Fheo. Murphy and Lillian WASH
burn. The Comedy Boomers. Thew
have routine of jokes and short talks
that are agreeably funny and keeps
the audience in high good humor.
Miss Washburn is a sisters Of the ia
nous Washburn sisters, singers. She
has an unusually elaborate wardrobe
and changes costumes for each tperfor-
nance.
Miss Nellie Lovely rendered the Il
lustrated song A Little Cozy Flat
and received the usual applause, which
is always accorded her. The motion
picture, in OLD Arizona" and Sandy
McPherson's Quiet Fishing trip were
very realistic and created a great deal
of enthusiasm.
1t seems that each bill is better than
the one previous and it is not an an
usual thing to see the same crowds
over and over again at this popular
amusement place. for to stay awav
might mean missing one Of the MANY
rare treats that are being offered
nightly.

Why Eve was made from the rib Of

ears, she would have listened too read
