Witnesses Testify to Seeing Tucker

FORT MADISON, Iowa, April l.
me preliminary hearing of Chas. A.

IS being held here Although the

Inc prisoner over to the grand jury.
Inc trial is being heard before Justice

state and R. N. Johnson and Go B.

rive Witnesses were examined. Sew
efal testified to the fact that Tucker
was struck over the head by Steen
with an instrument, although one or
TWO were not sure what this instru-
ment was. The testimony of the doc
LOT tlat Geo. Tucker came to his death
pY blow on the head, was admitted
and seemingly clinches the case
against Steen as to his being held
over.
The defense attempted to question
the right of more than one doctors
testimony, but that was overruled and
another physician will be called in to-
morrow. There are yet two witnesses
to testify.
From present indications Steen will
undoubtedly be held over to the grand
jury.

EXPENSIVE TO
TOBACCO USERS
Little "Joker' in the Revenue Bill
.s,, Discovered by Representative
Dawson Of Iowa.

WASHINGTON, April What is
designated as 'joker' that cost the
consumers of tobacco of this country
nearly s45000,000 was found today in
the existing revenue laws OF the
United States by Representative
Dawson, of Iowa, who at once intro
duced a bill to correct the error.
ender the Dingley tariff law two
ounce packages of tobacco sell to the
consumer at five cents each and four
ounces at ten cents. In 1898 the war
revenue tax of six cents a pound adj
ditional was levied on tobacco. At the
same time, in order to serve the con
yenience OF the trade. the authoriza-
ton was given for the reduction of
sizes of packages from 2. 8, and 4
oHEccs to %, 2 IL md 1-3 ounces,
thus enabling the smoker to procure
five cent and ten cent package of
tobacco "at the store"
In due time the war revenue tax
was repealed. Somebody forgot, Daw.
sea believes, to restore the packages
Of tobacco to the original sizes, and
hence ever since 1902 the consumer
OF tobacco has been paying the equiv.
alent of the war revenue tax to manu-.
lecturers of tobacco.
According to figures obtained from
the commissioner of internal revenue
over thirty-two billion 2-3 ounce
packages have been sold during the
past six years, and over twelve billion
packages of the 3 1-3 ounce size. Daw
son figures out the purchaser of each
package has been mulcted out of one
cent and the purchaser of the larger
OF two cents, and hence the Joker
mas cost the consumer almost S45,
100000.
Dawson's bill proposes to restore
the packages to the original sizes.

4 Scene Not in a PLAY.

An extraordinary scene took place In
the Princess Theater. London, on the
night OF the first production of Charles
Reade's great play Never Too Late
10 mend" Oct. 4. 1865. During the
prison scene a large quantity OF water
was thrown over Miss Moore. who took
the part of Josephs. the character done
TO death by the warders. One of the
critics Mr.. Tomlin, of the Morning Ad.
vertiser. rose from his seat and pub.
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost a riot
among the audience. and the action of
the play was stopped for some consid.
cradle time Fuel was added to the
fire by George Vining. the lessee Of the
theater. who was playing the part Of
Tom Robinson and who made a most
imprudent speech, in which he prac
tically insulted every critic present
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
many months. The play. however
turned out TO be a popular success
