What is Cider7

Sioux Falls, S. d., Feb. Especial
to The News: The question as to
what constitutes cider will be deter
mined as the result of the arrest of
A. Sides, proprietor of pool hall at
Clark, who is charged with selling
cider alleged to contain sufficient al.
cohol to bring 1t under the ban. The
defendant was required to furnish
bond in the sum of 5000 for his ap-
pearance at the May term of state
circuit court. The county authorities
now are having a sample OF the cider
examined by chemist, and upon his
report will largely depend whether or
not the defendant can be convicted
when he is brought to trial.

SOHISOH
New York, Feb. 5.-The Jeffries-
Johnson fight pictures, which will be
shown all over the country within a
week after the great battle has been
fought, will be the goose that lays
the golden eggs for the fighters. They
Jeffries wins or Johnson wins. OF
course, we hear that if JEFF wins they
will be worth just so much more, and
tor that reason certain people will

last night:

from me, the moneys in them and
they'll run for years. If JEFF wins the
people will flock to see them by the
millions, They will want to see the
man who broke all worlds records
by coming back and proving himself
to be great fighter he was ten years
ago. They will want to see Just how
Jeffries beat Johnson. They'll want to
to see how Johnson fought, how JEFF
beat down his clever guard and hook,

and fortune. On the other hand, sup,
pose Johnson wins, you'll want to see
the pictures, won't you? Your grocer

ter Johnson's Chances.
New York. Feb. 5.--The all absorb
ing topic in the world Of sports just
now is the approaching ring battle be-
tween James j. Jeffries. retired heavy
weight champion Of the world. and
Jack Johnson, the negro who won the
heavy weight championship from Tom.
my Burns when that game welter
weight succeeded to the title upon
Jeffries' retirement.
AS to be expected Jeffries Is the
favorite in the betting at this dis
lance, but this, in reality, is more by
reason of sentiment, as we have had
no champion so popular as the big
Californian since the day good old
John l.. Sullivan went down before
the shifty youth who fought his way
to the top of the heap to be known
as James j. Corbett, champion of the
world. But the men who make close
study of prize fighters and their form
are not so prone to risk their dollars
on the white man, for they recognize
that a man who has been out of the
dicap to overcome. Then, too they
realize that in Johnson Jeffries will
face strong, shifty and rugged man,
who, if at his best, should stand toe
to toe with him and swap blow for
blow until one or the other is able
to put haymaker across and land
the purse.
While the forthcoming fight SEIZED,
uled for July 4 is in many respects
the most important ring battle that
has been fought in this country, yet
no big fight has drawn forth so much
unfavorable criticism. From this an
gle it looks far more like battle for
dollars than fight for title. The
spirit of commercialism so pervades
the whole scheme that many of the
more suspicious are already crying
fake" and go so far as to say that
1t will be picture fight first and per
haps prize fight after.
The principals and all the parties to
the final articles of agreement framed
up in New York, reports to the con
trary Notwithstanding, rest under the
ban of suspicion, and writer's of sports
have not lesitated to unequivocally
state that two articles of agreement
were drawn up and signed, one for
the fighters, their hackers and promot
ers, and the other for the public, whose
dollars will make up the purse.

known, serves no meats Of any kind,

EXPLORATIONS INCOME.
International Revenue Officer An
swers Inquiries on the Subject.

Washington Dec. 31.--"Where
corporation through its books or
otherwise can ascertain its income
sufficiently for the officers to make
oath to the return as true, this will
be regarded as equivalent to an in
ventory and physical inventory
need not be taken.
"It is relied, however, that in the
cases Of many corporations the in
come for the calendar year can not
be ascertained without taking a ply
sical inventory at the end of the CAL
endar year, and the law being ex-
plicit both as to the period and the
income, where such income can not
be ascertained without physical
inventory, this will have to be ta-
KEN"
This is the veiw expressed by the
internal revenue office in response to
inquiries from corporations who are
finding themselves embarrassed in
making returns in cases where their
fiscal year is not Identical with the
calendar year.
1t is especially important to those
concerns where the question of TAX
ing of physical inventory of mer-
chandise, supplies or other materials
is at stake. The law provides expli-
city that the returns on which the
one per cent. tax is to be paid are
to be made as of the end Of the CAL
endar year. The ruling made by the
office, it is said is to apply only to
the returns from the current year.

COLD WAVE PASSING.
Rising Pressure Area is Moving East

ing Jack Frost Before 1t

Washington, Dec. 30.-The ex-
treme cold which has been sweeping
over the eastern portion of the coun-
try from the tip of Maine to the
keys of Florida is being dissipated
before rising pressure area that is
moving rapidly eastward from the
Mississippi valley. The first modera-
tion will be evidenced tomorrow
morning in the Plain States and the
temperature will rise as the area
moves towards the Atlantic.
Great concern was felt in Florida
for fear that. the fruit farms might
suffer another destructive freeze
such as the one Of 1895 when the
mercury dropped to five below zero,
but the lowest temperature recorded
at Tampa was 2S degrees above. The
temperature reported at Norfolk to-
day was the lowest recorded there
since 1904 and all through the South
reports Of intense cold poured in.

The Night After Christmas,

with Apologies.)
Twas the night after C,hrietmas apd
all through the house
Pandemonium broke loose-no room
for a mouse.
Many pckets were empty; the man.
tie was bare;
Old Nick had skedaddled-nobody
knew where
The children didn't banker for their
snug little beds,
For sugar plums were dancing and
not in their heads.
The din of tin horns, the rattle of
wheels
The thump of the drum, the crack
er's loud peals;
They bring to the sufferer but one
consolation:
A year must elapse ere another Wis
itation.
Who could settle his brain for any
kind Of nap,
With the children all crazed by this
meddlesome Chap!
We welcome the clatter of his reir-
deer's hoof
But it's the clatter that carries him
away from our roof.
Away, st. Nicholas. Away to your
pole
Take Cook and Peary with you and
crawl in your hole.

Let us hope that Alderman Ligon,
chairman Of the police committee, by
virtue of the authority granted him
by City Council, will be able to put
y twist in the tails Of the blind
tigers. The man who will deny that
whiskey is being sold in Sumter by
numerous and sundry persons, is
Willfully ignoring generally ad-
mitted fact. Mr.. Lyon cannot re-
sort to too severe measures to please
the law abiding and law respecting
citizens of Sumter. IT is impossible
yto make prohibitory law absolutely

it to the good name of the city to
spare no expense to makeNthe blind
