RECEIPTS
SHORT OF MARK
Some Chance Of Treasury
Estimates Being Reached
at Eleventh Hour.

With government receipts during the
fiscal year 1914 up to and including Sat
urday aggregating s694. JO5,OO7.23 as
against s699, OS4 417.60 for the correspond
ing period of last fiscal year. the total
revenues for the present fiscal year still
had some chance of reaching before to-
night the estimates of s133 100000 made
by the Secretary of the Treasury The
present fiscal year ends tonight. ..
The CORPORATION and income tax were
expected to contribute the greater part
of the difference of more than s3s,o0o.OOo
still lacking yesterday. Payment of
these taxes, not absolutely due until the
last day of the fiscal year. experience
has taught, is largely made at the last
moment perhaps half of the total col
lection.
Millions Are Expected.
On the basis of what already has been
paid in and the face of tax certificates,
it was considered yesterday as not i'm
possible that from $50 100000 to 900, GOO
would find its way into the Treasury be-
fore tomorrow morning from this source.
The customs receipts We're expected to
be augmented s2.O0OOOO. and perhaps
more. What the receipts of the last
two days of the fiscal year for internal
revenues and from miscellaneous sources
will add to the total remains to be fig
ured out
Receipts for corporation and income
taxes Saturday; aggregate s6.627 566,24.
making the total collections from those
sources for the year up to that date
$32, 81. 6S6.S7 The Treasury Depart
ment's estimate of the amount to be de-
rived from those taxes is s75 100000
Receipts From Other Sources.
Figures. including Saturdays receipts,
show the amount of money collected
from customs as $3.50 s91 1855. against
$313, 33S, 57203 last year, for the corre-
spending period. The internal revenue
collections from ordinary sources so far
this year aggregate SS06. 1851. 1851. COM
pared with 1903 o6O, 6o4. 9s for the proceed
ing year. From miscellaneous sources the
receipts were s57,21o. 207.42, against $50
651 S.54 for last year.
Delay in the payment of income tax
doubtless will make it impossible to OBJ
tain a definite figure on the governments
income for some time.
The total assessments returned on per-
sonaI income tax is $50 80, 600, or $23.-
o;5r,. 900 less than Mr.. McAdoo expected to
derive from that source.

POLICE LOOKING FOR MAN
WHO HAD $225, 900 CHECK
Handed Him by Mistake, He Leaves
It in Washington
Bank.

An unidentified italian, who signed his
name L. A. Ceuseise, is wanted by the
police to explain a transaction involving
check for $4,000 he left at the North
Capitol Savings Bank, 731 North Capitol
street, yesterday afternoon. The check
was handed to the unidentified man in
Richmond yesterday by mistake. the po-
lice were told. the messenger who was
told to mail it thinking the Italian was
mail clerk.
The check was given by representatives
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company and was made payable to the
treasurer. whose Office is in New York.
A messenger in the Richmond office was
given the check and told to mail it on
the first northbound train. and when he
reached the station the New York train
was pulling out.
Believed He Was a Clerk. -
Hurrying down the platform. the mes
senger saw man standing on the step
Of a combination mail and passenger
coach, he stated. and thinking he was a
mail clerk, he said, he handed the letter
to him.
Nothing more was thought of the check
until the local bank called the Richmond
Office of the railroad company over the
long distance telephone and inquired
about it 1t appears that the train from
Richmond reached this city at $40 o'clock
and a few minutes later the Italian
reached the bank and left the check.
Detective Cornwell and agents of the
railroad company started an investiga
ton and learned from bank officials that
the Italian had represented himself as
being an agent of the railroad company.
The Italian will not be able to get any
of the S225,OOO represented by the check,
but the police say, he may be able to
get small checks cashed by displaying
his bank book.

self refusing recipes expressed so

ACLERGYMAN'S STORY
Came Near Losing His Life--How He Escaped

We quote from another letter, dated
December 10, 1906: Il praise Peruna
to all the sick. The people know
my case. and they praise it also"
In a letter dated November %.
1909, we quote Rev. Roberts: "Pe-
runa gave me back my life ten
years ago. All my acquaintance
know that. I am certainly thankful
to you for your kindness"
In a later letter, dated January IS,
1910, he says: 'I shall ever in the
speak in praise Of Peruna to all suf-
ferers. I believe my miraculous cure
has been the means of many others
being cured in this county"
From a letter Of September S, 1911.
we quote a few words: Il am still
among the living. AS to Peruna, I
do not feel that have words to ex-
press the faith I have in it's merits
feel that Peruna has been the
means, through the kind providence
of God, Of prolonging my life for
more than ten years.
We quote still later letter, October
81, 1912. He says: al took a severe
cold three weeks ago. / at once sent
for Peruna. Have been taking it two
weeks. I am now better. 1 consider
that Peruna has carried me over a
dozen years Of life. I always stand
ready to answer any question in ref
erence to Peruna."
We quote from his last letter, dated
January 2, 1913: Dear Friends: I
wish this bright New Years to ex-
press my thanks to you for your
kindness. Trusting that you may
have a successful and happy year. and
that your medicine may prove
blessing to many as it has to me, I
am yours as ever, G. w. Roberts,
Hartsell. Alabama, r. F. d. 2, Box
81"
1t is not necessary for US to add
any words to this story. The elo-
quence and pathos Of these letters
are more convincing than arguments
or afidavits. Who can doubt the
clergyman's story? Who can doubt
that Peruna saved his life?

WOULD PERMIT GROWER TO
SELL TOBACCO IN HAND

Representative r. Y. Thomas, Jr.,
introduced a bill Friday permitting to-
bacco growers to sell unstemmed leaf
tobacco in the hand in any quantity
without the payment of any revenue
tax The measure also permits to-
bacco buyers to purchase tobac-
CO of this kind without the payment
of revenue tax, and provides that
sales transactions may take place
without a report to any collector of
internal revenue or other Government
agency. This is legislation that has
several times before been sought by
Kentucky members of Congress.

suffering. I had tried the treatments
of several doctors, also home rem
edies, but they failed and all hope
had gone. My friends, like myself,
thought was in the last stages of
consumption.
''My daughter brought me a bottle
of Peruna and plead with me to try
it. I had got so weak had lost my
voice, and 1 thought it no use. That
was in May, 1902. I began to take
it, according to directions. I wrote
to you, and you gave me your kind
advice.
81 soon felt better, my cough began
to give way, and the expectoration
lessened. I have taken fourteen bot
ties. I feel well, eat hearty, sleep
soundly, weigh as much as ever did,
do considerable work on my farm,
and attend to my other business.
My friends seem astonished at my re-
covery.
81 wish to thank you for your kind
advice and the books you have sent
me. shall ever praise your medicine
and hope that you may enjoy a long
life"
It will be observed that Rev. Rob-
erts waited two years after he began
to use Peruna, before he wrote the
above letter to The Peruna Co. So
that his apparent recovery could not
possibly have been temporary relief

dated September %. 1908 Rev. Rob-
erts says: Il am a great friend Of

advice I am here to-day. able to be
