YOU'LL PAY THE FIDDLER. A Brief Review of the War Revenue Bill Just Passed. While the brave boys who have vol unteered in Uucle Sam's army are sweltering in far away Southern camps or facing the treachery of Spanish guerillas and the naval forces are passing sleepless nights aboard the proud battleships, you, all of us, each and every individual in this broad land, are made members of the "home guard." In other words, to use a time honored expression: While the boys dance you must pay the fiddler. The act entitled "an act to provide ways and means to meet war expendi tures, and for other purposes" was passed on the 0th of tthis month and nothing has escaped its argus eyed framers. In the first section and with out preliminaries, immediately follow ing the enacting clause, the tax on. beer, lager beer, ale, porter and other similar fermented liquors, brewed or manufactured and sold, or stored in warehouses, or removed for consump tion and sale, within the United States, by whatever name such liquors may be called, for every barrel containing not more than thirty gallons, is doubled two dollars 'instead of one and a like rate for any other quantity or for the fractional parts of a Tiar rel. SPECIAL TAXES. Bankers using or employing not ex ceeding twenty-five thousand dollars shall pay fifty dollars; those using exceeding that amount two dollars for every one thousand. Brokers shall pay fifty dollars. Pawnbrokers shall pay twenty dol lars. Commercial brokers shall pay twen ty dollars. Custom-house brokers shall pay ten dollars. Proprietors of theaters, museums, etc., in cities having over 25,000 in habitants shall pay one hundred dol lars. Proprietors of circuses shall pay one hundred dollars in every 6tate they exhibit. Public exhibitions or shows for money ( not enumerated ) shall pay ten dollars in each state in which they exhibit. Bowling alleys and billiard rooms are taxed five dollars for each alley or table. TOBACCO, CIGARS, ETC. In lieu of the present tax there shall be levied and collected a tax of twelve cents per pound on manufactured to bocco and snuff. On cigars and cigarettes a tax of three dollars and sixty cents per thou sand. All stock of tobacco and cigars or cigarettes in excess of twenty thou sand are liable for assessment and taxation. After providing means for the as sessment and collection of the forego ing, follows a long list of special taxes on tobacco dealers and manufacturers to be computed on the basis ;of the annual sales for the preceding fiscal year. Until the special stamps are prepared and furnished, the stamps heretofore used may be imprinted with a device to denote the new rate of tax, and used. ADHESIVE STAMPS. Under this head follows provisions for stamping all kinds of bonds, deben tures, certficates of stock and of in debtedness and other documents, in struments, matters, and things men tioned and described in Schedule A; also medicines, preparations, mat ters, and things mentioned and de scribed in Schedule B. Heavy penalties are prescribed against all who do not comply with the provisions of the act,or who forge or counterfeit any stamp, die or plate. Where adhesive stamps are used the person using or affixing the same shall write or stamp thereupon the initials of his name and the date upon which the same is used or attached. STAMP TAXES. ' Ob the first day of July the stamp taxes go into effect. We will in this hasty review notice one or two of the items which most concern our people. First there is each "bank check, draft, or certificate of deposit not drawing interest, or order for the payment of any sum of money, drawn upon or is sued by any bank, trust company, or any person or persons, companies, or corporations at sight or on demand, two cents." That means that -upon every check you draw, no matter what the amount, t.r-.naactins your everyday business, you must buy and attach a two-cent provided and sold by tne gov erament as stamps are sold for mailing letters. All who fail to apply these stamps will be deemed guiuy oi .nd uDon conviction fined not less than S50 and imprisoned not less than six months. Bills of lading and receipts from HAVY DEPARTMENT PUZZLED Sailing of Cadiz Squadron Puts Them All At Sea. SHARER'S TRANSPORTS SIGHTED Hurrying Equipment of Troops, Spanish Ship Escapes To Keep An Eye on Cervera. By Wire to The Telegram. Washington, Junel8 The navy de partment is nonplussed by the re ported sailing of Camara's Cadiz squadron. The fact that the squadron has troops aboard is taken as an indi cation, that it is bound for the Cana ries. But whether it is intended to bombard our coast cities afterward is a mystery. The administration is of the opinion that such is not its inten tion. The strategy board attributes its sailing to a purpose on the part of the Sagasta cabinet to influence pub lic opinion in Spain and elsewhere. MAY ARRIVE THIS EVENING. Mole St. Nicholas, J une 18 General Shafter's fleet of transports, convey ing troops, has been sighted off Cape Maysi and it is expected they will reach Guantanamo bay this evening. EQUIPPED FOR ACTION. Camp Alger, June 18 Nne of the regiments encamped here have been ordered to equip for active service im mediately. The date of their depart ure has not been announced. PTJRISIMA CONCEPCION ESCAPES. Kingston, Jamaica, June 18 A des patch received herefrom Manzanillo, a port on the southern coast of Cuba, about 100 miles east of Santiago de Cuba, announces the arrival of the Spanish steamship Purissima Concep cion at that port. The Purissima Concepcion sailed from this port two days ago laden with food supplies and bound for Havana. She has aboard 1100,000 in gold in addition to the supplies of provision. AN EYE ON CERVERA. Washington, June 18 Sampson and Shafter have -been instructed to keep an eye on Cervera and to inform Gen eral Pando that he will be held re sponsible for the safety of Hobson and his men. AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Washington, June 18 There is an important war conference in session at the white house this afternoon. The conference is between the president General Miles, the board of strategy and Secretary Long. STORY FROM MADRID . Madrid, June 18 An official des patch from Santiago says that on the sixteenth an American cruiser and yacht fired on the Punta Gabara for tifications and then went to Santiago, in the meanwhile dispatching launches with landing parties which General Aldea repulsed without loss. The ships then retired. freight and express companies shall contain each, duly attached and can celed, a one-cent stamp. And so on throughout the complete list of everything conceivable, almost, used by men in business, there is a duty, revenue or tax attached. And it is arranged so that in almost every in stance, the consumer pays th2 bill. The tobacco manufacturers are allowed to reduce the size of the package as will be seen from the provision which says: That in lieu of the two, three, and four ounce packages of tobacco and snuff now authorized by law, there may be packages thereof con taining one and two-third ounces, two and one-half ounces, and three and one-third ounces, respectively, and in addition to packages now authorized by law, there may be packages con taining one ounce of smoking tobacco. The bill is a sweeping document and nothing is slighted. Evidently a searchlight more powerful than that used aboard the battleships was used in its preparation. It comprises fifty one sections and makes twenty-five pages of closely printed matter, and went into effect on the day next suc ceeding the date of its passage except as otherwise specially provided for. I was seriously afflicted with a cough for several years, and last fall had a more severe cough than ever before. I have used many remedies without receiving much relief, and being rec ommended to try a bottle of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, by a friend, who, knowing me to -be a poor widow, gave it to me, I tried it, and with the most gratifying results. The first bot tle relieved me very much and the sec ond tottle has absolutely cured me. I have not had as good health for 20 years. Respectfully, Mrs. Mary A. Beard, Claremore, Ark. Sold by C. E.

To be successful one must look ahead and plan ahead so fettat when a favorable opportunity presents itself he is ready to take advantage of it. A little forethought will also save much expense and valuable time. A prudent and careful man will keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the shiftless fellow will wait until necessity- compels it and then ruin his best horse going for a doctor and have a big doctor bill to pay, be sides; one pays out 25 cents, the other is out a hundred dollars and then wonders why his neighbor is getting richer while he is getting poorer For sale by C.
