LIQUOR DEALERS' TROUBLE.
The
Stamps on Empty
Barrels Not
Destroyed.
Several of the liquor dealers of the
tlty were on Monday served with a
notice ordering them to appear before
Collector Grunt Herring and answer to
the charge of not having destroyed the
revenue stamps on the barrels of liquor
when empty. Those wno reeeiveu no
tice were Louis Kekkop. D. Finnegan,
ft! .T. Alello. J. B. -MeTlKhe and J. IH,
liyrne. These notices caused quite an
excitement among the men who sell
liquor In Carbondale.
Two weeks ago Special fiauger D.
r..ol of Philadelphia, was In the city.
this pluce being one of those In the
Twelfth Revenue district which he was
ordered to investigate to see If the
liciuor dealers upheld the law. as a re.
suit, eight of the local dealers were
served notices for railing to oouieruie,
efface or destroy all stamps on empty
barrels.
This failure to keeD the law Is a seri
ous offense, and for which the offender
Is liable to be prosecuted In the I nlteu
States courts and may receive a nea
punishment if convicted.
(However, as it Is more often through
tieglect and carelessness than for any
criminal purpose that the stamps are
not destroyed, ami for this reason
when a case of the kind Is reported the
fact Is given to the collector and It de
pends upon him whether the persons
will be prosecuted or whether the case
Is compromised.
When Mr. Cool visited the cellars of
our leading liquor dealers In eight of
them he found casks with the stamp
still undestroved. It Is his duty to re-
port all such cases at once, without
listening to any defense on the part of
the person accused.
The men were all on hand at the
time appointed, and the cause for not
destroying the stamps explained. All
said It was due to carelessness or for-
cetfulness and Collector Herring evl
dently believed them, for after hearing
the story of each he decided to com
promise the cases.
Some of the dealers think that the
Investigation Is part of a well laid
scheme, and are very Indignant. They
say that they will repay the persons In
the near future with something equally
as undesirable.

It ran down the hill at a frightful speed,

TO OUR PATRONS .
Washburn-Crosby Co. wish to assure their many pats
rons that they will this year hold to their usual custom
of milling STRICTLY OLD WHEAT until the new crop
is fully cured. New wheat is now upon the market, and
ovviiiK to the excessively dry weather many millers aro
of the opinion that it Cs ulready cured, and in proper
condition for milling. Washburn-Crosby Co. will tako
no risks, and will allow the new wheat fully three
months to mature before grinding.
This careful attention to every detail of milling ha
pluced Washburn-Crosby Co.'s flour far above other
brands.
