There Is considerable discussion nmong tho members of the state board of equalization as to the meaning of section 28 of the new revenue law pro viding for the taxation of credltw. It has boon the general belief since tho opinion of the court sustaining the act that tho owners of credits might de duct therefrom tho amount of their outstanding obligations, but. 11 is now a proposition which the board of equal isation will have to solve without tho aid of the court unless a now suit Is Instituted. A mcmlyr of tlio court Is authority for tho statement that the decision of tho court proper did hot inuch on the question Of credit taxa tion, merely holding that tho act, as an entirely was constitutional. Tho opinion by tho commissioners hold that the debts might bo deducted from credits, but the opinion was never adopted by the supremo judges, and, consequently, although handed down wllh tho main decision, is regarded as nothing but a dictum of no binding force. Tho board will ask tho attor ney general for an opinion In regard to tho matter, but It Is Intimated that thoro Is a strong likelihood that he, with other members of tho board, will hold that credits are to bo taxed In tho gross without any deductions.

After being Idle for three years tho Nebraska chicory factory nt Schuyler will attempt to rosumo' operation Una season; FOR THIRTY YEARS Congressman IVleekison Suffered With Catarrh Read His Endorsement of Pe-ru-na. ! i- CONGRESSMAN MEEKISON, OF OHIO. Hon o it Amer . David Meekison is well known, not only in his own Stato but through )ric:i. Ho began his political career by serving- four consecutive terms a... mayor 01 ino town m which he lives, during which time ho becamo widely known as tho founder of the Meekison Batik of Napoleon, Ohio. He was elected tstho I if ty-fifth Congress by a very largo majority, and is the acknowledged leader of his party in his section of tho Stain. Only 0110 Haw marred the otherwise coinnlcto succors of this v!sinf Rfntno. man. Catarrh witli its insidious approach and tenacious grasp, was his only v.nconquered foe. For thirty years ho waged unsuccessful warfare against this rirsonal enemy. At last Peru 11 a came to the rescue, and he dictated thofollow 1 g letter to Dr. Ilartman as tho result : " have used several bottles of Peruna and I feel greatly benefited thereby from my catarrh of the head. I feel encouraged to believe that if I use it a short time longer I will be fully able to eradicate the disease of thirty years' standing." David Meekison, ex-Member of Congress. TI1B season of catching cold is upon us. Tho cough and the sneeze and nasal twang aro to bo heard on every hand. Tho origin of chronic catarrh, the most common and dreadful of diseases, is a cold. This is tho way tho chronic catarrh generally begins. A person catches cold, which hangs on longer than usual. The cold generally starts in tho head and throat. Tlionfollowssensitivenessof the air nassacrcs which in-line nm In entelt cold very easily. At last the norsonhas a cold all tho while seemingly, nioro or less discharge from the nose, hawkinir. spitting, frequent cloaringof tlie throat, nostrils stopped up, full feeling in the head and sore, inflamed throat. Tho best tlmo'to treat catarrh is at tho very beginning. A bottle of Portina properly used never fails to cure a com mon cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh. Whilo many people havo been cured of chronic catarrh by a singlo bottle of Peruna, yet, ns a rule, when the catarrh becomes thoroughly fixed, nioro than ono bottle is necessary to complete a euro. Peruna has cured cases innumer able of catarrh of twenty years'stand ing. It is tho best, if not tho only internal remedy for chronic catarrh ih existence. , Butprevention is far better than cure. Every person subject to catching cold should take Peruna at once at the slightest symptom of cold or sore throat at this season of the year and thus prevent what is almost certain to end in chronic catarrh. Mrs. A. Sncdeker, Cartersvillo, Ga., writes: "I saw that your catarrh remedy, Peruna, was doing others so much good. lllill) J. MlOUgllli J. ., would try it and 1 see what it would do for me.
