Barque Lincelles Pensacola Fla
writes
have suffered for several years
with chronic catarrh of the stomach
The doctors prescribed forme without
my receiving the least benefit Through
one of your pamphlets I began the use
of Peruna and two bottles have en
tirely Cured me I recommend Peruna
to all my friends O Bertoletto
In catarrh of the stomach as well as
catarrh of any part of the body Peruna
is the remedy As has been often said
if Peruna will cure catarrh of one part
it will cure catarrh of any other part of
the body
Catarrh is catarrh whever located
and the remedy that will cure it any
where will cure it everywhere

My Dear Doctor It gives me pleasure
to certify to the excellent curative qual
ities of yourmeu
ieines Peruna
and Manalin I
have been af
flicted more or
less for a quarter
of a century with
catarrh of the
stomach and con
stipation A resi
dence in Wash
ington has in
creased these
troubles A few
bottles of your
medicine have
given me almost complete relief and I
am sure that a continuation of them
will effect a permanent cure Peruna
is purely a wonderful remedy for ca
tarrhal affections J D Botkin
This is a case of catarrh of the stom
ach which had run for twenty five
years according to his statement and
Peruna has at once come to his relief
promptly accomplishing for him more
benefit than he had been able to find
in all other remedies during a quarter
of a century
It stands to reason that a man of
wealth and influence like a Congress
man of the great United States has left
no ordinary means untried and no stone
unturned to find a cure
If such cures as these do not verify
the claim not only that dyspepsia is due
to catarrh of the stomach but also that
Peruna will cure catarrh of the stomach
it is impossible to imagine how any
evidence could do so
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr Hartman giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis

BRAVE GIRL SAVED TWO LIVES
Tale of Heroism and Fortitude Come
From England
Perhaps tis even harder to be
brave and calm in the midst of the
suffocating smoke and dreadful heat
of a burning building than to face
the raging sea But not so very long
ago we had an Instance of calm de
cision and thoughtfulness for others
on the part of a young girl at a mo
ment when the dreadful danger of
being burnt alive would make most
people frantic with fear Alice Ayres
lived with some relatives in a house
in Southwark and one night awoke
to And the building in flames and
that escape by the staircase from the
floor on which she and the children
slept was impossible She did not
however lose her head or think of
herself alone First she threw out
of the window a bed which the crowd
below caught and held and into this
bed she threw one after another the
three little children Two of them
were safely caught unhurt but one
sustained a fatal injury in striking
against some projection from the
house Then the brave girl sprang
out herself but being already half
overcome by the heat and smoke she
missed the bed fell on the pavement
and hurt her spine so that she died
shortly afterwards in the hospital
She had however saved two lives
and set an example of courage and
unselfishness in danger

OSCAR A DEMOCRATIC KING
Ruler of Sweden and Norway Occa
sionally Relaxes Dignity
In these days when the camera
misses nothing it may seem hardly
credible that there is only one king
in the world who has been photo
graphed wearing his crown Yet it is
so King Oscar is the exception No
more democratic king sits on a throne
than he and his memoirs which he
is writing for posthumous publication
will probably be more appreciated by
ordinary folk than the memoirs of
royalty usually are They -will tell
perhaps on the authority of the king
himself of his meeting with M Gas
ton Bonnier tne famous botanist
whom the king met botanizing near
Stockholm when out himself on a sim
ilar occupation Their mutual inter
est led to conversation and M Bon
nier not recognizing the king sug
gested a lunch at an inn No come
home with me said King Oscar and
as they reached the palace gate the
famous botanist realizing the identity
of his friend begged a thousand par
dons and became reluctant to enter
Im sorry said his majesty but I
happen to be the king of this country
and this is the only place Ive got to
entertain anybody in M Bonnier
was at his ease and the two went in
and talked botany for the rest of the
afternoon
FLOWERS OF FISH SCALES
Novel Art Turned to Good Account
by an Adroit New York Woman
There is a woman in New York who
keeps a shop not far from the
where she pursues the
novel industry of making fish scale
flowrers and leaves The denizens of
the oceans in the tropics are notable
for the color and brilliancy of their
scales and fins the range of chro
matic tints including pink rose scar
let sky blue ultramarine apple green
emerald olive gold orange gray li
lac and purple The scales are easily
fastened together or to wires with a
strong fish glue which is singularly
durable The industry passed to the
West Indies where it was adopted by
the Spaniards andvduring the Cuban
war came over to the mainland and
found a home in Florida
The finished flower possesses a fan
tastic beauty which is unique The
shape and color of the vegetable
world are present but there is a cer
tain transparency to all the tissues a
firmness to the lines and resilience
to the leaves and blossoms which are
never found in the floral kingdom
The New York woman is making
quite a success of her trade
MULES THAT OUTLAST MOTORS
Forty Years of Service Is Nothing
Extraordinary
The mule is ready to begin work
two or three years earlier than the
horse He can be put to pretty heavy
pulling when he is three years old and
from that time until he is forty If he
has fair treatment and does not meet
with an accident he is not likely to
lose any time He is not subject to
the many ailments to which the horse
is a victim at least not to any great
degree He lives about twice as long
and his actual period of usefulness is
nearly three times as long for the
horse is really not fit for heavy ser
vice until he is five years old or after
he is twenty while a mule will often
do good service for forty years and
they have been known to work fifty
according to one writer without being
turned out at any time during all the
long period
Like the ass the mule will live upon
next to nothing and during all his
forty years of hard service a mule will
not require and generally does not
get half the feed necessary to sustain
a horse during his much shorter pe
riod of usefulness

Will it Pay to Attempt Freak Taxation
Reason for Comparison with Other States
In the bulletins which have immediately preceded this we have given the details of taxes paid by the rail
roads of Nebraska and the amounts they have paid in the several counties of the State and it will be noticed that
in the footnotes which accompany the figures given there is a line of comparisons showing what other states
have done in regard to the taxation of railroads which run through their commonwealths In the matter of
taxation as in any other business matter the people of Nebraska desire to and naturally should keep in line
with what is done in other states No greater disaster could occur to the State of Nebraska than if by ill-advised
action it should throw itself out of line regarding matters of taxation of corporate property or of any
property
It may be a taking proposition for a demagogue to advocate the over taxing of railroad comranies and
thereby work a hardship against them that would not accrue to other lines of property within the State but it
would be an advertisement that would pass through the whole United States proclaiming that the people of
Nebraska did not intend to be as fair with capital as other states of the Union It would roroduce here in
Nebraska that prejudice which took Kansas a term of at least ten years to dispel
The comparisons which we have made in these foregoing statements include every state in the Union
with the exception of Massachusetts In Massachusetts New York and several other states laws have been
passed which work a hardship against railroad corporations In New York the onerous tax paid by the New
York Central railroad is being tested in the courts its ill advised law is working a hardBhin against that road
while not injuring the others in the Stats to any extent In Massachusetts through a contract made in the
early days between the corporations and the State and their excise laws the taxes are out of line with what is
done in other states and there is a general movement among the business people in that State looking to the
correction of this abuse
In Harpers Weekly of February 15 1902 the following is an extract from an editorial in regard to this
matter
There is a very strong movement in the State of Massachusetts for rational corporation laws The com
monwealth is waking up to the fact that under its present laws large modern corporations cannot be organized
in tho State and Massachusetts capital Is seeking investment elsewhere Not only the corporation law is re
strictive and narrow but the tax laws are as unreasonable as those of New York Both states tax all the
property of a corporation wherever it is situated and this is double taxation An effort is being made
in New York and will be made in Massachusetts to put an end to this system of double taxation There is a
feeling abroad that New Jersey should not remain the refuge of all combinations which want liberal treatment
In Wisconsin it appears that they have an entirely different form of taxation for railroad corporations from
other states as the taxes are collected in the form of an excise tax being collected on the gross earnings of
the companies In such a way that while the tax is heavy on those roads which have a large earning capacity it
is very light on those which are operating at a loss This form of taxation looks fair but it would not be
popular in Nebraska because all of the taxes charged against railroad corporations in Wisconsin are turned
into the State Treasury and they are relieved from paying taxes locally alcng their lines In the poorer counties
of Nebraska this would mean practically bankruptcy In Wisconsin ther is a general movement looking to
wards a change in the form of taxation After having tried a law something of the same character of Wiscon
sin Michigan has returned to the direct form of taxation
This whole subject of the payment of taxes on the part of the railroad corporations resolves itself into a
question as to how much of their revenue should be diverted to this purpose
If the taxes were out of reason it would place Nebraska in an unenviable light before all investors
For political reasons a few men have made themselves prominent by advocating a system of double taxa
tion of railroad property in the State but when the people once understand what is done and how it is done
we do not believe their efforts will avail
The railroads of Nebraska up to the present time have not earned an undue amount on the investment
made for a series of years there was no profit derived from the investment as a whole on Nebraska railroads
and while during 1900 two of the railroads paid a fair dividend on the capital invested very manv of the rail
roads in the State failed to render any returns whatever to thei r owners
Nebraska has not as yet got the population nor the completed system of railroads which would warrant
this State in imposing such obligations on the corporations which now exist that would drive all future in
vestors in such property from the Sate
The figures which have been given are all from reliable data which can be investigated bv anyone so dis
posed the averages per mile being from the report of the Inter State Commerce Commission and the details of
the business of the different roads are taken from their official reports while the figures here in Nebraska aro
taken from the Auditors offices of the different railroads
We will now continue our comparisons with other property in the State showi g some remarkable facts
concerning the changes in values in various counties and how by these changes the railroads have been obliged
to carry more than their proportionate share of taxation
