WILD ANIMAL BOUNTY LAW
Recent Legislative Enactment Will
Go Into Effect July 1st
LINCOLN After July 1 a whole
sale slaughter of coyotes wild cats
and wolves is likely to be carried on
in Nebraska as a result of the new
wild animal bounty law which was
passed by the last session of the legis
lature An appropriation of 10000
was made by the legislature to pay
the state bounties on wolves coyotes
and wild cats Western stockmen
claim that wild animals have greatly
increased on the prairies since tho re
peal of the old law in 1903 and that
the appropriation will probably be ex
hausted on gray wolves alone They
estimate that at least 30000 worth
of county claims will be made in tho
next two years
The bill was introduced by Repre
sentative Douglas of Rock county at
the request of the sheep and cattle
men of Western Nebraska No emer
gency clause was attached and so tho
bill will not go into effect until July
1 The measure provides that any
person in the state who kills any
wolves wild cats or coyotes and who
presents the scalps with the two ears
and the face down to the nose to the
county clerk of the county in which
the animals were killed making oath
thereto shall receive bounties as fol
lows Five dollars for every large gray
or buffalo wolf killed 125 for every
common prairie wolf or coyote and 1
for every wild cat
The county clerk must issue to the
persons certificates of bounties and
when these certificates are filed with
the auditor of public accounts the au
ditor must draw his warrant on tho
state treasury against the general
fund The county clerk after giving
the person a certificate of the num
ber and kind of scalps accepted by
him for bounty must deface the
scalps by cutting them into two parts
so as to separate the two ears and he
must keep a record of the number and
kind by him destroyed
If any person drives baits entices
or brings any such animals into tho
state from outside for the purpose of
procuring bounties on them he shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and may be fined not less than 25
nor more than 100 for each such of
fense
STATE EQUALIZATION BOARD

LINCOLN Will the state board of

Rumors are in circulation that the
figures will be reduced at the coming
meeting of the state board For more

ward a reduction of taxation have
been at work and the corporation
lobbies at the capital expect to see
some results
The Union Pacific and the North
western fear a raise but it has been
stated that these apprehensions are ill
founded It has leaked out that the
figures will not be increased and the
valuation of the Northwestern may be
reduced

PLATTSMOUTH Some of the

A TRAINED NURSE
After Years of Experience Advises Women in
Regard to Their Health
Mrs Martha Pohlman
of 55 Chester Avenue
Newark N J who is a
graduate Nurse from tho
Blockley Training School
at Philadelphia and for
six years Chief Clinic
Nurse at the Philadelphia
Hospital writes the letter
printed below She has
the advantage of personal
experience besides her
professional education
and what she has to say
may be absolutely relied
upon
Many other women are
afflicted as she was They
can regain health in the
same way It is prudent
to heed such advice from
such a source
Mrs Pohlman writes
I am firmly persuaded
after eight years of experience
with Lydia E Pinkhams
Vegetablo Compound that it
is tho safest and best medicine
for any suffering woman to
uso
Immediately after my
marriago I found that my
hoalth began to fail me I bo
came weak and palo with se
vere bearing down pains fear
ful backaches and frequent
dizzy spells The doctors pre
scribed for me yet I did not
improve I would bloat after
eatintr and freauentlv become
nauseated I had an acrid dischargo and
Sains down through my limbs sq 1 could
ardly walk It was as bad a case of female
trouble as I have ever known Lydia E
Pinkhams Vegetable CoiiiikhiikI however
cured mo within four months Sinco that
time I have had occasion to recommond it to
a number of patients suffering from all
forms of female difficulties and I find tlint
while it is considered unprofessional to rec
ommend a patent medicine I can honestly
recomnipnd Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound for I have found that it cures
female ills where all other medicino fails It
is a grand medicine for sick women
Money cannot buy such testimony as
this merit alone can produce such re
sults and the ablest specialists now
agree that Lydia E Pinkhams Vege
table Compound is the most univer
sally successful remedy for all female
diseases known to medicine
When women are troubled with ir
regular suppressed or painful men
struation weakness leucorrhcea dis
placement or ulceration of the womb
that bearing down feeling inflamma
tion of the ovaries backache bloat
ing or flatulence general debility in
digestion and nervous prostration or

ness faintness lassitude excitability
irritability nervousness sleepless
ness melancholy all gone and
want-to-be-left-alone feelings bluea
and hopelessness they should remem
ber there is one tried and true remedy
Lydia E Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound at once removes such troubles
No other female medicine in tho
world has received Mich widespread
and unqualified endorsement No other
medicine has such a record of cures of

Theneedlesssufferingof women from
diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible
to sec The money which they pay to
doators who do not help them is an
enormous waste The pain is cured
and the money is saved by Lydia E
Pinkhams Vegetable Compound Ex
perience has proved this
It is well for women who are ill to
write Mrs Pinkham at Lynn Mass
In her great experience which covers
