(From a. Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. May a. gr"lal ) Th Ptate
Board of Equalisation today took up the
Union Parlflc, without having finished tlit
Jtork Island, the members of the board
having found It necessary to secure ad
ditional returna or etalls from that road
before the final value of the tangible prop
erty can be arrived at. This additional
testimony will be presented Monday oy
the tas agents of the road,
A member of the board raid today that
the work of finding the value of railroad
property waa beyond doubt a moat diffi
cult proportion, notwithstanding the enor
mous amount of data furnished" by the rail
roads. This member aiso said It was his
opinion that the board would finally ar
rive at a valuation upon a basis of the
value of the stocks and bonds, and that
there would be no record of the value of
each Item, as the majority of the board
bad at first voted.
No meeting of the board was held this
afternoon because Governor Mickey went
out to Kearney to spend Sunday at 'the
Industrial home, and the rest of the board
members were glad to get a little time to
attend to their other duties. They have
found counting ties almost aa hard work
as walking over them and there Is not a
member of the board but who will be
glad when the final report Is made. .
No Inquest oa Mason.
The body of W. I). Sisson, the Beatrice
brakeman who shot and killed himself
last night, was taken to Beatrice today by
an undertaker from that city. Coroner Gra
ham deciding not to hold an inquest. Mrs.
Barnum, the landlady with whom Sisson
was In love, aald she had refused to marry
the young man, though" he had repeatedly
requosted her to do ao, and that yesterday
afternoon when she again refused him, he
told her that he Intended to shoot himself.
This, with the note Slsson left, made the
Inquest unnecessary. Sisson waa well fixed
financially and his mother, a widow resid
ing at Beatrice, la also said to be wealthy.
His family Is highly respected.
Bumham Freeman, manager of the Lyric
theater, last night met a couple of the
girl waiters from the Capitol hotel, where
he boards, and asked permission to escort
them home In a hack. The girls consented,
and Freeman had the hack drive to a dis
orderly house In the lowlands. When the
girls realized where they were a genersl
alarm for help was se-tt.ln and Freeman
was arrested. This afternoon he plead
guilty to being drunk and acting disorderly
and was fined 110 and coata.
Kew Cartridge Belts..
A sample of the .new com.blna.tlon car
tridge belts with which the regular army
Is now being equipped haa been received
at the office of Adjutant General Culver.
The belt Is a comblntMon of duck web
bing and wire, hooka, patterned aomethlng
like a double bandolier. Its chief merit Is
the combination of broad shoulder straps
supporting the weight of the belt and
haversack together with the canteen from
the ahoulders. All of the fastenings are
made to slide so that no matter whether
the wearer leans to one side or the other
the weight Is evenly distributed. Pouches
just large enough to hold five cartridges in
at; clip are attached to the belt each with a
flap covering held down by a snap. The
canteen snaps onto the belt, while , the
knapsack, which la very large and roomy,
la attached behind. "An effort will be made
to secure these new belts for the guard as
. scon as the regular array la supplied. They
are designed especially to go with the hew
Springfield -rifles with which the . army Is
eventually to be equipped.
' Adjutant General Culver says that the
old-fashioned belt fastened tightly around
the waist causes a soldier much discomfort
on the march and leads eventually to the
Impairment of the health. The entire
equipment of the soldier, weighing many
pounds under the old"plan, must be hung
on this belt. i

gaged In superintending the work of fer
reting out the murderers of his brother.
Ell Feasel, the farmer' who disappeared
mysteriously last November. For a time
It looked aa though the matter defied so
lution, but since the recent finding of parts
of a human body on the farm and a
grave underneath the kitchen of the farm
house, evidence has been steadily ac
cumulating, and Mr. Feaxel says every
thing points to the guilt of the parties
under arrest charged with the murder of
the old man. The search has been a long
one, but the movements of the suspected
ones have been carefully traced until It
seems the web la woven too tightly to be
broken. The parties under srrest are Mrs.
Hutchinson, the housekeeper, her son,
Charles, and Harley Feasel, a nephew of
the missing man. The preliminary hear
ing la set for June IS at Nelson, and by

Draft of the Repablleaa Convention
ProsTrstns Now la Hands of Presl

sloa of Three Days.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. May 21 Secretary Hitch
cock, appreciating the necessity of passing
upon certain features of the' Kinkald bill
throwing open the northwest section of
Nebraska for settlement under the emended
homestead laws, haa turned over to the
geological survey for report thst portion
of the provisions of the bill wherein cer
tain lands which. In the opinion of the
secretary of the Interior, may be reasonably
practicable of irrigation, are exempt from
Its provisions. The director of the survey.
Prof. Wolcott, has commissioned two of
his corps to look over the ground prior to
the date when the bill goea Into effect,
June 28. The Kinkald ltlll provides that
the secretary of the Interior shall, after
examination, exempt from the provisions
of the law whose lands that may be
reasonably practicable to Irrigate by means
of water conducted from natural streams
by gravity, and the secretary shall, prior
to the date when the law goes Into effect,
designate and exclude trom entry lands,
particularly along the North Platte river,
which, in hla opinion, it may be possible
to Irrigate through operations under the
national Irrigation law or by private en
terprise. The law further states that the
secretary thereafter shall from time to
time open to entry under the act any of
the lands so excluded, which upon further
Investigation he may conclude cannot be
practically Irrigated In the manner as above
set forth. Two members of the engineer
corps of the geological survey are now In
the section Included within the limits of
the Kinkald bill looking over the territory
for the purpose of deciding upon the lands
susceptible of Irrigation, and their Instruc
tions are to make as early report as pos
sible In order that the sections reserved
may be posted conspicuously In the terri
tory and at the land office which will hsve
charge of this business, for the benefit of
Intending settlers. -
Draft of Convention Program.
President Roosevelt today received a
rough draft of the program for, the national
republican convention, which meets In Chi
cago on June 22. According to the pro
gram there will be a three daysj session
of the convention. The Wisconsin situa
tion, wherein two sets' of delegates were
selected, will doubtless take up consider
able time before the committee on cre
dentials, aa both the La Follette and Cook
factions are determined seemingly to carry
their differences not only to the conven
tion, but to the courts as well. It la ex
pected Senator Bpooner, one of the con
testing delegates-at-large' from the Badger
state, will present the claims of the Cook
faction to the committee. The program
for the convention contemplates but few"
seconding speeches. The speech nominating
Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency- Is
to be made by ex-Governor Frank Black
of New York. It la expected that second
ing speeches will be confined to sections
and that the speech from the west will
be made either by Senator Dolllver or Con
gressman Robert G. toualns.
THIRTEEN DEMOCRATS AND A SCRAP
Majority Favors Kansas City Platform
and Instrnets for Bryan.
HASTINGS, Neb., May 21. (Special Tele
gram.) Just thirteen democrats met her
today In a county convention to elect dele
gates to the state convention. The fact
that only a baker's doaen were present did
not prevent a political scrap from backing
out. The trouble grew out of some reso
lutions Introduced by George Tibbets which
Indorsed A. C. Shallenberger lor governor
and condemned the republican state ad
ministration. Judge, pungan and Editor
Wshlqulst opposed the resolutions upon the
ground that they were Inopportune and
could have no effect upon the state conven
tion. After a much heated discussion the
resolutions were Indorsed.
The resolutions favored' harmony, but bit
terly opposed "deserting every principle for
which 6,511. 000 democrats have fought to
purchase the tieacherous co-operation of
133,000 allies." The Kansas City platform
was Indorsed and delegates Instructed for
William J. Bryan for delegate-at-large t,o
the national convention, and the delegates
were instructed to oppose "alt candidates
who opposed democracy aa laid down by
Thomas Jefferson and repudiated by Grover
Cleveland." The republican state admin
lstratlon was condemned for its subserv
iency to the railroads snd Governor Mickey
for Improper use of his office.
The delegates to the atste convention are:

Acts Like Oxygen
Liquozone is not made by compound
ing drugs, nor is there any alcohol In It.
Its virtues are derived solely from gas
largely oxygen gas by a process which
requires Immense apparatus and 14 days'
time. Each cubic inch of Liquozone
represents the virtues of 1.2.TO cubic
inches of the gas. The process by
which these virtues are concentrated into
liquid, stable form has leen the constant
subject of scientific and chemical re
search for more than 20 years.
The result is a product which does
what oxygen does. Oxygen is the
nerVe food, the blood food, the scavenger
of the blood. It is tlie very source of
vitality, the most essential 'element of
life. Hut oxygen Is a gas and unstable,
while Liquozone is fixed and concen
trated. It gets an excess pf oxygen
virtues into the blood, to go wherever
the blood goes. The result Is a vitaliz
ing tonic with which no, other-known
product can compare. " "

well, Okl. Dr. Waggoner is a member of
Liquozone; and
body without killing the tissues, too.
There is nothing else known which will
do that. Any drug that kills germs is
a poison, and. it cannot be taken inter
nally. For that reason medicine is
practically helpless In any germ disease.
Liquozone Is so certain that we pub
lish on every bottle an offer of $1,000
for n disease germ tlint it cannot kin.
The reason is that germs are vegetables,
and an excess of oxygen the very life
o' an animal i oeadly to Tegetable
matter. Liquozone Is certain destruc
tion to germs, yet to the human body it
Is the most helpful thing in the world.
There Is no other way to end the cause
of any germ disease.
Germ Diseases
These are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do -for these
troubles is to help nature overcome the
germs, and such results are Indirect and
uncertain. Liquozone kills the germs,
wherever they are, and the results are
inevitable. By destroying the cause of
the trouble it invariably ends the dis
ease, and forever.
