It is the Mother Who Chiefly
Suffers.
She suffers even more thn the child
who happen to be elck. . Her . sympathy
la deeper than that of any other member
of the family.
The mothera look forward with dread te
the torrid heat of summer, thinking- of
their children and the many liabilities to
disease that are before them. Sprint and
summer are sure to bring ailments, eape
ctally among the little folks.
It doee not take a mother very long to
discover that rerun la the beet friend she
has In time of Illness among; the children.
The doctors may come and go with their
different theories and constant change of
remedies.
The doctors of years ago gave entirely
different remedies than he does today.
Each year finds some change in his pre
scriptions and in the drugs he relies upon.
A Oreat Multitude ot Mothers
Have discovered that Peruna Is the stand
by, and that in all ailments of spring and
summer to which the children are sub
jected, 'Peruna Is the remedy that will most
quickly relieve.
Whether It Is spring fever or stomach
derangement, whether It is indigestion or
bowel disease, a catarrhal congestion of
the mucous surfaces is the cause.
Peruna, quickly relieves this condition of
the mucous membranes. Its operation Is
prompt, the children do not dislike to take
the medicine. It has no deleterious effects
In any part of the body.
It simply remove the cause of the dis
agreeable symptoms and restores tbs
health.
Peruna la not a physic. Peruna Is not a
nervine nor a narcotic. Peruna does not
produce any drug habit, however long It
may be taken. Peruna It not a stimulant.
Peruna, Is a specific remedy for all ca
tarrhal aliments of winter and summer,
acute or chronic. ' N
The mothera all ever the Vnlted States
are the best friends that Peruna has.
The Mothers Mold Pe-ru-os In tilth
Esteem,
Not only because It has cured them of
their various ailments, bat because It al
ways rescues the children from the throes
and grasp of catarrhal diseases.
We have In our flies bushels of testimo
nials from mothers wboee children have
been cured by Peruna. However, the large
majority of mothers who use Peruna, we
never hear from.
But we do hear from a great number of
mothers who are so overjoyed at some
pedal good they have received frort Pe
runa that they cannot restrain their en
thusiasm. They are anxious to share these
benefits with other mothers. -
The Benefit which the Children of the
United 5tates Have Received From
Peru as Can Never be Put
Into Words.
The ' chronio ailments it has prevented,
the suffering It has mitigated, will never
be fully recorded.
But at least this much can be said that
the coining generation owes a great debt
to Peruna. for U la in the Under years
of youth that slight ailments are liable to
develop Into lasting diseases, thus blasting
the whole career of the individual.
The mothers who are bringing up their
children today to believe in Peruna. are
doing a great work for humanity.
These children brought up to believe in
Peruna from tbe start, will, when they
become heads of families themselves, use
Peruna with unquesUoiiig faith.

(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, May (Special) When the
State Board Of Equalisation meets In July
to equalise the assessments ot the various
counties representatives of the Lincoln
Commercial club will appear with argu
ments to have the assessment of the big
mercantile firms in Omaha increased. E.
C Bewick, secretary of the club, and
County Assessor Miller were In Omaha yes
terday looking up the returns made by
these firms. They reported last night that
Hayden Brothers returned their personal
property at a valuation ot $207,000, while
Miller & Paine of this city, with a much
smaller stock and store, placed their valua
tion on personal property at 217,000. In tha
opinion of Mr. Miller the Omaha Arm should
be assessed at least four times that of tha
Lincoln firm.
Allen Brothers, wholesale grocers, the
committee reported, had been assessed at
fl 60,000, while Oralnger Brothers, occupying
half of the apace used by the Omaha firm,
was assessed on their personal property at
S1W.000. Paxton 4 Gallagher Is another Arm
that the Lincoln committee complulned of.
This firm Is said to have a stock three or
fcur times greater than Raymond Brothers,
though their valuation was only 1241,000,
while the Lincoln firm returned lta valua
tion at I16S.00O. The Boston store at Omaha,
the committee reported, had turned In its
valuation at flSO.OOO, while Herpolshetmer
had been aasessed at $157,000. The commit
tee found that on the smaller Arms the
assessment was about the same as In Lin
coln. Douglas county's assessor, so the
committee reported, foiled to value the big
Aims nt their full valuation because he
feared they would move over Into Iowa and
sell goods from offices located In Omaha.
The JJncoln Commercial club and the big
merchants are considerably wrought up
over the matter and will certainly ask
the board to make an Investigation when
It meets as a board of equalisation. Should
the report of the committee be correct It
will he the duty of the board, under the
law, to remove Assessor Reed.

I have found It very beneficial for Indiges

cine years old, have taken it tor .colds, as

Kugsworth. should be Increased tbe same per cent. As
a matter of fact. Judge Bears said tha
board should "not" And the value of other
property and If It was Increased five or
tea times, then Increase the value of the
railroads the same per cent. Ha advised
the board to pay no attention to tha value
of other property In arriving at the value
of .that railroads and thai the ratio be
tween the two classes should not be con
sidered. Consider Berllegton Yaleatloa.
The board today has been in executive
session considering the Burlington valua
tion while awaiting for tha supplemental
reports requested of the Union PaclAc,
Rock Island 'and the Missouri Pacific. In
tlje first supplemental report filed by tha
Missouri Pacific It figured out that oa Its
stocks and bonds the road in Nebraska
would be worth about $27,000 a mile and
that figured on Its net earnlnga it would
be about $21,000 a mile. In this connection
the company stated that the Pacltte rail
road In Nebraska, which is a branch of
the Missouri PaclAo, waa not a paying
Investment and was worth probably $10,0U0
a mile, which upon a one-fifth assessment
would be $3,000. It suggested to the board
that a medium should be struck between
the $27,000 and the $21,000 as a valuation
of the Missouri PaclAc, making the figures
somewhere about $20,000 qr $25,060, the com
pany believing that the first figures would
be nearer correct.
The report filed by this company ha
occasioned much work for the secretary
and his assistant, a-.d It will have to be
revised by the company before the returns
are made to the counties and school dis
tricts Inasmuch as It falls to show through
which school districts it runs.

1 Fowler Denies Charge,
Superintendent Fowler has been charged
by a couple of publications with having
made a combination with Tom Majors,
both being members of the State Board of
Education, whereby the new normal school
was to be located at Kearney, tbe scalp
e Superintendent Clark of Peru waa to
dangle and Fowler was to become the
principal ef the Kearney normal. The pub
lication gave It out that Treasurer Mur
tenseu was responsible for the statement
which came out in connection with the
election of J. W. Crabtree aa superintend
ent to succeed Mr. Clark
Mr. Fowler emphatically denies the
charges In this signed statement:
I believe 1 was the original Kearney
man In favoring the location of the a lute
Noiinul school there.
k favored Uie removal of the Institution
at Peru to Kearney until the organis.i lion
of the last house of repiesentatives, wnen
Mr. Uood of Peru was rewarded with the
clialroianslilp of the committee on normal
school. That organisation killed my plan.
Then I favored the establishment ot
a new normal school in the west, to be lo
cated by a committee of the legislature.
In voting on tha location of the school
I favored Kearney almost from the tlrst
ballot, and Mr. Majors came in later on.
1 bad no previous understanding v. 1th any
member or member as to how I intended
to vol.
I have never heard any discussion among
any members ot the board relative to Dr.
Clark's position or his probable successor.
1 have always been as hearty a supporter
of Dr. Clark personally aad of his adminis
tration of affairs aa Mr. Mortensen or any
other' niamber ut the board.
I hafe- no understanding with any mem
ber of the board relative to the Kearney
prlnclpalshlp. Every member thereof is
absolutely free, so far as I know, to act
aa he pleasee in the matter. If anyone
of the board consider nimaelf under any
obligation to me for any reaeon what
soever, I am pleased to thus publicly re
lieve him at Oils lime of such obligation.
It waa Mr. Mortensen. 1 believe, who first
mentioned my name in that cunnection.
I am not an applicant for the Kearney
prlnfipalship, and I still hope that the
tple of we tern Nebraska will believe
that I have worked and am still working
in the interests of their public school
children.
1 have never "fought bitterly" any por

Agent Are Responsible.
Insurance agents who write insurance for
wildcat companies that do not pay losses
are liable to the policyholders for the
amount of the policy. This Information In

such a law. Mr. Pierce believes that if the
agents have their attention called to the
matter there will be less wildcat companies

was called to his attention by a case in

the work. Since then we keep It In the
