PULLMAN VALUATION UNSATISFACTORY Rrr. La44ea PwsslMy Mar Be Hem la Tlsac Pmrtlrrpate la Seat Hectlaisi of State Boar I ef Edeewtloau fFrom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. May 3. Hpeclal.) Members of the State Board of Equalisation manifested a dwlre to raise the assessment of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company from $100,000, the figure for last year, and la pursuance of that disposition asked for further statistics showing the mileage of the road. Secretary of State Galusha said that the road la worth much more than It Is assessed at. He pointed out the fact that this is the company which swears that the $S.0no,0OO of paid up capital stock Is worth only 1 cent on the dollar, and that It never paid dividends, notwithstand ing the fact it has a surplus of 138,000. Recently a representative of the company appeared before the board and asked per mission to -amend the statement so as to show the possession of 1.49 miles of main line' track, Instead of the eleven miles acknowledged. He alleged that a green mnn In making out the statement had erroneously Included sidetracks. The board1 has asked for a blueprint drawn to a scale which will show Just what track and what portion of the bridge Is In Nebraska for taxation. Vnder the old revenue law the bridge company was as sessed locally, but under the new statute as Interpreted by Secretary Bennett It must be taxed by the state. The board spent some time considering the returns of the St. Joseph & Grand Island railway, which claims that It was assessed too much last year. Treasurer Mortensen spent some time In computing the stock values and the capitalized' value of the net earnings on a 6 per cent basis with a view of determining Just what foundation there Is for' the plea of over taxation. It was assessed at $5,000 a mile last year. Mr. Mortensen suggested to the news paper men present that they ought to lend a hand at the work, while It is In progress and tell the board how to do It now, and not wait until after the assessment was completed. Pullman Cars I nn Priced. The board considered the statement of the Pullman company briefly, and members commented on the fact that standard sleepers are listed at only $11,000, while the tourist cars are down at $6,700. It was said that some of the roads list their coaches on practically as high a basis. In discussing the reliability of the figures, Governor Mickey said that the board was helpless and would have to accept the sworn statements as to mileage and values, unless It could pay the expense of a man to make an Independent Investigation. The board has fixed the date for the hearing to be accorded the Burlington and L'nlon Pacific for May 18. The Chicago Rock Island & Pacific and the Northwest ern will be heard May 15. Eastern Star Growing. The session of the grand lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star was devoted today to reports of grand officers. The credentials committee reported the presence of 100 delegates.

Ludden, the ab sent member of the State Board of Educa tion, which is scheduled to meet Friday, stating that he is seeking his "clearance papers" so that he can coma west in time for the meeting. McBrlen Is hopeful now that despite Ludden's telegram of Tuesday stating that he could not come before May 11 It will be possible to have the full board at the meeting in order that a principal may be selected. Because of the uncertainty as to Lud den's movements, the attempt to postpone the meeting has been abandoned, and It is said there is a possibility of a selection of a principal without the presence of the seventh member. There is talk of arrang ing a compromise If Gregg aud Majors will consent to withdraw A. O. Thomas, who is also John N. Baldwin's candidate. It Is claimed that Fowler will be elected if Lud den comes. Court Bars Trinidad Asphalt.

Before trait time be was in the mercantile business In A recent development in the medicine business is here made public. Dr. Pierce announces that the women taking his " Favorite Prescription " are going to know just what is contained in it. His "Favorite Prescription" for weak women is not a patent medicine. It is an efficient remedy scientifically extracted from the roots of medicinal plants which cure the diseases and weaknesses of women. At first Dr. Pierce used it entirely in his private practice, in which he made a specialty of the diseases pecul iar to women.! It was so uniformly successful, that afterwards he decided to put it up in a form easily obtained at every drug store. Hereafter every bottle of "Favorite( Prescription " going out from the World's Dispensary laboratory, at Buffalo, N. Y. will have the ingredients in plain English on every bottle. NOT 7i PARTIGLE OF ALCOHOL or harmful drugs is contained in this famous prescription. All women who are af flicted with diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their sex, can with perfect safety take this medicine, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred they will be entirely cured of their afflictions. For more than one-third of a century Dr. Pierce's Favor ite Prescription has enjoyed .a high reputation, for the chronic ailments incident to womanhood. THE PROOF: From long experience Dr. Tierce acquired the knowledge of how to combine the following ingredients in just the right proportion in his "Favorite Prescription" for diseases of woman. This medicine contains the non-alcoholic extract? of the following native plants: Lady's Slipper (Gyprlpedlum Pubescens). Black Cohosh (Gimlcifuga Racemosa). Unicorn root Qhamaslirlum Luteum). Blue Gohosh (Gaaophyllum Thallctroidcs Golden Seal Hydrastis Canadensis.) I? CHEMISTS TXSTiytA PLANTS- XHE REASON : To , meet the many outrageous and wholly baseless attacks of some scoffers, Dr. Pierce has decided to make public the ingredients of this medicine, which is the best tonic for debilitated and nervous women.

The supreme court holds that Fred Qod dard, sentenced by the Chase county dis trict court to nine months in the peniten tiary for wife desertion, Is entitled to a new trial because of deficient evidence, and because the Information falls to state that he wilfully and without good cause neg lected and refused to maintain his wife. The deficiency in the evidence, the court states, lay In the failure of the prosecution to prove that he possessed the means avail able for the support of his wife, or that In lieu of such propertyNhe was able to earn money with which to support her. As to Common Law Marriage. The supreme court denies a motion for a rehearing In the case of Sorensen against 8orensen, from Valley county. Involving the right of the child of an alleged common law marriage to the large estate left by a wealthy farmer of Valley county. The court holds that there Is a presumption of the existence of marriage which arises from co habitation and holding each other out to the world as husband and wife, and public policy will not prevent a child born of such relations from availing himself of such pre sumption In a contest as to his legitimacy. Editor Gets Xew Trial. The supreme court today decided that Sanford R. Rasee, editor of fne Curtis Courier of Frontier county. Is entitled to a new trial. He was sentenced to a year In the penitentiary for criminal libel. The court takes the ground that the lower trib unal made an error In allowing the prosecu tion to question the newspaper man as to the number of times he had been married, whether his first wife was living and many other questions which the court says tended to disgrace him In the eyes of the Jury. Koataky Wins Oae Point. The supreme court has overruled the mo tion of Swift and Company of South Omaha for a leave to file a supplemental petition in an injunction against Mayor Frank Koutsky and the cotinctlmen of the city from the passage of an ordinance vacating certain streets and contracting with the Vnlon Pacific for the construction of a via duct. ' Hotel Coaapaay Liable. The supreme court reaffirms its former opinion holding that the Barker Hotel com pany of Omaha must pay damages to Michael F. Clancy, aa guardian of his son Freeman, who was shot by a bellboy cm ployed at the hotel. Clancy, the boy, was playing In the hall when he went into the room occupied by the bellboy. The latter pointed a pistol at him playfully and acci dentally discharged it. Clancy lest one of his eyes as the result of the shooting. The court holds that It is the duty of a hotel keep to protect his guests while in the hotel against the assuolts of employe, who amlst In the conduct of the business and in the care and accommodation of the guests. If damage result from auch assault the hotelkeepvr is liable therefor. The court follows the line of decision making Bleeping car companies liable for auch Injuries. A dlasenting opinion was filed by Judge Barnes. Brewlag Coataaay Held for Death. The court holds that Fred W. Horst and the Krug Brewing company of Omaha are liable In damages to Nora B. Iewls of Madi son county, who sued for the, death of her husband, alleged to be due to liquor pur chased of a saloonkeeper on whose bond the plaintiffs In error were.
