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. The reports Indicate there
are 9,000 members in the state and that
chapters are In flourishing condition.
Tonight the grand chapter concluded Its
work iffth the election of officers. The fol
lowing were elected: , ,
Mrs. Sue A. Pace, Lincoln, grand matron;

secretary; Mrs. Carrie Wright, Schuyler,
grand treasurer; Frank Young, Broken
Bow, grand patron; Mrs. Edith Wlnc
brener, Lincoln associate grand matron;
P. Pedler, Loup City, associate grand
patron.
Three hundred delegates were In attend
ance at the grand chapter meetings.
More wi from Lndden.
1 State , Superintendent MeBrien has re
ceived a letter from L. P. 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.
Today Judge Cornish of the Lanca-Her
county district court handed down an opin
ion denying the application of Joseph
Grainger, representing the Barber Asphalt
company, for an Injunction to prevent the
execution of a contract with Hugh Mur
phy of Omaha for asphalt paving. The
court holds that the people of the district
to be paved have signified their desire to
bar asphalt and that the city has the
right to exclude any specific material aa
long as no charges of corruption or fraud
are Involved. The Barber company con
tended thai it had been discriminated
against.
Bereavement at Falrvlerr.
At 1 o'clock this morning John Baird,

his only daughter. In 1884, he has resided

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.

Mast Show Ability to Maialiln Wife.
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
