IH EIGHT LAW ALSO ATTACKED U.S. DISPENSATORY Stat Board af Health Still la m Draa lock Over "election of m State Health Inspector, hat Electa Secretary. LINCOLN, Neb., June 2 -(Special Tele gram. ) Tlie Union Pacific Railroad com pany thla afternoon filed In the federal court a transcript of the proceedings In the state court for a transfer of the suit brought by the attorney general to re strain the company from Interfering with the operation! of the 2-eent fare law; the freight rate reduction law and from dis obeying orders Issued by the State Rail road commission. With the transcript was a cross petition asking for a restraining order to prevent the Railway commission from putting Into operation the reduced freight rates aa provided In the A Id rich bill and from enforcing the t-cent rate law. ' , The rwrs w- filed by Edson Rich of tha legal department of the Union Pacific and In his petition he alleges that the 2 cent passenger rata Is not compensatory and that should the freight rates be re duced 16 per cent these rates would not be compensatory. He alleged also that to en force such a law would cause Ms road a great reduction In interstate rates, and ha cites as an example the suggestion of the commission that people buying Interstate tickets buy to the state line only. In fulfillment of a promise made by let tor to the State Railway commission, the Minneapolis & Omaha railroad today filed with that body a new 'schedule of freight rttc4 for Nebraska, to become effective July t, reducing all such tariffs IB per cent, as the new maximum freight rate law required. The rates are also made to apply to and from Sioux City, Council Bluffs and Missouri Valley, In Iowa. Ho Health Inspector Yet. Tha State Board of Health thla morning cast fifty-one ballots for a state health In spector and failed to elect and then cast twenty-flve ballots for a clerk to the Board of Secretaries and chose Miss Lulu Carlson of Clarks, Merrick county, for this place. On tha first ballot for a state health In spector Governor Sheldon voted for Dr. Wllmeth of Lincoln, Attorney General Thompson voted for Dr. Mulrhead of Omaha and Superintendent McBrlen voted for Dr. Wilson of Table Rock. For fifty ballots then the governor and superintend ent Stood pat with their candidates and Mr. Thompson voted for Dr. von Mansfelde of Ashland. At noon an adjournment was taken, the next meeting to be at the call of the chairman. Miss Daisy Luis, whi was mentioned as a probable candidate for the position of clerk to the tSate Board of Health, notl .fled Superintendent McBrlen this morning 'that she was not a candidate and even If chosen could not serve Inasmuch as she Is shortly to leave for New York, where she Is to be married to Mr. Morrison, a teacher In Columbia college. Miss Luts was formerly connected with the traveling state library. lnternrbam Files Answer. The Omaha. Lincoln & Beatrice Interur ban company filed an answer with the State Railway commission this morning to the petition of tha city of Lincoln, asking for six fares for 25 cents. Tha Company sets out that It is a railroad and not a street railway and Inasmuch as tha 1-cent fare law provides that no ticket shall be sold for less than S cents It sees no reason why It should be compelled to sell six fare for 26 cents. The company also sots out that It does a very little local business what It does In Lincoln being merely Inci dental to Its real business of carrying peo ple between towns. Assessors Elected This Year. In an opinion handed down today by Attorney General Thompson it Is held that county assessors must be elected thla fall. The opinion, written to L. B. Stlner, county attorney of Clay county, la as follows: 1. Should county assessors ba elected thla fallT 2. Is the present Incumbent disqualified from- holding the ofllce for another suc ceeding termT Answering your ft rut Inquiry, beg leave to slate that, In harmony with the In tention of the legislature of 1805 to pro vide for biennial elocutions, the . statute relative to the time for electing county assessors was in the election law changed from 190T to 1K08 and every four years thereafter. The supreme court. In all of the cases that were brought before It wherein supplemental ststutes as parts of the scheme to create biennial elections were Involved, declared these statutes in Valid. I have no doubt if the statute of 1'JOt had remained unchanged the court would have declared the statute In Invalid which undertook to change the time of election of county assessors from 107 to 1808 and every four years there after, for the reasons assigned by the court in the cases brought to test the statute above referred enacted In the at tempt o fthe legislature of 1905 to estab lish biennial elections. Evidently with this In contemplation the legislature of 1907 'amended the election law to provide for the election of county assessors in the year 1901 and every four years there after, as provided in the original revenue bill. Therefore It Is my opinion that county assessors should he eleu'i In the year 1907 and every four years OTTTreaf tr. Answering your second question, beg leave to state that it is my opinion that the present Incumbent In the ofllce of county assessor Is not eligible to be a candidate to succeed himself. Bar Pats Vs Judicial Ticket. Tha Lancaster County Bar association took tha bit in Its teeth this afternoon and set up a Judicial ticket for the voters of the county to endorse next fall at the pri maries. The bar, with about 100 lawyers present, endorsed for district Judges, Lin coln Frost. A. J. Cornish and 8. J. Tuttle. P. F. Greene was endorsed far county Judge. It took two ballots for Cornish and Tuttl to gs endorsed and Judge Frost pulled through on the first ballot by a vote of out of tha 108 preeent. Among tha tha other lawyers voted for were Judge Reese, Judge Holmes, at present a district Judge; Walter Anderson and a dosen more. The meeting has had the effect of starting things politically and even some of those who aspired to ba a district Judge will go rlrfht ahead with thslr campaigns regardless tha action of the lawyers. Judge Waters announced he expected to be a candidate at the primaries. Just aa though the lawyers sad not fixed up tha slate. Ha la at pres ent serving his third term aa County Judge, fudge Frost and Cornish are on the bench Stow, aa la Judge Holmes. Regent Ernst, of Omaha, was at the state house tonight In conference with Secretary of Stat Junkln and while Mr. Junhln said h did not want to discuss the meeting It Is generally persumed that Mr. JJunkln la getting- ready to refuse to endorse any more certificates Issued by the regents, but will Insist upon vouchers being field with the auditor so that he may know Just what hs la endorsing. The constitution provides that the secretary of state shall pass upon tha vouchers tiled with the aud itor and heretofore the certificate filed with the auditor have always been endorsed by the secretary, but Mr. Junkln has shown signs of wanting to know Just what he Is signing. During the recent legislature some sentiment prevailed for the enactment of a Jaw requiring the regents to file voucher with the auditor but ths law did not mater ialise. The auditor by statuts is required t Issue warrant on certificate filed by the Ma-enta, but thla atatm dowa uwt mention Describes the Principal Ingredients Contained In Pa-m-na. Ar we claiming too much for Peruna when wa claim It to be an effective remedy for chronio catarrh 1 Hare we abundant proof that Peruna is in real lty such a catarrh remedy f Let ns see what the United 8tates Dispensatory says of the principal Ingredients of Peruna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrastls canadensis, or golden seal The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronio rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonio dyspepsia (ca tarrh of the stomach), chronio intesti nal catarrh, catarrhal Jaundice (ca tarrh of the liver), and la diseased mucous membranesof the polvio organs. It is alto recommendod for the treat ment of various forms of diseases pe culiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, cory dalis formosa, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic So also is cubebs classed as a stomachio and as a tonio for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used as a bitter tonio and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a sub stitute for quinine. Oil of copaiba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensatory as a mild stimulant and diuretic It acta on the stomach and Intestinal tract It acts as a stim ulant on the gonito-urinary mem branes. Useful in chronio cystitis, chronio dysentery and diarrhea, and some chronio diseases of the liver and kidneys. Send to us for a free book of testimon ials of what the people think of Pe runa as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it that the secretary of stats has to sign the certificates, The last batch of certificates filed contained one for $340 for stamps for the last month and several certificate fer street car tickets and postal supplies. Un less the board of regents file the voucher with the auditor It Is likely it will have to get a decision from the courts before Mr. Junkln will sign another certificate. Railroad Auditors Protest. General auditors of the various railroads doing business In Nebraska will meet with the State Railway commission Monday to discuss the forms of the annual report to be made by the roads to the commission under the provisions of the law enacted by the recent legislature. The law requires the report to be filed by August 1 and the roads contend this Is an impossibility and that furthermore it Is Impossible to secure all of the Information demanded un der the terms of the law. The commis sion may .at tha conference agree, upon a form a freport which will satisfy It and which tha roada will be able to furnish. The officials claim, however, that the mid dle of September is the earliest time they can furnish the report, aa they cannot compile the Information before then. Demand for State Deposits. Treasurer Brian will have no trouble In depositing all the money h can get to gether at S per cent Interest, notwith standing the Omaha banks will not take the money at that rate and neither will the Lincoln banks except the Farmers and Merchants, which has notified the office It Is willing to pay the Increased rate. Let ters have been received from enough banks out In the state to more than handle- all of the state money to be deposited. The new rate goes Into effect July L Cashing; Gets No Damages. Edward Cushlng has been denied dam ages against two Omaha policemen, Otto Lickert and Carl L. Madsen and their bondsmen, the Bankers' Surety company, for the unlawful shooting and Imprisoning of the plaintiff In August, 1903. A demurrer to the petition by the surety company was sustained jwd the case dismissed as to that defen fx, and this Judgment wa af firmed, uy the supreme court on the ground that section 843 of the code of civil proced ure, providing for accidents on official bonds by any person damaged through the misconduct of an. officer refers only to bonds given under statutory authority. The bonding question was presumably required by city ordinance. A citizen could not, prior to 1906, maintain an action on the bond of a patrolman of the city of Omaha, there being no privity between the plaintiff and tha, surety, and neither the state laws nor the city ordinances giv ing him the right to recover. Holt County Loses Cash. The county of Holt has "failed to re cover 14,619 of county funds on deposit In the Elkhorn county bank at the time of it failure.

The court holds: "In tha absenc of bad faith a county treasurer Is not llabl for depositing county funds In a legal de pository in excess of the depository banks pro rata share of such funds as provided by section IS, chapter 18, article S, com piled statutes, unless the amount of such deposit exceeds the sum which might law fully be deposited under the provisions of section SO.
