First Presbyterian Church of Green flMIE day was when men of promi I nence hesitated to give their testi monials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true to-day of most propietary medicines, lint I’e runa lias become so justly famous, its merits are known to so many people of high and low stations, that no one hesi tates to see his name in print recom mending Peruna. Tile highest men in our nation have given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men representing all classes and sta tions are equally represented. A dignified representative of the Pres byterian church in the person of Uev. E. O. Smith does not hesitate to state publicly that he has used Peruna in his family and found it cured when other remedies failed. In this statement the Rev. Smith is supported by an elder in his church. Rev. E. O. Smith, pastor of the Presby ter; an church of (Jreensboro.Ua., writes: “Having used Peruna in my family for some time it gives me pleasure to testify to its true worth. “My little boy seven years of age had been suffering for some time with ca tarrh of the lower bowels. Other rem edies had failed, but after taking two bottlesof Peruna the trouble almost en tirely disappeared.

Mr. M. .T. ltossman, a prominent mer chant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder in the Presbyterian church of that place, has used Peruna, and in a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., of Colnmbus, Ohio, writes as follows: “For a long time 1 was troubled with catarrh of tlie kidneys und tried many remedies, all of which gave me no relief. I’eruna was recommended to me by several friends, and after using a few bottles 1 am pleased to say that the long looked for relief was found and / am now enjoying better health than / have for years, and can heartily recommend Peruna to all similarly afflicted.

Address ~Ul b. 19th bt., Omaha THE COMING JOURNAL WHAT NCWSPAFERS OF THE FU TURE WILL BC LIKE. -.— A Merging of the Magazine and the Daily Paper Seem3 the Most Prob- , able—Some of the Signs Which Point to This End. They had been speaking of the news paper of the future, how it would he made, the time that would be saved in making it and the more artistic shape it would assume as the result of im proved methods of doing newspaper work in the mechanical departments. "One curious feature of the business, said one observant m jmber of the group, “is the fact that the daily news paper is showing a tendency to en croach upon what wo have regarded as the province of the magazine, while the magazine has been showing a ten dency to usurp the functions of the newspaper. Now what will bo the out-1 come of these counter tendencies? We can do no more than guess at the re sult. We have the facts before us so far as the tendencies are concerned. Newspapers have shown a tendency, especially in the larger editions, for instance, to drift far out into the mag azine field by publishing a world of feature matter with elaborate illustra tions. "Special writers of the very highest type are now employed on the daily papers, and they are grinding out the character of stuff which formerly be longed exculsively to the magazine field. On the other hand, the maga zines have been showing a disposition to encroach somewhat on what was supposed to he the province of the newspaper. We will be convinced of this fact by reflecting upon the great disasters of recent date?. Magazines have been as anxious to get men on the scene as newspapers, and they have shown a disposition to publish as much exclusive information as pos sible. They want original stuff, some thing that has not been handled thor oughly by the daily papers. They want pictures which have not been used. They want to he the first to get and handle the particular stuff which ap pears in their columns. This is the newspaper idea, and the men who are at the head of the more progressive magazines of the country are good newspaper men, with the news instinct developed to a very high degree. "Here we find a peculiar eondition which, in my judgment, will finally bring out a mergence of the news paper and the magazine. Newspapers after a while will be published in the form of certain magazines, in which event they will become higher types of the art of printing. The result of the magazine's tendency to encroach upon the functions of the newspaper, and the newspaper's tendency to usurp some of the functions of the magazine, will In time result in a happy com promise which will lie of much bene fit to the reading public. “Newspapers will lie more careful of the facts they print. They will bo more accurate because they will em ploy a more reliable set of men. They will exact of the men who grind out the news for them somewhat of the scrupulous precision of history. At the same time the magazines will drop the bias which too frequently makes them unreliable. Personal opinion will be tabooed. The writer will quit the business of taking up this side or the other. He will quit trying to force his opinions upon the reading public. He will simply tell what happened, how it happ^ed and when it hap pened without bias or favor one way or the other. The result will be wholesome and the world will get a better and more reliable and more sat isfactory service from newspapers than it gets now.” WHY SHE WAS INDIGNANT. Little Maid Wanted Time for Suppli cation to the Lord. The small daughter of a Philadel phia dentist was recently sent on an all summer visit to an aunt in Mes happen. Pa. The child had always been very devout, and at home had been in the habit of kneeling by her bed, saying a formal prayer aloud hi her mother's hearing and then in audibly adding a little invocation of her own composition. When bedtime came the first night at her aunt’s, the child called the latter to hear her prayers. As usual when she had fin ished, she bowed her head in her hands and started on her whispered appeal. The aunt, not knowing the little one's habit, and thinking it a mere manifestation of sleepiness, said somewhat impatiently: “Hurry, dear!— hurry!” “ ‘Hurry, dear!—hurry’ ” repeated the child, indignantly mimicking her aunt. Then, with pious scorn, she added: “What kind of a house is this, anyway? ‘Hurry, dear!—hurry.’ A person is not given time hero to talk a minute with the Lord!” Safety In Trains. Many railway travelers have a su perstition that the safest part of the train is in the center, and in that posi tion, as a rule, the best carriages are placed. There is another common be lief among travelers that if a com posite train is made up of part passen ger coaches and part goods trucks tho latter for safety should be next to the engine, so that if anything is run into the trucks bear the first shock. Yet the fact is entirely the reverse. For lime time past the Hoard of Trade nas recommended that in composite trains the passenger coaches should oe placed next to the engine, with the jocds trucks trailing behind. instant Relief from Rheumatism and Neuralgia. Here is a case: Mr. T. Shepherd of Whitburn. Sunderland, Ohio, says: “My wife suffered severely from rheu matism, and neura.gia. She could not get one moment's rest and was nearly crazed with pain. Obtained instant re lief and a permanent cure by using the contents of one bottle of St. Ja cobs Oil. There Is no other remedy in the world that will do this. The in stantaneous effect which St. Jacobs Oil produces is a part of its half a century record." St. Jacobs Oil is sold in 25 cts. and 50 cts. sizes by all druggists. The words "Acts like Magic," "Con quers Pain,” which have been used in connection with St, Jacobs Oil for more than 50 years are wonderfully and truly descriptive. SPECIAL PRIZES.

STATEMENT OF PERSONAL PROPERTY RETURNED FOR TAXATION IN THE STATE OF NEBRASKA FOR THE YEAR 1900, SHOWING LOW VALUATION AND SMALL AMOUNT IN PROPORTION TO WHAT IS ACTUALLY OWNED. The report of the Auditor of Public Aerounts to the Governor of the State of Nebraska for 1900 shows that tha following articles were returned for taxation in the State, and on those articles which are reported separately, tho value per article. The statement comprises the following: Total Valuo Returned Valuo Per in State. Article^ Steam Engines .$ 199,750 f 80.00 Sewing Machines . 200,314 2.82 Pinaofortes . 281,COS 22.16 Mciodeons and Organs . 111,986 6.25 Safes . 39,236 9.69 Billiard Tables . 9,506 12.06 Watches and Clocks . 120,833 1.76 Merchandise . 4,3G7,504 w..... Property of Saloons and Eating Houses . 1,793,402 .. Carriages and Wagons . 1,033,332 .. Household and Office Furniture . 783,614 ... Gold and Silver Plated Ware . 23,091 .. Diamonds and Jewelry . 23.G73 . Agricultural Implements . 981,736 . Manufacturers' Tools and Implements . 268,367 ...... 510,268,015 If the foregoing was a statement Intended to he pub lished in the comic papers, it possibly might be of value, but as this is a business statement reported officially by the Auditor of State, the figures appear ridiculous. The details of some of these valuations are comical, when we find that 5.G91 people who live in Greeley County only had 75 watches or clocks worth 50 cents each, and that the 10,535 residents of Dixon County owned but 30 watches and clocks worth $1.25 each, it makes a person, think that to these residents of those counties "Time is no object.” The $3.00 billiard tables in Franklin County, and tho $4.40 tables in Lincoln County, and the $3.80 tables in Sherman County must be used for some business purpose; it certainly could not be a pleasure to play billiards on that class of tables. And the 109 seamstresses In Deuel County who used 98-cent sewing machines must have had the patience of Job. Pianos are supposed to be a luu Agrlcultural Implements . Manufacturers’ Tools and Machinery . in regard to these values, another statement made by the Auditor which shows that $42,976,590 worth of chat tel mortgages were filed for record in 1899, which m . gages vmuld naturally, have to be written on personality, is remarkable, when it is considered that including all tho live stock reported for taxation in the State, addec in with tho above articles, the sum total of the value re turned for taxation was but $30,064,200. In regard to tho Item of merchandise returned for taxation in the State, from careful investigation, not over 6 per cent of the value is returned. In Douglas County, with the cities of Omnha and Bouth Omaha carrying stocks of goods reported to the urv, but we wonder wr.ar tne neighbors think of the $1.90 ones which were used in Perkins County, and the $5.00 pianos which are used in Iv ith, Loup and McPhersoa Counties. This is but an example of the valuations re turned on all that class of personal property throughout the State. It does appear that in case such property should be taxed at all, some mere equitable valuation should be placed upon it by the assessors. Of all this lirt of articles thcro are but two which ran bo definitely checked up by the figures given the Cen sus Department; these are the report of agricultural im plements and manufacturer*' tools and Implements, re turned fer assessment. VTe give a statement of the amount of these articles returned lor taxation, and the amount returned to the census enumerator, showing the per cent of valuo re turned for taxes: Returned to the Census Returned to Enumerator. the Assessor. .*24.940.450 $931,735, or 4 per cent, .23,201,553 2CS.3G7, or 12-10 per cent. business agencies and Insurance -ompanies as being worth In the aggregate over $13,000,000. only $574,455 was returned for taxation, or G 7-10 per cent. When it is known that two firms alone in Omaha carry stocks of goods worth moro than the total value re turned in Douglas County, to assessors, the inconsistency of such a report becomes apparent. It is safe to say that when the reports are completer! they will show that not ever 4 per cent of the value of all personal property, other than live stock, i3 returned for taxation for state and county purposes in the State of Nebraska. FROM FOUR TO SIX PER CENT PERSONAL BUSINESS PROPERTY RETURNED FOR TAXATION. PRIVATE PERSONALITY PRACTICALLY EXEMPTED.
