Iu placing the valuation on real
estate property this year, the assess
or should take iotfl consideration the
ads of the late legislature, when,
after much thought and deliberation,
they wisely concluded that it was
unjust, to raise the valuation on such
property because the owner had
adorned his premises with a fine lot
of fruit and shade trees. This
clause, not to assess the value of
treef. on real estate was embodied in
the new revenue law, for the reason
that it would offer greater induce
inent to the people to grow trees,
and again because of the great
amount of extra labor and expense
it tak< s to keep up a place where u
specialty of tree culture is made.
There is practically no income from
tree culture iu Nebraska, especially,
in the western portion, and the
investment thus made is simply a
pleasure and gratification one gets
out of it, bv reason of having plant
ed a laud mark that will revert to
his memory long after ho has parted
with his earthly home. For exam
ple, Loop City has several citizens.

Gov. Savage Buys a Mill.
Ex Governor Savage ot Nebraska
vim lias been spending several
onths i'j Tacoma and vicinity, has
h o the lumber business in
partnership with Couucilmen John
i). tiatiue, an old miliman of the city
and they have purchased the saw
mill at Eionville from the Marshal
Lumber company. One of Gover
nor Savage’s sons, Ned Savage, an
energetic young man of about 25
years, joined bis fat her in Tacoma
last week and another son will be
out in a few weeks. The new mill
firm will probably bo known as Sav
age and Sons, though the articles of
incorporation baye not yet been
filed.
The family will make Tacoma thier
Lome, and Governor Savage expects
to build a tine home in the North
End in the near future.
The mill already has a large con
tract with the Tacoma Eastern Kail
way for finishing the timbers for
their bridge across the Mashel river
and tla's. The railroad tracks are
now laid as far as Lynch-ereek, a
bout two miles from Marshel; and it
is cxspected that the bridge will be
constructed and the tracks across it
completed in but little more tban a
month. The Masbal river district
is credite 1 with being one of the
finest timber producing regions in
ttie state The measurement of a
tree felled for the Eatonville mill a

Gov. Savage is most enthusiastic
| over the country, and glowing re
ports, it is said, have already led to
the decision of a number of old
friends in Nebraska to foresake

The Methods of Novelists.
And hero is Maxim Gorky paying
5150,000 cash for a beautiful palace on
the banks of the Volga. This is the
reward of the skilful use of his pen
in glorifying the tramp and the out
cast, and vilifying and scandalizing
their opposites In Russian society and
politic . It is frequently thus, though
Tolstoi began at the other end of the
social ladder, sacriticing a title and a
fortune for the rewards that have
come to him as a novelist and a cham
pion of the oppressed.
The Deacon's Climax.
“Yes," said Deacon Stuckup, “the
works of Providence are manifold.
The omnipotence of the Almighty is
I seen in all things, great and small,
high and low. The good Lord who
made the great mountains made the
smallest insect thnt crawls over them;
I the good Lord who made the mighty
I ocean made the smallest fish that

man, the greatest of His works, made
the smallest flower of the field. The

NKVEKK ATTACK OK OKIP
Cored l>y One lluttle of Oliainberlaln's
Cough Itemed}-.
••When I had an attack of the grip last
winter (the second one) I actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Itemedy”, says Frank W. Perry, ed.
ltor of the Enterprise, Sliortsville, N. V.
"This is the honest truth. 1 at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by taking a
tesspoonlul ol this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night I
would take a dose and it see ned that in t he
briefest Interval the cough would pass oil'
and I would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most agreeable
surprise Is putting It very mildly. I had no
Idea that it would or could knock oat the
grip, simply because 1 had never tried It
(or such a purpose, but it did, and it seemed
with the second attack nf coughing the
remedy caused It to not only he of less du
ration, but the pains were far less severe,
and I bad not used the contents of one bot
tie before Mr. Grip had bid me adieu.’1 For
