bottles of It and am well and better now than I have been for years I can advise any one who has catarrh of any part of the body to take Peruna My little girl who is eleven years old had catarrh but was cured by Peruna Before I began to take Peruna I was sick all the time but now I am entirely cured and all praise Is due Peruna Mrs At K Bousch MiBS Pearl Bousch writes When I was a baby I contracted catarrh and was doctored by several good physi cians but none did me any good My mother was taking Peruna at the time and gave some of it to me and I soon began to improve and am now well and fat as a little pig I am twelve years old The doctors told mother I had the consumption but it was only catarrh Miss Pearl Bousch It is no longer a question as to whether Peruna can be relied on to cure all such cases During the many years in which Peruna has been put to test in all forms and stages of acute and chronic catarrh no one year has put this remedy to greater test than the past year Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh remedy of the age Dr Hartman the compounder of Peruna has written a book on the phases of catarrh peculiar to women entitled Health and Beauty It will be sent

the Normal Following is the report of the United States department of agricul ture climate and crop bulletin of the weather bureau Nebraska section fol tho week ending August 2G Tho last week has been wet and cool The daily mean temperature has averaged 3 degrees below normal in eastern counties and 1 degree below in western The rainfall with few exceptions has been above normal The amount has quite generally exceeded an inch in eastern and southern counties and in considerable areas ranged from two to four inches In the northwestern portion of the state the rainfall was less than half an inch The showers of the week retarded haying and threshing and considerable hay in the northern sections was dam aged by rain Threshing from shock is in progress in northern counties and some damage to grain in shock has resulted from the wet weather of the week Corn nas witn very few exceptions grown well and continues to promise a very large crop The rain in the southern counties was very timely and beneficial to corn Warm weather is needed to ripen the corn crop as it is maturing slowly and is now slightly behind normal development at this season of the year WEATHER TOO COLD AND WET Conditions During Last Week Not Fa vorable for Ripening Crops WASHINGTON Aug 27 Follow ing is the agricultural departments weekly summary of crop conditions As a whole the weather conditions east of the Rocky mountains have not been favorable being too cool in the northern districts eastward of the Missouri valley with too much mois ture in portions of the central valleys while excessively hot in the southern states with drouth of greater or less severity generally throughout the cot ton belt Although cool the conditions were fairly favorable for maturing crops in the Ohio valley and over the south ern portion of the middle Atlantic states as well as on the Pacific coast Corn is greatly in need of warm dry weather throughout the northern por tion of the corn belt where the ab normally cool weather of the last two weeks has greatly retarded its ma turity Over the southern portion of the corn belt an excellent crop of early corn is now practically assured In portions of Iowa and central Illinois corn was badly lodged as a result of local storms Spring wheat harvest is unfinished in the northern portion of the Red River valley where it has been in terrupted by frequent showers which have also seriously interfered with stacking and threshing Sprouting and rotting in stack and shock are re ported from Iowa and in southern Min nesota threshed wheat is damp and discolored Harvest is about three fourths finished in Oregon and will be completed in Washington during the present week with yields about the average though less than expected in Washington ARMY IS TRYING NEW SIGHT Makes Special Experiments with Long Field Telescopic WASHINGTON Aug 27 The army ordnance bureau is experimenting at several army posts with a new type of rifle telescoping sight The new sight is known as the Longfield sight and is attached to the rifle running parallel with the barrel The bureau also has sent out to the Philippines a consignment of bolo bayonets which are in demand among the troops there who believe the cur ved weapon to be superior to the straight weapon in a hand-to-hand fight The troops have found difficult ty in withdrawing the straight bayonet ance it has become embedded The savalrvmen want to try detached bolo bayonets for cutting through under brush Miles Goes to Philippines BOSTON Aug 27 With reference to the statement that Lieutenant Gen eral Miles is going to the Philippine islands Secretary Cortelyou said to night General Miles is going to the Philippines with the permission of tho president to inspect army conditions there Freeport Has a Bartholin FREBPORT

three years ago Mrs Tiios Uobmns Maple Street Norwich N Y Feb 17 1900 Tou cannot serve God with tools in vented by the devil In the preceding bulletins we have shown that there was a general disposi tion on the part of assessors through out the state to assess the value of property in their separate counties at 10 per cent or possibly less of Its value and In this reduction In assessment the railroads only desired that their as sessments should be made on the same basis as other property In support of this form of argument we have been ably seconded by the facts and figures presented and the argument made at Lincoln by the Om aha Real Estate Exchange In their presentation of their case asking for a reduction in the levy for state purposes In Douglas county Mr Mcintosh in his argument before the board ably presented this feature which the railroads wished to make plain In his remarks at the opening of the proceedings he states after making the assertion that Douglas county farm as sessments have been higher in propor tion than those of other counties which is a fact he says That being true it is a matter of right on the part of the tax payers of Douglas county that the levy should be so adjusted as to equalize the taxes as between the different counties of the state and whereas in our petition which is on file here we claim the dis parity is the difference between a one sixth and a one tenth our petition was drawn up before we were as well ad vised of the facts as we are now and if we were making other allegations now we would say the disparity is be tween about a one fifth and a one-fifteenth and I am not sure but what we ought to amend these figures in our petition After introducing testimony confirma tory of the position taken that the farm property in

UNEOP GARMENTS AND HATSl A eUWER SBQ570MMASS3 ISSUED UNDER AUTHORITY Of THE RAILROADS OF NEBRASKA Extracts from the Proceedings Before the Board of Equalization at Lincoln July 28 1902 Whereby the Real Estate Exchange of Omaha Secured a Reduc tion in the State Levy Amounting to Three Mills in Douglas County remarks to the board he states the about 5 whatever fraction It Is to lowing make the result of the tax the same on We have gone along in the State of the two Nebraska now for some forty odd years Further on in his argument for tho taxing property or not taxing it in lower tax levy in

thoroughly f taxing by changing the rate of levy ridiculous in respect to taxing ouf of sa ys his own mind It Is not Thls is the first time that tho within the power of the state and Dower3 of this

this cAessfulIy they cannot continue to work constitution and this revenue law In so as a county stea that by mak this state in my opinion our con- inB a Iow assessment its levy is cor stitutlon could not be improved In its respondingly higher then that induce revenue features and our revenue law ment to juggle with the assessment is as good a one as any state has The will be largely taken away trouble if this board please with the In addition to the argument present State of Nebraska in this revenue law ed by Mr Mcintosh and Mr Shields is not about the law but about the along these lines
