Mrs M IL Bousch Richmond Va
writes
fiad catarrh all through my sys
tem for two years and could get no re
lief I was advised to try Peruaa and
I have taken five 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 free to any address by
The Peruna Medicine Co Columbus O
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna
write at once to Dr Hartman giving a1
full statement of your case and he will
be plcaed to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis

NEBRASKA CROP CONDITIONS
Rainfall In Greater Portion of State
Above 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

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 Douglas county was
assessed higher in proportion than
other property through the state in his
