Kature. She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope less Cured by Pe-ru-na. Mrs. .fudge McAllister writes from 1217 West 33d St. , .Minneapolis , Minn. , as follows : " / suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured , as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. "Fortunately a member of our Or * der advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it. Although I started in with little faith , I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. " I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more Is the best thing I could wish for , and thanks to Peruna I en joy that now.1 Minnie E. McAl lister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many peo ple to imitate Peruna. ' A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can he procured by the druggist much cheaper than Pe runa. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price , and uo druggist can get it a rent cheaper.

DeFrance Chairman Populist State Central Committee , RAILROAD TAXATION Companies AVill Try to Show They art Paying Their Share Nebraska railroads are starting out on a campaign of education in thy matter of railroad taxation. On ac count of charges frequently made that the railroads were not paying then- just share of taxes , representatives of the various lines held a meeting to devise ways of educating the people to believe differently. The old con servatives favored a plan of fighting out in the courts if necessary , and in leferring to the public In choiceV. . K. Vanderbilt language. But the youngor element favored taking the public In to the confidence of the railroads and placing before everyone facts and fig ures of railroad taxation with explan ations , and prevailed. - Tax Commissioners Pollard of the Burlington , Scribner of the Union Pa cific and Whitney of the Elkhorn were a committee to prepare the ma terial , and Advertising Agent Darlow of the Union Pacific and Young of the Burlington to arrange for the publica tion in the leading papers of the stats a series of articles to run a period of about sixteen weeks. The aim is to seek to show the public that the rail- loads have not only already done their share as taxpayers , but In many in stances have borne the larger share of the burden. Omaha World-Herald. The second Installment of this series of "educational" work appeared In the Sunday Bee and Sunday State Jour nal , but the "educators" seem to think the World-Herald and The Indepen dent are not to be counted In with the "leading papers of the state , " in asmuch as the paid advertisement did not appear In the Sunday Wo 'd-Her- ald , and no arrangements have been made with The Independent for pub lication. Our offer In another column holds good. The second lesson is substantially a rearrangement of the figures present ed by The Independent In Its issue of May , 1900 , and presents nothing new to Independent leaders. It shows that the railroads paid 15.4 per cent of the taxes in 1900 , a concise summary be ing : Per cent. Farm and stock interests paid..55.2 City , town and village int. paid..29.-i Railroads paid 15.4 t Total 100. The population of Nebraska in 190' ) (1.058,910) ( is shown to be : Rural 63.8 per cent. Urban 36.2 per cent. Total 100. percent. All of which proves nothing in par ticular , except the facts shown. Sup pose the railroads do pay 15.4 per cent of the taxes. If th'iy are permitted tc charge up taxes as operating expenses , and by such a system of accounting and bookkeeping to make a showing of net earnings only after the taxes are deducted , why may not they pav directly all the taxes and recoup them selves by raising freight rates ? In directly all other interests would have to pay the taxes , but after the fashio.i of tariff duties on imports. If our federal government is to be maintained by indirect taxation , why not support the state government in a like man ner ? The importer counts the tariff duty as "operating expense" and his "net earnings" are shown after de ducting from the selling price , the or iginal cost plus the duty. Acordlng- ly , he is not taxed at all but the con sumer Is. Applying the same principle to rail road accounting , if taxes are to be counted as operating expense , and if the railroads are entitled to charge for services so that a fair return may be paid on the capital Invested , 'I ought to be feasible to make them pay all the state taxes and wholly sa e themselves harmless by making rates high enough to cover the increased "operating expense. " Apparently thev would pay all the taxes in reality they would pay none. That ought to suit the most earnest railroad LUX commissioner. Valued as scrap-heaps , the railroads of Nebraska are certainly assessed high enough. All their tangible prop erty , valued according to usual meth ods , is probably not worth more than 27 millions , if the Improved farms oi Nebraska are worth only 61 millions But suppose we count "net earnings" for the owners of the farm lands on the same basis as railroad net earn ings are computed what then ? Al low the farmer a reasonable salary as a "captain of industry ; " pay his wifa and sons and daughters for their la bor : count his taxes as operating ex pense. Then take the 1902 assessment of enough Improved farms to make up the total of $6.128.104 ( the as sessed valuation of the Union Pacinv ) and ascertain if their owners can show net earnings in 1901 to the amount of $4.807,288 ( the net earnings of the Un ion Pacific for that year ) . If so , the-i that road is assessed high enough ; otherwise , not. Talk "turkey" part of the time for the rarmer. Messrs. Railroad Tax Commissioners : figure net earnings for him on the same basis as you Jo for your roads ; compile statistics alone this line , and if then the farm and stock interests' net earnigsare to railroad net earnings In the ratio cf 552 to 154 , then your case is won.

Van VorhJs Exposes the Deception Practiced by the Comptroller of the Currency In Making -porlH. . Editor Independent : It has become a real art in the departments at Wash ington to make reports that will es cape the charge of falsehood and yet conceal the truth , or make it so ob scure that it will be misapprehended or overlooked. In a former article I mentioned cor respondence in which the comptroller of , the currency admitted that ab stracts , of the reports of the condi tion of national banks , issued from that office for over five years , did not show correctly the condition of the reserves. Those who have given attention to the subject know that the law provid . foa reserve of 25 per cent in all re serve cities and 15 per cent in all other places. They ought to know also that this is only an apparent and not a real reserve ; that it is a legislative fraud contained in the original law creating national banks enacted In the sixties. No. 28 of these abstracts has just been sent out , and covers the time from February 25 to April 30 , 1902. It shows that on that date there were 60 central reserve , 271 reserve and 4,092 country banks. It is , I believe generally understood that the law will require 331 of these banks to hold in reserve 25 per cent , and 4,092 to hold 15 per cent of their deposits , but this is not true. Another provision of the same law permits 271 of the reserve banks to keep a reserve of only 12 } per cent , and all of the 4,092 a reserve of 6 per cent. The Importance of this legislative juggling justifies some re petition of former articles. By it the country banks are prohib ited from loaning over 85 per cent , and the banks In the reserve cities over 75 pe-r cent , to their own custo mers. Three-fifths of the amount re tained by the country banks , and one- half of that retained by the reserve city banks , is permitted to be depos ited with other banks having the de ceptive designation of reserve agents , where it Is treated like any other de posit , and becomes a part of the de posits of the so-called agents upon which they calculate their legal re serves. There can be no doubt that the original purpose of this arrange ment was deceptive and intended to continually draw , as it has done , mon ey from the country banks to the banks of New York city. Any report of banks , or of the comp troller , that conveys the idea that any bank outside of New York. Chicago or St. Louis is required to maintain a re serve on the 25 per cent or 15 per cent basis is false. The only available re serve of a bank is the cash It has In its vaults. That which is not cash may be called "cash items" or "cash due. " etc. , and counted as a part oC the bank reserves , but no legislative , executive or bank power can make i-1 cash , or make it a reserve In any cor rect financial sense. When the comptroller's attention was called to the fact that , even un der these absurd provisions of the law , it was impossible for a bank to hold a 25 per cent or 15 per cem. re serve , if at the same time It held less than 12 % per cent or 6 per cent in actual cash , and that his abstracts , showing banks to be short in "cash required" and yet as having a full lawful reserve , we.v Incorrect , he ad mitted this to be true. He has fol lowed the admission by an entire change of the table of "deposits and reserves. " as it appears on page 7 of abstract No. 28 , by which this error is eliminated. But the most important part of this reserve question "cash reserve re quired" and "held" also disappears from the table. It can be ascertained by calculation , but it would seem that , if anything relating to the con dition of these banks ought to appear plainly on the face of the abstracts , It ought to be this. There now appears a column headed "cash on hand , due from reserve agents and in the re demption fund. " This is the usual method of banks when they wish to conceal from the public the amount of cash they hold. They mix it up with something else , which they call "cash items" or "cash due. " This column Is an absurd combination. The redemption fund is not available to pay depositors , and the amount due from so-called reserve agents Is no more cash than any demand debt due the banks. Neither of these has any rational place among the items that go to make up the reserve , which has no purpose except to furnish a fund from which to pay deposits on demand. Cash on hand is the only real reserve. It is the only reserve that can be de pended upon. This was demonstrated in 1893. This reconstructed abstract shows Lhat , in the central reserve city of St. Louis and in fifteen of the thirty re serve cities , the aggregate of the bank reserves is below the requirements of the law. The city of Dallas appears In the list as a reserve city for the first time , with four banks showing an ag gregate shortage of reserves. It Is certain that this report does not dis pose the location of all banks that lave loaned their deposits beyond the iegal limit. This has been the con- lition for many months , and is well inown to the comptroller and the ser-- : -etary of the treasury , but nothing has ) .een done to prevent it , and nothing vill be done by them to make these janks obey the law. They are serv- ng the banks and not the people. The aw is bad enough for the public in- Some republicans express fears that he Cubans will fall out with each ither and commence fighting just as ve did in the early sixties. That is generally the case with mean men. Phey do not like to have other people luplicate their own meanness. That s one of the strongest arguments igainst letting the Filipinos govern hemselves. They will go to fighting ach other , say imperialists , as soon is we stopfigb.ting _ them. tcrest If the banks are compelled u obey it. Too many things are sugge ed bj this abstract to include in one article , but it ought to be noted that , durlr- ] the G4 days covered by thk abstract tbe national bank loans havn increased at tbe rate of $659.224 pe. uiy. nol excluding Sundays , and th.f nations ] bank notes are being retired c. * rapiu- ly as the law will permit. Another thing ought to be noted , that tbe Increase of loans and dis counts ( $44,130,390) was all outside of New York city. During the 77 dayi covered by abstract No. 27 , ending February 25. the increase of loans In New York city was over $00,000.000 , but during these 64 days there was a decrease of $39,000,000 , so tbat the In crease outside of New York city must have been over $83,000,000. The outside fools are responding to the game of the New York gamblers , who have not the integrity supposed tii exist among thieves , but always play their game with false cards and load ed dice. FLAVIUS J. VAN VORHIS Indianapolis , Ind. Republican Ticket The republican state convention Wednesday renomlnated all the pres ent state officers except governor an3 treasurer. This will be regarded b ; Mr. Rosewater as a victory for him self , he having driven Governor Sav age and Treasurer Stuefer out of tl-t : race. race.Right Right from the start It was noticea ble that the Elkhorn-Union Paciho combination back of Robertson , and the Burlington forces behind Dius- more , were In for a sham protracted struggle. Early In the day if was sa < < ! that Thompson and Rosewater had combined to make Speaker Sears the nominee , but after the third ballot that gentleman was practically out of the running. The night before the convention , sentiment seemed to point to Dinsrnore of Clay as the man whom the Bur lington was pushing to the front til though the expression was freqiitriitlv heard , "Well , I don't know : you see Mickey Is neutral ground and it ran : ' go to him. " "Neutral ground" ha-1 reference simply to the railroads. Mickey Is regarded as a Union Pacific , man , located In what is really Bur lington territory. He is the man who was mentioned a.week or so ago by a prominent railroad man at the Lin- dell hotel as the oue "we have picked out. " John H. Mickey Is a resident of Osceola , Polk county. He is described by the State Journal as a "farmer , banker , old soldier and pioneer. " By a curious co-Incidence he is president , of the same bank that Governor Nance was president of when he was nomi nated for governor : but Mr. Mickey was nominated on the thirteenth bal lot and that undoubtedly means that the parallel will go no further. Rosey had his way in a great part. He had previously driven Governor Savage from the field because of the Bartley pardon yet Governor Savage stands for an Increase in railroad as sessments , something the Bee pretends to champion. Just prior to the con vention Treasurer Stuefer withdrew , "in the interests of harmony. " but really because of the Bee's onslaught. Treasurer "Stuefer stands exactly on the same ground as does Auditor Wes- ton on the railroad assessment yet Rosewater made fish of one and flesh of the other. Norrls Brown "sounded the key note" in his speech as temporary chairman. As a key-note it was rath er squeaky. He didn't hesitate to re peat the republican lie , told so often that some really believe it. that tb present administration has conducted the state institutions a year and have a "surplus" left of $87.231.61. Any on * at all conversant with the matte- ' knows that these figures are based on calling oleven months' expenditures the expenditures for a "year. " It la also well known that Mr. Brown's fig ures do not include the expenditures at the penitentiary , where the repub lican warden used up the $35.000 main tenance appropriation In 10 months , and will have about $49,000 deficiency by the time the next legislature acts- that they do not Include the Kearney industrial school , where Secretary Mallalieu used about $60.000 in one year of a $97,000 appropriation in tended for two years. Brown makts an excellent speech of the "joshing" kind , but his statements of fact can not be relied upon. The platform is exactly what one could expect from a republican con vention dominated by the railroaJs. After all of Rosewater's howling , the taxation plank is simply a lot of glit tering generalities quite acceptable to George W. Holdrege and his coadju tors. The convention indorsed Roose velt's attitude on the Cuban reciproc ity matter and thereby threw the hai- poon into Senators Millard and Diet rich. H. C. Lindsay was asrain made chairman of the state committee. It won't do to show that land taxrd on a basis of $3.47 an acre ( the aver age for improved lands in 1900) ) , pro duced 50 bushels of 25-cent corn r- ? Lhe acre , and say that the net ear.'i- Ings were $12.50 an acre. The farroer is entitled to his salary as a "captain 3f industry" as well as his retnrn on j the capital invested. C 'culnted on 'he same basis as railro < tl account ing. Nebraska farm lands yield ver'y ; mall net earnings. A good portion of the time Nebraska farmers are pros perous , but it is a mistake to suppose that the net returns exceed 2 per cent. Fhe laborer is worthy of his hire , and the Nebraska farmer is just as much entitled to a good salary out of his rarm products as is a railroad stock holder official. A populist farmer informs the edt- : or that he has come to look upon the iredictions of The Independent as In- 'allible. He says that he remembers eadlng in this paper two or three rears ago a statement that Rath bun ind the Beveridge thieves from Ind- ana caught stealing in Cuba would lever be punished. Now every one > f them has been set at liberty. But it equires no great prophetic powers to ell what Mark Hanna and his crowd do in all cases of that sort Sirs. J. II.
