    DURING SUMMER MONTHS
Dr. Hartman Gives Free Advice to
- Suffering Women.
MISS LIZZIE SNEATHIK'G '
Dr. Hartman , the Famous Gynaecolo
gist and Inventor of Pe-ru-na Of
fers to Treat Women Free During
the Summer Months.
America is the land of uervous women.
The great majority of nervous women
re so bccauso they are suffering from
some form of female disease. By far the
greatest number of female troubles are
coused by catarrh.
Women afflicted with pelvic catarrh de-
p.iir of recovery. Female trouble > s so
common , so prevalent , that they accept
it as almost inevitable. The greatest ob
stacle in the way of. recovery is that they
do not understand thnt it is oatarrh wbieh
Js the source of their illness. In female
complaint , ninety-nine cases out of one
hundred are nothing but catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh wherever located.

Few people correctly estimate th' '

try weekly has only 500 to 1,000 sub
scrlbers , the average man is apt 1 <
say , "Oh , It doesn't cut much figure
It has only a small circulation , " ant
he will doubtless believe that noui
except the great dailies really hav

quire is , How strong is the influenci

subscribers on the average ? Whei
considered in this light , the countr :
paper will be found usually up to th <
standard of the great dailies , if no
above. Given a daily with 100,000 sub
scribers , printing 700,000 copies eact
week ; Isn't it reasonable to supposi
that 700 different country weeklies
each circulating 1,000 per week , cai
wield as far-reaching influence as th <
daily ?
"The railroads of Nebraska" ha\ <
paid a deserved compliment to tin
country press of Nebraska. Realizing
that the question of railroad taxatior
Is a growing one , and that the peop ! <
are becoming more and more Inter
ested in it , the railroad manager :
have determined to take a hand Ir
the discussion. Heretofore they hav
said nothing except through their re-
spectlve ' t commissioners in pre
senting their side of the question t <
the state board of equalization eact
year. According to reports the oldei
heads repeated the famous Vander-
biltian saying , "The people be
damned , " and were against the ad
vertising idea ; but the younger men
said , "We will take the people int :
our confidence and tell them ou ;
story and they will be disposed to tvea !
us fairly. " And the younger men won
out. Up to the time they made a per
sonal attack on Edward Rosewater
they were doing good work for theii
side of the contention ; but that attach
was a tactical mistake.
At first the tax commissioners we1 ?
content to tell their story through th
advertising columns of the Lincoh ;
State Journal. Omaha Bee and Omaha
World-Herald. Then they bough !
space from the Western Newspapct
Union for the ready print side or a
great many Nebraska papers , populist
democratic and republican. Then the ?
made contracts for a plate service and
bought space in the home print side
Today one can pick up a country news
paper out of a pile of a hundred 01
more , and it's ten chances to one thai
It will have one of the railroad stories
either on the home side or the reads
print side , and about even that the
story will be told on both aides of tin
paper.
These tax commissioners expect to
convert the people of Nebraska to tht
belief that the railroads are paying
their share or more of the taxes. It is
a herculean task , but they have gone
about it in a systematic way. Ever ?
man , woman and child in the stale
who can and will read , will have an
opportunity of hearing the corpora
tion side of the case. No blame ca'j
attach to the editor of any populist
or democratic paper who receives pay
for publishing these railroad adver
tisements the transaction is a busi
ness proposition ; but he should give
his readers to understand that th
articles are paid advertisements and
not published because he indorses
what they contain unless , in fact , he
does indorse the same.
I have made a careful tabulation of
The Independent's exchanges this week
for the purpose of ascertaining how
extensively the railroad stories are
being told. With a few exceptions tho
papers are either democratic or pop
ulist
READY PRINTS.
In the ready prints furnished by the
Western Newspaper Union of Omaha
and Lincoln appear the articles en
titled "Action of Board of Equaliza
tion" wherein the attempt is made to
show that the railroads in 1900 wet-a
assessed $1,169 per mile more than
they should have been , "and are still
paying more than their fair portion of
taxes. " This appears in the following

It has been suggested that if the
railroads would pay a little heavier
taxes and save what they are no 1
spending in the uphill task of telling
the people what they are not ready to
believe , that It might be cheaper in
the long run. That is not the r3nl
question at issue , however. The real
question is. Shall the people bo per
mitted to conduct their state govern
ment without unwarranted interfer
ence on the part of railroad officials ?
In other words , Will the people elect
for governor the man selected by U. P.
Attorney Baldwin and his confreres
and announced nine days before tl > n
republican state convention ?
RAILROAD TAXATION
A Littlo Ancient HUtory for the lleuefit < > J
Those TVbo Care to Study the
Question
Twenty-eight years ago Nebraska was
hut a school-girl in short frocks , yet
she was considering the advisability of
adopting a new code of rules adapted
to her remarkable growth. She had 55
county organizations within her bor
ders , and 1107 miles of railroad extend
ing through and into 32 of these coun
ties. Her assessors returned for taxa
tion , among other property , eleven
million acres of land , nearly ninety
thousand horses and 230,000 head of
cattle. The land was assessed for tax
ation at § 3.91 per acre on the average ,
horses at $44.67 am ] cattle at $12.90
each. The railroads ware crude affairs
when compared to those of today , yet
they were valued at an average of
$10,095.89 per mile. A trifle over 13.S
per cent of the taxes wore levie-1
against them that year (1S74) ) . Fa.-m
lands bore more than half the bur
den , and town lots nearly one-eighth
Eight years later (1882) ( the railroad
mileage had more than doubled. Ev
ery mile of the original eleven hun
dred miles was undoubtedly more val
uable than It was in lsT-1. and every
mile of the 1250 miles of new line
was reaching into good territory. But
' ailroad domination already had a firm
hold on Nebraska , and the 255 , mile.- ;
) f Nebraska railroads were assessed on
un average valuation of $6,315.03 per
mile a decrease of 27 % per cent.
Lands had increased a little over
three million acres in that eight years ,
but the assessed valuation had fall'-u
from $3.91 to ? 3.0'J a decline of 22
per cent. If the assessment of 1S71
was equitable , then as compared to
farm lands , the railroads In ISSli had
an advantage of about lo1 pr con' .
In other words , instead o pay in IT
faxes on a valuation of $6.3.03 pr
mile , it should have been $7S74..79 , or
about $1,560 higher per mile. This. n
course , Is on the assumption that rail
road Improvement and farm improve
ment kept pace with each other.
At this point the railroad tax com
missioners for "the railroads of Ne
braska" might call attention to the 4 : >
[ ) er cent decline in horses and th0
? 3 1-3 per cent slump in cattle valua
tions between 1874 and 3 882 , but the
taxpayers generally und ° rstaud th < it
railroad property and land make fair-r
comparisons. Every man knows that
intil the British established military
supply stations at Chalmette , Lathron
ind other points , horses have been on
; he down grade for a good many years.
Eight years later ( } 890) ) the railroad
iad again more than doubled thei"
nileage , it being 5,157.57 miles , or
nore than 4 times as great as in
1874. Although this year is now looked
; o in making comparisons with present
lay railroad assessments , yet the fact
s the average was only $5,788.42 per
nile , or a decrease of 8 1-3 per cent
! rom 1882 and over 42 per cent de-
: line from 1874.
Lands had fallen off to $2.98 an
icre , while the area had nearly dou-
) led in eight years. The decline in
sight years was about 21-3 per cent
md for the sixteen years a little less
han 24 per cent. On the comparison
> lands with railroads , always assum-
ng that in improvements andreal
-alue they had kept pace , if we look
o 1874 for our starting point , the
ailroad assessment of 1890 should
lave averaged $7,672.87 per mile , or
ibout $1,885 more per mile than it real-
y was. Looking only to 1882 , the val-
lation should have been $6,167.07 , or
ihout $380 a mile increase.
Lands in 1900 averaged $2.45 an
icre. This is a decrease of 371-3 per
ent since 1874. A similar decrease in
ailroad assessment would give an
Average of $6,326.75 per mile of line.
Cozad Local : The ticket is one
that is bound to be a winner in the
coming campaign. Dawson county
was honored by the selection of Claude
Smith for superintendent of public In
struction.
Seward Independent-Democrat : Al
though there was a hard fight over the
head of the ticket , yet everybody is
satisfied with the outcome , and the en
tire ticket will receive the hearty
support of both populists and demo
crats.
Stanton Register : The ticket nomi
nated is an excellent one and the
strongest aamecl for y rs.
Accordingly , at this rate the 5,652.3
miles of Nebraska railroads would b
valued at $35,760,878.82 Instead of th
twenty-six millions as found by th
republican board after excluding th
"extra corporate franchises. " Th
populist platform fixes forty millioi
dollars as the minimum assessmen
under present conditions , and it i :
about the correct figure , when we con
slder that the eleven m'llion acres o
land in 1874 embraced only the rlohe ;
portions of eastern Nebraska , whil'
the thirty-two million acres today cov
er the entire state and takes in mucl
land that never will be very valuabl"
For the benefit of those who ma ]
wish to do some figuring on their owr
account , I append a number of smal
tables which have been compiled frorr
the records and may be depended upor
as correct.

investigated a case in which pear
rees stored in a nuisery cellar were
