REVENUE LEGISLATION TALK V , | The Speaker Declares it Is Not a Dad Law and Shows Reason for Increass in Taxation Urges Support of En tire Republican Ticket. ( Kiotn Tuewdiiy's Dully. ] For about an hour and a half last evening Congressman 121 mo r .1. Hur- hell of Lincoln fired broadsides of sailing gun political oratory in the Auditorium , or at least It seemed llko gatling gun lire the words were rapIdly - Idly spoken and the thoughts hit llio mark regularly while the echo of his remarkably distinct voice resounded from the four walls of the building and were back to meet other words and inspirations from the Iliient orat or's lips The building was cold and cheerless - loss ; there weie a number of vacant seats , but the orator and the audience seemed to forget all these adverse cir cumstances as the speaking proceed ed and warmed to the occasion. Hon. W. Hobertson presided over the meeting and first Introduced Dr. J. J. Williams of Wayne , the republican candidate for state senator in this dis trict , who spoke briefly , staling that It the people chose to have him represent the district in the coming session of the legislature lie would do his best to look after Its inleresls In an hon orable manner and would lend his In- Iliience toward lectlfylng erroneous laws that had been passed. .ludge Robertson then Introduced Congressman Uurkett who opened with the statement that it was the fifty-second day ho had been talking to the people of the stale and ex pressed his gratification at being able to talk to the people of Norfolk but was somewhat disappointed by the crowd that turned out to meet him. He devoted some time to the national Issues of the campaign and then took up state matters for review. During the past eight years the re publican opposition has been prolific in the creation of paramount issues. In 18It { ! it was alleged that in the de throning of silver and the elevation of the gold standard the people were be ing robbed of their rights ; In 1898 it was the McCleery bill that was threat- oiling the lives and liberties of the people , but there is no mention of the McCleory bill now ; in 1900 the people ple were assured thai the spirit of empire was upon them and thai with other calamities celebrations of the Fourth of July were to pass away. This jear they have been unable to produce a paramount issue. In the east Parker's gold telegram Is being landed to the skies and in the west the people are being assured by the democratic orators that there are oth- o rerasons for the supremacy of that party , but there is no paramount Is sue. The orators are not agreed on the evils of the present and are mere ly emphasizing the fact that the dem ocrats want the offices without urging reasons why they should have them. In the majority of the states they find locallssnes to be of paramount Im portance , and In Nebraska the new revenue law is recited as the bane of the people's existence. All are agreed that this Is the great est country on earth and all must agree that never in Its existence has It experienced a better eight years than those that have passed since Wil liam McKinley was first elected presi dent. The speaker said that there had been anxious Inquiries as to how long this reign of prosperity wns to continue and assured his hearers that it would lust as long as the country continued to do business on correct business principles. His rule for mak ing a fortune was to "work hard nnd never spend a cent , " but for business maxims he urged that people should spend less than their incomes and sell more than they buy , and Ihese maxims apply to the running of the government. .Mr. Burkett made a strong point when he said that the democratic par ty was continually working In the in- leresl of the consumer while the re publican party stoutly maintained that the producer was the one entitled to consideration. If you are a producer you are benoflttod by the action of the republican party and If you prodnco nothing in labor or corn or other en terprise nnd merely live to consume , democracy Is your party. Ho related an instance of whore a hall storm swept over the field of a farmer and In an instant that farmer was taken from the producing class and placed In the list of consumers and -10-cent corn nioant no prosperity for him that ycmr , nlthough It benefited nil his neighbors and friends.

Another pulley ol' tlio republican party I was to Uoop men busy at homo. In I Canada , It \\as related , a working man would consume but $ ' .

The spuaKer then devoted his alient lion to state issues and In reviewing lovoniio law history stated that Oov- rnor llolcomli in bis mnssago of IS' ) ? laid particular stress on the need of revenue legislation , staling that the law then In force had been on the statute hooks for tlio past twenty > ( > ars being adopted at a IImo wlien Iheio was no development of thostntu west of Lincoln anil WIIH Inadequate to the present necils. The legislature took np the question and \\rostlod with it but did nothing. It was In session for ninety-four days but nothing - ing came of its action. In 1S ! ) ! > anotli- or message urged the need of revenue law legislation , but nothing was ae- complishod. As late as 11100 Audllor Cornell urged the need of u revenue law that would cover the requirements of the stale , but It was not until tlio leglsallure of 1'JOJ that tlio question \\as taken up anil tlio law passed , During all this time the railroads were assessed at $ 'j,000tiOO. ( ! A suit was brought to force a larger assessment oi tills property , but a fusion judge declared In ills decision that it could not be done under the old la\v. There weio but nine lines In the old law re ferring to railroad assessment , whllo In the new law there are two pages , and under this now law the railroad corporations are assessed at $ 1C,000- 000. The fiislonisls in the legislature energetically supported the now law , but when it came to a vote they played politics and voted against It , in fact that Is their customary course. In tlio state and nation the statute books are filled with republican laws but the opposition produces no laws. The most of tlio kicking against the operation of ( be new law was done by the railroads , packing houses , the In surance companies ami the express companies. They maintained a lobby to woik against it and in the courts they assembled the best lawyers to light it and prevent Its enforcement. The fusion judges , Sullivan and Hoi- comb , however , sustained the law by their decision and declared that It was constitutional. The fusionlstsaro now pladged to repeal that law whllo the republicans promise to make it potent for the good of the state. Under the old law the insurance companies that take more money out of the state than any other form of business , never paid taxes : the new law forces them to contribute two cents on every dollar's worth of busi ness done toward the expenses of the state. The express companies never before paid taxes. They own no real estate and very little personal proper ty , but the now law required them to pay taxes on the amount of business done. Under the old law the lell- grapli and telephone companies paid taxes on their wire and poles. The now law imposes taxes on their stocks , nonds , franchises and right of way , in addition. The now law was made to ennali/.o the taxes. Under the old law this county was paying nine mills , whllo a Missouri river county was paying but four mills. In some counties , there fore , more taxes will be paid to the state and In other counties less mon ey will be paid. Some people were paying no taxes under the odl law who will be compelled to bear their share under the new. Mr. Hurkett urged that the raise in taxation was not In every instance traceable to the new revenue legisla tion , and cited instances. In district No. 17 , in this county , the levy last year was three mills on the dollar. This year the assessor found under the new law $30,000 more property In that district than last year , and a three mill levy would therefore raise $00 more than last year , and other propei ty would have paid no more. At the annual meeting this year the levy was llxod at eight mills , and everyone's taxes will ho higher , by live mills than last year. The law is not to blame for that , and tlio taxes In other districts wore not raised by the action of this school meeting , and the.v could have raised the taxes just the same under tlio old law as the now. now.The The taxes assessed against tlio Nor folk National hank , one of the largo tax-payers of tlio county , wore cited. Last year the total taxes assessed against this bank wore $1,088.10 ; this year Its total tuxes are $1,83U.OI. The fusion people sent a letter to the bank and told Ihom this increase of $700.91 was on account of tlio now revenue law anil stntod that a fusion leglsla MEXICAN Mustang Liniment for Man , llciiHt or Poultry.

OMAHA , NKI1 The Practice of Medicine Becoming Specialized The Physicians of the Large Cities the First to Adopt it and There are Now Many Throughout the Country. Specialism Is the Idea of the day. Not that every physician can bo a specialist , nor would it bo Justifiable In every doctor becoming one , but there are advantages that can bo derived - rived only by a special practice which Is applicable to certain communities even though the physician himself Is not a bona fide resident of that 1m- medlto vicinity. Small towns nnd the country arc the principal communities In which a specialist could scarcely prosper , but as practiced by some specialists , that of going from one city to another , making his visits and seeing Ills patlenls al regular up- pointed Intervals , ono can derive ad vantages far superior to those re ceived In many Instances by n visit to the cities. Wo cite , for Instance , that of Dr. Caldwell , a specialist of Chicago , who Is and has been making regular visIts - Its to our community for the last two years. Dr. Caldwell came well rec ommended nnd has succeeded In es tablishing a practice far beyond her expectations. She has made many cures nnd has succeeded In building up a reputation and practice among Ihoso whom she has cured tlmt would be hard to got away from her. Dr. Caldwell Is a lady from the now school. Her experience and training have boon gained by many years of practice and the treatment of a vast number of cases. She confines her self to the treatment of chronic , lin gering nnd deep seated ailments. She pretends to euro only such diseases as she has had milllclont experience In handling , , nnd docs not go Into that class of Incurable diseases which In many cases are useless to bother with As a result of long experience , Dr. Caldwell Is thoroughly familiar with her specialties. In the treatment of cancer , consumption , heart disease , nervousness nnd female diseases , there are very few specialists hotter qualified than Dr. Caldwell. Some of her euros seem almost llko miracles. People from far and near consult her as she makes these regular visits nnd she Is always busy from the time sue arrives until the tlmo of her depar ture. It Is claimed by Dr. Caldwoll's friends that she can diagnose a dis ease without a Question.

Ilimugh N'ew . vv.inl ads , for a cent a won ! the i case , she IB not likely to doctor her patient for the wrong ailment , which Is many times done by physi cians < of Inexperience. Dr. Caldwell does ' not treat typhoid fever , whoopIng - Ing cough , measles , and those acute diseases ' which the local home physi cian ' is called upon to treat. It Is nether her desire to antagonize nor to take from the homo physician that part oC the business which really belongs to him. Many times Dr. Caldwell Is la consultation with the home physician and the kindest of feelings should oxlsl between them. Dr. Caldwell Is charitable. In many Instances where people are devoid of funds to pay for their services she charges In such cases for the medi cine only and no person , no matter how humble , has she over turned away without seeking to give them relief.
