FARM LOANS
Tho ofTico of tho clerk ot tho district
court was a busy placo yesterday owing to
tho rush of attorneys to get their cases
filed In tlmo for tho March term. Tho pres
ent Indications are that both the equity nnd
law docket will bo unusually heavy, whllo
tho criminal calendar will bear about the
avcrago number of cases In nddltlon to those
left over from this term for want of tlmo
to try them. Among the filings yesterday
wero two personal Injury damage suits and
four moro divorce cases,
J. C. Nellscn brings suit against tho city
of Council Muffs for 15,000 damages for al
leged Injuries claimed to have been received
by stumbling over a stopbox that pro
truded above the level of tho sidewalk at
Tenth street and Droadway. Nielsen claims
to havo been permanently injured by a rup
ture on tho right Bido resulting from a fall
caused by stumbling over this obstruction.
Nielsen's accident was ono of tho causes
that led to tho city council passing an or
dinance recently which compels tho ownors
of all stopboxes to havo them placed Hush
with the sidewalk, no matter whether tho
walk is on grade or not.
DnnniRCH for Crushed I. en.
Mrs. S. A. Plcrco is the plaintiff In n per
sonal damago suit against tho Omaha &

in wnicu buo asks for $2,000. On Novcmbor
25 of last year, whllo Mrs. Plcrco was stop
ping onto a motor car the gnto was closed
beforo sho had been ablo to lift her foot
from tho bottom step and tho result wns
that the anklo and leg wero crushed. Tho
Injury Is alleged to havo confined her to tho

Although ho has been In ofllco only slnco

Tho Inquest over John Thomas, tho recluse
who wns found dead In bed yesterday at his
homo at Twenty-sixth street and Avcnuo I
D, was concluded yesterday morning. The '
Jury brought In a verdict to tho oltcct that
death was duo to natural causes.
Mrs, Mary Frodcrlcksen, sister ot tho
dead mnn, wns tho most Important witness
at tho Inquest yesterday morning. She tes
tified that her brother, who was only 37 years
of age, and not 50 ns had generally been
supposed, had been a chronic sufferer from
asthma nnd heart trouhlo for years. Sho
said that sho always understood that her
brother had nt least $10,000 In cash. If this
Is correct thero Is still about Jij.OOO to bo
accounted for. Her brother, sho testified,
nover told her where he kept his money,
but Bhe believed ho kept his valuable papers
In the snfo of somo friend, but did not
know whose.
Just prior to tha, election or President
McKlnloy, It is said that Thomas, believ
ing the country In an unBafo condition
financially, withdrew nil his rnonoy from tho
bunks nnd changing It Into gold, burled It.
As soon as McKlnley was elected, however,
ho dug it up and deposited It In the banks
ngnln. It Is thought possible that part of
tho money, which his sister states ho had,
is buried nnd a search will probably bo mnilo
for It.
The funeral will bo held Sunday afternoon
nt 2 o'clock from Estcp's undertaking rooms
nnd Itev. J. S. Strain will conduct tho
services.

Snltx for Divorce.
One of tho suits for divorce Is a sequel
to tho assault and abduction caso In which
Gcorga D. Smith of Missouri Valley re
cently flgurod and served a sentence In .the
county jail for. Ills wife, Ida ,Muy Smith,
asks tho court to sever the bonds which
sho entered Into with Gcorgo II. Smith
November 28, 1S9C, in Missouri Valley. Sho
recites in her petition a number ot instances
in which sho alleges her husband beat,
bruised, choked her and otherwise mla
trated hor. Tho last straw, howover, that
broke tho camel's back was the assault .ti
this city Fobruary 23 last, when Smith
knocked hor down on tho street and took
away from her their baby daughter. In
addition to tho divorce Mrs. Smith asks
to bo given tho custody of their two small
children.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hlrtes was married to
George II. Hlrtes In Omaha September 23,
1890, and asks for a divorce on tho grounds

minor children.
Mrs. Louolla Dobson Is another wife who
has found marrlago In her enso to bo a
failure and seeks release. Sho was married
to William Dobson In Alliance, la., in
March, 1885. Judging from her story of ill
treatment, as set forth in tho petition on

the happiest. Sho alleges that her hus
bond was repeatedly guilty of most cruel
and Inhuman treatment and that on occa

DES MOINES, Morch 16. (Special Tele
gram.) Alter a two days' debate the seu
ato brought one ot tho Cheshire amendments
to a vote today. It Is the ono providing
the unit Bystcm of taxation for cxprcos com
panies and it passed with only ono dissent
ing vote, that of Lewis, who offered a num
ber of amendments designed to euro ntleged
unconstitutionality of tho measure, and all
of which ncro defeated.
Tho Bamo prlnclplo will bo taken up again
next week In bills relating to telegraph
and telephone compnnles, nnd a much bigger
fight Is anticipated than that of thin week.
Lewis' principal objection to the present
bill was tho Drovlslon that mortgages out
standing against tho property of express
companies should be returned to the state
auditor and added to tho market value of
tho shared of stock of the corporation lu
ordor to find tho real valuo of tho prop
erty from which hould bo deducted all
property not used In the immediate business
of tho companies.
This afternoon an amendment offered by
Ball precipitated a long argument. The
bill as drafted by the commlttco proposes
thnt tho 'value of lines sbnll bo distributed
equally over the entire systems of the com
panies taxed In thin way nnd the Iowa valu
ation shall bo in proportion to tho Iowa
mileage.
Senator Ball objected to this on tho ground
thnt linen in somo other states might be
worth more or less than in Iowa and the
application of an averago valuation would
bo an Injustice. So ho offered an amend
ment to euro this. It wns discussed ut
length and finally voted down. Tho bill
ns It pawscd U as It was reported by tho
commlttco with one slight chungo.
Tho house, nftor n lengthy discussion, re
referred tho bill for the creation of a de
partment for building and loan to the build
ing nnd loan committee with Instructions to
report It by next Tuesday.
DlNpiinnl of Other Illlla,
The Tcmplo bill for tho creation of nn ap
pellato court to relievo the, supremo court
was passed by the houso by a voto of 67
to 22.
Tho house also passed tho senate bill le
galizing tho Polk county court house elec
tion, the bill empowering stato and savings
banks to receive deposits ten times their
capital stock, and the ono for the Inspection
of naphtha, gasollno and electric boats, tho
same as steam and sail boots.
Today In both houses bills were Introduced
proposing to legalize tho permits of pharma
cists, which havo been held to bo knocked
out tho snmo as saloon petitions under the
recent supremo court decision. In tho scn
ato tho bill was Introduced by Emmcrt,
chalrmnn of the pharmacy committee, nnd It
was allowed to go at onco on tho calendar
and made a special order for March 23 at
10 o'clock.
Townsend Introduced tho moasure In the
house nnd ltxwai sent1 to the committee on
phnrmacy thero Ffvo othor now bills were
Introduced, 'butfBone 'ofunny importance.
Tho senate today passed two emergency
bills. Ono was1 introduced by Trowln, chair
man ot tho committee on cities and towns,
to correct a defect in tho code by which the
provision nllowing all cities and towns to
levy special taxes for tho purchaso and erec
tion of waterworks and electric light plants
originally intended to apply to both cities
and towns, applied only to tho former.. The
bill cures this defect and legalizes taxes al
ready voted under tho original Intent of the
section, nnd was passed unanimously. A
bill Introduced by Garst, chairman of the
appropriations committee, was passed. It
appropriates $2,215 for tho Industrial Homo
for the Blind at Knoxvllle, to pny tho ex
penses of the Institution until the closo of
this biennial period, which ends June 30,
1900, nftcr which tho home will probably be
abandoned nnd the Inmates enred for else
where. After a long discussion the house killed the
bill by Black of Mills to provldo for the
election of members of tho Board of Super

Miss Muud Bcnits, of Scipio,
Intl., says:
"Something over three years
ago, I became nfiected with ner
vousness and neuralgic troubles.
This continued until a year ago,
after which time I was almost con
stantly confined to my bed. The
neuralgia gradually grew worse;
nervous debility set in, nnd I was
completely run clown. My blood
was impure, watery, while my
complexion was sallow nnd color
less. 1 had no strength, nnd was
almost completely helpless. The
doctor finally advised me to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People.
"Father bought a couple of
boxes of the pills and after taking
the first box I was much improv
ed. I think I must have used
nbout a dozen boxes with the re
sult that I was entirely cured, and
have since had no symptoms what
ever of my old trouble."
