The .yUy council today began the all-week
task of' equalizing assessments of property
for purposes of taxation. The session today
was devoted to preliminary work, but a
number of Important and deeply-Involved
contests aro In prospect for the last of
the weekt 'The assessments were made by
City Tsfx Commissioner Altken. A man
who had bean as'scsscd' last year and' for
st)eral years before at $750 entered a very;
vigorous objection to being put down for
$2,760 ibis year. He was perfectly willing,
In other words. In past years to be put
Co-no for J75Q, presumably one-fifth of
what the property was worth, because that
sura ,was not near the correct figure, but
now he objects when, on a cash basts, he Is
cut down about f 1,000 below what the real
valuation of last- year was, although not
the valuation for taxable purposes, which
was one-fifth of J3.760.
The total valuation for the city cannot
be given until the Sixth ward has been
'ooted up, but It will go over KO.OOO.OOO, aa
compared with 15,000,000 a year ago.
The following tablet will give au Idea of
how the levy compares with last year;

YORK CIUNTY VALUATIONS
Increase In Value mt Farm, anil Ern-a
Farmer Onm More
Property.
YORK, Neb., June 11. (Special.) The
assessors of York county have finished their
assessment of property and In most cases
show an Increase of property owned by
farmers. Nearly every farmer In York
county has considerably more corn and
wheat, owns a larger number ot rattle, begs
and horses and Is much better fixed than
In years before.
It Is not generally known that the rail
roads In York county are paying one-sixth
of the York county school, township and
state tax. The taxes paid by the railroad
corporations In York county, not only pay
revenue for expenses and school properties,
but pay nearly enough to wipe out In a
few years the township bonded Indebtedness,
which Is now very small, as most of It has
been paid.
The Burlington railroad pays twice as
much taxes on a mile ot railroad that runs
through a York county section than the
owner of the land pays for the entire sec
tion. The Fremont, Ellkhorn & Missouri
pays S3.C0O a mile and the Kansas City &

Strict Discipline Worth More Than
Carouses in City Park, Says
Military Officer.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, June 11. (Special.) At the
next meeting of the State Military Board
an officer high In authority will submit a
proposition to have the encampment of the
Nebraska National guard this year held In
some secluded and rough section ot the
state, preferably among the lakes In Cherry
county, and at least forty miles from the
nearest town or railroad station. This offi
cial Is prepared to back up his proposition
with an elaborate argument and It is
hinted that at the outset he will have tho
support of several Influential members ot
the board.
For marry years past the guard has held
Its annual encampments near some of the
larger cities and the proposed plan, there
fore, contemplates a radical departure from
the usual custom. It Is argued by the offi
cer who will make the proposition that a
camp of tho kind suggested would be better
for military purposes than one located near
a city. He Insists that the experience of
two weeks spent in rough country under
strict military discipline would be better
for the soldiers than a dozen weeks In some
city park.
Reunion of Grnnd Army.
From advices received here from citi
zens of Hastings It appears evident that the
reunion of the Nebraska department of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be held
during the last week In August or the first
week In September. The time will be de
termined by the Hastings citizens' com
mittee. Speaking ot the reunion Assistant
Adjutant General Howe said today:
"We expect a big attendance at the
Hastings reunion, but it will not be so
large as In some former years, because of
the many district reunions that will be
held in Nebraska this year. These district
meetings detract from the state reunion,
for many of the old soldiers do not care to
attend two In the same season. Next month
thero will bo a district reunion st Nellgh.
Later the northwestern reunion will be
held at Long Pine and the old soldiers of
eastern Nebraska will assemble at Weep
ing Water. Before we had these district
meetings we used to have between 30,000
and 40,000 camping on the grounds. But
as age has crept on many of tho old sol
diers, they feel no longer Inclined to sleep
out ot doors as In the old days, and that
Is another reason why our attendance Is
falling off.
"All indications, however, rolnt to a
pretty good attendance at Hastings. The
citizens of that place are going to give us
good support and that counts for a great
deal."

Errors of the court In sustaining chal
lenges of the state against Jurori, errors
In the proceedings of the trial, in the argu
ment of the prosecuting attorney and In
tho court's Instructions to the Jury, are
cited as grounds for a reversal of the de
cision of the district court of Dodge county
in the case. In which William Rhea was
convicted of murder In the first degree for
killing Herman Zahn. Under the decision
the death penalty Is to be executed August
2, but ss the' case cannot be heard on appeal
before the supreme court until the Sep
tember term, a stay of execution will un
doubtedly be granted,
It Is contended by the attorneys for Rhea
that the court erred in sustaining the
challenges of the state against Charles
Mllgrlm, Dwlght Baker, Frank J. Brazda,
Leslie Truesdell, John Phelps and Ed
Forney, who were summoned to serve on
tho jury. The court Is also said to have
erred in allowing Prosecuting Attorney
Stlnson to say in his closing argument:
"Gentlemen of the Jury, nothing can re
store the once loving hands and kind af
fection of Herman Zahn to his fatherless
little children. All they can do la to stand
at the newly made grave and behold the
spot where lies their loving parent."
Language ot this kind, the attorneys as
sert, was used to appeal to the passions
and prejudices of ths Jurymen. The pe
tition in error concludes by citing numer
ous assignments of error In the court's In
structions to the Jury.
Rhea Is now confined In the state peni
tentiary, having been brought here from
Fremont about a month ago. An effort has
been made to demonstrate that he Is men
tally demented, but the prison authorities
deny the assertion.
Slow Work at Penitentiary.
Work Is progressing slowly at the state
penitentiary on the new cells, for which a
contract was signed by the State Board of
Public Lands and Buildings March 28. Ac
cording to the terms of the agreement, the
company which received ths contract, was
required to have the cells completed and
In position In the cell house on or before
June 1. After the expiration of the time
allowed the company Is liable for a penalty
of 10 per day for all overtime work. The
forfeiture already amounts to J110, and it Is
said that the work will not be completed
bsfore June 25. The noard of Public Land
and Buildings will Insist on the payment
of the full penalty.
The cells that are being constructed are
modern In design and arrangements. They
are of the same style as those used In the
most up-to-date prisons.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. June 11. (Special Tele
gram.) A Btrlp of land six milts wide
south of the Grand river In South Dakota
has been opened rs a cattle trait through
the Cheyenne river reservation, starting at
Evarts. on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Puul rallwav. Au application was made
by tho Chicago & Northwestern railway to
open a similar strip ot land for a cattle
drle considerably south of the drive above
mentioned, but Secretary Hitchcock, after
reviewing the application, decided against
the proposition. Agent Hatch, at the
Cheyenne river agency, has been notified
that a driveway of six miles across South
Dakota from Evarts west has been opened
and cattlemen desiring to use the strip
must apply to the agent in charge ot the
reservation.
Senator Dietrich and daughter left for
the west this morning, but It will be Mon
day before they reach Hastings, as their
Itinerary Includes stops at Chicago, Au
rora, Omaha and Lincoln. Before leaving
tbo senator concluded all pressing mutters
and left instructions as to how he desired
bis affairs handled while he is absent from
the States.
Senator Dietrich said to a reporter for
Tho Bee that he would take with hlro on
his trip a mass ot matter regarding the
Irrigation question, which he hoped to di
gest before reaching the Philippines. "For
I regard that." he said, "as one of the
grcnt problems of the future for which
Intelligent legislation must be enacted."
The senator announced himself as en
thusiastically In favor of an Isthmian cannl
being built by tho United States, which hs
believes will mako America absolutely In
vincible, for It would control the markets
of the world and would be a clearing house
for all nations. He believed the govern
ment could well afford to float a bond
somewhat similar to the Panama bond and
ot such denomination that the whole coun
try' might participate In the project,
thereby insuring strength and stability to
tho cnterpilse. "I have been enthusiastic
for an Isthmian canal for years," he added,
"and I expect to live to sec It not only
built, but stand as a bulwark of our lib
erties." Lizzie Owen has been appointed a utility
clerk In the Lincoln (Neb.) postolTlce.
Reserve agents approved. First National

properly be called blood diseases, for thej undoubtedly oriei&ate in tie blood, like
Cancer, Catarrh, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, etc. ; the only
real difference litig in the intensity and nature of the- poison. The more serious
diseases, Cancer, Catarrh, etc , are caused by some specific poison or virus, which
is either inherited or in other ways gets into the blood and attacks certain vital
organs or appears in the form of terrible sores and ulcers, while the milder and
less drtngerous 6kin dtaeaes are caused by blood humors or aa over acid condition
of that fluid. These acid poisons, as they ooze out through the pores of the skin,
cause great irritation, with intense itching and burning. The eruption inay be of
a pustular l.ind, with excessive discharge of thick, gummy fluid, or the sk'iti may
be hot, dry aud feverish, swollen and fissured. Skin diseases, whether they appear
as sores, blotches or nimnles.

To purify and build up the polluted blood is the right treatment for skin
diseases, nnd'for this purpose no other medicine is so deservedly popular aa S. S. S.
It is a perfect antidote for all blood humors, and when taken into the circulation,
gently but thoroughly eliminates all impurities and puts- the blood in a healthy,
normal state. The akin can't remain in an irritated, digested condition when
nourished with rich, new blood. S. S. S. is the only guaranteed purely vegetable
remedy, and the safest and best skin beautrSer. Write our physicians if you hava
any blood or skin disease, and they will cheerfully advise you without charge.
