Read the following", by William Cole,
M. D., Washington, p. C. published In the
United States Iavestlgatlng Reports, re
garding the prescription from whlcn this
remedy for curing Lost Manhood la pre
pared. " ' s v .-
During the examination of men for the
army' during our recent war with Spain
our United States-army physicians were
hocked to find so. large a percentage of
men disqualified because of nervous dis
orders. It is not the purpose of these re
ports to enter into a statement of causes,
other than to say that the sufferer is sel
dom to blame. His condition la Indeed
deplorable; his memory fails him. his ne
rgy gone, .his syeelght dimmed, his
muscles soft and Ms nervous stamina
gone. He Is pitied by those versed in
nervous disorders and repelled by those of
both sex who do nut understand how dark
the world la to him.
Some fifteen years sgo the writer gave
attention to the cure or nervous disorders
and .found that the late Dr. Wilson, pro
fessor of chemistry and practitioner of
medicine In Bellevue Madlcal college of
New York, had a formula of wonderful
power to restore to men the fullness of
their physical and mental strength. In the
year 18&S the celebrated Dr. Wilson died
ami his formula has been obtained by L. F.
Page of 201 State stynet, Marshall, Mich.,
who prepares it according to the original
prescription, and from our analysts of the
same by our board ot Investigation we find
It composed ot pure and fresh drugs and
that It is sold under the name of "Dr.
Wilson's Restorative Remedies."- Our In
vestigation was extended Into a great
number of similar preparations, none of
which were found equal to the above, while
many were prepared by those who knew
little or nothing about therapeutics or ma
teria medlca. We hereby rautlon the pub
lic against the use of all uncertain remedies-
and all who need nerve, life-giving
medicine we recommend them to take Dr.
Wilson's Restorative Remedies, prepared
and sold by L. F. Page, U State street.
Marshall, Mich., and unto the aforesaid Dr.
Wilson's Restorstive Remedlea we extend
the official indorsement of the United
States Investigating Reports.
- To every one who wrltea In good faith 1
will send the full formula of this wonder
ful medicine. . This prescription and full
directions are aent free. Have It filled,
or. If you desire, you can buy "the reme
dlea and prepare it privately Just aa well
yourself.. - One. prescription will make a new
man 'of you.'. 'One dose will be- enough to
convince yqt;ot,Jts marvelous power.
.Among those whose attention has been
attracted by this magnanimous offer Is the
Rev. J. 8. B. Crawford of Waynesvllle, N.
C. a. very prominent divine, whose own
vitality waa . seriously . Impaired. .. Being
sick of paying money to quacka and char
latans who took his money without doing
him any good, Mr. Crawford had the pre
scription made up and took It regularly, aa
ha was directed. With this result, he was
perfectly eured, and after severs! years of
enjoyment ot hla newly given powers, made
the statement publicly that every man in
need of help ahould do likewise.
There are not many ministers who would
be wilting to publicly endorse and recom
mend a cure ot this kind, with the state
ment that they themselves had been cured
by it, but the Rev. Crawford has In htm
a great deal of true gratitude and love of
mankind. , This Is shown In a recent letter
In which he says that he makes public ac
knowledgment "In order that others may
receive the aame happy results.''
You are older now and can look back and

SUSTAINS GOVERNMENT SHE OF QUESTION

Made In All Maes Teller Helps
t Swell Chora at Admlal
traltlea Critic.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11. A stirring de
bate on the general Philippine question wss
precipitated In the senate late today, the
principal participants being Mr. Tlatt of
Connecticut and Mr. Hoar of Jfsstachuietta.
Mr. Telkr of Colorado had. coaeluded for
the day his argument acalnat the enact
ment of the pending Philippine tariff bill.
In response to some statements he made,
Mr. Piatt directed the senate's attention to
the situation in the Islands at he viewed it,
maintaining that great progresa waa being
made' by the government la subduing the
Insurrection. Ha referred, to the elections
for municipal officers in the various cities
and the establishment of, schools.
Mr. Hoar ridiculed the tatementa of Mr.
Piatt and la a facetious vela adverted to
the efforta ot the Americas government to
control the Filipino people. The remarks
of the Massachusetts senator roused Mr.
Piatt and In a facetloua vela adverted to
the course of which be referred to Mr. Hoar
In pretty sharp terms. Hla ' sneech was
listened to by senators oa both aldea ot the
bamber with profound attenUoa. Is con
clusion he paid an eloquent tribute to the
efforts of tne United States to -carry the
principles free government to every ter
ritory where it hsd control.
- Hoar Returns tha Fire.'
In reply Mr. Hoar delivered an Incisive
criticism of the action of the Philippine
commission, declaring that: he had been
taught to Judge men rather by their actlona
than by their words, and by this standard
he could not Judge the Philippine commla-
loners with any degree- of favor. ..
Early In the day the senate paaaed a Joint
resolution submitting a. constitutional
amendment changing the time of the presi
dential Inaugurations and the time of the
commencement of the term of congress
from the 4th of March to the last' day ot
April. , r :
Among the other measures passed were:

Teller Reopen DlscassUn.
At 1 p. m. consideration of the Phlllnnlna
tariff bill was returned. Mr. Teller, who
had the floor when the senate adjourned
yesterday, continued hla speech. He did
not think the holding of the Philippines by
this government aver would be erofltabla
and he could aee readily that It might prove
aangeroua. it waa contrary, to American
principle to hold any people Is subjec
tion by force. Nobody, he said, waa likely
to question the right ot the United States
to hold the Philippine archipelago. No na
tion would dare to raise such a Question.
met question might .he raised In the
American congress, but nowhere els.
He felt that a profound mistake had bees
made la the early trsatnt of the people
of the Philippines, but 'the question had
been passed and it waa now our duty to do
what waa' right Nobody believed, ha In
sisted, that the United States could force
upon the Filipino Its government or its
civilisation. Those people were ot a dif
ferent race from the Abglo-Bazon and audi
government aa would be deatrabla tor
Americana would not be desirable for the
Filipinos.
Is the whole history of the world."
said he, "no nation haa ever elevated the
people ot another race or nation against
the protest of the people whom It was
attempted to elevate.
It people are over elevated," he de
clared, "they must elevate themselves by
their own efforts.-
Wants Infinite Deere.
Referring to the assertion that ths United
States waa a creature of destiny la Ha con
nection with the Philippine Islands and that
this government waa but carrying out the
decrees of providence among the people ot
the archipelago. Mr. Taller declared that
he ahould want a plain edict from the Al
mighty an edict that he would know did
not coma from the evil one before ha
would be willing to accept th auppoaed
decree of destiny, .
"I could well Imagine," said he, . "that
the. methods we are pursuing might em
anate from the, evil one, but I cannot tfh
agin that they ahould emanate- from th
great lover of the human' race. I tnalet
that In all this- business His vole haa not
been heard. If there is any reason why
Americana ahould be la - the Philippine
islands . it cannot be found la th com
mand ot the Almighty." '
Chars Asalnet AdaalnlatrntUn.
Bom evil Influence, he Bald, dominated
and controlled - the executive department
of the government and . the government's
voice waa no ' longer for peace, but for
war. Had th administration declared tta
present policy toward the Philippines at
th outset the treaty with Spain would
not have bees ratified.
Is the twenty-two years of hla aervlc
is the senate., he aald. h had aeen many
strange things, but never anything like the
reading of .the so-called enactments 6f
th Philippine commission,' which, he said,
was a compendium of .' tyranny, and In
famy. . . ' k ' , . "
Mr. Foraker aald that the sedition and
treason laws enacted tor th Philippines
were almoet identical with those of Tenn
easee.
Mr. Teller expreseed the opinion that
the Filipinos never would consent to our
control of th Islands
Piatt Aake HittUoa.,
"Is
the senator - entirely certain,"
In
trctd Mr. Piatt ot Connecticut, "that
a majority of jbe Christian people ot the
islands ao sot consent to. r vur govern
ment
Mr. Teller eiDlalned that If ha eauld
trust th information which had tons to
him, not one-tenth of th people wanted
the United Statea government In the la
lands. He urged, however, that th Fill
plaos ought t b afforded aa opportunity
to expreaa their eentlmeata Without fear
ef bayonet rule.
Mr. Culberaoa Interrupted to aay that
Generals MaeArtbur aad Chaffs both were
en record as saying that practically th en
tire populatloa of th Islands waa eppoaed
to American rule and that Governor Taf t
had testified that th Christiana In the

Islands wer vigorously opposed to the
control of this government.
Continuing Mr. Teller said that "not a
small percentage, but practically no per
cent" of the Flllplnoa wanted American
government In the kilanda.
American Army (irewi Smaller.
Mr. Piatt of Connecticut, replying to
ome statements made by Mr. Teller,
pointed out that ths Amerlcss army In the
Philippines had been reduced from 70,000 to
less than 40,000. He thought It very
strange that ths American force could be
reduced thus If all the Filipinos were strug
gling agalnat American control.
"We ought to concede facts," he urged.
W ought to take things aa they are, and
not things aa.they be conjured up. We are
getting along reasonably well In those
Islands. Peace will come to them and a
government will be established therein
where the Filipino themselves will have
large part and which will pro-e t be a
blessing to them."
He pointed Out' that elections were being
held In the Islands to choose municipal offi
cers, ad In these elections all (ha people
had a part. After he had read a consid
erable number ot declarations from native
Filipinos, indicating a growing apprecia
tion ot American control and government,
Mr. Piatt declared that nothing the minor
ity could say would convince him that the
United States government waa not making
rapid progress In the -Philippines toward
peace and contentment.
' . Hoar Rlnleale Plat. '
Mr. Hoar ridiculed the actlona to which
Mr. Piatt referred, declaring that under th
sedition laws- enacted by the ' Philippine
commission It waa a penltenttary offense
for a body In the Islands to advocate a po
litical opinion or political policy. He hoped
that the roseate views of Mr. Piatt might
obtain soon In th Philippines, but that he
entertained great doubt.
Mr. Hoar's remarks called forth a vig
orous utterance 'from Mr. Piatt, who aald
that hla respect for the long and distin
guished career of the senator from Massa
chusetts would prevent him from replying
aa he would reply to some others. He be
lieved,' he said, that the' American people
would regret the ."sneers" of the aenator
from Massachusetts at the government to
educate the children', of the Philippine
Islands.
Speaking of the petition tor Independence
presented to congress a year ago, to which
Mr. boar had referred, Mr. Piatt aald they
Wer paraded here cow aa they had been
at the time ot their presentation, a posi
tive proof that all the Filipino people
wanted Independence and freedom from
American control. He Intimated that they
had been prepared by the Filipino Junta
either in Hong Kong or In Boston," and
asserted that they bora on their face evi
dence of being "machln mad."
Tribal to Governor Taft.
Mrv Piatt paid a high tribute to Gov
ernor Taft and hi associates on the Phil
ippine commission, and inquired:
"Is what these men say about the Phil
ippine Islands to be whistled down by th
ind ot our friends oo. the other side,
reinforced by the senator from Massachu
setts I Personally, I purpose to trust to
th Philippine commission.
"That oommlsslon has presented evidence
of th remarkable evidence of th progress
being made In the archipelago toward peace
and toward a happy solution of the situation
there. Civil government has been estab
lished in thirty-four provinces, and that
government was being operated to .the en
tire satisfaction of the people."
Mr. Hoar Interrupted to inquire If Mr,
Piatt thought th Filipinos woujd hsv
adopted the treason law enacted by ' th
Phllippln commission had It ben aub-
attted. to litem. ,v i -
Th Connecticut aenator replied 'thai he
could not' say,, but Connecticut tad's law
which the people of that state had . sever
found Inconsistent with . their, rights , and
liberties. Hs . read th law, which proved
to be not dissimilar to that which wa. en
acted In th Philippines. - ;
Pregress f Edaeatlon.- '
' He pointed out ss one of the benlflcent
results of the American occupancy of the
Philippines that schools had been estah
liahed In the island and that nearly 1,000
American teachers had one to the archi
pelago to educate ' the Filipino ' children.
Prior to the arrival of those teachora li
the Islands private soldiers from the Amer
ican army had been-detailed as teachers
In many of the schools. Against this effort
of the American government to educate
and elevate ths people of the Philippine
the senator from Massachusetts, he aald,
waa directing hla "sneers and hla denuncla
tlons."
Mr. Flatt then read the treason law re
ferred to by Mr. Hoar to ahow that It waa
directed against th formation of secret so
cieties, the purpoee ot which was, In whole
or In part, the promotion of sedition, rebel
lion and treason.
'It seem strange," aald he, "that hu
man observation can be ao warped to draw
Such conclusions from th enactment ot
this law aa had been draws by ths aenator
from Massachusetts."
Government Will Trlamph.
'If w ar a government worthy of the
name." said Mr. Piatt, with great vehe
mence, "whenever men take up arms
agalnat the United Btates In any district
or territory where the United Statea la
obaerved, w will put that Insurrection
down. No perversion of the glories of
liberty, will prevent the American people
from putting down rebellion .wherever it
may raise its hateful head."
In conclusion hs said:
"I believe the time Is coming when ths
world sbsll be Christianized, when th
world shall be controlled by Christian gov
ernmeht, and I believe th United 8tates Is
appointed, providentially, aa agent for that
purpose."
Mr. Hoar-replied" particularly to Mr.
Platt'a discussion ot the treason law en
acted by the Philippine commission and his
statementa concerning the Connecticut stat
ute, which he had read. -He maintained
that the Connecticut senator had not quoted
accurately the Philippine statute, because
he had omitted a portion ot It, which he
asserted sustained the position he (Hoar)
had taken and the statements he had mad.
The senate at 6:45 p. m. adjourned.

latter deposited among four other local
banka and a trust compaay, ar legal.
It the, are held to be Illegal because of
Cashier Andrewa having certified to them
without the knowledge of the dlrectora, It
la thought that the assets of the City Sav

to It by F. C. Andrews, will be sufficient
to pay depositor If :ll.
On the contrarv. it -JeV are' held to bt
legal, It will take- Just that amount from
the depositors. President F. C. Plngree
said today that be believed the checks

F. C. Andrewa has cot turned ever to

At a special meeting today of th Board

At th close of a meeting this afternoon

COFFEE DOES IT. ,
Facta Not, Generally Believed.
' i "
It la curious to watch a coffee toper and
obterv how he or ah will resist all sug
gestions as to coffee being the cauae of their
various aliment.
They will charge the coated tongue and
bilious condition to something they have
eaten, likewise the wretched condition of
the bowels and the palpitation of the heart
The sallow complexion la generally at
trlbuted to a "haturslly bilious" tempera
tnant. '
' But once. In a while a peraon wakes up
and throws oft coffee entirely; thea the
truth begins to appear, and It ia an easy
Job to make thla change if Postum Food
CfiCtee is taken In place ot ceffe. ' ,
A man In West Plains, Mo., writes: "As
the coffee' habit' grew oa me my health de
clined la th aame ratio. I waa' subject to
nervousness, constipation, dyspepsia and a
general weak feeling, which made tne unfit
tor business, snd finally I became ao nerv
oua snd thoroughly- broken down that I
could not attend to business and turned
everything over to soy assistant and wsnt
to the mountains In Colorado, hoping to
find health In change of climate but after
sis Months sojourn I came back In wone
condition than I left. '
"A friend Insisted that I quit coffee and
try Postum, aad although I did not believe
It waa the cause of mr HI health, I coa
aented to try the new collets, 1 bought a
package and wife prepared It atriotly ae
cording to directions and I was wonderfully
pleased to find it so delicious and refresh
tng; th quitting of coffee was a pleasure
rather than a task. '..
"I hav now been drinking I' oat am tor
ever a year and my health ha steadily 1m
prved; th nervousness snd dyapspsls
hav entirely disappeared. I have gained
S pound in weight and feci at least tea
years younger than I did a year ago.
"Many ot my friends hve quit coffee snd
ars using Postum and I do not know of

Soma of these did sot like Postum at Brat
but la every caae I found the caus to

Th directions sr easy enough to follow
and when followed delicious beverage la
the result, but some slovenly cooks put It

does not make good Postum. After the

NEW YORK, Feb. 11. (Special Tele-.
gram.) Fifty-three million dollar of new
insurance policies In the first six weeks of
th yesr Is the remarkable high water
record announced by one of the foremoat
life Insurance companies. Th announce
ment la made today on the occaalon of the
celebration of the tenth anhtversary oftbe
election of Hon. John A. McCaull to the
presidency of the New York ,Ufe Insursnc
company.
Insurance men and financiers admit that
thla Is one of the strongest Indications
of the genersl prosperity of the country
that haa been presented sine th dawn
of th new year. President . McCaull la
being showered with telesrams and letters
of congratulation from officials and agents
of the New Tors tlfe all over the land.
In his report, made at th beginning ot
th year. Mr. McCaull foreshadowed th
era of Insurance activity now prevalent
He Insisted that the old. style of manage
ment, which was disposed to quibble over
the settlement of claims, and which de
filed th right ot th insured to loans and
surrender value on demand, must give
way to more liberal Ideas, and also that
an open record ot all transactions ot the
yeaf ahould be furnished annually to the
Insured. It waa hif-dly anticipated, how
ever, that the response would be so epon-
taneoue or of auch dimensions.
Fifty-three million dollar la more new
business than many of th larger com
panies have hitherto been able to. write
in the course of twelve month. . Should
th present rat of new Insurance keep
up for the -year, the New York. Uf..wl,U
secure $300,000,000 In new pald-for poli
cies, a figure o tar In advtnca ot anything
hitherto achieved that .Uer Is no oppor.

An ma h1f Action la void. ' ?
The action or tne city council aa vuaru
of equalisation oa January 17 at 1 p. m.,
was not a hearing, therefore, upon the
merits of. the Morion and Shrlver com
plaints. Hasoall'a motion disposing of the
eighty-eight eomplainte atates that they
wer heard and fully considered and die
posed of, but th record aa made by the
City clerk aay that only the Omaha Real
Eetate exchange had a hearing and there
Is nothing in the. reeord Itself t show
that the Shrlver and Morton complaints
were ever heard. ; .
As I read the statute, it Is the duty of
the cfty council, sitting; aa a board of
equalisation, to hear all complaints that
may be filed. That' Is what they are sit
ting as a board ot equalisation for. The
law requires them to give notice of the
length of time they will sit as a board of
equalisation; the object of thla notice la
mat ail persons jeenna inoniBtivrn
grieved may file complaints and when so
filed should be heard by the board. I do
not a area with Mr. Moraman In his state
mnt that tha council, while sitting as a
board of equalisation has no power to raise
an assessment, .i nt. cnarier oi muim
corporations, metropolitan i-laas, provides
for the assessment of property by the tax
commissioner ana his deputies.
Powers of Board Limited
ft a Inn nrnvMea tor "a board of review
and th power delegated to that board of
review are limited. They almply review
the aaaeaament a made ana tney may cor
Mt erenra of undervaluation or over.valua-
- - . . . , . .
tlon, and in casa taey raise me valuation
of any property they are required to give
the owner notice that he may ahow cause,
if any, why the assessment should not be
raised, but there te no provision for a tax
payer filing a complaint ana nsving a
hearing before th board of review. The
law requires the city council to sit as a
board of equalisation and provides for the
adoption by the city council, of rules for
the filing and hearing of complaints and
whan thea romnlalnts ar filed. they
sho-ild be heard and disposed of on their
merits and not overruiea or aismiaaea tor
mere technicalities, and one of the first
things the city council did when It organ
ised aa. a board of equalisation was to
adopt a rule that all complaints must be
In writing and tiled with tne city ciem.
xtmtnr th lwiurd nf equalisation overruled
the first complaint filed by Shrlver and
Morton they had entertained the five com
plaints wnicn wer niea Dy ennver arm
Morton on January IS, and which torn
niini vara m.t th same in form and
auhatanre aa th ft rat complaint Died by
uM nart ea. -There was no mention mane
In the fhst complaint filed that li.tmu.uuo

I taxable. J nere was no menuuu mum
in the first complaint that tn franchise
of these different corporations which are
taxable had been omitted, but In the last
complaint tbeae matters sre all set forth.
Aftar tha n una . or ineae laai compiainia.
tha rliv council ordered the city clerk to
notify the corpora tlona of the time of the
bearing which was,, oy mouon. set ior
Monday, January 30, at t p. m. It Is urged
by the defendants that the motion which
waa carried setting Monday, Janjwry uu,
at i n mn.. aa a time for healing said com-
nlalnts. was in connici wun me ruiea oi
tha rltv rouDill. aa a motion had been
previously made for the same purpose and
lost ana no mouon mauo lv rei-uuaiucr,
Retards lavestlscated.
But we find from the record that after
the motion was made and carried Setting
January 20, at t p. m., a a time for hear
ing aald complaints, there was a motion
made by Haacall striking from the records
the previous motion and also a motion by
Hascall not to notify the corporations.
These motions wer made and carried
without a reconsideration of the previous
motion, and If one motion was out of order
then they were all out of. order.
These proceeding were all before the
resolution NO.-1M was propoaea ny me cu
rnunril as a board of equalisation, ao
while reaolutlon in may have disposed ot
the previous complaints filed by Bhriver
and Morton, It certainly could not affect
the last complaint, which was pending for
hearing. After the paaalng ot the reaolu
tlon 16 and before the time set for the
hearing -of the - last complaints, we find
the records, or the minutes made by the
city. clerk, show that ther were then thlr
t v-Ana nrotmta or cosnDlalnts on 111 and
not disposed of. and the record further
shows that a motion wa made that no
further complaints be conaldered or heard
and that those on file be overruled without
a hearing, which motion waa carried. This
was an arbitrary action on the part of
the City council and from which it appears
that the plaintiffs hav not had a hearing
upon the last complaints filed by thorn,
and until the city council give them a
bearing upon ttuta complaint they should
not be permitted to make fch levy. The
Injunction will, therefore, be continued tn
force until th City council, sitting s
board of eo.iallrailon. glvee the plaintiff
a fair and Impartial hearing on their rom
pUlnta or until the supreme court shall
jiaaa upon the mandamua case now pend
ing before It. The motion to vacate the
temporary Injunction Is .overruled.
City Attorney's Arsament.
The argument cf City Attorney. Connell
occupied an hour of the afternoon aesslon.
He said In part:
"In view of the decision of the court that
the value bt the property of the franchlsed
corporations 1 not to be considered, the
real question for the court now is whether
a hearing had been granted the plaintiffs
on (heir complaint that the valuation waa
below the 40 per cent baala and ahould be
raised." t
He then proceeded to make reference to
the records Introduced In evidence, showing
that a time had been fixed for a hearing
of the complaints sgainat the corpora
tions; that each ot the corporatlona bad
been notified of auch hearing and that In
pursuance of such notice the corporatlona
and the Complainants bad been heard. He
called special attention to th Judgment
of the board of equalisation disposing of
the eighty-eight eomplainte and determin
ing that the valuation of the property of
the franchlsed corporations should remain
aa fixed and determined by the board of re
view. He claimed that Mr. Mcintosh had
utterly falKd to meet these points, but bad
rested his case entirely on tour proposl
Hons. First, that th people were with
him; second,' that the sewspapera wer
with him; third, that th supreme court
was with him. aa evidenced by th order
permitting htm to tile bis application for
mandamua; fourth, that God was with him.
as evidenced on every hand by the wishes
of godspeed.
"As to the first," said Mr. Connell, "I
claim that all good eltUens favor an equal
and. Just assessment of property for taxa
tion, but I don't beilev any citizens hav
ing Omaha's Interest at heart would favor
the repudiation of the bonds and coupona
of the oily which are aoon to com due,
and which wlir greatly Injure the credit ot
the city it not paid at maturity. H
continued: . . " .. v '
Considers Motlvs) Misunderstood. .'
A T hailava that If tha people of
Omaha, understood the motive actuating
thla contest and th injury It will .do tne
city, they would favor his action. It would
he a case oi enounng ni .i.w
rather than fly to thoee they know not of.
As to the newspapers, they are, like In
dividuals, often moved Jhy partisan feeling
and the court cannot take cognisance of
their artloh-s. As to the supreme court, I
contend that, had Mr. Mcintosh fully and
fairly stated all th facts In his application
for mandamus, the court never would have
permitted htm to file. It; that to thst court,
as to this one, Mr. Mclntoch has purposely
omitted to state tome facts that were
proper and necessary for a Just determina
tion of the controversy. And with refer
anra in tha rindaDepd which he claims has
been extended to him on every side I would
call his attention to tne case oi ananiM
nA Kinithlra. .who had fatal ludgment
Tironounced against them, not for willful
ylng, but tor keeping back the truth.
City Attorney Connell then again re
ferred to his original contention, that the
only question before the court waa whether
the aubject matter of the five new com
piainia OI tne piemuuB uau ur uau uin
been heard, considered and determined by
the council in connection with the eighty-
eight complaints which Included the nine
filed by Morton snd Shrlver, and which re
lated sorely 4oihe ralaing of valuations Of
the five franchlsed corporations.
Attorney . Molntoah argued the Connell
motion for nearly an hour Monday after
noon and yesterday morning he continued
that argument from 9:30 until IS o'clock
noon. 'C . '
..- Object af His -Argament.
In bis argument Mr. Mcintosh again went
over' aome ef th ground previously covered
and ad- innsmerabl authorities which
were not confined to those'of Nebraska. He
devoted Ale principal effort 'to showing that
hla I'cllenta toad never yel had a hearing on
their' complaints, that ' they ' wer entitled
to be allowed Such a healing, that it is not
mandatory that th council pass th levy
at the first meeting In February; bvlt that
it would b a great "error to paae It aa It
now Is, leaving ground tor endlee future
suit on th alleged fact that it would be
void. He aald: ' .
Nothing bad, been adjudicated up to
the time of the filing of the Morton-Shrlver
complaints and the whole matter, being
still before th courts, wa atlll open.
But auopose the council bad overruled an
previous eomplainte, That would not con
stitute an adjudication of these, because 10
such adjudication th parties or their
prlvya must b the same; they must sus
In the "same right; they must set forth
the same ground as a baala tor asking the
relief thst they do; and they must ask the
same relief. . As to the first, the parties
are not the aame) because' Morton and
Shrlver are now demanding hearing on
these complaints In behalf of all the tax
payers ot ths city, not In behalt ot the
two-themselves,' as was the case before.
They do not sue In the earn right, .for
Shrlver ' filed the other as a property
owner.- They d hot set forth the aame
ground, for now they eotitend that tn
baala ot taxation assessment la 40 psr cent
and the eorporatlona ar not assessed at.
that much, whereae the prevloua conten
tion was simply a complaint by Shrlver
that pieces of his property, and by Morten
that plecea ot hie property were, compared
with the corporntiotfs,, sasessed dispropor
tionately. And ws ars not suing tor the
same relief, -for the old request was simply
for a raise of assessments, but we ask that
an investigation be made; that the cor
poration officers be compelled to produce
their books and that tns assessments oe
raised to full 40 per cent ot the fair cash
value aa ao aacertalned.
No Hearing n Thee Complaints.
'I say that nobody ever had a hearing on
a complaint auch aa those that were filed
January 18. Th proceedings of January
IT .war. t la shown right on -ths records,
divided .In tlm between th Real Kstate
exchange and Ah corporation and : was
practically nothing mors than argument
n a .demurrer to.th former's petition be
cause ot Its form. , And. surely, sn sdjudl
cation on a form of proceedure la not an
adjudication ot tb merits of ths oomplsint
Ths, merits ot .the latter cannot be gone
Into., and when, thea people com in here
and Ml up th. proceedings ot the 17th as
a hearing on thea complaints tit my clients
they sre aa false to their duty as were
those five-councilman In their blgh-handsd
proceedings. ....
Lery Wot In Dssgsr.
''Hence your honor cannot aay that th
matter of these eomplainte baa been gone
Into, nor bold that we hav not a right to
hearing. . But counael contends that the
levy will be void if not made at tha first
meeting in February. I hav two reasons
for denying this statement First, tha
council is and will be legally prevented
from doing so by this Injunction Second,
the provision la not a mandatory one, but
merely a directory one. It resds thst the
council and mayor, ahall pass ths levy
ordinance it thla first meetingln February
which la on a certain day, yet few ordi
nances ever paaa them both oa the aame
day. They cannot if the council follow itt
own rule. All statutes providing a tlm
are purely directory unless the data la th
very essence ot the thing required, so that
if thla injunction is continued a valid tag
may be levied after there haa been time
for a hearing and a raising of the assess
ments. Counsel simply realties that this
plea of Invalidity at latter date Is about
bis otily ground for the present action be
urges."
Attarney Mcintosh Closes.
After repesttng. tor ths saks of emphasis
.bis former argument oa th constitutional
requirement that capital etork and ffse-
chlsses be assessed equally with other val
uable property, and aasertlng that every
taxpayer haa a right to demand that thla
be done, any willful omlssloo Invalidating
ths whole levy, he closed with a mor or
less personal attack on the councllmen who
hav been recognised aa th Instruments ot
th corporation, saying; ,
"We affirm and they admit that It thla
levy la mad on th assessment as it saw
stands w will be taxed 10 per cent mfr
than we should be, becsuae these corpora
tlona hav gone Into pontic and got con
trol of the city. The crying evil of the
community today la th high -handed cor
ruption and the evasion ot taxation by the
local corporatlona. It la what underllea the
discredit ot the. city at home and abroad.
While cltliena are attending to their busi
ness duties and spending their nights with
their families, these corporations' emissa
ries go about achsmlng and working to elect
their tools to public efflce."

FRIEDOHIOHS
Indirectly Caused tho Death of th
World's Greatest General.
It is a matter of history that Napoleon
waa a gormand. an Inordinate lover ot tha
good things of the table, and trfatory further
records that hla favorlts dish wss fried
onlona hla death from cancer ot the stom
ach. It la claimed also, waa probably caused
from his excessive Indulgence Of this fond
nesa for the odorous vegetable.
The onion Is undoubtedly a wholesoms
article of food, in fact; it has many medici
nal qualltlea ot value, hut It would be diffi
cult to find a more undlgsatlble article
than fried onions, and to many people they
sre simply poison, but the onion doea not
atand alone In this respect. Any artie'e
Of food that is not thoroughly dlgestsd be
comes a source of disease snd discomfort,
whether .It be fried onions or beefsteak. '
The reaaon why any . wholesoms food Is
not properly digested la becaus th stom
ach lacks some Important element of di
gestion; some stomachs laok peptons. Others
srs deficient In gastrin Juice, still' others
lack hydrochloric acid. ,,
Tbs on thing necessary to do la any case
ef poor digestion la to aupply tboee ele
ments of digestion which the stomach lacks,
and nothing does this ao thoroughly and
safely as Stuart's pyspepela Tablets.
Dr. Richardson, In writing a thesis on
treatment of dyspspsta and indigestion,
closes his remarks by saying: ."Foribos
suffering from acid dyapepsla, shown by
aour, watery risings, or for flatulent dys-
pepsls, shown by gas on stomach, causing
heart trouble and dlffloult breathing, aa
well aa for other forms of stomach trouble,
the safest treatment Is, to tk ens or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta after., each
meal. I advise them because they eoataln
no harmful drugs, but are eomposed of valu
able digestive,, which sot promptly . apon
th food eaten. I never knew case ot
Indigestion or even ebronls dyspepsia which
Stuart's Dyspepsls Tablsls would , not
reach." ,
Cheap' cathartie medloines claiming to
ours dyspepsia and indigestion can have do
effect whatever In actively digesting the
food, and to call any cathartic medicine a
cure for Indigestion Is a misnomer.
Every druggist In the United States snd
Csnsds sells Stuart's Dyspepsia Tableta,
and they ars not only ths safest and most
successful, but the most scientific, ot any
treatment', for Indigestion and , stomach
troubles. -' ' ' ' -' -
