TAXIXC RAILROAD PROPERTY
State Board of Equalization Ready far
Assessment.
ACTION AGAINST COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
l.aaraater Itlaen Attacks Validity of
Contract for Brlrtsre and Report
Discoveries He Declares
Astounding.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. April 4 (Special.) The State
Board of Equalization will meet next month
to make the annual assessment of railroad,
telegraph and telephone property for pur
poses of tsxatlon. The law requires the
work to be completed on or before May
15. or as noon thereafter as a majority of
the board shall have made and determined
the valuation of the property of the various
companies.
Several reports on valuations have already
been received at the auditor's office, but
with one exception they show no material
change from the figures of last yesr. The
St. Joseph A Grand Island railroad was
assessed last year on a valuation of $383,
485, while this year 'the valuation, as re
turned by the company, la 1445,190. It Is
shown by the report that only a portion of
the rolling stock of the compsny Is in
cluded In the Hat of taxabfe property, the
stock being divided as to Nebraska In pro
portion to the mileage within the, state.
Last year all of the rolling stock was as
sessed by the board.
The Kansas City A Omaha railroad shows
a decrease In total valuation alnce last year
from 1503,490 to $502,205. The Pullman
company values its stsndard aleeplng cars
at $104,122.43 and Its tourist cars at $8,288.
Last year the standard cars were assessed
at a valuation of $99,041.53, and the tourist
cars at $7,621.49.
Rralst Bridge Contracts.
William M. Clark today began proceed
ings in the district court to restrain exe
cution of the contract between the Lan
caster County Board of Commissioners and
C. O. Bheely of this city for supplying and
repairing bridges during tha ensuing year.
Commissioners Welton and Borgelt aro
charged with having unlawfully extended
favors to Mr. Sheely and to have- secretly
ordered twenty-seven brldgea without the
knowledge of the third member of the
board.
"I was astounded at discoveries recently
made In connection with the letting of the,
bridge contract," ssld Samuel Tllton, the
member who was not consulted by the
majority. "I have not signed any contracts
for bridges and it was not until the 12th
of March that I knew that several weeks
before that time the other commissioners
had secretly ordered twenty-six bridges.
The way it came up was this: An engine
had gone through a bridge In Centervllle
precinct and I called the attention of Sheely
to the necessity of fixing it. I told htm we
would designate the order No. 1, as the
first bridge put In under the contract. He
sold that it was No. 27 and that in his
book he held orders from the other commis
sioners for the other bridges."
It ia shown by the records that the con
tract contained the stipulation that no
money was to be paid to Mr. Sheely in ad
vance of work performed, and that notwith
standing this Mr. Bheely drew $8,000 from
the county within three days after the
signing of the agreement.
The petitioner in the injunction proceed
ings is a taxpayer of the county and has
no other interest in the suit than tbat of a
citizen of the community. His attorney, L.
C. Burr, insists that . ths contract with
Sheely Is manifestly Illegal and will be de
clared Invalid by the court.
Makes Battons at Prison.
On payment of an installment of $300 on
a debt of $5,700 Frank Kaspar, the button
manufacturer, who baa a contract for prison
labor at the atate penitentiary, was al
lowed to resume operations today. At the
end of the fusion administration Kaspar
owed the state between $4,000 and $5,000
and since that time the amount of indebt
edness Increased rather than decreased.
This delinquency prompted the Board of
Tubllc Lands and Buildings to withdraw
the convict labor a few days ago. Thla
morning Kaspar paid $300 into the treasury
and promised to take up the remainder of
the claim within thirty days.

MAHAL
A Condition Known as Systemic Catarrh-
A Prominent
G, B. CROWE, M, I).
Dr. G. B. Crowe, a phyalciaa and a very influential man in Alabama,
and chairman of the Populist State Committee, in a recent letter to Dr,
Hartman ot Columbus, Ohio, says:
Washington, D. C
"Pe-ru-na Is a mo9t valuable medicine. It affords me unlimited
pleasure to testify as to the merits of your remedy as a catarrh cure, I
have used it as such and find it Is of very great benefit when my tier
ous system is run down. I heartily recommend Pe-ru-na to all whom
nervous systems arc deranfed.'
The nervous system Is 'the source of all
our bodily powers, mental or physical.
The brain and spinal cord generate the
power and the nerve fibers convey tne
power to every pirt of the body.
It Is ths nerves that give the heart power
to beat; It is the nerves that give the
arteries the power to contract, and thus
regulate the flow of blood through them.
Each artery la provided with an elastic
or muscular coat, which is capable of ex
tracting or expanding so as to permit more
or less blood to pass through, according to
the needs of ths body.
When the nerves are paralyzed or weak
ened this contractile" power of the blood
vessels ia wholly or partly destroyed.
This produces congestion, espictally of
the mucous membrane lining tna various
organs of the body.
When this congestion continue for some
time it Is known as chronic catarrh.
The congestion may occur In the mucous
membrane lining the nose, throat, bronchial
tubes, stomach, bowels, kidneys and pelvic
organs.
Whenever It occurs it produces the same
symptoms chronic catarrh.

Francisco, Cal., m rites:
"Soma time ago, suffering from Indiges
tion, loss ot sleep, and what might be
termed general exhaustion, I was recom
mended to try Peruna. which I did, and
found tbat it did all that Is claimed for It.
I have tried quite a number of tonics, but
Peruna was th first one from which I de
rived any great benefit. Several of my
family hare used it for different com
plaints, ss w never sre without a bottl In
the house, snd It seems to be a household
necessity. I always recommend It to ry
friends who I tblnk need such a remedy.
"T. W. SCOTT."
Mr. W. A. Roberts. No. 1404 MrOe
street, Kanssa City, Mo., County Treasurer
of Ottawa county, Kansas, writes:
"No one can endure a prolonged strain
but that nature will demand reat or you
will suffer for It. I found this out dur
ing my last official campaign, which was
unusually sever and resulted in an over
taxed system. I was unfit to properly as
sume my duties snd it was a serious prob
lem to me to decide what to do, when my
deputy sdvlsed me to try Peruna, as It
had cured hlra when he was a phyalcal
wreck. I sent for a bottle and method
ically uaed it, and was much pleassd to find
that soon new blood began to flow, restful
sleep came to me, and my appetite In
creased, and my nerves became quiet, and
within two months I felt as though I had
enjoyed a year's reat. I am pleased to
endorse Peruna. "W A. ROBERTS."
In a letter from Emsley, South Dakota,
Mr. Adam Doerlng writes as follows:
"For about three years I was afflicted
with sleeplessness, lack of sppetlts and felt
at all times feverish and nervoua. There
would be ringing In my ears and I got ao
weak finally that I could not attend to my
farm work.
"During this time three pbyslclana
treated me; they did not help me and gave
me no hope of recovery. I waa positive
of dying soon, - -Tt, .,,...
when my attention
was called to Pe
runa. I tried the
medicine without
much expectation
of being benefited
by it. But soon
Its effects began to
show. I could
aleep, my appetite
returned, I became
stronger mentally t
and my nervous
trembling ceased.
I used about twen
ty bottles In a year
and at the end of
that time I was
another man. My
health was and Is
now more robust
than It haa been
for many years.
"Peruna saved
my life and I
write thla letter to
sxareoa my thanks.
I hope that you
