Opinion of Referee in Omaha Tax Manda
mus Case to Be Filed Thursday.
CAN COME UP AT NEXT SITTING OF COURT
Depaty Labor ( ommUitonr r Wilioa
CoBldrnl of Wlnnlnsr HI Case
Against Lancaster County
Assessors.
(From a Stiff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, AprU I. (Special.) Judge
Robert Ryan Bay he will not need all of
the tlm allowed him a referee to nreoare
hit findings In the Omaha tax mandamus '
case. By the term of the supreme court's
order be la not required to file his report
before April 15.
"I have reached my conclusions in the i
case and will probably file the report on .
Thursday of this week," said Judge Ryan. ;
"It will be written tomorrow and I hope :
to hare It Bled sometime Thursday morning. I
This will give both sides an opportunity j
to flls eiceptlona. If they wish to, Derore
the next sitting of the court."
The opinion will consist of about twenty
"pages of typewritten matter and will em
brace an exhaustive discussion of the va
rious questions of taxation raised In the
hearing of the case.
The mandamus case of the state pora
mlssloner of labor against the tax asses
sors of Lancaster county, which was brought
to test the validity 'of the law requiring
assessors to gather Information for the
State Bureau of Labor and Industrial Stat
istics, will be argued and submitted to thv
supreme court next week. The act In ques
tion was passed by the legislature of 1897,
but has aever been enforced. Each year
since the passage some of the counties
have failed to make the returns required
and as a result the statistics put forth by
the department have been Incomplete and
oftentlmea misleading. The fusion authori
ties gave notice several times that man
damus proceedings would be commenced, it
necessary, but the bluff was never made
good.
ConBdent Law Will Hold.
"I am confident the law will stand the
test," said Deputy Labor Commissioner
Watson today, "but It has been ao generally
questioned and violated that the only way
to determine lta worth Is by the mandamus
process. The state spends a lot of money
each year publishing reports of statistics
gathered under the act. They are Incom
plete and therefore of little value. If the
reports are not correct there Is no reason
why they should be printed. If the court
sustains the la we will force the county
assessors to do the work If we have to
begin mandamus proceedings against every
one of them."
In" Kansas',' whose agricultural and in
dustrial statistics are admittedly of a su
perior quality, a law similar to the Ne
braska act Is In force. - Several days ago
Mr. Watson wrote the commissioner of
labor In Kansas as follows:
Will you be kind enough to state If gath
ering statistics through the assessors i In
our state has proved a success? The
HHsessors here, In some Instances, have
irf lined to do the work-and I have there
fore taken the matter before the supreme
court. I shall be pleased to have your
views at your convenience.
The Inquiry was referred to Secretary F.
D. Coburn of the State Board of Agricul
ture, who aent the following reply:
Yes, very satisfactory In Kansas, so far
as gathering agriculture, live stock and
population statistics for the State Board
nf Agriculture Is concerned, the doing of
which Is required by law. and thd assessors
. receiving f per uay -ior ipeir worn n
such; hencerff aitkert'! Trot tn more hours
there would probably e , no objection on
their part. ( , N
The Nebraska, Jaw fixe th compensa
tion of assessors at $3 per day, but the
county clerk la '-. authorised to employ
enough persona to : complete the work
within the time .specified. Under this pro
vision the assessors ran be paid by the
county for all services performed, and It
is estimated that the additional expense
for extra assessors, because of the In
creased amount of work, will not amount
to a great deal in any one county.
The case of the State against Wenham,
Involving tie constitutionality of the female
labor law, will also be submitted at tho
gext sitting of court.

CHICAGO, April 8. Official announce
ment was made today at the office of the
Chicago, Burlington Quincy Railroad
company of the appointment of P. S. Eustis
to be passenger traffic manager of the sys
tem. Mr. Eustis, who has been general
passenger agent of tbe Burlington, will
have general supervision of all the pas
Bcnger business on all lines of the system.
Although no official' announcement has
yet been made, It is announced that John
Francis, general passenger agent of the
B. ft M. at Omaha since 1888. will sucoeed
Mr. Eustis ss general passenger agent at
Chicago and that Lucius W. Wskeley. gen
eral passenger agent of the' Burlington
lines In Missouri, will go to Omaha to
take Francis' place.
W. A. Lawlor, assistant general pass
enger agent for the Burlington at unt
tago, will most likely succeed Mr. Wakeley
at St. Louis.
May Decline Offer.
Mr. Francis waa aroused from his slum
hers at midnight and heard the dispatch
from Chtcago read. He said he knows
nothing shout the matter
It baa been a matter of current rail
road gossip for a long time Ahat Mr.
Francis was to be the man for the Eustis'
succession whenever the passenger traffic
management should be placed In the hands
of one man. Mr. Francis' administration
of the passenger traffic of the system under
his control has been most notable. He
has made friends for tbe road and for him
self by his methods, and his removal to
Chicago will be merely In line with the
Burlington's policy of advancing men who
have proved themselves , worthy. It has
been' stated though, that Mr. Francis will
decline the proffer for the same reason
that Mr. Holdrege declined to go to Cht
cago when Mr. Brown of tbe Missouri lines
was taken there. At that time Mr. Hold
rege expressed himself to the effect that
he considered the Burlington west of tha
Missouri tbe more Important of the two.
and that be preferred being manager of
the B. M. to being manager of the Chi
cago, Burlington ft Qulncy. While Mr.
Francis haa not publicly expressed him
self on thla point, his close connection with
Mr. Holdrege and the perfect harmony
that exists between the two may hold him
to the same conclusion aa that reached bv
the general manager.

Miss Alice Leemlng, 2074 St. Catherine street, Montreal, Can., writes:
"I can conscientiously endorse l'ertina. I sulTcrcJ for five years with
dyspepsia, which Impaired my general health and deprived me of my
usual nerve force. I spent much money on remedies and prescriptions
without any benefit until I tried Peruna. Before the first hot tie waa
used I felt much better and after ten weeks' treatment I was n new
woman and in perfect health. I cannot speak too highly of Peruna."

The w en. are all talking about Peruna.
Of course they are. Why should tbey not?
Peruna Is the remedy that cured them. If
they have a cold, Peruna cures them. Thty
found that out by experience.
It they are hoarse or have a cough, they
find Peruna; an unfailing remedy. Weak
lungs, and 'ever the 'first stages of con
sumption, Peruna promptly) restores, and
then there are a host of women who have a
alight derangement of the stomach and di
gestive organs. All these derangements
are of a catarrhal nature. Peruna comes
to the reacue at once. A very, short course
of Peruna is sufficient to put the stomach
right and to make the assimilation of the
food perfect.
But this is not all. This does now ex
actly explain why the women especially
are talking about Peruna. Men,, tbe same
as . women, have found Peruna useful lu
the above mentioned ailments. The reason
that Peruna Is such a special favorite with
women la something more than all this.
Women aro subject to pelvic catarrh.
This condition haa been called all aorta of
names and Is often referred to under the
general phase, female diseases. Peruna
curea these cases. Peruna cures thm be.
cause 1 cures catarrh wherever located.
The nature of most of these ailments is ca
tarrhal. Catarrh is liable to attack any organ of
the body. It Is especially liable to attack
one or more organs of tbe female pelvis.
No wonder women talk about Peruna. No
