Holds Wife Is Llaale.
In the case of Leake against Leake, pros
ecuted on error from Dodge county, the
supreme court lays down the law that
when a husband is actually a part of a
family, living with It aa such, and la tem
porarily Incapacitated by Illness, bis main
tenance and support, Including necessary
medical attendance, comes fairly within ths
rule of the statute which makes ths wife
liable aa surety for necessaries furnished ths
family. It Is held that where the husband
and family. Including ths wife, remove to
a slater state and no judgment can be ob
tained agt'nst him la this atate, the ob
taining of a Judgment against him In the
courts where he resides, causing an ex
ecution to issue thereon and having It re
turned unsatisfied. Is a sufficient com
pliance with the law to sustain an action
against ths wife to recover for medical at
tendance. The holding of the court In the case ot
Bratcber against the National Aid Associa
tion, appealed from Clay county, will be of
Interest to members of beneficiary organ!'
aatlons. It Is the decision of ths court
that where an application for 'a benefit
certificate sf membership in a mutual ben
efit aaoclatlon declares on Its face that pay
ment of a first assessment and registry
fee Is a condition precedent to membership
and to the Issuing of the certificate, and
the bylaws contain the aame provision, the
applicant does not become a member and
the certificate la not In force until such
payments are actually made. Manual pos
session of the benefit certificate, in case it
la In force and la a binding contract. Is
not necessary In order to maintain an ac
tion upon it. Where the certificate la not
In force and Its Issuance and delivery Is
refused, possession of it obtained In an ac
tlon of replevin before a Justice ot the
peace, does not satisfy the requlremeata
of issuance and delivery, and the rights of
ths holder remain the aame aa they were
before he obtained possession of It In
that manner.

ing than the one made by the City Board
of Equalization.
The County Board of Equalisation this
morning tabled a resolution by Commls-
loner Welton to ehsngs the assessment
la the various wards. Mr. Welton desired
the First ward lowered IS per cent on all
realty, the Fourth ward raised 14 per cent
and the Second. Third and Sixth raised S
per cent each. He qnoted some figures
to show the Inequality. In the First ward
the average valuation per lot la 81.100,
while In the Fourth It la but $400. This
ought not longer to exist.
The other commissioners were not In-
lined to agree with him on the equities.
They say that the whole city was lowered
8270,000 on Its realty and that of this more
than a fourth, or 875,000, was on First
ward property.
Victor Vlfqualn of this city filed a state

ance, 85.50. was for badgea and headquar
ters expenses.
Congressman W. L. Stark captured a re-

ACOBS GOESJBACK ON PLAN

der Mystery.
LINCOLN. July J. (Special Telegram.)
When George Jacobs was taken In cus
tody in Omaha early In April on the charge
of committing highway robbery In this city
hs told Chief Donahue and a Lincoln de
tective that if treated leniently he would
assist - In unraveling the John J. Glllllan
murder mystery. He claimed that "Bunch"
Jackson, an Inmate of a Lincoln resort,
had told him that Glllllan waa murdered
by Charles E. Hayward and Al Beard.
Hayward at that time was In Jail on ths
murder charge. It was arranged for Ja
cobs to come back to Lincoln, waive pre
liminary examination and be bound over.
In the county Jail Jacobs waa to work Into
the confidence of Hayward and strive to
get Information from him that would lead
to conviction. The plan was thus far car
lied out, but Its consummation was pre
vented by the publication of the story In
an Omaha paper. "Bunch" Williams, hear
ing of the plan in this way, contrived to
be arreated herself and was bound over
to the district court and committed to
Jail. In the Jail she managed to "tip" oft
the scheme to Hayward. Then shs sent
down to her resort in the reservation.
summoning Elisabeth Rleger, an Inmate.
The woman came to her without delay
and a prlvas consultation was held. Then
ths woman waa sent for an Interview with
Jacobs and soon money was forthcoming,
soms of It being sent by J. E. Whlteling ot
Gerardte. Kan., proprietor of a dance hall.
In which Beard was arrested several years
ago for safe cracking. A month ago Ja
cobs and ths Rleger woman were married
In the county Judge's office.
Ths plot to defeat the plan of the au
thorities was brought to light today, when
Jacobs was brought down from the county
Jail for trial on another robbery charge.
He notified the officers that the deal waa
off and that tbey would have to look else
where for evidence against Hayward. By
keeping silent hs waa taken by the
woman In marriage and received In various
ways a considerable supply of monsy.
Tbs police claim that the county Jail au
thorities havs allowed their prisoners too
much freedom and that by permitting the
marriage they have defeated their trap tor
Hayward. Hayward, however. Is still un-
dsr arrest.

OFFENDERS IN HARD LUCK
Aeeordtnsj to Cklef Wllklo Most of
Tkeaa Are Breagkt to
Speedy Jaatlee.
WASHINGTON, July 1. Ths annual re
port of Chief Wllkia ot tbe secret service
division, submitted today to Secretary
Shaw, shows that during the year there
were arrested 573 persons, charged with
various offenses against the federal
statutes. New York lesdlng with eighty
five prosecutions. Of tbe offenders 413
were of American birth, the next largest
number of offenders being Italians.
Sixty-three per cent of those arretted
were convicted. The report records the
fact that during the fiscal year but one
dangerous spurious note wss put In cir
culation, a $5 silver certificate, while there
was only one other even passable counter
felt, a $1 silver certificate, whose makers,
with their complete plant, were captured in
Chicago the same day they attempted to
put one of their notes Into circulation.
The report refers to marked Improvement
In the New Tork district, where tbe circu
lation of "all-silver" counterfeit coins hss
been reduced more than 80 per cent as
compared with the previous year.
Reference Is made to the continued
activity among criminals who make v the
raising" of notes a specialty and it la
pointed out that this crime might be pre
vented by the adoption of a distinctive size
for the notes of smaller denominations
the ones and twos to be, say an Inch
shorter and one-half lneh narrower than
those of $5 or over. '

exoneration of the American and Danish
people, ths American congress and the
press:
This Is the Indictment which, according:
to this report, Mr. Christmas drew against
his own country and against himself when

out with everybody and waa discredited by
everybody, except possibly by the gentle
man from Tenneasee, assisted by the hon

last, gave mm sumclent credit to spread
upon our record the ludicrous and mon
strous charge which not only Involves by
name two members of this body, but di
rectly Impugns the honor of tbe whole
American concrers and the press.
Nothlnar In this report, nor in the facts
developed by this investigation, necessi
tates a defense either of congress or the
pieea, not even the assertion that the prime
minister or uenmara expressed to Christ
ina a his abhorrence for the political situa

In a recent letter hs says:
"I suffered for year" with liver complaint, causing mo severe pal o
and a peculiar weakness across the small of my back, so that it was
hard to stoop, and sometimes vary pataful to walk about. 1 had used so
much medicine without dertvln any help that I jnst let It go. until m
neighbor was cured by Feruna. That led to my using it. and before I
had used ten bottles I waa cured. 1 consider It almost miraculous."
Granville M. Hay.
CATARRH Is liable to attack any organ
of the human body. Many rases of
kidney. Hrer and bladder diseases which
baffle the doctor's skill sre but catarrh of
one or both ot these organs. That Peruna
Is a cure for such cases the accompanying
letters show.
Mr. W. L. Butler. 1C Bellerlew Are..
Ksnsas City, Mo., Seeretsry and Treasurer
of the O. R. C of America, writes: "There
Is nothing like Peruna for llrer and bladder
trouble. A number of railroad men havs
used It when they were broken down from
the constant strain which they are obliged
to undergo, and were greatly benefited by
Its use. I hare used It frequently for my
self and family and would not bo without
tt for the world." W. L Butler.
