Speaking Toar la
Nebraska, i
From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Juljr 25. (Special.) The dtate
Board of Equalltatlon la considering a plan
to restore the sinking fund levy In the as
sessment of property for the purpose of
taxation. The matter wis discussed at
some length at the meeting of the board to
day, but action was postponed, pending the
receipt of an opinion from the attorney
Ceneral aa to the legality of such a lery.
It baa been customary In the past to use
the revenue from the sinking fund levy for
the payment of Interest on state bonds.
The last levy for this purpose was made in
1899 and the balance remaining In the fun1
after the last of the bonds were paid off
was transferred to the general fund.
Treasurer Ftuffer, who baa made the
proposition to the board. Is of the opinion
that the revenue from such a levy could be
used for the discharge of any state Indebt
edness. He would bave tht levy fixed at
H mill throughout the state, which would
produce approximately 180,000. Mr. Stuefer
baa declared that he will ask the attorney
(or his view as to whether the levy ran be
made now that there are no bonds out
standing and the money derived therefrom
uaed In the payment of claims against the
State.
The board held one session this morning
and adjourned until Monday, when a rep
resentative of Douglas county will appear
to ask for a reduction In Its rate of assess
ment. Cass county made a similar request
today.
Governor Savage Retaraa.
Governor Savage returned to his duties
this morning after nearly a month's ab
sence. He came direct from Denver, unac
companied. His party traveled over an
other route from Denver, those bound for
Lincoln, Including Mrs. Savage, arriving
here at 6 o'clock tonight. The governor
left his companions last night In order to
be In Lincoln today to attend the meeting
of the State Board of Equalization and con
sider matters demanding his attention. He
reported every member of the party In good
health.
The trip Included brief atops at Seattle,
where the governor and his friends attended
the laying of the keel of the battleship
Nebraska; Tacoma. Los Angeles, Pasadena,
the" Catlllna Islands, Stockton, San Fran
cisco, Salt Lake City and Denver.
Governor Savage aays Nebraska will be
one of the biggest and most modern battle
(hips In the navy. It will have a displace
ment of between 14,000 and 15,000 tons, will
cost $3,600,000 and will have an armament
equal to that of any ship in the navy. The
builders, Moran Bros., Informed him that
It would be an Improvement over Oregon.
The citizens of Seattle raised a subscrip
tion fund of $100,000 to add to the govern
ment'a appropriation for the ship, this be
ing done to Insure Its construction within
their city.
The governor's office has been deluged
with correspondence regarding the pros
pective appointments for the Omaha Fire
and Police commission. The governor has
essayed the task of taking all the petitions
and letters Into consideration, hence it Is
not likely that he will have the appoint
ments ready to announce for several days.
Mitt Fair Oflleea Opened.
A temporary office of the Board of Man
agers of the state fair has been estab
lished In the ' food department at the
tatehouae and will be maintained there
until Secretary Furnas opens headquarters
in thla city. O. G., Furnas, superintendent
of concessions, and S. C. Bassett, member
of the Board of Agriculture, are looking
after the preliminary work, or as much of
It as is belug done In this city. The
board's headquarters will be opened about
August 15, probably In the Lindell hotel.
"About all we want now to make the
atate fair a big success Is good weather,"
, said Mr. Bassett. "If we have good weather
we will have, lots of people; we already
have exhibits in prospect that warrant us
In saying that the fair will surpasa pre
vious efforts.
"We are reliably Informed that for the
first time In several years the farm Im
plement dealers will be represented by big
displays. This will add to the attractive
ness of the fair and ought ' to be appre
ciated. An effort was made to get all the
dealers Into another combination to stay
out, but several declined, and It now looka
- as though most of the firms will be rep
resented. We bave given one firm permis
sion to erect a permanent building on the
grounds and It Is understood that others
will soon ask for the same privilege."
Secretary Furnas la hard at work at his
home In Brownvllle arranging for the ez
position and distributing advertising mat
ter and literature calculated to bring forth
many thousands of people. Among the lm
provements on the grounds are several new
livestock barns, now nearly completed. The
fair will open on August 29 and close on
September 6. i
Brraa to Stamp State.
' The executive committee of the populist
party will meet In Lincoln next Wednes
day with Chairman Nelson and the fusion
nominees tor the purpose of selecting a
secretary of the state committee. The lo
cation of state headquarters In Omaha
will alao be discussed and probably da
termlned at that time. '
It la announced by the fusion campaign
leaders that W. J. Bryan will join the
spellbinders and tour the atate during the
months of September and October. It
has not been decided whether or not he
la to havs the luxury of a special train.
but owing to Ha expense It la more than
likely that he will be placed on an equal
footing with the other fusion orators.
Secretary, of State Marsh hss decided to
avoid any possible dispute over claims by
having the proposed constitutional amend
ment published only In weekly newspaper
"I have certified a copy of the amend
ment to one weekly newspaper In each
county, and the total eoat of the advertls

snd $7,000," said Mr. Marsh. 'That will
be about the only coat connected with the
submission of the amendment. There Is
such a wide difference of opinion as to the
publication of the amendment In the dally
newspapera that I resolved to restrict Its
publication to the weekly periodicals, so
that there will be no trouble snd no dispute
over the matter."
Hammer Reboot Closes.
The summer session cf the University of

The supreme court and commission now
baa 120 cases under consideration. During
the months of June and July more than
the usual number of decisions were de
livered, but this was largely because a
small volume of new business was taken
on. It la estimated that the court and

ose of all cases filed prior to January 1,
1903, before the terms of the commissioners
expire.

Frank Sherman, National hotel, Washington, D. C, Is champion pool player of ths
world, defeating De Oro, the former world's champion pool player, by a score of 150 to
101. The following letter was recently received by ths reruns Medicine Co. of Co
lumbus, Ohio:
"I have suffered for years with a distressing case ot catarrh. I have
tried everything which was prescribed and advertised for that t renin
but experienced no relief until I tried Peruna. This invaluable medicine
has eradicated all traces of that pernicious disease, and I wish to add
my testimony in favor of the virtues of Peruna to all who may be. suf
fering as I once was."
Congressman Pelham of Virginia.
Ex-Congressman C. Felbam of Bancroft,
Va., writes:
My sister-in-law has been suffering from
catarrh of the throat for a considerable
time. Bhe has been using Peruna for about
one week and, la manifestly Improved. I
believe it la an excellent remedy for ca
tarrh." . ' C. PELHAM.
A CURABLE DISEASE.
Chronic Catarrh Is' Pronounced Cur
able' by Dr. Hartman.
There are almost countless numbers ot
remedies said to cure chronic catarrh. 'The
most ot these are of no use whatever and
worae than useless, being actually harmful.
A few are successful in a small number of
cases those which are .'very slight and
easily curable cases which might perhaps
get well by simply taking care not to catch
cold again.
But of all the vast multitudes of medl-
FRANK SHERMAN.
clnes, it cannot be said that there are more
than two or three which are actually spe
cifics, and without doubt the most reliable
la Peruna. It always cures when faithfully
and conscientiously used. It not only
cures catarrh ot ths head and throat, but
catarrh of the stomach,- liver, kidneys,
bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, and, In fact,
any of the organa of the human body.
It Is Indeed a dreadful case of catarrh,
wherever located, that Peruna cannot cure,
or at least greatly help. It may be pro
cured at all the drug stores and It should
be given a faithful trial by those who have
tried in vain elsewhere to get relief.
A book on catarrh and catarrhal diseases
of 64 Instructively illustrated pages will bo
sent free to any address by tbe Peruna
Medicine Co. of Columbus, O.
If you do not dsrlve prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full
statement of your case, and he will be
pleased to give you his valuable advice
gratis.
