Chief of Police Donahue has undertaken
the task of securing the passage In the
legislature of a bill which will. If his pres
ent plans carry, cause to be placed on the
statute books of the state of Nebraska an
act that la now, and has long been, ur
gently needed to deal wjth a class of of
fenders who have escaped the punishment
which should have been their due and
which, had the proper provision been made,
could easily have been meted out to them.
Chief Donahue's efforts will lie chiefly in
having his measure paused which will make
husbands, who have moved from thMr res
idence cltiei, leaving behind them families,
responsible for the care of the wives and
Infants who are dependent upon them for a
livelihood.
To a reporter for The Bee yesterday aft
ernoon Chief Donahue said he bad under
taken the passage ot the bill that the con
dition which has for some time given the
police department of not only Omaha, but
the other cities of the state, no end of
trouble and expense, might be alle
viated and an unnecessary burden which is
now thrust upon the tazpaylng publlo by
its being compelled to care for the families
of the negligent husbands, eliminated.
"I shall recommend the passage of the
bill at the coming seaaion of the state
legislature In January," he said, "and
there is no doubt In my mind that but very
little opposition will be encountered In
having the new statute enacted. What Is
more Important, this neglect on the part of
husbands haa grown to auch a magnitude
that It la now a very great burden and
If It is not curbed at this session It will
continue for two years more.

President Fred A. Nssh of the New
Omsha Thomson-Houston Electric Light
compsny proposes to hsve a heart-to-heart
talk with the Board of Review. He con
siders that . the sworn Inventory of $442.-
000 on his company's realty, returned by
him, waa fair and sufficient and he wants
to kcow why the figure should have been
made $500,000. In an Interview last nlaht
he said:
"I have returned from Salt Lake Cltv.
where I went on railroad bualness. and
1 have not had time to fully consider this
matter of the assessment. I mav not care
to protest at all, but I do propose to have
a talk with the members of the Board of
Review and probably will protest If that
Is the only way to get before them. Last
year I returned a fair Inventory of all
our property, persons, and I did the same
this yesr. I listed our preferred stock at
its face end our common stock at 60 cents,
which Is really mors thsn It is worth now.
as the company has not yet paid dividends
and Is building on the future.
"I understand that our new undersround
system had something to do with the raise.
It shouldn't, as we can utilise none of It
for at least a year yet and when we do.
then the present system of wires and poles
becomes practically nothing but Junk and is
really a losa to us. The new undersround
system costs us considerable money. It Is
true, but It Is put In solely to comply with
a police regulation and for the protection
of the public, not aa an Investment for
profit to us.
"I wish to hsve a talk with the board
concerning these things. If they can show
me why the company's assessment should
go up, I shall be glad to stand It. but other
wise I suppose I will protest."

nored the demands of their wives snd chll
dren for assistance. In Omaha alone last
year 846 families applied for and were
granted relief. The majority of these cases
were such aa I have described. In the Jail
there were sheltered 1,854 lodgers, among
whom, no doubt, were many men who had
deserted home and family and not feeling
any responsibility, wander at their leisure,
free from arrest. Pitiful cases come to
our attention which would be removed
could the law I desire be passed. I have
no doubt that the cases for this year will
equal those of last, In which we will be
compelled to grant ssslstance, Up to the
present there have been at least twenty de
mands from wives to hsve our department
locate Itinerant husbands. One esse in par
ticular that I can suggest Is that of an
engineer who left this city and went away
to earn his $85 a month. The first month
he sent his wife $50, the second $25, but
for the last six months he has not furnished
her with one penny. What is there for us
to do? We have no law that can touch
this offender and we must resort to bluff
ing him Into keeping his family.
Character of BUI.
"My bill will be similar to acts governing
such' cases In Illinois and Missouri, copies
f which I have received from the secre
taries of .those states. They provide-that
every person shall 'be' deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor who shall, without good cause
abandon his wife and refuse to maintain
State Board of Equalization. They have
not decided exactly aa to the character ot
the action to be brought, but since the de
cision of Tax Commissioner Fleming to as
sess all property, Including the railroads, at
full value for city purposes the legal do
partments of the roads have been preparing
for the legal battle.
According to stories which come from the
Interested parties the fight will be made
along the line that the tax commissioner
has no right to question the constitution
allty of any law which the legislature msy
pass for his guidance, and thst the letter
ot the city chsrter shall prevail In spite of
the constitutional provision that all prop
erty must be assessed upon the same basis.
The argument of the attorneys as to this
provision of the constitution will be. It is
said, along the line that this equality of
assessment refers to property of the earns
general chsrscter and not to all property
regardless of class; that when all railroads
of the stste are assessed upon the same
equitable basis the provision of the con
stitution Is fulfilled regardless of the fact
that the assessment of personal property
generally and of real aetata may be upon
another basis.
The attorneys for the roads expect the
matter to come up before the Board of Re
view next week, but they have not decided
aa to appearing before that board.
"It Is not my psrt to be conspicuous .with
newspaper interviews," said Land Agent
Lesser yesterday when asked to state his
side of the trouble between himself snd
Colonel Mosby, which resulted in the for
mer's suspension from office. Lesser, after
being closeted with the grand Jury here for
a few days, returned to his Iowa home yes
terday. It was his love of home life, ac
cording to Colonel Mosby, that caused the
land agent's downfall, the veteran alleging
that Lesser spent the time for which the
government paid him to be In Nebraska at
bis home in Tama City, la.
I do not believe Colonel Mosby's Idea of
pushing his way into print Is good for sny
csuse." went on Mr. Lesser. "And thst to
my mind Is very beautifully illustrated In
the Colonel's own case. That is about all
that I can see that Mosby has succeeded
in accomplishing. All that he has reported
to the government on the fencing and land-
leasing questions was. reported by me be
fore Mosby ever went into office.
Why hssn't It been acted upon? That
Is not for me to say. My duty did not lay
in calling out troops of cavalry and caus
ing bloodshed. I could not have done thst
if I had wanted to, and neither can Mosbv.
The duty of my position was simply to ex
amine Into the conditions and make mv
report to Washington, snd these things I
did and kept still about It. I reported as
soon ss I went Into office thst the covern
ment land waa Illegally fenced In and I
reported the conditions in regard to the
widow question.
Anticipates "Awfol Mesa."
"As far as my personal opinion goes, I
hardly see bow they can take down the
fences all at once without causing an enor
mous disaster. The fences are not ail one
or two mens doings. Practically every
cattleman in the vicinity of government
lands Is involved. One man will fence in
a piece of property and the next man that
comes along will use one stretch of his
fence and a stretch ot some other fence, so
that a fence erected years ago by severs!
parties may serve the purpose ot separating
two or three properties. The sudden re
moval of these fences would make an awful
mess.
"The use of this land ought certainly to
be allowed. Now that the government has
allowed this law to be a dead letter for so
long a time, it certainly ought to continue
the delay of Its enforcement until the
present congress could enact a land leasing
measure or else give a good long notice to
enable the parties involved an opportunity
to adjust themselves to the new cosdl
tlons. "The differences between Colonel Mosby
and myself were started by my objecting
to the large number of garrulous com
munications which he insisted on writing
me and because I asked him to confine
himself to matters connected with our
official business. He took a personal
affront at this and the war he has wsged
against me has been a personal matter
with him all through."

Operations are becoming a fad; every
young man, as soon as he is graduated from
medical college, considers himself capa
ble of undertaking the most serious and
complicated surgical work, snd hundreds ot
lives ars sacrificed annually to this mad
frenzy of incompetent men, to rush Into
work which should only bs undertaken as a
last resort, and then only by the most ex.
perienced and careful surgeons.
It Is a pleasure. In view of these facts, to
read the following letter from a womaa
who has been saved from ons ot these dan
gerous operations. "I know I should havs
Informed you long ago regarding my cass
of piles and ths good dons me, and I believe
I am cured. Last December I seat tor your
book. I have never been bothered sines
then, and before I had suffered for the last
eleven years, and at the time I wrote I
hsd given birth to a child, and they came
down with the delivery of the child by the
handful. I could not get them back and I
suffered everything; and the doctor said
nothing but an operation would ever re
lieve me: but I read of vour remedv in our
NOT RESPONSIBLE I dally newspaper and I told my husband to
get me a box and I would give It a trial
before consenting to the knife, and thsnks
be to your wonderful medicine, I wss saved
from ths operating table. .
Every person suffering from piles thst my
husband and myself hear of, we recommend
your wonderful medicine, but I hardly think
I will need any mors for It will be a year

and that makea It ten months and past
now. Thanking you agsln and wishing you
abundant success, I remain, Mra. S. Hodg
