In not Inarimlssahlc to place the matter In
such a position that the constitutionality
of the provision for assessment through the
stale board as applied to this municipality
bp. tested before the supreme court as were

ago under sipilhir conditions. The action
of your tax commissioner In this was en
forced by the hoard of review; the opinion
of the city attorney was favorable to the
light of the local Hoard of initialization to
consider the matter and equalize, mid the
Hoard of Equalization endorsed the find
Inns of the ItoaTd of Hevlew. It seems In
every way desirable that the principle at
stake shiMild bo passed on by the highest
court, where so much was involved as In

riEHRE, 8. V., Jan. 2S. (Special Tele
gram.) I if the house today the members
who csme back with their pockets Blled
with bills rushed them In today, and but
little other business was transacted In that
body, ono bill being passed to make the
theft of live stork of any value grand
larceny. " The principal bills Introduced
were by Nelson to fix fees of clerks of the
court In county court at $3 per day; by
Craig to prevent the grazing of live stock
on state lands without a lease on same
(this Is the bill which will be fought by
the live stock Interests, as It practically
In Its Intent does away with the free
ranges); by Rodge, compelling societies
from outside the state to give bond for
good behavior before placing any waifs
la the state; by Vreelaml, providing for a
Jailer In every county which has a Jail,
by Lawson, fixing the salary of the deputy
superintendent of public Instruction at $1.
600 per year; by Hlldebrandt, to repeal the
law providing for the election of county
commissioners by voters of the whole
county; by Rodge, providing for Inspec
tion of scales; by Burnstad, to prevent
the killing of ducks and geese In the spring
months; by Potter, providing for submls-
lon of the license question in any town
at any regular election by petition of
wenty-Bve voters; by Btokes, providing!
for safe keeping of county funds, cash to
be checked out of bank on check, signed
by treasurer and countersigned by auditor;
by appropriations committee to provide
for $12,000 per year maintenance appropria
tion of governor; by Multr, increasing age
of consent to 1$ years.
In the senate the first fight of the ses
sion waa sprung rn the bill locating the
permanent state fair at Huron. Dillon of
Tankton opposed the measure, and It was
championed by Wilcox of Beadle. Several
motions for tfelay were made but all de
feated, and on final vote the bill was car
ried by a large majority.
A long list of bills was presented In the
senate. The principal ones, not duplicate
of house bills, being by McDougall. appro
priating $70,000 for the state mllltla; by
Moody, valued policy Insurance bill and
anti-compact Insurance bill; by Northrup,
providing for dissolution of cities where
population has vanished and providing for
Insurance of city property by mutual
companies.
The senate passed bills for deficiency of
$219 In the salary of Adjutant. General
Conklln and deficiency of $4,490 at Aber
deen normal. It Is estimated that the spe
cial appropriations which will be asked for
at the present Bcsslon will reach $1,000,000,
and a strong minority of each house la or
ganizing tor the purpose of holding down
the specials. As it only requires one-
third of either house to do this, they are
likely to make their plan work.

A POSSIBILITY
That Became a Pact and Plcaaes Many
Bald People.
A. R. Lewis, M. D.. 'in a lengthy article
in the columns of the American Journal of
Health, aays concerning hair: "It's de
terioration ! a constant source of worrl
ment to humanity, consequently bald peo
ple are readily deceived by 'rake' hair
restoratives. The wish that a hair prepa
ration will 'nil the bill' Is father to the
fancy that it la likely to do so. A rare
case In point is that of Newbro's Herpi
clde, which actually does 'fill the bill.' It
destroys the parasite that attacks the hair
root, and prevents dandruff, falling hair
and baldness."

SAUNDERS' BOOM IS SPRUNG
Admirers tf the lenator Bring Him 0nt
Formally for Mayor.
SPLIT MEETING OF FIFTH WARD ClUB
Endorsement Forced Thronah After
Adjoarnment of the rinb la fe
clarcVI In the negnlar Or
der of Business.
About 100 members of the Fifth Ward
Republican club voted an Indorsement of
Senator Charles L. Saunders of that ward
as a candidate for the nomination for
mayor of Omaha at a meeting at Young's
hall. Sixteenth and Corby streets, last
night, after W. B. Christie, president of
the club, ' bad declared such meeting ad
journed and left the hall, with about a
dozen other members who were opposed to
taking any action thus early. After the
Indorsement of Saunders, the same pro
ceeding was gone through with In the
Indorsing of A. H. Hnnnlngs for treasurer.
When President Christie called the meet
ing to order he stated that it bad been
called In response to a request of several
members and upon the promise that Charles
J. Greene would be present to talk on gen
eral topics of Interest. Mr. Greene had
gone to Lincoln, however, the president
stated, and so the club would give its
time to local speakers, after disposing of
routine business.
In the absence of Secretary P. B. Seward,
Sam K. Greenleaf of City Clerk Elbourn's
staff was made secretary pro tern. Treas
urer Frank Dewey reported 25 cents In tho
treasury, with some rent unpaid, and a
five-minute recess was taken, during which
$6.75 In dues was collected. After dlBcus
slon it was decided that the regular meet
ings of the club will not be resumed until
Thursday, March 6. Hugh Myers, upon In
vitation of President Christie, explained
the Intent of the bill now awaiting the
governor's signature, delaying munlclpnl
elections from March to May.
Mnnlrlpal Ownership Debated.
The president then said that If there
was no further business the club would
listen to speakers. Nothing was offered
and the president called upon W. A. Saun
ders, who spoke In favor of the purchase
of the water works, declaring that In cities
where there Is municipal ownership the
water rents are only 60 per cent of what
they are In Omaha, and that In addition
the cities have free water for street use
and fire protection, whereas Omaha pays
$100,000 or more for the hydrant service.
Others were Invited to speak, but ex
cused themselves. Among them was Le
Roy Lucas, a coal dealer. "Tell us about
the Coal trust, Lucas," someone shouted,
but Mr. Lucas only replied: "Gentlemen,
I have troubles of my own."
W. E. Stockham arose to say that ha
understood some members of the club as
pired to a seat In the city council and
that It might be opportune for them to so
declare, that the club might keep them in
mind.
Immediately A. H. Donecken arose And
moved the adoption of the following reso
lution, which was typewritten on legisla
tive parchment:
Whereas, Tt la with pleasure that we
learn that Charles L. Saunders, a loyal re
publican of the Fifth ward. Is a candidate
for mayor at the coming republican city
primaries, and
Whereas, The club takes pride In cham
pioning his candidacy, therefore, be It
ResoTved by the Fifth Wnrd Republican
club, That we do herehy Indorse the can
didacy of Charles L. Haundere for the nomi
nation for mayor of the city of Omuha, and
the club and Its members will use all' hon
orable means to secure his nomination and
his election, If nominated.
E. R. Woods seconded the motion for
the adoption of the resolution.
Otto Scherwln moved as an amendment
that action on the resolution be deferred.
W. E. Stockham seconded this motion.
Opposition to Resolution.
Instantly three were on the floor clam
oring for recognition, and the chair rec
ognized Assessor T. C. Bruner, who said
that he 'was surprised that there should
be made an effort to put through such a
resolution at an Irregular meeting called
ostensibly for no- other purpose tha.1 tba
discussion of general topics and the trans
action of purely routine business. E. R.
Woods tried to drive him oft the floor by
raising a point of order, but was not sus
tained. - Venerable Joe Redman was next recog
nized and said: "Every time we have in
dorsed early we have acted too d d soon.
I wouldn't have Charley slaughtered for
anything and let's not Indorse him now
and give the other crowd a chance to knife
him."
W. E. Stockham raised the point that
the constitution of the club forbids It to
indorse any candidate before the primaries
when there are two candidates In the aamo
ward for the office, and he said there may
be others in the Fifth who propose to try
for Mayor.
President Christie then took a hand and
said: "The chair rules the whole proceed
ings out of order. Any such resolution
should have ben presented when the cbalr
Invited business. The club now is only en
titled to listen to speeches, for Its regu
lar order of procedure is the disposal of
business, then listening to speeches and
then adjournment."
W. E. Stockham moved adjournment, and
the motion was seconded.
E. R. Woods arose to appeal from the
previous decision of the chair, but the
cbalr held that the motion to adjourn had
precedence, and put the motion. Thero
was a chorus of ayes and a chorus of nays.
The president declared the motion car
ried, and tbe meeting adjourned. He left
the hall, and with him went Stockham and
about one dozen others.
Donecken Oraaalses the Boom.
A. H. Donecken scrambled to the front
of the room and yelled that he moved
that those assembled elect a new chair
man of the meeting. Woods seconded the
ntotloi and It was carried with only one
dissenting vote, the others having left the
room. Donecken then nominated W. A.
Saunders, but Saunders shook his head and
looked frightened, so Donecken switched
his finger to Woods. Woods was elected
chairman with only one voting no. Ad
soon as Woods had assumed the chair,
the resolution endorsing Saunders was read
by Greenleaf, the temporary secretary, and
Donecken again moved its adoption. This
time It carried with the same lorn nega
tlve registered against It.
Without resuming his - seat Donecken
moved that A. H. Hennlngs be endorsed
for city treasurer. The vote was a repeti
tion of the previous ones. Donecken, still
on tbe floor, moved adjournment and this
time there was no dissenting voice. Tbe
crowd applauded and streamed out of tbe
hall.
President Christie returned at about this
time and to those who remained he r'.ated
that he had called the meeting in response
to the request of W. E. Stockham, W.
I. Klenttead and others among whom waa
neither Donecken nor -Woods; that It had
been called only that Mr. Greene and
others might be beard and that be (Chris
tie) had not suspected any endorsements
were proposed until he saw Woods and
Donecken consulting In a comer early In
the evening. He further declared that the
post adjournment proceedings had been en
tlrely irregular and void and that "the
Fifth Ward Republican club has not en
dorsed Saunders nor anyone else for
mayor." ,
It was generally rumored early In the
meefing that iHinecken Is training for a
seat as councllmsn from the Fifth wsrd,
and after the meeting one of the crowd
was heard to say that the next step will
be to depoee Christie as president of the
club and make Woods his successor.
Hugh Myers and Pam Greenlehf headed a
delegation which came down to telephone
Senator Saunders at the L!ndi II In I.l.i
coln that the thing had gone through
satisfactorily.
HYMENEAL.
Pn -mlt h.
An event about v.hlch fashionable Inter
est has centered for the pB9t fortnliiht and
that hss, perhaps, claimed more attention
than any other social function of the win
ter occurred at Trinity cathedral la?t even
ing In the marriage of Miss Edith Smith,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allen B. 8mlth,
and Lieutenant Clarence Richmond Day of
the Fourteenth cavalry, V. S. A., which
was solemnized at 7:30 o'clock In the pres
ence of one of the largest gatherings that
has asf-eniblcd this winter at any private
function. Tho seating capacity of the
church waa taxed, and there was stand
ing room In the main and side aisles alone.
Hopes of greens entwined with mistle
toe and holly hung In graceful festoons
across the church from pillar to pillar,
and wreaths, of greens caught to the side
walls with long-looped, yellow satin bows.
Down the center aisle, almost to the front,
at every third pew rose a slender green
column supporting a potted palm, the
spreading leaves of which formed a broken
arch above the aisle, and from each of
which, tied to one of the leaves, hung
long-looped, yellow satin ribbons. The
center alslo was ribboned off with broad
yellow satin sashes, the guests being seat
ed from the sides. The organ and chan
cel were hidden by a mass of southern
smllax. and still suggestive of the cavalry,
of which Lieutenant Pay Is a member, the
arch above the chancel steps was studded
with yellow roses and tulips, and suspended
above the steps was a wedding hell cf
yellow blossoms.
Preceded by the full-vested choir ng
Ing the bridal chorus from "Iiohengrin."
the bridal party advanced from the rear of
the church up the center nisle. The ush
ers came first,' Mr. Hal Yates and Mr.
Frank Haskell, Mr. Allen Pmlth and Mr.
Stockton Heth, Mr. Sam Burns and Mr.
James Paxton, Mr. Wr Coffman and
Mr. George Pritchett. Miss Josephine
Stanton followed, walking alone. Miss
Lydla Moore and Miss Jeanne Brown camo
next, together, and after them Miss Helen
Cady. Miss Mildred Lomax and Miss Ellen
Cotton and Miss Pullen of Cincinnati and
Miss Harper of Chicago came next, fol
lowed by Miss Flora Webster, walking
alone, and Immediately preceding the br'dc
and her father.
Miss Stanton, as maid of honor, and the
bridesmaids were gowned In yellow, In
tricate creations of lace and mull and
alike In effect, their short tulle veils be
ing held to place with aigrettes of yrllow
ostrich tips, and each carried a close hunch
of yellow roses and tulips. Miss Webster,
also as maid of hon jr, wore 3 handsome
white gown similar In effect to those of
the maids. The bride's gown was of
heavy pearl white satin, cut entrain and
with heavy trimmings of exquisite lace.
Her veil hung slightly below the waist, and
was held to place with a cluster of pearls.
She carrlel a shower of fine white blur
Bonn. As the party reached the chancel thi
bridesmaids ranged at the right nnd the
men at the left, Lieutenant Pay, with his
groomsman, Lieutenant George Wllliams ol
the Eighth cavalry, both In dress uniform,
meotlng tbe bride -at steps, where the
betrothal service was fead by Rev. tlob
ert E. Lee Craig, tho party tnen advanc
ing to the altar, where tho marriage serv
ice was solemnized by Bishop Coadjutor A.
L. Williams. The party left the church
to the Mendlessohn wedding march, Mr.
Robert Burns and Mr. Harry Poorly fol
lowing, removing the ribbons from the
aisles.
A reception followed at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Smith at 3126 Chicago Btreet, sev
eral . hundred guests being Included.
Throughout the house, the cavalry yellow
was combined with white In the shading
of lights and the flowers which '.rimmed
the rooms in profusion. Upstairs a small
fortune in gifts attested the popularity of
the young people. Lieutenant and Mrs.
Day left late last evening for a three
weeks' bridal trip throtlgh Colorado and
California, and they will be at home after
March 1 at Fort Wingate, N. M.
Among the young women who have
graced Omaha's fashionable set none have
enjoyed more general popularity than Mrs.
Day, not only for her many accomplish
ments, but for those qualities that attract
friends. Lieutenant Day has also many
Omaha friends made during his brief sta
tion here as a member of General Lee's
staff, and his subsequent visits, and their
departure from Omaha will be generally re
gretted In fashionable circles.

rjles. Cihn and Alice won the north and
south s cres with a large plus score.
Littleflcld and McNutt were second In
the north and south scores, and also re
ceived buttons. On the east and west side
three pairs tied for second. They were
St. John and Blacklin, Benjamin and Shea
and Mrs. Crea and Mrs. Brlnker. These
cut out for the honor and St. John and
Blacklin won, taking the buttons.
A Mattering entry of twenty-two pairs was
secured for tho free-for-all competition.
This made a large game, unusually so-for
a state tournament. Ten of the twenty
two were women. For this event there
were eight prizes. This was due to the
fact the contest for fours was abandoned,
so that all the prizes prepared for It were
added to the free-for-all list of trophies.
The entries In this closing tourney of the
meet were: Organ and Shea, Council

Victory for the Women.
- As was Inevitable after the completion
of tho second round Tuesday night, Mrs.
Bailey and Mrs. Martin of Omaha won
the contest for pairs. For this they were
given each a Nebraska Whist association ,
button, set with a single diamond, and
they also secure the challenge cup, a sil
ver trophy, for one year. This must be
won three times by the saire pair before
it becomes a permanent possession. Thlv,
is the first time women players have won
the cup, or In fact any honors In the as
sociation tournaments. The winning pair
did not lose any of its lead during the
final round, played Wednesday afternoon.
Instead it increased it one-tenth. Selvers

second place. The rank of the different

At the buBlness meeting of the associa
tion held Wednesday, It was determined
to widen Its territory. The name, the Ne
braska Whist association, will be re
tained, but hereafter membership will not
be limited to this state. Clubs in adjoin
ing states will be eligible. This extension
of the field la chiefly to allow the many
neighboring clubs along tbe Missouri river
to enter. It Is thought that the organiza
tion will be greatly strengthened by these
additions.
George A. McNutt of Omaha was elected
president for the ensuing year; Mrs. Por

dent; Mr. J. J. Shea of Council Bluffs,
secretary; Mrs. Dr. Bailey of Omaha,

BURLINGTON, la , May 21, 1902. P. P. P. Co.. Chicago, 111.: Gentlemen: Last
July. 1901, I was suffering from what the doctors called Eczema. I suffered from It
terribly. It wa s all over my shoulders and nrms, and from my knees to my feet.
My arms and legs were red and swollen lo twice their normal size. I was taken to
the hospital, and remained there for five months under tho constant care and treat
ment of physicians. They gave me no relief. Somebody recommended D. D. D, Rem.
edy. I purchased a bottle and applied It. The second application took out the redness
and stopped the Itching and burning so that I could sleep. The F.czema Is entirely
cured on my arms, and my legs are almost well.
I recommend the Remedy to anyone suffering from Eczema. I am 7R years of
age. H. E. MEYER.
. Pome weeks ago the astonlsMng record of this prescription proven to u by Indisput
able evidence- Induced us to give it our unqualified recommendation lo the puhlle. Since
then I. D. 1). has cured so manv who ontuined it from ua that lis record with us lm heen
fully equal 10 Its previous InMorv. We huve not seen a Kinirle Instance of disappointment.
It seems to do Hie work every time. In nine cases out of ten, u unltestutioiis on the skia are
$klm diseases -not .blood dNeascs. Many purchasers formerly mlseiahle. thinking they had
a had hlood disease, have found It as merely a skin affection and have cleared it all away
Wilh this prescript Ion.
Among all the known rellnhle specific medical Influences for different ailments we know
of very few discoveries so rerlalu In effect as this D. D. D. prescription In it yulck conquest
of skiu diseases of all kinds. , ,
