LINCOLN, April 20. (Special.) Oorenjor
Mliker tbla - morning appointed J. W.
Stetnhart of Nebraska City a member of
the board of truateee of the Institute for
the Blind at Nebraska City and for the
Deaf end Dumb institute at Omaha. Mr.
Stelnhart waa appointed to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of a O. EUe
war.ger. The governor Is still considering the mat
ter of the appointment of the South Omaha
Polloe commission. Late thla afternoon an
other delegation called upon him, as did
also ex-Representative Shelly. Mr. Shelly
eald that the delegation headed by David
Anderson which called several days ago
bed recommended, among the namea It pre
sented to the governor, several parties that
probably would be acceptable to the people
of South Omaha. While soma members of
that delegation were bitterly oppoaed to aa
loons,, he said, a majority were very con
servative men. As for himself. Mr. Shelly
aid he wanted a police commission com
posed of good, conservative men, and with
that end In view be was willing to lend to
rthe governor all the assistance within his
lower. .
The oil Inspector, whose appointment has
apparently been aldetracked to make way
for the South Omaha delegations, will be
appointed, so Governor Mickey aald today,
the latter, part of the week. The deputy
game warden will not be appointed before
the first of June or July.
Reaaoaa for Veto.
While the labor unions are rejoicing and
adopting resolutions of thanks because Gov
ernor Mickey vetoed the exemption bill
passed by the late legislature, the retail
merchants who secured the passage of the
measure are censuring the governor. Gov
ernor Mickey filed his reasons for dlsap.
proving tha bill with his veto. -According
to the new bill. If a laboring man or other
received $60 a month, $5 of (his was sub
Joct'tv'vsrnnnrmetit.eAch month,- It probv
ably would cost the working man t( to $10
to have hla salary garnlsheed. A second
can 01 tee attorney pi tne employer would
subject the employe to dismissal. The
present law exempts two months wages of
the working man. Inasmuch as all others
have exempt a homestead worth $2,000, the
governor thought It no more than right
that the laboring man ehould have at least
the two months' wagea as given him under
the present law.
Arbor Day Obaerraae.
Tomorrow afternoon the state , officers
will each plant a tree in a cluster, to the
memory of J. Sterling Morton. Today Got
rnor Mickey and several of the officers
staked off a small park on the northwest
part of the capltol grounds upon which
the trees will be' planted. State Superln
tfcadent Fowler has returned front's trip
Ma the western part of the state, and be
laid that never In the history of the state
had be seen such preparations for the ob
servance of Arbor day. Nearly every school.
be said, would bave exercises and plant
trees.

Dsvvla Appeals., to Caarts.
As a result of the action of the Board
of Public Lands snd Buildings In upholding
the 00 n tract It made with the Lee Broom
and Duster company and deciding against
the Davis contract for the employment of
convlot labor, the courts probably will be
called upon to take a hand. Tbla afternoon
Mr. Davis, .who' asked for only about a
dosen men with which to atart hla button
factory, aald he knew pf no other way to
compel the board to atand by the contract
It made with htm than by appealing to the
courts. His contract was signed by every
member of the board, but did not have the
signature of Governor Mickey or Warden
xivauivr. Tue contract with the broom com
pany did bave these signatures and It called
for not te exeeod 25 men. That many
men are sot now available for work In the
penitentiary, hence Mr. Davis was unable
to secure his . men. Mr. Davis said the
board In committee of the whole agreed to
allow him a doiea men April 15. snd he
does not understand why It refused to
support the motion made to grant him the
men, when the board met Saturday.

NATURE VS ART IN HOSIERY
Oolantbas Oorrcaaaaaleat Saaaorts
V tha Prapealtloa Made ay a
Oeaoa Girl.
COLUMBUS, Neb., April JO. To the
Editor of The Bee: la reading yesterday's
Bee my eye .caught that Genoa girl's nots
to the Lincoln city clerk regarding the ex
bibltlon of ladles' hosiery by means . of
"Imitation legs." Evidently the writer of
that note Is a sample of the 'propriety and
modesty -produced In Columbus' western
neighbor.
I quite agree with the young lady about
the abolishment ot those "Imitations" In
Lincoln, especially during the weeka the
legislature Is in session, for then the cap
ltal has all ths Imitations it csn Stand
But if those "Imitation legs" were kept out
of the windows, as the fair cresture from
Genoa suggests, bow ' in .the world would
storekeepers be able - to ' fittingly exhibit
thoee wonderful creations of art and hand!
work the ladfes' stockings T I can -think
ot only ons wsy substitute for the "Imi
tations" the real thing. There can be no
question that auch a combination of art
and nature would attract attention far
more attention than those wooden shams
now employed. I am sure that the sub
stitution of ths ' real for the artificial
thing, would make a hit as an advertise
ment. It any Lincoln hose seller wsnts
to chsnge the factory distortions for the
ones produced by nature, I am sore Ne
brsska baa plenty of the article of the re
quislte slxe and shape to more faithfully
"show of stockings and the frills on them'
than those "horrid things" the Genoa dam
eel denouncee. Should Lincoln dry goods
dealers start a voting contest to ascertain
what ths public sentiment Is ss to a
change from those "imitation legs" to the
kind I suggest, I will cast my ballot early
and often for the real thing.
Anyway, I agree with the Genoa girl,
iuey ought 10 be "eome laws to keep
those "imitation lege" out of the wlndowa,
even though real ones can not be procured
The "Imitations" Well, of course. Its
shame. By all means abolish the "lmlta
tlona." Yours truly,

BURDEN FALLS HEAVILY ON FARMERS
Kcw Law, la Oalaloa af Mr. Laaails,
Will Net rrasaee Eaaltable Aa
aeaaaaeat af Preaerty la
State.
"I look for no substantial relief, such
ss the people of the stste need, from this
law," said Representative George L. Loom la
of Fremont yesterday In speaking ot tha
new revenue law enscted by the last legis
lature, of which he waa the fusion leader
In the house. Mr. Loo mis likewise was s
member of the Joint committee that framed
thla new law, but he wss In the minority,
snd the lew, even when presented, did not
meet his entire approval.
'There Is no question that the law will
Increase the volume ot taxes," continued
Mr. Loomls, "but, while the grand assess
ment is too small, that la not the main
proposition. What we need aa a means ot
relief la the equitable distribution ot taxes
and that is what. In my Judgment, this
law will not produce. I know that some
ot Its ardent exponents claim that it will
do this, but I am frank to aay It requires
more faith than I am able to command to
entertain such hopes. That the bill will
Increase the taxes ot the farmer In the
east end of the state and the taxea of other
smaller taxpayers there Is no doubt In my
mind, but It does not promise sny msterlal
Incresse in the tsxes of the railroads and
other corporations that have been evading
or eacaplng their share of the public bur
den. And there Is where the law will fall
to accomplish the highest purpose, meet
the greatest need and do what was pri
marily sought through revenue revision
As I hsve ssld. It is not simply sn Increaao
In the bulk of taxea that this state needa
to give It the necessary revenue, but an
equal distribution of those taxea. The big
gest tsxpsyers must be msde to bear their
ahare of the burden, but thla lew will not,
in my Judgment, do that. On the other
hand, it will, I feel certain, double the
tsxes of ths farmers in that part of the
atate east from Dodge county; In the west
ern part the disparity will not be as great.
Only One Hope.
"There la but one hope of bringing the
railroads and other large corporations to
time snd that la In the State. Board of
Equalisation. If that board, which haa It
In Ita power, will tax these concerne on
20 per cent of all their property, not al
lowing their franchises to escape. It will
be all right, but I see nothing on which to
base any hopes that the board will do thla.
Certainly there is no example to lead ua
to any auch conclusion."
Mr. Loomls' attention waa called to the
avowed determination of the Western
Union Telegraph company to contest that
part of the law which taxea telegraph, tel
ephone and expresa companiea on their
tangible property and. In addition thereto,
on their gross earnlnga for one year as
their franchisee.
"Well, I sm not surprised," he said. "I
opposed that method of taxation when we
were at work on tbe bill. I particularly
opposed It then snd later In the bouse in
committee of the whole, when the efforts
were made to Include under this head stret
railway companiea, which themselves fought
for thla position. I aald then' and I aay
now, that there la not close enough connec
tion between gross receipts snd .franchises
to tsks the former for the latter for tax
ation purposes. , I was very much opposed
to that feature bf the revenue bill. Which
In many waya la a splendid measure and I
am opposed to It still In the lsw. I think
It wss a grave mistake.
"No, they can aay all they please about
this lsw raising the total assessed valua
tion from $180,000,000 to $500,000,000, and
equalising mattera, but It will not do It. It
will make some Increase, but not ' that
much, and It will not afford the relief so
necessary, for the lncreaae will not be
equitable."

Test for Yourself the Wonderful
Curative Properties of Swamp-Root
To Prove What Swrtmp-Root, tho World-Famous Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of Tho Bee, May Havo
a Sample Bottle FREE.
X3J WILLIAM MOORE, 1 k A t O L M f f - M. F RE DEN 8 UR aTflt?'

Gentlemen: Some two years ago I was so run down that I lacked strength, had no appetite
and could not sleep nights. Sometimes it seemed as though my back would break in two After
stooping. I had to get up many times during the night to urinate and go often through the
day. After having the best physicians prescribe for me without relief, I decided from my
symptoms that the medicine I needed was Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-ltoot, the great kidney, liver and
bladder . remedy. After trying a sample bottle with good results, I purchased six bottles of the
regular size and after taking them was entirely cured. Swamp-Root is a wonderful remedy
when a man is not feeling well, after exposure or loss of sleep and irregular meals. It is also a
great medicine to tone up a man's system. Other members of the police force are using and rec
ommending Swamp-Root. They, like myself, cannot say too much in praise of this great remedy.
The officers (whose signatures accompany this letter), as well as myself, thank ynti for the
good yon have accomplished in the compounding of Swamp-Root.
We remain yours very truly, -
