BANKERS MEET IN LINCOLN Data Dependent Upon Time of Holding the National Contention. REWARDS FOR BANKROBBIRS DISCUSSED gepreme Caart Knocks Out School Levy Ltif ot'lMOT, bat Thou Who Paid (Hcaal Levy Canaot Recover. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Neb., May Si. (8poelal.)-Th executive council of the Nebraska State Bankers association hua decided that Lin coln Is the proper place for the next state convention of the association to be held. The exact date will be dependent upon the time of the holding of the meeting of the American Bankers' association meeting In San Francisco. One of the Important ques tions that will come before the next con vention will ba that of rewards to be of fered for the arrest of bank robbers. This had been referred to a committee com posed of T. E. Stevens of Blair, J. W. Welpton of Ogallala, and Q. B. Darr of Lexington. The supreme court at Its last sitting handed down an opinion that will affect every county In the state more or less In a financial way. The court has held that the provision In the statutes which was first adopted by the legislature in 1S9T, al lowing school districts to levy a 25 mlll school tax was not properly enac ted for the reason that the title of the bill was defective. The case In which the question comes up la that of Union Pacific against Sprague, a Merrick county case In which the railroad company enjoined the collection of the 26-mlll tax by the county treasurer. The lower court decided that the tax was valid but the case was taken to the supreme court and the contention of the railroad company was upheld. The court holds that the title of the act was too restrictive to cover the provision giving authority to school boards to make the enlarged levy. The legislature amended the title of the act In 1901 and the act as amended Is de clared to be constitutional by the supreme court. This makes valid all taxes levisd In excess of the JO mills provided for prior to 1S97, where levied since the law of 1901 went Into effect, but the additional 6 mills levied In many counties during the four years when the Invalid amend ment was on the statute books was lllegil and could probably be recovered back by the persons who have paid it. It is be lieved at the office of the state superln tendent that many of the 7,000 districts in the state ' have levied the full 25 mills during the time that the law pro viding for the Increase was Invalid. It was believed at first that the entlra levy for the four years was Invalid. Had that been the case a great deal of lltlga tlon would have ensued, but according to the state treasurer courts will probably hold that the levy was invalid, only so far as It exceeds the 20-mlll limitation fixed by the law as It stood prior to 1897. Any levy to t$e full extent of the 20 mills would be valid and could not be at tacked. . UNIVERSITY CADETS IN CAMP is Drive Them From the . Groaads to the Hill ... Country. Fair WAHOO. Neb.j May 28.

Moody, a prominent Knight Templar, Is well known in every city In the United States west of Buffalo, N. T., as a Jeweler's Auctioneer. In the city of Chicago as a prominent lodge man, being a member of the K. T.'s and also of, the Masons. The cut shows Colonel Moody In the costume of the Oriental Consis tory Masons, S2nd' degree. In a recent letter from BOflO Michigan avenue, Chicago, III., Mr. Moody says the following: "For over twenty-five year I suffer ed from catarrh, and for over tea years I suffered from catarrh of the stomach terribly. ' "I have taken all kinds of medicines and have been treated by all kinds of doctors, as thousands of my acquaint ances are aware In different parts of the United States, where I hare travel ed, but my relief was only temporary, until a little over a year ago I started to to take Peruna, and at the present time I am better than I have been for twenty years. 'The soreness has left my stomach entirely and I am free .from In digestion and dyspepsia and will say to all,who are troubled with catarrh or stomach trouble of any kind don't put It off and suffer, but begin to take Pe runa right away, and keep It up until you are cured, as you surely will be If yoft persevere. "My wife, as many In the southwest can say, was troubled with a bad cough and bronchial trouble, and doctors all over the country gave her up to die, as they could do nothing more for her. She began taking Peruna with the result that she is better now than she has been In years, and her cough has almost left her entirely. The soreness has left her lungs and aha la aa well as she ever was In her life, with thanks, as aha says, to Peruna. Tours very truly, T. P. MOODT." Catarrh In Its various forms Is rapidly becoming a general curse. An undoubted remedy haa been discovered by Dr. Hart- man. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prom inent men have come to know of Its vir tues, and are making publlo utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that la at once the most prevalent and stubborn of cure Is catarrh. If one were to make a list of the different names that have been applied to catarrh In the different locations and organs, the result would' be astonishing. We have of ten published a partial list of these names, and the surprise oauned by the first pub lication of It to all people, both professional and non-professional, was amusing.
