LINCOLN. Jul' 18. (Special.) On Mon
day tha Rtito RniH of Formalization Will
begin the work of equalising the levy for
the state. All the returns ore In from
the counties with tho exception of flow
ard and Custer, neither of which have
returned their valuations for the present
-ear.
The two delinquent counties 1U t
called upon to pay the full levy of Vi
mills Instead of half that amount which
they paid last year. This is the require
ment of the law. The law suthorlses
the board to Impose the full limit pro
vided by. law for the general nd various
special funds. The last year's valuation
will be used aa a basis. Ten counties
were out on the last day, July 10, which
la fixed by law for the nllns of these re
turns in the ofllce of the state auditor.
By the grace of the board these counties
will probably not be dealt with harshly
except In the case of the two mentioned.
Nance county broke the records for the
year with an Increase in Its valuation of
mora than one-third over last year. The
assessed valuation of that county last year
Was $1,122,683.51, while this year It had
risen to $1,662,621, an increase of $429,937.43.
The principal source of the Increase seems
to be In the valuation placed on improved
lands. Last year land was returned at
$2.27, while for this year the precinct as
sessors have placed a valuation of $3.68 on
It an Increase of $1.41 per acre or more
than one-half over last year s figures.
Hard Work and gmall Pay.
The appointment of the secretary of the
new board of equalisation provided for
under the new law is going to worry the
members f the board. The duties of that
official will be very onerous but the of
ficial" will enjoy the unique distinction of
having his orders obeyed by subordinates
drawing a much higher salary than he la
permitted to receive. The county assessor
who will be elected this fall In Lancaster
county will get $1,800 a year for working
about half of the time while the Douglas
county gentleman who draws the prise at
' the fall election will have the pleasure of
pocketing $2,400 a year. Because of the
character of the duties of the office, and
the comparatively small pay It seems that
there will be a dearth of candidates who
will meet with the- approval of the board.
The man who Is to be' chosen will have
to wait until December 16 to take up the
work of the ofllce and then will be called
upon to prepare the schedules and blanks
reaulred under the terms of the- new law.
A member of the present board who will
also be a member of the new board started
this morning .that it .will be almost an
Impossibility for a man of any but the
hlahest acquirements to get these things
prepared by January 1, the date when
these things ought to be In the hands of
the county assessors. Because of the
many changes made by the new law It is
believed that) the preparation of these
blanks must be preceded by expert ex
amination Into the many sections of the
new law and that the secretary ought to
have at leasU'XlUWa month to prepare
the blanks Instead of fifteen -days.
The difficulty la' due 'to the fact that
some economical . legislator In . the house
committee of the whole, moved to amend
the revenue bill so -as to change the date
of tha aoDolntment of the secretary from
October 14 to September 16. The amend
ment got through . in some . unexplained
war with the result that the board will
be hard pressed to get the new law Into
working order early enough to prevent dls
.niuiion of the revenue systems In
the counties.
Sends Cash to Kansas,
Oavernor Mickey has remitted $26 to Oov
ernor Bailey at Topeka, for the relief of
the flood sufferers. This is the amount that
the governor has received at his office In re
sponse to his statement that he would be
pleased to take charge of private contribu
tions for the aid of the Kansas people who
suffered tn the late floods. The goyemor
i does not believe that this small contrlbu
Vs.tlon represents the total amount which the
J state was ready to give for the relief or sur
feting. He feels that the wide publicity
given to the failure of the Kansas legisla
ture In lis special session to provide for the
aid of the flood sufferers has given the peo
ple of the state the Impression that the suf
fering was not so great as to demand as
sistance from the outside. The amount for
warded by the governor represents the of
ferings of several people.

State Guard Goes to Riley.
Adjutant General Culver received a tele
gram from the War department this morn
ing stating that one regiment of the Ne
braska National Guard would be ordered to
take part In the regular army maneuvers
at Fort Riley this year. The War depart
ment does not state the date when the
troops will be sent to the Kansas town
and It Is expected that the guards will be
kept In Ignorance until the last moment
In order that their preparedness may be
tested by the military condition of the
regiment which happens to be ordered out.
General Culver has not yet decided which
regiment of the guard will be allowed to
take the trip.
He announced this morning after receiv
ing the telegram from the War department
that the regiment which was kept at home
would be sent Into camp at about the same
time that the maneuvers take place. This
will give both regiments a taste of military
life under service conditions.
The men who go to Fort Riley will be
placed on the same basis as the regular
army during the continuance of the ma
neuvers and the officers and men will re
ceive the pay of regulars. The War de
partment furnishes subsistence stores and
pays the transportation expenses. Several
regiments from other states and several
regular army organisations will be on the
ground. The topography of the country
around Fort Riley is of such a varied na
ture that the soldiers are given a good Idea
of the trials and duties of actual service.

and the appointment has been confirmed
by the head council sitting at Rock Island,
Mr. Johnson has been the deputy head
consul for Nebraska for the last two years,
His close organisation of Mr. Talbot'
campaign for tho headship of the order
won him a reputation aa an able manager
and his appointment comos as a recogni
tion of his ability. He will have charge of
all the field work over the entire union

Library Commission Blast Move.
The Board of Publlo Lands and Bulld-
li gs haa authorised summary steps for the
vacation of the offices now occupied by
Miss Bullock, secretary of the State Li
brary commission, to make room for more
commodious and adequate quarters for
the pure food commissioner Mr. Thomp
son. Head Janitor E. L. Beeson today re
ceived orders to proceed on Monday to
clean out one of the rooms which Miss
Bullock has been occupying, piling the fur
nishings up in the other room of the suite
until Miss Bullock can have it removed to
other quarters. Miss Bullock is now out
In the western part of the state attending
the Junior normal meetings, and It seems
to have been accepted as a favorable time
in which to have the Janitor carry out
the determination of the board announced
some three weeks since, when it was de
elded that she should be notiAed to vacate.
This action Is presumed to be the result
of the action of the university authorities
In denying the food commissioner the use
of laboratory privileges at the state farm,
The State Board of Publlo Lands and
Buildings Is charged with the duty of fur
nishing suitable quarters and equipments
for the pure food commissioner. It does not
feel that It devolves upon It to furnish
quarters for the secretary of the State LI
i brary commission, which comprises the
chancellor of the university, the state su
perintendent of publlo instruction, the state
librarian and other dignitaries outside of
the state house. Up to the time that the
university authorities saw fit to deny the
food commissioner laboratory privileges at
the state farm, no objections were raised
to tle continuance of Miss Bullock In the
rooms she has long occupied on the third
floor of the capltol, but Immediately there
after the board reached the conclusion
that It had to have those Identical rooms In
order 'to provide suitable accommodations
for the food commissioner. There are
number of unoccupied rooms on the same
floor.

FREMONT. Neb., July 18. (Speclal.)-A

was held here yesterday. Representatives
were present from Omaha, Schuyler, Lin

oughly discussed, and It was decided to
appeal to the Interstate Commerce com

These rates have been In force In Minne

near future. Those who were present at
the meeting here expect the assistance of
the National Millers' association and ex
pect In time to get the rates which they
consider themselves Justly entitled to.
The question of the various' kinds of
wheat and the grading of wheat was also
discussed. '
T. M. Maher, a farmer living near this
city, haa devoted much time and study in
the development of a kind of wheat that Is
adapted to Nebraska soil and climate and
by scientific botanical methods has devel
oped no less than five kinds. His work has
not yet entirely passed the experimental
stage, but he has several kinds that last
year yielded much larger crops than were
raised from the ordinary seed. He has also
pursued the same plan with corn, and his
work In both lines has been highly com
mended by experts of the United States

NEW WHEAT REACHES MARKET

Five Bushels to the Acre and
Bells for Good Figure.
LINWOOD, Neb., July 18. (Special.) Ths
wheat harvest Is completed and some
threshing has been done. The first load
of new wheat came to market yesterday,
tested sixty pounds and brought 67 cents
per bushel. It averages twenty-five bushels
to the acre and is of excellent quality. A
havy rain, about two Inches, accompanied
by a strong wind, occurred Thursday night,
which blew down the oats and did some
damage to wheat In the shock.

very destructive storms. Another week

If you are a victim of Nervo-Sexual Debility, with all its distressing symp
toms, you certainly do not intend to remain so. Tou have only one life to live. ,
Why not live it In the full enjoyment of abundant vitality and perfect health?
The fact that you have taken Inferior remedies to no avail should rot destroy
your fslth in arl treatment, nor your hope of a rational cure. During my long .
terms of scientific study and practical
experience I have evolved a special
treatment for Nervo-Sexual Debility
that Is uniformly successful In cases
where success was before and by
other doctors deemed. Impossible. It
does not stimulate temporarily, but
restores permanently. It allays the Ir
ritation of the delicate tissues sur
rounding the lax and unduly expanded
seminal ducts, contracting them to
their normal condition, which stops
night emissions, dries up day drains,
and prevents prematureness. It tones
up and strengthens the blood vesse!s
that carry nourishment to the weak
ened parts, which regain full strength.
Meanwhile all other symptoms Im
prove, and the patient finally realises,
as If a great blight had been lifted
from his life, that he had found re
lief from his terrible affliction. If you
are unable to visit me in person, you
should write for my Booklet. It con
tains a scientific and yet simple discourse on VARICOOEIK, STRICTURE.
SPECIFIC BLOOD POISON, NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY nnd associate
MALE PELVIC DISEASES, with their reflex complications. . No man should
be without this book; all can have It free by describing their trouble.
My counsel Is gratis to patients, and to physicians desiring in good fslth
to consult me concerning obstinate cases. A legally written contract to cure,
backed bv abundant capital, is given to every man upon beginning treatment.
