MNCOLN, Neb.. Fob. 8 (Speelsl.)
There is considerable discussion imnnr the
members of the Bute Board of Equaliza
tion as to the meaning; of section 28 of
the ntw revenue law providing for the
taxation of credits. It haa been the gen
eral bfllef since the opinion of the court
sustaining the act that the owners of
credits might deduct therefrom the
amount of their outstanding obligations,
but It la now a proposition which the
Board of Equalization will have to solve
without the aid of the court unless a new
SJlt Is Instituted. A member of the court
Is authority for the statement that the
decision of the court proper did not touch
on the question of credit taxation, merely
holding that the act as an entirety was
constitutional. The opinion by the com
missioners held that the debt might be
deducted from credit, but the opinion was
never adopted by the supreme Judges, and,
consequently, although handed down with
the main decision. Is regarded ss nothing
but a dictum of no binding force.
The State Board of Equalisation will ask
the attorney general for an opinion In re
gard to the matter, but it Is Intimated
that there Is a strong likelihood that he,
with other members of the bosrd, will
hold that credits are to be taxed In the
gross without any deductions. A strong
sentiment In that direction haa developed
of late among the members of that body,
who profess to believe that It would be
unfair to exempt any species of property
from taxation. One reason for this atti
tude la the difficulty of deciding just what
pedes of credits are to be taken In the
net and what are to be taken In gross.
Secretary Bennett has been pondering for
several weeks on the problem, and It Is
Intimated that he would hold that only
book credits are entitled to the deductions.
This la what the Omaha wholesalers con
tended for when they joined In the suits
to teat the constitutionality of the rev
,nun law, but the members of the board
would hesitate before antagonising the
large body of not and bondholdlng
taxpayers by making a discrimination as
to deductions of debts unless there was
express warrant for such action In the
decisions of the supreme court.

Cell Contract questioned.
Auditor Weston has secured a copy of
the contract for the cells at the penlten

for payment. The contract calls for $442.50
for each cell, but 'It Is understood that

Bay Massachusetts Boads.
This afternoon the State Board of Edu
cational Lands and Funds made another
purchase of $100,000 of Massachusetts gold
8V4 per cent bonds on a 34 per cent basis.
One-half were purchased from Kelly &
Xelly of Topeka, Kan., while the other half
was purchased from N. W. Halsey Co.
of New York and Chicago. This purchase
was made because of the dearth of state
warrants and county bonds offered for In
vestment to the permanent school fund.
Coupons will be clipped from the bonds In
the present purchase to bring them down
to a - VA basla. The state already holds
$.100,000 of these bonds as Investments for
the permanent school fund, but they were
all purchased on a S per cent basis, -so that
the present transaction represents a gain
for the state. Tha more stringent money
market is responsible for the better rate
offered.
Several brokers were represented at the
bidding before the board. Mr. Mortensen,
desirous of securing the widest possible
competition, sent letters to several brokers
Inviting them to bid on the state securities
which they had to offer, and at the tame
time he notified every county board In the
state that he was In the market for any
securities of the counties which they repre
sented. This accounts for the interest
which was taken by the brokers, who cam
from all points of the compass to offer
their securities. Virginia 3s, Alabama 5s
Tennessee Ss and North Carolina 6a were
offered, but the board considered the bonds
of the codfish state as the next thing to
United States bonds and favored them
when they could be secured on a reasonable
baU.
This purchase, together with the Incoming
general fund warrants, will enable Mr.
Mortensen to cope with the Increasing per
manent fund cash for February, but the
problem will arise again In succeeding
months with the Inauguration of the new
revenue regime, and more foreign securi
ties will have to be taken until the con
stitution Is amended so as to permit of the
purchase of the bonds of school districts.

Smooth Forger Gets In Ills. Work.
There are a numler of Jewelers In .Lin
coln who would like to ascertain the where
abouts of one W. F. Morrison, otherwise
known to them as Wesley Morrison and
Clarence Naylor. He was In town last
night, but today the most earnest, efforts
of the officers have failed to locate him,
while the merchants are longing for the
money and the diamonds he took away
with him. His efforts, as far as the mat
ter has been looked Into, will aggregate
in the neighborhood of $500 and all there
la left to show for It is Charles Dean, who
is now locked up In the police station, and
some worthless checks drawn on the First
National bank of Joplln, Mo., which were
left In the Jewelers' hands when the man
got the goods.
Part of the business was done last Sat
urday night and the rest yesterdsy, . As
far as can be learned Charles Fleming of
1411 O street was the principal loser. He
gave the man a 12S watch and chain and
?22 In money lit exchange for a .certified
check drawn on the afore-mentloned bank.
There were three In the party when they
made the deal with Mr. Fleming. The man
who gave his name as Morrison and had
the check did the talking, while the other
two stood around and gave him their
moral support.
Morrison was able to put up a good talk
and although It was after the city banks
had closed he would just as leave come
around tomorrow ami get the watch If the
Jeweler did not feel like cashing the check.
But he cashed it.
The officers ar now on the track of the
forger and due of his accessories, one of
them, Charles Dean, having been nabbed
Just as he was about to leave town, ac
cording to the theory of the police.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Fob. 9. iSpeclal Telegram.)
For three hours tonight D. K. Thompson,
United State minister to Brazil, stood In
the receiving line In the parlor of the Lin
coln hotel shaking hands with several
thoussnd guests. To the reception given
In his honor came numerous friends from
all parts of the state. The parlors, the
dining room and the lobby of the Lincoln
hotel were artistically decorated with roses,
cut flowers, national colors. Brazilian flags,
palms and ferns. In the receiving line Miss
Eva Thompson stood beside her brother,
Mrs. Thompson being slightly wearied and
Indisposed.
The Elks attended In a body and a room
was elaborately decorated for their head
quarters. The reception began at 8 o'clock
and dancing In the dining room lasted until
11:70.
The affair was one of the most brilliant
In the history of the city. The entire sec
ond floor of the Lincoln hotel was given
over to the committee on decorations, and
It labored all day long to transform It Into
a place of beauty.
The large and spacious rotunda looked
like a fairy gnrden, with the flowers, vines
and many lights. Southern smllax had been
used in profusion. The mahogany balus
trade had been trimmed In It, and on the
ledge of It were placed hundreds of trop
ical palm. The pillars were artistically
draped In the national colors of Brar.U,
yellow and green. At the base of each was
a shield of Old Glory. A slender strand of
glided wire crossed to each corner, and
hung on this wire were the national flags
of the United States and Brazil.
Electric Welcome.
As the guests entered the main door they
were greeted and dazzled by a large sign
on the balustrade reading, -welcome
Home." Twelve hundred Incandescent
lights made this sign most conspicuous
Over this and surrounded by American
flags was a large bust portrait of Mr.
Thompson. The parlors on the west side
were given over to the Klks, and the head
miarters of that lodge were known by a
large elk's hesd. with an electric light on
the antlers, above which there was a sign
reading. "Welcome. Our Brother."
In the large dining room were many flags
and an orchestra stationed there discoursed
sweet music throughout the evening. Re
freshments were also served there, and
later In the evening there was dancing.
The whole effect of the decorations were
that of a tropical garden.
The receiving line was stationed In par
lor D. Many friends of Mr. Thompson
from different parts of the state will at
tend. '
Mr. Thompson arrived this morning and
has been busy all day with business mat
ters. He expresses pleasure and gratifica
tion with his work In Brazil, although
working under the disadvantage of having
very few Americans there. Mr. Thomp
son's recent efforts have been devoted to
ward getting preferential tariffs that will
enable the United States to successfully
compete with other merchants for the
trade of that country. The business of the
country Is largely done by the Germans,
French and Portuguese. ,
The returti trip to Brazil will be taken on
April 5. Most of the time between now and
then will be spent at his Mexican ranch.

an examination that will disclose
your true physical condition, without
a knowledge of which you are groping
In the dark. If you have taken treat
ment without success, I will show you
why it failed.
It is not so
much of a
calamity that

them fails to secure the proper treatment for their cure,

and quick cure schemes.
