Th attorney tiitlons whether ihe title

two questions Involved. Is not Ihe act

earrh to find out what Is the law woul 1
be compelled to go back to the original
nactmenl. even though It took him back
to tha first session of the territorial legis
lature In lHi. The act, however, doe not
apply to the criminal code for the reason
that this was re-enacted In 1873.
In the criminal code, however, there are
many defects; In fait, acattered through
the statutes there are many laws In which
discrepancies could bu pointed out, thU In
moat Instances because the bills have not
been enacted Intj laws according to the
constitution. Many ..f these have not yet
been tested, which Is not saying that they
will never be. The attorney this morning
would not say that he Intended to attack
some of the laws In tiuestlun, but he Inti
mated that In the mar future there might
be something doing.

seMNors Asking; Questions.
Secretary Pennett of the State Board of
KiptulixHtlon Is In receipt of many letters
the days frnm county assessors asking
for Inform. ithm In conducting thrlr assess
ment campaigns. One received recently was
whether Irrigation property Is taxable. In
the new revenue law, section 61. appears
this: "AH rtlt.'hes, canals, laterals or other
works for Irrigation purposes shall be .ex
empt from Hll taxation, whether state,
county or municipal." Another request was
whether Indians should be tttxed. While
the board has said nothing of this. It Is
more than III-cly that the red men will have
to come up with their little donation for
the benetlt of the government.
Dr. McLi-od, Ir. Ixiughrlrtge and Pr. Rey

former colleagues In the Lincoln Medical
college of ('otner university, now the Lin

of the property of the o'd institution to the
new one is declared void.
Court Takes ew Tack,
In a numtier of decisions handed down by
the supreme court this morning unreported
opinions are cited by the court in arriving
at conclusions which lawyers construe to
mean that hereafter these unreported de
cisions will lie accepted as good law. In
the past this has, not been done, the unre
ported opinions merely being cited In speci
fic cases, but In two of the cases In whli h
the opinions are cited It Is said to have
pa ted the way for a general use of tha
j opinions.
It was stated that the opinions will be
used as good law except In cases where
they cmitllct with ofTUIal decision of the
court heretofore rendered.

The "dead line" strip in the north part
of the county Just south of the Tine Ridge
reservation that vns but lately opened to
settlement by presidential proclamation, at
the present rate promises to be entirely
taken up by March 1. The Alliance land
office received notice from the Land de

accept filings, ennsequently those wishing
to secure land have either to wait until
plats are received or hold the land by
"squa'.tcr's right. As the bottom land along
the streams Is very valuable as alfalfa
land, scores of people from this and ad
Joining counties have resorted to the lat

As on some claims there are more than

In sight. If not something more serious.

MRS. IDA ROSER,
to relate Her Experience lor Benefit
'Dear Mrs. Tinkham: I have
not been blessed with a child. I have, however, suffered with a complication of female
troubles and painful menstruation, until very recently.
The value of Lydia U. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was called to my
attention by an intimate friend, whose life had simply been a torture with inflammation
and ulceration, and a few bottles of your Compound cured her; she can hardly believe it

consider myself cured. I am once more in fine health and spirits; my domestic and offi
cial duties all seem easy now, for I feel so strong I can do three times what I used to do.
You have a host of friends in Denver, and among the best count, Yours gratefully,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
seems to be the universal woman's medicine for the high and low, rich and poor; and why not? - Ihe organ
ism of all women is alike, and the society woman is just as susceptible to the ills of womankind as are her
less favored sisters, but owing to their inherent distaste for advertised articles will resort to all other methods
for a cure first. Yet it is a fact worth recording that Mrs. Pinkham is constantly receiving letters from women
of high social position, saying as a last resort and without any faith, they tried Lydia E. Pinkham S Vegeta
ble Compound and were completely cured by it. She actually has thousands of such letters.
Mountains of trold could.not purchase such testlmony-or take the place of Uie health and happiness which Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound brought to these women. No woman should suffer with such a remedy at hand.
SPECIAL, ADVICE TO YOUNG WOMEN FREE.
From a vast experience in treating female Ills, extendinp over 20 years, Mrs. Pinkham has trained a nwledg
whicbTof inTold value to every ailinyounjr woman. Her advice very sure to hel p. If you need such help, wrlte
her. She will bo glad to answer you confidentially and free of charge. Address Lynn, Mass.

Pneumonia In Cblcago.
Over 3,000 peojile died of pneumonia In
Chicago last year. In every case the disease
resulted from a cold. Had the cold been
promptly and properly treated at the outset
almost every one would have recovered.
This statement is nlundantly proven by
the fact that among the tens of thousands
throughout this country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their colds, no
case of pneumonia has ever been reported,
which shows conclusively that this remedy
is a certain preventive of pneumonia.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has gained
ita wide reputation and enormous sale by
the prompt and effectual cures of colds and
can always be depended upon.

TO COMBAT THE RAILROADS
Business Men to Organize and Con'rol
Routing- of Shipments,
TIRED OF DISCRIMINATION IN RATES
Scheme Said to Have Been Launched
by SMIekney and Backed by
the Leading; Wholesale
Dealers.
Omaha business men are said to have
arisen at last to the necessity of forcing
certain railroads to cease discrimination
against the commercial and Industrial in
tcrets of this city.
A plan Ih on foot among several of the
leading Jnbliers and heaviest shippers of
Omaha to perfect an organization for the
purpose of controlling the routing of ship
ments of freight In and out of Omaha.
As near as can lio ascertained, when the
p!ans are completed the routing of all ship
ments will be placed In the hands of one
man.
This man, it la said, Is prominent In the
Omaha Grain exchange. It is reported
that John I'll, secretary of the commer
cial club, will be employed to perform the
active vrork of looking tfter the routing.
It is said Mr. lTtt was engaged for this pur
pose before he retigned from the secretary
ahip of the Commercial club.
Htlckney Back of It.
President Rtlckney cf the Great Western
Is given credit for originating the e-heme,
which lie will. It is reported, support with
all tho energy and tenacity which has
characterised bis former fights for a grain
market In this city.
So far tho parties interested In the deal
have been verv secretive and very little of
the actual plans under consideration has
leaked out.
Tho association Is being formed for tho
purpose of fighting those railroads which
have been unfavorable to the building up
of a grain market In this city. It is said
the plan Is to direct the 'fight against the
Northwestern and Burlington, with the ob
ject in view of forcing them Into line with
their grain rates.
A man who Is very well posted on the
situation locally said:
"If twenty of the leading- shippers of this
city will stand together to enforce their
demands against the Northwestern wo can
get what we deslro from that line Inside
of thirty days. What we want is rates
on grain favorable to this city. If the
lines which have been fighting Omaha will
grant that, of course the fight will be off
and tho organization would probably be
disbanded."
