I.fNCOI.X. March ' (Special. )-At a
',, meeting held this morning the State Board
; it Fxjiialliatlon Jeclded that, the decision
.".. of Attorney Oenefal Front. Mint credits In
the neVrvrehueTnw'rriean not credits, af
fects on'lyi these ltemrri the personal prop
. . erty schedules "AH note secured by mort
gsge owned hy nje; all other notes owned
by me; all money loaned by me nnd not
already entered on this schedule; all book
, accounts due tne, and credits not otherwise
Hated." V .
The Interpretation of the hoard means
,,,, that a posn wip hold, notes scured by
mortgage, owns pther notes, has book ac
counts due, has' money loaned that Is not
already Included In 1 ttler schedule and has
credits not otherwise listed upon which he
la to be raxed. Ihe "person has the privilege
of dedntrhg money that he owes.
The Item, "credits not other hie listed,"
Is taken to mean money loaned to a bank
and such like from which a person will be
allowed 'to deduct his debts.
Since Hie attorney geneVal held that cred-",-
Its mean flet credits there has been consid
erable apprehension that the revenue rained
under the new law would be materially de
creased because of the ruling. This action
of the board In making It apply to only
flTe items In the schedule. It Is said, will
cause only a (-mall decrease. The wholesale
merchants ot Omaha probably will be bene
' ' filed more thun any other by the decision.

THOIBLED OVER TELEPHONE HATER
Hemholdt Merchants Obert to Charge
for roanertlons.
HfMBOLDT, Neb.. Mxrch (Special.)
This city seems determined to maintain
Its reputation eatabllshed long ago as the
recognlied center of municipal controversy
In this part of the universe. The city
council was asked last evening to grant
a franchise to a newly organised mutual
telephone company which proposes, if per
mitted, to maintain a local exchange with
connections along the lines of the various
rural line In this neighborhood. The coun
cil passed the ordinance asked for to the
second reading and then allowed It to rest
until the next meeting. This move Is the
culmination of the strife over the matter
of rates charged by the company now op
erating here for cynectlng with rural
lines, which originated last summer and
was quite freely discussed at the time.
One of the rurtl companies was assessed
a fee of H a year per 'phone for connec
tions with the Humboldt company's lines.
This was later discontinued by order of
the city council, to whom had been dele
gated the power of arbitration of the dif
ferences. By an agreement between the
two companies this arrangement was con
tinued until the annual meeting In March
of this yesr. At that time the Humboldt
company decided to make a charge of 10
cents for each outgoing call and allow
free connections for Inward business. This
threw the burden on the local merchants,
who were dissatisfied and have quietly gone
to work and organlxed a competing con
cern. The stockholders In both companies
are local cltlsens and It may be that mat
ters will yet be settled by a sale or the old
franchise and stock to the new company.
At this time, however, those In charge of
, the latest move show no disposition to pur
chase. Vnder the terms or tne rrancnise
ordinance the work of construction Is prom
ised to be started within ninety days of
the passage of the measure.

Calls Merrick County Convention.
CENTRAL CITY. Neb., March ll-(8p-clal.)
The republican county central com
mittee met In this city yesterday for the
purpose of calling a convention to select
delegates to the state and congressional
conventions. ' It waa ordered that the
convention be called for May 12. No
resolutions were adopted endorsing anyone
for United States senator or for governor.
It would appear from a surface view that
there was no great enthusiasm for Mickey
as a self-successor In this county. Mr.
Harrison or Mr. Robertson appear to be
ttlose about whom the most favorable
comments are, made for governor. At pres
ent a strong pressure Is being brought to
bear upon Isaac S. Tyndale of Central
City, one of our most successful dry goods
merchants, to accept tha support of this
pounty for state senator. Should Mr.
Tyndale become the nominee for this of
fice It la conceded that he would carry
this county by a very large majority.

FREIGHT TRAINS IN A WRECK
Engineer and Firemen gave Lives b
Jumping In Accident at
Crete.
CRETE, Neb., March 18 .(Special Tele
gram.) A bad wreck occurred In the Bur
lington yards here this morning, when
through freight No. 77 ran Into an open
switch and smashed Into a portion of
freight No. 71, completely demolishing the
engine of No. 77 and several box cars
loaded with produce. s
Engineer Rest and Fireman Snead of the
through freight saved their lives by Jump
ing and escaped with a few bruises and
pralns.
Had the caboose of No. 11 not been on
another track at the time loss of life would
undoubtedly have occurred. Roth trains
were westward bound. No. 71 had for some
time been switching In the yards. As
No. 77 came In n brakeman of the other
crew signalled aclear track without notic
ing the open switch, and when once they
had entcrfd it the reversal of the engine
was powerless to check the long train of
heavily loaded cars.
Fire threatened to break out In the
wreckage and the local fire department
was summoned to the tcene and soon put
It out. Fortunately traffic was not block
aded, one or :wo side tracks being free from
wreckage. A wrecking crew arrived from
Lincoln shortly after noon and is at work
removing the wreckage. Conductor Bogan
had charge of No. 71 and Dick Adams of
No. 77. The blame for the wreck Is Mild to
rest on the brakeman who signalled a clear
track and neglected to close the switch.

Wine of Cardui is a thoroughly tried menstrual regulator and as a tonic it has no
equal within the reach of American women today. The way this pure Wine found Miss
Elworth in impaired health and put her on her feet should recommend it to every suffering
woman. Nearly all the ills of women are caused in the first place by menstrual irregu
larity, and neglect of this important function is the beginning of very serious, fatal and
chronic disease.
Wine of Cardui regulates the menstruation perfectly. We have never known it to
fail in a single case which was uncomplicated with other troubles, and in nineteen out
of twenty complicated cases when menstruation is involved Wine of Cardui relieves the
entire trouble.
Wine of Cardui will bring you quick relief. It will bring you perfect health. It has
cured worse cases than yours and we know it will cure you if you give it a proper trial.
