The State Board of Equalization will meet Monday to begin work on the assessment of railroad property and before that ''me li l! earnestly desired, by at leust one me.r. bcr of the board, that some one will tlgttie out and publish a good, reasonable, and Just way to determine the value of a fran chise. The plan wanted is one that wll! hold waer and that will stand the test of the court. The board has been literally covered up with figures showing the valuation of railroad property, the bridges, the build ings, the grounds, the rolling Block and everything else except the cost of the steel and Iron used In the tracks, though the time this material has leen In use Is given, and though the board members have not yet In formal session looked at these figures. Individually they have teen enough to bewilder them. The members have everything that any one could want to And out the true value of the roads bnd whether they have too much Information remains to be seen after the assessment Is made. The board members are not given to talking very much, but one -member has thrown out the suggestion that the tax payers should have patience and wait until the board meets. The fact that the as sessments are so much higher than form ally, this member said, does not necessar ily follow that the taaes of the Individual will be materially raised for the simple fact the levy will be lower. It la re quired that Just so much money be raised to pay the expenses of the state and with such an Increased assessment roll It stands to reason that a lower levy will follow, therefore the man who has In times past paid his share of the taxes will not bo unduly burdened with the new law. It Is the corporation and the Individual that haa heretofore escaped, as a board metniier believes, that will be the one hit and n.-i other. In the meantime there Is little question but the railroad assessment will be Increased, and the board wants a way to And the value of a franchise. nr. The Chief of Healers.

' T: The State Board of Equalization has fol lowed the counsel of Attorney General Prout and will not assess life insurance policies that have a cash surrender value and in all likelihood will disregard the counsel of the attorney general In the mat ter of assessing securities deposited by fraternal companies and decide not to as sess these. Of the board members It Is understood that Governor Mickey, Auditor Weston and Secretary of State Marsh are not In favor of assessing the fraternal se curities and will so vote when Members Mortensen and Follmer return to Lincoln and a board meeting Is called.

Her ad vice la free, aud all letters are held by her in the strictest confidence. Address Mrs. Pinkham Lynn, Mass. Don't put off writing her until your health is wrecked. Girls who work are particularly susceptible to female ills, especially when obliged to stand on their feet from morning until night. Day in and day out, month in and month out, the year through, the working girl toils; Rue Li often the bread winnerof the family, and must work that others may live; whether she is sick or well, whether it rains or shines, whether it id warm or cold she must get to her place of employment' and perform the duties exacted from her. Among this class the symptoms of female diseases are early manifest by weak and aching backs, pain in tho lower limbs and lower part of the stomach; in consequence of frequent wetting of the feet monthly periods become painful and irregular, and frequently there are faint and dizzy spells, with loss of appetite, until life is a burden and it is hard work to drag atout. All these symptoms point to a derangement of the female organism, and if taken in time can be easily and permanently cured. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
