(From a Stall Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 17. (8peelal.) The State
Board 'of Equalisation adjourned this
morning . until Thursday morning and
therefore will not report its findings on the
valuation of railroad property until after
the atate convention. The adjournment
came about after a lengthy debate between
Treasurer Morteneen and Auditor Weston
bout a method to arrive at the value of
the roads, Governor Mickey and Secretary
0t SUte Marsh voting with Weston and
Land Commissioner Folmer voting with
' Jdortensen. .
This morning Treasurer Morteneen moved
the adoption of a resolution In substance
that the board value the property Of a
certain railroad. Including the franchise
and all the Items specified In the statutea
at a certain figure. The figures are not
made public for the reason that Mr. Mor
teneen held the records. In his opinion
were not public property, and therefore It
would be out of place ' for him to make
public, the figures. Secretary Bennett has
made a ruling that when the board con
eludes Its work the facts will be made
public and not before.
This resolution was moved as n amend
ment to the motion of Auditor Weston
that tha. board proceed to tlnd the value
of the tangible property of the roads by
placing a "value on each Item. This the
board voted to do.
Id support of his resolution Mr. Morten
en argued that he had done that, and so
had the secretary of the tooard, the figures
having been' before the beard for some
days, and that therefore there w noth
ing to do buf find the result.. While he ad
vocated taking every piece of tanglbte
property, as well as the stocks and bonds
and the Income, Into consideration In ar
riving at the valuation, and did so. Mr.
Morteneen was opposed to making a rec
ord of the 'value of every Item for the
reason that If an acre of ground was val
ued too high or any Item seemed to be
valued too high It would give the roads
Just that much more ground upon which
to base a lawsuit! He also called the at
tention of the board to the supreme court
decision filed by the railroads that It was
illegal 'for a state to tax the franchise
of a railroad . whose charter had been
granted by the fedefal government. His
argument, however, had nrr effect, and Mr.
"Weston carried with him a majority of
the board. .
Though voting against Mr. Mortensen's
proposition, Governor Mickey said this aft
ernoon that(he Intended to use his best
Judgment 1n arriving at a conclusion and
that he Intended to take the value of the
stocks and. bonds. or the net earnings, cap
italised at a per cent yet to be figured out,
and from that subtract the value of the
tangible' property to find the value of the
1 franchiser The. governor stated that he
wanted to gin on'record with a value, for
very Item and If the roads didn't like It
then, have the courts settle the matter.

afraid of water. Judging from the attend
ance at the delegate county convention held
at this place yesterday to select delegates
to attend the state convention which Is

Thomas Sullivan, Jr... of Jackson, who rep
resented Omadl and St. John's precincts;
respectively. The democrats of this pre

thing about the convention until It was
over. Messrs. Ashford and Sullivan-met
together In the court house hall, but as
they both lsft for their, respective homes
aS soon as the meeting was over It Was
Impossible to get a report of the proceedings.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. May 17.-Special Tele
gram.) The establishment of a school of
Instruction for the signal -.corps of "the
srmy at Fort Omaha, which has been de
cided upon by the general staff, must
necessarily be slow, as there Is no consld
erable amount of money available at this
time to erect the necessary buildings for
officers and men, but Fort Omaha will be
made an Important adjunct to the signal
corps and already Quartermaster General
Humphrey haa commenced Inquiries as to
what may be done with the brick buildings
at the fort, so as to put them In habitable
condition. While the matter Is still In the
air, sufficient Is known, however, of the
plans of the War department so far as
the establishment of the signal corps at
Fort Omaha Is concerned nothing will be
done until after July L when the new ap
propriation for the army becomes avail
able. Immediately after that date the
brick administration building will be put
In condition for occupancy by a company
of the signal corps, with mess hall and
a hospital fitted probably with a dozen
beds. The commandant's house, which was
built by General Crook, will also be put in
repair for the occupancy of the command
ant, while the other brick buildings will
be used for storage purposes.
It Is probable General Chaffee will set
aside for the rehabltatton of Fort Omaha
320,000, to be spent during the summer, so
that a company of the signal corps may
occupy the fort In the fall. "Then the Wnr
department will look to the Nebraska dele,
gation and Its friends on the military com
mittee of the two houses to secure a direct
appropriation of $200,000 or' upward for the
construction of additional buildings and
whatever may be needed to make the post
habitable. 1 "
The chief signal officer. General A. XV.
Greeley, Insists upon this, In view of the
fact that he is leaving a post In Virginia
where $100,000 has been spent for signal
corps purposes, to establish a school and
depot for the signal service at Fort Omaha.
Preparing for Roaebod Opening.
' Officials of the general land office are
now engaged In preparing details to carry
out the proclamation of the president which
opens to settlement scV?e 2.400 homesteads
In Gregory County, South Dakota. Com
missioner Richards la hot giving the least
attention to the objections of Chamberlain
against the proposed action of the depart
ment in removing temporarily the land
office from Chamberlain to Bonesteel. In
reality. Commissioner Richards said today
that be had received . no formal protest
against his action, but he has had called
to his attention through marked copies of
newspapers published In the vicinity of
Chamberlain hints that the temporary
transfer of the land office from Chamber
lain to Bonesteel would be extremely dis
tasteful to residents of that city.
"However," said Commissioner Richards
today, "I will proceed upon the lines I have
mapped out as to the opening of the Rose
bud country.. ' ) , .
"During tho early rush 'the land offices
will ' be located at BoheeteeU " After the
rush Is over the laod' offices will be re
turned to Chamber)aiii,,'ut.lt ts my con
fident belief that, the best interests of all
corJberned will be best : conserved by estab
lishing a temporary land office at Bone
steel and I shall adhere to this program."
Inspecting Indian schools.
The annual inspection of the Omaha and
Winnebago Indian schools will be made this
year by Inspector James E. Jenkins of
Iowa. He will in a few days reach the
reservations and begin his inquiry.- The
investigation this year will be of particular
Interest In view of the tact that these
reservations have recently been placed un
der the control of bonded school superin
tendents. For many years the Omahas and
Wlnnebagos were under the control of an
agent. Then came the change. The ageut
was made school superintendent, but re
tired,1 however, after a few months' service
and then it was decided by the commis
sioner of Indian affairs to divide the reser
vation, placing a bonded school superin
tendent In charge of each. Inspector. Jen
kins goes to these reservations to ascertain
how the new plan is working.

mittee is not received with enthusiasm by
republican leaders .from New York. There
are several of these gentlemen In Washing
ton today and one of them, commenting
upon the selection, said: -
"Mr. Cortelyou Is an admirable gentle
man In every respect. He Is accredited to
New York, but he haa never been identified
with the politics of the state. He Is prac
tically unknown to the great business In
terests of New York City and that fact
will handicap him. It la essential that
money should be obtained and It would
have been , infinitely easier to secure the
sinews of war for the national committee.
If some one In closer touch with the people
who furnish these sinews had been selected.
Still, Mr. Cortelyou Is a clean man In every
reapect and It may be that he will prove a
better chairman than we anticipate."
Mr. Cortelyou will not be expected to
conduct the campaign alone. He will have
tho advice and help of at least four vice
chairmen and one of these will be James W.
Blythe of Burlington, la., who has been
urged for chairman by the people of the
west generally. Blythe understsnds the
practical side of political methods tnflnlfely
better than Mr. Cortelyou possibly can, be
cause he has been In politics for years.
Senator Scott will without, doubt have
charge of affairs In the southwest and
Murrsy Crane In New Englsnd. The fourth
man Is still to be chosen, probably he will
be Harry 8. New of Indiana.
The vice chairmen will act as an sdvlsory
committee and with the aid of Cornelius
N. Bliss, who will continue as treasurer,
there Is no reason to believe that the cam
paign will be devoid of Interest. The sec
retary of the national committee Is said
to be selected. The "old timers" are In
sisting upon the election of Elmer Dover,
who was private secretary of the late
Senator Hanna.' Mr. Dover, In view of his
association with the "man who made Mc
Klnley" Is better qualified than any other
who has been mentioned for the place and
he will have the strongest sort of backing
among Mr. Hanna's friends, although there
are a number of other candidates in the
field.

Millions who were sick like you, perhaps are well
to-day because of Liquozone.
The first bottle free ; will you try it ?
More people u" Liquozone now than
use medicine. Yet thousands still tine
drugs to cure germ troubles to do what
drugs can't do. If you are one of them,
won't you let us buy a bottle, of Llquo
gone and give It to you to try?
We Paid $100,000.
For the American rights to Mquotone,
because it kills germs in the body with
out killing the tissues, too. There Is
nothing else known which will do that
Any drug that kills germs is a polHon
and it cannot be taken internally. Medi
cine cannot destroy the cause of a germ
trouble.
LlquoBone is so certain that we pub
lish on every bottle an offer of ll.ooo
for a disease germ that It cannot kill.
Tbe reason Is that germs are vegetables,
and Liquor-one like an excess of oxygen
gss-rls deadly to vegetal matter. Uquo
znne invariably destroys tho germs of
disease wherever they are; yet to the
human body it is the most helpful thing
in tbe world.
Acts Like Oxygen.
The value of Liquozone lies in the fact
that It does what osygen does. Oxygen
Is the nerve food, the blood food, the
scavenger of the blood. It Is the very
source of vitality, the most essential
element of life. There would be no
weak nerves, no impure blond, no inside
germs if we could get Into tbe blood an
excess of oxygen. But oxygen is a gas,
and unstable. Au excess cannot b beld
la Us bloa
In the making of Liquozone we get
the virtues of 1,250 cubic inches of -the
gas into one cubic Inch of liquid. The
gas is derived in large part from tbe
best oxygen producers. The process of
making takes 14 days. Tbe result is a
wonderful product, stable and concen
trated, holding all tbe virtues of the gas.
It goes into the blood, to go wherever
the blood goes. No germ can escape It
and none can resist it. The results are
Inevitable. t
But Llqwwone is more than a germ
icide. Oxygen la Nature's greatest tonic,
and Liquozone is a vltallser with which
no other known product can compare.
It not only destroys the cause of a germ
trouble, but it quickly repairs all the
damage which the germs have done. It
gives to every organ Just the help that
it needs.
Germ Diseases
These are the known germ dlseaseo.
All that medicine can do for these trou
bles is to help Nature overcome the
germs, and such results are indirect and
uncertain. Liquozone kills the' germs,
wherever they are, and the results are
inevitable. By destroying the cause of
the trouble, it invariably ends the
disease, and forever.
