Cure a Cold Before It Develops Into
sY-iarrh.
At the Beginning of a Cold Is the Time
to Take Pe-ru-na.
Mrs. C. Morrison, 10C0 S. New Jersey St., Indianapolis, Ind., writes:
"Some months a go, I contracted a severe cold returnir
from the theater. This cold settled in my head an devel
oped into catarrh of th head and nose, and I know of
nothing more obnoxious. Every morning when I aroe my
head was all stopped up, throat dry and parched, aad I
would have to spray for half an hour before I couli cle it
the head. I noticed that Peruna was advertised as a cer
,ialn cure .for, catarrh, so I tried what it would dp for mef
and found after four weeks1 use that it had cleared my head
and throat leaving no trace of catarrh. 2 thirefon: wish
ioadd my testimony to the many you have as to th: effi
cacy of Peruna." -Mrs. C Morrison.
Spring Is the best time to treat catarrh. Nature renews herself every spring. The
system Is rejuvenated by spring weather. This renders medicines more effective. A
short course of Peruna, assisted by the balmy air of spring, will cure old, stubborn
cases of eatarrh that have resisted treatment for years. Everybody should have
a copy of Dr. Hartman's latest bo6k on catarrh.
With healthy mucous membranes climatic diseases lose their terror, the system
Is enabled to throw off contagion and health Inevitably follows.

TAX AGENTS ON THE SCENE
BapmentatiTss of Two E01J3 o'a'Eand to
Auiit Board of Equalisation-
MEMBERS KEEP DOORS TIGHTLY CLOSED
Xtepabllcaa. State Coasaslttee Called to
aleet at UncvU Weaaesday of
Keat Week to Select a
Chatrmaa.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, My .-Bpeolal.) The State
Board of Equalisation evidently Is seeking
more light on the subject of railroad as
sessment, 4s Mr. Pollard of the Burling
ton and Mr. Bcrlbner of the Union Pacltlo
were at the state house this afternoon.
Neither, however, made a formal address
to the board, but whether they said any
thing informally Is another matter. Inas
much as the board members this morning
received through the mall some facts con
cerning the value of railroad property, that
gives Information different from the re
turns made by the roads, the Inference la,
and as the board is holding executive ses
sions only Inferences can be drawn, that
the two tax agents were notified to come to
Lincoln.
Secretary Bennett, who stepped out of
the board room for a moment to secure a
telegraph blank, when uskod what the
board was doing, eaid:
"We are doing tho best we can."
The board did today just what It did
yesterday except that It had the Rook
Island road under consideration Instead of
the Omaha, but Just how much of the
tangible property It got figured up today
Is not known outside of the executive
chamber. It cannot be predicted with any
degree, of accuracy Just now when the
board will hand down the figures for the
reason thst If It keeps up Its work of find
ing the value of th tangible property
(already found by the secretary), as It
started out to do the day before the con
vention, It will be an all-month's job. But
the board likely will tire of that work and
In the snl will make a guess or come
around to Mr, Mortenaen'a proposition. It

would not surprise anyone conversant with
the ways of the board If It reported within
a few days or It It waited a month. The
majority changed Its minds on tht method
of valuation and It may change back any
minute. Last year an! the year before
and before that and so far as anyone knows
always In the past It has been customary
for tho board to report Its finding for each
road In a lump, that is the rolling etock
and everything else, including the fran
chise, le valued at so much. This idea Is
considered wrong now by the majority,
whioh wants the franchise assessed so
much, the roadbed so much and on down
the line, with each Item recorded. But
the majority is subject to change of mind.
Repabllcan Committee Call.
Chairman Lindsay of the republican state
committee has sent out a letter requesting
members of the committee. Congressman
Euikett and the candidates nominated for
stato offices by ths late republican state
convention to meet at the headquarters In
Lincoln at o'clock Wednesday evening.
The purpose of the meeting Is to reorganise
the state committee by the election of a
chairman, secretary and treasurer and to
transact general business. It la not Im
probable that at this meeting the question
of locating tho state headquarters for ths
coming campaign will be discussed. It has
beon customary In presidential years to
remove the headquarters, to Omaha, but
this year there Is considerable sentiment
to keep the headquarters In Lincoln at the
present location In the Lindell hotel. Not
enough of the members ef the committee
have been aounded on the matter, however,
to show the sentiment of the committee.
The chairman of the committee will be
selected by the nominees for state officers
acting In conjunction and with the ap
proval of the oommittee.
At this tlms sentiment has not crystal
lised In favor of any one man for chair
man. There are several candidates and
each of them recognises that it is going to
take a vlgoroue campaign managed by an
expert, for republican success all down the
liuj this year. For that reason the nomi
nees are slow about announcing tholr pref.
erenee, though there seems to be no feeling
sgalnst any one of the aspirants so far
mentioned. A large number of delegates
to the state convention who expressed
themselves seemed to favor Mr. Lindsay
retaining his place if he could so arrange
his work in the office of the supreme court
clerk to take the time to attend to It
Lindsay has the political situation well In
hand and many of the atate convention
delegates believe he should continue. Should
Lindsay not take the place, then old poll
ticiana down here at least look with favor
on 3. O. F. McKesson, who not only has a
wide atate acquaintance, but who has a
reputation as an organiser and a leader of
much force.
Meyer Falls te Aaaeor.
A young man named Meyer, a member
of the Douglas delegation to the state
convention who was so anxious for Deputy
Land Commissioner Eaton to pay him some
money thst Laton said he didn't owe,' and
that wltnes.t-s to the . transaction snld
thai alou didn't Uit hit Uouftht
suit against Eaton the day before the state
convention, failed to show up today when
the suit was to have been heard, but In
stead had a Lincoln attorney on hand who
asked for and was grantel a continuance
for thirty days. Mr. Eaton asked that
your.g Meyer be compelled to put up a
bond for the costs In tie case and It Is
not yet known whether Meyer will put up
this or let the case go, inasmuch as he
has already gotten even with Eaton by
voting the entire Douglas delegation for
Pickett for land commissioner.
Mot te Bo Fooled Losger.
Mrs. Endres, who' Is the mother of four
children, placed her confidence and money
In one William, H. Wilson, and Wilson
proved untrue to the trust. As a result
he has been bound over to the district court
and Mrs. Endres Is the complaining witness
In the case. According to the Woman's
story, she and Wilson became engaged
through corresponding while she was living
In Iowa. Wilson, she said, wrote her to
come to Lincoln and the two would marry.
She came, bringing with her the four chil
dren.' She met Wilson, who In the mean
time had rented a house, gave him the
money with which to furnish It and then
wanted to get married. Wilson wanted to
wait. He kept on watting, so the woman
said, while she furnished him with money
upon which to live, and the neighbors
began to talk. Finally she got tired of her
bargain and brought Wilson to a show
down. Wilson told her he would quietly
fold up his tent and pull out ot town, and
really did start, so she said, when she
brought to her aid the strong arm of the
law, which gathered him in.
One Year for Burglary.
Fred E. Stewart, the colored burglar,
arrested several days ago, after committing
half a dosen burglaries, pleaded guilty In
the district court this morning and was
sentenced to one year In the penitentiary.
Stewart shed a coploua lot of tears and
told the judge the reason be was a burglar
was because he let strong drink get ths
upper hand of him. According to ths police,
his work was as smooth as was ever pulled
off In Lincoln.

Flajnt Ovor Billiard Hall.
HUMBOLDT, Neb., May . (Special.)
Ths license question having been settled
for several months to come, and ths tele
phone contioversy having "downed" for
a brief Interval, the belligerent ones ot
Humboldt are now deep Into' a scrap over
a proposition to operate a billiard hall
within the oonflnes of the city. Al Bliaffer
has asked ths privilege and was refused by
Mayor Hackett on moral grounds. The
former at once went Into the district co.urt
and asked for a mandamus to compel the
official to Issue the license upon the pay
ment of the fee prescribed In the ordinance,
claiming that the mayor and council had no
dlsoretlon In the matter, and should be
compelled to grant the permit when the
applicant complied with the requirements
of the local law. Judge Kelllgar notified
the mayor to show cause by Saturday,
May a, why the writ should not be Issued.
Some advocated the Immediate repeal of
the ordlnanoe providing for a license, but
the more careful ones saw at onoe that a
hall could then be started and maintained
without the payment of any license fee
at all, and the plan was at once abandoned
as Impracticable. The city council at an
adjourned meeting last evening decided to
stand behind the mayor In tbe case and
resist the Issuance of the writ.
