(From a Start Correspondent.)
' LINCOLN. July 14. (Special.) Governor
Mickey Issued a call this morning for a
meeting of the State Board of Equalization
at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon for the pur
pose of equalizing the assessments of t;he
various counties as returned by the county
astnssors. It Is reported here that since
the board made Its report of the railroad
assessment agents of the corporations have
gcjie over the state with u fine tooth comb
looking for .discreparcles In the returns of
the county assessors on the valuation of
lnnd and oh money In banks. It Is reported
that they have complied a monumental pile
of figures with which to confuse the bonrd
to the end that the farmers will be assessed
at figures never before heard of, the rail
roads acting under the hallucination that
they lmve been assessed too high.
But the railroads are likely to rccknn
without their host and It is not ImprobHble
that they would better "let well enough
alone" before It Is too late. Section 130.
under which the Board of Equalisation
meets, reads thus:
Section 130. The State Board of Equaliza
tion nnd Assessment shall, on the third
Monday of July of each year, meet at the
slate oapltol for the purpose of equalizing
w ressmenta. They shull proceed to exam
ine the abntructa of property assessed for
taxation In he several counties of the state.
Including railroads entirely within such
county, and all other property, and shall
equalise such assessments so ns to matte
tho same conform to law, and for that pur
pose they shull have the power to Increase
r decrease the assessed valuation of any
r unty, and such Increase or decrease shall
1)0 miiao Dy n per crauini, uuu urn vi
of increase or decrease when made shall be
Cfrtlflcd to the county clerk of the proper
county, who shall thoreupon add to or de
iuot from the assessment of each piece or
parcel of property in the county affected
An amount equal to the per cent of Increase
or decrease fixed by the state board.
The last few line of that section which
provides that when the assessment of a
county is Increased the per cent of Increase
shall be added to each piece or parcel of
property In tha oounty affected certainly
refer to the property of railroads as well
as any other property, and therefore If tho
law Is followed literally the railroads will
suffer equally with every other properly
owner where tha assessment Is raised.
In tha meantime sixty-seven counties
have made reports and these show that
the average value per acre of all the im
proved or cultivated land In them Is ,24.46,
making an assessed value of $4 89 per acre.
Last year the average assessed value of

Aurora Man Has I'nlqoe Scheme to
Satisfy the Thirsty.
YORK, Neb., July 14. (Special.) A Uni
ted States deputy revenue collector stopped,
at York to investigate If any Intoxicating
liquors iiad been sold withouV government
license and while here said that a party
at Aurora, Neb., was working a booze
room In such a manner that it was im
possible for the government to compel him
to take out a license. This Aurora party
takes orders for all kinds of Intoxicating
liquors and for the sum of 31.60 a month
rent, he stores for any individual whatever
liquor this party may buy. In the large
storage room in the rear of his business
room are cases upon cases of bottled, beer
and Jugs and bottles of whisky, and when
ever a citizen of Aurora becomes thirsty,
he goes to this storage room and drinks
or takes from his case whatever he wishes.
There Is a large Ice box in the room and
a great part of the beer Is kept on ice.
The citizens of Aurora claim to be unable
to do anything and it was upon their re
quest that the deputy revenue collector
called there. It Is said that the orders
have increased so that the manager of the
storage room will soon order beer In car
load lots, and that his rental from this
room will exceed $200 per month, with
scarcely any expense whatever.

HUMBOLDT, Neb., July 14. (Special.)
Tho special election held In this city yes
terday has left the authorities In consider

some errors in the arrangements for the
election the city would now be called upon
to sell its council room, with no provisions
for providing any structure In Its place. It
was the Intention to vote yesterday rn
a proposition to Issue 32,500 bonds for the
erection of a city hall and fire house, also
to sell the present council room and some
real estate belonging to " the city. The
proposition to sell the council room car
ried, and the authorities were at a loss to
determine what action to take when fur
ther discovery was made that the recent
revenue law makes a decided change In the
method of voting on bond propositions, and
the' attorney who drew the papers In the
case had followed the old statute Instead of
the new, rendering the entire proceedings
null and void.

BIG FIGHT AGAINST FUSION 13 NOW ON
Poaallats gay Bryan's Aanoaaeed la
teatlon to Tot far Parker Pre
vldes Go4 Groaads (or
Dlverce.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 14 (Special ) T. II. Tib
bies, candidate for vice president on the
populist ticket, has changed very little since
the great honor was thrust upon him. He
arose this morning as has been his custom
for many years. Breakfast was the first
meal of the day with him, and before 9
o' clock he had reached his office and com
menced work. Fellow employes on the In
dependent continue to speak with htm the
same as though nothing had happened, and
even the copy boy does not wear rubber
heels. The long, white hair of the ven
erable candidate is still white and still
shows the furrows plowed by his fingers as
they are pushed along for inspiration.
Just at this time Nebraska's honored
citizen is in want of a typewriter that
weighs little, and an agent who Is selling
one that weighs In the neighborhood of
seven or eight pounds can make a ready
sale by calling. Mr. Tibbies wants to carry
this machine with him on his speech mak
ing tours, for he trusts not to his "pen
writing" In fixing up copy for his papers.
"I Intend to make some speeches," he
said this afternoon, "and will visit some
of the other states during the campaign,
but of course I do not Intend to neglect
my editorial work, for I can reach at least
60.000 people through each Issue of the pa
per, wherefore I could not reach more
than a thousand with my voice in one
speech, no matter how I strain myself."
Mr. Tibbies could see very little dlfferenoe
between the platforms of the republican
snd democratic parties, though he believed
the democratic party Is more thoroughly
urider the control of the money changers
than the republican party ever dared to
be.
"As to fusion," said Mr. Tibbies, "I am
greatly afraid we will be unable to fuse In
Nebraska this year."
No Chance for Fnalon.
Democrats and populists are In all prob
ability preparing to go to pieces on the
Bryan breakers. The message of Brynn
to the faithful throughout the country In
which he took a side swipe at tho national
democratic standard bearer and at the same
time announced his intention of casting
his vote for him,, has done the business
and as a consequence nearly every pop
ulist In the state is up In arms.
"There will be no fusion now," said one
populist who stands among the head work
ers In his party, "since Mr. Bryan has
announced that he intended to vote for
Judge Parker. Hod he delivered his mes
sage without notifying the country of what
he intended to do. In regard to policy, the
populists of Nebraska would have carried
the legislature for htm and he would have
gone to the senate. As It Is every populist In
the statu that I have heard from, and I am
keeping in touch with most of them, is
mad clear through and is condemning Bry
an or. every hand. We were proud of his
fight at St. Louis and there he made him
self much stronger with the masses of the
country than he had ever been for his
brave fight for principle, but by saying
that he Intended to vete .for Parker he has
alienated the affeotlona of the populists
and I see not a shadow- of a chance for
fusion. . ,
"It might be poslbte. that fusion may be
brought about by allowing the populists
to select the - presidential electors or we
will support democratlo 'electors should
they be for Watson, but of course there
Is little hopes for that. Bryan's state
ment has thrown things clear up In the
air and democrats aa well as we populists
hardly know what to do. We absolutely
will not stand for Parker and the breach
will become so great over this, occasioned
by Bryan's intention to vote for Parker,
that In all probability we can not get to
gether In state affairs. The two conven
tions meet here August 10 and there will
be the hottest tme ever pulled off in the
state when these two conventions get down
to work."
Boom Allen for Governor,
The populist leaders here are booming
Senator Allen for governor and . will mako
a light to have him accept the nomination,
while a good many of the rank and file
still cling to the hope that Judge Holcomb
will be the nominee. The democrats aro
willing to fuse, but one of the prominent
ones remarked that the democrats could
not afford to allow a populist to have the
fusion nomination for governor .
"We must name the nominee for gov
ernor," he said, "from the democratic
party even If we have to dispense with the
needed populist vote."
A number of democrats are very much
displeased with the action of the St. Louis
convention in dealing with the Parker tel
egram and It was told by a friend of
Chairman Hall of the democratic commit
tee that he would call the convention to
order and If It showed the least symptom
of being a Parker aggregation he intended
to lay down the gavel and that would
wind up his affairs so far as this cam
paign Is concerned.
Very much visiting Is being done be
tween the democratlo and populist leaders,
however, and It may be before the double
conventions are called to order they may
be one only with two heads.
VETERANS I! CAMP AT PIERCE
Grafters Pot In an Appearance and
One of Them Done Up.
NORFOLK, Neb.. July 14. (Special.)
Northern Nebraska has had its hat off to
the old soldier during the week Just past.
Fully a half thousand of the remaining
veterans from all over this territory spent
the greater part of the week In the annual
reunion at Pierce, Neb., talking over the
times of the war, sitting around the camp
fire, visiting with each other and being
entertained by the modern grafter.
The roll call shows several missing from
the list of the veterans. Among the ac
tive veterans still In the ranks, and active
also. In every day life, were Governor
Mickey, W. U. Robertson of Norfolk, Judge
Powers of Crelghton, Mr. ' Hartley of
Crelghton, and a large number besides.
J. J. McCarthy and P. E. McKlllIp, rival
candidates for the election to congress from
the Third district, were on hand to talk.
The crowds at Pierce were in a constant
turmoil because of the presence of a large
number of the gamblers, pickpockets, thugs
and grafters who had come here to do all
they could. There were several slight rob
beries and small "touches." "Fainting
Bertha" of Omaha was on hand and worked
well.
At Hadar a farmer put an old fashioned
padlock grafter out of business and tha
padlock man went under a surgeon's care.

This section of the country for the last

CATARRHAL NERVOUSNESS
A Condition Known as Systemic Catarrk
DR. O. B. CROWE, a physician and a
very Influential man In Alabama nnd
chairman of the Populist State Committee.
In a recent letter to Dr. Hartmaun of
Columbus, Ohio, says:
Washington, D. C.
"Pernna Is n most vslnnble mpill
clne. It affords me unlimited pleas
are to testify as to the merits of your
remedy aa a catarrh rare. I have need
It aa snch and And It Is of very great
benefit when my nervoas system Is
ran down. I heartily recommend l'e
rnna to all whose nervons stems
are deranged." . B. Crowe, M. 1).
The nervous system is the source of all
our bodily powers, mental or physical.
Tho brain and spinal cord generate the
power and the nerve libres convey tha
power to every part of the body.
It la the nerves that give the heart
power to beat; it is the nerves that give
the arteries the power to contract, and
thus regulate the flow of blood through
them.
Each artery Is provided with an elastic
or muscular coat, which Is capable of con
tracting or expanding so as to permit more
or less blood to pass through, according
to the needs of the body.
When the nerves are paralyzed or weak
ened this contracture power of the blood
vessels Is wholly or partly destroyed.
This produces congestion, especially of
the mucous membrane lining the various
organs of the body.
When this congestion continues for some
time It Is known aa chronlo catarrh.
The congestion may ocour In the mucous
membrane lining of the nose, throat,
brcncbltaJ tubes, stomach, bowels, kidneys
and pelvlo organs.
Whenever It occurs It produces the same
condition chronlo catarrh.
