fusionlets that they hxvr doubtless over
looked some of the working the "Inlqul
lous" revmue It. ,a,''',
from the offlc lal record In th- office of the
auditor sre here nunt-d concerning coun

enue law. the taxes on all other property

thinking of voting- for a legislator who la
in r.nral the "Inlnultous" revenue
law.

paid taxes to the amount of $4,523.05. The
"Iniquitous" revenua law Increased the
taxes of railroad property this year to $.
477.36. On all other property In 19CJ the

Iriultous" revenue law of 1'4 the taxea on
11 other property wu reduced to $o.43.10.
In Holt county In 1903 the taxes on rail
road property amounted to 12.674.74. I'nder
the Inlqultoua" revenue law the taxes on
railroad property were Increased to 82.

1903 amounted to $20,424.12. Fnder the "In
lqultoua" revenue law which the fuslnn
Ists want repealed the tntea were reduced

In Howard county railroad property In
IMS yielded up taxes to the amount of
$2,773.96. Under the "Iniquitous" revenue
law railroad property In this county paid
tribute to the amount of $3,334.85. All other
property In 1A03 paid taxes to the amount
of $10,623.17. The "Inlqultoua" revenue law

"Iniquitous" revenue law In 1904 taxes on
all other property were reduced to $14,
011.35. Tn other words, according to trie fusion.
Ists, .an "Iniquitous" revenue law Is one
which Increases the taxes of the railroads
and lowers the taxes paid by the In
dividual. It Is reported here that the fusionlsti
of Douglas county are bombarding the
revenue law to a finish. The fuslonlsts
and their allies, the railroads, certainly
do have a kick coming over the workings
of the 'Iniquitous" revenue law In Douglas
county. The records on file In the audi
tor's office show this: The amount of taxes
paid by the railroads for state purposes
for the year 1903 was $4,549.80; the taxes
on all other property for that year for
state purposes amounted to $149,011.86. For
the present year, under the workings of
the "Iniquitous" . revenue law, railroad
taxea were Increased to $7,432.32. The same
law Increased the taxes on other property
t $166,663.66. In other words, this barbar
ous. Infamous, "Iniquitous" republican
revenue law increased the tuxes on rail
road property 63 per cent and a fraction,
and Increased the taxes on real estate and
othei property only 11', per cent In Doug
las county.
Prohibition Ills lnaaa.
At the Auditorium . tonight - Dr. "wal
liw. prohibition candidate for pre.sldTt.
and Victor Cushlng spoke to a large
nudi-iice Hml stirred up much enthusiii'iii
for the came. Dr. Swallow said In part:
Abstinence was a word almost rnnstiintlv
used hy the contending political economists
of past centuries, ami by It th"v inenn'
simply saving from earnings lv sHf-clcnl.il
In order to accumulate interest-hearing or
retit-lwnrlng capital. It found nrfvocH'es
In rrvn like Mills. Jpvnns and Rol. The
mnrrow of their voluminous dix-ussions
were and is found In the torse and homely
Kci.-ige. "Not what ii man learns or
but what he saves constitutes lus wealth.
Abstinence from Intoxicants, the use or
which -a n beverage has never helped a
human being, but has ruined millions for
time anil eternltv. would go far toward
adjusting the differences between labor and
capital.
Dr. Swallow then declared that In the
manufacture of liquor less money Is paid
j for labor thnn in the manufacture of any
other commodity. He iiuoted from the na
tional bureau of ttitlstlrs as follows:
In buvlng mi wcrth of furniture one
bovs of labor. , .
i in i"i worm oi niruwan- n.- ......
Iii 100 worth of clothing hr buys 81..42
tabor. .
In $100 worth of liquor he buys $1.23 of
labor.
Dr. Swallow urged his hearers not to be
carried away with the idea that because
the prohibition party could hot win this
year It would do Just as well to vote for
one of the other of the old parties, but to
vote the licK-ft no matter. ;whnt chance
It hod to win.
Addressing himself particularly to the or
dinary drinker. Dr. Swallow quoted a mass
of statistics on the traffic In intoxicants.
It was labor's worst enemy, he said,
dwarfing by comparison the combined evils
of strikes, lockouts and the misfortunes of
hard times nnd non-employment. Its di
rect cost In the year 1900 was $1,772,193,000,
and for every dollar of revenue the outlay
Indirectly was $16.50. In the city of Boston
for a year the revenue from the sale of
liquor was $1,000,000, but the municipality
was put to an expense of $16,000,000 in the
maintenance of police courts. Jails, hos
pitals, etc., made necessary by the con
tinuance of the drinking houses. The gov
ernment had continued the partnership
with the saloon long enough, and it was
high time for a divorce. Neither of the
leading old parties had a monopoly on
allegiance to the rum power, and both, in
that respect, he said, were equally bad.
flank Deposits Increase.

a most bountiful prosperity during the last

Ganging Flow of streams.
The hydrographle branch of the United
States Geological sirvey, which has for the
last ten years, at considerable expense, con
ducted gauging stations along several of
the principal streams of the state, and has
employed observers to make observations
of the dally discharge of these streams, has
made arrangements for this work here
after to be under the direct supervision of
the secretary of the State Board of Irri
gation, Adna Dobson. The general govern
ment will pay the lion's share of the ex
pense. Just 'at this time the office of the state
engineer Is a very Important part of the
state government. Inasmuch as the general
government has from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000

which I" now In preparation, will contain a
list of all appropriations of waters in the
state, with the statement of the amount of
each one's appropriation, the date of
priority and all other Items necessary to
show the relative rights of parties using
waters from each stream. This table will
he of grfnt value to the Irrigators them
selves and is used by the assistants In the
field In distributing the water to the
various approprlators. It will also be of
value to every one In any proposed new
work, as It will give a clear understanding;
of the situation nnd will show what rights
have already been acquired, nnd taken In
connection with the stream measurements
will show what rights a new approprlator
might expect to acquire.
The new Irrigation law requires the secre
tary of the board to make a measurement
of the amount of water flowing In the
various streams of the state. This has been
clone so fnr as possible and the report to be
Issued will rontain a list of nearly 1.000
miscellaneous stream measurements cover
ing nearly the whole state. It Is In this
work that the general government is now
co-operating with the state department of
Irrigation.

Knd of Strenuous Courtship.
After vainly wooing Mary K. Spann by
the customary practices, William Graham
several months ago stubbed the girl In the
f.ice with a knife and now she is Mrs.
Graham. The two had been keeping com
pany for -many months and Mary, so she
told the police officer after she hud been
stabbed, tried several times to make Willie
understand that he didn't stand uce high
with her. But she said Willie kept com
ing and one evening when she refused to
allow him to walk home with her he pulled
a big knife and attempted to carve her to
pieces. Mary screamed and managed to
escape with only a slight gash cut in the
side of her face. A man hunt followed by
about 100 Indignant neighbors and police
men and Willie was caught. He was
drugged off to Jail and later bound over to
the district court under a bond of $1,000
on a charge of attempting to kill. Just a
few weeks ago Willie secured his release
by giving the bond. Straightway he went
back to Mary and by some means he won
her. The two were married In Council
Bluffs and It Is reported here that both
are glad that things have turned out as
they have. It Is supposed the case against
Willie will now bo dropped.
niMORS OF A RAILROAD TR ADR
I'nlon Pacific and Bnrltngton Said to
Contemplate Exchange.
COLUMBUS. Neb.. Oct. 27.-Speclal.)-The
old story in railroad circles which Is
revived about every five years Is again
said to be on foot. It Is to the effect that
the Burlington and Union Pacific will trade
off a few miles of track, the Burlington
securing the Valley branch of the Union
Pacific from jJavhl City to Stromsburg, and
the Union Pacific acquiring tho A. and N.
branch of tho Burlington from David City
to Coli nbus. This would give the. Union
Pacific a through service from Norfolk to
Lincoln and Kansas City and would also
give the Burlington an outlet for the
northern end of the Kansas City & Omaha,
which now terminates at Stromsburg.
It has been an open secret that the
Union Pacific has contemplated building
from Stromsburg to Grand island at an
early date, and it has also been known
that the Burlington desires to head the
new line off. Should the deal as above
outlined be consummated it would give the
Union Pacific a great saving In mileage
for both freight and passenger traffic from
western points to Lincoln. St. Joseph and
Kansas City.
Railroad men here regard the rumor with
sufficient confidence that some of the
o'der men are asking for the runs al
ready, as about three or four new crews
would be put into service.

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN MR. PERRY
Charge of Arson Bronght Against
President of National Rank of Sorth
America la ot Relieved by
His Associates.
CHICAGO. Oct. 27. The purchase oMhs
National Bank of North America by the
Continental National bank, which was an
nounced late last night after a meeting of
the directors of both institutions, la ef
fective at once.
This action comes as a climax to charges
connecting the name of President Isaac N.
Perry of the National bank of North
America with the felonious burring of the
Chicago Car and Locomotive company
works at Herewisch October t.
The directors of Perry's bank had been
In session almost continuously since Mon
day considering the Insinuations against
their president, and, while they expressed
confidence in Mr. Perry's Integrity, and
were willing to accept his statement that
the charges against him had been made
by his enemies for the purpose of ruining
him, the fear the publicity given the case
might have injurious effect on the bank
Is said to have led to themegotlatloni
which ended In the merger.
The Continental National bank guarantees
all the accounts. The stockholders will
receive approximately $17 a share above the
book value. The transfer of assets will
be made today, and customers of the Na
tional Bank of North America will go to
the Continental for the transaction of their
business.
Early today, the directors of ths North
America, gave out the resignation of Presi
dent Perry, who has been charged with
arson In connection with the burning of
the Chicago Locomotive works. In which
he was Interested. In a resolution refus
ing to accept the resignation the directors
stato that the board firmly believes In Mr.
Perry's Innocence of the charges made
against him and that the success of the
bank has been largely due to his person
ality and efforts.
With tho consolidation of the Continental
and the North America, the Continental
will take rank as the second largest na
tional bank in Chicago. The combined
4epos4ts will be oveV $56,000,000. The presi
dent of the Continental is John C. Black.
Corporation Counsel Tolman of the city
law department received a communica
tion from an aftornoy representing Mr.
Terry, stating that the former banker
would appear before a Justice of the peaoe
to answer any charge that might be
brought. ,
Evidences of incendiarism in connection
with the Chicago Car and Locomotive
works' fire at Hcgewisch, leading practtc
allly up to the point when the match was
applied, Is In the hands of Corporation
Counsel Tolman. Another sensational fea
ture of the case that developed today is
the discovery that Mr. Perry has filed with
the insurance companies no claim for any
portion of the $172,000 carried on the plant.
The evidence given before Fire Attorney
Johnson und made public today contains
testimony from Frank Bock, engineer of
the Chicago Car and Locomotive works,
who also quoted a talk he said he had with
L. II. Baldwin, former president of the
company. Baldwin, according to the evi
dence, said that Perry had applied for in
creased Insurance, greatly overstating the
actual value of the plant. The engineer
testified that Baldwin had told him of this
snd repeatedly warned him to be on his

"For the present," said Mr. Rosenthal,
counsel for Mr. Perry, "we are not paying
any attention to the question of Insurance,
as the criminal issue forced upon us must
take precedence of any matters of that
kind."
Late In the afternoon Mr. Perry and a
number of his friends went to the court
room of Justice Callahan in South Chicago,
where two charges, one of arson, and one
of arson with Intent to defraud insurance
companies were made against htm. On the
first charge his bonds were fixed at $5,000
and on the second at $2,500.
Bonds were signed by his friends and the
hearing continued to November 5.

Nebraska and Chicago bankers attend
ing the eighth annual convention of the
Nebraska Bankers' as-oc-iation regard this
transaction as one of the largest bank con
solidations of late years. While the Chi
cago delegation Is unanimous In Its disbe
lief that these charges are true. It was
not at all surprised to learn that the Na
tional Bank of North America had gone
out of existence.
John McCarthy, assistant cashier of the
Continental National bink. said:
"It Is incredible to think these .charges
of arson against Mr. Perry are true.
Howevor, the fact that our bank has taken
over the National Bank of North America
will serve to restore all confidence and
make the Nebraska and other correspond
ents of that bank perfectly safe,"
F. N. Judson, cashier of the Bankers' Na
tional of Chlcaeo, said:
"It Is hardly within the possibilities that
Mr. Perry is guilty of the charges made
against him by Corporation Council Tol
man. Mr. Perry has for years stood high
In Chicago banking circles and had a very

Miss Rose Peterson, Secretary
Parkdale Tennis Club, Chicago, from ex
perience advises all young girls who ' have
pains and sickness peculiar to their sex, to use
Lydia E Pinldiam's Vegetable Compounds
How many beautiful young girls develop into worn, !istles and
hopeless women, simply because sufficient attention has not been paid
to their physical development. No woman is exempt from physical
weakness and periodic pain, and young girls just budding into woman
hood should be carefully guided physically as well a morally. n
If you know of any young lady who is sick, and needs motherly
advice, ask her to write to Sirs. IMnkham at Lynn, Mass., who will
give her advice free, from a source of knowledge which la un
equalled in the country. Do not hesitate about stating details
which one may not like to talk about, and which are essential for
c full understanding of the case.

banking fraternity la not surprised at the
absorption of the Perry bank for the reason
that the officers of the Institution had been
building up a volume of business regardless
of returns. Many of the leading depositors
were old Continental bank customers and
of course It Is natural this bank should be
the one that would take over the National
Bank of North America. It is an assurance
of safety to depositors and to all others."
. il. F. Kent, cashier of the Fort Dearborn
National bank, said:
"It had to conic sooner or Inter, this
passing of the National Punk of North
America. Thus we knew, hut there isn't
one of the Chicago delegation here who
believes the charges of arson made against
Mr. Perry, who has always stood high in
the banking fraternity, and we will be glad
to see him clear himself 'entirely of the
unfortunate affair."
