Since the team was stolen from E. C.

Treasurer Mortensen Gives Out
April Statement Showtna: Ranke

(From a Stuff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Neb., April C9. (Special.)
The If-hraska Independent when It reaches
lt. subscribers this week will be somewhat
of a surprise to its readers. The old pop
ulist who has been accustomed to swear
by his party organ will hardly know what
to make of the complimentary notices It
contains of.Grover Cleveland and the Mor
ton family. One of the Mortons Is head
ing the strike breakers In Chicago, and
this old-time populist national organ makes
It the occasion of paying a fine compli
ment to that staunch "gold bug" family.
The Independent says:
Mark Morton, who Is president of the
new Employers' Tesmlng company, Is one
of Chicago's leading business men. He Is
a son of J. Sterling Morton and a brother
of rnul Morton, secretarv of the navy.
He Is a ir ember of the firm of Joy Mor
ton A- Co., and is the head of the Na
tional Ra.lt company. He also has Interests
in many Industrials, especially shipping
and mining. He lives at I.akc Forest, and
the Morton home is one of the most beau
tiful on the north shore.
,Tts quotation from Cleveland apresrs on
the same prge. All that comes very nat
urally, as Albert Wntklns. the great ad
mirer of Cleveland and the Morton family.
Is now the chief writer under the new
management on the Independent. Joe
Johnson of the "red apple" Is the first as
sistant. But George Washlneton Berge Is
the great mogul of the Institution. His
name. In large type, appears at the bead
of the first page, nnd at the foot of the
first column In capitals. At the font of
the last column of the third page It Is
displayed in capitals again. On page 10
George W. Berge appears again In capital
letters, and then some.
Mr. Watklns, who hated free silver and
"16 to 1" with such Intensity that he boltel
the ticket and voted either for Palmer
an! Buckner or McKlr.ley, although edit
ing the national populist paper, could not
refrain from giving that ancient populist
doctrine a dig. ancKjo he copied an at
tack on It from the New Tork Herald.
which held up to scorn the "cartwheel
dollars."
A well known populist here expresses
himself on the subject as foflows:
"It Is said Berge, In the serene confi
dence that he Is Lafollette and Folk
merged Into one. paid S12.0O0 cash down
for the Independent. He expects two
year from now to sweep the republicans
off the board In Nebraska, be elected gov
ernor by the votes of the mldroad popu
lists, the democrats and the 30.000 repub
licans who voted for him last fall to beat
Mickey. When that scheme Is mentioned
to such trained and practiced politicians
as Dr. Hall and others of like standing,
both In the populist and democratic party,
they simply smile.
"Everyone agrees that the spectacle of
Albert Watklns and Joe Johnson editing
the populist national paper under the pro
prietorship of George Washington Berge
Is far more comical than Bryan support
ing a Wall street candidate for the presi
dency. It Is decidedly funny.
"The opinion of most of,- the populists
Is thnt this deal makes sure n republican
majority In the state for some-years to
come of at least 80,000. When it comes
to only two tickets In the field republican
and democratic nine populists out of
ten may be counted on to vote the straight
republican ticket."
Sentiment for Increase.
With the meeting of the State Board of
Equalization In prospect, Monday, there Is
a growing belief that there will be an In
crease In the assessment of the corpora
tions based on the actual valuation as
shown by the stocks and bonds and the
net earnings. One member of the board
today estimated that the Increase '. might
run as high as 10 per cent over the figures
of last year. ,Galusha has declared him
self In favor of a fair assessment, end
State Treasurer Mortensen and Governor
Mickey are counted on to follow the pre
cedent established last year, when they
advocated the computation of values on
the basis of the net earnings and narket
value of the roads as shown by the quo
tations for stocks and bonds and Income
statements. ,
The Impression prevails among the re
publican officials, who are disinterested
In the matter, that a total valuation of
JKO.OOO.OOO, Instead of 146,000,000, would have
been fair to the railways and the tax
payers alike. A conservative member of
the present administration stated today
that no reasonable objection could be made
to a J50.0O0.OO0 assessment.
This marked development of a ;entlment
for the Increase In the assessment Is ac
counted for by the general public awak
ening due to the agitation of the past
year, but to a large extent the credit be
longs to the attorney general whose nt
titude In favor of the use 'of the market
value of stocks and bonds and the net
earnings In the case now pending In the
federal court has done much to give the
members of the Board of Equalization
confidence In their right to proceed on that
basis.
The Union Taclflc will score the larg
est Increase, the sentiment of a majority
of the taxing body being that the Increase
of SO per cent In the market price of the
stock of that road ought to be reflected
on the assessment rolls.

Board of Education, whose absence In New
York led to a deadlock over the selection
of a principal for the new Kearney school,
may reach the city In time to take part
In the deliberations, May 5. State Superin
tendent McBrlen, since the announcement
by Ludden's family that he would not bo

ducting a search by wire In his efforts to
summon the absent member to attend. To
day he received a message stating that
Ludden's return In time for the meeting

former state superintendent. He was In

of loss from fire, or other sources. In the
meantime. The total amount Is $1,360.
Assessors Causing; Trouble,
Members of the State Board of Equaliza
tion are anticipating trouble in connection
with the amendments to the revenue law
permitting county assessors to correct real
estate' assessments. Reports from Sher
man county Indicate that an effort has
been made to reopen the real estate assess
ments made )ast year under the provision
for quadrennial valuations of such prop
erty. It Is claimed that the ss.me thing
is being done covertly In other counties.
At the office of tlv sttorney general It
was stated that the plain Intent of th
legislature was to permit nothing furthet
than the correction of clerical errors. Thu
interpretation which the assessors are
seeking to read Into the law, It Is feared,
will have the effect of demoralizing, the
new revenue system by permitting a re
auction of real property assessments be
low the market value.

We paid $100,000 for the American
rights to Llquozone; the highest ' 'e
ever paid for aimllar rights on uuy
dentine discovery. We dJd this after
testing the product for two year,
through physicians and hospitals, In thla
country and' others. We cured all kinds
of germ dl sew sea with It thousand of
the most difficult cases obtainable. We
proved that In germ troubles It always
accomplishes what medicine cannot do.
Now we ask you to try It try It at our
expense. Test It as we did; see what It
does. Then you will use it always, as
we do, and aa million of others do. You
will use It, not only to get well, but to

Kills Inside Germs
4
I.iouoione la not made by compound
ing drugs, nor Is there alchobol In It.
Its virtues are derived solely from gas
largely oxygen gHs by a process re
quiring Immense apparatus and 14 days'
time. ; The procese has, for more than
20 years, been the constant subject of
scientific and chemical research.
The result la a liquid that does what
oxygen does. It is a nerve food and
blood food the most holpful thing In
the world to you. Ita elTecta are exhil
arating, vitalising, purifying. Yet It Is
a germicide so certain that we publish
on every bottle aa offer of 11,000 for a
disease germ that It cannot kill. The
reason la that germs are vegetables;
and Llquozone like an excees of oxygen
is deadly to vegetal matter.
There lies the great value of Llquo
ftone. It la the only known way at o kill
genua In the body without killing the
tissues, too. Any drug that kills germs
Is a poison, and It cannot be taken In
ternally. Medicine Is almost helpless
lu any germ disease. It is this fact that
gives Llquozone Its worth to humanity.
And that worth Is so great that we have
spent over one million dollars to supply
the first bottle free to each sick one we
learned of.
Germ Diseases
Ttfese are the known germ diseases.
All that medicine can do for these
troubles Is to help Nature overcome
the germs, and euch results are Indirect
and uncertain. Llquozone attacks the
germa, wherever they are. And when
the genua which cause a disease are
destroyed, the disease must end, and
forever. That la inevitable.
