EQUITY JUDGES UP WITH THEIR DOCKETS likelihood of One More Court Betas: Assigned to Law work la Order to Relieve Pres eat Congestion. It la not unlikely that with the begli zdng of UU6, there will be n, fifth law judge, and Jury room In the district court of Douglas county. At present there are four Jury Judge and . from one cause an-1 another the dockets In all four courts :ir- quite heavily encumbered with cases thai tiave been dragging along for from a (e months to several yeara. The tin re equity Judges are practically up with their work, so far as people who want a trial are con cerned. There has been some talk among the Judges themselves relative to the need for a remedy to obviate the law's delay in the Jury courts. It Is not the fault of any one, apparently, that the law dockets are so far behind. Take the cases against the street railway company, as an Instance. The Institution of such suits Is becoming more fashionable as the years go by. Judsing by the number on the dockets of the dif ferent courts. As a rule these cases con sume a good deal of time when they get Started. The company's attorneys, stand ing high In their profession, are naturally very busy men. A case will be called for trial and either Mr. Webster or Mr. Conn. 11 la engaged In some other court. One hus been handling the witness end of the case and the other looking up the law and the facts. As both cannot be present, the case goes over. In other instances the plain tiff's attorney Is busy, when the case is called, or the witnesses are not available, and another postponement Is taken. So the litigation drags, and many cases are hung up at present The same thing Is true .of personal Injury and other actions against private corpora tions. Their attorneys are also attorneys for many other clients, and postponements and continuances are numerous every week In the year. Present Term Kotahly Slow. The present term has been notably slow In getting causes to trial, although the Judges have been at hand every day and ready to go ahead. A few causes have been stricken from the dockets in the last two terms of court, especially on the equity side, but the number remaining on the law dockets is still very large, and this fact gives rise to the discussion of an in crease of at least one judge on that side. Talking of the matter Incidental to a general review of court work on Friday, Judge Sutton said: "It seems very prob able that with the opening of the fall term, or at least by the first of the year, some thing will have to be done to relieve the congestion of the law dockets. There is little doubt that we shall have to add one judge to that branch of the court. The equity Judges are well up with their work and only exceptional circumstances can prevent a litigant getting a prompt hear ing of his cause. Bo many different rea sons arise for postponement in the law di visions of the court that It Is not at all strange if the dockets have become some what encumbered. The addition of a fifth Judge to that end wtTt most likely be tho solution of the difficulty." A merry passenger rate war Is in sight for the railroads which run or have con nection between Nebraska and Milwaukee. The occasion of this rate war is the, an nouncement by the Milwaukee road that It has been made the official route for the Woodmen of Nebraska when they go to Milwaukee in June to the national encamp ment. It Is understood the rate agretd upon between th railroad committee of the Woodmen and the Milwaukee road is $10 for the round trip from Omaha. Oilier roads say this rate will not get the busi ness. In spite of the agreement with the committee of the Woodmen. For the last national encampment at In dianapolis the roads made a rate of $8 for the round trip and had to divide the bus! ness with another road from Chicago to Indianapolis. This year, the encampment being at Milwaukee, there are several lines which have roads of their own from Omaha to Milwaukee, and It is said that they do not Intend to let the business go without a fight. It Is announced that one road already has declared Its intention of making a rale of 8 and there are rumors afloat that a possible rate of K may be made for the business. Hill Dral I neonflrmed. No local confirmation can be obtained of the reported turchase of the Chicago Gret Western railroad by the Hill interests. The report of the consolidation of the Kansas City Southern and the Great Western also Is persistently circulated and the report of the consolidation is promised to follow Immediately after the annual meeting of the Kansas City Southern' road. The press reports state that the Iutch interest. gained control of the Kansas City road at the meeting in New York Thursday. This Is looked upon as a victory for the Hill In terests over those controlled by Harriman. It is very well known that Mr. Hill has long coveted a gulf outlet for his system. He has a double motive in this. He wants to control the wheat crops of Washington and the Dakota, bring them to Minne apolis over his Great Northern and North ern I'aclnc lines, have them milled there and then shipped In the form of flour to the markets of Europe by the gulf route. St. Faul Is fifty-six miles nearer New Or leans than New York, and the distance In favor of Port Arthur Is still more pro nounced, so that the marketing of north western wheat through gulf ports can be done much more cheaply than by the old established routes to the Atlantic seaboard. The realisation of this Is the first Inspir ing motive Mr. Hill has in view In the acquisition of this new property. The sec ond Is that he wants to obtain a big slice of the cotton trade of the southern and southwestern states for the development of his lines of traffic to oriental markets. Other reasons are said to have moved Mr. Hill to possess himself of the Chicago Great Western system besides the minor one that he wants to see it removed from the situation as a rate disturber. The first of these is that it will afford him the short line between St. Faul and Omaha and Kan sas City. At the latter point It will form a natural connection with the Kansas City Southern. Telegrams from New York state that the board of directors and the executive com mittee of the Kansas City Southern rail way met there Thursday and arranged preliminaries for the annual meeting of stockholders at Kansas City next week. At the conclusion of the meeting the state ment was made by Hermann Sielcken, chief representative of the Holland Inter est, that there would be no Contest at the annual meeting. It was later learned that property will be transferred to the Holland Interest at the Kansas City meeting. John W. Gates said Thursday that he had no interest In the reported transfer of the Kansas City Southern railway from the Harriman to the Holland Interests. Mr, Gates added that he was today but slightly Interested in the property and had not been a factor In its affairs for several years. LATE TAXES MUST BE PAID Condition oa Which Crrtllrates leased at fcinir Sale Are Made alld. THE STATESMAN AND THE WORKMAN BOTH ARE VICTIMS OF CATARRH. 9 City Treasurer Hennings snys it should be understood by rurchasf-rs of tax cer tificates at the scavenger law sales that .delinquent taxes for 1!4 and subsequent taxes must be paid to validate the cer tificates. Real estate men and brokers un derstand this, but individuals who have made one or two Investments for the pur pose of getting additional land around their homes nnd the like do not. cm this and other subjects the treasurer has lssuud the following statement: Under our new revt-nue law the citv treasurer is charged with all personal taxes levied as soon as the tax list is delivered to him, and his bondsmen are llahle for the amount of taxes, unless the same are collected. The law makes it the duty of the city treasurer to serve distress war rants as soon as the taxes are delinquent In every Instance and at the time when the treasurer turns over the office to his suc cessor the delinquent tax list must have been cleaned up. He has to turn over the money for taxes, distress warrants served, with a notation why taxes were not col lected, or in cases where people are poor and unnble to pay, an affidavit to this effect. The Jaw is very strict, but the city treasurer is compelled to enforce the same. Now Is a good lime for the taxpayers to come to the treasurers office and settle, as they will avoid the rush and be waited upon promptly. Many who nave bought at the scavenger tax sale are coming in and are paying the subsequent city, that 1, the 114 tlxes. on their certificates, but It seems that a good many do not understand that they only purchased regular and special taxes In cluding the year lf"3, and that nil taxes which have become due and delinquent. regular and special, f-ince May 1, lli.iS, must be paid by the holder of the tax certificate.

BADGER at BITS I The Power of Pe-ru-na In Combatting This Disease the Admiration of the World. r Mr. John B. Blackwood, a prominent tone mason of Alexander, N.C., writes: was a great tuffertr from oerroua tndlrettion, catarrh, heart trouble. mnd other ailments, for a number of years. '1 tried everything In the medicine without much relief. "A friend told me to try a bottle of Ferunti. I bepan the use of It at once and continued until I had taken one bottle, when I felt like a new man took fwo more bottles and am to day a well man. "I ara a stone mason and hare trav eled extensively orer the country, and have caused the sale of many bottles of reruns to my fellow-workmen. "My wife also takes Peruna and thinks it Is the best medicine.' CASE THROWN OUT OF COURT Shinier and Chase Dismissed, Since Ordinance Violated Is Wiped Off Books. The case against C. C. Shimer and Arthur cnase. contractors, wno were Brought up In police court on a charge of violating the city ordinance by placing a boiler under the stage of the new Kohrbaugh Commer cial college, has been dismissed from the police court docket for the reason that the ordinance which it was claimed was vio lated by the contractors has been repealed by the city council. This was the case which was brought against the contractors on a complaint sworn out by Building Inspector Withnell, who granted the permit to build, but later rescinded It for the reason that the con tractors were not constructing their work at the Commercial college according to the plans of the building permit. The boiler was being placed directly under the stage of the Commercial college, which Is now in course of construction at Nineteenth and Farnam streets, and this, it was claimed by the building Inspector, was In an un safe place, and furthermore it was being done In .violation of the ordinance. The building was stopped a week ago. The case was set for hearing In police court Friday morning, but the repealing of the ordi nance by the city council put a stop to the hearing. i Si - - " JOHN B tonrxwrZZf- ' Ijattgaajs f...ai... ' l . 5trong Men of All Classes Fall Easy Victims to Catarrh. The explanation is that in their strength they regard a cold or Blight Indisposition as insignificant. They let It go, pay no attention to It. AVhen they sneeie, cough or spit, they pay no attention to It. When a remedy Is suggested, they shrug their shoulders or make a contemptuous remark. At last the cold fastens Itself upon some mucous membrane. it may be In the nose, throat, lungs, or some organ of the body. It soon develops Into chronic catarrh. One bottle of Peruna would have readily cured It while It was yet a cold. If It becomes chronic catarrh, It some times requires several bottles of Peruna to effect a cure. But, wheather a cold or chronic catarrh, Peruna Is the remedy the world over. PAYS DOGS TO HAVE NO TAILS Eight Canines Escape Sadden Death Beeanse Xatnre Had Sllsrhted Them.

This will be in good condition for eastern tourists who wish to go to Portland via the Burlington and Northern Pacific and return via the Southern Pa cific and t'nlon Pacific. A carload of scenery belonging to the Nance O'Neill company passed through the city Friday morning on the I'nion Pa cific enrouie from Boston to Australia. The company, which includes McKee Kankln, will follow Saturday. John li.

Windows that are a part of a Japanese puzzle have been placed li the new private office of Chief Clerk Murray of the passen ger uepartment of the I'nion Pacific. The puzzle Is to find out whether these win dows were lnttnded to keep Mr. Murray from looking at the clerks in his office or to keep the clerks from seeing him. They are a success either way, although they were evidently intended to be transparent. Vice President J. N. Hill of the Great Northern, son of James J. Hill, changed his plans and did not visit Fremont as he had intended. Mr. Hill had contemplated making a trip over the new proposed Ash land cutoff from Sioux Cit to Ashland, either by carriage or automobile, but the d.imp weather caused a delay In the trip. Fremont had plauned to give him an ap propriate reception. It is undernood the building of this line will be under the per sonal supervision of Mr. Hill. The bitterest kind of disappointment pre vailed at the city dog pound Thursday. Someone telephoned in that the mother of seven puppies had been lost, strayed or stolen, leaving the little doggies helpless. it was oesirea to nave the youngsters taken to the pound and mercifully asphyx lat?d. The dog catchers went after the pups, when to their disgust and amaze ment they found them tailless. That is all except one. The others were freaks and their freakis"hness meant loss of money to the poundmaster and his assistants, for they are paid for every dog killed, $1 per tail. There being no tails nothing could be collected from the freaks. Therefore disappointment ensued. To brighten things up a little the mother dog put in an appearance and claimed her family. It was the first time on record when the dog catcheis were glad to let their prey escape. Col Henry Loomis, Wlnfleld, Kas , IJeut of Co. C, 64 Vol. Infty., IJeut. Cot et 154th N. T.

R., was a member of the first board of trade established In his city and has filled several positions of honor and trust In his community. Regarding the famous catarrh remedy, Peruna, Col. Loomis writes: "1 have been a sufferer from nasal c atarrh for several years. "I have been treated by physicians and used various remedies, with no favor able results. I was advised to try reruns, and after taking; three bottles, I was roropletelr eared of my ailment. "From my own experience with this medicine, I can recommend Peruna as an efficient catarrh remedy to anyone similarly afflicted. " Pe-ru-na Contains No Narcotics One reason why Peruna has found per manent use In so many homes is that It contains no narcotics of any kind. Peruna Is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not produce temporary re sults. It Is permanent rn its effect It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by re moving the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years. PAIR FOUND UNCONSCIOUS Kotorloas Character and Consort Dis covered In Woman's Room Over come Attempted Salclde Denied. Nellie Wright of 114 North Ninth street and Sam Goldsmith were found in an un conscious condition In a room at the Wright woman's house a little after 6 o'clock Friday morning. It was at nrst thought It was a case of attempted suicide, but the attending physician who was called said it was a positive case of ptomaine poisoning. The reason the suicide theory was advanced was because the officers in the vicinity of tho place had noticed gas escaping from the place and upon investi gation It was found that the Jets in the room occupied by the Wright woman and Goldsmith were turned on full force Another reason given for the suicide the ory Is the fact that the woman has made various attempts to take her own life, and It is thought by the police officers who know her reputstion that she had turned on the gas with the Intention of taking her own life and that of her lover also. This, however, Is strongly denied by the woman, who says that her condition was due to something which she had eaten the night before and had caused tha poisoning.

PLANS TO FIX COURT HOUSE Kennard Says He Has Schema to Modernise It Soon to Sabmlu Chairman Ktnnard and the other mem bers of the Board of County Commissioners are having many on Informal conference these days touching the question of how to remodel or add to the court house.
