LINCOLN, July tl.-(Special.) This after
tioon durlns; the hearing before the State
Board of Equalisation and Assessment on
the complaint of under assessment of
Douglas county merchandise. Judge Tlb
betts, representing the Lincoln merchants,
ofTered to atop If County Assessor Keed
would agree to a 26 per cent Increase. He
asserted that otherwise he would Introduce
evidence which would lustify an Increase of
50 per cent In the merchandise. Later John
E. Miller, president of the Lincoln Commer
cial club, asserted that the Increase would
be 100 per cent. Reed did not accept the
proffer, but when Governor Mickey asked
lilm what the merchants would do If an In
crease of 25 per cent was made he Indicated
that he thought It was too high, because of
the small merchants who would be hurt.
"It may hurt the smaller fellows," said
the governor, "but It will force them to see
that the law Is complied with next year and
they will bring pressure to bear on the
county board to that end."
Governor Mickey suggested that It would
le aa well to have the evidence In the rec
ord and members of the board Intimated a
desire to subpoena the Omaha merchants.
The charge, to which It was admitted
there waa truth, was that the large mer
chants In some Instances had formed the
habit of making out statements of low
vlue under the old city assessment sys
tern. When the deputies came around they
were Importuned to keep the assessment
down on account of the city tax, he said.
"Thty got In the habit of returning It at
smaller figure than the true value," said
Iteed.
"Did they learn It from the railways?"
queried the governor.
Mr. Reed, under examination by Judge
Tlbbetts, stated that he had only in a few
Instances seen the Invoices of merchants
when mnklng assessments. He said that
they would often bring papers to him, but
it waa difficult to tell what waa invoice and
what was not. He said that sometimes he
had not consulted the insurance policies
and admitted that various data had been
withheld. In several Instances, he declared.
he had sought the policies and had been
unable to get them.
He was asked as to the amount of money
listed by various firms. Judge Tlbbetts de
claring that the sum was entirely too small
In many Instances.
Assessors Cannot Agree,
In response to a question by Governor
Mickey Reed denied that he had stated last
year that he had been unable to get at the
merchandise values because he was busy
With real estate. He denied also that there
was any arrangement whereby the asses
ors were to list such property at less than
Its actual value. He said that he had noth
ing to conceal.
County Assessor Miller of Lancaster
tounty, who was first placed on the wit
hess stand for the Lincoln merchants.
Itated that he had sought to get the true
ralue in every instance, using invoices,
Insurance policies and other data as the
basis for the assessment. He stated, how
tver, that he had advised the complainant.

tw.iwo cut from his original figures of

ever, that the reductions were made be
cause of positive evidence showing that
the assessments had been too high. He
repeated the statement that Reed had told
him that the big merchants at Omaha
could not be assessed too high, or they
would have to move across the river. He
said that the touglas county assessor told
him this year that he thought the assess
ment was about ait some of the firms could
stand.
What Tlbbetts Willed to how.
Tlbbetts stated shortly before the close
of the hearing this afternoon that he In
tended to call experts In the various lines
who could testify as to the value of the
various houses at Omaha. He had figures
showing the stocks over $10,ff In value. He
called J. II. Harpham, a Lincoln harness
Jobber, who testified that Marks Bros, of
Omaha, assessed at $40,000, were only half
high enough, and that J. H. Haney, as
sessed at $30,000, was also only 60 per cent
of the true value.
Gage County Cleric Objects.
County Clerk J. R. Plasters of Gage
county, who was In the city today, was dls
posed to complain of the action of the
State Board of Equalization in making a 10
per cent Increase In the average assessment
of sewing machines In the country. They
were assessed at an average of 12 and the
result of the increase will be to necessitate
the addition of 20 cents to the assessed
valuation of a machine worth $10, and
varying sums for machines worth other
prices. This Plasters claims is a mistake
since assessing officials have never been re
quired to consider cents. He asserts that.
heretofore. It has been customary to place
the assessments in round numbers for con
venlence In figuring. He does not contem
plate any appeal to the board. He ex
pressed his anxiety to have the work of
the state board completed so that the work
of extending the assessments may be taken
up In the counties. The board promised to
take the matter under advisement.
The chairman of the county board of Red
Willow county was tn the city today to pro
test against the Increase on horses ordered
by the board, making the average assess
ment of equlnes about 111. W hen he was
shown the average of fU In the agricul
tural counties he withdrew his protest.
Appropriation May Not Lapse.
Deputy Auditor Cook said today that he
believed payments would be made on ex
isting contracts from appropriations made
by the legislature of 1903, even after August
81, when the appropriation would ordinarily
lapse. He said that he believed it to be
the intent of the law that such bona fide
contracts are binding, notwithstanding the
provision as to lapses.
Some of the state officers are talking of
asking the secretary of the State Printing
board to act as official lndexer for the va
nous departments In order that the re
ports issued may be properly indexed for
reference use. It Is claimed that Becretary
Frazler would have ample time to do the
work In addition to his duties in connection
with the letting of contracts.
Praise for Snperlntendent.
The State Board of Public Lands and
Buildings, which has returned from a .trip
of Inspection to the Hastings aslyum, Is
unanimous in Its praise of Superintendent
Kern who has charge of the institution
with Its 1,000 Inmates. The members of the
board say that it seems like a small city.

Attorney General Norrls Brown stated
today that it would be several days before
he can render an opinion aa to the validity
of water works bonds issued under the
existing statue. The question as to the
validity of the act was raised by R. E,
Moore, a Lincoln Investor.
Preparing; for Camp.
Adjutant General Culver will establish
brigade headquarters at Kearney, Thurs
day or Friday, so as to have everything in
readiness for the national guard encamp
ment, which Is to begin next week. A
detachment from the signal corps, acting
as engineers, will lay out the camp. Ar
rangements have been made to sink fifteen
driven wells to sheet water, in order to
Insure a pure water supply. The sand
is cdunted on to act as a filter bed. Under
the general direction of the medical corps
the sanitation of the camp will be attended
to with the utmost care.
Colonel C. J Bills, the Inspector general
of the guard, will be placed under service
orders. He will inspect the site of the
camp before the troops are moved out, and
during the progress of the encampment
will inspect the camp twice daily, report
lug derelictions from the rules to the com
manding officer of the regiment concerned.
Arrangements have been made for the
installation of a telephone system In the
camp, connecting the various organizations.
The brigade headquarters will be at a con
siderable distance from the regimental
headquarters, since there ) plenty of land
to permit of this arrangement.
Mnat Have Twenty Days Notice.
The bond clerk In tho office of the auditor
has found It necessary to return a consider
able number of bonds to the school districts
and other subdivisions issuing them because
of the fact that the election was not held
after the twenty days' notice required by
the statute, as Interpreted by Deputy At
torney General Thompson. According to
that official, the twenty days must be com
puted without including that set apart for
the election or that on which notice was
given. This opinion is based on a decision
rendered by the supreme court. It Is
stated that the bonds received indicate
that much misapprehension exists as to
the requirements of the statute. The do
partment has not been advised whether
any bonds will be Invalidated on that ac
count.
An estimate by Bond Clerk Lawrence
indicates that the total registration of
public bonds of all kinds has been more
than Jl,OM,uu0 since December 1, 1904, as
compared with 11.122.774 for the entire bl
enniuin preceding. It is stated that the
big Increase is In the bonds of cities and
villages.
Merchandise Rqanllsatlon May Fall.
Secretary of State Galusha, who has
been the leading spirit In the movement
to equalize the assessment of merchandise
throughout tne counties, gave the idea a
setback today with the announcement that
because of lack of time it will be lmpos.-le
to secure the mercantile ratings which were
relied on as evidence. He indicated that
there is little prospect on that account of
any equalisation on merchandise assess
ments, saying that it would not be good
policy for the board to attempt the work
without having some authentic data in
Its possession.

According to the story told by Pearl Vlrlch,
a girl of 17, residing at Lead, 8. D., an at
tempt was made by a woman whom she
knew as Mrs. Kemp to kidnap her and en
tice her Into a house of Ill-fame in this city.
The girl, who is good looking, but appar
ently not well versed In the ways of the
world, says that she has been working In a
hotel at Lead. She had only been there a
few days when a woman calling herself
Mrs. Kemp, a rather sharp, smooth, middle-
aged woman, came there and offered her
much larger wages If she would come to
Fremont and work for her In a hotel she
claimed to be running here. On their ar
rival here Mrs. Kemp attempted to compel
her to become an Inmate of a house of In
fanta. She refused emphatically to accom
pany the woman, though promises, threats
snd every means outside of actual force
were used. Becoming alarmed the Kemp
woman lert for parts unknown, leaving tne
girl In a strange lodging house without
friends and penniless. This morning she
told her story to Chief of Police Dougherty
and he at once wired her relatives at Lead
of the situation. The house Mrs. Kemp
tried to have the girl enter Is a tough dive

WOMAN IN CLU8 AND CHARITY
The Women's League of New Orleans Is
taking an sctlve part in the effort to pre
vent further spread of the dread yellow
fever. The president of the league has Is
sued a circular to members urging them to
co-operate with the Board of Health in ob
serving every precaution advised. "Exter
minate the Mosquito" Is the watchword and
in this task the women will put Into prac
tice the precautions and methods that have
been a part of the instruction In the home
and education depurtment of the league.
Nor Is this the first time that the women of
New Orleans have had an active part In
sanitary precautions for that city. To them
belongs a largfe part of the credit for the
abolishing of the old above ground and the
laying of the present sewer system of New
Orleans.
It should be gratifying to the people of
Nebraska that in the widespread comment
that has grown out of Mrs. Sarah Platt
Decker's advocacy of a special home-making
course for women in colleges before a
recent session of the American Institute of
Instruction at Portland, Me., the University
of Nebraska In being held up as an Institu
tion which Is already equipped in this re
spect. Miss Florence Kelly, secretary of the Na
tional Consumers' league, took advantage of
her recent visit to Portland, Ore., where
she was elected vice president of the Amer
ican Woman Suffrage association, to estab
lish a branch Consumers' league In that
city. Miss Kelly and Miss Kate Gordon of
New Orleans were also delegates to the Na
tlnnat Conference of Charities and Correc
tlon, which also, met at Portland, and dur
ing her stay there availed herself of fre
quent opportunities to present the work of
the league before a number of Influential
organizations of the city and state.
It Is said that the women of Galllela have
united In a league for the purpose of bring
ing the barbarous custom of dueling Jtito
disrepute. The league has for some of Its
prime movers some of the most aristocratic
women of the country and they propose to
frown upon duelists Just aa they do upon
other disreputable offenders.
The erection of women's clubhouses and
women's buildings all over the country
should afford fine opportunity to women
architects, designers and furnishers in all
the various branches. Surely a woman
should know more of the necessities of
woman's building than a man. It was upon
this theory at least that the women of
Lynn, Mass., went, and a woman. Miss
Josephine Wright, has designed their new
clubhouse and will supervise its erection. It
was Miss Wright who planned the Massa
chusetts building at the Pan-American ex
position and also built Cralgle hall at Cam
bridge.
A monument to Ann Story, a prominent
pioneer woman or Vermont, has recently
been unveiled by the Colonial Dames of
that state. The monument stands about
two miles from the village of Salisbury and
It bears the following inscription: "On this
spot stood the home of Ann Story. In
grateful memory of her services In the
struggle of the Green Mountain Boys for
the independence of Vermont. Erected by
the Vermont Society of Colonial Dames.

SUIT TO OUST OCCUPANTS
InJnnetlon Proceedings Began
Against White Men on Indian
Lands In Richardson County.
Injunction proceedings were started in
the federal court Monday afternoon against
John H. Lynds, William Grimes and James
Van Low, whom United States District
Attorney Baxter alleges are Illegally occu
pylng lands belonging to the government
and occupied by members of the Iowa tribe
of Indians down In Richardson county, and
endeavoring to lease lands held by the
Indians, contrary to law.
The application for an injunction cites
the law enacted by congress, which per
mlts the Indians to occupy the lands In
controversy, but which land Is still owned
by the government The petition sets out
that the defendants have notoriously tried
to get the Indians to lease these lands
and in several Instances had succeeded In
getting possession; that they have paid
little or nothing to the Indians for the
land; that this practice had resulted in
retarding progress by the Indians, made
them dissatisfied with the Indian commis
sioners and demoralized them generally.

blackberries, 79 per cent; fruits that have
been gathered or are being gathered: Cher
ries, BO per cent; red raspberries, 77 per
cent; black raspberries, 81 per cent; straw
berries, 85 per cent.
Mr. L. A. Goodman, secretary of the Mis
souri society. In touching on the apple sit
uation, says the prospect for a crop Is aa
follows:
In the Ozarks, 25 to 35 per cent; In central
Missouri, 20 to 30 per cent; In north Mis
souri. 15 to 25 per cent.
While this Is true we have special loca
tions where the crop will be 50 to 40 per
cent, and even the small average that the
state makes means, because of the large
number of orchards, a good many barrels
of marketable apples for sale at picking
time.
The prospect, so far as heard from, shows
less than half a crop In New York, a little
more than half a crop in Michigan, but
still larger percentage In the new western
and Pacific states. This, says Mr. Good
man, Justifies us in saying that the prices
will be fairly good and that It will pay to
take care of all our apples.
Grapes will be an abundant crop.
Peaches, of course, are a failure.
Pears a very light crop.
Plums a very good crop.

O'BRIEN WANTS MORE TIME
Chairman of Llahtlng Committee
Asks Delay btit Others Insist
on the Report.
Councllmen Evans, Huntington, Back and
Dyball vigorously opposed giving Chairman
O'Brien of the lighting committee more
time to report on the street gas lighting
bids, at the general committee of council
Monday aftern ion. The chairman explained
that he had been away In tho east on' a va
cation for four weeks and was not in a
position to make an Intelligent report. The
four members Insisted upon a return of
the papers Tuesday night. City Attorney
Breen told them they could accomplish this
only by majority vote In open meeting.
O'Brien finally declared he would send In
a report that would "make their hair curl
and Evans dared him to do this or anything
else. The chairman will probably fight the
matter out tonight.

DOCTORS for (MEN
Men of all ages, no matter In w hat walk of life, whose weakened vitality,
exhausted energies and shattered n frves tell a nKahle story, and who are In a
condition of extreme peril unless promptly rescued, caused in many cases by
Ignorance, excesses or contagion, these are the very men we want to talk to
nd help. Our special treatment will build up the system that has been shat
tered by abuses, excesses or disease and the various complications that ensue.
It is a well recognized fact that upon healthy activity of the sexual organism
depends the mental and physical well being of every person.
What can be more citable than to see a young man who Is Just budding Into
manhood drooping and fading away In the springtime of life? Disease soon
robs the face of Its color and the eyes of their brightness. The stooping form,
languid step and downcast countenance reveal to the critical eve the blight of
his existence, but this Is only the shadow or outward mark of the trouble ex
isting within, and the young man soon passes from the boundaries of health
Into the confines of disease. He is very nervous, easily confused, absent
minded, forgetful, continually possessed of doubts and fears, shy, suspicious.
Irritable, hates female society and would rather be alone. NiKlit losses, dav
drains, waste In urine and marked sexual decline almost Invurlablv follow.
The system unstrung, he has headache, backache, palpitation of the heart,
shortness of breath, dizziness, dersnged stomach, torpid liver, weak kidneys,
poor circulation and Is tired, lifeless and worn-out. He lacks ambition, con
fidence and courage, for the tremor of weakness and disease appalls his mlml
and shakes his body. The sufferer may exhibit one or more of these symptoms
or may have nil of them. They simply Indicate the ravages disease has-mado
upon the system, and the more of these symptoms a person shows the greater
the necessity for proper treatment until they have been bunlshenV
If you are ailing, call and consult with us without delav. We will help
you to escape from the slavery that Is holding vou captive and depleting your
manhood. We will make a searching and scientific examination of your ail
ments, an examination that will disclose your true physical condition, with
out a knowledge of which you are groping In the dRrk nnd without a thorough
understanding of which no physician or specialist should be allowed to treat
you. We have devoted many years exclusively to treating this class of
troubles, .attended with unprecedented success, and have evolved a safe and
certain cure In all cases where man's characteristic energies have become weak,
ened or debilitated, to which thousands of men owe their sturdy health and
hapnv condition In life. ,
We cure quickly, safely and thoroughly:
Stricture, Varicocele, Emissions, NervoSexual Debility,
Impotency, Blood Poison (Syphilis,) Rectal, Kidney
and Urinary Diseases.
and all diseases and weaknesses of men due to Inheritance, evil habits self
abuse, excesses, or the result of specific or private diseases.
