The total amount of the apportionment Is
less han It would have been had the rail
ways paid their taxes. Last year the De
cember apportionment was 1271,000. The
state officials have not made any compila
tions to show to what extent the railway
suits have diminished the fund.

tendent In response to his request for fur
ther Information as to the authentication
of the enumerators' census reports did not

ments. Douglas county leads In Its share of the
apportionment, which Is $28,594.32, based on
a schiol census of 40.746. Lancaster county

TABLE ROOK. Neb., pec. 1. (Special )
The penple of this vicinity have read the
plea of (icncral M.indrrwon, the Burlington
solicitor. In reference to the piymert of
the tax of that corporation, and though no
formal reply may he given now, the people
will answer it at the polls in November.
19"i. Heed this prophecy. The railroad
may save a small amount and It may not.
Our people are slow to anger, b:it are be
ginning to gt fully aroused to the situa
tion that confronts them. The people of
Butler county and of Falls Pity are not
the only ones who feel aggrieved. If they
have not yet spoken audibly. The roads
have kept the people out cf this tax now
for more than a year, and the school dis
tricts of the state, many of them, are seri
ously hampered in meeting their legitimate
running expenses. The next legislature
will be elected on this Issue and woe will
be to the man who fails to stand up man
fully to the issue demanded by the people.

JUDGE SEARS UPHOLDS CITY'S DEMURRER
KITort to Prevent Consolidation of
( Ity and County Treasuries
Falls In the District
Conrt.
Jud-e Sears has sustained the demurrer
of the city to the petition of John T.
fathers In his suit to enjoin consolidation
of the offices of the city and county
treasurer. He dismissed the petition and
Mr. fathers announced that he would stand
on the petition, when amended In certain
particulars, and go to the supreme court.
"Thrown over the transom," said Assist
ant City Attorney Herdman, pithily, "and
the consolidation of the offices as contem
plated by the new city charter will proceed
In due order.
Judge Sears had written out his decision
at length, giving consideration to all the
essential points raised, with the exception
that he did not go into the merits of the
revenue sections of the charter. He held
they we're not properly subject for de
cision In the case at bar, although very im
portant In themselves.
At one place the court says:
"1 know of no reason why the legislature
could not, if it saw fit to do so, provide that
the treasurer of a county should be treas
urer In all that such term Imports of
every subagency of government In his
county."
Provisions Not Awry.
The court also says that he finds no
incompatibility in the duties imposed. In
cases of this kind, says the court, to Impose
duties upon the incumbent of an office it
is not necessary that the title of the enact
ment refer to such officer or his duties.
"Public officers are public servants,"
says the court, "who must expect added
duties In harmony with their several offices,
and objection can only be raised when the
new duties are Incompatible with the old."
On the question of school district treas
urer, the court says the office is not lost,
as contended by Mr. fathers, but Is as
definitely known and guarded and as di
rectly subject to control as before the
present charter took effect. A bond Is
provided for the safeguarding of the funds
outside of the city charter even.
Of the contention that the legislature
was by this act appointing an officer, the
court says there is nothing in it. The
inhibition in such case runs only against
a direct appointment a naming of the
appointee by the legislature directly.

"We wanted to bring our families here

"but when we broached the proposition to

Treating Wrong Disease.
Many times women call on their family,
physicians, snllering, us they imagine,'

arate and distinct dl8aae, for which he,
assuming them to bo such, prescribe his
pills and potions. In reality, they are all
only s7nttonis caused by some utarlne
disease. The physician, ignorant of the
ouu.tr of suffering, encourages this prac
tice until large bills are made. Tho suf

worse, by reason of the delay, wrong
treatment and consequent complications.

attach to the tree, can be connected di
rectly to any electric light socket and are
many times safer than the old Christmas
