THINKS THERE IS SOME HOPE FOR I (an Come Only When Men Are !rnt to Legislature Who Will Honestly Work for It. 'The railroads are beating every town In the state out of taxes to which they are entitled, ami thla condition of affairs will brt changed only when men are elected to the legislature who understand the mibjoct and. who will get upon the floor ii nd ask for what they want." Thus did County 'ommtssloner-elect W. (. I' re, who, aa a member of the Real Ks tats exchange assisted and fought for the equitable taxation of railroads before tlm State Board of Equalisation in 1904, and who helped to create sentiment before the legislature of WS for a higher taxa-I lion of railroad property In cltlea and towns. "The fight for the taxation of railroad jiroperty for city purposes will continue and some dsy the members from out In the. state will see that It Is to their Inter est that the terminals be taxed locally. F.ven the llltla town of rapilllon would lienefU by a change In the method of as sessing the roads. That town has a half mile of track with a right-of-way of 40 feet. The right-of-way should be limited to 100 feet, and that Is plenty large. That would leave 3LO feet to be taxed locally. Claim Is Sot Trs. "Now, as a matter of tact, the railroads do not distribute 115,000,000, the value of the terminals, as la claimed by their tigents. The amount might be in the neighborhood of 13.000,000, which it la claimed Is distributed over 600 miles, mak ing W.000 a mile. One-fifth of thla would )e tl.300 a mile, or P would go to ' the town of Papllllon for taxation purposes. "Now, under the other system, with the right-of-way limited to 1U feet, see what would be the result. Papllllon has not less than two miles of side tracks, worth $.1.(00 a mile, or 17.000; it has In the 300 feet along the mileage eighteen acres of ground, worth $.'00 an acre, as It Is right In the heart of the town, or a value of 13.600; It haa Its depot and other property on the right-of-way, making some tlO.SOO.

"Fremont Is a worse sureror than Is the little village of rapilllon. It has hun dreds of thousands of dollars worth of terminals which are supposed to be dis tributed. Look what It would mean to that city were the plan of assessment changed. It loses In proportion Just as much as Omaha. It has not less than two miles of right-of-way, 400 feet wide. On this are elevators, lumber yards, coal yards and bulldlncs. "Every other town In the state is affected the same way. It would raise the railroad assessment In every town in the state for county, city and school purposes were the alleged distribution of the terminal prop erty stopped. "My plan of asscsHlntr railroads is to have the state board value the roadbed, the franchise, credits, right-of-way, lim ited to loO feet In width, and distribute this value according to the mileage of the road. Then have the local assessor look after the property not located on that 100-foot right-of-way. Because the railroads are beating the towns out of their taxes it hits been necessary for many towns to levy a tax contrary to the constitution, but the citizens know the necessity and noth ing Is done to slop It. "I look for the next legislature to do something for the towns, provided men are elected who will stand up and de mand that something be done. If some one in each town would take the trouble to look up the records he could readily see where the roads are not paying their share of the city taxes." Announcements of the Theaters.

The appointment of Judge Baxter was settled on this morning at the White House In a conference between the presi dent and Senators Millard and Dietrich and D. E. Thompson. Ths two senators and Mr. Thompson agreed on Judge Baxter and so assured the president. The World-Herald vraa the Brat to snggeel tho appointment of Judge Baxter as a compromise. Upon this suggestion the republicans, not only from Omaha, but from all over Nebraska, com menced to flood the White House and the office of the attorney general with tele grams aud letters urging the selection of Baxter.

The chickens will go to roost Thursday evening an hour and a half sooner than usual, after a very short day's work about the premises of their respective owners. It is on this ground, of a short day for the hen union, that egg dealers base their fancy prices for the biddy product about this time of year. The only qualifying element In the proposition this year is the extraordinarily fine weather. Today the winter soltiue begins and will not end until round about Utuiter. At this exact time In this latitude the sun shows up over the horizon an hour and a half later than at the same date In June and disappears below tho western sky Hue an hour and a half earlier than at the date of the summer solstice.

It is authori tatively stated that be told the senators they must agree on some one today and suggested at the same time the namo of Judge Baxter as a compromise. As Judge Baxter had not been Identified In any way with the factional differences of the state, the two senate,! willingly agreed upon hla selection. Mr. Thonipin.ii also is well pleased with the appointment. The Nehraskans here, generally speaking, are well pleased with Buxter's selection, al though many of them wanted Gurley. The term of District Attorney Binnninv has been out for two years, but he has held on, regardless of this. (Omaha World-Herald December ?, WHEN BAXTER GOT THE JOB Railroad Influence Said to Have Scur.1 Appointment. Irving F. Baxter's appointment as United States district attorney, which was con firmed in April, 1904, was the result of the .bitter fight made by Edward Rosewater and friends of Senator Dietrich against tha reappointment of W. 8. Summers. In the beginning of the fight Rosewater and Die trich strongly favored the appointment uf Harry C. Lindsay of Lincoln. W. F. Gur ley was also a candidate and was vig orously backed for the appointment. When the Rosewater-Dietrich combina tion saw that there was no chance for Lindsay Rosewater picked up District Judge Baxter for the purpose of getting Sum mers' scalp and slso euchering Qjrley out of the place. Through the Influence of Roeewater and ths Bur ling loo road Baxldi received the appointment.

In those good old-fushloned days it was common for mothers to make their own home medicines from roots and herbs, na- ture's own remedies calling In a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradi tion and experience many of thorn gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and liurbs Chief of these was a rare combination of the choicest medicinal roots and herbs found best adapted for the euro cf thu Ills snd weaknesses peculiar to the female ehbor.I.earaned',rf ,"m'' ,r"n"" neighbors learned that her compound re- i.c.tu iu iuiru im ii dim a me quite popu- inr among tnem. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But In 1S7U the financial crisis struck Lynn. Us length and severity were too much for the large real estate Interests of the Plnkham family, as thla class of business suffered mpst from fearful de pression, so when the Centennial year dawned It found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydla E. Plnkham s Vegeta ble Compound was made known to the world. The three sons and the daughter, with their mother, combined forces to restore the family fortune. They argued that the medicine which was so good for their women friends and neighbors waa equally good for the women of the whole world. The wonderful curative properties of the medicine were, to a great extent, self adverttslng, for whoever used It recom mended it to others, and the demand grad ually increased. In 18. by combined efforts the family had saved enough money to commence newspaper advertising and from that time the growth snd success of the enterprise were secured, until today Lydla E. Plnk ham and her Vegetable Compound have become household words everywhere, and many tons of roots and herbs are used an nually In Its manufacture. Lydla E. PI kham herself did i. it live to see the great success of this work. She passed to her reward years ago, but not till she had provided means for continuing her work as effectively ss she nould have done It herself. With Lydla E. Plnkham workd her daughter-ln-Iaw, the present Mrs. plnkham. Bhe was carefully instructed In all her hard-won knowledge, and for years she assisted her in her vast correspondence j To her hands naturally Ml the direction of the work when Its originator passed away.
