(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. March .-8pec4al. It was
reported In Lincoln tht afternoon the can
vass of the members of the. republican
stata aommlttee by Chairman Warner re
garding a data for the state convention
war almost a unit for a late convention.
Out of all the members of the committee
who answered the letters only two voted
for an early convention. The remainder
f tha committee waa for a convention to
lie held either In the first or second week
of August. In discussing the date of the
convention former Chairman Lindsay of
the committee said
"Tha poll taken by a state committee that
counta la the first poll. It does no good
to take a poll a few days before election.
It does not matter whether the chairman
knowa Just how large the majority Is
igolng to be. The first poll shows him Just
I tow many voters there are and just what
material he has to work on. This Is the
poll that does the real good. After he has
secured this poll he can begin work and
try to make converts. A poll just before
election doesn't help him In the least, be
cause, he would have no time to change
votes then.
"A convention along In August would
glva tha committee plenty of time to take
a poll of the atate and to get the organi
sation In shape. Then a short, snappy
campaign would bring results. There Is
no good to be obtained by a convention
called early In the summer."
Aortloas mt School Lands.
Land Commissioner Raton is today pre
paring notices to be sent out to the various
counties Interested of the dates and the
plaoea of auctions of school lands. Owing
to the prosperous times In Nebraska few
leasees of school lands have defaulted In
their payments during the last year and
not much land will be leased under the
auctions. It Is believed In the future the
number of delinquenta will be gradually
reduced, a that haa been the record for
years. Tha land la getting worth 'more
and la more productive and the auctions
will shortly be a thing of the past.
Between April I and 14 auctions will be
held as follows: Cedar county, at Hart
Ington; Holt county, at O'Neill; Brown
eounty, at Atnsworth; Cherry county, at
Valentine; Sheridan county, at Rushvllle;
Dawea county, at Cbadron; Sioux county,
at Harrison; Keya Paha county, at Spring
view. Anwr Railroad Brief.
Copies of the demurrer and the answer
Died by Attorney General Brown to the pe
tition of tha Union Pacific Railroad com
pany asking for an Injunction to prevent
tha collecting of taxes levied agalnat the
toad for the year 1906, have been received
at tha office of tha legal department.
The brief filed denies tha allegation of
tha railroad attorneys that the State Board
of Equalisation failed to equalise between
tha valuations of the various counties and
that several counties were valued notori
ously too low. It also denies the state
board baaed Ita assessment for 1M6 on the
valuation fixed In 1901, but says Instead
tha board took Into consideration all the
facta and reports filed by the railroads
and then with what other Information it
ocald gat. It fixed the valuation of the
property.
Hotel Wisti Water.
A. I Hoover ac Bona secured a tempo
rary Injunction against the city of Lincoln
yesterday afternoon to prevent the city
from shutting off the water at the Llndell
hotel. The city some months ago diacov
avered that water used at the Llndell was
not going through the meter and decided
tha hotel should pay some $6,000 back water
rent. To this the Hoovers objected, assert
ing they did not know tha connections had
been madevso the hotel could get water
free. To bring the matter to a showdown
tha water commissioner notified the hotel
proprietors to pay up by 4 o'clock yester
day or tha water would be shut off at the
bote. The Injunction Is made returnable
March 1ft,
lastraetloaa for Assessors.
In amswer to numerous questions raised
at the meeting of the county aaaesaora In
Lincoln some time ago Secretary Bennett
of the State Board of Assessment haa. with
tha aid of tha legal department, prepared
a latter to be sent out to the various as
sessors. Tha letter flrat will be presented
to the board for Ita consideration and en
dorsement before being mailed out.
Tha letter will instruct the assessors to
value a liquor license as a franchise or a
right to do business. It will also state
rant earned by a piece of property, but not
yet collected should be classed aa a credit
and Included in the assessment of prop
erty. As the property exempt from taxa
tion la the exception rather than tha rule,
tha letter will Instruct the aaseasors when
In doubt levy the assessment. Parsonages
and church property not used for church
purposes, the letter will say, are subject
to aaaeaament and taxation.

HARTI NGTON. Neb.. March $. (Special
Telegram.) Peterson & Lamoreaux. rail
road contractors of Omaha, arrived here
yesterday and commenced preparations for
building the extension of the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad
from here to Crofton, a distance of fifteen
and a half miles.' A half dosen or mope
subcontractors are also here and work on
the new road, which was surveyed In Jan
uary', will commence at once. The con
tractors say they will have 150 teams grad
ing within the next thirty days.
This is the first positive assurance the
public has had of the extension that has
been talked of for years. Crofton Is about
fourteen miles southwest of Tankton In
Knox county, and It Is believed that this
Is the first move of Joining the Chicago,
St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha lines In
Nebraska with the Northwestern line at
Tankton. The assurance of thia railroad
building Is of great interest in northeast
Nebraska, aa it means railroad facilities to
a large territory that has long been settled.

of Urape-Nuts food by mistake, so 1 tried
a dish for dinner. I was su: prised to mid
that It satisfied, my appetite and gave me
no distress whatever. The next meal 1
ate of It again, and, to bd brief, 1 have
lived for the past year almost exclusively
on Urape-Nuts. it has proved to be a
most healthy and appetising food, per
fectly adapted to the requirements of my
system.
"It is not only easily digested and as
similated itself, but 1 find that since I
have been using it I am able to eat any
thing else piy appetite fancies without
trouble from indigestion. The stomach
trouble and nervousness have left me, I
have regained my plumpness and my views
of life are no lunger despondent and
gloomy. Other members of my family, es
pecially my husband (whoso old enemy,
the 'heartburn.' haa been vanquished),
have also derived great benefit from the
use, of Grape-Nuts food, and we think d
morning meal complete without it." Name
