In hla brief the attorney general main
tains It la the established rule of the court

collection of taxes, and a number of tax
collectors are made the defendants, the
amount In controversy Is determined by
the amount aought to be enjoined against

Iitsrwee Companies Paring; Tax.
All old line Insurance companies and all
casualty companies doing business In Ne
braska have paid up their 2 per cent tax
on their gross receipts together with th?
fees due the state. Under the terms of
the reciprocal insurance tax all but nine
of the companies have paid and these are
now in correspondence with the head of
the insurance department and will shortly
remit.
Since January 1 there has been paid into
the department the aum of V7.000 under
the provisions of the t per cent tax on
gross premiums, and a total of $91,000 for
all licensee and feea. Within the next
thirty days nearly all of the money to
be taken In during the year will have been
collected and It la expected the amount
awlll react the aum of $110,000.
Thls ' will be an Increase of over $20,000
over the total collections of last year, when
from all sources the Insurance department
collected the aum of $87,000. A good portion
of this increase la due to the payments
under the provisions of the reciprocal
tax law which the supreme court recently
held constitutional.
It waa freely talked that should the' su
preme court hold the law waa valid and
, capable of enforcement, many . of the old
companies would withdraw from the state
and cease to do business here, but such
results, however, were not realised. All
of the companies, with the exception of a
few, have paid up and these have notified
the department they expect to pay. Thj
decision kept no company out of the
state.
Insarausc Company Barred.
The Providence Savings Life Insurance
company of New York has been refused
permission to do buslnesa in Nebraska.
Deputy Pierce said the company had not
been examined for about thirty years by a

will refuse to Issue a license. The com
pany maintains several agents in this atate.

the ground. The contents of both buildings

Is slight. The three buildings which were
burned were frame buildings and In two

STRANGE FACTS.

Strange, It Is, that in such little tablet

such wondrous potential possibilities, that
by their use the course of a man's whole
life yea, of the world may be changed!
Yet, who would not appreciate the fact
that If Napoleon had not been Buffering
from Cancer of the Stomach he would have
won instead of lost at Waterloo?
And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets would
have cured this Stomach Trouble had they
then been Invented, as they 'have cured
thousand of other In the past ten years,
who have suffered Just as Napoleon did.
So you can readily appreciate that today,
by cuilng all theao people, Stuart Dys
pepsia 'tablets is helping to get the woriu
work done, by people who would uo woiw
work if Uuy were sick, w they must be
having a great Influence, in a quiet way,
on the world progress.

RULE ON STATEHOOD BILL
evr Flan of Handling Measure to
Prevent ft from Going
to Committee.
.WASHINGTON, March 20.-The state
hood bill will be taken up In the house
tomorrow under the protection of a spe
cial rule, the adoption of which will lie
tho necessary step on the part of the houso
to get the bill Into the hands of the con
ference committee of the senate and house.
Forty minutes' debate will be divided be
tween the friends and opponents of the
rule, when a vote will be taken.
The special rule Is declared to be the only
way the bill can be taken from the speak
er's table, as otherwise It would have to go
to tho commltee on territories, because of
the senate amendment making a different
disposition of certain government property
than was contemplated by the house bill.
If this amendment hod not been mado a
motion to concur In the senate amendment
would have been In order, a taking prece
dence over a motion to disagree.
However, the advocate of the house bill
see a tactical advantage In the special rule,
a some members who were Inclined to sup
port a motion to concur with the senate
will not be Inclined to oppose a rule direct
from the speaker' room. A meeting of
the republican "insurgent" I contem
plated. Their leaders say the rule prob
ably will be adopted, but that while they
have no real objection to (ending the bill
to conference, they will vote against the
rule, aa they consider It constructive in In
struction to the house conferees that they
are not to report unless they can reach an
agreement in accordance with the house
bill. They predict that the vote tomorrow
will be the last one In which the "regu
lars'' can hold their strength and that If
a report comes In Arlsona and New Mexico
will be eliminated from the bill.
Thirty "Insurgent" republicans met In
Representative Babcock's committee room
today and agreed to stand together In op
position to Speaker Cannon' plan to send
the statehood bill to conference. The "ln
urgenta" say they favor sending the bill,
as amended by the senate, to a conference,
but will not support any rule to hut off
debate and prevent the house from In
structing its member of the conference aa
to how to vote. Representatives liabcock,
Mondell and other leaders In the Insur
gent faction Insist that the speaker plan
will railroad the bill to the conference In
such a way that the house members of
the conference must Insist on the bill prac
tically aa it was framed and passed by the
house.

" Immediately after my

severe bearing-down pains,
fearful backache and fre

trouble a I hav ever known. Lydla E.

cured me within four months. Since that
time I have had occasion to recommend it to
a numlier of patients suffering from all
form of female difficulties, and I find that
while it is considered unprofessional to rec

recommend Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound,- for I have found that it cures
female ills, where all ot her medicine fails, It
Is a grand medicine for sick women."
