BATTLESHIP NEBRASKA IS DELAYED BallHrn t liable tn Pay Wk It Will Be Completed. 0tfrmnt la low rrofldlni It with Ordnance. (From a Stuff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. March J. (Special.) A brief was filed this afternoon In oenair or ine Tloyal Highlanders to prevent the taxation of their reserve fund. The, lower court of Hamilton county decided against the order. The ordpr claim exemption from taxation on the following grounds: 1. The entire property sought to be here taxed Is "used exclusively for charitable Z. The legislative and executive neparr- mente continuously and without question for thirty years since the adoption of our constitution, and und-r the Identical statute now In force, construed that constitution and statute to exempt from taxation the property or rralernal riencnciary associa tions used exclusively for the purpose of said association, and such construction and exposition Is conclusively binding both upon tha stare and trie courts. . The anoellsnt. in arriving at tne amount of the credits. If any. which It wsa required to return for taxation, nan me right to take an account of Its business and deduct Its outstanding liability from the amount of the Item listed in ciaasea 3 and 4. In the argument In aupport of their con tention the attorney for the lodge aay among other thing: The question here presented to the court Is a,, new one. Never, so fr as we are able to ascertain, has any slate prior to the year lf6 made any attempt to tax tha mortuary funds of a fraternal beneflclary association. Nebraska enjoy the unique distinction of being the pioneer In thla movement. No other state hna thua far seen fit to follow It lead. On the con trary, our sister states have proceeded on the rational theory that the provision made by these societies Is the best possible pro tection for the dependent a provident safe guard against a day of certain disaster; that It Is the greatest aid to the state yet devised to reduce to a minimum poverty, dependence and crime, and for these reasons merits ana should receive all possioie en couragement from the state. . Xebrnslcn Waits on Ordnance, Oovernor Mickey this morning received a letter from Moran Brother, builder of the battleship Nebraska, stating the con tractors could not tell when the hlp would be ready for commission. The governor some time ago wrote to the firm asking when the ship would be ready for commls. slon and the letter received this, morning waa In reply to that. The reason no data can be fixed, the letter stated, was be cause the government ha to furnish the ordnance material, and there is no telling when thla will be ready for the vessel. Were the material on the ground now, the letter stated, the vessel could be finished within six months. Good Times for Treasury Based on the amount of money Invested the last three month have been the beat for the state treasury In the history of the state. During that time Treasurer- Mor tenson ha Invested 1704,000. against (232.000 invested for the same period "Inat year. Today $50,000 In warrant was taken up by the treasurer. ITnder the provisions of the Sheldon Mil enacted Into law by the late legislature there ha been collected $115,000, and thla sum represents a portion of the big Investments. . Notwithstanding this enormous amount of money Invested, which seems to indi cate a large amount of prosperity, tha state debt still hovers around the $2,000,000 mark, with little Indication of any material reduction during the year... About tho-time the bills contracted by the last legislature are all paid up then another legislature will begin, and thus there will be more bill to pay. - ' .

It whitens ths teeth and further acta as a - natural and eminently safa cathartic. It absorbs Injurious gases which collect In the stomach and bowel; It dialatecu the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. ' All druggists sell charcoal In on form or another, but probably tha best charcoal and ths most for the money Is In Stuart' Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form or rather In the form of large, pleasac lasting loaengea, me cnarcoai oeing mlaed with honey.

Assistant United States Attorney Harry L. Colin, formerly of Omaha, but now stationed at Fairbanks, Alaska, arrived In Omaha Wednesday morning.

Harlan seriously 111, later dying. Mr. Cohn accompanied Judge Harlan and the body to York, Neb. Mr. Cohn Is Quite enthusiastic over Alaska. To a reporter for The Bee he said: "People In the middle and eastern state do not know what a wonderful country we have up in Alaska. Almost every In dustry tf any part of the world Is to be found some place within the territory: Of course the principal Industry Is that of mining, but all forms of vegetation are being produced. Right now those In the Interior, such as at Fairbanks, whera I am stationed, are greatly Interested over the prospect of a railroad penetrating the In terior. You see, during the winter months, when the Tukon river I frosen, it Is a terrible hardship to attempt to go to the outside. I crossed 40fff miles of snow and Ice to reach here. The railroad will obviate all this trouble. . : There Is more or less excitement there now over the possibility of the territory dr district' having a voice In congress. Heretofore, you know, we have been unrep resented in Washington. The delegate bill will greatly aid tha district. Candidate for this place are looming up already. However, queer as it may seem to you here where politics Is quite bitter at times, in all probability the contest for the place will not be along political lines. More probable it 1 that the different lo calities will place in the field a candidate. and the locality having the largest popu lation will succeed in having Its man elected. In this way the people there are quite partisan, taking great pride in their separate localities. I Fairbanks Is the leading town of Alaska now. its output of gold for lu6 waa the largest tn the history of Alaska, with tha exception of tha early years of Dawson. Dawson, however, is not the great camp it was, its people having flocked to Fair banks. 'I often meet Nebraska and even Omaha people up there. Some of them have grown quite prosperous. In fact, I have never seen a more prosperous country. ; 'I will return to Alaska In about thirty day. By the time I reach Ekagway the river will have opened and I will not be compelled to experience the great hard ship, as well a the dangers of crossing over the inside trail." n.
