(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 14. (Special.) Th
Stat Board of Equalisation la dealing In
horses and cattle today and a number of
counties ham been boosted. The boosts,
however, are merely tentative and may be
charged before the final figures are made
by the board. The counties In which live
stock waa Increased are tha following:
Fillmore. 10 per cent on cattle, from
IS.B to ss.91; Dundy, cattle, 10 per cent.
from tS to $1.30; Douglas, boreea, 20 per
cent, from tJI.B to I10.17; mules. X0 pr
cent, from $15 to $18.11; Deuel, cattle, 10
per cent, from $$. to $3.17; Cuming,
horses. 10 per cent, from $1.4 to U.JS;
Colfax, horses, 26 per cent, from $11 to
$14.75; mules, 60 per cent, from $9. $8 to
$14.76; Cheyenne, cattle, 10 per cent, from
$3.05 to $3.35; Cherry, horses, 20 per cent,
from $6.28 to $7.56; Burt, horses, 10 per
cent, from $14.29 to $16.71; Blaine, cattle,
20 per cent, from $2.62 to $3.14; Antelope,
cattle, 10 per cent, from $3.10 to $3.41;
mules, 20 per cent, from $10.73 to $12.87.
The different ways assessors have of
looking at a horse has been the means of
numerous valuations being placed on these
animals, consequently the board has had
to do a lot- of figuring to get anywhere
near an equal valuation between the
various counties. In some counties which
adjoin live stock Is valued at prices which
are the extremes. Jut how to equalise
these values is what is worrying the
board. t
There Is some talk that the board's
hardest work will be on merchandise, but
It Is not likely that the merchandise in
any one county will be particularly In
creased or decreased. The great stir made
by the Journal-News here against the
merchandise assessment In Douglas
county, merely for political reasons and
the failure of the combination to make
good yesterday, likely will result in Doug
las county merchandise going through
without a change. As no member of the
board has looked into the assessment of
merchandise In any county and has no
means of knowing what this Item Is
worth, except the returns of the county
assessors, the Item will not, In all prob
ability, be changed at all.
The board will continue to meet from
day to day until its work is done.
Constitutional Amendment Notices.
Secretary of State Oalusha has prepared
the copy of the constitutional amendment
to be submitted at the fall election and thfl
notices will be sent to the newspapers
about August 1. The notices will run for
Beven weeks and will be published In one
paper in each county of the state. It wlil
cost $49 for each paper, or a total of $1110.
Mr. Oalusha has not yet selected the pa
pers In which the amendments will be pub
lished, but will do so within a few days.
The amendment to be voted on this fall
provides for the election of a railway com
mission consisting of three members, and
It has been provided by law that should a
political party endorse the amendment a
straight party vote Is a vote for the amend
ment.
Barnes Most Drop Title.
A. T. Barnes of Plattsmouth, who hus
been maklrg his living for years as a vet
erinarian, will no longer use the title of
veterinary surgeon after his. hams, the
State Board of Veterinarians today having
upheld the decision of the State Board of
Secretaries, who ruled that Barnes was
not entitled to the title. He failed to make
the required grade st his examlnstioM.
Barnes claimed to have been graduated at
a college In New York, but that his di
ploma had been destroyed by fire, and rs
the college had 'gone out of existence he
could not get the records. The secretaries,
however, compelled him to take the ex
amination and he failed to make good. He
can still practice, but cannot call himself
doctor.
Dr. Ramacclottl of Omsha was re-elected
by the State Board of Veterinarians today
as a member of the Board of Secretaries.
The term Is for three vears.
Governor fioes to Wisconsin.
Governor Mickey will leave August for
Geneva Beach, Wis., where he will deliver
an address before the Young Men's Chris
tian association. The governor will be ac
companied by his son Benjamin and the
two will remain for several days resting.
The governor's eye Is much better and his
physician believes his trouble Is about
over.
Call for State Veterinarian.
Dr. C. A. McKIm, state veterinarian,
has received a letter from Sheriff C. E.
Hall of Holt county, urging him to come
at once to O'Neill to examine some horses
m-hlch are under quarantine, supposed to
be afflicted with glanders. Sheriff Hall
declares that the farmer who owns the
horses Is losing his grain because he cannot
pass along the public road to a part of his
farm, two miles away. He does not want
to kill his horses unless they are surely
afflicted with the glanders, and he. does
not want to bring new ones on the place
If they are thus afflicted. Dr. McKIm will
also make a short stop at Pllger and Alns
worth where some cattle are alleged to be
afflicted with tuberculosis.
Vacancy In .Vational Hoard.
Adjutant General Culver has Issued an or

SANTEES TO HOLD FESTIVAL
Stoax Will Hold Feast and Dances
Nenr Center.
CENTER. Neb.. July 24. (Special.)
On August 1, and S, on the Santee Indian
reservation in this county, will be held the
annual celebration In memory of the de
parted chiefs of the Sioux nation. At this
time all tha Indians of this tribe, together
with invited representatives from the
tribes of Pins Ridge, Yankton. Slsseton,
Flandreau, Winnebago, Omaha and the
Oklahoma territory, will meet and pitch
a camp, as In the olden days, and for
the entire time they will indulge In the
gsmes and sports traditional with the
people of this race. War dances, pony
rsces. lacrosse, busting bronchos and
sham battles will all be tried over again,
as In the days when the white mon knew
the prairies not. The famous dantee
ploux Indian band will furnish music, and
a bowery will accommodate tho white
people present who care to dance. Bass
ball between the Indians and other good
teams will be among tha attractions.
These celebrations of the Indians have al
ways been of Interest to many white peo
ple who attended and pitched their camps
with tha Indians. This year, some of
thosa who have heretofore attended merely
as spectators, have taken an Interest and
given tho Indians some pointers on how to
make a celebration a success, and this
will probably bo tho biggest thing of ths
kind svsx bld en a rsatrvauea. Ths

The American Cigar Company's scientific system of handling the tobacco leaf has made it
possible to guarantee absolute uniformity of quality in every one of the cigars it produces.
The American Cigar Company knows where its tobacco comes from. It maintains a great
buying and storing service in each tobacco-growing district; and buys exactly the tobacco it wants.
Its tobacco is all harvested under the direct supervision of its own experts, and the plants are cured
in its own storing houses on the plantations.
The new two-year fermenting process is what gives to the cigar its best smoking qualities. It
extracts every last trace of the original harsh greenness and develops to perfection the aromatic fra-
grance of choicest selected leaf.
The blending process combines in an actual blend the characteristic goodness of each required
variety of leaf.
The particular brand that suits your taste to-day will be exactly the same next year in.
strength, flavor and grade.
The American Cigar Company manufactures many brands of cigars from as many different "blends" to suites
many different tastes. Among all these widely varied " blends " your taste has been provided for. And of them all
there is none' that suits more smokers. than the Anna Held.
"Anna Held" is a direct and unmistakable proof of the quality produced by these new processes of fermenting
and blending. ' It is a smooth, rich, even smoke of mellow Cavor and absolutely uniform Quality.
Sold by all dealers who want to give good value.
Trade Supplied by J. & B. MOOS, Des Moines, Iowa.

sham battle on Friday, August 3, will be
something worth seeing. The Indians love
to imitate their ancestors in the battle
field and will moke the sham battle very
realistic for those not initiated Into tiie
mysteries of the red men. The camp site,
five miles north of Canter, Is well se
lected. Young timber' lines 'the swiftly
running stream and the'' 'smooth prairie
comes down out of the hills to the edge
of the camp. ' White people are Invited to
come and make a camp with the Indians
during the entire time, and the presence
of many citizens of the county will Insure
safety to strangers. .Ample restaurant
arrangements will be provided for all
visitors, but it is recommended that they
bring no dogs, as the supply here Is lim
ited and the authorities might not be
able to protect that Item of the Sloux cul
inary department.
