OVER THREE THOUSAND PER M1E NET Secretary of State Jaskla Refnses ta (naatrrild Voirhrri for Claims After the Warrants Are leased. iKrom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. April 22. (Special.) Notwith standing the howl of the railroads In Ne braska about being hampered by legisla tlon, the cross earnings of the Burlington, according to the report filed today with L the State Hoard of Assessment, shows an Increase In the last year over the previous year of almost 13,000,000 and the net earn ings are Increased almost ttiOO.ooo. The Burlington managed to eke out only fit.' 196,368.47 during the last year, which, after deducting the operating expenses, left this road only l8.4M.gT4.10 to the good. This means that the road, after paying all ex penses, including the taxes, carried out of Nebraska for every mile of road It tins In this state, main line and branches. the um of 13,061. and It has 2.6U.23 miles. In the report the net earnings are considerably mailer than Is set forth In the above fig ures, because the company did a little Jug gling by Including in Its taxes paid In 1907 the sum of S382.M0.44, but as this sum represents the taxes due during the last three years when It refused to pay tip like other taxpayers, the board will not consider It as chalked up against the earn ings of this year. One thing the road did not do this year, and that la it did not deduct an arbitrary of 4-10 of 1 mill al lowed lines west of the river. The board. It is understood, last year refused to take this Into consideration and It is left out of ths return this year. The amount de ducted last year amounted to $1,176,662.75. This left nt earnings last year of $2,068, compared with a net earning of 23,061 per mile this year. The following Is a com parison of the figures of this year and last: 1807. 1W16.

Secretary of State Junkln will hereafter sign no vouchers upon which warrants have already been Issued, but Instead he will insist on approving vouchers be fore the warrant Is drawn or he wilt re fuse to become Jointly responsible with the auditor. Auditor Searle hereafter will Issue no warranty upon a voucher signed with a stamp by the secretary of state, but will insist that the endorsement of the secretary shall be written with pen and ink. Mr. Searle recently had his attention jmiinu v yJ yiiui rini uiuu wmuii 1119 name f the eeeeetary-of state had- been 1 ramped and he promptly nave notioe that he would s-t'Xtot recognize such a signature in the future. The secretary of state has ordered the practice stopped in his office and also served notice that he would not sign a voucher after the warrant had been Issued. ' "t has been a custom in the past, probably llnee Nebraska became a state, for the Midltor to be a good fellow and get out the warrants for routine claims before tie secretary of state signed the voucher, nerely to help along the fellow who had Watch Your Thirty Feet of Bowels I "TT T7U hva thlry ' ' Intestines! i What makes food travel T ' through them?

Sec retary of State Galuaha was one secretary who Insisted on the receipts accompanying the voucher, and on a few occasions he refused to endorse the claim because of the absence of the receipts. Occasionally, however, the warrants have been Issued without the approval of the secretary of state. One voucher filed by J. C. Martin of Cen tral City for work done for the attorney general In the milt against the Lumber Dealers' association, for IOT.46, contains this notation, written with a lead pencil and signed "Oalusha."

MOTHER TESTIFIES OF DAUGHTER'S DEATH Articles of Dress Worn by Rachel Eagtle Art latrsdncea la Evi dence by Atorney for State. GRAND ISLAND. April 22.- Special. ) Both sides In the case of the state against John Hamlin for the murder of Rachel Engle were ready to hold a session today. Arbor day, but It was agreed that neither had any rights to waive, and no session was held, court adjourning to Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock. The state has so far put on only three witnesses, two of whom were Mr. and Mrs. Kent, the step father and mother of the girl. The third was Miss Lillian Dunham, who was walk ing down town with Miss Engle on the night she was shot, but who did not see the shooting nor the man who did It, hav ing been at the moment walking behind Miss Engle and the shot coming from their rear and side. Mr. Kent's testimony was substantially the same as that given at the coroner's Inquest. It related the facts of Hamlin having been his employe, a boarder at his home, a man of unobjectionable behavior in every respect previous to the shooting; Lof his notification on the night of August I of his stepdaughter being sick, the treat ment given her and the care and her sub sequent death on January 14. Mrs. Kent, the mother of the girl, testi fied on direct examination that the best of care was given the daughter during her long confinement to bed after the shooting. After the removal of Rnchel Engle from the hospital to their home a trained nurse was secured, Mrs. Kent having the other household duties to look after. This nurse was almost continually In the home, board ing there. The unfortunate girl needed much attention, for the reason that she was paralyzed from the waist line down, the line at which the bullet entered, and none of the organs below the point per forming their natural functions without artificial aid. Every attention possible, however, was given her. Cross Examination. Attorney Prince, for the state, here asked for the production of the dress worn by the dead girl on the night of the shoot ing, and it was sent for, the cross-examination proceeding with the understanding that the dress could be later produced. On the cross-examination counsel for Hamlin made Its first serious attempt to establish Its line of defense. Mrs. Kent was asked If upon one other occasion, while endeavoring to aid the girl, Mrs. Kent had not broken a catheter during the process of Its Insertion. She stated that she had and had .Immediately Informed the doctor over the 'phone. Attorney Thompson went Into a lengthy and explicit examination of the position of the girl and the manner in which the glass tube about eight Inches In length was broken. Mrs. Kent declared that while she was supporting the girl with one hand and arm and reaching for a ves sel wlth another there was an Involuntary Jerking of the limbs, resulting In the break ing of the tube. "As a matter of fact, don't you know that you b.-oke the tube?" finally inquired Mr. Thompson. Clothlna- In Evidence. "I did not." Indignantly replied the wit ness. Attorney Thompson explained to the wit ness that while some of his questions might to her sound Impertinent, they were not intended In that way. Later the wit ness testified that the daughter, realizing the fact that the tube had been broken, said to her mother that she could not help It that there had been an Involuntary movement of the body. On redirect examination the clothing worn by the unfortunate girl was Introduced. As the mother unwrapped the package, a white shirt waist, showing the rent of the bullet, a corset cover and a pink striped skirt, she broke down and wept bitterly. i The articles of apparel were the state's first exhibit. Mrs. Kent was thereupon ex cused from the witness stand. All the witnesses are excluded from the court room until they shall have testified. The court room contains a large number of spectators at each session. A sister of Hamlin and her husband are here from Rock county attending the trial. BAYOSET CONTESTS AT FT.

Purcell. who Is an employe of the Table Rock Telephone con pany at Central City, had a narrow escape yesterday from death by accidental poisoning, lie Uvea one and a half miles north of town and was all hitched up ready to drive to town at 10 a. m.. when he took a dose of what he supposed to be a harmless medicine, but through mistake got hold of a bottle containing belladona, a deadly poison, of which he took a tea spoonful. Accompanied by his wife he got into the bumy and hurriedly drove to town and by vigorous work on the part of friends and pbysiclana bis life was saved. , V i :j Quo of the Important Duties cf Phy is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it Is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fir Symp Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle. T V . 1 1 .

As their condition Is seldom bettered during their stay here, the residents on Lincoln streets and In the vicinity of the Burlington depot, where In dian fights are a common occurrence, re port disgusting sights among the drunken braves and their squaws as they reel down the street to the depot. Wednesday after noon a party of Indiana engaged In a small riot at the home of Mrs. Brown of Lin coln street, where portions of ths fence i were torn down and other damage dona. the WeU-mformed of the San Francisco, Cal. U S. A. London, England. An old squaw was left to enjoy her drunken slumber on the soft growth of new green grass beside the walk, while the snow worked busily for several hours to furnish for her a downy robe of white. At the towns of Walthlll and Winnebago, down on the reservation, the problem of caring for the drunken Indians, each of them carrying a "llttlo brown Jug" full of "heap hot firewater," Is getting to be a serious one.

Cal., April 2J Kore klyo Takahaahl, the Japanese financier, Who has Just completed his mission of floating loans aggregating 1110,000,000 in London and Parts 10 redeem the war bonds of Japan; arrived In San- Francisco on his way home yesterday. Talking of his work In London and Paris last night, Takahanshl said: "The loans floated tibrond are now mostly held by London bankers, the stringency of money In Paris being chiefly responsible for this fact. Japan will pay 6 per cent for this money, which will be used In re deeming the 6 per cent bonds Issued dur ing the war. No difficulty is now encoun tered by Japan In raising money. Its credit has been unquestioned since Its achievements In the war and foreign capi tal Is dally pouring Into It In increased amount. "The I'nlted States bought about IGO.OOO. 000 of the war bonds, but has contributed little or no capital for Investment In Japan since. The reason for this Is patent. Men with money In the I'nlted States can get bigger returns for It here than anywhere else and do not hsve to go abroad to seek Investments. Japan will probably attract very little American capital while the pres ent reign of prosperity continues In the United States. Just now it Is getting most of Its foreign capital from England and France." SHIPS DAMAGED AT SEA British Steamer Arrives at Baltimore with Hole in Side and Stem Tvrlsted. BALTIMORE. Md.. April 21.
