(From a 6taff Correspondent )
UNCOI.N. July 16.-(8peclal.) The Btato
Board of Assessment this afternoon fixed
Ihe value of the franchise and rolling stock
Df each railroad In Nebraska under the
terminal tax law. Whfle the figures were
officially adopted there may be some slight
changes before the values are certified to
the local assessors. The value of franchise
and rolling Stock as found by the board
Is .to be added to the rnnptble property. In

for the reason that the number of cattle
has decreased and the new assessors prob
ably will not be able to get all of the per
sonal property. This presumption comes
from the fact that this year the assessors
had to devote considerable time and study
to the terminal tax law. The following
table shows the assessment of lands and

Impossible to give figures.
Ilia" Increase In Lands.
Beturns made to tha State Board of As
sessment by the county assessors of the
state indicate the Increase In the value of
land over the aid assessment will be
enormous, probably 850.000,000 or more In
the assessed value, or 8260,000.000 In actual
value. Some of the counties are still out,
but enough are In to give a general idea
of what the total increase will be. Thirty,
tilne counties from the far west to the
' eastern border of the state return land at
an assessed value of tS6.810.931. Lands In
the same counties last year were assessed
at a total of 8TS.243,704. This Is an Increase
In the assessed value of this class of prop
erty of 823.667.227. This is an average In
crease In these counties of $604,287. Should
this average hold good In the remaining
counties of the state the total Increased as
sessment of lands would be 854,385.830.
Naturally the large Increase In the assess
ment of lands has been In the western
counties, where for the last four years
there has been a phenomlnal rk-mand for
lands. These figures do not Include lots,
but merely farm lands, tl Is figured at
the state house there will be a falling off

MERIT. Y WAR AT PLATTSMOUTH
Mayor Gerlno; Causes Arrest of Man
Who Testified Against Him.
PLATTSMOUTH. Neb.. July 17.-(Spe-clal.)
Sheriff Qulnton arrested Henry Ger
Ing. the democratic mayor and a registered
druggist, charged with having violated tha
provisions of the Slocumb law In regard
to the sale of liquor on Sunday. In county
court a witness testified that he had pur
chased liquor In the drug sore from Qering
the two previous Sundays and that Qerlng
did not ask for what purpose he desired It.
Gerlng admitted that he sold the liquor.
The state chemist testified that the liquor
analysed only a small fraction over 26
per cent proof, while that sold In saloons
for "medical purposes" usually tested more
than 75 per cent proof. After listening to
the evidence, nearly the entire day, Judge
Beeson decided that a druggist had a legal
right to sell intoxicating liquor In Nebraska
on Sunday for "medical purposes."
Today Mayor Goring caused the arrest
of Samuel Beges. the principal witness In
the case, charged with having made a false
staten.ent to secure liquor on Sundays.
The case was continued until Saturday.
It Is understood that the saloonkeepers
in this city are back of the first arrest,
as they are compelled to keep their places
of business closed on Sunday and other
wise to comply with the provisions of the
Slocumb law. The end of the litigation Is
not In sight.

BOOSTING THE CATALPA TREE
Indiana Editor Glres Forty Reasons
Whr It Beats 'Km
All.
"Champion of the Catalpa Tree" would
be a fitting title for John P. Brown, an
Indiana man who is doing his share of the
work necessary to prevent the elimination
of American-forests. For many years he
has been busy with voice and pen urging
everybody he could reach to plant the
catalpa tree and to stop cutting "other
trees If possible.
In the latest Issue of his magazine. Ar
boriculture, published at Comersvllle, Ind.,
Mr. Brown gives forty reasons why th
catalpa tree should be planted In. prefer
ence to any other. Among tho reasons
given by him are these:
By 1925. at the present rate of destrue
tlcn. American forests will be extermi
nated. . i.
The catalpa Is the only valuable tree
which will mature by that time.
It grows In almost any soil.
Demands no professional manipulation.
Is the most durable wood known.
Valuable for railroad crossties; ties have
endured half a century.
Nothing better for telegraph and tele
phone poles. . ....
Miles of living trees are used for tele
graph lines.
Makes magnificent veneers.
Superior to oak for furniture.
Lighter than pine.
Tougher than hickory.
Neither shrinks, swells nor warps.
Makes best wood pulp and paper.
Immense yield per acre.
Excels as building material.
Equals walnut for carving.
Makes good fence posts.
Is not surpassed for mine timbers.
ideal wood lor smngies.
Makes good plow beams and handles.
Indians used It for boats for centuries.
Suitable for all car construction.
Has less Insect enemies than other trees.
Fewer diseases than other timber trees.
Quick growth for windbreak.
A handsome shade tree.
Roots never clog sewers.
Is good for practically all uses to which
wood Is adapted.
One of the gravest problems confronting
railway managers Is how to maintain a
supply of crossties, and when he proved
to them the rapidity of growth and dura
bility of the catalpa Mr. Brown had no
trouble in Inducing tha Louisville & Nash
ville, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Penn
sylvania and other roads to plant thou
sands of catalpa groves. The largest, wh'ch
Is at Carney, Ala., on the Louisville &
Nashville, covers 1.040 acres. During the
last year Mr. Brown has planted more
than a million catalpa trees, mostly for
railroad companies. Considerable forests
have been planted In New Zealand. Aus
tralia, France, Italy, Germany, Mexico,
Brazil, Argentine Republic, South Africa,
India and In Canada, all through the ef
forts of this one man.
It should be made clear that the proper
tree to plant Is the catalpa speclosa. There
are several groups of the catalpa, similar
In many respects, yet all materially dif
ferent In size of tree and usefulness of
product from the speciosa variety. The
catalpa blgnonioldes, common throughout
the south. Is almost a worthless sort.
The wood of the catalpa speciosa much
resembles butternut or white walnut, has
a remarkably handsome grain and takes
a high polish. Its chief merit, In consid
ering the future timber supply of this
country, lies in the comparative rapidity
with which it reaches maturity. Under
ordinary conditions, It Is claimed. In fif
teen years the catalpa speciosa will attain
a diameter of twenty-two Inches at a
height of ten feet from the ground, making
a log from which four railroad crossties,

A Defense of Humor.
Here Is Champ Clark's defence ot humor,
If It needs one:
"The dry-as-dusts solemnly asseverate
that humor never - did any good. Now.
let's see. How did Private Juhn Allen of
Mississippi, get to congress? Joked him
self In. One bit of humor sent him to
Washington, a rational lawmaker. Oppos
ing him for the congressional nomination
was the Confederate General Tucker. They
met on the stump. General Tucker closed
one of his speeches as follows:
" 'Seventeen years ago tonight, my fel
low-citizen, after a hard-fought battle oa
yonder hill. I bivouacked under yonder
clump of trees. Those of you who remem.
be-r as I do the times that tried men't
souls will not, I hope, forget their humbli
servant when the primaries shall be held.'
"That was a atrong appeal In those days
but John raised the general at his own
game. 'My fellow-cltlzens," he said, 'whal
General Tucker saya to you aboul
bivouacking under your-der clump of treet
is true. It Is also true, my fellow-cltlzens,
that I was vedette picket, and stood
guard over him while he slept. Now. then,
fellow-cltlzens, all you who were generals'
and had privates to stand over you while
you slept, ate for General Tucker, and
all of you who were privates and stood
guard over the generals while they slept,
vote for Private John Allen." The peopls

him to congress, where he stayed uwtll

rupulous dealers, mindful only of profit and ear
ning ror the health of their patrons, are offer
sale low grade. Impure whiskey, which they tell
as "good as Duffy's."
It Is a cheap concoction and fraud. Intended
to deceive the people. Of course, when a
remedy has been before the public so long, has
been prescribed and used by the best doctors
nd In all the prominent hospitals, and has
carried the blessing of health Into so many
thousands of homes as Duffy's Pure Malt
Whiskey has, Imitations are bound to arise.
But they can Imitate the bottle and label only
no one can Imitate the contents:
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey Is an absolutely
pure, distillation of malted grain; great care
being used to have every kernel thoroughly
malted, thus destroying the germ and produc
ing a predigested liquid food In the form of a
malt essence, which Is the most effective tonic
stimulant and Invlgorator known to science;
softened by warmth and moisture, Its palat
ahillty and freedom from Injurious substances
render It so that It can be retained by the
most sensitive stomach.
Any firm that will sell Imitations or substi
tution goods will sell Impure goods. The firm
that Is dishonest In one thing would not hesi
tate to be dishonest In another. Whenever you
see imitation or substitution goods offered for
sale by a firm, beware of anything and every
thing put up by that firm. You endanger your
own lives and the lives of your family and
friends by dealing with them.
