In Its report to th etate. Board of As
sessment th Northwestern railroad
boosted Ms values of property situated in
cities, villages and towns. The reports
filed by th board deal wtlh property t be
assessed under th terminal or local tax
' law, all of which Is subject to valuation for
the purposea of local taxation. Th local
I boards value tha property for purposes of
local taxation, while th state board
values It for purposes of state taxation.
Th terminal or local railroad tax law
waa originated In Nebraska by 1L T,
Clarke, jr., who la now a member of ma
state railway commission. Wben he In'
troduccd a bill for the local taxation of
railroad property he waa a member of tht
hoube of representatives and lived In
Omaha. The people of Oman were very
desirous of such a law because in Omaha
there is situated large and valuable termi
nals which had thcretofor escaped local
taxation because thuy were taxed for stata
purposes.
Soon sfler the terminal tax law went
Into effect the Northwestern Railroad com
pany began to report the value of its prop
erty far beyond the vaiuea placed upon it
by assessors. Now another jump is made
by the reports of the company, in. many
case the Increase being front one-third to
one-half the former value. When this
increase waa first commenced by the rail- I
road company it attracted a great deal of !
attention and was combettea By other rail
road companies in an indirect way. Now
that aonie of the company' a property is
reported to the Stat board at double the
former value, the aeusplcton is aroused that
the company had more foresight than other
railroad companies in preparing for the
time when the state railway commission
will place a value on all ot the physical
property ft railroad companies in this
late.
The state board ot assessment did little
or nothing when the Nortnwestera road
first began to report Increased values for
the purposes of local amassment, but now
hat railroad rates may be baaed on
physical valuation the board may tax
notice. It la generally understood that any
railroad is willing to pay Increased taxes
if It can gain the privilege of charging
rales In accordance with property vaiuea

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 17. (Special.) Chief
Game Warden Miller has ordered the arrest
of Herman Lease of Norfolk for stealing
fish. The reel charge Is taking fish un
lawfully from public waters. The game
warden, acting under the law, gave cltliens
of Norfolk a written permit to transfer
fish from the Blkhorn river at a point
below a dam In the town to a point above
the dam. The object was to transplant
bass, crappies and catfish above th dam,
a place which they could not reach on
account of the height of the dam. To do
the work It was necessary to set nets and
seines below the dam. The cltliens aid a
man to empty the nets from time to time
and place the fish In the still water above
the dam.
Lease Is accused of taking fish from the
net for his own use. He Is said to have
been found with three fish in his possession
and how many he may have taken may be
developed at the trial. During the first
week of the experiment seven bam, thirty-
five crappies, one large eel and rnilte a
number of catfish were transferred by the
citizens' employe. For the taking of a fish
unlawfully from public waters a msxlmum
fine of H0 for each fish can be Imposed.
Dr. W. M. Thomaa, superintendent of the
institute for feeble minded youth at Beat
' rice, has refused to approve a claim of
1780 for mattresses furnished to his lnstl
tutlon by W. W. Bcott of Beatrice. The
contract for the goods was made with the
Board, of Public Land and Buildings. Hair
mattresses weighing thirty pounds, single
site, were asked for when bids were i
celved. One Lincoln furniture firm bid
tm, but Mr. ftaott of Beatrice said he
could furnish all hair mattresses for S6M).
When th goods were delivered Dr. Thomas
took the trouble to rip open some of the
mattresses, and his Judgment was that
they were not hair mattresses. Fiber wss
the principal constituent of the mass, ac
cording to Dr. Thomas. The state board
has not yet passed on the claim.
Refnaea to O. K. Bill.
Dr. Thomas in discussing the affairs of
his Institution said the former, administra
tion had padded the enrollment of Inmates
to the extent of forty-one, evidently for
the sole purpose of making a creditable
showing in the per capita cost of the in
stitution. There are now 417 inmates in
the institution, and with a new building
now completed there is room tor 100 mora
than have applied.
State Towns Want Meeting.
The precedent followed for a dozen years
or more of holding the etate dental society
meeting alternately at Omaha and Lincoln
according to members of th state associa
tion bids fair to be broken this year. Grand
Island, Hastings and Kearney are con
testants for the honors and are working
hard to secure the vote when th matter
comes up at Thursday's sessions.
Officers for the coming year wlU also be
chosen at the same meeting.' but no fights
are looked for, candldstes coming out with
considerable reluctance.

duction of an original undergraduate oper
The ui saauallon was perfected last night
and plans ware diacussd for the coming
year.
r ' 'It is customary to measure the capacity of motors, engines, etc, by the
number of "Horse-power" they exert.
Thomotive power of modern industry, science and business is measured by
"Man-power."
Modern tests show that the average meat-eater, contrary to the former be-j
lief, cannot begin to generate the power possessed by those who abstain from
flesh-eating. Training classes at one of .our great universities composed of young
men who took meat in their training, diet which, they supposed, would increaso
their strength, could not, for example, hold their arms horizontal for more than
fifteen minutes while it was a common thing for flesh-abstainers to hold the arms
horizontal for more than an hour, with less pain and fatigue than the meat-eaters
experienced in half that time.
This and similar scientific tests have opened up interesting and valuable re
searches in the nourishment of body, brain and nerves.
One objection to the three-times-a-day flesh diet is the excess consumption
of "protein," which produces an over-balanced dietary one in which the tissue
forming element is greatly in excess of the body needs. This results in a clogging
up of the system with material which nc t only cannot be utilized by the body, but
which tends to form uric acid and other poisonous matter difficult to get rid of.
If there is an excess of such poisonous material, as above explained, the
blood is loaded with it and the brain nerves, and muscles do not receive "pure
food" on the one hand, while the body powers axe reduced by having to put
forth extra exertion to remove or destroy the poison.
Gimp - Not
FOOD
with cream contains protein for tissue-repairs and not in excess. The food is
sterilized by long baking; is partly predigested by changing a portion of the
starch into dextrin and dextrose (grape-sugar) so that it is easily digested and
quickly absorbed.
Made of whole wheat and barley, Grape-Nuts contains all of the food ele
ments of these cereals, including the phosphate of potash (grown in the grain)
which nature provides for combining with'the albumen ("protein") in the food,
to rebuild worn-out brain, nerve, and other tissue-cells of the body.
In training for sport or business success, Grape-Nuts food for breakfast, with
good cream, a soft boiled egg or two, some cooked fruit, all taken in modera
tion and with a peaceful mental attitude, will do more toward "trattinir von in
form" than any other dietary yet discovered or devised.
