THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, JULY 26 MAT LEVY A SINKING FUND Plan of State Board to Liquidate'the Stase's Floating Debt. GOVERNOR SAVAGE BACK FROM VACATION — Announcement from ¥ quarters that Bryan W Speaking Tour (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 2.—(Special.)—The State | Board of Equalization is considering a plan to restore the sinking fund levy in the as- sessment of property for the purpose of taxation. The matter was discussed at some length at the meeting of the board to- day, but action was postponed, pending the receipt of an opinion from the attorney general as to the legality of such & levy. It has been customary in the past to use the revenue from the sinking fund levy for the payment of Interest on state bonds. The last levy for this purpose was made in 1899 and the balance remaining in the fund after the last of the bonds were pald off was transferred to the general fund. Treasurer Stucfer, who has made the proposition to the board, is of the opinion that the revenue from such a levy could be used for the discharge of any state indebt- edness. He would bave the levy fixed at 3% mill throughout the state, which would produce approximately $80,000. Mr. Stuefer has declared that he will ask the attorney for his view as to whether the levy can be made now that there are no bonds out- standing and the money derived therefrom used In the payment of claims against the state, The board held one session this morning and adjourned until Monday, when a rep- resentative of Douglas county will appear to ask for a reduction In its rate of assess- ment. Cass county made a similar request today. Governor Savage Returns, Governor Savage returned to his dutles (this morning after nearly a month's ab- sence. He cape direct from Denver, unac- companied. His party traveled over an- other route from Denver, those bound for Lincoln, including Mrs. Savage, arriving here at 6 o'clock tonight. The governor left his companions last night in order to be in Lincoln today to attend the meeting of the State Board of Equalization and con- sider matters demanding his attention. He reported every member of the party in good health. % ' The trip included briet stops at Seattle, where the governor and his friends attended the laying of the keel of the battleship Nebraska; Tacoma, Los Angeles, Pasadena, the' Catilina Islands, Stockton, San Fran- cisco, Salt Lake City and Denver. Governor Savage says Nebraska will be one of the biggest and most modern battle- #hips In the navy. It will have a displace- ment of between 14,000 and 15,000 tons, will cost $3,600,000 and will have an armament equal to that of any ship in the navy. The builders, Moran Bros., informed him that it would be an improvement over Oregon. The citizens of Seattle raised a subscrip- tion fund of $100,000 to add to the govern- ment’s ‘appropriation for the ship, this be- ing done to insure its construction within thelr city. The governor's office has been deluged with correspondence rding the pros- pective appointments the Omaha Fire and Police commission. The governor has essayed the task of taking all the petitions and letters into consideration, hence it is not lfkely that he will have the appoint- ments ready to announce for several days. State r Ofices Opened. A temporary office of the Board of Man- agers of the state falr has been estab- lished In the food department at the statehouse and will be maintained there until Secretary Furnas opens headquarters in thils city. G. G. Furnas, superintendent of concessions, and 8. C. Bassett, member of the Board of Agriculture, are looking after the preliminary work, or as much of it as is belug dome in this city. The board’s headquarters will be opened about August 15, probably in the Lindell hotel. “About all we want now to make the state fair a big success Is good weather," sald Mr. Bassett. “If we have good weather we will have lots of people; we already have exhibits in prospect that warrant us in saying that the falr will surpass pre- vious efforts. “We are rellably informed that for the first time in several years the farm Im- plement dealers will bo represented by big displays. This will add to the attractive- ess of the falr and ought to be appre- clated. An effort was made to get all the dealers Into another combination to stay out, but several declined, and it now looks as though most of the firms will be rep- resented. We have given one firm permis- sion to erect a permanent buliding on the grounds and it is understood that others will soon ask for the same privilege.” Secretary Furnes i hard at work at his home in Brownville arranging for the ex- position. and distributing advertising mat- ter and literature calculated to bring forth many thousands of people. Among im- provements on the grounds are ral new Jivestock barns, now nearly completed. Tho fair will open on August 29 and close on Beptember 5. Bryan to Stump State. The executive committee of the populist party will meet in Lincoln next Wednes- day with Chairman Nelson and the fusion mominees for the purpose of selecting a secretary of the state committee. The lo- cation of state headquarters in Omaha will also be discussed and probably de- termined at that tim: It is announced by the fusion campaign leaders that W. J. Bryan will join the spelibinders and tour the state during the months of September and October. It bas not been decided whether or not he 1s to bave the luxury of a speclal train, but owing to its expemse it is more than likely that he will be placed on an equal footing with the other fusion orators. Secretary of St Marsh has decided to avold any possible dispute over claims by having the proposed constitutional amend- ment published only in weekly newspapers. “I have certified a copy of the amend- ment to ome weekly newspaper in each county, and the total cost of the a Ing, o8 I estimate it, will be between 36,000 PER-FO IS THE GREAT HOT WEATHER FOOD and $7,000," sald Mr. Marsh. “That will be about the only cost connected with the submission of the amendment. There s such a wide difference of opinion as to the publication of the amendment In the dally newspapers that I resolved to restrict its publication to the weekly periodicals, so that there will be no trouble and no dispute over the matter.” Summer School Clowes. The summer sesslon of the University of Nebraska closed today and there will be no further work dome at the institution until the regular school year opens on Sep- tember 16. The enrollment at the session was approximately 250, about the same as |last year. The first work of the mext school year will be examinations and reg- istration, which will continue from Septem- ber 16 to 20. The class work of the first semester will begin on Monday, Septem- ber 20, The term of the law school will begin simultaneously with that of the other col- leges, instead of two weeks later, as has been customary in the past. In keeping with this change the university authori- ties have also arranged to have the grad- uation exercises of the law division on the same day with the academic nd in- dustrial colleges. The supreme court and commiesion now | has 120 cases under consideration. During the months of June and July more than the usual number of decisfoms were de- livered, but this was largely because a small volume of new businels was taken on. It ls estimated that the court and | commission together will be able to dis- ose of all cases filed prior to January 1, 1903, betore the terms of the commissionors expire. Attorney Genmeral Prout, Auditor Weston and Land Commissioner Follmer yesterday | attended a pienic given by the Woodmen of America at Hebron. About 5,000 people ‘were present. Articles of incorporation of the Hamp- ton Mill and Grain company of Hampton, Hamllton county, were recorded in the sec- Tetary of state's office today.

Crowell, an elderl woman of this place, was found in Logan ereek below Lyons at noon today by Ben Ev- erett.

A search for the missing woman was started the day following her disappearance and resulted today in the traglc discovery. Coroner E. J. C. Swartz impaneled a jury and held an inquest, the verdiet of which was that Mrs. Crowell came to her death by drowning, which drowning was brought about with sulcidal intent. Bloodhounds belonging to J. B. Fulton of Beatrice were set upon the trall and had traced it to the creek where the body was found shortly after. Mrs. Crowell had been in ill-health for some time and it is belleved her mind be- came deranged through suffering. She was a member of one of the oldest Nebraska families.

SHICKLEY, Neb., July 25.—To the Ed- itor of The Bee: I recently was shown some sketches of the life of Hon. John H. Mickey, republjcan candidate for goy- ernor, published by yow; and being per- sonally well acquainted with him I would Iike to add a little more. We were ralsed within three miles of each other, were ralsed together, attended rmy to- the same day, in the same com- we slept, ate, marched, foraged, fought, and came home together. I ate supper with him at his father's the night we got home, and I think I know him as well as though he were a brother, and in all our acquaintance I mever heard him use profane nor vulgar language, mor use intoxicating drinks, mor play & game of cards, either for fun or money. He never refused to do duty when well; was al- ways ready and willing, and did his duties well, and it elected goverpor he will con- duet the office in & strictly business man- ner. His adminlstration will be one of honor to him and a eredit to the state. This is no idle gush, but a plain statement of facts, as they appear to me from my long acquaintance with him. W. H. LEE.

Mr. James' paper will be found not only of unusual interest but should also be of real value to all who are in any way concerned with the public schools. USTER'S LAST FIGHT in the memory of people. None who have aided In the bullding up of the great western em- pire will ever forget that terrible day, when a gallant cavalry leader and a whole battalion of one of the crack regiments of the United States army were obliterated beneath a wa: of savagery.

There are almost countless numbers of remedies said to cure chronic catarrh. ~The most of these are of no use whatever and worse than useless, being actually harmful. A few are successtul in a small number of | cases—those which are 'very slight and | easily curable—cases which might perhaps get well by simply taking care not to catch cold again. But of all the vast multitudes of medi- FRANK SHERMAN, clnes, it cannot be said that there are more than two or three which are actually spe- cifics, and without doubt the most reliable is Peruna. It always cures when faithtully and consclentiously used. It mot omly | cures catarrh of the head and throat, but | catarrh of the stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, bronchial tubes, lungs, and, in fact, any of the organs of the human body. It is indeed a dreadful case of catarrh, wherever located, that Peruna canmot cure, or at least greatly help. It may be pro- cured at all the drug stores and it should be given & faithful trial by those who have tried in vain elsewhere to get relief.
