PERJURY IN DIVORCE CASE Judge Day Btops the Trial to Oall in the Oounty Attorney. SAYS SOME OF THE WITNESSES LIED Testimony is So Directly Contradie- tory, Ob ves the Oourt, that All of the Witnesses Conld Not Be Truthfal, Judge Day has decided that somebody has Med under oath in the Wemmer divorce suit and stated yosterday from the benoh that | e proposes to call the county attorney into | tain 1t there cannot be & then prosecu- the case and asce thorough Investigation and tion by the state for perjury. Fernando Wemme nsked Alvorce from Jane, alleging that she deserted him in Jan- wary, 1899. She In turn filed an answer and eross bill, alleging that he drove her from his home by hie cruel demeanor and nsking that she be granted the divorce and also alimony. Tn the course of the proceedings yesterday morning two of the witnesses testified to certain immoral conduct on the part of one of the parties, and another witness as spe eifically denied that thers had been such conduct and asserted, on the stand that the other witnesses hind been paid to testi they did. The judge stopped the proceed- ings and safd: “1 hardly know what the court can do with such a case as this when there 18 such total contradiction of fmportant testimony. It seems to me that there must be perjury bere, and I believe I had best call in the ecounty attorney and see what can be done about it. For the present we will proceed Do further with the hearing.” One of the attorneys admitted to the judge that “some of the witnesses must have lied deliberately and purposely,” and expressed a perfect willingness to have the matter probed. There are more than a dozen parties in- terested In the case, and among the wit- nesses Is Agnes Stevenson, who failed to come in answer to her subpoena and had to be sent for with an attachment for con- tempt. PROSPECTIVE LOW TAX RATE Tax Comminsioner Fleming Extimates on the Ra of New An- sessment. “It the present assessments are allowed to stand the total taxation per $1,000 in Omaha for state, county and city purposes, including the schools, will be $12.04," sald Tax Commissioner Fleming yesterday. “This proportion i among the lowest in the country for cities of similar size and population and is based on the hypothesis that the same amount of money will be raised for 1903 as was provided for 1502.", The tax commissioner has prepared a statement showing the percentage of city and school taxes in relation to the full valuation of all taxable property in thirteen cities nearest to the same population as Omaha. It shows this ofty with the lowest percentage, or 1.2 per cent. The figur used are those of 1002. As assessed at pre ent for 1903, the percentege will drop to .87. The comparative statement for 1802 1s as follows GEORGE WASHINGTON'S QUEUB. It'Hid a Luxuriant Suit of Straigh and Very Dark Ha /The Father of his Country concealed a luxuriant suit of hair beneath his queue wig. Many now wish the old fashion were ‘in vogue, to conceal thinned hair or bald- ness. 'Yet no one need have thin hair nor be bald, if he cure the dandruff that causes both. Dandruft cannot be cured by scour- ing the scalp, because it is a germ disease, and the germ has to be killed. Newbro's Herplelde kills the dandruft germ—no other hair preparation will. “Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.”” There is no cure for dandruff but to kill the germ.

Aecording to General Manager Bidwell of the Fromont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley rallroad, the bame of that line will be changed as a result of the recent absorp- tion by the Chicago & Northwestern rail- way. Mr. Bidwell has ye: received abso- | lutely no orders to this eftect, nor sny an- nouncement of any kind relating to the change, but he expects such & move. “The name of the line probably will be changed,” sald Mr. Bidwell. “That means | the relettering of the cars, new stationery, blanks, transportation evidences, advert |ing. In tact, numberless alterations will be necessitated by the change of mame. I have no notion when it will begin, nor have I been notified that it will take place, but | it probably will be done.” Speculation s rampant in railroad circles and especially around Elkhorn headquar- ters s to what the now name will be. It 1s agreed that all evidences of the present lengthy title will be abolished. But the question 1s, Will the new name to be used be “The Northwestern System’ or “The Chicago & Northwestern raflway” or any other of a number of posaibilities. If the \dentity of the Elkhorn road is to be en- tirely lost In that of the parent stem the | name probably will be simply an extension of the present “Chicago & Nnnhvumrn{ raliway.” This was done in the case of the Sfoux City & Pacifio, which when ab- | sorbed a short time ago merely lost its identity and became a part of the road, and | bas not since been known apart from it. | But the Sfoux Oity & Pacific was in no | way aifferentiated from the rest of the road by location, while the Elkhorn s dis- tinetly apart from the Northwestern proper, being across the Missourl river. Other railroad systems have invariably followed | the plan of keeping their lines east and west of the Missouri separate both in name | and in reality. There {8 the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quiney east of the river and the B. & M. west. And when the Rock Island acquired its line west of the river they were named the “Chicago, Rock Jsland & Pacific lines west of the Missouri river.” This title still obtains.

The first indication of the complste ab- orption of the Fremont, Elkhorn & M) sourf Valley rafiroad by the Chioago & Northwestern system and the removal of all managerial power to Chicago comes in connection with the present campaign of the conduetors and trainmen of the west for certaln concessions from their roads.

BUSY IN JOBBING DISTRICT Buyers from Surr ing Country Come to Omaha for Sprin Gooda. The first of the spring trade excursions in the Omaha territory s now in full swing and retail merchants from all parts of the west are in the city inspecting stocks and buying goods. This {s particularly true ot the military and dry goods lines. Last y more people visited the jobbing distriot than ever before and this year the number is increased. Jobbers say that the best feature of the trade this spring is the class of goods that is being purchased, more people belng on the market for opening stocks than were expected. Many new fnces are seen from | territory which heretofore bas been con- | sidered tributary to other jobbing polnts, particularly Chicago, as Omaha merchants are extending thelr trade into Iowa well toward the Mississippl river and much South Dakota trade which heretofore went to St. Paul and Minneapolls is purchasing in this oity.
