THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: \FD!PROIISE IN TAXATION Lincola Franchised Oorporation Forces a Reduotion in Valuation. GOVERNOR MICKEY OFFERS KANSAS AID — Regular Army Officer Who Has Been Nat I Guard Ob- to Faellitios for (From a Btaft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, June 15—(Special.)—The Lin- coln Gas and Electric Light: company did not make good today on its threat to bring & halt hundred prominent Lincoln people before the City Board of Equalization to show cause why ita personal assessments \sliould not be raised. Instead it sent its attorney up and requested a compromise. The tax commissioner had returned it at 450,000 and the company was willing to pay upon $30,000. The traction company was Feturned at $065,000 and the company wanted & reductien to 340,00, The telephone com- pany was down for $20,000, but wanted 100,000, The counci]l committee agreed upon $350,- 000 for the gns company, $600,000 for the, traction company and $1%5,000 for the tele- phone company. The traction company in- sisted, however, that its offer to pay upon $600,000 valuation was contingent upon the gas company paying upon $460,000, and after a long wrangle the following were agreed upon as the proper amounts: Lincoln Traction Lincoin Gas and Bl any Npuhrlnkl Telep! The council has had a big row and long Iitigation every year since the actual val- uation plan went into effect in Lincoln with thege three companies, and some of thess sults are still pending in court. The board was glad to get out of one this year by compromising, As compared with last year the traction company has been in- creased $210,000 in valuation, the gas com- pany $50,000, while the telephone assess- ment remains the same. Governor Offers Ald. Governor Mickey this morning indited a Jetter to Governor Balley of Kansas in- quiring as to the needs of the flood suffer- ers In that state and offering to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of Nebraska to contribute to their aid If the governor of Kansas thought it necessary or destrable. It was the governor's intention to issue the proclamation without making inquiries, but the recently published differences in the views of Pension Commissioner Ware and Governor Balley led him to take the safe side of the proposition. He sald he @14 not care to offend state pride and there- fore couched his letter in most diplomatic terms. Governor Bafley is quoted as hav- ing sald that outside ald was imperative, and a general call may follow. Both Omaha and Lincoln have made generous donations, and the sentiment seems to be that so long as there is any need for payment of sup- plies, food and clothing, ald should be sup- plied. It is likely, however, that the plan to contribute to & fund to repair property losses will not be popular in Nebraska. Land Commissioner Files Report. him the right to collect fees for such serv- ices. The board of purchase and supplies, one of the important organs of the state gov- ernment, during the last six months has entafled an expense of $56.75 upon the state for all its varied services In doing the state’s shopping. This board makes pur- chases aggregating thousands of dollars. There is & total of §160.20 to the credit of this expense account out of the sum total SKIN-TORTURED BABIES And Tired, Frened Mothers Find Comfort In Guticara Soap and Olntment When All Other Remedies and Physicians Fail Instant rellef and refreshing sleep for skin-tortared bables and rest for tired, worried mothers In warm baths with Cuticars Sosp, and gentle anolnt- mgs with Cuticura Olntment, purest of emollient skin cures, to be followed in severe cases by mild doses of Cuticurs Resolvent.

During the time the department has turned the considerable sum of $57.88 Into the treas- ury. This amount was taken in for filed notes made by the state's draughtsmen, while $75 was received for the rental of penitentiary lands and $100 for the rent of lands at the burned Norfolk asylum. Investigates & Little, Chiet Clerk Mickey of the governor's office is back from Milford, where he went to investigate some discrepancies between the statements of the state Institutions there as to their cash balances and those | as reported from the auditor's office. Mr. Mickey found that it was due to the differ- ence in bookkeeping between the auditor's office and that émployed in the two state Institutions at Milford. He will have the matter straightened out in a few days. Trying a Damage Oase. The Western Travelers' Accident asso- clation of Omaha is defendant in a suit begun before Judge Cornish this morning, in which Hays B. Tomson of Lincoin, a former traveling man. is plaintiff. Tomson claims $,00 on an insurance policy for permanent disability. He says he was driving between Bruno and Prague on a cold day a year and a half ago and the team ran across some plowed ground. Hemorrhage of the brain resulted and death is slowly creeping upon him. His attorney insisted upon trying the case now because he feared his client would be dead before fall. The defense is that plaintift's dis- ablility is paresis, which is a constitutional aliment, not causable by any sort of in- Jury such as is alleged, and that therefore it was not because of an accident. Will Try to Raise Funds. The Union-Commercial club bas been torn up over the question of a new location. The board of directors has fixed on the Auditorfum corner, where vacant ground can be leased indefinitely, but a strong minority opposes the location. At a meeting of the board of directors today a committee, comiposed of C. O. Whedon, I. M. Raymond, 8. H. Burnham, Homer Honeywell and B. F. Pettls, who comprise the principal objectors, was ap- pointed to solicit $10,000 for the purpose of buying grounds. If this sum cannot be raised, the Auditorium corner will be se- lected. The appointment of the committee was a clever scheme to make the objectors Tealizse that a free site was the only solu- tion of the difficulty. State Bank Repeorts. The reports from state banks for the banks of the state are in excellent condi- tion. This is the period of the year when deposits are on the Increase because of a certain cessation of business in agricultural communities, but the returns being re- ceived now are considered extraordinarily 800d, even when allowance is made for this tendency. One of the attaches of the department sald this morning that the prospects are g00d for a first-class report. This bears the statement frequently made that the banking interests of the state have at fear that it might lead to opposition of parties living near the chosen spot. Adjutant General Culver of the National Guard has installed in his main office & register whereln officlal military visitors to department headquarters are expected to record their visita It gives the date, name, rank, station, residence and Lin- coln address of each official visitor who calls at headquarters. Deputy Labor Commissioner Bush s re- celving reports from the various counties on their agricultural statistics as pro- vided by the county assessors In making up thelr books. Heretofore assessors have been encountered who did not deem It any part of their duty to comply with the law which was intended to require them to complile and furnish to the labor bureau statistics concerning the acréage of the state planted to various crops and such other facts as bear upon the agricultural prosperity and development of the state. Last year the commissioner secured com- plete reports irom all but five counties. They were Phelps, Knox, Saline, Deuel and McPherson counties. The assessors of Phelps county were especially determined in thelr attitude of opposition to the re- quirements of the measure, but since that time & Lancaster county test case has up- held the validity of that provision of the law which requires assessors to take the figures contemplated and provides for get- ting them into the hands of the labor bureau. As a resuit Phelps county was one of the first to get its completed report Into the hands of the labor commissioner, so that the aggregate report, as made up by the commissioner this year will be more complete and accurate than those of for- mer years. The last regular session of the supreme court for the current term will convene tomorrow. There will probably be one ses- sion later to enable the court to dispose of accumulated businees before the summer wacation, which will close the work of the court until the fall term bDegins about Beptember 15 Twe Suits for Damages.

STRICT DISCIPLINE IS ENFORCED Some of the Boys Co r Fallure to Appear med to Camp n Full Uniform in Town Yes- ¥. CAMP CULVER, AUBURN, Neb, June ~(Bpecial Telegram.)—The High school cadets are still enjoying most excellent weather. All drlll was omitted yesterday excepting the morning and evening parade and guard mount. The cadets have a large green fleld adjoining the camp in which to drill and the dress parades here are most creditable. Over $00 town folks filled the srandstand during the parade yesterday evening. Mr. Willis held morning and aftbrnoon service yesterday In camp at the Young Men's Christian assoclation headquarters and all the cadets attended morning serv- ices here or In the town churches. Yester- day all the battalion and commissioned officers ate dinner at the Byres hotel. The remainder of the cadets ate in camp. Captain Higgins is officer of the day for today. A number of the cadets are confined to camp today because of appearing In town without full uniform. No cadet 1s allowed to leave the camp without full uniform. Three doctors, under the supervision of Dr. Kern, are looking after the sanitary conditions of the camp and the welfare of the boys, but as yet their services have not been required except for cases of sun- burn. A number of Nebraska City girls and a few Omaha people visited the boys in camp yesterday, but the main body of visitors will come tomorrow when the excursion will be run to Auburn from Omaha. Strict guard is being kept over camp and no cadet is allowed out after taps at 10 p. m. Breakfast this morning consisted of stewed, beef, prunes, potatoes, eggs, coffee and bread. The cadets will return Wed- nesday afternoon. Adding to Tax Rolls. FREMONT, Neb., June 15.—(Special)— The county board is still sitting as a board of equalization and has a lot of un- finished business before it. C. 8. Starmer of Webster falled to convince the board that elghty head of cattle in his posses sion on April 1 were not taxable. Moses Starmer of Webster was also put down on the roll for 120 head. The assessment of Scott Wall was also raised. This after- noon a number of Fremont people who have bought automobiles this spring are up to show cause why their machines should not be taxed and will undoubtedly have thelr assessments increased by one auto- moblle each. There have been but few changes made In real estate, but quite a TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1903. The St. Louls Woman's club is about to move into a clubhouse of its own, July 1 having been set as the date for the cele- bration of the event—and it s to be a cele- bration, toc, one that promises to be a so- cial affalr of more than ordinary conse- quence. The club includes among its mem- bership of 20 some of the city's most tashicnable women, Mrs. James Blair among others. As a member has expressed it, “some are deep thinkers and others orly brilllant butterfiies.” The clubhouse is one of the old St. Louls mansions and 1s located out on Washington avenue in a res‘ful, quiet nelghborhood that is still easily mccessible. The rooms are spacious and the interfor finished In walnut and mirrors that extend from floor to celling. The furnishings are massive and rich, after the fashion of that period of sub- stantial comfort. There are in all twent: o0dd rooms, the first floors being admirably arranged for a clubhouse, the drawing rooms opening together in an ideal assem- bly salon, and on the opposite side of the hall there is a parlor and dining room. In addition to these, and a plan that savors strongly of the soclal, is a ballroom to be erected on the rear of the lot. It will be 100 feet long and forty feet wide and is to cost §10,000. It will connect with the drive- way through a porte cochere and will be, when completed, the finest baliroom in St Louls, which is saying much. Upstairs there are large rooms, 16x22 feet, that are to be used as clubrooms and meeting places for the various literary clubs that may rent them for assembly occasions. All together the clubhouse promises to be an ideal one, one of which St. Louis club- women may well be proud when they come to entertain the blennial of the General Federation next spring. p It s recorded of the women's clubs of Memphis, Tenn., that their work has been of a most practical mature and that nu- merous public philanthropic and other in- stitutions stand to their credit, such as the handsome new city hospital, a home for aged men and another for aged women, kindergartens, day nurseries and numerous other things of like value. While this is indeed an enviable list of achlevements, it is after all nothing especially unusual, ex- cepting that the women of Memphis are especially fortunate in having gained the co-operation of the municipal authorities and others that has made it possible to carry out their pla To the observing person it is an old story, for wherever the woman's club is found is found also an effort at least to establish such provision for the comfort and well-being of the de- pendent. There are scores of cities and towns over the country that boast similar institutions and many others, for which they are indebted to their women's elub, and besides all of these, there is the score of popular movements rapidly gaining prestige and Influence, many of which have had thelr origin, and all their chief source little personalty has been discovered and put on the roll Fraternal Memorial Day. LEIGH, Neb., June 15.—(Special.)—Yester- day was observed here as memorial day by Odd Fellows and Modern Woodmen of America. Joint services were held at the opera house at 2:30 p. m. and largely at- tended. Rev. J. F. Smith of Leigh de- livered an interesting and logical address. The Leigh band and the Congregational church choir furnished music for the ocea- sion. After the services at the opera house the two orders and their friends marched to the cemetery, led by the band, where the graves of the deceased brothers and neigh- bors were strewn with flowers. It was probably the most generally observed lodge memorial dey ever known in Leigh. Agree to Disagree. TABLE ROCK, Neb., Jupe 15.—(Special) —People here were treated to a genuine sur- prise the past week in the separation of Frank Dobrovolny and his wife, Mary Dobrovolny, wealthy Bohemians, living a short distance east of town. The husband deeded property and pald money to the amount of some 35600 to the wife and to & trustee for the use of the two daughters, about § and 6 years old. Articles of sepa- ration were drawn up and signed and the w with the two little girls left for the home of her parents in Bollvar, Mo., while the husband remains here in charge of his | lands, to which she renounced by deed all her claim of dower. Finish Corn Planti; YORK, Neb., June 15.—(Special)—Last week the farmers of York county finished replanting corn. Many have plowed corn once over and are commencing to plow the second time. Winter wheat, of which there 18 an acreage of about 30 per cent of the cultivated land, is looking fine, with the exception of a few pleces on low ground. Oats is making a fine growth and alfalfa is also in fine condition. Many have finished cutting the first crop. K. of P. Memorial Service. HUMBOLDT, Neb., June 15.—(Special.)— The Knights of Pythias observed their an- nual decoration services In memory of de- parted brothers at their hall in this ecity yesterday afternoon. A fitting program was rendered at the hall and then the members of the local lodge marched In a body to the cemetery. The Odd Fellows held a similar service at the same hour at the Presbyterian church, an address being delivered by L. Channel of Omaha. Preaches Farewell Sermon. HUMBOLDT, Neb., June 15.—(Special)— Rev. J. N. H. Cobb yesterday preached his farewell sermon to his Humboldt congrega- tion, & good sized crowd being In attend- ance. He expects to leave within a few days for Tulsa, I T., where he will resume | his work by taking the pastorate of the Methodist church. The local pulpit will be filled until conference by Prof. B. L. Whitman of the Wesleyan university at Lincoln. June 15.—(Special Tele- gram.)—A. L. Johnson, manager of the Crete mills, returned yesterday from Cal- ifornia, where he has been for his health for the last five months. He immediately started a large force of men to rebullding | the lower dam, which was taken out by | the high water a few weeks ago. A force of men will be kept at work day and BEATRICE, Ned., June 15—(Special)— About 2000 people witnessed the unvelling | of a Woodmen of the World monument here yesterday. Rev. G. H. Schieh of Omaha made the address In the evening. Mr Schieh preached at the First Congrega- tional church. Crete Observes Flag Day. CRETE, Neb., June, li—Special Tele- gram.)—Flag day and Declaration day were Jolntly celebrated in Crete today. All stores were closed from 1 untll 4 p. m. Captain Ashby of Beatrice delivered the memorial address to an opera house full of patriotic pevple. Pythians Observe Memorial YORK, Neb., June 15 —(Special)-Mem- orial services were heid yesterday morning | Henry Shriner, Dougla: by the Knights of Pythias at the Fraternal ball. After the services at the hall they marched to Greenwood cemetery and deco- rated the Aves of Lhs deceased membecs of agitation, in the women's organizations. Among these are the Consumers’ league, juvenile courts, legislation for abolishing or controlling child labor, civie improve- ment, the preservation of historic places and of native forests, the establishment of librarfes and museums, legislation for pure food and other things equally vital to the well-being of the people. In fact, there are few citles or villages, and even the rural communities are rapidly being in- cluded, that have not similar achievements that are the outgrowth of the organized effort of the women's &lubs. Thére will be a union meeting of the Presbyterian women's missionary socleties of the city held at the SBecond Presbyterian church on June 24. The park commissioners have assumed the responsibility of the flower garden on the lot next to the public library, started last spring by the city improvement eom- mittee of the Woman's club. At the recent meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance union $60 was voted to be expended for temperance literature. This is to be circulated about the city among the fire engine houses, Salvation Army headquarters and workingmen's hotel, Volunteers' headquarters, and some left with the ministers for distribution. The next meeting of the union will be educational and will be conducted by the franchise department under the superin- tendence of Mrs. Patterson. The income from the high school lunch stops with the close of school, but the financial condition of the union is good and the summer work will be carried on as usual. The member- ship is larger at present than for some time and the condition of the organization more generally prosperous. —— Very Near a Crime, To allow constipation to polson your body.

EYES NOT ALL ESSENTIAL TO HAPPINESS Sorely Affiicted Mam Points Out How Much of Brightaess Life May Heart Willlam H. Gregg, a graduate of the Ne- braska Institute for the Blind, has written | a book entitled “Secrets of Fate Unlocked, or From Possibility to Reality,” which he affectionately dedicates to his deceased wife. Mr. Gregg was born In Winona county, Minnesots, in September, 1867, and without sight. As a child he was a great lover of nature, and though deprived of that faculty which to those who see seems 50 essential to its enjoyment, his happlest hours were passed in the woods, for he could hear the birds sing and enjoy the | perfume of the flowers and the sweet, pure alr. In his book he pleads for a closer communion with and a more general study of nature, believing that this would induce a higher and purer standard of lving. | With a mind close in accord with high | ideals and an uniimited amount of courage and perseverance, this man has accom- plished much, not only along educational | lines, but in the more material things of this lite, for as a scholar and a business man he has been eminently successful The great desire of his Itfe now is to in- fluence others to a higher and more noble ambition, and a thoughtful reading of his | accomplishments will inspire, not only | those who are unfortunate, but all to stop | nothing short of the highest realization of their ideals and hopes. Misfortunes never come singly, and Mr. Gregg was no exception. When a small boy he was carrying an armful of wood across an ice pond and slipped, dislocating his right shoulder. It was thirty-five miles to the nearest physiclan. His parents thought it simply a sprain and treated it by bathing, etc., as is usua! in those cases, but the effects were permanent and he has also from that time been partially disabled | in this way. Not a Book of Sermons. In February, 189, Mr. Gregg delivered an address before the Lincoln High school for which he received the heartiest en- dorsement and highest praise from instruct- ors, parents and students. Instructors and parents appreciating the influence his help- ful thoughts and suggestions would have over the students, and the students inspired and spurred to a more determined effort by a knowledge of what he, tholgh blind, had accomplished, resolved to strike the word ‘“can't” from thelr vocabularies. One must not get the idea that tne book sermonizes, on the contrary, it is enter- taining as it is helpful. Speaking of the pecullar conception the blind has of, even to those who see, the most common things Mr. Gregg says his first idea of the sun was that it must be a very large lamp hung in the sky, though it puzzled him to imagine what held it up.

C., late superintendent and physiclan in charge of state Insane asylum at Columbia, 8. C., writes ‘‘After using your Peruna myself for short period, and my family having used and are now using the same with good results, and upon the information of others who have been benefited by | it as a cure for catarrh and an invigor- | ating tonic, | can cheerfully recommend 'sons requiring so effective a Dr. J. F. Ensor. Hon. C. W. Butts, ex-member of conress from North Dakota, in a letter from Washe ington, D. C,, says: “That Peruna is not only a vigorous, as well as an effective tonic, but also a cure of catarrh Is beyond controversy. It is already established by its use by the thou- sands who have been benefited by it. 1 cannot too highly express my apprecia- tion of its excellence.”—C. W. Butts. Dr. R. Robbins, Muskogee, I. T., writes: “Peruna is the best medicine I know of for coughs and to strengthen a weak stom- | ach and to give appetite. Beside prescrib- ing it for catarrh I have ordered it for weak and debllitated people and have not had a patient but sald it helped him. It is an excellent medicine and it fits so many cases. ° have a large practice and have a chance to prescribe your Peruna. 1 hope you may live long to do good to the sick and suffering.” Only the weak need a tonic. People are never weak except from some £00d caus One of the obscure causes of weakness and | the one oftenest overlooked is catarrh. Catarrh inflames the mucous membrane and causes the blood .plasma to escape through the mucous membrane in the form of mucus. This discharge of mucus is the same as the loss of blood. woakness. remedy. Peruna stops the catarrh and prevents the discharge of mucus. This is why Pe- runa is called a tonic. Peruna does not give strength by stimulating the nervous system a little, It gives strength by preserving the mu- cous membranes against leakage. It gives strength by converting the blood flulds and preventing their draining away in mucous discharges, Constant spitting and blowing the nose will finally produce extreme weakness from the loss of mucus. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

In 157, the mother having died & few months previous, his father moved the family to Pleasant Hill, Neb. The coming to a prairie country, after having always been accustomed to a wooded one, was quite a noveity and a great change even to this sightiess lIad. From then te the pres- et time Mr. Gregg has spent a large por- tion of the time in Nebraska, and is well known In the leading towns of the state. He entered the Nebraska State Institution for the Blind at Nebraska City November 21, 1877, and was graduated with the class of 188. This was the first class to be grad- vated from the insttution and the class motto was “From Possibility to Reality.” One has only to read his book to discover with what perfection he has attained the fullest realization of this motto. Mr. Gregg has . traveled much, and the reader has the benefit of his experfences, fogether with the descriptions of the dif- ‘teernt portions of the country, the manners and customs of the people, etc. Under the title, “What I Saw in Wind Cave,” he de- scribes a vielt made to Wind Cave, in the Black Hills, and by his word picture one is BAE IR IDN0 OET I0ER 08 N0 S0 SN0 G0N NS LMK SNY ISNS MR 8! ks almost made to see the wierd beauties of its interior.

Contents the Book. The book also contains chapters on “Hints on BEducation,” “Education of the Blind," “Character Bullding,” “Concerning Helen Keller” and “The Pinnacle of Fame,” also an Instructive chapter on “The Education of the Deaf.”” In his ramblings Mr. Gregg has often been asked many questions re- garding those who have lost one or more of the taculties, and he has taken these ques- tions and his answers and out of them woven & very instructive chapter for those who love to consider the causes, whys and wherefores. Another feature of the book that deserves especial mention is a sermon by Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, the text for which was taken from Isalah 33:23 “The lame take the prey.” In this sermon the afficted are offered consolation and com- fort, and every one ls reminded of a re- sponsibility to make good use of whatever talent they may possess. Mr. Gregg Is very much In efrnest in his desire to help others and every page of his book breathes a spirit of resignation to the Divine will. He says: “Though I am unfortunate in the world, and notwith- standing that it is darkness to me, yet I, with many of my unfortunate brothers and sisters, look forward to & better land than this, where there are no such obstacles to encounter, where we will stand on an equality. There we, too, shall see the glit- tering streets and the bright shining lights of the New Jerusalem. There we will be- hold the radiant brightnees of our Creator and enjoy His presence during the cease- less years of eternity.” Bee the daring Friese brothers, acrobats and barrel jumpers, st Courtland Beach.
