RAINS ON THE STATE FAIR M s e coposn "srom st va tates the Postponement of Races and Fraternal Day Exercises NEW REVENUE LAW CAUSING TROUBLE State Board is Worried Over the Pro- visfon Rew: 4 pointment of a retary, ‘ (From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Bept. 8.—(Special.)—Beveral hundred women and men dragged and slopped through the mud and water at the State Fair grounds today in a gentle down- pour that continued most of the day. It ‘wasn't a hard rain, but it was hard enough to keep people In their rooms and to knock to smithereens the day's program at the falr. The races were declared off and the drills were postponed until tomorrow morn- ing. It was Fraternity day and enough of the brothers and sisters were In Lincoln to swell the crowd to regular fair proporions, but most of these spent the day on the #treets and in their rooms, possibly 3,000 or 4,000 going to the grounds, but there there ‘was nothing doing, even the streamers over the midway had been taken down. The people just siopped around, carrying mud and water from one place to another, with no particular objegt in view, The crowd was not in the best of humor, for the women folks wore their best dresses | and thelr newest badge decorations, and the arili teams came in all the glory of thelr uniforms. The rain made the town take on regular metropolitan airs, for the #treets were crowded and the merchants did a thriving business. The weather man has promised good weather for tomorrow. Trouble Over Secretaryship. Among other things now Is the selection ©f & secretary to the State Board of Equal- ization to fill the office created when the last legislature created the five-member board. The new law requires that the sec- Tetary be selected at the meeting of the bodrd to be held in December. This, hows ever, will work a hardship on the secre- tary, as he will be compelled to prepare for almost immediate use blanks of impor- tance to the assessors. At this time the board is serlously con- sidering declding on some one for the place and giving him to understand. that he s to ‘b. appolrited and then allowing him to L 1 ahead, famillarize himself with the work and get ready to issue the blanks. This Beems about the only way to get the work up according to law. At this time several names are mentions? fu connection with the place, among then. being former County Clerk Persinger of Central City, former Senator Reynolds of Chadron, Boutherland of Burt county and Bookkeeper Bennet of the auditpr's office. The latter is not sure that he would take the place f it was to be tendered him, as it pays only $1,600 a year, The secretary will be the most responsible man on the board and upon his judgment to & great extent the board will rely, con- sequently great care will be used by the board In making the selections He will have charge of all the books, issue the calls for the meetings and will do most of everything the board has to do. Greeme Sees Somethy R. J. Greene, the-héad of a crowd of poll- ticlans known as “Guerrillas,” by the so. called machine, today issued a public cir- cular to the newspapers here telling every- body that Eimer Steph-§->n and /Bud Lindsey rouhld'l‘nbw" It at the hands Of the state committee last night in that Lindsey was not placed on the executive committee. Burkett Goes to Ohfo. To oftset the eloquence of Mr. Bryan in Ohlo, Congressman Burket will make a tour of that state in October, standing up for the republican nominees and platform. Mr. Burkett is In receipt of a letter from Benator Hanna and Chairman Dick of the ©Ohlo state committee Inviting him to speak there during the campalgn. The letter from Mr. Hanna stated that Mr. Burkett ‘would be of much assistance, in, the elec- tion of the ticket. Mr. Burkett has accepted the Invitation and will go to Ohlo some time in October, giving the Nebraska republican state committee the first call on his tim Mr. Burkett {s pleased to go to Ohlo be- oause of the great service done the ticket in Nebraska by Senator Hanna during the last presidential campaign. “The republi- cans of Nebraska will not soon forget the work of Senator Hanna,” he sald. “He came here when matters looked critical for Preaident McKinley and did valuable work At great personal Inconvenlence. Senator Hanna is again a candidate and I am happy to reciprocate by assisting as much as I Am able to help him secure a re-election.” ‘Call for State Warrants, . Btats Treasurer Mortenson today issued @ call for §50,00 worth of state warrants, The numbers are from 91606 to 91961 Plans for Normal Chapel. Buperintendent Fowler has recelved the plans and specifications for the building of the new chapel at the Peru normal school for which $43,000 was appropriated by the - last leglalature. The plans were prepared by George ¥. Berlinghof of Beatrice, who / _suarantees that the bullding will not cost A than $8,000. The outside measure- its will be 84x110 feet and the basement be made into & gympastum with a bath and lockers for the use of the The seating capacity will be 900 e main floor and 400 in the gallery. old chapel seated 600.

Labor Commissioner Bush will have a sont blanks to the proper officers and these are now being returned to the office. Of thoes returned the Modern Woodman stands at the head of the lst in point of membership and local organizations. This order has 44254 members in the state, di- ¥ided into 04 locals. Becretary Royce of the State Banking board has lssued a call for bank statements at the close of business on September 5. The call was mailed this morning. Cellege Boys Do Well. . Fred Taylor, one of the three New York boys fresh from college who were sent to the barvest flelds by the labor commis- sioner, has written to the office that he and his companions are now employed on & ranch near Ellsworth and are dolng well and are happy. They went through the rious farmers in the state who have writ- ten the labor bureau, a majority said the college students were far the best farm workers they had employed. One man wrote that the boys were unable to do as much work in a day as the old harvest hands, but that they did as much as they could and were consclentious in their work, and they were not onto the ways of the shirker. -All of the eastern boys sent out by the labor bureau have given satisfac- tion and most of them are still at work. M mus the Mayor. Representative McClay's bill to require the mayor of the city of Lincoln to ap- point a board to examine plumbers, to comprise & plumbing inspector, the health officer, one journeyman plumber and one master plumber, has been the cause of Mayor Adams being the defendant in a suit to compel him to make the appoint- ments. A writ of mandamus was applied for this morning by Willlam P. Heath, who was endorsed by the central labor union for a place on the board, to compel the mayor to appoint. Heretofore Mayor Adams has refused to act because he be- lleved the law was unconstitutional, The hearing has been set for September 17.

E OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, BEPTEMBER 1 I0WA IS GROWING RICHER Btate Troasurer's Report Shows a Burpris- ing Btate Balance. RECEIPTS ARE MORE THAN EXPECYED Collections Have Ineremssd ly—Good Results of Ool- Iateral Inheritance Taxes— ' Special Fu (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 9.—(Special.)—State Treasurer Gilbertson has just had printed his blennial report on the finances of the state, showing transactions up to June 30 last. The report makes an excellent show- ing as to the condition of the state of Iowa and of the growing cash balance to the credit of the state. The report is as follows: To His Excellency, Albert B. Cummins, Governor of Iowa: As required by section 107 of the code of 1537, T have the honor to submit herewith the biennial report of this department for the perlod from July 1, 1901, to June 30, 1903, exhibiting the amount of ‘cash reéceived and paid out by me as treasurer of state, and also showing the balance remaining In the treasury at the close of business June 30, 1%8. In giving this information I have followed the forms heretofore adopted, with slight variations, the transactions all being shown in detail and recapltulated. The reader will easily be enabled to make comparisons by using the tables of this and former reports. The volume of business transacted by this department continues the steady increase of former years. From all sources of reve- nue greater receipts are noted and the number of transactions multiplied. The Systematized records permit prompi dispo- sition of the business of the department. General Revenue, Conservative estimates by the several state departments and the committees on ways and means of the Twenty-ninth Gen- eral assembly as to probable receipts and disbursements, placed the cash balance in the treasury January 1, 1904, belonging to the general revenue, at between $200,000 and $300,000. Large recelpts from unexpected sources will make this balance nearer 1,00,000. The balance at the close of June 3 , was _$1,570,478.98. hnn‘y appropria- tions made by the Twenty-ninth General assembly have either not been drawn or 't to become avallable, and therefore much reduced The estimated receipts were much below the actual receipts. No such in- crease from the several sources was an- ticipated as is shown In the followin, Period End- Period End- Inc. ing June Bource. ), 1901, Countles ... $3,039,38 84, Corporation tax. 425,139 + 08 ........ 281,875 Inheritance tax.

The others show large increase: Those from miscellaneous receipts are counted for by the receipt from the United States government of the following: Refund civil war claim... Refund Spanish war claim. Refund Tama Indian quarantine Total . The Increase from corporation tax and collateral inheritance tax was not extra- ordinary, and yet considerably greater than estimated. Other Sources of Income, The Increase from fees of state officers was unusually large, amounting almost to ,000. This 18 accounted for to a large extent by the receipt by the secretary of state of two filings made in his office of fees lfl’NlMlnx about $145,000. T ncrease o counties is b support of county Inmates at si tions, About two-thirds s accredited to the former and one-third to the latter. Less than one-fourth of the total Increase is from direct taxes. Almost one-half is from the United States government re- funding amounts heretofore expended by the state for purp for which the gen- eral government was liable, The state auditor's warrants redeemed during the period amount to $6,761,264.79. This s an increase over the ,091.05. Of this, is on account of institutions under the Board of Control. This is principally accounted for in the completion of the insane hospital at Chero- kee, the expenditures for which during this period were $534,780.83, as against $31,- $2.81 during the preceding biennial term. The purchase of land for several of the institutions, amounting to $143,530.70, added to the above, together with new bulldings and the Increased cost of maintenance, affords an_explanation for the expenditures by the State Boar trol. The increase for state education: institutions 1is $113,024.21. The bal; distributed among numerous other expe; ditures. Tt will therefore be seen that the principal 1 e in expenditures is charged to our educational, eleemosynary and penal institutions, the two latter show- ing much the larger incres Collateral Inherftance Tax. The receipts from the collateral inher- itance tax continus gno of the_ principal sources of revenue. They rank fourth in importance among those that regularly contribute to the.state's income. Recelpts from counties, fees from state officers and corporation taxes ach exceed the recel from $35,200.22, o eding period. s, teral inheritance tax. tax wi W’K‘Q cent over the pi e Twenty-ninth General assembly made no change in the law relating to the col- lection of this tax, and the difficulties re- main as related in former reports. A bill was prepared by this department, its pro- visions belng approved by the attorney eneral, and it was introduced in both ranches of the last last general assembly. It was not designed to radically change the present statutes, but to make them conform to the decisions of the supreme court, where disputed points had been do- termined by that tribunal, and where they had not been so determined, to conform to the opinions of the attorney general In the house it was reported from the committee, but so changed that It was generally thought best not to pass it, and it was indefinitely postponed. The senate, gbserving the position taken by the house did not report the measure out of the committee. Law Not Equitably Eunforeed. While there is considerable revenue de- rived from this source, there is much i equity_existing, In the 'énforcement of the law. There aré counties in the state from which steady returns are made. 'he about \everything indicating that the o . adtorneys, 4 those generally co nected with the mettlement of estates, are in accord with the law and are nof en- Eaged in an attemct to evade its pro- visions. Tn other counties it is very appar- ent that the opposite is the case. Some counties, by r on of their long settlement and the wealth of their peopl rally contribute greater. sums to the treasury than those whose settlement is more recent, but In counties differing little in_this resplut there should not be the difference shown on our records. Delin auencies are often discovered caused by ignorance of the law. Attorneys in charge of estates often admit of this. Bome of the officers charged with enforcement make simflar admissions. Probably the princi cause ix that no point can safely be termined unless one is thoroughly familiar with the whole law and the several de- cisions of the supreme court. The same aquestion 1s dealt with In successive acts of the legislature, besides n set of rules promulgated by a commission. which rules are nowhere found in any of the session laws. though they are now published In the code supplement. It is because of this confusion that we advocated a codification in our last report. and the two years that have since elapsed have in no way changed our position except to strengthen our ad. vorsey of the measure. There should be uniformity in the enforcement of any law Especlally should this be true of revenue aws. Tn procure uniformity the. codifica- tion indicated in the printed bill befors fhe Twenty-ninth General assembly should be enacted terest.

But one bond, in the sum of §1,600, was sent to the financia) agent for foreciosure during t. last two years. There was collected §4,20.04 interest, ali of which was, on the requisition of Herman Knapp, college treasurer, remitted to him. The interest coliections 'were §1,341.06 less than for the preceding period On_July 11, 1901, there was received from the United Btates government §25,000, and on July 18, 1900, from the same source, §25,- 000, making & total of $0,00. This sum on various requisitions has aiso been remitted to the college treasurer. 10wa now receives the maximum §5,000 annuaily aliowed any state by this_government appropriation, known as the Morrill Endowment. Other Small Levies. Special leyies for the State university and State College of Agruculture and Mechani- cal Arts have varied during the period covered by this report. During the last half of the year 1901 and ail of 1%2 the col- lections were on a one-tenth of one mill levy, and during the first haif of 103 they were on a levy of one-fifth of one mill.

He had killed Charles McCarthy, a plasterer, almost in the pre ence of the latter's wife, who stood In the doorway holding her baby, Then the negro, backing into the door- way of his own quarters, held a crowd of 200 at bay until Patrolman Robert Mooney walked up to him,” disarmed him and took away his weapon. Then came the second exciting attempt of the mob to wreak vengeance on the murderer. Mooney opened the door and took his prisoner into the office of the tile factory in which Brinkley was employed, to await the patrol wagon. But as he did so the crowd surged forward once more, with the ery: “Lynch him, lynch him; get a rope.” Reports from Stations a¢ 7 P, M. “aany edwe mAWIXER CONDITION OF THE WEATHER.

FREMONT MAN HANGS HIMSELF Dead When His Son Comes Home in Evening and Discovers Him, FREMONT, Neb., Sept. §.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Simon K. Simonson, a taflor living at 127 East Military avenue, committed suicide by hanging some time today. His body was found by his son, Charles Si- monson, hanging from a jolst in the barn when he returned from his work at 6 o'clock this evoning. The son immediately cut the rope and notified a neighbor of the affalr, Coroner Brown and the sherlft were su moned. In the opinion of the coroner the man had been dead for several hours. Mr. Simonson had been in poor health for some time and was at times very despond- ent. His family consisted of a daughter, Emma, aged 18, and a son, Charles, who is 23 years old. This morning Emma went to Lincoln to attend the state falr, leaving her father alone for the day. He seemed In his usual health and in good spirits. The son did not come homs for dinner as usual and when he came to the house about 6 o'clock was surprised to find the doors open. The nelghbors noticed the doors open during the day and it is probable that the old man went out and hung him- self very soon after his daughter left. He was born in Denmark in 1839. He came to Saunders county about thirty-five years ago and took up a farm. Eighteen years ago he sold out and came to Fremont, where until recently he worked at the tafl- or's trade, which he learned in Denmark.

REYNOLDS, City Passenger Agent, 1502 Farnam Street, OMAHA, | Biurrqung'mn | { Hume DISEASES OF MEN DON'T WAIT until your whole system is polluted with disease, or until your nervous system is tottering under the strain, and you become a physical and mental wreck, unfit for work, business, study or marriage. With special dis- eases and weaknesses of men you can make vo compromise. You must con- quer them now by the right treatment, or thoy will fill your whole life with fallure, misery and woe. Uncertain, im- proper or half-way treatment can only do harm. Every afficted man owes it to himself, his family and to the future generation to get cured SAFELY and thoroughly. I cure by restoring and pre- serving {important organs. I do not ad- vocate their mutilation or destruction in an effort to make a quick cure, I MAKE NO MISLEADING BTATEMENTS or deceptive propositions to the aMicted, neither do I promise to cure them IN A FEW DAYS in order to recure their patronage, but I guarantee a OOMPLETE, SAFE AND LABTING CURE fn the QUICKEST POSSIBLE TIME, without leaving injurious after-effects in the system, and at the lowest cost pos- sible for HONEST, SKILLFUL and SUCCESSFUL SERVICES. I cure quickly and safely . STRICTURE, VARICOCELE, NERVO-SEXUAL DEBILITY, EMISSIONS, IMPOTENCY, BLOOD POISON, SYPHILIS, RECTAL, KIDNEY AND URINARY DISEASES, and all diseases and weaknesses due to inheritance, evil habits, excesses, or the result of specific diseases.
