LINCOLN, Oct. 24—(Special)—After a most interesting sessicn the principals and superintendents wound up their conventiom this morning by electing these officers W. H. Barts, president; Miss Brown, viee president; F. C. Williams, secretary, and W. H. Wagner, member of the educational council. “Proper Instruction in Narcotics and 'Sllmulunv," was the subject of a paper { by H. B. Ward, in which he sald the phys- lologies pald too much attention to the muscles and such and not enough to the care of the body. He held that the child shiould be taught that it was just as bad to eat too much food as it was to drink t0oo much stimulant. Dr. Wolcott and | others joined In the discussion. After the general discussion A. E. Dav- isson of this city spoke on the advisability of “A Practical Course in Agriculture.” He sald he rejoiced that the study of ag- riculture was being looked into by so many instructors and sald that a course in agri- | culture was one of the most practical things a boy could study. He told of its fascinat- ing lessons and how interesting it was to know how things grew and blossomed. His talk was purely informal, but well directed, and he told the teachers how they could | teach 1t in a small way even without the use of expensive apparatus. Dean Fordyce of University Place and G. A. Gregory of Crete, discussed the question and agreed with Prof. Davisson in every way. Governor Opposes Dances. Governor Mickey, In speaking of the re- port that he had been asked to use his {nflu- ence to stop the dances given at regular Intervals by the university band boys, said: “I have not been asked to Interfere in the least with any dances or to uss my influence to stop them, and I was not aware that a movement was on foot to stop dances given by the classes of the university, and neither was I aware that the university classes gave dances. Of course, it is none of my business, but. in my opinion, no school should endorse danc- Ing or permit it in the name of the school If there were any way to prevent it. From talks with men and women who know, I am positive that dancing is the cause of more women falling than any other social divertisement. 1 get my information from people who have made the dance a study, and they ought to know." State Will Not Purchase, The state will not buy any Cobbey stat- utes for distribution among legislators, which it was authorized to do by the late legislature, which passed the measure over the veto of Governor Mickey. Judge Holmes this morning handed down a ruling to restrain the printing board from buy- ing the books. The injunction sult was brought by a representative of the Journal company, which failed to get the contract for printing the books, but did have the contract for printing the Wheeler statutes. The statutes were to cost the state $9 for a set of two volumes. Judge Holmes held that the act was in contravention of that provision of the con- stitution which prevents members of the legislature from enjoying any compensa- tion or perquisites in addition to their salary, and in so holding touches aup the modern legislator quite freely for his ten- dency to overlook any little provisions of law that may stand in the way of his acquisitiveness. Boy Accidentally t. Clifford Bentley, son of Detective Bent- ley of the Lincoln police department, was accldentally shot in the back of the head this morning by Frank Reed, a playmate, with a 23-caliber rifie. The ball entered a the base of the skull, plowed through the skin and came out near the ear. The wound is not considered serious. Back from Maneuvers, Governor Mickey and Captain Chase of the university returned last night from a fwo days' visit to Fort Riley, where they witnessed the army maneuvers. Both re- port a most enjoyable trip and both were loud tn their praise of the Nebraska boys. “The bringing together of the National Guard and the regular army is a great thing,” said Governor Mickey, “and it will mean the wiping out of the feeling that has heretofore existed between the two. The Dick bill is certaln to work wonders in the military effairs of the country. I enjoyed the trip immensely and was roy- ally recelved and treated by General Barry. All of our boys are giving an excellent ace count of themselves and there is no sick- ness among them. The hospital corps has come In for a great deal of favorable com- ment and it has done much work among the other regiments.” FOUR MEN ESCAPE FROM JAIL Prison pring & Steel Door and k from Wall § Jatler's Absence.

NEW LAW GOVERNS PRESENT ASSESSING Deputies Whe Resume Work Tomeor- Tax Commissioner Fleming corrects a statement made in the reports of the hear- ing on the revenue bill before Judges Baxter and Day, which says that he advised some montha ago by City Attorne Wright to omit the so-called incriminating interrogatories from the list of questions to be asked taxpayers. “Mr. Wright did not so advise me,” eald Mr. Fleming last night. “I have just had a talk with him and he himseif agrees with me that he did uot offer this advice, 8o it Is a mistake to say that 1 went contrary to his advice in this matter. “1 want to say right here that the inter- rogatories mentioned and the new form of oath and the use of the word “none’’ were used only because required by the law and not by my suggestion or dictation. They cannot be required to be used before April 1, 1904, according to the decislon of Judges Day and Baxter. Thelr decision makes it clear, however, that I must use the new law, with these exceptions, for the present assessment, and the work of distributing schedules and completing the assessment will be resumed vigorously Monday morn- ing. The deputies will have instructions to use the schedules prepared, but to omit the things I am restrained by the court from using. I will have printed the old form of oath and attached to these sched- ules as a substitute for the new and will require In each and every case sworn state- ments. This will be necessary to be fair and just to those who already have made sworn statements, numbering about two- thirds of the taxpayers. We should be able to complete the work In another week. Some districts are practically finished now. Part of the force will be discharged during the coming week. “As to the tter of gross and net credits, I shall instruct the deputies to re- celve assessments upon net credits, for three reasons* Gives the Reasons. “First—From the fact that four of the five members of the State Board of Equal- ization, the fifth member being absent from Lincoln on the'day of my interview, having expressed themselves, while not offi- clally as a board, but as individual mem- bers, .that they would favor an assessment of net credits, and that Attorney General Prout, who was present at the meeting, sald he should advise to that effect and that he questioned the constitutionality of the provision for assessment of credits, treating them as gross credits, and sald he was afrald that If gross credits were In- sisted upon It might invalidate the law as a whole. “SBecond—For the reason that the decision of Judges Day and Baxter today In the case of Switzler agalnst the Tax Com- missioner, leaves me without authority to compel the answer to the interrogatories and the taking of the new form of oath, and also deprives me of the power to im- pose a penalty of 50 per cent on the de- linquents. “Third—From an increase in doubt as to the conmstitutionality of the measure re- quiring assessments of credits regardless of indebtedness. While not shaken in the view that the framers and makers, of the law intended to assess gross credits, I feel that it would be a gross injustice to this city to make it an exception to the balance of the state. “It is unfortunate that the state board was not required by law to meet at an earlier date, so that the city tax com- missioners could have had the benefit of its work as a body in the formulation of a schedule which as a board was made part of its duty. I consider myself and Omaha fortunate, however, in being able to have the benefit of its opinion even at as late a date as this. “There is one thing to be noted in the new law, that money is not treated as a credit; money on deposit is treated the same as money on hand, and not as a credit (which latter it was according to the old law). The taxpayer, therefore, cannot deduct what he owes from money on hand or money on deposit, but only from- what is termed credits defined. GOES TO THE PENITENTIARY Jess Stllick, Aged Twenty-One, Ome Year for Stealin, Flot Gets Judge Baxter sentenced Jess Sillick to one year In the state penitentiary for the crime of burglary. Sillick Is 21 years of age and was con- victed of stealing some flour valued at $60. His youthfulness and the fact that he had never before been arrested on a serious charge was all that stood in the way of a heavy sentence. é_——m THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL. Few People Know How Useful it is fn Prescerving Health and Beaauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but few realise its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is & remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not s drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and im- purities always present in the stomach and Intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal swestens the breath after smok- ing, drinking or after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. it whitens the %esth and further acts as & natural and eminently safe carthartic. It the injurious gases which col- | lect In the stomach and bowels; it disin. fects the mouth and throat from the poison of eatarrh. - Al druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is In Stuart's Absorbent Losenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics in tablet form, or, rather, in the form of large, pleasant tasting losenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey. The dally use of these lozenges will soon tell in & much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the uty of it is, that no possible harm result THOUSANDS HAVE KIONEY TROUBLE WD DONT KHOW I To Prove what Swamp-Root, the Great Kidney Reme | edy, Will Do for YOU, Every Reader of The Omaha Bee May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free by ' Mail.
