story of Il shave.

To be bound hand apd footfor years
by the chains OF disease is the worst
form of slavery. Geo. ID. Williams
of Manchester. Mich. tells how such
a slave was made free. He says: My
wife has been so helpless for five years
that she conld not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles of
Electric Bitlers. she Is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own
work. This supreme remedy for fe-
male diseases quickly cures nervous
ness, sleeplessness. melancholy, head
ache, backache. fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medi-
cine is a godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guaran-
tsed. Only so cents. Sold by I. Ben

THE WEAVER LAW ILLEGAL
State supreme Court AboiIshes the In
surance Commission.


Several decisions of public import
ance were given Tuesday by the Ne
braska supreme court, including n
declaring the entire Weaver .insur-
ance law void, and another supporting
the legality of the board of transpor-
tation, and still another giving the Of
icial bondsmen of ex-State Treasurer
BARLEY against trial. The ease of the
state anotherthe Omaha National bank,
a suit To recover s20l 1874, vas re-
vcrsed and remandcd for another trial.
The Weaver law sought to transfer
the insurance department from the Of
flee of the auditor to the control of the
governor and to provide n new system
of fees and taxation for insurance
companies. Auditor Cornell had re-
fused to deliver possession of the de-
%partment, but Governor Poynter APP.
pointed Wilbur +. Bryant as insurance
commissioner, and Mr.. Bryant opened
up an Office July l.. Later Auditor
Cornell instituted a case in the
supreme court to test the validity of
the Weaver law. He pa:ticu-
larly attacked the act because
he Believed it created a new
executive office, contrary to the
constitution. The court holds that sec
ton 80 and 81 of the Weaver act are
void for the reason that they contra
vene sections / and 4 of article 0 of
the constitution, relating to taxation
and prohibiting communication OF taxes
or discrimination in the matter of
taxation. As these sections were an
inducement for the passage Of the act
the entire act must fall. Sections SO
and 81 of the Weaver act fix the fees
that insurance companies must pay for
licenses, establish u 9 per cent tax up
on the gross premiums of forei gn com
panies, and provide that "all taxes and
fees above provided shall be paid to
the state treasurer, and shall be in full
of all fees and taxes except on real
estate, which may be imposed by any
county, municipality or the state"
Another plan is provided for domestic
companies, that they shall be taxed
upon the excess of premiums received
over losses and expenses incurred
within the state during the previous
year. These sections are held to dis
criminate. One section would permit
companies to escape payment of taxes
on personal property.
